WEBVTT - Trade Wars - March 5th, Hour 3 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.120 Stay right here for our final news round up and 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:05.680 information overload. 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:08.840 All right, News round up and information overload. Our toll free. 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.080 Our number is eight hundred and nine to four one 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.840 sean if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:14.280 Now. 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:17.279 One of the things that if you listen to the 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.400 punditry class and you know, the state run legacy media 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.360 mob that very few fewer and fewer people are watching 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.240 and listening to, they will tay, Oh, tariffs are attacks 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.680 on people. No, they're not Donald Trump. And I can't 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.800 believe he's been on you know, the world stage all 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.760 this time and they don't understand. And Donald Trump says 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.000 tariff he means negotiate, And that means for China, I'm sorry. 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.320 That means for Mexico and Canada, it means a few 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.000 simple things. Number one, they secure their border. Number one, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.400 they do more to prevent the influx of fentanyl into 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.040 our country. Number Three, they practice free and fair trade, 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:59.360 or they will be victims of reciprocal trade. If you 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.640 want free and trade, we're going to be your partner. 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.959 We'll give you the same consideration. If you put tariffs 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.080 on us, then we're putting tariffs on you. We're not 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.760 going to be a sucker nation anymore. That's what he said. 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:12.880 All right, let me let me play this. This is 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.920 from last night, Donald Trump announcing reciprocal tariffs. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:22.520 April second, reciprocal tariffs kick in, and whatever they tariff 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.440 us other countries, we will tariff them. 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:31.280 That's reciprocal back and forth. Whatever they tax us, we 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:36.120 will tax them. If they do non monetary tariffs. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.920 To keep us out of their market, then we will 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:45.280 do non monetary barriers to keep them out of our market. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.800 There's a lot of that too. They don't even allow 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:48.720 us in their market. 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.800 We will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.640 create jobs like we have never seen before anyway. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.400 Joining us now is Peter Navarro, who himself is anymous 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.760 author and best selling author, Senior Counselor for Trade and 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:09.280 Manufacturing for US President Donald Trump. And Peter also a 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:13.720 victim of weaponization. What they did to him was unconscidable 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.160 and it has to stop. We must return. We must 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.720 return to the old order, return the FBI to once 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.000 again become what it is no longer, and that is 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.239 the world's premier law enforcement agency. We've got to take 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.440 the politics out of the FBI and the DOJ and 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.800 the weaponization of the DOJ in our intelligence community. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.280 Peter and NEvAr are great to have you back. How 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:39.960 are you my friend? 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.600 You know, brother Shawn, he always had my back during 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.840 my travails. They're unjustly put in jail for defending the constitution. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.280 I want to tell you that my worst day in 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.320 prison was July thirteenth, to day I saw President Trump 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:04.600 shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. And what's interesting so interesting to 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.920 me watching last night and as well as during the 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:13.519 campaign trail as he went towards his landslide, the man 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.120 is in a state of grace Sean. He is untethered 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:24.919 from political political contributions or anything like that. He's doing 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.959 what is right for the American people. And my favorite 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.959 moment last night, I call it the Hound of the 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:37.120 Baskervilles moments. It's the dogs that didn't bark in the 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.160 famous Sherlock Holmes mystery novel. Last night, it was the 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.520 Democrats who didn't applaud and sat on their hands in 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:51.440 the moment that Donald Trump last night began his soliloquy 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.480 on how they sit on their hands. Regardless of whether 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.000 he cures cancer or walks on water or later on 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:06.680 as we saw honors widows who have lost husbands or 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.760 children who've had cancer. And I think that moment will 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.760 be historical because from now on going forward, every time 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.479 the American people watch a State of the Union or 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800 a joint address like they did last night, and they 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:29.360 see one party just behaving that way, that will reject 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.640 that party because that's not what the American people want. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:37.240 Seventy five percent people loved that speech last night and 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.800 everything was said, so that was a great moment. I'm 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.360 glad President Trump put it in there, and it was 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:45.679 very important. