1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with center Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: with you as always, Senator. This will be our last 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: show before there is an inauguration that's going to be 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: taking place next week, which is really fun. But it's 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: already started on Capitol Hill with confirmation hearings. And I 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: think it's pretty fair to say if Democrats were hoping 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: for fireworks and they were hoping to, you know, derail 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: some of the nominees this week, they failed miserably. 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: We're kicking tail and taking names. 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 3: So Ben, I love you, but I got to say, 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: somebody needs to buy you a calendar. So inauguration is 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: on Monday, which means we will have a Monday morning podcast, 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: which means you and I will record it on Sunday. 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 4: So this is our second to last podcast. 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: All right, second inauguration. 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: Okay, fine, So we're gonna have one more show technically 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: on the day of the inauguration. 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: I understand when Monday occurs is a difficult thing to 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: figure out, so I'm going to give you that. But 20 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: right now, this is Friday's podcast, and so we're gonna 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 3: talk about what happened this week and what happened this 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: week it's real simple. We had confirmation hearings for half 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: of the Trump cabinet, and the Democrats came out pouncing. 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what the New York Times says Republicans 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: do all the time. They pounced, and they pounced and 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: they pounced, and the bottom line is they utterly failed. 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 3: If you're a Democrat trying to think you're going to 28 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: defeat the Trump cabinet, you are despondent right now because 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: they shot at everybody and they failed everywhere. 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 4: Here's the spoiler alert. 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: I believe every single Trump cabinet nominee will be confirmed. 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about So I participated in a number 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 3: and we're gonna talk about in particular Pambondi because Pambondi 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: is Attorney General I think is the most important Trump nominee. 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: She will be confirmed as Attorney General. But we're going 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: to break down the issues that we talked about because 37 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: it really went to the core of restoring integrity to 38 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice. So that's number one. We're gonna 39 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: talk about Number two. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California. 40 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 3: He's facing horrific wildfires that sadly his own misguided policies 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: played a significant part in increasing the likelihood of in 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: limiting the ability of California to fight against. 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: What is Gavin Newsom doing. 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: He's not focused on, we need more fire mitigation, we 45 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 3: need more sensible public lands management. 46 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 4: He's not doing that. 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: He's not focusing on we need more sensible water management. 48 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: We need to stop having empty reservoir we need to 49 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: have fire hydrants full. No, he's not saying that. And 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: he's also not saying, all right, enough with woke firefighter policies, 51 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: enough with DEI, we need to actually hire firefighters devoted 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: to fighting fires. Nope, he's not saying that, Gavin Newsom. Instead, 53 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: he rolled out a proposal, and he said, if anyone 54 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: offers to buy somebody's home, somebody's property that's been burned 55 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: to the ground, that is DEVI stated, and I Gavin 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: knew somethink the offer is too low, I'll criminally prosecute you. 57 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 4: I will throw you in jail. 58 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: It is again, if Saturday Night Live made fun of leftists, 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: they couldn't come up with a better skit than this. 60 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 4: And so I pointed that out. 61 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: He went back at me, Gavin Newsom, and I went 62 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 3: back and forth, and finally Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders in 63 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: the confirmation of Scott Besson to be Treasury Secretary, he 64 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 3: came out with the bold new Democrat policy they hate 65 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: hate billionaires, well except for leftist communist billionaires who fund 66 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party, but other than that, they're against them 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: all that. At the end of the day, I got 68 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: to say, Scott Bessett popped him back and showed the 69 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: utter and complete hypocrisy of Bernie Sanders. 70 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: That's what we're covering on today's pod. 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be really fun audio. You do not 72 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: want to miss that in a second. So let's go 73 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: back to the confirmations. And this was I think an 74 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: exciting time for many Trump supporters. There was worry early 75 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: on that there could be some derailing of some nominees. 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: Here. 77 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: You're up against the media, you're up against the Dems. 78 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: They work together and they try to, you know, derail 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: in any way they can. That just does not seem 80 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: to be what's gonna happen here. As you said, you 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: believe everyone's gonna get confirmed. 82 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 4: I do so. 83 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: Look we talked about in the last pot Pete Hegseth 84 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 3: Pete Hegg Seth is clearly the one they're targeting the most. 85 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: They went after heg Seth hard. 86 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: But I gotta say Pete did a fantastic job at 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: his confirmation hearing. 