1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Finish question, Well, you brought a public trust at forty

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: one percent, So in a general way, without going for

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: an hour, tell me what you're going to do to sorry,

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: increase the public trust to the FBI.

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: Simple, make sure we don't have.

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 3: And gentlemen, welcome to Human Events Daily.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 4: Today is January thirtieth, in the year of Our Lord

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. We were taking you live through the

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 4: various hearings going on right now.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: We had law enforcement once we achieve that mission.

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 5: This is what happens when the fourth Turning meets fifth

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 5: generation warfare.

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 6: A commentator, international social media sensation, and form a Navy

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 6: intelligence veteran.

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: This is Human Events with your host Jack Pisovic christ

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: Is King.

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: Well, you probably discerned by now it's not Jack Pisobic,

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: it's Natalie G. Winters of the War Room filling in

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: for the next hour. But don't go anywhere where, of course,

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 4: can be dipping in and out of the hearings going

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 4: on right now. We have some people boots on the

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: ground providing US live coverage. But you're probably wondering where

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 4: the one and only Jack Pisobic is. So I'm going

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: to do something that we're not used to doing here,

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: I guess in the war room or human events Daley,

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: and that's reading something verbatim. But this is so awesome

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: for Jack for the show, I want to read it

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: straight from the press. Jack Pisobic is on assignment with

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 4: Secretary of Homeland Security Christinome in Vermont to be with

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 4: the family of the Border Patrol agent who is tragically

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: killed on January twentieth. Posa will also attend a crucial

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 4: briefing on the northern border operations happening shortly.

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: Hence why, like I said, you probably picked up on

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: it by now.

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: Natalie Winter's sitting here filling in for none other than

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: Jack Pisobic. But don't worry, You're still going to get

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: your brother's Posobic fixed because we actually have the one

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: and only Kevin Pisobic joining us down the line. I

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: believe outside of the Heart Senate office building, which is

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: where the cash could tell hearing you just saw a

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: little bit of live footage from and I'm sure you've

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: already seen the clips coming out today. Coming in I believe,

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: like I said, from the Heart Center office building is

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: Kevin Besoda because he's been there in person. Watching it, Kevin,

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: if you can put us in the room for our

47
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: viewers who aren't fortunate enough to be there, What is

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: the energy like in terms of the crowd, and more importantly,

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: how do you think the hearing has been going so far?

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 7: Hey Natalie, nice to see you up there again. Thanks

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 7: for stepping up. Yeah, we're down here at the Heart

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 7: Building to room two on six for Casher's confirmation hearing.

53
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 7: It was a blast in. There's still going on actually,

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 7: but so many great things coming out there and I'm

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 7: here in TULCI and RFK also add pretty pretty successful

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 7: meetings as well. And there was one of the things

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 7: I want to point out with Cash especially so many

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 7: good quotes he was saying. One was like we want

59
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 7: to have just Parks the play in again and not

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 7: needles to walk on. Everybody was trying to brace him,

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 7: all the Democrat senators just trying to get him on

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 7: this and that, and he just wants to bring back

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 7: law and order really like that's it, that's it. He

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 7: just wants to uphold the constitution and go after the

65
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 7: bad guys. And like he kept saying, like just keeping

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 7: it simple and getting the DC police, especially the Capitol

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 7: Police and all law enforcements. I mean, the premier service

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 7: of the whole world to be the FBI. Only forty

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 7: percent of Americans have faith and trust in the FBI

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 7: right now. And Cash is going to swear in to

71
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 7: his oath to restore that, to restore that for everybody.

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 7: And he's been on he's been on there since nine

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 7: point thirty this morning testifying to that. And it's amazing

74
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 7: to see, I mean all that, and he's got quote.

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 7: Another one I was happy to see was Josh Hawley

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 7: came out in force just asking, Hey, are you going

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 7: to continue to investigate Catholics for their their extremist views here?

78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 7: Or are we going to go after like real terrorists

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 7: and knocking their doors and the drug cartels and stop

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 7: allowing all the fentanyl to come over the border. Like

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 7: what what parges? Have we seen any Catholics? Do any

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 7: any any Elso Herald and.

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: Kevin, I'm just I'm just curious to about a minute

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: and a half before we've got to cut to break. Obviously,

85
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: we've heard time and time again all the sort of

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 4: go to cliche attacks that they used against Cash Pattel.

87
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: Were there any sort of novel assertions obviously absurd and

88
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: false and smear campaigns. But were there any new attacks

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: that they sort of unveiled today exclusively saving them for

90
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: the hearings today or was it just more same old,

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: same old.

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 7: All right, thanks Natalie, Yeah, that's great. You know, it's

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 7: incredible to see cash up there. He was saying every

94
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 7: time a senator came in that every seven minutes in

95
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 7: this country, there's statistically, what did he say, two uh

96
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 7: to two overdoses, one murder, and three rapes every seven minutes.

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 7: So what do we you know, what are we doing

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 7: with all this, all this uh, you know, belittling him,

99
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 7: asking him if he's uh, you know this is Honestly,

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 7: there was a lot of shout out to the war room.

101
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 7: Really they kept they kept talking about the national anthem,

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 7: so I mean, we'll take it, we'll take the take

103
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 7: the free press. And especially because he was doing you know,

104
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 7: we donated all the money to charity towards the families

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 7: of injustice. And you know he's already starting, he's already

106
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 7: starting day one here. It's pretty great to see. It's

107
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 7: great to be down here.

108
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd love to audit all the senators who are

109
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: calling for such a fine tuned audits of Cash. Patel,

110
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: maybe we'll get those, Kevin. I think we're gonna jump

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: back to the hearing. It seems like some explosive stuff

112
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 4: is probably probably already going down in the meantime, though,

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: thank you so much for bring these hearings live. If

114
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: people want to follow you stay up to date with

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: your analysis of this and so much more, where can

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 4: they go to do that?

117
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: It looks like we're just going to go to cash.

118
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: Let's go back to.

119
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 8: Cash leadership that have politicized the law enforcement mission, and

120
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 8: we have spent I have spent a career removing politics

121
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 8: from law enforcement. And that's what the National Sheriff's Association

122
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 8: is all about. And I believe that's why they endorsed

123
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 8: me as a nominee for the first time ever.

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 9: So that's why they like you, that's why they support you.

125
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 9: That's why they've chosen to come in to come out

126
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 9: fully in support of your nomination of getting you confirmed,

127
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 9: because you share that view of you that has been

128
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 9: expressed by nearly every member of this committee today. I

129
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 9: would add, and this group a very large group of

130
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 9: law enforcement officials from throughout the United States of America,

131
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 9: has come in in support of you because of that.

132
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 9: As they do that, they express confidence in you specifically

133
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 9: and in your ability in particular to bring back quote transparency, integrity, collaboration,

134
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 9: and commitment to excellence within the FBI. Tell me what

135
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 9: you'll do in order to do that and how you'll

136
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 9: commit to work with other law enforcement both within the FBI,

137
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 9: elsewhere within the federal government and with state local law

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 9: enforcement officials to bring that back.

139
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 8: Senator, the only way to truly remove weaponization and politicization

140
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 8: from law enforcement is to follow the constitution. And if

141
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 8: you look at the FBI's website and their mission statement

142
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 8: and their core values, each has eight and the eighth

143
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 8: and last core value of the mission statement on the

144
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 8: FBI's website right now is fighting violent crime.

145
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: That needs to be number one.