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.080 Sean, Before we get to the issue of reciprocal trade, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.000 I want to go back for a second, because you 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.440 easily could have prevented yourself from going to jail. All 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.440 you had to do is go in and plead the 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:06.440 fifth You believed this there was a deep constitutional principle 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.360 in play, and you made a decision that you knew 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.760 the risk, but you did it anyway, and you stood 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.159 on your principles. And as a result for you not 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.520 willing to testify before I believe the January sixth Committee 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.360 that you were willing to go to jail for your principles. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.839 And your beliefs, and you had the easiest out in 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.760 the world. And I watched closely as you did this, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.800 and I watched you refer every time you had a 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.200 camera in front of you, a microphone in front of you, 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.480 and we played it often that you would say, this 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:49.760 is about the Constitution. And I guess the question is 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.680 why was it that important to you? Because not many 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.760 people would make that choice. If you have to, if 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.320 most people are given the choice risk of jail or 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.040 you just go ahead and say, I plead the fifth. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.880 I believe the fifth, I plead that have walk out, 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.279 and you have absolutely no vulnerability at all. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.520 You chose, You chose the hard way. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.080 Why, John, It wasn't about me. It was about the 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:18.080 constitutional separation of powers. It was about whether Congress has 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:23.279 the authority under the Constitution to subpoena senior White House 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.120 officials or the President, and of course they don't. Going 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.640 back to the days of George Washington, in more than 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.880 fifty years of Department of Justice policy on absolute testimonialy 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.679 of immunity and the reason why the Supreme Court chunks 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:44.599 has been so adamant about supporting executive privilege. Again, going 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.320 back to Washington, is that it is recognized that unless 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:55.280 there is candor and confidentiality in presidential communications with inside 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.440 the White House, the best decision simply will not be made. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.279 And so so what I did was for the good 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.760 of the country. What I did was for the protection 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:11.240 of every senior White House advisor and president going forward. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.680 And it's important to note, Sean, and my case is 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.600 on appeal, even though I could have walked away from 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.360 it after I did my jail time, but I'm willing 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.040 to spend the time and the money to have the 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.480 Supreme Court do what was called settle good law on this. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.680 And if I lose this case on appeal up to 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.600 the Supreme Court, every single one of my colleagues in 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.679 this White House will be subject to go into jail 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.720 if Congress the pen is them and they don't go 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.880 as they should not go. And every future White House 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.960 Democrat or Republican will face the same thing, and the 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.920 American people be worse off. So that's why I took that. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.160 Well, let me tell you why the American people will 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.240 be worse off. Not for your sake, but for our 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:02.480 audience's sake. The president needs to get the honest advice 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:08.240 from advisors, and if advisors are worried that what they 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.720 say may come back one day in some type of 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.840 court proceeding and they might have some type of legal 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:19.520 liability that might inhibit them from giving their best counsel 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.920 and advice to a president. There needs to be a 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.600 protection for national security purposes. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:26.360 It does there not. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.120 You have said it more eloquent than I, Sean, and 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.400 you're exactly right, And that was the issue, and so 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.800 I stood up for that. I don't regret it for 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.560 a minute. What I hope is that the Supreme Court 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.600 will take up this issue and make the finding that 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.319 senior White House officials have absolute testimonial immun idiots. Department 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.240 of Justice had opim for more than fifty years, that 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:59.920 the president privilege invocation of privilege is what we call presumptive, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.880 and that the judge of my case and that district court, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.640 I'm telling you, Sean, in DC, that is a cesspool. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.480 That that that justice in my judge of my case 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:15.120 went way over his keys and trying to tell the 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.440 President that he hadn't properly invoked when we gave him 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.840 a mountain of evidence. And so as the Boss says, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.199 let's see what happened, Sean. But if I do lose 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.040 this case, this country will lose something very important to 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.960 the decision making process. So I'll keep you I'll keep 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.200 you post. On the meantime, I'm back in my old 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.240 office in the White House, trying to do the work 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.440 I can on behalf of President Trump, on behalf of 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:46.440 the American people. And it's so different, Sean, this time around, 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.560 just so different. The first time we were low on 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.400 the learning curves, there were a lot of people inside 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:57.000 the perimeter who frankly didn't support the president's agenda. This time, 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:03.680 it's the most successful first forty three days in American history. