1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: I've got a very important update for you on a 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: story that we talked about yesterday, and it was the 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: claim by Donald Trump that banks had been d banking 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: conservative groups, Christian organizations, Second Amendment organizations. And now we 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: know even more about how banks had been d banking 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump after he left the White House. In twenty sixteen, 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: in an interview on CNBC, Donald Trump said that JP Morgan, 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: Chase and Bank of America, two of the biggest banks 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: in this country, refused to do business with him, despite 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: him having hundreds of million in cash and longstanding customer 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: relationships with them. 12 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 2: He alleged in. 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: The interview that JP Morgan asked him to close decades 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: old accounts with just twenty days notice, and that Bank 15 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: of America even declined his depositive over one billion dollars. 16 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: Trump attributed this to political bias, saying they discriminated against 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: many Conservatives, many Trump supporters, and many Christians. Supporters of 18 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, like tech investor Mark Andresen have echoed broader 19 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: claims of conservatives being quote d banked, including crypto entrepreneurs, 20 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,279 Speaker 1: under what they called Operation Checkpoint two point zero, which 21 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: brings us to the draft Executive Order that I told 22 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: you about yesterday. It would penalize banks for political debanking. 23 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: I want you to hear President Donald Trump calling out 24 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: the JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond for debanking him, 25 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: and also calling out Bank of America as he tells 26 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: a story of what happened when he left the White House. 27 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: The first time I did discriminate. 28 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: I had JP Morgan Chase. I had hundreds of millions 29 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: of dollars in cash. I could see if they want to, 30 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: you know, if they want to do something bad because 31 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: you don't have any money and you're defaulted, and they 32 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: took people out. But I'll give you me as an example. 33 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: I had hundreds of millions. I had many, many accounts 34 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: loaded up with cash. I was loaded up with cash, 35 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: and they told me, I'm sorry, sir, we can't have you. 36 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: You have twenty days to get out. I said, you 37 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: got to be kidding. I've been with you for thirty 38 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 3: five forty years, they said, And I mean I had 39 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: all this. I didn't know what to do with it. 40 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: And I went to and you could ask him, maybe 41 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: he's not going to admit it. So I said, you know, 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: I was informed by my people that we have to 43 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: get out of Chase Man and that's Jamie and JP 44 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: Morgan Chase. So I said, I can't believe it. Well, 45 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: I was never in this situation before. I've never had 46 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: anything like it. And it's not like g you defaulted 47 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 3: and alone. You know, Jesus if I could understand that, 48 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: that's different. But there's no default. I mean, there's nothing 49 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: but caresh, it's a really gut. I have a really 50 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: great company. And then what happens is I call a 51 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: Bank of America routinely, because when I was president, this 52 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: was after I got out of the way. I call 53 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: a Bank of America routinely, and I speak to him, 54 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: and I speak to a couple of people, and they 55 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: have zero interest. Brian was kissing my ass when I 56 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 3: was president, and when I called him after I was 57 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: president to deposit a billion dollars plus and a lot 58 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: of other things. More importantly, to open accounts, which banks 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: always like. They like accounts because they get interest free, 60 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 3: you know, the overnights and things are a lot of 61 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: reasons for it, but they like accounts. I had hundreds 62 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: of accounts and he said, we can't do it. Nope, 63 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: we can't do it. So I went to another, one, another, 64 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: one another one. I ended up going to small banks 65 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: all over the place. I mean I was putting ten 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: million here, ten million there, did five million, ten million, 67 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: twelve million and a half them all over the place. 68 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: The craziest thing. And it's lucky I even had them. 69 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: They were doing me a favor. And that's because the 70 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: banks discriminated against me very badly. And I was very 71 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: good to the banks. I had the greatest economy in 72 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: the history of our country when I was president, and 73 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 3: by the way, our economy now will blow that away, 74 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: and you see it happening. But our economy now because 75 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: we're a rich country again, because of our trade deals, 76 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: we've become a rich country again. But now they totally 77 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 3: discriminate against I think me, maybe even more. But they 78 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: discriminated against many conservatives. You know, I told that story, 79 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: and sitting around tables with other people that were conservative 80 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: or Trump supporters. I think the word might be Trump 81 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: supporters more than conservative. And I believe what they did 82 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: is they went to the regulators. You know, banks are 83 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: not afraid of anything but a regulator, their regulators, and 84 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: their wives. They're more afraid of their wives than the regulators. 