146
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 8: The eighth core value out of all core values on

147
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 8: the FBI's website right now is rigorous obedience to the

148
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 8: Constitution that needs to be number one. Reorienting these policies

149
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 8: with an effective leadership in place.

150
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: To follow the law will allow us.

151
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 8: To achieve a singular standard of constitutional law enforcement. And

152
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 8: that is the only way you remove the weaponization from

153
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 8: politics and excuse me from law enforcement. And that's what

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 8: the sheriffs are talking about, and that's what cops are

155
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 8: talking about.

156
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 9: If men and women were angels, we wouldn't need government.

157
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 9: If we had angels to govern us, we wouldn't need

158
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 9: a constitution. We're not angels. We don't have access to them.

159
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 9: So we got to follow the rules, and that's your

160
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 9: top job. I appreciate your support for the constitution.

161
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 10: Center.

162
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 5: Wait, Hoose, just to tell you supposedly know something about

163
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 5: grand juries. I just went to the DOJ website to

164
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 5: get language. I'm quoting it. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure

165
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: six's e prohibits most persons present during the proceedings from

166
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 5: disclosing what transpired inside the grand jury room. However, the

167
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: proscription does not apply to witnesses. Now, as a grand

168
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 5: jury witness, authorize this committee access to a transcript of

169
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 5: your own testimony.

170
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 8: Center, I authorize this committee to get whatever is appropriate

171
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 8: and lawful, as I've said.

172
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: Before, specifically including the transcript of your grand jury testimony,

173
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 5: which you have the authority to authorize us to obtain.

174
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know if I singularly have that authority.

175
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 8: I don't think that's how grandury testimony works.

176
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: You do juste you do because you are the witness.

177
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Son't do that. There's also a court order on that case, sir.

178
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: Separately, you can get grand jury testimony by court order.

179
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 5: The witnesses can always reveal their grand jury testimony. Do

180
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 5: you authorize us to get access to your testimony?

181
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 8: I authorize this committee to lawfully obtain any records that

182
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 8: they are appropriately allowed to get.

183
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: And we are only you're speaking in circles now because

184
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: we're only lawfully or authorized to get at that with

185
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 5: your permission as the witness. Do you give us that permission?

186
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 8: Senator, I'm not an expert on this constitutional standard, and

187
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 8: so I can't commit to.

188
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: Something it's not expert.

189
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: It's like super simple grand jury Rule six e doesn't

190
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 5: apply to witnesses. This is not hard. You are a witness.

191
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 5: That is a simple fact. I'm just authorized us to see.

192
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: It as a prosecutor.

193
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 8: Where grand jury witnesses were not allowed to share what

194
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 8: they were testifying to and when I was commissioned.

195
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: Brandurry, witnesses are allowed to speak about what they were

196
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 5: told well in the about what they said in the

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 5: grand jury, unless they're under a specific court order. Are

198
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: you under a specific court order not to reveal your

199
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 5: testimony in the grand jury?

200
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 8: Senator, I can't go into I can't go into court

201
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 8: orders granted by the DC District Chief Judge.

202
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 10: If they apply to you.

203
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: Of course you can.

204
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: You want me to violate a court order.

205
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: You're saying that there's a secret court order in which

206
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 5: you can't tell whether you're subject to a court order

207
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: or not.

208
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 8: I'm telling you that if you find the applicable court

209
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 8: order and it permits this.

210
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 5: I don't need a court order if you give authorization.

211
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 8: I'm not the one that has the authority to do that.

212
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: Yes, you are as a witness. You're just wrong on

213
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: that second. The FBI has records related to the criminal

214
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 5: investigations of Donald Trump. Will you protect those records in

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: a manner consistent with ordinary FBI document preservation practices? As

216
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: head of the FBI, all records will no destruction of

217
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: documents to please Trump.

218
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 8: No, I think he put forth a memo saying all

219
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 8: records must be preserved.

220
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 10: Good Senator Kennedy, thank you, mister Chairman.

221
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 11: Mister Patel, did you did you listen to what my colleague,

222
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 11: Senator Welsh had to say about politicizing the FBI and

223
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 11: the Department of Justice. I did, sir, I did too.

224
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 11: I always listen when Senator Welch speaks, and he's right.

225
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 11: But here's where we find ourselves today. And you can

226
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 11: put an end to this. For better or worse, either

227
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 11: in reality or perception. In modern times, the FBI has

228
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 11: been politicized, or at least there's an appearance. It started

229
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 11: with mister James call me. He publicly investigated the the

230
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 11: political nominee of both major parties, give us a book

231
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 11: of world records. He publicly investigated bo Donald Trump and

232
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 11: Hillary Clinton held a press conference. Hurt that agency more

233
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 11: than I will ever know. I wouldn't put I wouldn't

234
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 11: put mister Comby in charge of a ham sandwich. And

235
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 11: so did Peter Struck, and so did Lisa Page, and

236
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 11: so did Michael Sussman and the person who gave him,

237
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 11: a Hillary Cumtant lawyer, a pass to roam around the

238
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 11: Department of Justice and the FBI at will. And so

239
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 11: did the prosecutors who tried to slip by a two

240
00:13:51,920 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 11: misdemeanor plea deal for the President's son. And it, and

241
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 11: it hurts me to say this, but so did Attorney

242
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 11: General Garland for the first time in the history of

243
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 11: ever the Attorney General Garland, the Attorney General Garland shows

244
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 11: to prosecute are former president of the United States. And

245
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 11: this part is really special. He did it after the

246
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 11: former president of the United States announced that he would

247
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 11: be a candidate against his Attorney General Garland's boss. Forget

248
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 11: the merits. We can argue those all day long. You

249
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 11: understand the perception. It's got to end now. The seal

250
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 11: has been broken. We've got to stop it now. Don't

251
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 11: go over there and burn down that agency. You go

252
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 11: over there and lift it up, clean it out, but

253
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 11: lifted up in accordance with due process and the room

254
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 11: of aw because Senator Weils is right.

255
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 10: This has got to end now.

256
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 12: Sir Coon, thank you, Chairman Grassley, mister Patel. Our agencies,

257
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 12: in particular the FBI and DOJ critically rely on Inspectors

258
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 12: General and General Counsels for advice. As Chair Grassley and

259
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 12: many of us have long recognized federal agencies rely on

260
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 12: the independent oversight of Inspectors General, and agencies depend on

261
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 12: the legal advice of offices of General Counsel, and as

262
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 12: you've testified today, it's your intention to lead the FBI

263
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 12: within the boundaries of law and the Constitution. Last week,

264
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 12: President Trump fired more than a dozen Inspectors general and

265
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 12: provided no notice to Congress.

266
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 10: We passed the.

267
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 12: Law in twenty twenty two requiring the President to provide

268
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 12: Congress with a substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons,

269
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 12: thirty days before the removal of anyig. How many days

270
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 12: has President Trump been in office?

271
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 10: Sorry? Center?

272
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: Approximately ten?

273
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 10: Ten?

274
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 12: Is it possible to give thirty days notice in ten days?

275
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm not great at maath, but it doesn't sound like it.

276
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 13: It doesn't.

277
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 12: You're an attorney. Did Trump violate facially violate this law

278
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 12: in terms of the timing of the firing of the

279
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 12: inspectors general?

280
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 8: Center, I'm not going to entertain a hypothetic on legal violations,

281
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 8: but I will look into all possible legal violations referred.