88 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 4: I think he's going to make it through. 89 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: If you look at Pambondy as the nominee for Attorney General, 90 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: she did a spectacular job in her hearing, a masterclass. 91 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: And I want you to listen to right now my 92 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: questioning of Pam Bondy. So I went right after Maisie Herono, 93 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: Democrat from Hawaii, who gave this long screed about how 94 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: Pam Bondi and Trump was going to politicize the Department 95 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: of Justice. 96 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: Why And here's what Maisie asked hers. 97 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: She said, well, because Trump is going to ask you 98 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: to prosecute his opponents, and you're going to do it 99 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: because you're a political hack. And so I went right 100 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: after this. Give a listen to my questioning of Pam 101 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 3: Bondi in the hearing this week. General Bondi welcome, Thank 102 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 3: you for your long career in public service, and thank 103 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: you for your willingness to take on this incredibly important office. 104 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: You know, I have to say, I don't know that 105 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: there is a more important position in this new administration 106 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: than the position to which you have been nominated Attorney 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: General of the United States. I thought the exchange just 108 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 3: a moment ago with Senator Herono was illustrative. She asked 109 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: you how you would respond if the president asked you 110 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 3: to target his political enemies. It's rather striking because it's 111 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 3: not a hypothetical. It has happened over the last four years. 112 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 3: And I think perhaps the most tragic legacy of the 113 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: Biden Harris administration has been the politicization and the weaponization 114 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: of the United States Department of Justice. And we don't 115 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: need to ask hypothetically, because Joe Biden publicly mused and 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 3: allowed the New York Times to report it, calling on 117 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland, why will he not prosecute Trump more quickly? 118 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: And Merrick Garland sadly, he sat in that chair and 119 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: promised to be a political and he broke that promise 120 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: almost the instant he walked into the Department of Justice. 121 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 3: If you look on the west pediment of the Supreme 122 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: Court of the United States, just above the entrance, there's 123 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 3: a simple yet profound forward phrase, equal justice under law. 124 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: We have seen over the last four years a Department 125 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: of Justice that systematically targeted the political opponents of Joe 126 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: Biden and Kamala Harris, and that systematically protected his friends 127 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 3: and allies. And it is tragic to see the loss 128 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 3: of confidence in the American people in the Department of 129 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: Justice and in the FBI. I would note I don't 130 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: think there's an institution in a America who has lost 131 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: more respect from the American people than the FBI has 132 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: in the last four years. That is a grotesque violation 133 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: of the obligation of the Department of Justice and the FBI. 134 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 3: So I want to start with just a very simple question. 135 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 3: If you are confirmed as Attorney General, will you pledge 136 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: to fairly and faithfully uphold the law, regardless of party? 137 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 4: So help me God, Amen, Look, And I want to 138 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: be clear for folks at home. 139 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: I don't want a Republican Department of Justice. I don't 140 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: want a Democrat Department of Justice. I want an Apartment 141 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: of Justice that follows the damn law. And I think 142 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: the American people do too. That shouldn't be too much 143 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: to expect. 144 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 4: Now. 145 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: I'm grateful to President Trump for nominating you. I think 146 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: on any objective level, you're clearly qualified for this position. 147 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: You have been a prosecutor for decades. You've been the 148 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: elected attorney general of the state of Florida, the third 149 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: largest state in America, for eight years. 150 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: Let me ask you, in terms. 151 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: Of your practice, how many criminal cases over the course 152 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: of your career have you personally handled? 153 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 5: Handled? Thousands? 154 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: How many of those were before a jury? 155 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 5: Hundreds? I don't want to overstate the hundreds. I was 156 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 5: in a courtroom for many years. I tried four when 157 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: I was an intern jury trials. I think you had 158 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: to try at least twenty in misdemeanor before you went 159 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 5: to felany. Then you were in court every day, and 160 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 5: I was also lead trial attorney for many years, trying 161 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 5: many cases. 162 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 3: So and how many of those cases would have been 163 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: before a judge? 164 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 5: Oh, hundreds and hundreds as well, but hundreds before a jury, 165 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 5: I would assume. 166 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: And as Attorney General of Florida, how many lawyers did 167 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: you supervise? 168 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 5: Roughly approximately four hundred. 169 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: Senator Now, I also want to clarify something. 