85 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: But the the group they're really afraid of is bank regulators. 86 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 3: And I believe that Biden or Kamala and I don't 87 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 3: think they're smart enough to do it. But the people 88 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: that are surrounding the beautiful resolute desk, you know, the 89 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: high IQ people that are radical left. I believe they 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: told the Banking Commission, the bankers, that the banking regulators 91 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: do everything you can to destroy Trump. And that's what 92 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 3: they did. And guess what, I'm president, How did that happen? 93 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: President Trump making it very clear he's not backing down 94 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: from this. He believes many others were the bank just 95 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: like he was, and saying he's going to use executive 96 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: orders to make sure it never happens again. Let me 97 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick. Are you one 98 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: of those who's just so tired of giving your money 99 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: to radical left woke companies that actually are fighting against 100 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: your values every day? Well, there are certain bills that 101 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: you pay every month that if you can go with 102 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: a conservative company, why not do it? 103 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: In fact, why go with. 104 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: A conservative company actually takes part of your bill every 105 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: month that you're going to pay to somebody and they 106 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: give it back to organizations that support your First and 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: your Second Amendment rights that support the rights of unborn children. 108 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: That stand with our military are first responders and so 109 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: many wounded warriors that need help.

I'm talking about organizations 122 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: that actually support abortion.

Enforcement could include financial penalties, consent decrees, 147 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: or other sanctions against non compliant banks. The Washington Post 148 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: is reporting at this hour. Market reaction and responses from 149 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: the banks have also been very interesting. Following Donald Trump's remarks. 150 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: Shares of JP Morgan Chase fell approximately one percent, while 151 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: Bank of America dropped about zero point three percent. Broader 152 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: bank indexes like the KBW, NAZAC Bank Index and XLF 153 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: and ETF also slid zero point two percent. 154 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: Now. 155 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: JP Morgan has also responded, saying we don't close accounts 156 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: for political reasons, but welcome discussion on regulatory reform. Bank 157 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: of America declined to comment beyond emphasizing the regulatory stability 158 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: and how important it is for the marketplace. Big banks 159 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: say they also agree with President Donald Trump that financial 160 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: regulations need an overhaul, even as their stock prices dropped 161 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: after the President confirmed plans to issue the executive order 162 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: to punish those that he said discriminated against him and 163 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: other conservatives. Trump complained that the banks allegedly acted unfairly, 164 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: specifically towards him, and that he wanted to open accounts 165 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: with him and they said no, as you heard in 166 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: the audio. The other part that's interesting is what JP 167 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: Morgan is now saying in response to this, saying, well, 168 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: we don't close accounts for political reasons, and we agree 169 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: with President Trump that regulatory change is deeply needed. The 170 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: spokesman said, JP Morgan looks forward to working with Trump 171 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: on overhauling banking regulations and praised his quote efforts to 172 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: address shortfalls in the current regulatory system. Now, the Bank 173 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: of America spokesman just straight up declined to comment ahead 174 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: of morn A Hand's scheduled appearance on CNBC. A Bank 175 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Policy Institute spokesman said, we're hopeful that any forthcoming executive 176 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: order will direct regulators to confront the flawed regulatory framework 177 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: that gave rise to these concerns. Republicans, by the way, 178 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: also getting in on this, including Senator Tim Scott of 179 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: South Carolina, have also complained about banks alleged treatment of conservatives. Scott, 180 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: who chairs a Senate banking committee, said during a hearing 181 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: in February that quote, it is incredibly alarming and disheartening 182 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: to hear about banks cutting off services to digital asset firms, 183 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: political figures, and conservative aligned businesses and individuals. That is 184 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: exactly why the President now says he must act. You've 185 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: probably seen the story about Democrats from Texas State legislature 186 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: fleeing the state, many of them to Illinois so that 187 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: they didn't have to deal with redistricting. And Democrats and 188 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: the media like or are joining hand in hand to 189 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: make sure they lie to you about the reality of 190 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: jerry mandering in this country, which happens overwhelmingly in democratic states. Now, 191 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: what they're doing in Texas is very clearly not jerry mandering. 