WEBVTT - Inside the Democrat Party/Canada Connection 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:01.690 I want to get you up to date on what's 0:00:01.730 --> 0:00:07.570 happening with Canada right now. And there's something very weird, odd, strange, unique, 0:00:07.730 --> 0:00:11.789 and honestly, not surprising, all at the same time happening. 0:00:12.570 --> 0:00:17.520 And that is, it looks like Liberal Democrats are now 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:23.459 working with Canada to undermine President Donald Trump. Now, the 0:00:23.500 --> 0:00:29.280 Canadian Prime Minister Carney appointed a longtime Democrat political operative. 0:00:29.950 --> 0:00:33.690 to a newly created senior position in his government. The 0:00:33.710 --> 0:00:37.670 latest action in a long history between prominent Democrats colluding 0:00:37.710 --> 0:00:42.150 with the country's leaders to oppose the Trump administration. The 0:00:42.190 --> 0:00:45.810 two countries are now embroiled in a tense back and forth, 0:00:46.290 --> 0:00:50.190 years in the making that threatens American interests on trade 0:00:50.370 --> 0:00:54.410 as well as national security. Now, in mid-July, Carney appointed 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.590 Johnson as chief operating officer of the prime minister's office. 0:01:00.330 --> 0:01:02.830 The position is the equivalent of the White House chief 0:01:02.850 --> 0:01:05.250 of staff, and she is the first person to hold 0:01:05.270 --> 0:01:10.010 the title in the Canadian government. Johnson also concurrently serves 0:01:10.090 --> 0:01:15.640 as senior special advisor for, quote, United States stakeholder strategy, 0:01:15.900 --> 0:01:18.720 a post she was hired in February of this year 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.979 to have as well. Now, what makes this arrangement unusual 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:28.170 is as an American citizen, Johnson, yes, you heard that right, 0:01:28.430 --> 0:01:33.530 as an American citizen, Democrat operative, Johnson is forbidden from 0:01:33.569 --> 0:01:38.039 top secret security clearance. As Carney's top deputy, it's unclear 0:01:38.100 --> 0:01:44.560 what access Johnson receives to classified or secure materials. Now, 0:01:44.580 --> 0:01:48.250 there was also no official announcement of the hire on 0:01:48.270 --> 0:01:51.850 the prime minister's official website, which makes this even more 0:01:51.970 --> 0:01:55.870 interesting because normally you would publicize something like this unless 0:01:55.890 --> 0:02:00.180 you're trying to downplay it on purpose. Now, Johnson's professional 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.680 history is lined with connections to Democrats in America. Remember, 0:02:04.700 --> 0:02:08.380 this is an American citizen. In 2016, for example, she 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.750 was listed as director of scheduling. for the failed Hillary 0:02:11.850 --> 0:02:16.820 Clinton presidential campaign in 2020. She also worked for Michael 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:23.630 Bloomberg's now-defunct hawkish political consulting firm. and provided, quote unquote, 0:02:23.650 --> 0:02:28.609 strategic consulting services to the Biden campaign from August through 0:02:28.650 --> 0:02:31.709 December of 2020. Now, when I say this is a 0:02:31.810 --> 0:02:35.880 top level American citizen, Democratic operative who's now the chief 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.040 of staff in Canada for the prime minister. Yeah, you 0:02:40.060 --> 0:02:43.360 should all be saying what in the world's going on? Now, 0:02:43.419 --> 0:02:46.399 that's not all she's done. Now, before I get to that, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.760 I also want to talk to you about the International 0:02:48.860 --> 0:02:53.210 Fellowship of Christians and Jews and the rising anti-Semitism that's 0:02:53.220 --> 0:02:55.310 happening not only in the U.S., but around the world 0:02:55.470 --> 0:02:58.370 every day. And the Jewish people continue to pay the 0:02:58.410 --> 0:03:02.250 price from growing threats against Jewish communities to acts of violence, 0:03:02.290 --> 0:03:06.450 harassment and intimidation. Many Jewish families are living with fear 0:03:06.490 --> 0:03:10.280 simply because they are Jewish. Synagogues, schools, and community centers 0:03:10.310 --> 0:03:14.079 continue strengthening security as hatred spreads far. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:14.880 Beyond the headlines. