1
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts.

2
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Now compromises your diplomatic efforts. Do you have an issue

3
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: or you raise an issue with the President about his

4
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: growing financial connection with the governments that you're going to

5
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: be negotiating with.

6
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I am not neither authorized nor

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: in any position to give you sort of any insights

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: into any of these arrangements you pointed out. You know,

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: you mentioned Jared Kushner as an example. He's a private citizen,

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 3: happens to be a Floridian. I don't know what, if

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: any engagement he has in the work that's going on now.

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: I can tell you what I know.

13
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: Obviously I'm not in the State Department yet, but I

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: can tell you as an example, President's envoyd to that

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: region who is charged, Steve Woodcoff, who was charged with

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: being an envoy towards reaching an accommodation between the Israelis

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: and the Saudis, has been working cooperatively and together with

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: the Biden administration, and in fact, I dare say that

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: all involved deserve credit for the seafire that the Terman

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: has just announced, But Steve wood Colls been a critical

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: component of it and had been involved in it from

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: day one. I think the broader consideration about whether we

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: want to see a Saudi Israeli mutual recognition and relationship

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: would be one of the most historic developments in the

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: history of the region. For all the factors we've discussed

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: here today.

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: It would be.

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: And one of the impediments to it has been this conflict,

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: in the ongoing conflict and the lack.

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: Of a ceasefire.

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: I also think it's going to be important for the

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: Saudis and others to be participants in post conflict stabilization

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: efforts in Gaza and beyond.

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: So all I can.

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: Tell you is that what I've said from the very beginning,

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: from the opening statement, and that is our foreign policy

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: is going to be driven as a presence, made abundantly

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: clear by whether some action makes a metic is in

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: the interest of the United States and our national security.

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: And that's what it's going to be driven by, and

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: that's how all these policies should be judged by. And

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: that's certainly the job that I believe I've been tasked

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: with executing.

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: On Well, let me then simply ask you this question.

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: Do you believe the president should refrain from doing new

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: business deals with Middle East governments during his term in office.

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: Well my understanding, again I'm speaking out of term, but

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: the president doesn't manage that company. His family members do,

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: and they have a right to be in the business.

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the business that they're in. They're in

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 3: the real estate business. They've been for a very long time,

52
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: both domestically and abroad. They have properties in multiple countries.

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, I don't know

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: his family is entitled to continue to operate their business.

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: The fundamental question is not whether his family is involved

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: in business. The fundamental question is whether that is in

57
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: any way impacting the conduct of our foreign policy in

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: a way that's countered to our national interests. And the

59
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: President's made abundantly clear that every decision he makes, and

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: every decision we are to make at the State Department,

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: should be driven by whether or not it serves the

62
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: core national interests in the United States. And that's how

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: I hope our policies will be judged by, not what

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: business his families conducted. Is here in Washington, working not

65
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: on his business, but from the Oval Office.

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: You are correct, that is the fundamental question whether or

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: not a policy is being pursued in US national security

68
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: interests or due to the president's personal financial interest. That

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: is the reason why as United States senators, we are

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: not allowed to have complicated existing financial arrangements with foreign

71
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: governments because you do not want to create the impression

72
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: that there is a conflict of motivation. And I just

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: wish that this president applied to this incoming administration the

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: same rules that we hold.

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: Ourselves to as the United States senator.

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: Senator Rudo, I mean the time I've remaining, just want

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: to tackle two other topics. One that I know is

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: a mutual concern to you and I, and that's the

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: the need to confront China in non military ways as

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: they try to exert influence around the world. Last time

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: President Trump was in office, he was calling for pretty

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: massive cuts to the State Department's budget. But as you know,

83
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: China uses all sorts of non kinetic tools like misinformation,

84
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: economic diplomacy around the world to exert influence. I'm hopeful

85
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: that you're going to be an active voice to try

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: to make sure that you have the tools, including when

87
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: it comes to combating Russian and Chinese misinformation, to be

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: able to confront all of the ways many of them

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: asymmetric that China in particular, but Russia as well presents

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: challenges to US interests.

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: Just wanted to get your commitment.

92
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to be right back. We have a

93
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: look at that beautiful That is three hearings happening at

94
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: once of Trump's cabinet. That is they're going through advice

95

Speaker 5: the save.

100
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: I fear not.

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 5: You found the place for truth, the voice of a

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 5: generation that still has the will to believe in the

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,520

106
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Charliekirk dot com. Charlie Kirk Here radio stations across the country.

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: We have a live analysis of all three hearings that

108
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: are ongoing. Looks like Senator Rubio is taking a break

109
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: from them. We have John Ratcliffe and looks like transportation

110
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: going on as well. This is your go to news

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: source for all confirmation process. As the administration starts to

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: take form, but there is some major breaking news. President

113
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Trump sent his envoy, Steve Whitcoff on the other side

114
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: of the planet, saying, get the hostages home. Get the

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: hostages home before the first day of my administration. The

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: world knows that President Trump is coming. President Trump said,

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: if the hostages are not released, all hell will break loose.

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: And Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on a

119
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: ceasefire deal to end their fifteen month war in Gaza.

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: Now this is phenomenal news. Whether it's going to last

121
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: or not remains to be seen. Under the deal, a

122
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: ceasefire will last for at least six weeks. Hamas will

123
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: release dozens of hostages. It is still holding from the

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: seventh of October that terrible mini holocausts, that we saw,

125
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: an unspeakable tragedy that was performed against Israel, that was unwarranted,

126
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: that was unprompted, one of the most evil acts we've

127
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: seen in the modern era. Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will

128
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: then be in exchange and allow large convoys of aid

129
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: to enter Gaza. Then, after the initial exchanges, if the

130
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: ceasefire holds, the second phase will be Israel withdrawing from

131
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: the territory of Gaza Hamas, releasing its remaining hostages, and

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: a permanent peace deal being settled. Now, the deal still

133
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: has to be approved by Nettan Yahoo's cabinet, and his

134
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: political coalition is not necessarily a big fan of this. Now,

135
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: let me emphasize something. Joe Biden had an opportunity to

136
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: end this conflict. In fact, you could make an argument

137
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: that if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would have been

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: able to end this war back last year, this would

139
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: have helped them politically. All of the kids who I

140
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: told them, I said, vote for Trump. Vote for Trump.

141
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: He will prevent World War three. Well, look guess what

142
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: President Trump is already delivering as the peace president before

143
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: he takes office. All the kids who voted for him,

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: and I've told on all of our TikTok videos that

145
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: got billions of us, I said, vote for the president.

146
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: He'll prevent you from being drafted into a war. It

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: turns out that President Trump is the peace president. This

148
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: mandate is about peace through strength diplomatic means. First, you

149
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: can make an argument that we wouldn't have won the

150
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: state of Michigan if it wasn't for President Trump reaching

151
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: out to the Arab Muslim community, and Biden is just

152
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: so useless. Couldn't end Ukraine, can't end Gaza. What it

153
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: takes is for President Trump and Steve Whitkoff to go

154
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: right into the scenario before he's even president, during a

155
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: transition period. President Donald Trump becomes president in four days

156
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: and twenty three hours. Write it down. He is president

157
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: in four days and twenty three hours, and he's going

158
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: to inherit what he has actually helped broker before he's

159
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: even president. Can you imagine what he's gonna do with

160
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine. I bet the Russia Ukraine war will be

161
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: over by the summer, which is a big deal, by

162
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: the way, because during the winter there's a fair amount

163
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: of killing that happens. The summer is exponentially higher. There

164
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: isn't the ice, things thaw, and it is killing season

165
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: throughout the spring and summer. Mud season I think ends

166
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: in late March or early April, maybe May, and as

167
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: soon as the mud season is over, it is killing

168
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: fields throughout Ukraine. This is not because of Joe Biden.

169
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: It is despite Joe Biden that we are seeing peace

170
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Now we say this as a

171
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: show that is resolutely pro America and pro Israel, but

172
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: it's time for the killing to stop. This is not

173
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: good for Israel's pr it's not good for their status

174
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: in the international world to have an ongoing, non stop

175
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: war where they are being misrepresented as something that they

176
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: are not. It is time for us to now to

177
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: have an Abraham Accords two point zero. Biden had to

178
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: appease the pro Hamas wing of the Democrat Party and

179
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: he was unable to manage any of it. And the stories,

180
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: by the way, of how this deal was actually brokered

181
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: are really interesting. Steve Whitcoff flies in and tells Netan

182
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: Yahoo we're going to strike a deal, and net Yahoo

183
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: didn't like it, and he said, oh, no, I don't

184
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: know about this. He said, no, no, no, we are

185
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: not going to start day one of the Trump administration.

186
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: We're not going to have day one where President Trump

187
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: has killing fields in unnecessary places. We're not going to

188
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: do that. This is bad for Israel, it's bad for America.

189
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: It's getting us closer to a war with Iran. Let's

190
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: calm down tensions and focus on our country first. By

191
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: the way, this deal is also very good for Israel.

192
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: They're getting their hostages back. Some people are saying, oh,

193
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, we can't cut any deals. Look, life is

194
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: sometimes about bringing people to the table. They get an

195
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: end to the war. Over a thousand Israeli troops have died.

196
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: It says so clearly in the scriptures, Blessed are the peacemakers.

197
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Blessed are the peacemakers. And President Trump is the peacemaker

198
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: in the situation. And this is not Joe Biden was

199
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: not able to do any of this. This goes to

200
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: show how we have been prisoners of the low energy,

201
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: the bureaucracy, the administrative state. If you can end the

202
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: Israeli Hamas conflicts before even becoming president, imagine what else

203
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: is possible. Imagine what else we could do. As these

204
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: hearings are ongoing, we are seeing the assembly of a

205
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: superstar team. We are seeing the Avenger squad that will

206
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: be able to implement President Trump's agenda. We're gonna have

207
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: a reset starting on Monday. Piece the Middle East, piece

208
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: between Russia Ukraine, a booming economy, at secure border, mass deportations.

209
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: You're seeing a little bit of a preview of what

210
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: is to come and if you hear people complain about

211
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: this peace deal, you should just take a step back

212
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: and say you don't want peace, you don't want to

213
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: stop to the killing. What is in the best interest

214
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: of America and the best interest of America is not

215
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: get us closer to another quagmire in the Middle East,

216
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: while of course standing with our great ally Israel, both

217
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: of which are simultaneously very important. The hearings this morning,

218
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi was incredibly impressive and she had to endure

219
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: this this you want to talk? Is this guy targeted

220
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA? Before we're gonna play this clip. Sheldon

221
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Whitehouse from Hode Island has targeted me and Turning Point.

222
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: In fact, he wrote a letter. Get this. This is

223
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: a real thing. You could find the letter. Blake can

224
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: do it very quickly. Sheldon Whitehouse wrote a letter to

225
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: the Internal Revenue Service saying that Turning Point usay's five

226
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: to one C three status should be revoked. Why because

227
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: we hosted an event at mar A Lago and Palm

228
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: Beach Convention Center without masks and social distancing. I'm not kidding.

229
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: Sheldon Whitehouse said that our five to one C three

230
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: tax deductibility, our ability to receive tax deductions and be

231
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: a tax free nonprofit, of which we have a five

232
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: star rating from Charity Navigator. We do independent audits every

233
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: single year. We take it very seriously. He said that

234
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: it should be removed and revoked because we had an

235
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: event where we did not require masks or social distancing.

236
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: So he was krilling Pandandy this morning, play cut sixty nine.

237
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 6: Would you have hired someone into the Florida Attorney General's

238
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 6: office who you knew had an enemy's list?

239
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 7: Senator to cut to the chase, you're clearly talking about

240
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 7: Cash Battel. I don't believe he has an enemy's list.

241
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 7: He made a quote on TV which I have not heard.

242
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 7: I saw your sign or Senator Dervin sign about Cash.

243
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 7: But I know that Cash Patel has had sixty jury

244
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 7: trials as a public defender, as a prosecutor. He has

245
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 7: great experience in the Intel Department, Department of Defense. I

246
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 7: have known Cash, and I believe that Cash is the

247
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 7: right person at this time for this job.

248
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Sheldon white House more interested in Cash Patel than in Pambondi.

249
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: By the way, we found the letter documents reveal Senate

250
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Democrats pressured IRS Department of justice to target conservative groups.

251
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: That's Sheldon Whitehouse. Okay, what do we have relief factor

Speaker 1: it out right now at relieffactor dot com. Here's the

265
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: letter that he wrote. The tax exempt status provides a

266
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: substantial benefit to charitable organizations organizations such as Turning Point USA.

267
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: He urges the IRS to review whether it should be revoked.

268
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: That is the type of maniac who Pambondi had to

269
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: endure today. Blessed are the peacemakers pieces come to Middle

270
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: East thanks to President trouble be right back.

271
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 8: Who go on to become managers.

272
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 9: But oftentimes they have a purely scientific mindset, and they

273
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 9: have it in their minds that they collaborate openly with

274
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 9: fellow scientists from around the world. Which may be fine

275
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 9: if we're dealing with French scientists or Japanese scientists, but

276
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 9: I'd say it's not the case with Chinese and Russian scientists.