192 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: You can see it from the maps that they've made public. 193 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: What is happening in other states is shocking, And in 194 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: other states, what's even more shocking is how the media 195 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: didn't freak out about it. Insert CNN's Jake Tapper claiming 196 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: that democratic jerry mandering, for example, in Illinois is merely 197 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: quote an exception to the rule, and he says the 198 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: worst offenders are really republican states without any evidence. But hey, 199 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: who needs evidence when you're Jake Tapper, listen to his 200 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: own words on his own show. 201 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 4: Look at the map, right, You have some exceptions, like Illinois, 202 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: there's blatant democratic jerry mandering, but most of the worst 203 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: offenders when it comes to jerrymandering are republican states such 204 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 4: as Taxis. 205 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: So let's just talk for a moment. About what it 206 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: looks like in liberal states. Red states, by the way, 207 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: got nothing on blue state jerry mandering, and we have 208 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: the numbers to back it up. Let's take a look 209 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: at California, and by the way, everything I'm telling you 210 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: right now, this is why I do this show. So 211 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: please make sure you share this wherever you can on 212 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: social media. California, we're going to start with forty percent 213 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: of the statewide vote is read. That's right, forty percent 214 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: of the statewide vote. So what does it look like 215 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to conservatives. Conservatives only have seventeen percent 216 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: of the seats there in California, nine out of the 217 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: fifty two. Take a look at Massachusetts, thirty five percent 218 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: is read of the statewide votes, zero percent of the seats, 219 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: that's right, zero out of nine go to conservatives. That's jerrymandering. Connecticut, 220 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of the state wide votes are conservative, 221 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: yet zero percent of the seats, zero out of five 222 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: in Connecticut are for conservatives. Take a look at New York, 223 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: where forty two percent of the state wide votes go 224 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: to conservatives and only twenty six point nine nine percent 225 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: of the seats seven out of twenty six go to conservatives. 226 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: Take a look at New Jersey. New Jersey actually has 227 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: forty three percent conservative when it comes to statewide vote. 228 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: Only twenty five percent of the seats, however, go to conservatives, 229 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: just three out of twelve. Then you move to Maryland, 230 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of the state wide vote is conservative, 231 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: yet twelve percent of the seats. Only one out of 232 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: eight in Maryland goes to conservatives. Look at New Mexico, 233 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: for example, forty four percent of the state wide vote 234 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: goes to conservatives, so surely that would be proportional right 235 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: in representation. No, zero percent of the seats, zero out 236 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: of three in New Mexico go to conservatives. Look at Hawaii, 237 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: thirty percent of the state wide vote goes to conservatives 238 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: and zero percent of the seats, yet again zero out 239 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: of two go to conservatives. That's called jerrymandering. Oregon is 240 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: another great example and a shocking example of jerry mandering. 241 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,359 Speaker 1: Forty two percent of the state wide vote goes to conservatives, 242 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: yet sixteen percent of the seats, or one out of six, 243 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: is a conservative. In Washington state, thirty eight percent of 244 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: the vote goes to conservatives, but only sixteen percent of 245 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: the seats, one out of six seats is a conservative seat. 246 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: Washington State, a state where there are thirty eight percent 247 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: of the vote statewide goes to conservatives, and only two 248 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: out of the ten seats there are conservatives, just twenty percent. 