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.000 And that's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 0:03:18.060 --> 0:03:20.919 is working every day in Israel and around the world, 0:03:21.060 --> 0:03:25.839 providing security, emergency assistance, food, and critical care for vulnerable 0:03:25.900 --> 0:03:29.240 Jewish communities. For more than 40 years, the fellowship has 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.160 stood alongside the Jewish people, delivering practical support when it 0:03:33.250 --> 0:03:36.430 is needed the most. Hatred, it continues to spread, but 0:03:36.470 --> 0:03:41.010 compassion and action can make a world of difference. So 0:03:41.070 --> 0:03:44.590 I want you to join the International Fellowship of Christians 0:03:44.630 --> 0:03:48.110 and Jews and me in doing one simple thing. Praying 0:03:48.350 --> 0:03:51.710 for the safety of the Jewish people, for peace in Israel, 0:03:52.110 --> 0:03:55.600 and for an end to anti-Semitism. Together, we can remind 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.420 God's people that they are not alone. If you want 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.100 to know what to pray for, you can stand with 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.990 Israel in prayer today by visiting PrayIFCJ.org. 0:04:05.010 --> 0:04:10.990 That is PrayIFCJ.org. All right. 0:04:11.030 --> 0:04:13.650 So now let's get back to Johnson again, chief of 0:04:13.670 --> 0:04:16.730 staff to the prime minister in Canada, an American citizen 0:04:17.190 --> 0:04:20.130 who is now working against the United States of America 0:04:20.620 --> 0:04:24.160 and also work for the Biden campaign, Hillary Clinton's campaign, 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.180 Michael Bloomberg's campaign, you know, our consulting firm, I should say. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.160 And let me also just tell you, she also took 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.260 a position with Bloomberg LP. It's unclear if she worked 0:04:35.300 --> 0:04:39.460 for the Biden-Harris campaign in 2024, and the FEC records 0:04:39.740 --> 0:04:43.200 do not show expenditures connected to her. She did, though, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:48.870 contribute to the campaign via the radical organization ActBlue. Am 0:04:48.930 --> 0:04:51.190 I painting a good enough picture for you now? Yeah, 0:04:51.330 --> 0:04:55.349 it's pretty damning, right? Now, Johnson's ties to Bloomberg serve 0:04:55.420 --> 0:04:58.419 as the thorough way to Carney and the web of 0:04:58.460 --> 0:05:02.120 the Democrats to enjoy access to the prime minister in 0:05:02.220 --> 0:05:07.310 Canada as UN special envoy on climate action and finance. 0:05:07.890 --> 0:05:13.270 Carney focused on developing tools, guidance and products for investors 0:05:13.770 --> 0:05:18.120 that will combine positive social and environmental outcomes with strong 0:05:18.190 --> 0:05:22.380 risk adjusted returns, quote unquote. That, according to a biography 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.460 from the World Bank. Now, Carney served in the position 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.020 beginning in 19, following stints as governor of the Bank 0:05:29.060 --> 0:05:30.560 of England and the Bank of Canada. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.619 Now, in his U.N. 0:05:32.660 --> 0:05:37.960 Role, Carney co-chaired the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero. 0:05:38.620 --> 0:05:39.539 And guess what? 0:05:39.820 --> 0:05:42.320 The American, who's now the chief of staff in Canada, 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.260 provided him with research and support. Yeah, all of this, 0:05:47.740 --> 0:05:50.320 you get my point. Now you know just how bad 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.840 it is. Now, when the American citizen Johnson joined the 0:05:53.860 --> 0:05:56.930 Canadian government, her portfolio focused on U.S. 0:05:57.020 --> 0:06:00.779 Stakeholder strategy. And Canadian-U.S. relations. 0:06:01.260 --> 0:06:04.839 Carney and Canada's Liberal Party has hosted a number of 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.840 establishment Democrats, and this is where it gets really interesting. 0:06:09.580 --> 0:06:12.320 A great example of the radicals they host in Canada, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.520 Alex Soros, has also made visits to Canada twice just 0:06:16.580 --> 0:06:20.419 this year. while former President Barack Obama gave a speech 0:06:20.740 --> 0:06:26.050 at the Canada 2020 Gala in Toronto, showing Carney's success, 0:06:26.110 --> 0:06:30.930 bringing them to Canada to strategize against President Donald Trump. Now, 0:06:30.950 --> 0:06:35.800 another connection between Washington Democrats and Carney. is Gerald Butts, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.690 the former political advisor and strategist to the Prime Minister 0:06:39.770 --> 0:06:43.229 Justin Trudeau. Now, he is well known in Canada as 0:06:43.290 --> 0:06:47.950 the architect of liberals' climate and net zero policies, you know, 0:06:47.970 --> 0:06:52.099 the Green New Deal, making him a natural ally, yet again, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:52.799 for Carney. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.740 Now, this isn't the only big connections. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.460 We also now have learned that Carney and Butts also 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.260 hold significant ties to John Podesta. You'll remember that name 0:07:02.300 --> 0:07:05.900 because he's the longtime Democratic power broker, dating all the 0:07:05.940 --> 0:07:08.030 way back to the Clinton administration, where he served as 0:07:08.070 --> 0:07:11.010 White House chief of staff. Podesta chaired the Hillary Clinton 0:07:11.030 --> 0:07:15.110 campaign in 2016 and would later serve in multiple climate 0:07:15.150 --> 0:07:18.890 related roles in the Biden administration. You know, when Solyndra 0:07:18.930 --> 0:07:21.000 and all those things were going on, where they wasted 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.200 your tax dollars by the billions and billions of. 0:07:23.180 --> 0:07:24.900 Dollars, you know, during that time. 0:07:25.580 --> 0:07:28.820 Now, Hillary Clinton was a featured speaker at a Canada 0:07:28.820 --> 0:07:32.920 2020 conference and also in 2014, an event that also 0:07:32.980 --> 0:07:36.170 served as a fundraiser. for the Liberal Party of Canada. 0:07:36.530 --> 0:07:40.910 In 17, even a former speechwriter for Conservative Prime Minister 0:07:40.950 --> 0:07:44.370 Stephen Harper told the New York Post in 2015, quote, 0:07:44.530 --> 0:07:48.010 Podesta and Butts clearly know each other, but Carney's campaign 0:07:48.050 --> 0:07:51.420 has been very careful not to tie him to anyone 0:07:51.500 --> 0:07:56.880 too specifically. Podesta reportedly helped facilitate a private meeting involving Carney, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.990 Obama and Soros at the former president's May 2016 speech 0:08:02.030 --> 0:08:05.790 in Toronto. This was followed several weeks later by another 0:08:05.850 --> 0:08:10.430 private gathering in Nova Scotia. And that meeting included federal 0:08:10.530 --> 0:08:15.080 industry ministers, as well as Soros' wife, Uma Abedin, a 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.500 longtime Hillary Clinton loyalist, and Frank McKenna, who currently serves 0:08:19.540 --> 0:08:22.920 as the deputy chair of TD Bank Group and chair 0:08:23.020 --> 0:08:26.930 of the Brooksfield Asset Management. Now, I tell you about 0:08:27.060 --> 0:08:31.050 all this so you understand just how heavy the Democratic 0:08:31.110 --> 0:08:33.429 Party is deep inside of Canada. 0:08:34.010 --> 0:08:34.790 And what are they doing? 0:08:35.050 --> 0:08:38.650 Doing everything they can right now to undermine the president 0:08:38.790 --> 0:08:42.450 of the United States of America. Even Stephen Moore, talking 0:08:42.470 --> 0:08:46.200 about the tariffs on Fox Business Channel, had this to say. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.080 But I do want to point out to the viewers 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.800 that China has, I mean, Canada has been cheating. They 0:08:52.940 --> 0:08:56.600 are imposing very high tariffs on American farm goods, our 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.680 manufacturing goods, our technology products. And so they have been 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.780 imposing pretty high tariffs. 0:09:02.500 --> 0:09:03.080 On the U.S. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.160 And what Trump wants to do is force Canada to 0:09:06.179 --> 0:09:06.860 bring those down. 0:09:07.620 --> 0:09:09.480 I think it's a wise strategy. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.300 So the big question is this. If Canada has been cheating, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.740 the question is for how long? And how long has 0:09:15.780 --> 0:09:19.740 the Democratic Party been enabling Canada to take advantage of 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.439 the United States of America? This is, by the way, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.839 why President Trump's 50 percent tariffs on roughly 20 billion 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.160 worth of Canadian goods that took effect on August the 0:09:29.470 --> 0:09:32.990 22nd on Saturday. Well, he did it after those negotiations 0:09:33.050 --> 0:09:36.770 between us and Canada collapsed. And he understands what I'm 0:09:36.809 --> 0:09:39.770 telling you now. There are bad actors in Canada who 0:09:39.850 --> 0:09:43.729 represent America that are somehow working on the side of 0:09:43.790 --> 0:09:47.730 Canada to undermine Donald Trump. You think about how much 0:09:47.809 --> 0:09:50.230 liberals hate America. They're willing to go work for the 0:09:50.410 --> 0:09:53.790 other team to hurt Donald Trump. And that means they're 0:09:53.830 --> 0:09:56.109 hurting all of us. By the way, the White House 0:09:56.150 --> 0:10:00.890 says Canada is discriminating against American commerce. Where's the Democratic 0:10:00.950 --> 0:10:03.470 Party and why aren't they standing up for American commerce? 0:10:04.010 --> 0:10:08.050 And if you look at dairy and alcohol and automobiles, well, 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.819 you look at just how big of an advantage Canada has. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.360 You got to ask yourself this question. Why would Democrats 0:10:14.740 --> 0:10:17.980 ever agree to supporting Canada knowing what they're doing? when 0:10:18.020 --> 0:10:21.420 it comes to the double standard in trade. Trump has 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:26.040 now threatened another major escalation, doubling tariffs on Canadian cars, 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.900 trucks and auto parts from 25% to 50% beginning January 1. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.540 And that would be especially significant because the U.S. and 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:41.200 Canadian auto industries have deeply integrated supply chains. What's clear 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.589 is the president of the United States of America, even 0:10:43.650 --> 0:10:45.950 if he is having to fight Canada right now, well, 0:10:45.970 --> 0:10:48.850 he's not afraid apparently to fight the liberals, to fight 0:10:49.010 --> 0:10:52.829 the Democrats in this country who are now working to 0:10:53.030 --> 0:10:58.620 undermine America on behalf of the Canadian prime minister. U.S. 0:10:58.780 --> 0:11:03.250 immigration officers, we now are being told, have been reassigned 0:11:03.350 --> 0:11:10.330 to screen South African refugees and find unlawful voters. This 0:11:10.470 --> 0:11:14.650 is big breaking news as all U.S. immigration officers working 0:11:14.790 --> 0:11:18.430 for a key anti-fraud unit have been reassigned by the 0:11:18.470 --> 0:11:23.100 Trump administration to focus on screening South African refugees and 0:11:23.140 --> 0:11:27.780 alleged unlawful voters. The Fraud Detection and National Security Directive 0:11:28.300 --> 0:11:34.569 immigration officers have been shifted full-time onto two high-priority initiatives, 0:11:34.770 --> 0:11:38.150 that according to the internal correspondence seen by The Guardian. 0:11:38.860 --> 0:11:39.420 Leaving U.S. 0:11:39.460 --> 0:11:44.319 Citizenship and Immigration Services, known as the USCIS, unable to 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.400 provide officers to train asylum officers in the near future. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.420 But this is designed on purpose to make sure that 0:11:52.460 --> 0:11:56.459 America stays safe. The USCIS is inside the Department of 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.000 Homeland Security, which has led Donald Trump's immigration crackdown during 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.290 his second term. The processing of asylum claims has largely 0:12:05.370 --> 0:12:09.510 ground to a halt during Trump's administration. leaving many seeking 0:12:09.570 --> 0:12:13.709 asylum in limbo. And why is that happening? Because of 0:12:13.750 --> 0:12:16.670 the countless number of legal immigrants that the Democratic Party 0:12:16.710 --> 0:12:20.800 allowed to come across our southern border. So if you're 0:12:21.020 --> 0:12:24.220 angry about this chaos and limbo, if you're a liberal 0:12:24.300 --> 0:12:28.360 out there, just know this could have all been avoided 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.080 if you didn't have wide open southern borders for countless years. 