282
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 12: I'll simply say that for those of us concerned about

283
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 12: the quality and the duration of service of inspectors general,

284
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 12: this was troubling, and frankly, I think it is a

285
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 12: facial violation of a law passed by Congress. In September

286
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 12: twenty twenty three, on The Great America Show, a podcast.

287
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 12: You said, and I believe I'm quoting accurately, all these

288
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 12: General Counsel's offices throughout every agency and department need to

289
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 12: be slashed in half, because these lawyers just come in there,

290
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 12: and they come in there to slow down and paralyze

291
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 12: the movement of the America First Agenda. Mister Pateel, does

292
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 12: that comment suggest that, if confirmed, it would be your

293
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 12: intention to fire the career civil sermons the lawyers in

294
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 12: the FBI's General Council office.

295
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: No, could you give.

296
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 12: Us any reassurance that it would be your intention to

297
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 12: listen to the advice and council of the Inspector General

298
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 12: of the department and the General Council of the agency.

299
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: With addressing those in order center with IGS.

300
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 8: As you know, I believe and I've shown throughout this

301
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 8: preceding that IGS have provided valuable service in Republican and

302
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 8: democratic administrations, and I think they're critical and we must

303
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 8: have competent IGS going forward. Similarly, with General Council's officers

304
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 8: who are stocked with career employees, those employees must continue

305
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 8: their work so long as no employee politicizes the work

306
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 8: and mission of the FBI.

307
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 12: Thank you, My core concern about these firings of the igs,

308
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 12: about the independence of the agency have not.

309
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: Been fully satisfied.

310
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 12: I appreciate your answers here today, but I remain concerned

311
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 12: by your previous statements and your answers here today.

312
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, mister Chairman.

313
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: Before I recognize he's Drew, Senator has some you you know, it's.

314
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 14: Good, Miss Chairman. I have two letters here i'd ask

315
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 14: younans consent they'd be entered into the record. One is

316
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 14: from William Webster, FBI director under Presidents Carter and Reagan

317
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 14: and c A director under Reagan and Bush. He's in

318
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 14: the audience. And another from twenty three Republican former law

319
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 14: enforcement officials. These are letters in opposition to the nomination

320
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 14: without objections or Senator.

321
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 10: Cruz, thank you, miss Chairman. Mister Brittel.

322
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 15: In the first round of questioning, you and I talked

323
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 15: about the politicization and weaponization of the FBI and the

324
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 15: Department of Justice. That has significant negative consequences in terms

325
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 15: of undermining trust in the FBI the Department of Justice,

326
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 15: and abusing the power of the FBI and the Department

327
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 15: of Justice. But it also has consequences in that it

328
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 15: diverts resources at the FBI and DOJ from urgent law

329
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 15: enforcement and national security priorities. I will tell you when

330
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 15: I go back home to Texas, I am somewhat regularly

331
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 15: asked by Texans should we abolish the FBI?

332
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Now?

333
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 15: My answer to that is an emphatic no.

334
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 10: The FBI has a.

335
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 15: Critical mission of stopping bad guys, whether serial killers or

336
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 15: human traffickers, or child molesters or terrorists. But it says

337
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 15: something that a sizable percentage of America has so lost

338
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 15: faith in the bureau that they believe it should be

339
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 15: shut down. I think allowing the FBI to be politicized

340
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 15: has resulted in far too little attention being placed on

341
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 15: very serious national security.

342
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 8: Risks cuting and stopping any terrorist attacks here and any

343
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 8: homegrown activities abroad that are directed at the United States

344
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 8: of America, along with countermanding the CCP espionage rings in

345
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 8: this country which dovetail with the foreign terrorist organization activity.

346
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 15: Does it concern you that Customs and Border Patrol in

347
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 15: the previous administration instructed border patrol agents in particular to

348
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 15: be on the lookout for Hamas or Hesbalo or Palestinian

349
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 15: Islamic jihad terrorists crossing our southern border. Does that concern

350
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 15: you as a risk to Americans across the country, That.

351
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 8: Along with the fact that the prior Homeland Secretary and

352
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 8: the prior FBI Director testified to Congress that there are

353
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 8: dozens of known foreign terrorist affiliates in the United States

354
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 8: of America and they don't know where they are.

355
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 15: And it will be your priority to stop them.

356
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 10: Is that correct?

357
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

358
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 13: Thank you, Thanks, Miss Chairman. I'm going to ask you

359
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 13: some easy questions. I take it from what you have

360
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 13: said to a couple of my colleagues that while we

361
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 13: may disagree on the meaning of Rule sixty as to

362
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 13: getting the transcript, you would not object to this committee

363
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 13: seeking access to that transcript. No, and you're aware that

364
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 13: Rule sixty permits you to talk about your own testimony.

365
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 13: Will you testify to this committee, let's say, in a

366
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 13: classified setting, as to what you said to the grand jury.

367
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: Center.

368
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 8: I'm here to testify to this committee about everything I'm

369
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 8: allowed to, and.

370
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 13: You're allowed under Rule sixty to tell us what you

371
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 13: said to the grand jury. This is kind of the

372
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 13: first day that an assistant US attorney goes to the

373
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 13: first grand jury and is asked by witness, can I

374
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 13: talk about what I told you? And the answer is yes, you.

375
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 8: Know, center, I will consult with counsel and provide the appropriate.

376
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 13: Me Let me just say, right to the point, Prittel,

377
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 13: what are you hiding?

378
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 10: Why won't you tell us? You testified under a.

379
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 13: Grant of immunity after taking the Fifth Amendment, as you're

380
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 13: privileged to do, and the appearance here is that you

381
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 13: have something to hide. I submit to my colleagues on

382
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 13: the committee, we need to know what the grand jury

383
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 13: testimony is. We need access to that second volume, and

384
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 13: you have no objection to our seeking it, but you

385
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 13: won't tell us, even in a classified confidential setting. I

386
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 13: think that position is disqualifying.

387
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 8: That was days of testimony years ago. I don't have

388
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 8: the ability to record.

389
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 16: Well.

390
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 13: You can refresh your recollection with access transcript. Let me

391
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 13: ask you another topic, and I really regret that you

392
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 13: won't cooperate with us on the grand jury testimony. Would

393
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 13: you object to the firing of the Department Justice Inspector

394
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 13: General Michael Horowitz?

395
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: Would I object to it?

396
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 8: That's the providence for the Attorney General to make. It's

397
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 8: not something I would participate, but.

398
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 13: You know, of his work, it's been bipartisan, very thorough, competent, objective, impartial.

399
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 13: He has been critical in Republican and Democratic administration. Won't

400
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 13: you object to his firing?

401
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 8: I think he's done a great job. But it's not

402
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 8: up to me to decide who stays and goes at

403
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 8: the Department of Justice.

404
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 13: But I'm not asking you to make the decision. I'm

405
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 13: asking you whether you will take a stand, speak up,

406
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 13: stand up in favor of a watchdog who has helped

407
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 13: preserve the integrity the Department of Justice and aligned himself

408
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 13: against waste and fraud and abuse.

409
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: If the Attorney General asked me, yes for my opinion.

410
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 10: Thank you, Miss Chairman, Thank.