277
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 9: I'd also point out that the equivalent kinds of sites

278
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,479
Speaker 9: in China and Russia aren't nearly so open to American scientists,

279
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 9: and that would violate President Trump's treasured principle of reciprocity

280
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 9: with foreign nations. Finally, another key responsibility of the Department

281
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 9: of Energy that sometimes overlooked is the National Nuclear Security

282
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 9: Administration actually constitutes almost fifty percent of the Department's budget.

283
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 9: Can you give us assurances that you'll advocate that the

284
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 9: INNESSAY receives adequate resources to complete this top priority mission

285
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 9: for our national security?

286
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 10: Absolutely, Senator, I have significant concerns in that area. You know,

287
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 10: our uranium and enrichment capabilities in the United States have

288
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 10: been denuded over the last few decades. Even our ability

289
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 10: to produce plutonium pits has collapsed to nearly nothing. There's

290
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 10: some efforts in place to reverse that, but I want

291
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 10: to make sure they move as fast and expeditiously as possible.

292
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 10: That is the ultimate guarantee of the sovereignty of our nation,

293
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 10: is our nuclear arsenal. That is not something we can

294
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 10: cut corners on and not worry about.

295
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 8: Well, thank you very much.

296
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 9: I appreciate again your testimony and your answers on these

297
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 9: critical questions that are not always highlighted when you think

298
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 9: about the Department of Energy, but they cross into our

299
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 9: work on the Armed Services Committee and on the Intelligence Committee,

300
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 9: where I believe we'll see you in the future as well,

301
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 9: in addition to vital energy development questions like the macroformation.

302
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 9: So thank you very much for testimony. Congratulations again, I

303
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 9: look forward to working with you.

304
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 10: Thank you samor particularly for working two hearings at the

305
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 10: same time.

306
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: Thank you Sinner Cotten.

307
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 11: Round one is now complete, and hereby notify all members

308
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 11: if you want to participate in a round two, quback

309
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 11: right away because round two tends to go pretty fast.

310
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 8: We'll start that now again with five minute rounds.

311
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 11: The beginning of my second round, I just want to

312
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 11: ask you a little bit about the Department of Energies

313
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 11: appliance standards programs. Some of these regulations are of concern

314
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 11: or to at least got to be noticed by the

315
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 11: American people as they impact all Americans in one way

316
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 11: or another.

317
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 8: They reach almost.

318
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 11: All equipment that uses energy to any significant degree in Americans' homes,

319
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 11: so dishwashers, clothes dryers, closed washers.

320
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 8: Light bulbs, and a whole lot more.

321
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 11: There are consumer protections, of course built into the statute,

322
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 11: protections that were designed to ensure that things wouldn't get

323
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 11: too and that you know, quality didn't fall off the

324
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 11: table in connection with them.

325
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 8: But in contrast to the previous Trump.

326
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 11: Administration, the Biden administration has run somewhat rough shot over

327
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 11: some of those consumer protections built into the law. This

328
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 11: effort was, of course, in service of the Biden administration's

329
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 11: whole of government focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sometimes

330
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 11: to the exclusion of authorized statutory mandates. What will you

331
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 11: do to ensure that maximum protections for American families and

332
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 11: consumers will be recognized and respected if you're confirmed as

333
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 11: Energy Secretary when implementing the applied standards program.

334
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 10: Thank you, Thank you, Senator, Thank you for that question

335
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 10: and for raising that concern. I can assure you that

336
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 10: concern is on the mind of millions of Americans across

337
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 10: the country.

338
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 8: I hear it very often.

339
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 10: You know, we wanted to and the Department of Energy

340
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 10: and the government wants to drive innovation and more efficient technologies,

341
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 10: meaning delivering the same end with less inputs. That's advancement,

342
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 10: that's technology. But to take closed dryers for example.

343
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 12: You know it.

344
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome back. Email us Freedham at Charliekirk dot com.

345
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: There's a chance that President Trump has just threaded the

346
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: needle in a historic way. Yes, please keep that up.

347
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: Guys.

348
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: We won the youth thoat in Michigan. We won the

349
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: youth vote. We almost want it Wisconsin, and we almost

350
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: want it in Pennsylvania. But why is it that we

351
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: want it in Michigan but not Wisconsin or Pennsylvania. It's

352
00:20:52,200 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: because in Michigan there was a serious movement of young

353
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: Arab men. We saw it firsthand. Not in Michigan. We

354
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: saw it firsthand in downtown Atlanta. It was at Georgia

355
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: State University and I'd say twenty or thirty young Arab

356
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Muslim men who are huge fans of the program, huge

357
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: fans of us on Instagram, on TikTok, came up to us.

358
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: They don't like this radical feminism. They don't believe in

359
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: any of the trance stuff. They're very pro life. The

360
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: question they had these young Arab Muslim men, as you

361
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: can see how young men moved to the right, they said,

362
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: what is President Trump going to do about the war

363
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: in Gaza? Is he going to end the war? And

364
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: I disclosed to them, I'm very pro Israel, but I

365
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: want to see the killing to stop, which, of course

366
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: is a very reasonable thing to say, It's the most

367
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: reasonable thing. And they said, we're all going to vote

368
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: for Trump. Our whole community is going to vote for Trump.

369
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: And they said, if they told me this, these young

370
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Arab Muslim men, they said, if President Trump delivers a

371
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: peace deal, it will change the direction of how Arab

372
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: Muslims view politics for a generation. They were telling me

373
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: that amongst all of their friends and their family in

374
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern Arab Muslim communities in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, in Minnesota,

375
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: they will be watching Trump very closely, and that if

376
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 1: Trump does deliver this victory, if Trump does deliver a

377
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: peace deal, that they will leave the Democrat Party in

378
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: major numbers. According to seeing An exit polls in Michigan,

379
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: President Trump won the youth vote r plus three, a

380
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: twenty seven point swing from twenty twenty. In twenty twenty,

381
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: Biden won the youth vote by twenty four points. In

382
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Trump won the youth vote by three points.

383
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: Even amongst young non Arab kids on campuses, I would

384
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: be asked about the Gaza Israel conflict all the time, Charlie,

385
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: when is the killing going to stop? When is the

386
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: war going to be over? I said, if you want

387
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: a chance at a war to be over, put President

388
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: Trump in charge and show seventy eight. This is how

389
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: young men moved. Young men did not want to be

390
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: drafted to another foreign war, and young Arab men especially

391
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: were giving Trump a shot. In twenty eighteen, young men

392
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: favored the Democrat Party by nineteen points. In twenty twenty,

393
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: by fifteen points, in twenty twenty two, by one point.

394
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: Young men now vote Republican by thirteen points. By the way,

395
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: that's the power of turning point action and the power

396
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: of the social media canon that we have here. All

397
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: this to say that the breaking news of the Gaza

398
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Israel Hamas peace deal could re calibrate and change politics

399
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: for a generation, could change the way that young Arab

400
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Muslims view politics, and with it we could turn itt

401
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Michigan into a solidly read state. We could win back

402
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: in Minnesota with this now. But mind you, we should

403
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: not pander. If you are in support of radical Islamic terrorism,

404
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: I got nothing for you. If you're anti Israel, anti Semitic,

405
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: We're not going to cut a deal with that. However,

406
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: spending time with some of these young Arab Muslim men,

407
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: they don't see the Israel issue nearly as sympathetic towards

408
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Israel as I do. But they don't hate Jews, a

409
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: lot of them. They just have friends and family in

410
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: the region and they want peace and that Donald Trump

411
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: will bring peace. And they were right that Donald Trump

412
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: will bring an end to the slaughter and end to

413
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: the killing. And they were right. Turns out, Joe Biden

414
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: and the American war machine, brought to you by Kamala

415
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: Harris and Leon Panetta, they're the ones that wanted to

416
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: see this conflict continuing. And it's a pause in fighting,

417
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: which is a phenomenal thing. It is a ceasefire. Now,

418
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: a deeper peace agreement is going to come down the road.

419
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: But it jose to show the command that President Trump has.

420
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: And the Arabs who flipped to voting for Trump just

421
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: learned something very quickly. More than any other politician in America.

422
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: Trump keeps his promises. I want every Arab Muslim that

423
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: is watching right now, and there's a lot of you

424
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: young Arabs and especially young men that watch us on

425
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: social media, I want you to listen carefully. Donald Trump

426
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: kept his promise. It's one of his greatest traits. He

427
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: believes in keeping his campaign promises. That's why he nominated

428
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy to Health in Human Services. It's so revealing

429
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: that so many in Washington wanted Trump to just ignore

430
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: his promises to Bobby Kennedy after the election. Wash Washington,

431
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: they lie casually. President Trump is a man of his word.

432
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Email us Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Marco Rubi

433
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: is back. We'll take that after the break. We're living

434
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: through historic times. Be right back.

435
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: That we don't find ourselves in a world in which

436
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: we are dependent on China or any foreign power for

437
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 3: that matter, for the raw materials that we need for

438
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: the ability to make medicine, for the ability to fuel

439
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: our economy, the ability to feed ourselves.

440
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: Are our people.

441
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 3: We cannot be a country that becomes dependent on foreign powers,

442
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: and so much of that involves not simply how we

443
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: engage in the world, but also what we do here domestically.

444
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: That is not the responsibility to Department of State, but

445
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: it is important for us to point to that much

446
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: of what's happened with China, much of what's happening now

447
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: is what we are not doing, whether it's through our

448
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 3: own industry and the development our own industries, or access

449
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: to raw minerals and raw resources that are critical to

450
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 3: feeling and or building a modern economy.

451
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 4: You talk about China playing by.

452
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 13: A different set of rules, and they do the ones

453
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 13: that we think of the traditional rules, but the only

454
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 13: And I appreciate your comments to Senator Ricketts about China

455
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 13: and even the definition of them as developing nation.

456
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 4: I think it's a big problem.

457
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 13: They can't be allowed to continue to play openly with

458
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 13: a different set of rules.

459
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: In addition to the hidden rules.

460
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 13: I oppose China exploiting its status as a quote developing

461
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 13: nation within international organizations. I think it helps them gain

462
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 13: an additional unfair advantage in what you described as this

463
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 13: unbalanced relationship. China is not in any way a developing

464
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 13: country you just mentioned. They're a rich and powerful country

465
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 13: that's not a developing country. It's the second largest economy

466
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 13: in the world, clearly has the financial resource and access

467
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 13: to capital to meet its own needs. So I think

468
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 13: we need to end China's preferential treatment and hold it

469
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 13: accountable on the global stage. I mean, we see it

470
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 13: in the World Bank, we see it in other locations.

471
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 13: Are there things that we can do and you can

472
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 13: do as Secretary of State to try to eliminate this

473
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 13: unfair advantage that they have, and it's an open unfair advantage.

474
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I think we need it.

475
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 3: First of all, and I mentioned this in my opening statement.

476
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: We have to acknowledge that many of the global institutions

477
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: that were created, not just in the post war era,

478
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: but the post Cold War era, have been weaponized against this.

479
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: And I can use a number of examples. The first

480
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: is you think about the Security Council of the United Nations,

481
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: which was created ostensibly for the two of the greatest

482
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: drivers of instability in the world today hold a veto

483
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: vote at the Security Council. It's basically rendered the Security

484
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: Council almost irrelevant. By the same token, I would say,

485
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: I am not against multi ladderal organizations long ads that

486
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: or any foreign arrangement we have serves the national interest

487
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: of the United States. I do not believe in the

488
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: President has made this abundantly clear, President Trump, that under

489
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: no circumstances should any foreign entity or multilateral and international

490
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: organization have the total power over the national security interests

491
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: of the United States of America. The second point that

492
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: I would point to is that the Chinese have.

493
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 4: Very aggressively played this.

494
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: They have figured out, and it isn't hard to figure out,

495
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: that even the smallest nation state has a vote at

496
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: the United Nations General Assembly, and they have worked hard

497
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: to not just court but in trap a handful of

498
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: votes around the world, and including in our own hemisphere.

499
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: If you look at the Caribbean Basin in Grenada, in

500
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 3: places like that, where they go into these countries and

501
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: they don't just provide a million dollars, they're a billion

502
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: dollars to build the stadium.

503
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 4: They also give you five or six.

504
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: Million dollars under the table for your family and friends.

505
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: They do that in place after place. We've seen that

506
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: practice as well in Africa, so we need to understand

507
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: that there has to be in many of these parts

508
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: of the world. Look, we're not bribing anybody. We're not

509
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: going to do that, and it's certainly illegal for American

510
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: companies to do it.

511
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 4: But it's hard.

512
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: To engage these countries, who in many cases have legitimate

513
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: needs when and they say, the Chinese, we prefer to

514
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: have your stuff. We have American investment, but you're not

515
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: offering any and so we're left with the only alternative,

516
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 3: and that is hey, the Chinese investment, even though it

517
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: comes with strong strings attached that include things like debt diplomacy,

518
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 3: our debt traps, and expectations of diplomatic cooperation at these

519
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: international forums.