0:12:33.370 --> 0:12:37.640 The immigration officers have been reassigned, we're being told, full 0:12:37.700 --> 0:12:42.679 time to these high priority initiatives. South Africa refugee screening 0:12:43.140 --> 0:12:47.020 and then unlawful voter screening as well. The message sent 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.270 on Monday said because of this, we will not have 0:12:50.309 --> 0:12:54.330 the ability to assign immigration officers to the training portfolio 0:12:54.370 --> 0:12:58.510 for the near future. Now contacted for comment, the USCIS 0:12:58.550 --> 0:13:02.470 spokesman said the directorate works on different vetting portfolios to 0:13:02.510 --> 0:13:06.449 combat fraud, maintain the integrity of the immigration system, which 0:13:06.510 --> 0:13:10.220 clearly we had completely lost in the Biden administration, and 0:13:10.250 --> 0:13:15.040 then also detect national security and public safety threats, saying, quote, 0:13:15.220 --> 0:13:19.400 this mission set includes a number of those priorities, including 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:26.250 election integrity, and refugee screening. Now, the FDNS is the 0:13:26.410 --> 0:13:31.900 USCIS unit responsible for detecting fraud and national security concerns 0:13:32.140 --> 0:13:37.820 in immigration benefits applications, including asylum claims. Its officers work 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.920 with asylum offices to identify cases requiring what they describe 0:13:41.980 --> 0:13:46.030 as further investigation. refer matters to law enforcement, and help 0:13:46.070 --> 0:13:51.370 asylum officers identify potential fraud and other red flags. Now, 0:13:51.390 --> 0:13:57.230 the reassignment marks a significant diversion of FDNS personnel. The 0:13:57.270 --> 0:14:01.179 message addresses only the agency's ability to provide officers for 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:06.160 asylum officer training. It does not say whether routine FDNS 0:14:06.179 --> 0:14:10.770 screening of pending asylum applications is has also slowed or 0:14:10.830 --> 0:14:15.130 stopped altogether. Now, a disruption to training would limit specialized 0:14:15.190 --> 0:14:20.150 instruction for asylum officers, and a broader slowdown in casework 0:14:20.170 --> 0:14:25.170 screening would have more direct consequences, they say, for pending applications. 0:14:25.710 --> 0:14:29.270 But here's the part that's really important. The refugee screening 0:14:29.330 --> 0:14:33.390 priority is part of the Trump administration's bid. They say 0:14:33.430 --> 0:14:38.979 to sharply curtail U.S. refugee resettlement. while also prioritizing admissions 0:14:39.150 --> 0:14:43.940 of South Africans, primarily from an area where U.S. officials 0:14:43.980 --> 0:14:48.560 say they face racial discrimination and quote unquote white genocide, 0:14:48.980 --> 0:14:52.960 which the South African government has, quote, rejected as unfounded 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.780 and politically motivated. Now the most recent refugee report from 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.940 the U.S. State Department detailed that of the 10,258 refugees 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.150 admitted to the U.S. between October 1, 2025 and July 31, 2026, 0:15:01.140 --> 0:15:02.920 1,255 were from South Africa. The remaining three were Afghans 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:19.350 that were admitted in November. Now, the second priority identified 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.350 in this clear message, the screening for, quote, unlawful voters, 0:15:23.950 --> 0:15:26.890 that appears to be part of the broader administration's effort 0:15:26.950 --> 0:15:31.720 to identify non-citizens alleged to have registered to vote in U.S. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:32.300 Elections. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.320 Now, experts have expressed a lot of concern. Now, President 0:15:36.380 --> 0:15:40.250 Trump has expressed a lot of concern about this being 0:15:40.310 --> 0:15:43.190 a significant problem. And that's part of the reason why 0:15:43.270 --> 0:15:46.410 clearly the resources are being moved to deal with our 0:15:46.450 --> 0:15:50.000 midterm elections that are coming up. Now, the USCIS has 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.100 already moved to bar naturalization for green card holders who 0:15:54.220 --> 0:15:57.560 voted or registered to vote, showing that if you skip 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.500 out on the system or abuse the system and you 0:16:00.570 --> 0:16:03.370 think you're going to become an American citizen under this administration, 0:16:03.590 --> 0:16:06.250 you are dead wrong. Now, I want to get to 0:16:06.290 --> 0:16:08.390 you more of the story of what President Trump's trying 0:16:08.410 --> 0:16:09.630 to do, and I'm going to do that for you 0:16:09.650 --> 0:16:11.770 in a moment. But before we get to that, right now, 0:16:11.990 --> 0:16:15.120 somewhere in the world, there's a child waiting. They're not 0:16:15.170 --> 0:16:18.470 waiting for a birthday. They're not waiting for Christmas. They're 0:16:18.510 --> 0:16:22.980 waiting for someone to choose them. That's what Compassion International 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.840 does every single day. They connect children living in poverty 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.880 with someone who will know their name, who will pray 0:16:29.940 --> 0:16:33.560 for them, who will encourage them, who will help provide food, 0:16:33.940 --> 0:16:38.090 medical care, education, and the hope through a local church. 