249 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: How about Rhode Island, thirty eight percent of the state 250 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: wide voters for conservatives and zero of the seats, zero 251 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: out of two go to conservatives. So when you look 252 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: at this type of media misinformation, it gives people like 253 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom licensed to suppress votes even for it's also 254 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: well jerry mannering, and it's significantly worse than what they're 255 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,479 Speaker 1: claiming is jerry mannering in Texas. It's actually not. It's disgusting, 256 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: but yes, the media is going to lie to you, 257 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: and they're going to continue to lie about this exact issue, 258 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: and that's exactly why you shouldn't fall for it. What's 259 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: also shocking about this story is who's getting involved in 260 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: the story. You look at the states that are harboring 261 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: the Texas legislators that fled, they are sanctuary cities and 262 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: sanctuary states. They're hardcore liberal places where they believe that 263 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: they are above the law and they don't have to 264 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: abide by the law. Even Eric Holder, the former Attorney 265 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: General of the United States of America, claims that the 266 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: House might not certify the twenty twenty eight President Joe 267 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: election because of the redrawn maps in Texas, will elect 268 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: quote partisan hacks. This was said by AMA's wingman on MSNBC. 269 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: It's deeply revealing about what the Democrats really want to 270 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: do when it comes to jerrymandering. Listen carefully, this is 271 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: not a Texas problem. 272 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the focus of this issue is Texas. 273 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 5: But this is a national problem. And you got to 274 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 5: understand if somehow, some way Republicans are able to hold 275 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 5: onto the House next year, and in spite of the 276 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 5: fact that I think they should lose because of you know, 277 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 5: the big budget build that took healthcare away from millions 278 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 5: of people, that gave tax breaks to billionaires who didn't 279 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 5: need it, if they were somehow able to hold onto 280 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 5: the House in twenty twenty six, that is the House 281 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 5: of Representatives that would have to certify who won the 282 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 5: presidential election come twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine. Now, 283 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 5: if you want to play with fire, and that's what 284 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 5: we're doing here, you put in a bunch of hardisan 285 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 5: acts who are not supposed to be in the House, 286 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: who are there because of jerrymandering and whole range of 287 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 5: other things that Republicans are doing, and then put at 288 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 5: risk the possibility that that body would not certify who 289 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: the next president was. That is that's why this is 290 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 5: a national problem. This is not something only the Texans 291 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 5: ought to be concerned about. 292 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: Incredibly revealing to hear Eric Holding claim something is outrageous 293 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: and egregious as what he just said. And I go 294 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: back to the main point here. Democrats are doing this 295 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: all over the country. They're doing it, and they know 296 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: what they're doing as jerrymandering. What they're doing in Texas 297 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: is redrawing the districts the way that the people that 298 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: voted them into office want it done, in an open 299 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: and transparent way. And they're not doing it where Republicans 300 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: have all control. What they're doing is representing the people 301 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: of Texas. And so yes, this is exactly why the 302 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: President United States of America is calling out the media. 303 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: It's exactly why Republicans are not backing down. It is 304 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: exactly why the President of the United States of America says, 305 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: do it openly, do it in the public let people 306 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: understand what's happening, and let me end by giving you 307 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: one example of just how corrupt the Democrats are in Texas. 308 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: There is a Texas Democrat by the name of James Talerico, 309 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: and what is he saying. He's actually saying on ABC 310 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: News that flood recovery for everything that just happened in Texas. 311 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Quote was a Republican talking point. That's right. In the 312 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: special session which was called one of the things they 313 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: were going to tackle was all of the flood relief 314 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: that was needed for so many that were hurt in 315 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: the massive flooding in Texas. And now Democrats are so 316 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: soulist they're saying, oh, that's just a talking point, we 317 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: don't have to deal with that right away. 318 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 6: And as you know, that means that there is other 319 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 6: legislation that's going to be the victim of that, and 320 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 6: that includes this bill for flood assistance for those Texans 321 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 6: who were impacted by those devastating floods on July fourth. 322 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 6: Are you concerned that all of this could ultimately be 323 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 6: a mistake if that legislation also becomes a victim of. 324 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 7: This, This is a Republican talking point. I'm concerned that 325 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 7: Greg Abbott decided to play politics with flood victims and 326 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 7: their families. The only emergency that we should be coming 327 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 7: to the state capital to address is flood mitigation and 328 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 7: disaster prevention. That's what Texans want us to focus on. 329 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 7: It's why my Democratic colleagues and I showed up on 330 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 7: the first day of the special legislative session two weeks ago. 331 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 7: We begged our Republican colleagues to prioritize flood victims and 332 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 7: their families, and they refused. 