520
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: My final question is to do because you've used the phrase,

521
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 4: we need to.

522
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 13: Be able to fuel our economy, and I talk a

523
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 13: little bit about bout energy. People who live in foreign

524
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 13: developing nations. They want to be able to fuel their

525
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 13: economy as well. They need a stable energy source to

526
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 13: grow their economy to improve lives.

527
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: Many of the countries you've traveled.

528
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 13: To and we've seen what energy poverty can do to people.

529
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: To make it harder for them.

530
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 13: We have an ability to help these countries develop a

531
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 13: stable energy supply, but this current administration, the Biden administration,

532
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 13: has put restrictions in place on funding of certain energy

533
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 13: resources such as coal, natural gas. The United States should

534
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 13: be working to promote in all of the above energy

535
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 13: strategy and help our friends and allies have affordable energy

536
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 13: as opposed to what is the politically correct type of

537
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 13: energy to be used. So I believe we should be

538
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 13: helping these countries with energy. And are you committed to

539
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 13: ensuring the State Department is promoting all forms of energy

540
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 13: projects across the globe, including oil, gas, coal, affordable energy

541
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 13: that will help people raise their standards.

542
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: Well, yes, in fact, there should be a centerpiece. One

543
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: of our centerpiece is very economic diplomacy. We talked earlier,

544
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: I think as a Senator or Coons had mentioned the

545
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: work on fragile states and the hope of preventing fragility

546
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: so that states don't collapse into some of the havens

547
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: that you now see where a terrorism takes foot and

548
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: so it takes a hold and so forth. And one

549
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: of the things you can do to help a country

550
00:31:40,560 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: become more stable and then more Prosperous is Access.

551
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 14: The hardest working radio show in the business. That Charlie Kirkshaw. Okay, everybody,

552
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 14: welcome back. Email us is always freedom. At charliekirk dot com.

553
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 14: I want to tell you about my Patriots Supply. We've

554
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 14: all seen the headlines.

555
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: Cyber attacks on our power grids, drones in the sky,

556
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: violent attacks on everyday Americans. The ugly truth is no leader,

557
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: no system can protect you from everything. And the last

558
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: thing I want is to be standing in line depending

559
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: on help that may never come. And when the crisis hits,

560
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: food is always the first casualty. Everyone needs it and

561
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: panic buying makes it even worse. That's why I made

562
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: sure my family's prepared with my Patriots Supply. Their four

563
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: week emergency food kit gives you the nutrition you need

564
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: to stay strong in a crisis. With two thousand calories

565
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: a day and one hundred percent of your daily value

566
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: of twelve essential vitamins and minerals, this kit keeps you

567
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: going when every meal matters. Right now, they're offering fifty

568
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: dollars off their four week food cat. Go to my

569
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: Patriots Supply dot Com now to grab yours. Don't put

570
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: this off and now is the time to prepare. We're

571
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: ready for whatever is coming next or whatever they might

572
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: throw at this new administration. So be ready at my

573
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: Patriots Supply dot com. That is my Patriotsupply dot com,

574
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: My Patriotsupply dot com, My Patriots Supply dot com. Let's

575
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of get that three up if we can. We

576
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: have Sean Duffy, we have who's Corey Booker talking to.

577
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Corey Booker and go full screen

578
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: and see what he's yammering about, and we'll cut in

579
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: and out. I think he's talking to Marco Rubier right now.

580
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: The whole planet.

581
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 12: We know in the days of infectious diseases, for example,

582
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 12: an outbreak of an infectious disease anywhere is a threat

583
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 12: to public health everywhere. More than that, we see the

584
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 12: climate challenges migration patterns there threatened to destabilize the Middle

585
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 12: East and other areas. Egypt, for example, literally is hosting

586
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 12: millions millions of refugees in Egypt right now.

587
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 4: Now.

588
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 12: My frustrations in my twelve years here is that we

589
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 12: as a nation have not really prioritized it. We do

590
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 12: not have ambassadors in some countries where China and Russia,

591
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 12: who understand the African opportunities are investing heavily. I've gone

592
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 12: around the world in my times in African countries, I

593
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 12: often encounter people that saying, hey, the Chinese are here,

594
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 12: where are you? And it's not just ambassadorial placements, other

595
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 12: critical positions and embassies just aren't being filled, and therefore

596
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 12: we're being outplayed by the Chinese and the Russians. African

597
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 12: countries and leaders have told me time and time again,

598
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 12: we prefer you, We'd rather deal with you, we'd rather

599
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 12: work with you. And we can see by legal immigration

600
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 12: patterns that there are people would rather are way of

601
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 12: life than the Chinese or the Russians. But we are

602
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 12: simply being outplayed in ways that we can counter if

603
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 12: we had a real focus and a real strategy for

604
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 12: engaging Africa. And the impact of US engagement is real.

605
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 12: And the backbone of our diplomacy is that diplomat abroad,

606
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 12: is that Secretary of State on down people saying this

607
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 12: is a priority.

608
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 4: I said this to you.

609
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 12: In our office, and I want to make a plain

610
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 12: now that we are at a point in this country

611
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 12: that what we do in the Senate, in the White

612
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 12: House and in the State Department are planting seeds for

613
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 12: the future. We can put a tremendous harvest in ten

614
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 12: twenty years prioritizing and emphasizing our work in Africa. Not

615
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 12: to do so undermines the three points that you said

616
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 12: at the beginning that I agree our foreign policy should

617
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 12: be guided by what makes us safe, strong, and prosperous,

618
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 12: and the future in so many ways is Africa. Could

619
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 12: you just talk to me a little bit about how

620
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 12: you are prioritizing it, how you understand the critical opportunities

621
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 12: and the dangers of not engaging at a higher level

622
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 12: than either the Biden administration, Trump administration, Clinton administration, Bush

623
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 12: administration have done.

624
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll proface it by saying that obviously, where

625
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: I'm not been confirmed yet preference, not an office yet,

626
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 3: there will be a national security strategy.

627
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: There will be that will frame much of what we

628
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: do in foreign policy.

629
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: So what I'm going to share with you basically here

630
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 3: today is, as as someone who will be at that table,

631
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: some of the impressions that I would share with regards

632
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: to our historic involvement in Africa and also some of

633
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 3: our challenges moving forward. So the first, and you've already

634
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: highlighted all the things about the growth that's going to

635
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: happen though, double in population between now and twenty twenty

636
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: thirty five or what have you. So it's extraordinary. That

637
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: isn't just an interesting number. That's what markets. Those are

638
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: also consumers. Those are also places that I think provide

639
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: an extraordinary opportunity properly positioned for America to become more prosperous,

640
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: literally more people that can afford to buy the things

641
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: Americans provide, both in services and goods and vice versa.

642
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: So I think there's an extraordinary opportunity where I think

643
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: some of our situation in Africa has fallen off has

644
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 3: been it's been rightfully so heavily focused on counter terrorism,

645
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: on counter terrorism in some places, and.

646
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 4: That's valuable and important.

647
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: It is very difficult for a country to progress or

648
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: move forward if they are in fact to haven, you know,

649
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: for that's open and so you know, the freaks come

650
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: out at night, and you've got the terrorist groups that

651
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 3: are operating and undermining that country.

652
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 4: So it's not that it's not important.

653
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: I think we're also learning from the hill how quickly

654
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 3: the situation changes despite significant counter terrorism contributions.

655
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 4: Each of those countries are pivoted.

656
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 3: To their great mistake, grave error towards the Africa cores

657
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 3: led by Russia. These people are not any good at

658
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: fighting counter terrorism and again unreliable, and I think the

659
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 3: moment will come when they'll realize that and maybe there

660
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 3: will be a new opportunity to engage on.

661
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: The flip side of it.

662
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 3: If you look at the Pearl West Africa, there are

663
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 3: real opportunities there and in fact ongoing engagements not just

664
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 3: on counter terrorism but on economic progress. I look in

665
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: the north to Morocco, another place where we have already

666
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: seen substantial improvements because of the accords, but also because

667
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: phase two of that relationship that continues to build. You

668
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: also talk about one thing that I don't think has

669
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 3: been talked about enough, and I think we hear the

670
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: term is a nineteenth century term. The impact the malaria

671
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: has is not simply a help crisis humanitarian crisis. It

672
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: has deep economic crisis, deep economic implications. It pulls kids

673
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: out of school for long periods of time and not

674
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 3: in their lives.

675
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 4: It literally sets people in communities back. We're do you mean.

676
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 15: People are the good peoples of Internet?

677
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: And the cost benefit of an investment leveraging private partnerships

678
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: to deal with things like malaria pays extraordinary dividends of

679
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 3: appropriately done and channeled, and that is something that I

680
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: think could as part of an overall approach to Africa

681
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: include be included in things that you could argue are

682
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 3: improving our prosperity our security.

683
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 12: Thank you, sin Ruber, You've affirmed a lot of this

684
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 12: to me in our private talks. I just want to

685
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 12: make an emphasis publicly here that the disinformation in Africa,

686
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 12: and have you mentioned disinformation written large but you know,

687
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 12: for example, the Washington Post blushed an article in October

688
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 12: detailing how Russian propaganda's targeted US anti malaria programs of

689
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 12: Burkino Fasso. The Africa Center for Strategic Studies reported published

690
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 12: in March twenty twenty four, highlighted how Russia and China

691
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 12: are leading sponsors of disinformation campaigns in Africa that are

692
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 12: showing incredible success because we aren't doing a coordinated plant

693
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 12: campaign to counter their misinformation. And so I'm looking forward

694
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 12: to working with you. I hope that you'll prioritize this

695
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 12: for the sake of America's future, that you could be

696
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 12: the Secretary of State that says we have a vision

697
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 12: for Africa, and we're backing it up not just from

698
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 12: the Secretary's office, but all the way down to making

699
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 12: sure key resources are invested in encountering disinformation as well

700
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 12: as making sure that we have personnel in there. It's

701
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 12: not a popular post, as you know for many State

702
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 12: Department people. We've got to make it that way, let

703
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 12: people know that they're helping to define the future of

704
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 12: not just the United States but humanity by focusing on Africa.

705
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 12: I cannot let my tie and expire without talking about

706
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 12: the biggest humanitarian crisis going on on the planet Earth

707
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 12: right now. What is happening in Sudan. It's been called

708
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 12: by our country at genocide. There's a famine being declared

709
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 12: in areas where you're seeing unbelievable levels of systemic sexual

710
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 12: violence going on. I travel to the Sudan border with

711
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 12: Chad and saw humanitarian crises like I'd never seen before.

712
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 12: And I've been around the world looking at humanitarian crises.

713
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 12: We have a great Special Envoy who you've already positively

714
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 12: name checked in this.

715
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 4: Confirmation hearing.

716
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 12: It is so important and vital that that work continue

717
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 12: and that we work for diplomatic solutions. There are a

718
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 12: lot of our allies who have been implicated in fueling

719
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 12: this crisis. This is an opportunity to end this crisis

720
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 12: by diplomacy, to bring about one of the most important

721
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 12: peace processes there are. And I'm hoping that you and

722
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 12: in being President Trump, will prioritize that.

723
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, in an era in which the term genocide has

724
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: been misappropriated just almost a global slander, an international slander.

725
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 3: This is a real genocide, but it's very definition. This

726
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 3: is the real gen sid This is the ethnic targeting

727
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 3: of specific groups for extermination, for elimination by groups by

728
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 3: the way that are being funded by nations. That we

729
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: have alliances and partnerships within other parts of the world, and.

730
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 4: And we should express that clearly.

731
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 3: I think in part of our engagement with the UA,

732
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 3: and it don't have to be a pragmatic engagement. I mean,

733
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 3: they are important players and what we hope to resolve

734
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 3: in the Middle East, and I think as part of

735
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 3: that engagement we also need to raise the fact that

736
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: they are openly supporting an entity that is carrying out

737
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 3: a genocide.

738
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 4: And I think for those who are.

739
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 3: Interested in going out and actually protesting a real genocide,

740
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: this is to be the one and I just don't

741
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 3: see it.

742
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 12: I don't know is morally prehensible that this crisis gets

743
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 12: virtually no attention in our country, especially because of the

744
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 12: role we should be playing.

745
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 4: And my time is over, but I want to say this.

746
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: We need to respond.

747
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 12: But the other place on the planet that gets no

748
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 12: attention that we are responsible for in our hemisphere is

749
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 12: a crisis in Haiti as well. I know that you

750
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 12: know this intimately, and again, I just want to keep

751
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 12: calling out these moral omissions of our country, often at

752
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 12: least in the press of an inability to focus our compassion,

753
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 12: empathy and understanding of our interwoven destinies with places like

754
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 12: Africa and places like Haiti.