170 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 3: During the course of this hearing, several Democrat senators have 171 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: referred to you as President Trump quote personal lawyer. Now, 172 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 3: I don't believe that is an accurate characterization as I 173 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 3: understand it, You represented President Trump as a White House 174 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: special advisor. 175 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: During his first impeachment trial. Is that correct? 176 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 5: Within office of White House Counsel, Yes, Senator, and. 177 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 3: Is working within the White House Council's office different than 178 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 3: representing Donald J. Trump individually as his personal lawyer. 179 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: Absolutely, how's it different. 180 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 5: You're working for the government, you're working for the Office 181 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 5: of White House Counsel. You're not representing him in his 182 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 5: personal capacity. 183 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: And so you have not represented him in his business affairs, 184 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 3: in his personal life, or at any of the criminal 185 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 3: trials he. 186 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: Has faced, no, Senator, And. 187 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 3: You know, when it comes to weaponization, it's worth noting 188 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: that in more than two centuries of our nation's history, 189 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: no president had previously been indicted, no president had previously 190 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: been prosecuted, until the Biden Harris White House came along. 191 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 3: And in the last four years we've seen Donald Trump 192 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: indicted and prosecuted not once, not twice, not three times, 193 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 3: but four separate times, and. 194 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 5: Two assassination attempts. 195 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 3: Senator, I have to say Javert from Les miz would 196 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,359 Speaker 3: be chagrined at the efforts of Democrats to do anything 197 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 3: possible to take him down. And I believe the real 198 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 3: target in this was not President Trump, but it was 199 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: the American people that these prosecutions were brought because partisan 200 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: prosecutors were terrified if the American people would do exactly 201 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: what they did in November of twenty twenty four and 202 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 3: vote to re elect Donald J. 203 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 5: Trump by seventy seven point three percent million Americans, seventy 204 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 5: seven point three million Americans. 205 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: Will you commit every day as Attorney General to follow 206 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: the law, to follow the Constitution, to uphold the rule 207 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 3: of law without favor and without regard to the partisan position. 208 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 4: Of any criminal defendant. 209 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 3: Yes, Senator, that's what we should all expect from Attorney general. 210 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: Thank you, Senator. 211 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: I love the way that you weighed that out to 212 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: explain just so many of the attacks and fallacies, but 213 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: also what her job is and the fact And you've 214 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: said this before, and I think it's a great point 215 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: to make again. You don't want a Republican Department of 216 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: DOJ or a Democrat. You want it to be nonpartisan, 217 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: because that's what God us into this mess with legal 218 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: warfare against every conservative anyone around Trump. And the list 219 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: is long of people that have been persecuted by this DOJ. 220 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: Well, and the Democrats have been screaming at her, what 221 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 3: will you do with trump demands go prosecute Democrats? And 222 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: the point I tried to make is, listen, that's not 223 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: an hypothetical, that's not some abstract question. Joe Biden did that. 224 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: He did that with Merrick Garland. And by the way, 225 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland saluted and said sir, yes, sir, and went 226 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: and indicted Donald Trump over and over again. So we 227 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 3: know what that looks like. And I don't believe Pambondi 228 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: will do that. By the way, I don't believe Donald 229 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: Trump will demand that. Now, I will say we had 230 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 3: a second round of questioning with Pambondy, and in the 231 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 3: second round I focused on a different aspect of politicization. 232 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 3: One aspect of it is using the machinery of justice 233 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: to go after your enemies, using the machinery of justice 234 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: to protect the political friends of the president. But there's 235 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: a different aspect of politicization, and that is refusing to 236 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: follow the law for an overarching political agenda, in this case, 237 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 3: the radical open borders agenda. So listen to this short 238 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: round of questioning that I had with Pambondy. Later in 239 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: the day, an excellent job at this hearing. And I 240 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: want to go back to the topic you and I 241 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 3: discussed before, which is the politicization of the Department of Justice. 242 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 3: I want to focus on a different aspect of it. 243 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: We talked about the Department of Justice under Joe Biden 244 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: and Kamala Harri being used to target the president's political enemies. 245 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 3: We talked about it being used to protect the political 246 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 3: friends and allies of the White House. But there's another 247 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 3: aspect of politicization and lawlessness, and that is refusing to 248 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: follow the law, utterly defying federal statutory law. And I 249 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: think there's no area where this has been more egregious 250 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: than as it concerns our immigration laws. We have had 251 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 3: four years of a wide open southern border. My state 252 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 3: Texas has born a disproportionate burden as a consequence of 253 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: that as twelve million illegal aliens have flooded into this country. 