411
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 17: You, mister Chairman, Mister Brittel. I want to continue on

412
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 17: a brief topic I earlier and one that we've discussed

413
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 17: in my office when you came to visit in December,

414
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 17: and that is Redstone Arsenal and the FBI assets and

415
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 17: the men and women that will report to you when

416
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 17: confirmed that are there in Huntsville, Alabama. So I really

417
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 17: want you to come and visit with me. The state

418
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 17: of the art facilities that you have that we have

419
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 17: there are pretty incredible. I mean when you look across

420
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 17: the board, we have the Ballistics Research Facility, the Hazardous

421
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 17: Device School, we have t DAC, which is the Terrorist

422
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 17: Terrorist Explosive Device Analytics Center, and last, but not least obviously,

423
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 17: what is sometimes referred to as Headquarters South, we have

424
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 17: the sprawling North and South campus of the FBI. Look,

425
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 17: there has been over four billion dollars invested there. It

426
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 17: is truly remarkable that the training that is going on there.

427
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 17: There's they are delivering to missions when it comes to

428
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 17: emerging technologies, investigating lead generation, security and contracts, personnel, and

429
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 17: human resources, just to name a few. Fortunately, I don't

430
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 17: have enough time in by three minutes to dive into

431
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 17: all of the incredible work that's doing there, but just

432
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 17: want to reiterate that the workforce occupying these facilities, they

433
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 17: were moved from.

434
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 10: DC to Huntsville.

435
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 17: They are working diligently each and every day to make

436
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 17: sure that men and women in uniform are the best trained,

437
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 17: equipped and ready that there is. And I would love

438
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 17: a commitment from you just to come with me to

439
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 17: visit those facilities, see what those men and women are doing,

440
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 17: what they're learning, and all of the training that's right

441
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 17: there at their fingertips center.

442
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: You have that commitment.

443
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 8: And this is a great example, real quick of the

444
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 8: FBI's capabilities and infrastructure systems around the country that already

445
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 8: exist to the tune of billions. And not only is it,

446
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 8: I believe a thirty eight thousand acre sprawling campus. This

447
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 8: Congress billeted two five hundred seats, but four thousand seats

448
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 8: still remain open.

449
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: So let's go to work. I'll come to Alabama and

450
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: let's fill those seats. Absolutely, I love it.

451
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 17: I love to hear that. And another thing too, Obviously,

452
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 17: as we've looked over the last couple of years, I'll

453
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 17: put on my appropriator hat. The budget obviously for the

454
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 17: FBI has been decreased. Obviously you're going to help us

455
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 17: return America's trust in the FBI. But as we look

456
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 17: at that and we try to make those numbers work,

457
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 17: I just want on your radar. I want you to

458
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 17: be thoughtful about this. You know it's easy to say

459
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 17: let's cut training. That's an easy thing to cut. First,

460
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 17: I think that that's the worst thing that we can do.

461
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: We want to make.

462
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 17: Sure that our men and women are ready, that they're

463
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 17: ready to find leads that lead to child trafficking rings

464
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 17: and other things. And you've talked about the rapes, the

465
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 17: fentanyl overdoses, the murders. We want to make sure that

466
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 17: we are equipping them with all the tools necessary to

467
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 17: make those strides for the American people. And so just

468
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 17: want your commitment from you that as we look at

469
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 17: those things, that you will take a good look at

470
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 17: training and make sure that that's not the first thing

471
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 17: that they can It's.

472
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: Got absolutely high standards in Meerica.

473
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 18: Thank you so much, Thank you, mister chairman. As we

474
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 18: talked about, mister Patel, truth incredibly important in an FBI director,

475
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 18: and a number of the things I asked you about

476
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 18: in the first round you didn't recall or you wanted

477
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 18: more context. I'm going to give you one of those.

478
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 18: I'll give you the rest on the record. That was

479
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 18: about when I asked you about the Capitol police officers

480
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 18: who testified in the January sixth hearings, and you accuse

481
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 18: them of lying. You said, and I quote, I don't

482
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 18: think that's accurate. I actually have the transcript here which

483
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 18: was reported by the Washington Post, and that was in

484
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 18: March of twenty twenty four on Joe Pack's podcast he

485
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 18: asked you the Capitol Police in that fake January sixth

486
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 18: committee they didn't tell the truth, did they, Patel? No,

487
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 18: not just them, many others, and lying under oath is

488
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 18: a federal offense and they should be investigated for it.

489
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 18: Do you believe that about the police officers?

490
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 8: General statement and a mischaracterization of what I said. I

491
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 8: encourage you to read the rest of the interview. This

492
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 8: is why snippets of information are often misleading and detrimental

493
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 8: to this committee's advice and consent.

494
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 18: If you consent, I would love to have five hours

495
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 18: of questions and then I could read the whole transcripts.

496
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: You've got two minutes.

497
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 18: Wow. In September, you referred to the FBI's Intel Branch,

498
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 18: which was stood up after nine to eleven and works

499
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 18: to protect us from foreign adversaries like China as quote

500
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 18: the biggest problem the FBI has had quote, and you

501
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 18: said you wanted to quote break that component out of

502
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 18: the FBI. It was the same sentence where you said

503
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 18: about turning the FBI headquarters into a museum. Do you

504
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 18: really think that closing the Intel Branch will make Americans safer?

505
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: Again, that's not what I said.

506
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 8: The Intelligence component of the FBI has seen some politicization

507
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 8: and weaponization that we've discussed here today, and intelligence collection

508
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 8: capabilities belong in the intelligence community. Having served in both

509
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 8: law enforce and intelligence communities, I'm uniquely qualified to bring

510
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 8: the intelligence limited component back.

511
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: To the FBI.

512
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 8: That ties back to the legislative mandate of prosecuting and

513
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 8: investigating criminals.

514
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 18: Okay, last I will end early. Mister Chairman, you said

515
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 18: in May of twenty twenty three, this is important to

516
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 18: all of us because Elon Musk is playing such a

517
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 18: major role in the government right now. You said Elon

518
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 18: Musk cares about two things, your data and his money.

519
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 18: Do you still stand by those words.

520
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't have that entire quote, but that's what it says.

521
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 18: It was in a you were angry because of an

522
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 18: endorsement of Governor DeSantis in Florida, and so you were

523
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 18: defending Donald Trump, and so you criticized Elon Musk, and

524
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 18: that's what's the context for it. And you said, Elon

525
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 18: Musk cares about two things, your data and his money.

526
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 18: And it matters to us because he's playing such a

527
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 18: major role in the government. And so I just wonder

528
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 18: if you think that's true.

529
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 8: I don't have that full quot out in front of

530
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 8: me to respond, thank you, thank.

531
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: You, sir.

532
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 19: It sounds to me like my fellow senator is trying

533
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 19: to get you to move FBI headquarters to Alabama. I

534
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 19: have a full list of why actually moved to Florida,

535
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 19: and at the very least, maybe a Flora Bama FBI HQ.

536
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 19: Good people, there are good recruits. We would fully support it.

537
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 19: Moving on to a more serious matter, I know you

538
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 19: would be shocked to learn this. As AG and as

539
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 19: the chair of the Human Trafficking Council in Florida, we

540
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 19: saw trafficking explode around the nation as a result of

541
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 19: the Biden administration wide open borders. It's no surprise to anyone,

542
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 19: but it might shock you to know that the National

543
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 19: Human Trafficking Hotline that was funded by Congress to report

544
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 19: tips to law enforcement in the last four years, decided

545
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 19: that they would no longer report tips to law enforcement,

546
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 19: that they would take a more victim centered approach. And

547
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 19: this fell in line with a lot of what we

548
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 19: saw over the last four years with people saying things

549
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 19: like defund the police, abolish the police, nonsense policies that

550
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 19: lead to an explosion in crime. You and I both

551
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 19: understand that from our prior work experience.