755
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 16: Thank you, Thank you, Senator Booker for that. Those are

756
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 16: things that needed to be said. Having said that, you

757
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 16: have underlined probably the most difficult crisises we have on

758
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 16: the planet. And I think everybody's ready to sign up

759
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 16: on a path forward.

760
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 4: So far, nobody's laid out that path.

761
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 16: Forward, and you're right, we have an obligation to at

762
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 16: least try to design a path forward, and when that happens,

763
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 16: I have no doubt that we'll pull together Republicans and

764
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 16: Democrats as Americans to do something about this. But I'll

765
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 16: tell you the identifying who are the people there that

766
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 16: are the good guys that you can partner with is very,

767
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 16: very difficult, as you know. Thank you, thank you Sin

768
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 16: Rubya for your comments in that regard. We will move

769
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 16: now to.

770
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 4: Senator Paul Rubio.

771
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 17: Congratulations on your nomination. One of the questions that I've

772
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 17: asked over time to secretaries of state as well as

773
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 17: ambassadors and others from the State Department is can you

774
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 17: name for me instances where sanctions have changed behavior for

775
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 17: the better. I'm not going to ask you that question now.

776
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 17: I'll wait till you come back to ask you. There's

777
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 17: a preview of what I'll ask you the next time.

778
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 4: But the reason to bring that up is.

779
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 17: Is that I think, hopefully people think of sanctions is

780
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 17: a way of trying to modulate behavior with better behavior

781
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 17: out of a country or country is doing something you

782
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 17: don't like, you'd like them to change their behavior for

783
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 17: better through sanctions, and I think it rarely works, and

784
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,479
Speaker 17: I think we power more on now. Some would say, well,

785
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 17: sanctions are just to punish them, and we just want

786
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 17: to you know, Russia invaded Ukraine. We're just punishing them,

787
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 17: and so as punishment they con work. I don't think

788
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 17: they're deterring a Russia's behavior changing it. But really sanctions

789
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 17: can have effect in.

790
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 4: A couple of ways.

791
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 17: I think the threat of a sanction the same way

792
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 17: the threat of a tariff can have an effect on behavior.

793
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 17: But once placed, I think a sanction of tariff only

794
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 17: has effect on someone's behavior if you remove it now

795
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,080

820
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 17: Dual use parts to Russia to use in the war

821
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 17: against Ukraine a noble goal.

822
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 4: I share the goal. But they got to China and.

823
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 17: They shamed them in public and bought them names and

824
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 17: told them they're terrible people and they should quit doing it.

825
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 17: I would argue that there's another way to try to

826
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 17: get behavioral changes. I would argue that the opposite of

827
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 17: sanctions is trade, and so we have a lot of

828
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 17: sanctions on China. If I'd been the one going to

829
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 17: China with a mission I would have set to China

830
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 17: very quietly. We may not be able to undo everything,

831
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 17: but perhaps we could undo one bit of sanctions that

832
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 17: will enhance your economy by x amount if you will

833
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 17: agree to quit selling dual use parts to Russia. And

834
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 17: I think that's just a different look on things.

835
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 4: And I don't think we're getting it very often. I

836
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 4: guess my hope is that you will think about a

837
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: different way.

838
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 17: Of doing business other than just saying, let's sanction everybody

839
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 17: and let's call people names we don't like, because I

840
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 17: don't think it helps. I think it actually makes the

841
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 17: situation worse. That doesn't mean we throw up in a

842
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 17: ball and just stay. Do whatever you want, but there

843
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 17: has to be some give and take. There has to

844
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 17: be something we take back. And so I guess my

845
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 17: general question do you would be we know a lot

846
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 17: to stick, we know about sanctions and this and that.

847
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 17: Do you see any possibility of any carot with China

848
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 17: to make relations better with China?

849
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 3: Well, let me first say indeed, I've been strongly worded

850
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 3: in my views of China. Let me just point out

851
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 3: they've said mean things about me too, and I'm not

852
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 3: sure that they're fans of mine in that regard. My

853
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 3: role now as the Secretary of State is to lead

854
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: the diplomatic wing of the country, and that will involve

855
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 3: engaging them.

856
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 4: The fact of the.

857
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: Matter is in a mature, imprudent conversation, and I would

858
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 3: expect that they, at the end of the day, are

859
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: also mature and imprudent practitioners of foreign policy. They've got

860
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 3: a billion people and nuclear weapons and a large economy.

861
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 3: We have four hundred million people, the largest economy in

862
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: the world, and nuclear weapon and it is in their interests,

863
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 3: our interest, in the interests of the world for two

864
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 3: great powers to be able to communicate. In fact, despite

865
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 3: everything I have said, I have consistently throughout my career

866
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 3: that it is that geopolitical balance between our countries that

867
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: are imbalanced, developing imbalance that is the greatest risk to

868
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 3: global security and prosperity, because that could quickly trigger not

869
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: just to trade and economic conflict, but an armed one,

870
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 3: which could be catastrophic.

871
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 4: Never in the history of mankind.

872
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 3: Have two powers like the United States and China ever

873
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 3: faced off in the global conflict, and the outcome would

874
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: be catastrophic, and we should want to avoid it.

875
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 4: And so should day.

876
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: So the bottom line is this, Yes, we are going

877
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 3: to have to deal with China. They're too big and

878
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 3: too important in the world, and they're going to have

879
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 3: to deal with us. And my goal is that it

880
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 3: is dealt with in a way that furthers our national interests.

881
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: What cannot continue to happen is the China continue to

882
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 3: assume all of the benefits of the international system and

883
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: none of its obligations, all the benefits of global trade

884
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 3: and commerce and none of its obligations. Your point on

885
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 3: sanctions are important. I think that one of the things

886
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 3: that's happened over time is we have adopted this to

887
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 3: you that we're going to be involved in less armed conflicts,

888
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 3: which I think is a positive generally speaking, right most

889
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 3: people agree. The only other alternative left in the toolbox

890
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 3: then economic sanctions. And while I do think that there

891
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 3: you can question whether it has an impact over the

892
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: changing the behavior of a country.

893
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 4: It can achieve two things. The first is it can

894
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 4: deny a nation.

895
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: State the resources they could use to fund more of

896
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 3: that activity.

897
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 18: Let there be no doubt, Radio more money.

898
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody, welcome back. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot

899
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: com we have live coverage. It's almost like a March

900
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: Madness game where you got, you know, three or four

901
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: games coming up at once. Senator's head crews, I believe

902
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: is sharing the Transportation Committee. I don't know the exactly.

903
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: I think it's Transportation and Security. Let's listen in on

904
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz and his new chairmanship and mister Duffy, who

905
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: is going to replace Pete Buddhaje Edge. By the way,

906
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: this doesn't get enough coverage. The Transportation Department is very

907
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: importan looks like Senator Schmidt, who's now going to be

908
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: asking a question of mister Duffy. Let's throw to.

909
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 19: There of kids special needs.

910
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 4: My Steven's twenty now.

911
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 19: But the reason I do this and the perspective, as

912
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 19: you know that you gain is life changing and I'm

913
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 19: very grateful.

914
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 4: So thanks for sharing that.

915
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 19: Even though I didn't get to hear that public portion

916
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 19: we talked about in my office, I want to just

917
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 19: start by saying my extend my congratulations to you and

918
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 19: your family. You're going to do a great job. I

919
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 19: thought our conversation in my office was great. We talked

920
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 19: about a bunch of different things, and I think the

921
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 19: American people deserve new leadership in this position and be

922
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 19: focused on the right thing. So I just want to

923
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 19: rifle through a couple of questions. One of the things

924
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 19: I think in refocusing the attention of the office and

925
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 19: one of the real challenges I think we've dealt with

926
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 19: the last four years is this obsession that the Biden

927
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 19: administration has has had with and hey, Buddha Jedge, for example,

928
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 19: implemented this and was focused on this, and a month

929
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 19: before the first national groundstop of the national air of

930
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 19: our national airspace since nine to eleven, he was busy

931
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 19: renaming the air notice system to be more inclusive. I

932
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 19: just think it's a such a priority problem that we've

933
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 19: had the last four years. I really welcome your leadership.

934
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 19: And so how do you intend to tackle that to

935
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 19: sort of like refocus the department on, you know, building big,

936
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 19: beautiful roads.

937
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 4: As President Trump says, right, I appreciate the question.

938
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 15: And this is when we talk about safety, and we're

939
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 15: talking about getting on airplanes and flying through the airspace.

940
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 15: So air traffic controllers and pilots and the mechanics and

941
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 15: the machinists to build the planes. We want the hiring

942
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 15: decisions to be based on merit. We want excellence, We

943
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 15: want the best people.

944
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 4: In these jobs.

945
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 15: Now we can have a conversation, should have a conversation

946
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 15: about what communities are we drawing from. Are we accessing

947
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 15: the right community as saying, hey, there's a great community,

948
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 15: there's great opportunities at Boeing or one of the airlines,

949
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 15: or at air traffic Control. Accessing a lot of communities

950
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 15: with the information about opportunities in these fields is something

951
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 15: that I would commit to doing. But we can only

952
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 15: hire the best and the brightest because everyone's safety is

953
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 15: at stake.

954
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 19: It's on the line, and you know I talked the

955
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 19: last time we met. Under the FAA, there's the Office

956
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 19: of Commercial Space Transportation or AST, and it's responsible for

957
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 19: licensing and regulating, regulating all the commercial space, the commercial

958
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 19: rocket launch in re entry activities in the United States.

959
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 19: It's a little known agency. The only reason, quite frankly,

960
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 19: that I'm aware of it is because I was the

961
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 19: ranking member of the Space and Science Subcommittee the last

962
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 19: two years and learn more than I ever thought I

963
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 19: would ever learn coming into the Senate about how baccam

964
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,240
Speaker 19: article this competition is.

965
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: So let me explain the profundity of what's happening here,

966
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: Senator Schmid is going back and forth in between committees. Typically,

967
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: under the Mitch McConnell rules, you have one hearing and

968
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to bounce back and forth. But the

969
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 1: new energy of people like Jim Banks previously jd Vance,

970
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: of Eric Schmidt, of this new generation of senators, they say,

971
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: wait a second, I sit around and do nothing half

972
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: the time in one of these committee hearings. Why don't

973
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: we have two or three of those going on at once,

974
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: and I'll ask my question, exit, go back to the

975
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: next one, and I can have a staff for sitting there,

976
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: taking notes, hearing what people are saying. This allows you

977
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: to do concurrent nominations. It's very unappreciated. The young guns

978
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: in the Senate demanded to fast track this whole process.

979
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: Typically it would be just one a day. So on

980
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday you have Pete exit, and on Wednesday you've Mark

981
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: Rubio and I'm there, and then you end up in

982
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: late March and you might have a cabinet by Easter. No, no, no,

983
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: we're not doing it that way anymore. We are now

984
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: going to do simultaneous concurrent nominations. If we have to

985
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: bounce around. That's fine. Ask your question, go to the

986
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: next committee. We are going to try to have the

987
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: fullest cabinet possible for President Trump on day one, far

988
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: ahead of what we saw in twenty seventeen. Way way

989
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: way way ahead. Email US Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

990
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: We're going to keep this going through the break, so

991
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: you guys can hear the Mark Rubio hearing and also

992
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 1: the Duffy hearing. I believe Pam Bond you'll be back.

993
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's done for the day or not,

994
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: but these hearings are ongoing, including also Chris Wright of Energy.

995
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: This is a new philosophy in the US Senate. I

996
00:54:54,160 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: love to see it. Second hour coming up.

997
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 20: The Service Families Act, as you know, and we discussed yesterday.

998
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 20: You know the importance of supporting the men and women

999
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 20: at the State Department, including the Foreign Service, and I

1000
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 20: appreciate your willingness to work with us in the Caucus

1001
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 20: to continue to make sure that they have what they

1002
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 20: need to do their jobs effectively. We also discuss the

1003
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 20: ongoing war in Ukraine and the importance of supporting the

1004
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 20: Ukrainian people against Putent's aggression. And I just want to

1005
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 20: say for the record, I support and endorse everything that

1006
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 20: Senator Shaheen said on that score. So I don't have

1007
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 20: to go into great detail. I will say that we

1008
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 20: know what happens in Ukraine does not stay in Ukraine.

1009
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 20: And it's not just me saying that. That is what

1010
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 20: we've heard repeatedly from leaders in Japan, leaders in South Korea,

1011
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 20: and other partners of ours in the Indo Pacific region.

1012
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 20: So I hope that we will continue to focus on that,

1013
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 20: because what we do know is that President g has

1014
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 20: one eye on what's happening in Ukraine and another on

1015
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 20: what's happening in Taiwan and measuring everybody's response like you,

1016
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 20: and we've worked on a bipartisan basis to try to

1017
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 20: make sure that we meet the challenge of China. Lots

1018
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 20: of important pieces of legislation that have passed, but none

1019
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 20: yet to really rise to meeting those challenges. I do

1020
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 20: support the Biden administrations ongoing efforts to restrict the flow

1021
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 20: of very high end technologies, the high and ships to

1022
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 20: China that can be used in their militaryefully with our

1023
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 20: allies to do that, just like the Trump administration back

1024
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 20: in the day worked on the Huawei issue, so my

1025
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 20: view is that we need to expand that effort. We

1026
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 20: also discussed the volatile.