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.120 And there's no sign that this pace is going to stop. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.440 And we're going to have a strong economy. We're going 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.240 to break the back of inflation with things like deregulation, 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.720 doge and drill baby till I don't even know this, Sean. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.439 The price of oil has already gone down by about 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:27.120 fifteen percent, and we're about halfway to that fifty dollars 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.920 barrel oil mark, which would really change everything. That would 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.400 that would a loan shave off more than a percentage 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:39.679 point from the rate of inflation. And of course president, 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:45.360 which is my wheelhouse, is restructuring this global trade environment 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:51.120 with reciprocal tariffs so that other countries of the world 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.480 don't cheat us. And if I could, I'll give you 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.800 an example for your listeners that that really says it all. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:02.439 Because you mentioned John, you me both tariffs and non 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.319 tariff barriers, non monetary barriers. So just take the case 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:12.120 of Germany. Germany our ally they always say, well, how 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.840 can you attack our allies? Well, Germany is an ally. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.640 They have an auto tariff that's four times higher than ours, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.640 ten percent versus two and a half. They also have 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.040 a VAT tax at nineteen percent, which acts as an 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.959 additional terriff, so the tariff in Germany's almost thirty percent. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:34.240 And then that vattax also acts as an exports subsidy. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.160 So if you take the example of a Cadillac versus 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:44.320 a BMW sold as exports, you start off with the BMW, right, 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:49.240 it comes from Bavaria, gets over here to Baltimore, and 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.240 it goes into the market, a fifty thousand car, a 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.520 dollar car. The first thing they get is a VAT 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.840 tax rebate of almost ten grand. We add back that 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.520 small tariff they're selling that the American people for a 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.600 little you know, in the low forty thousands, fifty thousand 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.840 dollars ourselves in the low forties, we send a Cadillac 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.280 over there, Sean. The first thing they do is they 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.240 hit us with a ten percent terraff and then the 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.120 next thing they do is they make us pay the 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.280 that and before you know it, that's things fifty five 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.600 thousand dollars versus for a Cadillac in Germany versus forty 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:31.480 two or three thousand in America. And then on top 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.040 of that, one of the non monetary barriers, they make 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.840 us change everything for the lighting, the brakes and this, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.200 and the crash and all that stuff adds another two 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.600 thousand dollars. That's that's a non tear barrier. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.160 Yeah, so nobody's gonna buy the American car. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.760 Bottom line, tell eight cars, Sean, eight German cars for 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.080 everyone we sell. Now, what does that do? That's the 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.240 factories in Bavaria rather than Detroit. The government gets more 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.160 tax revenue. And by the way, maybe maybe maybe if 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.600 they paid that money in the NATO like they should, 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.840 that might be some kind of excuse. But they don't 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.840 even do that, Sean. So that's that's what the President's 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.600 trying to do. And I can go country after countries, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:17.360 South Korea, I can go, Japan, I can go, of course, China, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.160 I can go, Mexico, I can go Canada. All the 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:25.160 countries that yield a trillion dollar trade deficit every year going, 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.839 they're ripping us off. Do you know how much a 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.280 trillion dollars of America they can buy with that trade 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.680 deficit every year? We're losing our country. So the President says, 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.560 no moss to Mexico and no more to the rest 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.760 of the world. And he is going to fundamentally take 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.960 us back to the days of McKinley and Hamilton and Jefferson, 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:53.120 when we were a manufacturing country that relied on external 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.320 revenue teriffs. And that's why he's going to do the 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:01.400 external revenue service to supplement the internal revenue service. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.240 Well, I just want to say it makes awful sense. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.520 And it's sad when you hear that Allied countries, European 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:14.880 Union countries, Germany, Canada, Mexico, countries like India, they have 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.640 all these taxes on us. And you know, we we 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.720 we are just asking for fundamental fairness. I believe in 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.000 free and fair trade. The President now is insisting on it, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.400 so we don't get taken advantage of. But I will 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.800 tell you something. Here's somebody that I am. I'm very 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:31.720 very happy for. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:32.480 You know. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.000 When I went to the White House and I saw 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.480 a lot of old friends, it was great. But knowing 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.240 that you're back there after all that they put you 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.800 through because of the weaponization of justice in this country 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.320 and the fact that you did it freely based on 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.520 principle and your belief in our constitution makes it even 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.120 more impressive to me. I think the world of you. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.120 Peter in Navarro, thank you so much as always for 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.080 being with us. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.600 That means so much to me. Sean, I so much 0:14:58.640 --> 0:14:59.200 appreciate it. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.640 You take care of your off sir, God bless you. 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:02.120 Thank you. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.840 I want to go through We've talked at length about it. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:12.120 I want to go through the moments where I claim 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:17.480 Democrats are completely soulless. I understand they hate Trump. I 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:22.000 understand their age. I understand they've been defeated. I understand 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:27.760 that they have no shape. I understand that they have 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.520 no vision for the future of the country. I know 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:35.400 they feel helpless. I know that they are leaderless. I 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:41.800 understand all of that, but nothing excuses the fact at 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:47.000 certain moments last night they sat on their hands. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520 And if you can't stand. 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:55.800 In this case for Joscelyn Nungary's mother who lost her 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.920 little twelve year old daughter, you know, if and the 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.520 President addresses that nothing I can do, I'll play that first, 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.360 nothing I could do make you smile? In his address, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.000 and you notice he spent most of his time looking 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.840 at the Republicans. And then of course the al Green fiasco. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:12.400 I mean, what. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.200 You know, these theatrical stunts that they play is not 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:23.920 a governing philosophy. But what they did to Joscelyn Nungary's mom, 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.680 they wouldn't acknowledge. I saw Lake and Riley's mom and 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.120 I started a tear up for crying out loud. I saw, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.720 you know, fighting back tears. They didn't stand for her. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.920 Donald Trump acknowledges the young wife. She looked like such 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:42.000 a young girl. It's so sad. And a little little 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.720 child's involved in that case of slain police officer from 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.080 Long Island, Jonathan Dillar. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:48.600 They didn't stand for that. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.280 When the President acknowledges the family of Corey Comparatoor, they 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.880 didn't stand when he informed this high school senior, Jason Hartley, 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.920 who had lost his father. That is application of West 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.399 Point was accepted. They didn't stand. Let me start with 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.760 the president acknowledging that they won't stand. They won't applaud 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.160 if he cures cancer. They're not going to do a thing. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.880 And then play these moments and ask yourself what kind 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.840 of person I mean would not stand in a moment 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.480 like this, Because if there is a mother, well, first 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.000 of all, IM going to stand for the president. I'm 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.280 going to stand for the first lady. Let's start with 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.720 the basics. You know, Barack Obama. I was actually out 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.199 one of Barack Obama's State of the Union addresses. I 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.800 was there and I stood up when he came into 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.520 the room, into the chamber, and I applauded. It's the 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:47.560 office of the presidency. I would have stood for Joe Biden. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:49.919 It would have been hard, but I would have done it. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.240 But it's the right thing to do. It's really that simple. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.200 Any mother that lost the child, oh, I'm standing. Any 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.680 thirteen year old kid that overcomes cancer will include that too. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.640 I'm standing any young man that lost his father's going 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.760 to West Point. I'm standing any mother any wife that 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.400 loses her husband, and in law enforcement, I'm standing. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.199 It's just basic humanity. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.120 And you wonder why I've been saying all day they 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:22.000 have no shame and they are a soulless party. What 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.880 they did last night was beyond disgraceful. Let me play 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:26.480 this all for you. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.640 This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.960 again I look at the Democrats in front of me, 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.960 and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.639 to make them happy, or to make them stand or 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.080 smile or applaud. 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.600 Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:46.520 the most. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:52.000 Devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations, 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.240 or announce the answers to the greatest economy and history, 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.720 or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels recorded. 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.720 And these people sitting right here will not clap, will 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.879 not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.199 They won't do it no matter what. Five five times 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:19.480 I've been up here. It's very sad and it just shouldn't. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:19.800 Be this way. 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.480 The death of this beautiful twelve year old girl, in 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.359 the agony of her mother and family touched our entire 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:34.480 nation greatly. Alexis, I promised that we would always remember 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.880 your daughter, your magnificent daughter, and. 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:42.200 Earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word to you. 