0:16:38.650 --> 0:16:45.210 Now this year, Compassion is expanding into four new countries. Malawi, Zambia, Cambodia, 0:16:45.350 --> 0:16:48.850 and Myanmar. meaning thousands of children are being reached for 0:16:48.870 --> 0:16:51.940 the very first time. I want you to join me 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.780 for just $ 43 a month. You can be the reason 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:01.690 one child stops waiting. Sponsor a child today at Compassion.com. 0:17:02.030 --> 0:17:06.150 That's Compassion.com. So let me get back to the president's 0:17:06.210 --> 0:17:10.510 agenda on this issue for a second. DHS Secretary, for example, 0:17:10.609 --> 0:17:13.490 Mark Wayne Mullen, said in July that the department has 0:17:13.650 --> 0:17:23.240 identified over 250,000 potential non-citizens illegally registered to vote in California, 0:17:23.780 --> 0:17:29.760 in Nevada, in New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Now, this is 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.449 a shocking number. And the point is, the president has 0:17:33.490 --> 0:17:36.859 made it clear what his agenda items are. He wants 0:17:36.910 --> 0:17:40.020 to make sure that our elections are secure. He wants 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:41.940 to make sure that if you're in this country taking 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.520 advantage of this country, especially on a green card, that 0:17:45.619 --> 0:17:48.980 you will be held accountable for your abusing the system. 0:17:49.619 --> 0:17:51.740 And he wants to make sure that if you do 0:17:51.859 --> 0:17:54.260 ever vote in an election illegally and you are a 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.880 green card holder or trying to become an American citizen, 0:17:57.350 --> 0:18:01.190 that you will never receive that incredible gift. Now, if 0:18:01.210 --> 0:18:04.510 you just go back to the very basics here, one 0:18:04.609 --> 0:18:08.369 thing is very clear. This president is saying he is 0:18:08.430 --> 0:18:11.850 going to trust but verify when it comes to our 0:18:11.890 --> 0:18:15.820 election system. He's making sure that there are actually checks 0:18:16.180 --> 0:18:19.040 and balances, not just a bunch of people looking the 0:18:19.220 --> 0:18:23.000 other way. And one thing's for sure. You cannot trust 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.780 the Democratic Party with these elections at all. They will 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.020 lie to your face and tell you that the border 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.530 is secure while millions of Americans are coming across the 0:18:32.570 --> 0:18:36.220 border illegally. They will also tell you that our election 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.060 system is secure, even while you know that there are 0:18:40.290 --> 0:18:45.090 actually documented cases of illegal immigrants who have registered to 0:18:45.170 --> 0:18:50.330 vote and have voted in our prior elections. So this 0:18:50.410 --> 0:18:53.570 will be a very important moment, a moment where the 0:18:53.609 --> 0:18:56.439 president of the United States of America is saying, I 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.760 am going to make sure that whatever happened before doesn't 0:19:00.900 --> 0:19:03.940 happen again. And if there is cheating, we're going to 0:19:04.060 --> 0:19:07.000 find it and we'll hold those accountable for it. And 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.119 if there's no cheating, great. Then we're doing our job 0:19:10.340 --> 0:19:13.230 exactly the way that we should be. So here's the 0:19:13.270 --> 0:19:17.650 president letting those bad actors know less than 70 days 0:19:17.930 --> 0:19:21.730 out from the midterms that we are paying attention to 0:19:21.780 --> 0:19:27.570 our elections like never before. Yet again, there's another political 0:19:27.650 --> 0:19:32.669 controversy that is exploding right now around Hassan Piker. Now, 0:19:32.710 --> 0:19:36.510 Hassan Piker is one of the most influential left wing 0:19:37.070 --> 0:19:41.190 streamers online in America. He has now made yet again 0:19:41.250 --> 0:19:45.710 another offensive comment about American Jews. And now it is 0:19:45.770 --> 0:19:50.460 forcing Democrats to condemn exactly what he has said. They're 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:55.220 now having to admit that, OK, maybe he actually is, well, anti-Semitic. 