552
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely so.

553
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 19: There was a CEO that was put in charge in

554
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 19: the last four years who said she that we cannot

555
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 19: arrest our way out of the human trafficking problem. And

556
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 19: I quote trafficking in all its forms is the end

557
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 19: result of inequities, abuses of power, and massive system, systemic

558
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 19: and government failures. Do you believe that that is in

559
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 19: fact the cause of human trafficking or is it the

560
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 19: result of evil, heinous humans that seek to profit off

561
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 19: of others pain.

562
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 8: The only people responsible for human trafficking are the criminals

563
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 8: that intentionally traffic in humans, in children and exploit them.

564
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 8: And if I'm confirmed, it will be one of the

565
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 8: top priorities to make sure that doesn't happen in this

566
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 8: country and that we find the thousands of missing children

567
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 8: that are still missing. I, along with many of the

568
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 8: other Attorneys general in this nation, in a bypower to

569
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 8: some fashion, not only demanded that they begin reporting tips

570
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 8: to law enforcement so that they could follow up and

571
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 8: go after the traffickers so that they didn't do to

572
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 8: victimize and victimize.

573
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 19: Others, but we also came to Congress and tried to

574
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 19: get funding pulled or at least a mandate that they

575
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 19: do what they were created to do, and that is

576
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 19: to report tips to law enforcement. Do I have your

577
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 19: word moving forward as someone who understands the necessity to

578
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 19: go after traffickers, to not only identify and rescue victims,

579
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 19: but to shure there aren't other victims?

580
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: Do I have your word?

581
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 19: You'll work with me to come to Congress to make

582
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 19: sure that that happens so that that can never happen again.

583
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 10: You do, Senator, I'm proud.

584
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 19: To say in Florida we were able. When we didn't

585
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 19: get that result here in Congress, we started our own HOTLINEES,

586
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 19: one of the first in the nation, and no surprise,

587
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 19: we immediately rescued ten victims of human trafficking that were

588
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 19: being held by force and massage parlors. Reporting to law

589
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 19: enforcement works. It allows us to rescue and save lives,

590
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 19: and I know you will bring that mission focus back

591
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 19: to the FBI.

592
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, Senator.

593
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 10: I will.

594
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 16: Thank you, mister Chairman. Mister Chairman, I want to touch

595
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 16: on something that it's been on my mind lately, and

596
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 16: I will try it back to this hearing. We have

597
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 16: seen a wholesale attack and assault in the past two

598
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 16: weeks by President Trump on the value of diversity. Through

599
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 16: his executive orders, he is seeking to dismantle over sixty

600
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 16: years of work to promote equal opportunity in the federal government.

601
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 16: His pronouncements have gotten so bad that apparently the Defense

602
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 16: Intelligence Agency issued a memo two days ago that it

603
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 16: would no longer commemorate Martin Luther King Day, Women's History Months,

604
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 16: Holocaust Day of Remembrance, or Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month,

605
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 16: and so on. Why is there such a fear of

606
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 16: people who are different? In Hawaii, we celebrate diversity, know

607
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 16: that it gives us strength. It is part of what

608
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 16: makes Hawaii and America greed. Mister Pattel, earlier you shared

609
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 16: some deplorable racist rhetoric that have been used against you.

610
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 16: As someone who has also been the recipient of this

611
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 16: sort of hateful language, I am deeply sympathetic. I also note,

612
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 16: mister Pattel, then in the past, you have recognized the

613
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 16: value of diversity. Back when you were in law school,

614
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 16: you signed on to an amicus brief in the Grither

615
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 16: case supporting consideration of race in law school admissions. I

616
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 16: hope that joining the Trump administration will not cause you

617
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 16: to change your views on the value of diversity. Reflecting

618
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 16: on this hearing, it is sad that we are considering

619
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 16: mister Pattell's nomination despite his gross inadequacy to do the

620
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 16: job of FBI director fairly and objectively. Yet there is

621
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 16: no question that much pressure has been brought to bear

622
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 16: on my Republican colleagues to support this nomination. For example,

623
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 16: a man named Mike Davis has been threatening my Republican colleagues.

624
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 16: He said that this vote was a red line that

625
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 16: if Senate Republicans don't vote to confirm mister Patel, his organization,

626
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 16: a group called the Article three Project, would make their

627
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 16: lives a living hell. I certainly hope that all of

628
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 16: us will base our vote on your nomination on the

629
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 16: best interests who can work in the best interest of

630
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 16: our country, and not based on this sort of pressure.

631
00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 12: Thank you, mister Chairman.

632
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: Yes, I can hear you. Yes, yes, yes, of course.

633
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 20: Yeah, and you and you. I think you've stated that

634
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 20: the best reflection and the most accurate version of your

635
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 20: testimony is the transcript in the grand jury question uh

636
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 20: testimony that you're fine to be released, but the court

637
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 20: has to go do that, right. Yeah, okay, And it

638
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 20: lasted like three or four days, is what we were saying. Yes,

639
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 20: I also want to Senat Durbins talked about, you know

640
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 20: what your priority or your priorities will be, and I

641
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 20: think your testimony has been that it will be adherence

642
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 20: to the Constitution and the people the United States of America. Right,

643
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 20: you take that very seriously.

644
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the only thing that matters.

645
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 20: Could you talk about maybe some other priorities we talked

646
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 20: to We talked initially my first round, about getting the

647
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 20: FBI back to its core mission, which is to fight

648
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 20: crime and not you know, sort of try to do

649
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 20: the things that it's been doing the last four years.

650
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 20: Talk about how you might bring that together.

651
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 8: So, Senator I appreciate the questions. Something I wanted to

652
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 8: address maybe six hours ago. So I appreciate the opportunity.

653
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 2: To do it now.

654
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 8: Whether we prioritize going after violent crime and national security,

655
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 8: we cannot defend against either of those successfully unless we

656
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 8: go after the underlying criminal nexus there, and whether it's

657
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 8: human trafficking, whether it's terrorism, whether it's opioids, and whether

658
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 8: it's just outright gang violence. The intersection there is narco trafficking.

659
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 8: It is the underlying underbelly, the evil, illegal underbelly of

660
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 8: all those operations that we have not prioritized. In my opinion,

661
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 8: as a law enforcement agency, the collective power we can

662
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 8: rain down on criminal narco trafficking networks.

663
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: And ideally, if.

664
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 8: I'm confirmed centated, I would like to work with Attorney

665
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 8: General Pambondi, if she confirmed, to set up Regional Drug

666
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 8: Interdiction Task Force where our local sheriff's offices, our local pds,

667
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 8: and our local precincts are folded in with the FBI

668
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 8: on an information and authority sharing basis to take down

669
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 8: the criminal networks. And the advice and consent process has

670
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 8: been extremely informative. This to me, I do not know

671
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 8: your jurisdictions as well as you all ever will. That's

672
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 8: what makes this so critically important educational. I did not

673
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 8: know that Memphis was the homicide capital of America per capita.

674
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 8: I did not know that there was a corridor in

675
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 8: Ohio that speaks to the human trafficking volume more so

676
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 8: than any intersection in the country.

677
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: That is what I will rely on your expertise.

678
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 8: Across the aisle to fold in those resources and target

679
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 8: those criminal active hotbeds. And I believe if we are

680
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 8: successful and actually crippling the narco trafficking networks, we will

681
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 8: see a decrease monumental in violent crime and at the

682
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 8: same time protecting America's national security.