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.800 One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.320 loved animals so much. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:48.240 She loved nature. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:53.840 Across Galveston Bay from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you 0:19:53.880 --> 0:20:01.080 will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine, peaceful, 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:05.959 thirty four thousand acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:11.920 on the edge of the Gulf of America. Alexis, moments ago, 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:17.359 I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:22.720 beautiful daughter, Jocelyn. So, mister Vice President, if you would, 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:33.000 may I have the order. A brilliant twenty two year 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:38.480 old nursing student named Lacn Riley, the best in her class, 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.159 admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:46.800 campus of the University of Georgia. That morning, Lacn was 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:53.560 viciously attacked, assault had beaten, brutalized, and horrifically murdered. Lacln 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.960 was stolen from us by a savage illegal alien gang 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:03.680 member who was arrested by trespassing across Biden's opened southern 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:07.359 border and then set loose into the United States under 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.800 the heartless policies of that failed administration. 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.040 It was indeed a failed administration. 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.600 He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.919 run sanctuary city, a disaster before ending the life of 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:27.680 this beautiful young angel. With us this evening, our Laken's 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:39.199 beloved mother, Alison and her sister Lauren. Last year, I 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.840 told Lincoln's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.520 would not have died in vain. That's why the very 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:52.440 first bill I signed into law as your forty seventh President, 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:57.200 mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threatened 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:58.480 public safety. 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:07.320 Very strong, power full act. It's called the Lacan Riley Act. 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.480 So Alison and Lauren America will. 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:19.160 Never ever forget our beautiful lacn Hope Riley. One year 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:23.199 ago this month, thirty one year old New York Police 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:30.159 officer Jonathan Diller, unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer. 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.280 Was gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island. 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.480 I went to his funeral. The vicious criminal charge with 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:41.000 his murder had twenty one prior arrests, and they were 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:44.960 rough arrests. He was a real bad one. The thug 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.440 in the seat next to him had fourteen prior arrests 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:50.719 and went by the name of Killer. 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.080 He was killer. He killed other people, they say a 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:53.640 lot of them. 0:22:54.480 --> 0:23:00.199 I attended Officer Diller's service, and when I met his 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:04.120 wife and one year old son, Ryan, it was very inspirational. Actually, 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:07.560 his widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight. 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.720 Stephanie. Thank you very much, Stephanie, thank you. 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.600 Less than ten minutes later, at that same rally, gunfire 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:23.080 rang out and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.840 bullets from his sniper's perch into a crowd of many 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.199 thousands of people. My life was saved by a fraction 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:34.679 of an inch, but some were not so lucky. Corey 0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.360 Comparatore was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian, a husband, 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:43.560 a devoted father, and above all, a protector. 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:47.359 When the sound of gunshots pierced the air was a 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:48.240 horrible sound. 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.600 Corey knew instantly what it was and what to do. 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:56.440 He threw himself on top of his wife and daughters 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.000 and shielded them from the bullets. 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.560 His own body. Corey was hit really hard. 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.200 You know the story from there, he sacrificed his life 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:11.280 to save theirs. Two others, very fine people, were also 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:15.840 seriously hit, but thankfully with the help of two great 0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:19.800 country doctors. We thought they were gone and they were saved. 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:26.199 So those doctors had great talent. Were joined by Corey's wife, Helen, 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:31.280 who was his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved daughters, 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:32.840 Alison and Kaylee. 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:33.520 Thank you. 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:42.000 We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who 0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:46.640 knows the weight of that call of duty. Jason's father, grandfather, 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:51.879 and great grandfather all wore the uniform. Jason tragically lost 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.840 his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's 0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.199 deputy when he was just a boy, and now he 0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.120 wants to carry on the family legacy of service. 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:05.160 Jason is a senior in high school, a six letter. 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.639 Varsity athlete, a really good athlete, they say, a brilliant 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.200 student with a four point four six that's good GPA. 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:17.439 And his greatest dream is to attend the US Military 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:21.359 Academy at West Point. Jason, that's a very big deal 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.639 getting and that's a hard one to get into. 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.560 But I'm pleased to inform you. 0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.639 That your application has been accepted. 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.280 You will soon be joining. 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:37.439