254 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: And what the Biden administration has done no other president 255 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: in the history of America has done. The Biden administration 256 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: has simply ignored the law and when illegal aliens are apprehended, 257 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: they release them. Federal law says they shall be detained, 258 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 3: says they shall be deported, and frankly, our constitutional system 259 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 3: is not meant meant to deal with a president who 260 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: defies the law. Article two says the president shall take 261 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 3: care that the laws be faithfully executed. This administration utterly 262 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 3: defied the law. I have said, somewhat tongue in cheek, 263 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: Joe Biden did something I previously thought was impossible. He 264 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: made me miss Barack Obama. Because Barack Obama, for all 265 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: my disagreements with him, when it came to illegal immigration, 266 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: he by and large followed the law. Barack Obama deported 267 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: millions of people. The left got mad at him and 268 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: called him the deporter in chief. No administration has ever 269 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: done with This administration has done, which is said, we 270 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: are going to facilitate the invasion of this country. We're 271 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: going to release twelve million people, and we are going 272 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: to see Americans murdered, women raped, children abused and murdered. 273 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 3: We're going to see drugs flood into this country, fentanyl 274 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: flood into this country. 275 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 4: And so I want to ask you several things on this. 276 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 3: First of all, in your experience, what are the consequences 277 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: of open borders and who pays the price when illegal 278 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: immigrants and in particular criminal illegal immigrants are released in. 279 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 5: Country American citizens, Senator, and I think they're paying. I 280 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 5: know they're paying the price every single day. We're seeing it, 281 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 5: we're watching it. We've talked about Lake and Riley, of 282 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 5: course multiple times. But there are multiple victims violent crime 283 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 5: in all of our states. And as we say now, 284 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 5: every state is a border state. I was at the 285 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 5: border at not in your state, but in Yuma, Arizona, 286 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 5: several months ago, and I saw firsthand. I saw the 287 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 5: border patrol agents and Customs showed US IDs and driver's 288 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 5: license venezuela from all of these countries. IDs just thrown 289 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 5: on the ground, and people were allowed to walk freely 290 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 5: into our country. Senator, I never knew the definition of 291 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 5: a disposable child. I never heard that term in my 292 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: entire career until I was there. A disposable child that 293 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 5: the agents kept recognizing, A little boy coming over and over. 294 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 5: You're familiar with it, I'm sure, same little boy. 295 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 4: And let me ask. 296 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 3: Let me ask, because my time has expired and the 297 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: issue you're raising is so incredibly important. One statistic that 298 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: every American should know is the number three hundred thousand. 299 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: There are over three hundred thousand children that this administration 300 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 3: has lost. Little girls and little boys who came here 301 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: on accompanied were in this administration's custody. They handed them 302 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: over to adults, many of them not blood relatives, and 303 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: they don't know where they are. I've never seen a 304 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 3: single Democrat in this committee ask one question about the 305 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: three hundred thousand children. 306 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 4: I want to ask you a commitment. 307 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 3: Will you, as Attorney General investigate and make every effort 308 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 3: to find those children and if they are subject to abuse, 309 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: get them out of those abusive situations that the federal 310 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: government has put them into. 311 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 5: Yes, Senator, Thank. 312 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: You, Senator. 313 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: This goes back to I think one of the things 314 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: we talked about and highlighted on this show, and that 315 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: was just the abuse of power by majorchis and not 316 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: even knowing about, for example, the wristbands which you've described 317 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: on this show that were found at the border, and 318 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: so many people that are traffick had to wear those, 319 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: including kids. 320 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: You look at how we've lost all. 321 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: These kids, and hearing her commit to actually using the 322 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: DOJ for this reason, which would be a non political reason, 323 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: saving kids from sex slavery for goodness sakes, that was 324 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: encouraging to hear. 325 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 3: It was very encouraging that commitment was very important. Look, 326 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: you and I in our last podcast two days ago, 327 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: we talked about the horrific scandal in the United Kingdom 328 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 3: of thousands of girls subject to repeated child rape for decades, 329 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 3: and how the government turned its back on them, refused 330 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 3: to prosecute, refused to investigate, all in the name of multiculturalism. 