683
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 20: And maybe, just maybe, where you have a third of

684
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 20: the personnel for the FBI here in Washington, d C.

685
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 20: Maybe just maybe, one of the reforms is to get

686
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 20: more of those folks out into those areas across the

687
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 20: country to go do that, right, that's what you're talking about.

688
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 21: I think so, sir, Thank you, thank you, Miss Chairman.

689
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 5: Mister Patel, do you know any of these five individuals?

690
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 5: Erica Knight, you.

691
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 4: Are still here watching human events. Don't worry, we will

692
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 4: go back to the hearing. But we are joined for

693
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 4: a special interview that I wanted to bring you, guys

694
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: with none other.

695
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how many times we get to have chefs.

696
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 4: Here joining us on Real America's Voice, but Chef Andrew Grohl,

697
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've seen not just his wonderful food, but

698
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 4: his great.

699
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: Posts all over X.

700
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 4: I feel like you're go viral all the time. I'm

701
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 4: honored to have you joining us. I know you wanted

702
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 4: to talk about the RFK confirmation hearings the Maha movement

703
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 4: more broadly. I think you have an interesting perspective being

704
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 4: a chef working so intimately with food. Obviously, the food supply,

705
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 4: I think is one of the actors that the Maha

706
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 4: movement is kind of most I would say on offense

707
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 4: about whether it's the depleted minerals in the soil or

708
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 4: just the weird, woke dietary guidelines and regulations that they're

709
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: trying to push on us.

710
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 3: I'm curious if you just want to kind of give.

711
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: The audience your perspective, your vantage point from the confirmation

712
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 4: hearings that we've heard with respect to RFK Junior.

713
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 22: Well, first and foremost, I'm absolutely shocked that there is

714
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 22: so much pushback when it comes to RFK because I've

715
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 22: been in this space now of kind of food systems

716
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 22: and sustainability and obviously running restaurants for ten fifteen years,

717
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 22: and it was ten or fifteen years ago when I

718
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 22: started really talking about local food systems that the only

719
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 22: support I actually got, funny enough, was from some of

720
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 22: these kind of left leaning hippies who are all about it,

721
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 22: and now those same people are out there to crine

722
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 22: OURFK Junior as a conspiracy theorist, so it's all just

723
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 22: political talking points. This is the most bipartisan confirmation I

724
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 22: think I've seen in at least a decade, and yet

725
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 22: for some reason it's controversial. All he's asking for is

726
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 22: that we actually break up the consolidated food manufacturers who

727
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 22: are running our entire food system quite literally, also on

728
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 22: the restaurant side of things, and allow a lot of

729
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 22: these small and local farmers to access the supply chain

730
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 22: and to get people to understand why it's important to

731
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 22: eat healthier food, get a lot of these chemicals, which

732
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 22: quite frankly are more medicine like than they are food like,

733
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 22: out of our food system. And that doesn't necessarily mean

734
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 22: by you know, unilateral decree or banning, but just the

735
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 22: mere education will decrease the demand.

736
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 21: I see it on the restaurant side, because all.

737
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 22: We are forced through is all that's forced on us

738
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 22: are all of these processed, chemically laid in foods in

739
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 22: the form of rebates and subsidies that restaurant tours get

740
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 22: up front, and then they have to buy through one

741
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 22: of the three big distributors, and I've been fighting against

742
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 22: that for years, which is why it's been, you know,

743
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 22: somewhat of a grassroots movement on the chef side of things.

744
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 22: And of course all of these other chefs are now

745
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 22: quiet about RFK because all of the propaganda has hit

746
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 22: the airwaves. But he's just trying to get people good,

747
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 22: healthy food and allow us as chefs and foodies to

748
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 22: access that in a much easier manner. I'm also a

749
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 22: father of four. I've got four kids, so this vaccine

750
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 22: issue was also really important to me. We've moved our

751
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 22: kids out of the public school system because we weren't

752
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 22: going to subject them to the crazy litany of vaccines

753
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 22: that are out there. I've already got one child who

754
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 22: did have a vaccine injury, and we know exactly what

755
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 22: it's like. But for us to just say, hey, maybe

756
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 22: we should look at this, and to have people call

757
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 22: me a conspiracy theorist for asking questions is absurdity at

758
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 22: its peak. It's the apex of absurdity. So I'm really

759
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 22: vested in this, obviously, but it's pretty simple, and if

760
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 22: you think about it, it's very very bipartisan. But it's

761
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 22: just another example of the way in which the propaganda machine,

762
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 22: in conjunction with big government and of course big media

763
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 22: comes together to try and brandwash Americans.

764
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 4: Well, there's such an interesting bifurcation I think between food,

765
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 4: food and medicine, where despite all these Democrat senators who

766
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 4: look like they could use a walk or a workout

767
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 4: lecturing us about how they really really care about health,

768
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: they just don't like how RFK is going about it.

769
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 4: But I think you hit the nail on the head

770
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 4: how food and food systems and food supply chains are

771
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 4: such a critical part of all of this. I'm curious

772
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 4: from your sort of insider experience, you know, I think

773
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 4: most restaurant tours, chefs, and they're in some capacity, are

774
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 4: involved in whether it's the trade or industry associations that

775
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 4: obviously don't represent consumers, don't represent families, don't represent the

776
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 4: average American citizen. What do you think the pressure is

777
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 4: right now on a lot of these senators to vote

778
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 4: against him? What just sort of that whipping of votes,

779
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 4: the pressure campaigns coming from big Farmer or people like

780
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: Mike Pence who are getting a bunch of money to

781
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 4: hill against RFK.

782
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: In your sort of experience, what do you think that

783
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 3: is looking like behind.

784
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 21: The scenes, Well, that's what I keep talking about. It's

785
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 21: all about special interest money, right.

786
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 22: So we see it on the restaurant side of things

787
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 22: because all these massive food manufacturers, they pump so much

788
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 22: much money into the supply chain through the massive distributors

789
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 22: and then ultimately to the chefs to say, look, if

790
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 22: you commit to buying this product and here's all the

791
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 22: fake health benefits of it, we're gonna give you fifty

792
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 22: thousand dollars up front in the form of a rebate,

793
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 22: which is really just them giving you the money, and

794
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 22: then you pay double the amount back over a certain

795
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 22: period of time. And they know that restaurant tours are

796
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 22: strapped with cash because it's the most margin type industry,

797
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 22: so they use that money to manipulate the chefs to

798
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 22: try and control the consumer base, to manage what they

799
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 22: consider to be trends. And what I think is hilarious

800
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 22: is that, let's use seat oils as an example. Over

801
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 22: the past three to four years, suddenly talking about seed

802
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 22: oils is conspiratorial, right, It's a right wing conspiracy to

803
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 22: say that you don't want seed oils, and you actually

804
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 22: now have left wing influencers who know nothing about health

805
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 22: going out there and saying, oh, yeah, I'm gonna chug

806
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 22: my canola oil or I'm gonna you know, there's nothing

807
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 22: wrong with coke, and now they're fitness experts.

808
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 21: That's what I love about this.

809
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 22: I've been doing this my whole life, and now you

810
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 22: know every twinkie on the left is a fitness expert.