0:19:55.810 --> 0:19:59.110 And this story matters for a reason beyond one Internet 0:19:59.170 --> 0:20:03.729 personality saying something outrageous that happens all the time. Hassan 0:20:03.770 --> 0:20:08.140 Piker has millions of followers. He has become a extremely 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:13.820 influential voice among young progressives and Democratic politicians have appeared 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.850 with him, courted his audience and in some cases campaigned 0:20:19.030 --> 0:20:24.350 alongside him. Now, finally, some Democrats are scrambling to put 0:20:24.410 --> 0:20:28.830 distance between themselves and Piker after his latest comments. During 0:20:28.890 --> 0:20:32.220 a live stream last week, and that has now gone viral, 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:37.439 Piker was discussing American Jews, Israel, and anti-Semitism when he 0:20:37.500 --> 0:20:41.919 warned that if Jews in America continue presenting themselves as 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:47.710 heavily invested in Israel, quote, eventually someone's going to come 0:20:47.750 --> 0:20:52.750 around and take action. Not against Israel, he said, but 0:20:52.790 --> 0:20:56.990 against American Jews. He went on to argue that Jews 0:20:57.030 --> 0:21:01.800 who tie their identity to Israel are making anti-Semitism worse. 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:03.710 So in other words, if you're Jewish, shut up about it. 0:21:04.180 --> 0:21:06.040 And if you don't, someone's going to take you out. 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.810 And if you like Israel and you're Jewish, then you're 0:21:08.850 --> 0:21:11.830 just making anti-Semitism worse. So therefore, it's your fault that 0:21:11.869 --> 0:21:14.740 you like Israel and you shouldn't do that. All of 0:21:14.780 --> 0:21:19.950 the implications of this argument are massively anti-Semitic, and even 0:21:19.990 --> 0:21:22.689 worse than that, they're calling for violence against anyone that 0:21:22.750 --> 0:21:26.699 is Jewish in America. You already have a massive problem 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.980 with anti-Semitism and threats against Jewish institutions. They become an 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.840 enormous concern. And so now Piker's like, hey, let's double 0:21:34.859 --> 0:21:38.480 down on that, right? Let's actually point at the Jews 0:21:38.660 --> 0:21:42.910 and say they're the ones responsible. Instead of being the victims, 0:21:42.930 --> 0:21:45.449 we're going to say it's your fault that this has 0:21:45.510 --> 0:21:49.290 happened to you. Now, Piker, of course, is disputing these 0:21:49.369 --> 0:21:53.540 interpretations as so many are angry. He says he wasn't, quote, 0:21:53.700 --> 0:21:57.100 advocating for violence. He says he was warning Jews about 0:21:57.140 --> 0:22:01.649 what he believes could happen because of political identification with Israel. 0:22:02.570 --> 0:22:05.290 He has called the outrage over his comments, quote unquote, 0:22:05.410 --> 0:22:08.410 a smear. Again, this coming from AP News dot com. 0:22:08.990 --> 0:22:12.350 But prominent Democrats are not buying that defense because they 0:22:12.390 --> 0:22:15.650 know it is absurd, ludicrous and you can't defend this. 0:22:16.190 --> 0:22:19.250 The House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, has been forced to 0:22:19.369 --> 0:22:23.300 issue a statement saying, The malicious claims that American Jews 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:28.460 are inviting violence against themselves is dangerous and anti-Semitic. Jeffries 0:22:28.580 --> 0:22:32.689 added that there is zero justification for threats against Jewish Americans. 0:22:33.380 --> 0:22:37.380 Scholten of Michigan went even further, saying she condemned Piker's 0:22:37.460 --> 0:22:41.580 talks of violence against American Jews, particularly because his live 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:46.610 stream displayed a photograph of the Michigan State Senator Jeremy Moss, 0:22:46.830 --> 0:22:51.109 who is Jewish. She also called the rhetoric unacceptable and 0:22:51.170 --> 0:22:54.710 said it had no place in Michigan or even in America. 