331 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 3: By the way, if you did not listen to Wednesday's podcast, 332 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: you ought to listen to it, because it really is 333 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 3: there are among the stories that really bothered me, that 334 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: horrify me. That's really at the top of the list. 335 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 3: But you and I talked about on Wednesday, how it's 336 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 3: easy to say as Americans, well, gosh, it's a shame 337 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 3: the Brits did that, But we're somehow better than that. 338 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 4: No, we're not. 339 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 3: Three hundred thousand kids in America have been lost, and 340 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 3: the Biden administration doesn't care. Democrats and Congress don't care, 341 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 3: the media doesn't care. I am very very glad this 342 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 3: week that Pam Bondi committed to me on the record 343 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: that as Attorney General, she's going to investigate. I hope 344 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 3: she's going to create a task force in the Department 345 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 3: of Justice to go and find those three hundred thousand kids, 346 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: to go figure out are these children being abused or 347 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 3: are they being physically abused or being sexually abused? What 348 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: happened that it's not okay for the federal government to 349 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 3: lose three hundred thousand little boys and little girls. This week, 350 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: I sat down with Bobby Kennedy, and when I sat 351 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: down with him, I asked him the same question. He's 352 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: going to be the next Secretary of AHHS, Will AHHS 353 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 3: investigate and fought those children to make sure they're not 354 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 3: being abused? And I'll tell you he committed to me 355 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 3: in my office the same thing. That's a big deal, 356 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 3: and it's one of the many things that makes me 357 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 3: very excited about this new cabinet coming in. 358 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about timing, because there's a lot of people 359 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: worried that there's going to be, you know, delays with 360 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: cabinet members. You mentioned half of the of the cabinet 361 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: you guys have had up in front of you this week. 362 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: There are twenty attorney generals that are calling for what 363 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: they described as swift Senate confirmations of Chrissy Nome Pambondi 364 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: Cash hotel. Are there going to be Shenanigan's who tried 365 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: to lay this? Or are you concerned about that because there 366 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: have been a lot of articles written about that the 367 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: last couple of days. 368 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 4: You know, I'm not really concerned. 369 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 3: So we have had hearings already for about half of 370 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 3: the cabinet nominees. Now I'm going to point out January 371 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 3: twentieth has not happened yet, so it's before Donald Trump 372 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 3: has become president. Again, none of these nominees have been nominated, 373 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 3: so nobody can be nominated to a cabinet position until 374 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: the president is in office. He will not be in 375 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 3: office until noon on January twentieth, So the Senate is 376 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 3: holding confirmation hearings on a whole bunch of nominees who 377 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 3: haven't been nominated yet. 378 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 4: And that's a good thing. 379 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 3: I think on January twentieth, Trump will take the oath 380 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: of office at noon that day will confirm I think 381 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 3: probably a couple of Trump cabinet nominees. My guess is 382 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio will be confirmed as Secretary of State. I 383 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: think it will be an overwhelming vote. I think he'll 384 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 3: get north of ninety votes. He might even get north 385 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: of ninety five votes. It will be all the Republicans 386 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 3: and most of the Democrats. 387 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 4: I think there's a good chance. 388 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: John Ratcliff, who's been nominated to be director of CIA, 389 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 3: I think he'll be confirmed on January twentieth, and I 390 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 3: think the rest of the cabinet will be confirmed in 391 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 3: the next thirty days. So will it be instantaneous, will 392 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: it be in ten minutes, No, but I think within 393 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 3: thirty days we'll move the cabinet through and we'll move expeditiously. 394 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 3: And this week's been a very good week for that 395 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 3: because the cabinet nominees have performed exceptionally and I think 396 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: they're all going to get confirmed. 397 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: So let's talk about and go back something you said 398 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: a moment ago, and that's you know, what are you 399 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: focusing on. It's very clear that the Republicans are focused 400 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: on moving forward, getting things done for the people. And 401 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: you look at what Democrats are doing, whether and we're 402 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: going to get to this part in a minute, but 403 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: whether it's them saying, oh, we don't like people that 404 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 1: aren't our fans right now, so we're going to call 405 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: them oligarks, We're going to attack people that are rich. 406 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: And then you look out in California where the wildfires, 407 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: unfortunately are still burning, and it seems to be pure 408 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: politics right now for the governor out there who had 409 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: enough time to while these wildfires are going on, to 410 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: get in back and forth with you. 411 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, so, Gavin Newsom, you and I did a 412 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: podcast last week and it was another podcast which if 413 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 3: y'all didn't listen to, I'd encourage you to go back 414 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: and listen to. It laid out the specific policies that 415 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 3: California had put in place that increase the chains of 416 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 3: disastrous and catastrophic wildfires, and that reduced the ability of 417 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: California to fight those wildfires. Now, look, what is happening 418 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: in California is horrific, and as you know, Heidi's a 419 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 3: native Californian, a lot of our family is out in California. 