1027
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 4: Situation in the Middle East.

1028
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 20: You know, we often talk about the importance of shifting

1029
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 20: our focus to China and the Indo Pacific, but we

1030
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 20: always seem to get dragged back into conflicts in the

1031
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 20: Middle East. I want to start with Syria. Good riddance

1032
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 20: to the murderous Assad regime. Obviously we have a stake

1033
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 20: in what comes next in Syria. Again the fact that

1034
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 20: it's a very volatile part of the world. I support

1035
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 20: the very cautious engagement of the Biden administration with HTS,

1036
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 20: but we should acknowledge their very poisonous geniality, beginning with

1037
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 20: al Qaeda morphing in the El Nustra.

1038
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 4: The other issue, of.

1039
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 20: Course in Syria is that when you've got a situation

1040
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 20: like we see today, there are opportunities for ISIS to

1041
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 20: get further back on its feet, to provide it more oxygen.

1042
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 20: And as you know, the tip of the spear in

1043
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 20: our fight against ISIS has been our Syrian Kurdish partners,

1044
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 20: the SDF, But at this moment President Airdiwan of Turkeia

1045
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 20: has been backing attacks of the so called Syrian National Army,

1046
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 20: which Turkey largely controls, against our partners, the Syrian Kurds,

1047
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 20: which opens the door to a.

1048
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 4: Revival of ISIS.

1049
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 20: Because of the actions of the United States government, Turkey

1050
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 20: has so far paused that effort. Cenator Graham and I

1051
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 20: have introduced legislation to impose sanctions on Turkey should they

1052
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 20: renew those attacks in an aggressive way.

1053
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 4: We talked about this.

1054
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 20: I know that you recognize the importance of that partnership

1055
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 20: with the Syrian Kourags, but just a very straightforward question,

1056
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 20: do you agree that we should continue to support our partners,

1057
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 20: the SDF in the fight against ISIS.

1058
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, absolutely, Not only that, but I think we

1059
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 3: also need to recognize that there are implications to abandoning

1060
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 3: partners who have a great sacrifice and threat actually just

1061
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 3: the ISIS fighters. One of the reasons why we were

1062
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 3: able to dismantle is IS because they were willing to

1063
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,959
Speaker 3: host them in jails, a great personal threat to them,

1064
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 3: and obviously that.

1065
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 4: Situation is very tenuous.

1066
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to take up a lot of your time,

1067
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 3: but I do think it's important to respond to this

1068
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 3: opportunity in Syria because it could be opportunity. I look,

1069
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 3: the new people that are in charge there are not going.

1070
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 4: To pass an FBI background check.

1071
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 3: Okay, we recognize that these are not people we know

1072
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 3: in all about and their history, as you said, is

1073
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 3: not one that gives us comfort. Said, it is in

1074
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 3: the national interest of the United States if possible to

1075
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 3: have a Syria that's no longer a playground for isis

1076
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 3: that respects religious minorities ranging from Alois all the way

1077
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 3: to Christians, that protects the Kurds, and at the same

1078
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 3: time is not a vehicle through which Iran can spread

1079
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 3: its terrorism to Hesbalah and destabilize.

1080
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 4: Lebanon, not to mention what's happened in other parts.

1081
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 3: Not only is it in the national interests of the

1082
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 3: United States, it's in the national interests of virtually every

1083
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 3: nation state in the Middle East. To see that come about,

1084
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 3: that is worth exploring. There is an interesting dynamic at

1085
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 3: play and center posts a moment ago about the impacted sanctions.

1086
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: I would argue that the Caesar sanctions directly contributed to

1087
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 3: the downfall.

1088
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 4: Of the Assaud regime in many ways.

1089
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 3: We find ourselves in this interesting situation now where because

1090
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 3: I think is reauthorized as part of NDAA. We now

1091
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 3: have these sanctions in place against the government that no

1092
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 3: longer exists, but nonetheless it's an opportunity for us to

1093
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 3: explore how we could use that tool to removal of

1094
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 3: it and others. In fact, the territory is fertile for

1095
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 3: these outcomes. There are impediments to this that go beyond

1096
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: simply the new people in charge, and one of them

1097
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 3: is you pointed out is Erduan and what his intentions

1098
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 3: are right now is a very tenuous ceasefire with regards

1099
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 3: to the Kurds. It's important for that to be maintained.

1100
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 3: I think it's important to signal to erdw On early,

1101
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 3: including through his hearing, that there should not be they

1102
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 3: should not view a transition in power in the US

1103
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 3: as a window in which they could take advantage of

1104
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 3: to sort of violate whatever agreements were in place.

1105
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 4: Right now. We want in Syria stability.

1106
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: So that we can explore what opportunities exists to bring

1107
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 3: a different dyemic because it would have an impact on Lebanon,

1108
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 3: on Israel, on the situation in Gaza, and on the

1109
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 3: broader Middle East. And to walk away from an opportunity

1110
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 3: that I mean, I come back by the way. The

1111
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 3: Russians have been run out of there, the Iranians have

1112
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 3: been run out of there, but they are pragmatic foreign

1113
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 3: policy operators. If we don't explore these opportunities, they will

1114
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 3: work their way back in there at some point.

1115
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 20: I agree with every and you just said, and look

1116
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 20: forward to working with you on that. Let me turn

1117
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 20: to the Israeli Palestinian conflict, which we also discussed yesterday,

1118
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 20: and we all witnessed the horrific October seventh Hamas terror

1119
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 20: attacks on Israel. We've also witnessed the devastation and human

1120
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 20: rights catastrophe in Gaza.

1121
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: Like you, I've met Israeli.

1122
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 20: Families who lost loved ones on October seventh, I met

1123
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 20: with hostage families. I've also met with Palstinian families who

1124
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 20: lost kids and other innocence in this war. So I

1125
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 20: very pleased to see the announcement today of the ceasefire

1126
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 20: and the return of hostages. Let us pray that it

1127
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 20: holds and that it is implemented. But of course, as

1128
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 20: we discussed yesterday, the questions what happens next, and we

1129
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 20: all agree that Hamas can have no role in the

1130
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 20: governance of Gaza or any other place. We also know that,

1131
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 20: for all its flaws and full the Palestinian authority has

1132
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 20: recognized Israel's right to exist for the last thirty years

1133
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 20: since the Oslo Accords. Their security forces are trained by

1134
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 20: US forces. They today are fighting Palestinian militants in certain

1135
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 20: parts of the West Bank, but at the same time

1136
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 20: their funds have been restricted by the Yahoo government.

1137
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 4: Today these are the funds that belong to the PA.

1138
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 20: We've seen a record increase in the number of settlements

1139
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 20: in the West Bank, and so the PA is not

1140
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 20: able to deliver on what had been the hope of Oslo,

1141
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 20: which is self determination, security.

1142
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 4: And dignity for both Israelis.

1143
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 12: And will you commit to doing everything you can to

1144
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 12: making sure the ATF has its resources and the legal

1145
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 12: power to pursue illegal gun runners in our.

1146
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 7: Country, Senator, I will do everything in my power to

1147
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 7: prevent illegal gun runners in our country. When I left

1148
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 7: being a state prosecutor to run for Attorney General, I

1149
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 7: almost didn't run because I was working on a wire

1150
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 7: case involving illegal gun runners.

1151
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 12: The DOJ issued in twenty twenty two a use of

1152
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 12: force policy for its federal law enforcement officers. It was

1153
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 12: approved by the heads of the DEA, FBI, US Marshals

1154
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 12: and ATF, and many of them said it is actually

1155
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 12: a use of force policy that actually protects law enforcement

1156
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 12: officers as well as protects.

1157
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 4: Others from having their having their rights violated.

1158
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 12: It was also endorsed by the Fraternal Lawyer of Police

1159
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 12: and NAPO, the National Association of Police Organizations. This policy

1160
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 12: is considered best practices.

1161
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 4: In law enforcement.

1162
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 12: Will you commit to continuing this policy, Senator.

1163
01:04:45,120 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 21: I have not read the policy.

1164
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Corey Booker. Spartacus is now back to ask Pam

1165
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Bondi questions because since they're doing concurrent nominations, he has

1166
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: to bounce around as well. Let's go into Corey Booker

1167
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: with Pam BONDI place to continue.

1168
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 12: The twenty twenty one DOJ policy on these issues.

1169
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 22: I am familiar with the policy, I have not read it.

1170
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 7: I'm committed to reading it and studying it reporting back

1171
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 7: to you on that policy once again.

1172
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 4: Thank you, mister Chairman. Thank you, sir, Thank you very much.

1173
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 23: Mister Chairman's BONDI welcome congratulations in your nomination. I'm so

1174
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 23: glad that you've been nominated. As we discussed when we

1175
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 23: had the chance to meet. It was a pleasure to

1176
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 23: work with you as a state attorney general for a

1177
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,919
Speaker 23: number of years, and I'm delighted to see you here

1178
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 23: today before the committee. I look forward to your confirmation

1179
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 23: you will be confirmed. I too, have taken note of

1180
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 23: the number of times you have been asked about weaponization

1181
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 23: of the Department of Justice, as if it was a

1182
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 23: theoretical possibility that might happen in the future. One of

1183
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 23: my colleagues on the other side said, weaponization may well

1184
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 23: occur under your tenure. We all know that weaponization has

1185
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 23: occurred like we've never seen before in American history under

1186
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 23: this administration, and I want to get even more specific.

1187
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 4: In the last four years, this.

1188
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 23: Administration has carried out an unprecedented attack and campaign against

1189
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 23: people of faith. If you look at the numbers, We've

1190
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 23: never seen anything like it before in American history. It

1191
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 23: has been one of the most disgraceful chapters in the

1192
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 23: history of the Justice Department and in the history of

1193
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 23: the FBI. And I hope that you will reverse this

1194
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 23: and do right by every American citizen, including especially people

1195
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 23: of faith.

1196
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 4: Let me give you some specifics.

1197
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 23: After the Dobs case was decided by the Supreme Court.

1198
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 23: Over one hundred pregnancy care centers and over three hundred

1199
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 23: churches in this country were attacked, vandalized, firebombed. Do you

1200
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 23: happen to know off the top of your head how

1201
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 23: many prosecutions Merrick Garland's Justice Department brought in.

1202
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 4: Those cases good things. It's a stunning number.

1203
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 23: Two hundreds of churches, hundreds of pregnancy care centers. And

1204
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 23: I might just add these pregnancy care centers, the attacks

1205
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 23: on them, which were violent, which were gruesome, were egged

1206
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 23: on and encouraged by rhetoric from members of Congress, including

1207
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 23: members of this body, who have said that pregnancy care

1208
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 23: centers aren't real medicine, that they're not real doctors. They

1209
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 23: have legitimized these attacks, and the same thing was true

1210
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 23: of churches. And this Justice Department couldn't lift a finger

1211
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 23: to defend these Americans. But at the same time they

1212
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 23: use legislation, a law known as the Face Act, to

1213
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 23: prosecute at least fifty three different pro life demonstrators, including

1214
01:07:56,520 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 23: people like Mark Hauck from Pennsylvania. This Justice Department sent

1215
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 23: a swat team to his door in the early morning hours.

1216
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 23: He has I think seven children in the early morning hours,

1217
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 23: an FBI swat team shows up his door to take

1218
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 23: him into custody and prosecute him by the way he

1219
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 23: was acquitted. This kind of outrageous disparate treatment has to end.

1220
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 8: So here's my question to you.

1221
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 23: Will you protect churches and pregnancy care centers when they

1222
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 23: are targeted for violence, when they are targeted for intimidation,

1223
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 23: when their members or parishioners are threatened with violence or

1224
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 23: other acts of illegal behavior.

1225
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 22: Yes, senator.

1226
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 23: Will you stop the disparate treatment of Americans on the

1227
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 23: basis of religious faith. Will you stop the deliberate persecution

1228
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 23: of pro life Americans for nothing more than their pro

1229
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 23: life beliefs. Will you ensure that nothing like the Mark

1230
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 23: How case happens again, that Americans do not have swat

1231
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 23: teams arriving on their front doors with armed weapons to

1232
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 23: terrorize their chill chldren and their spouses, only in the end,

1233
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 23: of course, to have the case loss because there was

1234
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 23: nothing to it. Will you put an end to that

1235
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 23: kind of deliberate intimidation of the good American citizens on

1236
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 23: the basis of.

1237
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 4: Their religious police.

1238
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 23: Yes, Senator, I'm glad to hear you say that, because

1239
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 23: we need it.

1240
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,520
Speaker 8: We need it as BONDI.

1241
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 23: We need a new chapter at the Justice Department, and

1242
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 23: we need it quickly, and I'm glad you're committed to

1243
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 23: it now. I also have heard you been asked about

1244
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 23: your comment that you thought that in some cases we

1245
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 23: need to investigate the investigators, the ones who were bad.