333 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 6: But the reality is But the reality is the consequence 334 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 6: of the decision, regardless of whether or not it's a talking point, 335 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 6: is that this bill is not going to advance. 336 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 7: Is that a bad idea? 337 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 6: If this bill does an advance? 338 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 7: And who put flood mitigation after redisseerting on the the. 339 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 6: Republicans they control the floor. They have made that exactly, 340 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 6: But there will be consequences to your decision here too, 341 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 6: will They're not And. 342 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 7: You know why they did that is so that they 343 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 7: could play politics with those flood victims, so that they 344 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 7: could pressure us to give away our constituents' voices in 345 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 7: the democratic process. They're using flood victims to try to 346 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 7: get us to agree to these corrupt maps so they 347 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 7: can rig the next election. We are not willing to 348 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 7: sacrifice the American experiment. We begged them to prioritize flood victims, 349 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 7: and they refuse to do so. This is cynical politics 350 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 7: at its worst. 351 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: Yet again Democrats lying about what actually is happening in 352 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: the special session and calling funding those who need this 353 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: massive amount of help with the Texas flood victims. Oh, 354 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: it's just a quote talking point, and that's exactly how 355 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: sick they really are. Over fifty Texas House Democrats, including 356 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: sixty two members total in the lower chamber, have left Texas, 357 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: traveling to Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts. Well, at least 358 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: they're consistent up there being sanctuary states and cities. Why 359 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: to deny quorum and block a GOP back congressional redistricting 360 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: plan that would likely add up to five new Republican 361 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: leaning US House seats, That is the claim by Democrats 362 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: and why they're now fleeing the state. Now. This strategy 363 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: mirrors previous walkouts in twenty twenty one and in two 364 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: thousand and three in Texas, where the quorum rules were 365 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: used to slow down legislation. Governor Greg Abbott has now responded, 366 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: issuing a three pm Monday ultimatum for Democrats to return 367 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: or face serious consequences. He threatened to quote invoke a 368 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one AG opinion allowing courts to cleare seats 369 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: vacant due to intentional quote abandonment office. He also could 370 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: seek civil arrest warrants for absent members, valid only however, 371 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: inside of Texas, which is why so many Democrats have 372 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: fled to liberal states. Also, he can investigate potential felony 373 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: charges for fundraising to pay the five hundred dollars day 374 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: fines that are being imposed by the House rules. Now, 375 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: the Texas House passed an eighty five to six vote 376 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: authorizing the Sergeant in Arms to issue civil arrest warrants 377 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: for those that were purposely absent. Now. Breaking quorum, by 378 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: the way, is not a crime, making extradition impossible. Abbott 379 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: cannot legally compel lawmakers to return from other states directly, 380 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: is what is being said now by Politico. Declarations of 381 00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: vacancy would require individual court action in each lawmaker's district, 382 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: years of litigation and with delay redistricting beyond the December 383 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five deadline for the twenty twenty six primaries. 384 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: And that's exactly why Democrats are playing this game. Texas 385 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: Democrats maintain they are quote standing up for democratic norms, 386 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: not running away. You can decide how ridiculous they actually 387 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: are in your own minds. But many of the representatives 388 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: are now taking more heat. Why because they are prioritizing 389 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: the Democrats' agenda over prioritizing flood relief. Yes, that was 390 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: one of the issues on the table that they're now 391 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: fleeing from. I'll give you just another example of also 392 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: how many liberal cities are helping them and states. The 393 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: Illinois governor Pritzker publicly backed the lawmaker's actions, calling them 394 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: a courageous defense of democracy and saying welcome to Illinois. 395 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: Democrats are characterizing the governor of Texas Abbot's threats as 396 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: quote smoking mirrors, pointing out that constitutional tools like quorum 397 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: breaks are legitimate devices they say to use under Texas law. Now, 398 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, the Texas governor, he's not playing around at 399 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: all with what the Democrats are doing. In fact, he 400 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: gave them a three pm deadline to get back to 401 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: the House chambers. The Democrats did not comply, and after 402 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: that he sat down with Sean Hannity on his show 403 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: on Fox News, and I want you to hear exactly 404 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: what the governor had to say. 405 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 8: Very latest from Austin is Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Governor. 