811
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 22: It's like, first of all, well, you know, you got

812
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 22: your barrel chested freak and you have absolutely no idea

813
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 22: what you're talking about, but you're just being paid from

814
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 22: an influencer side of things. Now, extrapolate that across a

815
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 22: massive industry restaurants in food service, and you've got chefs

816
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 22: and general managers and restaurant owners who are taking that

817
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 22: same money. And they're saying, yeah, we're gonna use souybinoa,

818
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 22: We're only gonna use canola oil, and why would I

819
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 22: use butter or why would I use healthy fats. That's

820
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 22: a bad thing. And then their customers hear that and

821
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 22: they say, you know, the local restaurant that chef and

822
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 22: restaurant owners said it was a bad thing, and therefore

823
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 22: he's an expert. Now you can take what they're doing

824
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 22: in food service. Now apply that to medicine, right, and

825
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 22: doctors are the chefs or you know, nurses, they're the

826
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 22: chefs in this world and everybody looks to them as

827
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 22: the experts.

828
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 21: So it's all about that money coming down right, hitting

829
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 21: the people who need it.

830
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 22: Politicians, you know, the lobbyists know what buttons to push,

831
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 22: and then chef's restaurant tours, and you can extrapolate this

832
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 22: also into fitness and so many other industries. And then

833
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 22: that money talks and it goes right back up to

834
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 22: the top, and then it comes back out and where

835
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 22: you see it being distilled on the distribution into kids

836
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 22: school foods, right, subsidies, and what they're being fed is

837
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 22: disgusting and that's why kids are sick. And then when

838
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 22: you see snap benefits, you see people getting food stamps

839
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 22: and all they're getting is bags of Doritos and coke

840
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:15,959
Speaker 22: and all of this bad food.

841
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 21: And I'm not saying we should ban any of that.

842
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 21: Don't get me wrong.

843
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 22: I love a diet coke from time to time, and

844
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 22: I'll crush them doritos. But if you're using taxpayer dollars

845
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 22: right to support these big food manufacturers only to make

846
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 22: people and especially kids sick. Well, that's a broken system.

847
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 22: I would much rather if those dollars are going to

848
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 22: be spent, I'd much rather see them spent the support

849
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 22: small farmers, independent farmers who are producing good meat, regenerative agriculture,

850
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 22: things that are actually perpetuating a much healthier ecosystem and

851
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 22: encouraging the biodiversity of our ecosystem as opposed to ripping

852
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 22: it apart with GMOs, just monocropping and subsidies that ruin

853
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 22: our soil.

854
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: It's the new, I guess twenty twenty five version of

855
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 4: Bread and Circuses, except the circuses are a lot more

856
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 4: and who knows what's in.

857
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 3: The bread that they're trying to feed us.

858
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 4: Chef Andrew Grull, I think you're the first chef I've interviewed,

859
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 4: hopefully not the last time.

860
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 13: I know.

861
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 4: You've got a wonderful book about making food, being in

862
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 4: the kitchen something that you can do with your wonderful family.

863
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 4: Give us a little thirty second plug on that and

864
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 4: how people can stay up to date with everything you're

865
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 4: working on.

866
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 22: Yeah, this is our family cookbook. So this is about

867
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 22: getting people in the kitchen. It's real simple, it's approachable,

868
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 22: it's easy, no seed oils, because in the kitchen that's

869
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 22: where people come together. We've lost community and we've lost

870
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 22: kind of our moral north star as well. And I

871
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 22: say that happens when family sits around the table. Food

872
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 22: is the great unifier. You can get our cookbook at

873
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 22: andrewcookbook dot com. It's really simple. It's a partnership with

874
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 22: Brave Books, which is a wonderful company publishing company as well,

875
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 22: with good morals and good values. And that's what this

876
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 22: cookbook is all about. Let's just get into the kitchen,

877
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 22: knock down some of those barriers, and even just cooking

878
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 22: more one more time a week with your family will

879
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 22: make a huge difference in everybody's life.

880
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: Andrew, thank you so much for joining us.

881
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 4: We'll have you about gone soon, hopefully to celebrate the

882
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 4: confirmation of none other than RFK Junior.

883
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 3: And I want to pivot to another.

884
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 4: I guess angle of attack that people who certainly are

885
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 4: opposing RFK Junior love to go and try to destroy

886
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 4: this country with. Usually when you're talking about what chance

887
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 4: like death to America, you have to look overseas, but

888
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 4: I guess in this case you don't really have to

889
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 4: look that far.

890
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm coming at you live from Washington, d C.

891
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 4: So I guess I probably could just walk outside five

892
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 4: feet and find some crazy, deranged, although now defunded, left

893
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 4: wing NGO type group that wants to come and destroy

894
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 4: this country subvert President Trump's strong borders agenda. Also, they

895
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 4: can up roll out George Soros and the World Economic

896
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 4: Forum's master plan for open borders.

897
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 3: To that point, we're going to get into.

898
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 4: How George Soros is actively helping criminal migrants avoid deportation.

899
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 4: But before we get there, I want to walk you

900
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 4: through with the American Civil Liberties Union, which you would

901
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 4: think from the name, cares about you Americans or your

902
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: civil liberties. But apparently the only thing they care about

903
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 4: is ensuring the rights of criminal legal aliens to avoid

904
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 4: deportation and stay in this country and kill you and

905
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 4: your family, your children and your grandchildren. They put out

906
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 4: a long memo their new strategy called the Firewall for Freedom.

907
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: Apparently that's a wall that they can get behind. And

908
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 4: I want to read a quote from you now, I

909
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 4: don't know about you. Sounds a little bit like election

910
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 4: denialism to me. The results of the twenty twenty four

911
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 4: election are clearer. State governments must step forward to become

912
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 4: the frontline for freedom and defend their residence against the

913
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 4: Trump administration's promised.

914
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 3: Assaults on our rights.

915
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 4: No, the twenty twenty four election was actually a clear

916
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 4: and historic mandate for President Donald J. Trump in favor

917
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 4: of strong and secure borders. Sorry, ACLU, you lost this one, oh,

918
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 4: and you lost twenty twenty two. But they continue because

919
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 4: they say in this memo, which we can flash on

920
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 4: screen and to show you just how well and how

921
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 4: elaborate these schemes are plotted out, that one of the

922
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 4: things that they're now actively lobbying stayed in local officials

923
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 4: to engage in is quote opting out of Trump's deportation

924
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 4: machine by quote minimizing local entanglements with abusive and discriminatory

925
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 4: immigration enforcement programs by refusing to contract with ICE officials

926
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 4: to provide detention space necessary to Trump's deportation machine and

927
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 4: ensuring local police do not provide any support to ICE

928
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 4: for its raids and other arrests. And yes, you didn't

929
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 4: pick up on that Bury lead. That means absolutely no collaboration.

930
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 4: If you're a pedophile, a sex trafficker, a rapist, or murderer,

931
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 4: The American Civil Liberties Union does not want any police

932
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 4: force on the ground to collaborate or to work with ICE.

933
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 3: That's how radical these people are.

934
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 4: But it gets worse because their only focus is to

935
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 4: quote protect people vulnerable to deportation.

936
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 3: By get this.

937
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 4: Apparently the preemptive part in for Anthony Fauci and all

938
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 4: those hacks wasn't enough. Now they want to quote issue

939
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 4: pardons to immigrants for state criminal convictions that make them deportable,

940
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 4: as well as passing legislation to allow people to obtain

941
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 4: a driver's license without regard to citizenship. And just for

942
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 4: good measure, they also want to quote limit cooperation between

943
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 4: local and federal law enforcement, such as Joint Terrorism task Forces.