1246
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 23: You know, I have to say, I'm glad to hear

1247
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 23: you stand by that we need to do that. You

1248
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 23: need to do that. And I'll give you another example.

1249
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 23: I'm sure you've read about this memo which I now

1250
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 23: hold in my hands, This memo that was developed by

1251
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 23: the FBI Field Office in Richmond, Virginia, twenty third January

1252
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 23: twenty twenty three, targeting Catholic parishes for spying for recruitment

1253
01:09:58,320 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 23: of infiltrators.

1254
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 4: I mean, the memo.

1255
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 23: Goes on and on and on about the FBI's plans

1256
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 23: to put assets into Catholic parishes into choirs. This is

1257
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 23: an unbelievable, unbelievable assault on America's First Amendment rights, and

1258
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 23: we only know of it because of a brave whistleblower

1259
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 23: who came forward and released it to us. And I

1260
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 23: will tell you I have never been misled and lied

1261
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 23: to like I was by the current Attorney General and

1262
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 23: the now former FBI director when they sat right where

1263
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 23: you're sitting now and told this committee, Oh, we don't

1264
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 23: know anything about it. Oh, only one field office was involved.

1265
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 23: It was the single work of a single field office

1266
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 23: and a very few individuals. As it turns out, that's

1267
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 23: not true. Multiple field offices were involved, multiple individuals were involved.

1268
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 23: Under your leadership, will you put a stop to the

1269
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 23: use of FBI or Department of Justice resources to try

1270
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 23: and recruit informants and spies into Christian churches or any

1271
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 23: church or house of where ship in this country on

1272
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 23: the basis of.

1273
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 4: Nothing more than faith.

1274
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 23: Of course, Senator, let me just say this, to our knowledge,

1275
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 23: no one who was involved in the writing and performance

1276
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 23: execution this memo has been discipline or fired. Will you

1277
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 23: conduct an investigation like you talked about as BONDI that

1278
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 23: will get to the bottom of abuses like this? And

1279
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 23: to be clear, this is an outrageous abuse. It is

1280
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 23: an outrageous abuse, one of the worst abuses a Department

1281
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 23: of Justice and FBI authority in our history. Will you

1282
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 23: conduct an investigation to find out who signed off on this,

1283
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 23: who approved it, who advocated for it, within the Department

1284
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 23: of Justice. Will you open the books on these abuses

1285
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 23: so that the American people can have confidence in their DOJ.

1286
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 7: Senator, and I think what you're talking about is the

1287
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 7: ultimate weaponization what we've been discussing all day. If I

1288
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 7: am confirmed as Attorney General, one of the first.

1289
01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 22: Things I will do.

1290
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 7: There'll be many, but I will personally read that memo

1291
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 7: and if mister Patel has confirmed, discussed it with him

1292
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 7: right away.

1293
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:07,440
Speaker 4: Fantastic.

1294
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 23: And will you work with this committee and our relevant subcommittees.

1295
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 23: I'm going to cheric a subcommittee called the Crime and

1296
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 23: Terrorism Committee. We're going to do our own investigation into

1297
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 23: what happened here at the FBI and the DOJ. Will

1298
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 23: you work with us as you discover the nature of

1299
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 23: these abuses and as you put a stop to them.

1300
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:25,759
Speaker 23: Will you work with us to make sure the American

1301
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 23: people get all the facts that this never happens again.

1302
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 7: Senator, Yes, I look forward to working with you and

1303
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 7: the Democrats. I would think this is something that we

1304
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 7: can all agree on on both sides, that this should

1305
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 7: not be happening in the United States of America and

1306
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 7: work together on it.

1307
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 4: That's fantastic.

1308
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 23: Let me ask you one other question here in mine

1309
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 23: just a few seconds that are remaining this memo. This

1310
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 23: memo targeting Catholic parishes repeatedly refers to as a as

1311
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 23: an expert source a group called the Southern Poverty Law Center. Now,

1312
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 23: the Southern Poverty Law Center has a long history as

1313
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 23: an anti religious group that has repeatedly gone after conservative

1314
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 23: and religious organizations called them hate groups, called them sometimes

1315
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 23: terrorist groups. They're cited in this memo they want. Infamously,

1316
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 23: the SPLC called the Family Research Council a terrorist hate

1317
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 23: group and an armed gunman came into their lobby and

1318
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 23: open fire.

1319
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 4: Will you put a stop.

1320
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 23: To the use of the SPLC as an official source

1321
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 23: for any Department of Justice memorandum or finding.

1322
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 7: That will be one of the first things we will

1323
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 7: look at as well, Senator, and report back to you

1324
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 7: and the committee.

1325
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Congratulations, Thank you as chairman.

1326
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay, let's head back here for a second and talk

1327
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: about rough Greens really quick. Thank you Roughgreens dot com

1328
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: slash kirk Roughgreens. They are amazing supporters of our show.

1331
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: about your beloved pets and their nutrition? Matropathic doctor Dennis

Speaker 1: Black is on a mission to provide better nutrition for

1333

1335
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: have to interrupt. Is that Adam Sshiff as a senator?

1336
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: That ruined my day? I'm sorry, I just have to

1337
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: say it. That's disgusting. That should not be a lot

1338
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 1: on TV. That should be censored. It's disgusting, which is

1339
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: why you created rough Greens and meogreens in the first place.

1340

Speaker 24: go to jail. Will you investigate Jack Smith?

1356
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:11,440
Speaker 7: Senator, I haven't seen the file. I haven't seen the investigation.

1357
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 7: I haven't looked at anything. It would be irresponsible of

1358
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 7: me to make a commitment regarding anything without You're a

1359
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 7: long practicing attorney without looking out a file.

1360
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 24: So you would need a factional You would need a

1361
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 24: factual predicate to open an investigation of Jack Smith.

1362
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 7: Is there not a summary by you sitting here, yes, sir.

1363
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 24: And not a summary by the president either, right? Absolutely so,

1364
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 24: summary by the President or his desired to investigate Jack

1365
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 24: short Bringer.

1366
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: I want to keep listening to this. She's standing up

1367
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: to that creep. Stay right there.

1368
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 25: Today.

1369
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 24: Are you aware of any factual predicate to investigate Jack

1370
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 24: Smith sitting here today?

1371
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 4: Yes or no?

1372
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,480
Speaker 7: Senator, I will look at the facts and the circumstances.

1373
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 4: You can't answer that.

1374
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 24: Question you're not a part of the department, yet there's no.

1375
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 4: Worry about divulging. I'm sitting on sensitive insormation, So just

1376
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 4: tell us. Are you aware? Tell us?

1377
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,280

Speaker 22: Senator, what I'm hearing on the news?

01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 4: Are you aware of it?

1381
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 22: Do you see I have not?

1382
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 24: You seem reluctant to answer a simple question. Let me

1383
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 24: ask you a different simple question. The President only wants

1384
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 24: to jail Liz Cheney's sitting here today. Are you aware

1385
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 24: of any factual basis to investigate Liz Cheney?

1386
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 4: Yes or no?

1387
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 7: Senator, that's a hypothetical, and I'm not going to answer.

1388
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 4: No, it's not hypothetical.

1389
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 24: I'm asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware

1390
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 24: of a factual predicate to investigate Liz Cheney.

1391
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 7: Senator, no one to investigate Liz Cheney.

1392
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 4: That is a high President has called for it publicly.

1393
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 24: You are aware of that, aren't you.

1394
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 22: No one has asked me to investigate, but the president.

1395
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 22: We're also president, be worried about Ms.

1396
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 4: Bondy.

1397
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 22: Please right now, you are aware of the route.

1398
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 4: Ms Bonny, Your robbery is.

1399
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 22: Higher than the national question is this that's what I want?

1400
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 4: Question is this, do you have the power to say

1401
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:22,759
Speaker 4: no to the president?

1402
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 24: And what you're suggesting today by your non answer is

1403
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 24: you don't have the independence to say no to the president.

1404
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 24: So let me ask you a different question. Also requires you,

1405
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 24: if you're going to be a good attorney general, to

1406
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 24: be able to tell hard truths to the president. So

1407
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 24: my questions now are can you tell hard truth to

1408
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 24: the president? So let me start with an easy truth

1409
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 24: that you could speak to the president. Can you tell

1410
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 24: us can you tell him that Donald Trump lost the

1411
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 24: twenty twenty election?

1412
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 4: Can you can you say that? Do you have the

1413
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 4: independence to say that?

1414
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,560
Speaker 24: You have the gravitas, the statue of the Testament fortitude

1415
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 24: to say, Donald Trump, you lost the twenty election?

1416
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 4: Can you tell us that here.

1417
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 7: Today, Senator, what I can tell you is I will

1418
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 7: never play politics.

1419
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 22: You're trying to engage me in a gotcha. I want

1420
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 22: to question speak truth with any ongoing.

1421
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 4: So let me ask you another you did me.

1422
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 24: If you can't answer the question, let me ask you

1423
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 24: a different What should be a simple truth, not a

1424
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 24: hard one? Was there massive fraud affecting the result of

1425
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 24: the twenty twenty election.

1426
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 4: Yes or no?

1427
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 7: Senator, I'm glad you asked that question. If you'll let

1428
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 7: me answer what I saw in Pennsylvania.

1429
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 4: No, I asked a simple question about massive.

1430
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 22: I can only tell you that I saw.

1431
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 24: I know you want to answer a different question, But

1432
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 24: my question is, can you tell us whether there was

1433
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 24: massive fraud affecting the results of the twenty twenty election?

1434
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 4: Yes? Or no?

1435
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 22: Tell you what I saw when I went.

1436
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 24: That's not That's not my question. So you can't answer

1437
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 24: that question. You can't speak that even easy true to us,

1438
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 24: let alone to the president.

1439
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 4: So let me ask you a different question.

1440
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:02,919
Speaker 24: It will also be important that you give good advice

1441
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 24: to the president. Are you prepared to advise the president

1442
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 24: not to pardon people who beat police officers?

1443
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 7: Senator, As I said, the pardons are at the direction

1444
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 7: of the president, we will look and we will advise.

1445
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 22: I will look at every case on a case. Let

1446
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 22: me finish on a case by case case goodness, and

1447
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 22: I a more violence to police office follow.

1448
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 4: Up with that.

1449
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 24: So will it be your advice to the president, Mister President,

1450
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,680

Speaker 22: On day one, I will look at every file.

1459
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 4: I am asked, will so will you advise the president?

1460
01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 4: Ask you the question?

1461
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 22: Well, my question, I would have plenty of staff. You said,

1462
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 22: of course you.

1463
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 4: Want, you'll be able to review.

1464
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 22: I'm not going to this body nor you.

1465
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 4: All right, let me ask another question. You don't want

1466
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 4: to ask that, Let me answer. You're just.

1467
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: More cow bell. Let's go more with Pam Bondy and

1468
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: mister Schiff.

1469
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:38,440
Speaker 24: A technical basis to destroy evidence in the January sixth investigation,

1470
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 24: Then why can't you answer the question?

1471
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 4: Why can't you say, I commit to.

1472
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 24: This committee we will never destroy the evidence in the

1473
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 24: January sixth investigation. Why can't you give this committee in

1474
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:49,759
Speaker 24: the American people that assurance?

1475
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 7: Are you frightened because evidence was destroyed against President Trump

1476
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 7: that was false?

1477
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:57,919
Speaker 4: Is that why difficulty? Why do you have difficulty answering

1478
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,600
Speaker 4: that question? I can't believe you as difficulty.

1479
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,600
Speaker 24: Why do have difficulty promising to preserve evidence of the

1480
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 24: Department of Justice?

1481
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 4: Why is that a difficult question?

1482
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 22: I will follow the law.

1483
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 4: It shouldn't be a difficult question.

1484
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 26: Thank you, mister Chairman, Mss Bundy. I know that you

1485
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 26: are pleased that we are to the end of round one,

1486
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 26: and we appreciate your being here, and I appreciate that

1487
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 26: you told my California colleagues you were willing to work

1488
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 26: with them, even in light of the manner in.

1489
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 4: Which they have approached you.

1490
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,640
Speaker 26: Now, one thing I think we need to have everybody

1491
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 26: understand that is watching this hearing today and everyone sitting

1492
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 26: in here, what we have witnessed over the last four

1493
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 26: years with a weaponized DOJ. My colleagues have talked about this,

1494
01:21:55,439 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 26: and the American people know this, they know what was

1495
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 26: carried out against President Trump in his administration, and in

1496
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 26: November they voted to c an end to two tiers

1497
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 26: of justice, two tiers of treatment, two tiers of access

1498
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 26: because they have absolutely had it with the lies, with

1499
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 26: the accusations, and with the attacks that have come against

1500
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 26: so many people who were just seeking to live their lives.

1501
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 26: And then all of a sudden found the FBI or

1502
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 26: another federal agency or the DOJ knocking at their door,

1503
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 26: you know, Ms Bondy. It would make you believe that

1504
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 26: my colleagues have learned nothing, nothing from the elections in November.