420 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: My heart is breaking for these Americans who are seeing 421 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 3: their homes burned to the ground, the people being killed. 422 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: It is an absolute tragedy. And I am grateful for 423 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: the firefighters, for the police officers, for the first responders 424 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: who are risking their lives to save people. Even at 425 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: the time we are rallying around protecting people in harms. 426 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 3: Ray way, I think it is valuable to ask are 427 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 3: their policies that California enacted that made this worse? And 428 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 3: the answer is yes. And then I got to say 429 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 3: this week, Gavin Newsom jumped out, we're going to play 430 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: the audio to second, and. 431 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 4: Here's what he tweeted. 432 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: He said, quote, today, I signed an executive order prohibiting 433 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, 434 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake, 435 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 3: this is a prosecutable crime. 436 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 4: So play Gavin Newsom saying this Altadena. 437 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 6: I just signed an executive order with community leaders to 438 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 6: deal with the issue that is becoming a bigger and 439 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 6: bigger issue every day, and that's land developers that are 440 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 6: engaging in predatory efforts to make unsolicited offers for properties 441 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 6: at significantly below market value. This predatory behavior is disgusting 442 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 6: in the best of times, and of course here in 443 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 6: the midst of this tragedy at scale, it's disgraceful. 444 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 2: So we're going to hold those folks accountable. 445 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 6: I'm very grateful for the leadership here in the community 446 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 6: that promoted this approach and this executive order's reflection of 447 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 6: their direction and their commitment to preserving the unique character 448 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 6: of this community for generations to come. 449 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: Make no mistake, is a prosecutoral crime. Is what he 450 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: put out there in his tweet, saying, I'm signing this 451 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: executive order prohibit the greedy land developers from ripping off 452 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: LA wildfire victims with unsolicited offers. 453 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: So I responded, I responded on Twitter, and I sent 454 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 3: back the following tweet. Misguided California policies number one limited 455 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 3: fire mitigation efforts, number two produced water shortages, and number 456 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 3: three underfunded firefighters. And by the way, that's what we 457 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 3: discussed at depth in our podcast last week. The tweet continued, 458 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 3: Now Democrat politicians are making it harder for those devastated 459 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: by the wildfires to sell their destroyed properties. This will 460 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 3: only hope hurt the victims. So that was my response, 461 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 3: and then I got to say, it's in interesting. You know, 462 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: Newsom is in the middle of a crisis, and yet 463 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 3: somehow he found time to tweet back against me. He 464 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 3: was mad at what I had to say. So here's 465 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: what Gavin Newsom tweeted back. He said, quote openly shilling 466 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: for scammers and bottom feeder land speculators is a weird play, 467 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 3: even for you, Ted. Our executive order doesn't prevent anyone 468 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 3: from selling their property. It prohibits scammers from making unsolicited 469 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 3: offers to buy property for pennies on the dollar. And 470 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 3: then I got to say I responded to that, and 471 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 3: I said, leftists ignorant of basic economics have played a 472 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: major role in the exodus of millions from California. Now 473 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: Newsom brags that he will criminally prosecute anyone making a 474 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 3: quote unquote vote low offer to purchase a fire devastated property. 475 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: The result, many Californians won't get offers. And I got 476 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: to say this back and forth. I think it actually 477 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 3: reveals a lot the left today. They don't understand basic economics. 478 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: They don't understand economics. One oh one. Let's say you're 479 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: a person in LA and let's say your home has 480 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 3: been tragically destroyed. Let's say you're in tragedy or in crisis. 481 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: You don't know what to do. It's burned to a crisp, 482 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 3: you can't afford to rebuild, you don't know what to do. 483 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 3: And you know what, maybe someone comes in and makes 484 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 3: it offer and says, hey, ben your property, that has 485 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: been burned down, whether it's your home or commercial property 486 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: where you have, I'll pay you X dollars for that. Now, 487 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 3: before the fire, you probably wouldn't have taken X dollars 488 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: because your property wasn't burned to the ground it was 489 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 3: worth more. But after the fire you might well say, 490 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: holy cow, I'm in panic. I need help. That is 491 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 3: a life saver to me, so thank you. I will 492 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 3: take X dollars because I can't afford it if I 493 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: don't get some help right now? 494 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 4: What is Gavin Newsom saying? 495 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: Nope, if you make an offer, dammit, I'm gonna prosecute 496 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 3: you and throw you in jail. What that means, Let's say, Ben, 497 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: your home's burned or a crisp You know what, people 498 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 3: aren't gonna make you offers because if they're worried. Wait, 499 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 3: if I offer to buy Ben Ferguson's home, the lunatics 500 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 3: in California are gonna come prosecute me and put me 501 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: in jail. You know what, I ain't making an offer, 502 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 3: So you know what you're gonna get for your property. 