406 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 8: When I looked, I have a whole sheet here of 407 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 8: every single Democratic state, and it's just like the examples 408 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 8: I put up there. They have jerry mandered their states 409 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 8: left right, sideways. They're saying, well, they're gonna they're gonna 410 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 8: do to their states what you're doing in Texas. They 411 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 8: already did it in all of these blue states. Frankly, 412 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 8: Republicans should have caught up a long time ago. 413 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 9: Well, Sean, first of all, Texas is doing what we 414 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 9: are allowed to by the law. And one reason why 415 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 9: that law exists the way that it does is because 416 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 9: the Democrats brought a lawsuit after our last redistricting and 417 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 9: that decision, and that lawsuit came out last year, and 418 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 9: that lawsuit recognized that coalition districts are not required, and 419 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 9: so Texas has a right to redraw these lines to 420 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 9: fully represent the desires of every voter in the state. 421 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 9: But Sean, that misses the point here. The point here 422 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 9: is that Democrats have done something that's very Untexan. They've 423 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 9: turned their backs on their fellow Texans. When it came 424 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 9: to a fight, they turned and ran away. Not just 425 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 9: from this redistricting fight, they ran away from dealing with 426 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 9: the flooding issues that are still echoing across the Curveville area. 427 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 9: Families desperately need results from the state legislature in this 428 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 9: thirty day special session that are not going to be 429 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 9: delivered because Democrats are hanging out in Chicago and New 430 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 9: York and other place. 431 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let me run through the states. 432 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 8: California Republicans thirty nine percent of the House vote, but 433 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 8: they only have seventeen percent of the seats. Connecticut Republicans 434 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 8: forty percent of the House vote, zero seats, none Zip Illinois. 435 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four Republicans. 436 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 8: They got a pretty respectable forty seven percent of the 437 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 8: statewide vote, eighteen percent of House seats. Maryland, one of 438 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 8: the bluest states, Trump gets thirty five percent, but they 439 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 8: only have twelve percent. 440 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: Of House seats. 441 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 8: Massachusetts again, zero house seats. Nevada is even worse for 442 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 8: Republicans win the state. They won the state House by 443 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 8: ten points, walked away with one single House seat in 444 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 8: the entire state. 445 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: That's it. 446 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 8: So this has been the practice of these states for 447 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 8: the longest. 448 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 2: Period of time. 449 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 8: Now they want to attack you, and I'm thinking, Okay, 450 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 8: what you're doing is exactly what they did. 451 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 10: Well, and not even that sean. 452 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 9: To be honest, the Texas maps are not going to 453 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 9: be as extreme as those other blue states that you 454 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 9: talked about. But another thing, and that is what Texas 455 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 9: is doing under these new maps. Four of the five 456 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 9: new seats will be a majority Hispanic seats. One of 457 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 9: the seats is going to restore the Barbara Jordan's seat 458 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 9: over in the Houston area. And so these are seats 459 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 9: where Democrats are having to come to grips with the reality, 460 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 9: and that is they are now losing the votes of 461 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 9: Hispanics and black voters in the state of Texas. And 462 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 9: these districts are going to show that Hispanics in Blacks 463 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 9: as well as others are voting for Republican and Republican 464 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 9: is their candadate of choice. And we will ensure that 465 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 9: will be achieved at the congressional level in the state 466 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 9: of Texas well. 467 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 8: Certainly it should be somewhat proportional to what the vote 468 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 8: is What is your response to Kathy Hochel who says 469 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 8: that we are at war over Texas and the redistricting 470 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 8: push that's going on in Texas. 471 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 10: There's a bunch of crazy bluster. 472 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 9: Democrats are freaking out because they are realizing Texas has 473 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 9: the authority to redistrict and we're going to do so 474 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 9: way that's going to lead to these additional seats that 475 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 9: will vote Republican and they will be serving in Congress 476 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 9: in the next session.