1505
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 26: They don't see this as a movie script that someone

1506
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 26: may have liked to write. What they see is this

1507
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 26: is real life, and they want a restoration to equal justice,

1508
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 26: equal access, equal treatment, abiding by the rule of law.

1509
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 26: Many of us have talked today about making America safe again,

1510
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 26: and in Tennessee I hear a good bit about this.

1511
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 26: And as we've discussed your nomination, one of the things

1512
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 26: I've mentioned to people is your career as a prosecutor,

1513
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 26: and you have touched on that some today and you

1514
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 26: are bringing that insight of being a prosecutor to bear

1515
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 26: and I do appreciate that.

1516
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 13: Now.

1517
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 26: One thing that I think is worthy in preparation for

1518
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 26: the hearing, I looked some of these numbers up. During

1519
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 26: President Trump's first term, violent crime in this country actually failed.

1520
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 26: It failed by seventeen percent, and in the first two

1521
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 26: years of the Biden administration it's soared by forty three percent.

1522
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 26: This is crime that is taking place in all of

1523
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 26: our communities, we've seen a rise. Whether it's California or Tennessee,

1524
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 26: we have seen a rise. So I want you to

1525
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 26: talk to Tennesseeans, to Californians, to all Americans about what

1526
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 26: you're going to do to get this crime rate down

1527
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 26: in this country.

1528
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 22: Senator, thank you for that question.

1529
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 7: And despite the questions from Senatorship, I look forward to

1530
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 7: working with you and the state of California to do

1531
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 7: everything we can to fight violent crime in California.

1532
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 22: And you know as well as.

1533
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 7: I that crime is only going to go through the

1534
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 7: roof now after these forest fires. You're going to have looting,

1535
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 7: You're going to have price gouging, You're going to have

1536
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 7: so many things that I have dealt with in the

1537
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 7: state of Florida. And I am committed to working with

1538
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 7: California just as much as I am committed to working

1539
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 7: with you, Senator Kennedy. And the tragedy that just took

1540
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 7: place in Louisiana, given all the human beings that were

1541
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 7: murdered in your state, and we have the Super Bowl

1542
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 7: coming up in less than three weeks now, I believe

1543
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 7: Senator I've been a little busy, but we've got to

1544
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 7: ensure if I'm confirmed that everyone in this country is safe,

1545
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 7: and I will work with you. I will work with you, Senator,

1546
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,919
Speaker 7: I will work with all of you in this country

1547
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 7: for everything that Senator Blackburn said. We have got to

1548
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 7: reduce violent crime, and we have got to restore our

1549
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 7: integrity to our law enforcement officers. Donald Trump, we keep saying, amazing,

1550
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 7: miss election.

1551
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Bike, She's doing wonderfully. Ten out of ten, Pam Bondy'll

1552
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: be right.

1553
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 27: Back happening in this world.

1554
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 7: But if we're not safe, none of that works. We

1555
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 7: have got to come together. We have got to work

1556
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 7: together to make America safe again, and that in turn

1557
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 7: will make America great again.

1558
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 22: And I don't know.

1559
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 7: Where that phrase has become a bad word, because I

1560
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 7: think that's a great one, making America great again.

1561
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 26: Let me move on with you to something else that's

1562
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 26: about law and order, and that is Section fifteen oh seven,

1563
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:01,480
Speaker 26: because making certain that our justices are protecting it is important,

1564
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 26: and we also with our judges. Section fifteen oh seven

1565
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 26: makes it illegal any protest outside of the judge's residence

1566
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 26: if the intent is to influence the judge's decision making.

1567
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 26: And we have heard about the protests outside of justices

1568
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 26: homes where they were shouting loud and clear things like

1569
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 26: and I'm quoting some event. If you take away our choices,

1570
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 26: we will riot quote another one. No privacy if here

1571
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:32,799
Speaker 26: or us, no peace for you in quote. In other words,

1572
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 26: if the Justices did not vote to upholl Row in casey,

1573
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 26: the protesters would continue to harass them. Despite this clear

1574
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 26: violation of the law, Merrick Garland did not bring a

1575
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 26: single charge, not one single charge under section fifteen oh seven.

1576
01:27:56,160 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 26: Will you commit to faithfully enforcing Section fifteen oh seven

1577
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:02,519
Speaker 26: as Attorney General?

1578
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 7: I will faithfully enforce that law and all laws that

1579
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 7: I am asked for you and Senator I watched that

1580
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 7: on TV and it horrified me. The protesters outside their houses.

1581
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 7: You can't do that for a reason, because our justices

1582
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 7: have to remain safe and unbiased and protected from threats

1583
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,679
Speaker 7: as do we all, but do enjoy a special protection.

1584
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 22: And yes, that should be enforced.

1585
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 26: And thank you, Mss BONDI, thank you, mister Chairman.

1586
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 28: We'll now have our second round that I announced earlier.

1587
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 4: We'll each have four minutes.

1588
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 28: When we were talking in my office, I brought up

1589
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:51,759
Speaker 28: the importance of your listening to whistleblowers and about thirty

1590
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 28: or thirty five investigations I've got under way of the

1591
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:58,719
Speaker 28: executive branch, and not just because I'm a Democrat president.

1592
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 28: Some of them are probably carryovers from Republican presidents. It's

1593
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 28: very important that the executive branch understand the cooperation that

1594
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 28: you must have with us to carry out our responsibilities,

1595
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 28: to see that the president faithfully executes the laws. And

1596
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 28: I think that too often whistleblowers, being patriotic people, they

1597
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 28: are wanting government to do what government's just supposed to do.

1598
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 28: And find something wrong, they want to report it, and

1599
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 28: they want to report it within the agency. They don't

1600
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 28: come to Congress unless they don't get any help in

1601
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 28: the executive branch. It seems to me that it's very

1602
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 28: important that you respect whistle blowers. But I've seen them

1603
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 28: treated like a skunk at a picnic.

1604
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 4: By the agency they're in.

1605
01:29:55,640 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 28: I've seen them ruin themselves professionally, see themselves. One time,

1606
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 28: an FBI agent came to me, was escorted out of

1607
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 28: headquarters with his gun and badge taken away from him,

1608
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 28: just because the laboratory there was not using science to

1609
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 28: make sure that crime was actually committed. So now we

1610
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 28: have a new forty million dollars head or science lab

1611
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 28: so that people are protected and get their constitutional rights.

1612
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 28: So will you protect whistleblowers.

1613
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 4: From retaliation and promoter culture?

1614
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 28: And I think that last thing, promoter culture is more

1615
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 28: important that value is the important contribution of whistleblowers.

1616
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 7: Yes, and Senator, I think so people fully understand the

1617
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 7: importance of whistleblowers. They have to be able to tell

1618
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:58,480
Speaker 7: the truth and come forward without fear of retaliation.

1619
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 22: And that's the perfect at the whistleblower stone.

1620
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 28: When there's retaliation, the taxpayer's money's paying for that retaliation

1621
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:12,799
Speaker 28: in most cases. The Biden Justice Department issued guidance telling

1622
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 28: prosecutors to stop charging mandatory minimums and a more laws

1623
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:22,080
Speaker 28: setting penalties on drug type had also allowed folks to

1624
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 28: pay civil and criminal fines to politicize non government, to

1625
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 28: politicize the non government organizations instead of the government treasury.

1626
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,599
Speaker 4: I put together a list of their guidance.

1627
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 28: I find it very concerning and unfair to the tax

1628
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 28: paying public, and I'd like to have you review those

1629
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 28: policies very soon.

1630

Speaker 1: Let's Listen to this good for nothing pile of stuff.

1672
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 4: Listen to him career prosecutor.

1673
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 29: That's a pretty amazing achievement in his life. But he

1674
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,080
Speaker 29: also has said and done some things which are impossible

1675
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 29: to understand and justify. For example, are you familiar with

1676
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:40,440
Speaker 29: something called the QAnon Conspiracy?

1677
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,600
Speaker 7: I have heard of it, but actually I do not

1678
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 7: know what it is.

1679
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 22: But I've heard of it many times, Senator, So.

1680
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,760
Speaker 29: Let me tell you what I've learned about it. The

1681
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 29: core belief is that a cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic child

1682
01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 29: molesters are embedded within our government and are conspiring against

1683
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 29: President like Trump. They asked mister Patel about it, and

1684
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 29: he said, quote, I agree with a lot that the

1685
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:14,720
Speaker 29: movement says, end of quote. Does that sound like a

1686
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,719
Speaker 29: good preparation to run the FBI?

1687
01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 7: Senator, I don't know anything about I Actually I had

1688
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:25,680
Speaker 7: heard of QAnon, but I've never heard that definition attached

1689
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 7: to it at all. You're going to have to ask

1690
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 7: mister Patel about those statements.

1691
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 29: We will, and I tell you, until we get answers

1692
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 29: to those questions, I don't know many people on this

1693
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 29: side of the table give him an unequivocal endorsement. This

1694
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 29: in his enemy's list, what he calls his government gangsters.

1695
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 29: This is what you expect of Stasi, This is what

1696
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,479
Speaker 29: you expect of secret police. It is not what you

1697
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 29: expect of justice in America, as you've even described it

1698
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 29: at the table today. So I would say this unequivocal

1699
01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:01,520
Speaker 29: support of mister Patel should at least have some reservation

1700
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 29: until he explained some of these outrageous positions he has taken.

1701
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 7: I look forward to hearing his testimony about QAnon in

1702
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:09,440
Speaker 7: front of this committee.

1703
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 4: You will.

1704
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 29: Let me say another word about January sixth and what happened.

1705
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:20,839
Speaker 29: We lived through it, many of us. We'll never forget

1706
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 29: it to think that the United States of America's Capitol

1707
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 29: building were desecrated by an insurrectionist mob that came in

1708
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 29: and did horrible things, particularly to our police force that

1709
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 29: keeps you safe as you sit there, and keeps us

1710
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 29: safe every single day. Over one hundred of them were

1711
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 29: attacked by these demonstrators. One Kenneth Bonowitz, a member of

1712
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 29: the so called Proud Boys, another al Right group, assaulted

1713
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 29: at least six officers, placed one in a choke hold

1714
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 29: and lifted him up in the neck. Bonowitz injured one

1715
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 29: officer so severely he had to retire. Kyle Fitzsimmons convicted

1716
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 29: for five separate ass against law enforcement, including one that

1717
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 29: caused a career enduring, ending, and life altering injury to

1718
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 29: US Capitol Police Sergeant at Coelino Ganel. Can you understand

1719
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 29: why when Donald Trump says the day I am inaugurated

1720
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 29: as president, I will issue a blanket pardon to these

1721
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 29: quote political prisoners, we view this with an outrage on

1722
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 29: our side. These men and women risk their lives for

1723
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 29: us every day, and they almost died. Some of them

1724
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,719
Speaker 29: did die in the course of this attack. Why aren't

1725
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 29: we treating them as such? And why do you have

1726
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 29: to reserve judgment? Vice President Vanceton, when he was asked

1727
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 29: this week he shouldn't he said, pardon shouldn't be should

1728
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 29: not be extended to those who were guilty of violence

1729
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 29: against policemen.

1730
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:46,719
Speaker 7: And Senator I do not agree with violence against anyone,

1731
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:52,799
Speaker 7: but especially police officers. And every time I've been walking

1732
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 7: through these halls meeting with all of you, the men

1733
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 7: and women of the Capitol Police Department are incredible.

1734
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 22: They do a great job.

1735
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:04,679
Speaker 7: They deserve to be safe, and I do not agree

1736
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 7: with vilence against any police officer.

1737
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 22: I would hope I never have.

1738
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 29: Senator, you weren't able to answer my question affirmatively earlier,

1739
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 29: but I would hope that if this moves forward in

1740
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 29: a positive way in your nomination, you will speak up

1741
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 29: at some point on behalf of these police officers and

1742
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 29: keeping you safe today and your family safe.

1743
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 4: Thank you?

1744
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 28: Okay, before Senator Graham, I want to enter into the record,

1745
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 28: without objection, from the members of this committee, letters from

1746
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 28: law enforcement groups who support Miss Bondy's nomination. These groups

1747
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:43,520
Speaker 28: include the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Sheriff's Association,

1748
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 28: the National Association of Police Organizations.

1749
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 4: They praise her.

1750
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 28: Quote support for law enforcement, crime prevention, and public safety,

1751
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 28: and to quote without objection, it's ordered.

1752
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1753
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,559
Speaker 25: Well, I've been going for a while, so they're asking

1754
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 25: you about cash, but till it must be going pretty well.

1755
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,400
Speaker 22: You didn't miss anything, Senator, that.

1756
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:10,480
Speaker 4: Is just an observation.

1757
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 25: So anyway, thanks to my colleagues on democratic side, it

1758
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 25: has been a good hearing and a couple of things.

1759
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 4: Pardons.