503 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 4: Zero Because. 504 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: Numbskull politicians are focused on demagoguing someone who would offer 505 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 3: to buy a fire destroyed property rather than focusing on 506 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 3: stopping these wired fires, preventing them and supporting the firefighters 507 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: to stop them if and when they occur. 508 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: There's also a family aspect of this that is concerning 509 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: and you and I saw this with the massive flooding 510 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: that happened in Houston. My in laws house got flooded out. 511 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: They had no intent of moving, but after they got flooded, 512 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: it was the right time for them to leave that 513 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: house and sell that house that lot basically and move 514 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: closer to where the rest of the family was. 515 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: That was a family decision. 516 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: And if someone knocked on the door and was like, hey, 517 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to rebuild this, maybe 518 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: you should. You know, this is a lot value that 519 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: is worth a lot. And here's the economics of this. 520 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: There were many people that made that decision as well. 521 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: You just took that away from them. 522 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it's not complicated. 523 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: In a free society, I have a right to offer 524 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: you if I see something, if I see your house, 525 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 3: if I see your car, if I see anything and 526 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: I say hey, I'll give you one hundred thousand dollars 527 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: for that, I'll give you a million dollars for that. 528 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: I'll give you a thousand dollars for that whatever. Like 529 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: we have a free society where I can tell you, ben, 530 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 3: you have something, do you want to sell it? I'll 531 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 3: offer you this price. By the way, no one's forcing 532 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 3: you to say yes. Like if someone makes it offer, 533 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: you could say go pound sand No, I don't want 534 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: to sell it. And that's perfectly fine. If you remember 535 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: the movie Bugsy, great movie about the beginning of la 536 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: and Warren Baty is playing Bugsy Siegel and he's in 537 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: Beverly Hills and he sees this gorgeous mansion and he 538 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 3: walks up to the door and knocks on the door 539 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: and he says, I want to buy your house. The 540 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 3: guy says not for sale, and he says, nonsense, everything's 541 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 3: for sale. 542 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 4: How much do you want? 543 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: And he says it's not for sale, and then he 544 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 3: offers some massive amount and thirty seconds later the guy 545 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 3: leaves his house and Buggy Segel moves into his house. Like, 546 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 3: at some level, the right to offer I will pay 547 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 3: you X for what you have. That's the basic conduct 548 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 3: of free people and so. But the point on this 549 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 3: and this is economics one O one. When Gavin Newsom 550 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 3: says I'm going to come and lock you up and 551 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 3: put you in jail. If you make an offer to 552 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 3: people in crisis, well, you know what, people are not 553 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: going to make offers. So people are sitting there who 554 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 3: are trapped and hopeless and who their insurance was canceled. 555 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,959 Speaker 3: They can't get insurance, they can't pay their property taxes, 556 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 3: they can't they don't know. 557 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 4: What to do. 558 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 3: They're all going to be worse off because listen, if 559 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: someone makes an offer to buy it, maybe you say no, 560 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 3: I don't want that offer. 561 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 4: It's not enough, I don't want it. Okay, you're not 562 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 4: any worse off. 563 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 3: Have you been hurt because someone called and said, I'll 564 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 3: give you this amount for your property. 565 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 4: You're not hurt. 566 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 3: But for people who are in crisis, that offer maybe 567 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 3: the the life preserver they need. And Gavin Newsom said, no, no, no, 568 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 3: you ain't getting offers. Guess what you're just going under 569 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: because we the California Socialists, we're not going to focus 570 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: on protecting you. We're going to focus on demagoguing the big, 571 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 3: bad rich person who would offer to buy your property. 572 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 4: Instead. 