944
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 4: They don't want to collaborate or cooperate with ICE or

945
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 4: police authorities and officials to nab actual terrorists in your

946
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 4: neighborhoods and communities in the name of open borders and

947
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 4: in the name of opposing President Donald J.

948
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 3: Trump.

949
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 4: That's the evil and depravity that you're up against with

950
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 4: the innocuously named American Civil Liberties Union. And just to

951
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 4: make it even better, the ac and this is some

952
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 4: breaking news, but the ACLU is suing, of course in

953
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 4: concert with a bunch of voting rights groups try to

954
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 4: make that make sense to block these deportations in addition

955
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 4: to going against President Trump's efforts to basically rescind or

956
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 4: reverse the fourteenth Amendment. And they're suing on behalf of

957
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 4: a group called Make the Road New York. Now here's

958
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 4: what's so interesting about Make the Road New York. Like

959
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 4: I said, the far left activist group that is on

960
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 4: the front lines of making sure that the ACLU's wet

961
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 4: dream of you and your family being killed by illegal

962
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 4: aliens can.

963
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 3: Happen in Donald J. Trum's America.

964
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 4: And this group that's now with the legal frontlines of

965
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 4: ensuring that that nightmarish hell becomes a reality. Will guess

966
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 4: how much money they received in terms of government grants

967
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 4: and contributions and their most recent tax filing for my guess,

968
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 4: fiscal year twenty twenty three sixteen million, one hundred and

969
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 4: twenty four thousand, five hundred and eighty two dollars on

970
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 4: top of the tens of millions of government grants that

971
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 4: they've already received. So, in other words, the Biden regime,

972
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 4: in addition to all the years proceeding, has been pumping

973
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 4: full these far left lawfare groups in order to carry

974
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 4: out legal assaults against the Trump administration to ensure that

975
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: our border remains open and that criminal illegal aliens can't

976
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 4: be deported. And while we're at it, George Soros one

977
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 4: of the radio stations that he recently acquired thanks to

978
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, a network called Odyssey, while they were actually

979
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 4: busy doxing ICE agents in the cars that they were

980
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 4: operating out of conducting these mass.

981
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 3: Deportation raids just a few days ago.

982
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 4: If we can roll this radio soot, this is again

983
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 4: played on a George Soros radio station talking about trying

984
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 4: to help criminal illegal aliens avoid deportation.

985
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 23: Let's roll it the chances in just a moment for so,

986
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 23: I'm Brett Burkharden. Here's what's happening. San Jose Mayor Matt

987
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 23: Mayhon Head council member Peter Ortiz confirmed today that US

988
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 23: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are currently carrying out an

989
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 23: operation on the east side of town. The Santa Clara

990
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 23: County Rapid Response Network, which is a community defence projecting

991
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 23: system for immigrant communities against deportation threats. It first reported

992
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 23: the activity on its platforms in a statement at KCBS Radio.

993
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 23: Mayor Mayhon says the city's police department does not assist

994
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 23: with or participate in these operations in any way. The

995
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 23: Country's Counties Response Networks says agents in San Jose were

996
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 23: in unmarked vehicles, including a black Dodge Durango, a gray

997
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 23: Niece On Maxima, and white nis On truck. Ice agents

998
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 23: were also reported outside a residence on South White and

999
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 23: Toty Roads, and officers were reportedly at the target on

1000
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 23: King and Story Roads. Stay with KCBS, we'll be tracking

1001
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 23: it for you.

1002
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 4: I think we just listened to a minute of treason,

1003
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 4: because that's exactly what you just witnessed. Again, that's a

1004
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 4: George Soro's owned and operated radio station. You heard down

1005
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 4: to the make and model of the frickin' car that

1006
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 4: they were using to deport criminal illegal aliens. They were

1007
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 4: dosing on airwaves. First and foremost, I think President Trump

1008
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 4: should go and rescind any and all active let alone.

1009
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 4: I guess maybe can you retroactively rip some of those

1010
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 4: federal grants away from groups who are behind these lawsuits

1011
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 4: this advocacy to make sure that President Trump's immigration agenda

1012
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 4: cannot be rolled out.

1013
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 3: The ACLU is busy.

1014
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 4: Filing FOYA after FOYA after FOYA request so they can

1015
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 4: what leak to the media like they did I'm sure

1016
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 4: to the Wall Street Journal ahead of these mass deportation

1017
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 4: raids like the one in Chicago, so President Trump can

1018
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 4: be kneecapped, they can get ahead of him. It really

1019
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 4: is sick and depraved. I mean truly, I'm really at

1020
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 4: a loss for words when I broadcast. But the American

1021
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 4: Civil Liberties Union, let that sink in, is working overtime

1022
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 4: to ensure that convicted criminals will get pardons from people

1023
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 4: who you supposedly elected at the state level, because I

1024
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 4: guess the effort to get Joe Biden to do on

1025
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 4: the federal level didn't work for those criminals, only certain

1026
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 4: criminals like Anthony Fauci. They're working overtime to ensure that

1027
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 4: those people will not be deported. And by the way,

1028
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 4: just to round it all out, I don't think we

1029
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 4: have time to play it, but the ACLU, in true

1030
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 4: propaganda form, has also launched an actual smear campaign, a

1031
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 4: propaganda campaign called Letters to America where they're showing a

1032
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 4: bunch of ooh, poor me, crimey river videos of so

1033
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 4: called illegal aliens who came to the United States for.

1034
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 3: What a better life?

1035
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 4: Well, what about the American citizens who want a better

1036
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 4: life and are sick and tired of being used and

1037
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 4: exploited and laughed at and mocked and ridiculed like you're

1038
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 4: seeing going on at the hearings today. The regime that

1039
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 4: weaponized against you and put Stephen kpe Bannon in jail

1040
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 4: and Peter Navarro in jail now wants to sit there

1041
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 4: and gaslight you and tell you that if you think

1042
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 4: Cash Pattel being the answer to all of the disgusting

1043
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 4: degeneracy and weaponization that has gone on at the FBI,

1044
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 4: that you're actually the crazy one, or that someone like

1045
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 4: Tulci Gabbard, who's served honorably in the Army Reserves, that

1046
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 4: I guess she was good enough to die for the

1047
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 4: United States of America, but now that she wants to

1048
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 4: tell the IC that there are a bunch of lying

1049
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 4: hacks who've only ever used their security clearances to screw

1050
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 4: this country over.

1051
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 3: Now apparently she's not good enough.

1052
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 4: And that's what they've said to the tens of thousands

1053
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 4: of young American men and women who've died, shedding blood

1054
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 4: for this country for a globalist regime that truly hates them.

1055
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 4: Was an honor to have filled in for none other

Speaker 3: Have a good one.

1064
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 10: How did we get here? And where are we going?

1065
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 11: History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms and

1066
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 11: didn't notice.

1067
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 10: It while it was happening. Let's not be one of them.

1068
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 24: They're times up. Before Senator tell Us ends this, I

1069
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 24: want to put in the record letter from the parents

1070
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 24: of Kayla Muller. Kayla Muller, mister Pottel met them through

1071
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 24: his role in the successful operation to track and kill

1072
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 24: ISIS leader Alberti. The terrorists that I'm quoting, the terrorist

1073
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 24: group ISIS, kidnapped our daughter Kayla on August twenty thirteen.

1074
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 24: Any family who has lived through such an experience will

1075
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 24: know the value you have dedicated, compassionate law enforcement officials

1076
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 24: because we have personal experience of his dedication. We know

1077
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 24: the cash, but