0:22:55.230 --> 0:22:58.290 And Moss himself also fired back, saying he wasn't going 0:22:58.330 --> 0:23:02.040 to be lectured by Hassan Piker. about what Michigan's Jewish 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.700 community should believe in what Jews, and that Jews would 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:09.840 not be gaslit, quote unquote, into believing they are responsible 0:23:09.900 --> 0:23:13.889 for anti-Semitic harm directed at them. But now comes the 0:23:13.930 --> 0:23:19.520 political problem. The Michigan Democratic Senate candidate nominee, you know 0:23:19.540 --> 0:23:22.260 him as El Saeed. He has appeared with Piker over 0:23:22.300 --> 0:23:24.800 and over and over again. They're basically best friends. He 0:23:24.900 --> 0:23:29.459 uses Piker's online audience to reach young progressive voters. El 0:23:29.500 --> 0:23:34.420 Saeed is now having to distance himself for the very 0:23:34.510 --> 0:23:37.730 first time from a guy that said that America basically 0:23:37.750 --> 0:23:38.220 deserved 9-11. 0:23:39.510 --> 0:23:41.369 Now, Al-Said said this. 0:23:41.990 --> 0:23:46.140 Nobody speaks for him and emphasize his opposition to, quote, anti-Semitism. 0:23:47.220 --> 0:23:50.540 His Republican opponent, by the way, former Congressman Mike Rogers, 0:23:50.580 --> 0:23:53.850 says that's nowhere near enough. And he's demanding a much 0:23:53.970 --> 0:23:58.540 clearer break with Hassan Piker. Even Democratic strategists are warning 0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:03.679 that Piker could become a serious general election liability. The 0:24:03.700 --> 0:24:07.500 Washington Post writing that this morning. And here's why this 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:11.560 controversy isn't occurring in a vacuum. As I mentioned, Hassan 0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:15.720 Piker has a remarkable history of inflammatory statements. Perhaps the 0:24:15.780 --> 0:24:19.200 most infamous came in 2019 when he was talking about 0:24:19.260 --> 0:24:23.100 American foreign policy in September 11th and Piker said America 0:24:23.140 --> 0:24:26.980 deserved 9-11. Now, he went further at the time saying 0:24:27.020 --> 0:24:30.460 America had, quote, brought it on ourselves. Sounds an awful 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:34.030 lot like what he's saying now about anti-Semitism and saying, well, 0:24:34.070 --> 0:24:37.680 the Jews are bringing it on themselves, right? What's interesting 0:24:37.740 --> 0:24:42.600 now is even Joel Rubin, Bernie's 2020 campaign staffer, said 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.200 this on TV about the controversy. 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:47.700 And that's where Hassan Piker needs to go in the 0:24:47.740 --> 0:24:50.639 Democratic Party. We need to shame this man, get him 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.560 out of our party, get him out of campaigning with candidates, 0:24:55.020 --> 0:24:57.560 and make sure that the American people understand that we 0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.780 have no tolerance for this kind of language. 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.780 So, Joel, does it concern you when you see some 0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.609 of your leadership within the party or party elders say, 0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:11.399 This is all a big tent. You know, I look at, 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.140 there's some on the right. There's some on the right 0:25:14.310 --> 0:25:16.290 that want to be a part of the right. But 0:25:16.310 --> 0:25:17.650 I don't want to be a part of their tent. 0:25:18.190 --> 0:25:20.010 I won't vote for them. I won't campaign with them. 0:25:20.030 --> 0:25:21.350 I won't appear on stage with them. 0:25:22.460 --> 0:25:24.359 Yeah, Lawrence, I don't want to be in the tent 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:27.260 with the guys trying to kill me. You know, I 0:25:27.340 --> 0:25:29.940 am just not interested in that. And there are many 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:37.330 very strongly pro-peace, pro-Palestinian people who belong in that tent. 0:25:38.090 --> 0:25:41.410 Now, this is not going to end the controversy, even 0:25:41.470 --> 0:25:43.590 if they get rid of him, because there's still too 0:25:43.630 --> 0:25:46.909 many Democrats that have stood right beside Piker and have 0:25:46.930 --> 0:25:49.830 made it clear they like him. He has also said, 0:25:49.910 --> 0:25:53.190