573 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: It is also goes back to this other narrative when 574 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: we heard it from the President of the United States 575 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: of America. The other night, he was obsessed with this 576 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: idea of oligarchs. I actually think this was a little 577 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: bit different. And Bernie Sanders started naming names when he 578 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: was doing the confirmation hearing for the man who's up 579 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: for Treasury secretary, and I want to get your take, 580 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: and we're going to play Bernie. But one of the 581 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: things I felt was really kind of icky about this 582 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: was the fact that it's. 583 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: Like, hey, we're warning some of you that. 584 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: Have stepped out of line from the Democratic Party that 585 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: we're coming after you when we get our power back 586 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: if you step out too far into the conservative side 587 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: of things. And that's why we're warning you that if 588 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: we name you is an oligarch, then if we get 589 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: our when we get our power back, there's going to 590 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: be some sort of hell to pay. And you better 591 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: be careful how much you work with Donald Trump and 592 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: you support freedom of speech, and you support freedom of 593 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: expression online and the able the ability to post things, 594 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: and that's what it was boiling down to, and it 595 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: was I think even more weird. It was in a 596 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: back and forth with the guy for Treasury secretary, it's like, wait, 597 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: are you trying to weaponize treasury to say, hey, your 598 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: job is to now make sure there's no billionaires in America. 599 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 3: Well, look, it's worth giving a listen. So listen to 600 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 3: this back and forth. And in terms of the demagogic 601 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 3: language of the Democrat Party. 602 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 4: This is a great example. Give a listen. 603 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 7: When you have a small number of multi billionaires who 604 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 7: have enormous economic, media and political power. Would you agree 605 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 7: with President Biden who last night stated, and I quote 606 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 7: and Oligauki is taking shape in America of extreme wealth 607 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,959 Speaker 7: power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic 608 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 7: rights and freedom's end of quote. That's what President Biden 609 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 7: said last night. I agree with him, do you. 610 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 8: I enjoyed our visit, and I hope you got my 611 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 8: follow up materials that on the discussions, my predicious writings 612 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 8: on the terraces and China and the three billionaires who 613 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 8: you listed that all made the money themselves. Mister Musk 614 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 8: came to the country as an immigrant. 615 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 2: I understand that. 616 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 7: But what I'm asking you is when you have a 617 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 7: handful of people like Musk who will soon be part 618 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 7: of the Trump administration and others, when you have three 619 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 7: people owing more wealth than the bottom half of America society. 620 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 7: When these people have enormous influence over the media, when 621 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 7: they spend huge amounts of money in both political parties 622 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 7: to elect candidates. What Biden said last night is we're 623 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 7: moving toward an oligocky I'm asking you that question. Do 624 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 7: you think, forget how they made their money, do you 625 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 7: think that when so few people have so much wealth 626 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 7: and so much economic and political power, that that is 627 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 7: an oligoxic form of society? 628 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 8: Well, I wouldn't note that they. President Biden gave the 629 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 8: Presidential Metal of Freedom to two people who I think 630 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 8: would qualify for his oligarchs. 631 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 7: So this is not a condemnation of any one individual. 632 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: I'm just asking you when. 633 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 7: So few people have so much wealth and power, But 634 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 7: do you think that that is an oligockic form of society? 635 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 8: Senator? I think it depends on the ability to move 636 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 8: up and down the end. 637 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 4: No, that's not really dancer. 638 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 7: I mean, if you had the mobility, no matter who 639 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 7: those individuals might be. All right, But let me ask 640 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 7: you another question. 641 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: I love there how He's like, all right, I'm gonna 642 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: move on because this isn't landing and just threw it 643 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: back in my face that we just gave medals of 644 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 1: the highest level of metal you can give to a civilian, 645 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: to two of the people that would be categorized oligorks. 646 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: One of them, by the way, is a hard core 647 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: radical by the name of George Soros. 648 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 3: George Soros just got the Medal of Freedom from Joe Biden. 649 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: He celebrated. He also gave it to Hillary Clinton. And 650 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 3: by the way, before that, Barack Obama gave the Medal 651 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 3: of Freedom to Bill Gates. And listen, the position of 652 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders is, we hate billionaires. Unless you're billionaires who 653 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 3: support socialists and the Democrat Party, then you're okay. But 654 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 3: to be clear, you're only okay if you're buying absolution. 655 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 3: The instant you stop buying absolution, we will demonize you 656 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 3: and we will burn you an effigy in the streets. 657 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 3: And I gotta say, I like Scott Bessen's, He's like, wait, 658 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 3: you're attacking these people. None of these three people, you're 659 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 3: attacking none of them inherited wealth. You know, Elon Musk 660 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 3: came as an immigrant from Africa, like he built amazing 661 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 3: companies and and to a socialist, they don't care what 662 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 3: you did to build wealth. They're going to demonize you. 663 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 3: They're going to attack you. And it's an example of 664 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 3: and and by the way, it's it's why you get 665 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 3: so many incredibly rich, so many billionaires who backed the 666 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 3: Democrat Party because they're basically paying for protection from Roba spear, 667 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: from from from the guillotine in the French Revolution.