1760
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 25: If somebody applies for pardon, you will give the president

1761
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 25: legal advices whether or not eacha granted.

1762
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 4: Is that the way the system works?

1763
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 22: Yes, Senator, Okay, so.

1764
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 25: Rather than prejudging what you would do, you would look

1765
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:37,759
Speaker 25: at the application and give him your best advice.

1766
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 4: And you don't like people beat up cups.

1767
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 22: Correct I hope no one does.

1768
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 25: Yeah, Okay, fair enough, So let's just get back to

1769
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 25: the process.

1770
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 7: I'm not going to speak for the President, but the

1771
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 7: President does not like people that abuse police officers either.

1772
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1773
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 25: Well, the hope is that through this pardon process, you'll

1774
01:39:56,840 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 25: make a rational decision based on the applicant, rather than

1775
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 25: deciding the outcome in a Senate hearing.

1776
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:05,679
Speaker 4: That's all I'm asking.

1777
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 25: That's what I would want, if you know I represented somebody, I'd.

1778
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 4: Want to at least be heard now Section two thirty.

1779
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 4: Are you familiar with it?

1780
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 22: Yes, Senator.

1781
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 25: One thing that unites this committee is protecting children and

1782
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 25: society at large from social media abuse. We passed online

1783
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 25: privacy legislation. Senator Durbin has been great to work with everybody,

1784
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 25: Clover ch Are. We're all trying to find out how

1785
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 25: to empower people who.

1786
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 4: May be victims of social media.

1787
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 25: What do you to empower a parent whose child's been

1788
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 25: bullied when you call the social media platform and they

1789
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 25: blow you off. You go to court and they kick

1790
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:51,719
Speaker 25: you out of court. Because of Section two thirty sexual

1791
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 25: exploitation of children on the Internet, we've heard stories that

1792
01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 25: make us just break our hearts. We're united of trying

1793
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,799
Speaker 25: to give people say if they take your content down, you're.

1794
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 4: Appealing to the people who made.

1795
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 25: The decision to take your content down. So what I

1796
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 25: want to do long Center Holly everybody is repeal Section

1797
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 25: two thirty or replace it with a system that empowers

1798
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 25: consumers who may have been hurt.

1799
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 7: Do you agree with that, Senator, I would love to

1800
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 7: look at that with you.

1801
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 22: I'm not familiar with what you want to do on

1802
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:26,800
Speaker 22: the issue.

1803
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 7: I've talked to Senator Clovishar I think Senator Durbin and

1804
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 7: I may have even discussed it.

1805
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 22: But I'm committed to looking at that with you.

1806
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 7: There are so many issues online that that's one of

1807
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 7: the things. We have to find things that can bring

1808
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 7: us together now and this has to be one of them.

1809
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 22: Well, just connecting our children.

1810
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:51,560
Speaker 25: Here's what FBI director said, Ray where you agree with

1811
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,599
Speaker 25: them not I agree with this. I see blinking lights

1812
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:58,120
Speaker 25: everywhere turn Regarding the national security threats.

1813
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 4: Does that make sense to you.

1814
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 7: Yes, Senator I was looking at that the date of

1815
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 7: that that was a year ago. Yes, Senator I also

1816
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 7: heard about I haven't seen it yet his sixty minutes interview.

1817
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,360
Speaker 7: That was very troubling to me for our country.

1818
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 25: Right, we know we found a gas from Tajika stand

1819
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 25: a release caught again, cost were tied to ISIS. So

1820
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 25: the point I'm trying to make is January twentieth, we

1821
01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 25: own this. I just urge you, to the extent you

1822
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 25: can to urge the president to secure that border. We

1823
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 25: need money. Idea of moving money around from defense is

1824
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 25: not going to cut it. We need a lot of

1825
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 25: money for bedspace, to finish the wall, to technology, hire

1826
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:45,640
Speaker 25: ice agents to accelerate deportation of people who are criminals

1827
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 25: and gang members.

1828
01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 4: We don't have time to waste. I hope you'll make.

1829
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 25: That an urgency because the threat is real. Are you

1830
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 25: worried about an attack on our homeland being generated from

1831
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 25: ISIS or their affiliates and what should we do about it?

1832
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 7: Senator I don't have a security clearance yet, but only

1833
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 7: from the public reporting that I've seen, I'm terrified.

1834
01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 6: Senator white House, thank you, Chairman, I'm going to try

1835
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 6: to fit in two questions in my four minutes. Lindsay

1836
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 6: stick around. I'm gonna say something nice about you. First,

1837
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 6: Yes to two thirty. We've got to really work on that.

1838
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 6: There's a lot of support for fixing two thirty, in fact,

1839
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 6: outright repealing two thirty in this committee. First question, presumably

1840
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 6: your commitment to fairly enforcing the law based on facts

1841
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:47,879
Speaker 6: and evidence would also apply to environmental cases. Yes, Senator,

1842
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 6: I'm concerned because you know, under Trump, criminal prosecutions for

1843
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:58,639
Speaker 6: pollution dropped sharply in his first term, and you will

1844
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 6: be running an i'm a natural resources division that has

1845
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 6: things like, for instance, a methane task force that big

1846
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:10,720
Speaker 6: polluters who spent big money to get President Trump reelected

1847
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,639
Speaker 6: don't like, and they're going to be coming to you

1848
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 6: to say, hey, we don't want a whole lot of

1849
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:22,240
Speaker 6: enforcement on this. Methane leaks, carbon dioxide leaks. It's a

1878
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:02,000
Speaker 6: My Senator Rayham, there was a committee investigation into Crossfire Hurricane.

1879
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 6: During that Crossfire Hurricane investigation, box loads of material was

1880
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 6: provided by the Department and the Bureau to Senate Republicans.

1881
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 4: They got files, they.

1882
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 6: Got investigative reports, they got internal memos, they got stuff that.

1883
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 4: Would not be foyaable. They really were able to do

1884
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 4: a deep.

1885
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 6: Dive because they got everything they asked for, even stuff

1886
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 6: that the FBI would ordinarily not produce.

1887
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 4: That was happening on that side of the aisle. For me,

1888
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 4: I had.

1889
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 6: Questions about Justice Kavanaugh's supplemental background investigation, and I asked

1890
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:49,679
Speaker 6: for things like what is the Department of Justice policy

1891
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:55,600
Speaker 6: for how tip lines work? That's a foyaable question. I

1892
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,920
Speaker 6: didn't get a single piece of paper. I asked for

1893
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 6: things like what are the ground rules for investigations of

1894
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 6: supplemental background investigations.

1895
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:07,799
Speaker 4: I didn't get a single piece of paper.

1896
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 6: Senator Graham called the Deputy Attorney General up into his

1897
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 6: office to say, will you guys please knock it off

1898
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:17,800
Speaker 6: and give this guy some information.

1899
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 4: So I have lived the example of.

1900
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:27,840
Speaker 6: If you're a Republican on this committee in a Republican administration,

1901
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:31,640
Speaker 6: you get everything you asked for and more, And if

1902
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 6: you're a Democrat you get z Row. That was not

1903
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 6: a great moment for me and not a great moment

1904
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 6: for the Department. And so I will take the Chairman

1905
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 6: at his word that he wants the Department to be

1906
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:48,559
Speaker 6: responsive to requests from all of us. And I would

1907
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 6: ask you, will you be responsive to all of us,

1908
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 6: irrespective of our party affiliation, if we are asking legitimate

1909
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 6: questions that you have the power to answer.

1910
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:02,519
Speaker 7: Senator, I think I've said that from the beginning. Yes,

1911
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 7: especially on Freedom of Information Act. I will follow the

1912
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:08,160
Speaker 7: laws that apply to the Freedom of Information Act. I

1913
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 7: believe in that. I actually dealt with pub the public

1914
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:12,640
Speaker 7: records when I was a state prosecutor. It's been so

1915
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 7: long ago i'd forgotten about that.

1916
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm just.

1917
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 6: One sort of point of order here. The Freedom of

1918
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 6: Information Act process is one thing. Anybody can get information

1919
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 6: under the Freedom of Information A process.

1920
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 4: As senators, we should be able to do better than that.

1921
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 6: When we're doing worse than that, that's a sign that

1922
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:31,040
Speaker 6: somebody is hiding something. When we're doing better than that,

1923
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 6: that's a good thing for Congressional oversight.

1924
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 4: Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Senator tail Us.

1925
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 7: Can we take a minute off Senator Shift since I'm

1926
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:40,640
Speaker 7: joking since he took an extra minute, I'm joking.

1927
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 4: Yes, you can. You wanted to say something to Senator Shift.

1928
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 7: No, sir, I asked if we could take a minute

1929
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 7: off Senator Shift since Senator Whitehouse I was.

1930
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 20: Teasing Senator tails Thank you, Miss Chairman, Miss Body.

1931
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 14: I wanted to come back, and I'm glad I did

1932
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,240
Speaker 14: because I got another mark on my BINGO card.

1933
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 4: QAnon came up. It's a little known.

1934
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 14: Fact, but the so called I think I heard someone

1935
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:13,639
Speaker 14: say that.

1936
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody, welcome back. Email us is always freedom At

1937
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 1: Charliekirk dot com. We'll be heading to DC soon doing

1938
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 1: all of our shows live from the Imperial Capital. Let's

1939
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 1: zoom a little on Senator Rubio, who's receiving a question

1940
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:46,639
Speaker 1: from I can't see who he's getting a question from there.

1941
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a Democrat just based on the camera angle.

1942
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 1: So let's listen. Oh yeah, I think that's from Hawaii.

1943
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:59,680
Speaker 30: And protecting Hong Kong dissidents as we work together on

1944
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:03,559
Speaker 30: some legislation. Now, in a twist of events, I sit

1945
01:50:03,720 --> 01:50:06,519
Speaker 30: not far from where you once sat, and there's another

1946
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:09,679
Speaker 30: symbolic feet six hundred feet between us, between the State

1947
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 30: Department and the Senate. And I'm excited to work with

1948
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:15,559
Speaker 30: you in your new role, and I would like to

1949
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 30: continue to be win that you're back on a lot

1950
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:21,080
Speaker 30: of issues, and none more important to me than China.

1951
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 30: And if you remember reading nothing else about our short

1952
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 30: interchange today, please know that that's very important to me

1953
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 30: and I hope to work with you on what I do.

1954
01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 4: The aggression and in many.

1955
01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 30: Ways their global push for military and economic supremacy, and

1956
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 30: I think is a threat in many ways.

1957
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 4: China is imposing.

1958
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 30: It's what they call China One principle on the world,

1959
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:48,880
Speaker 30: which is very different.

1960
01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 1: Than the Senator Curtis from.

1961
01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 4: Your China policy.

1962
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 30: Could you kind of describe how we can push back

1963
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:56,880
Speaker 30: on that and how we need to make sure we're

1964
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:58,080
Speaker 30: shaping that conversation.

1965
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and well, the first is to understand that.

1966
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:03,679
Speaker 3: The one China policy is in the US policy towards

1967
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:08,599
Speaker 3: the issue of Taiwan has been consistent and reaffirmed by

1968
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 3: every administration since nineteen seventy nine, and it is the

1969
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 3: combination of the Taiwan Relations Act with the Six Assurances

1970
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 3: that may clear the United States We're not going to

1971
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 3: pressure Taiwan in any arrangement. We're not going to tell

1972
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:22,320
Speaker 3: you when we're going to stop. If ever, We've made

1973
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:24,679
Speaker 3: no commitment to not helping them in the national defense.

1974
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 3: We're not going to force any outcomes, and frankly, we

1975
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 3: are going to do everything when we reject any effort

1976
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 3: to coerce, intimidate, and or forcibly drive Taiwan to do

1977
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:37,639
Speaker 3: whatever China wants them to do.

1978
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:39,719
Speaker 4: And that's been our position that will continue.

1979
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 3: That was the position under President Trump's first administration, anticipate

1980
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 3: will continue to be in the second administration. I think

1981
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 3: within that context, it's important for us to find every

1982
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:53,240
Speaker 3: opportunity possible to allow Taiwan to engage in international forums

1983
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 3: where important issues are discussed and they're not represented. Irrespective

1984
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 3: of what China claims about one China principle, they're not represented,

1985
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:01,439
Speaker 3: and so.

1986
01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 4: The view need to be need to be made. They

1987
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 4: need to have an.

1988
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 3: Opportunity in these forms to be made clear, but I

1989
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:10,720
Speaker 3: think stability is critically important. Here's the one thing I

1990
01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:13,200
Speaker 3: would point to here with regards to stability.

1991
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 4: If the Chinese are in.

1992
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:19,679
Speaker 3: Fact serious about stabilizing US China relations and finding avenues

1993
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:22,599
Speaker 3: of which we can be cooperated and avoid conflict, then

1994
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:25,720
Speaker 3: they will not do anything rash or irrational when it

1995
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 3: comes to Taiwan or.

1996
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:28,000
Speaker 4: The Philippines for that matter.

1997
01:52:28,680 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 3: The actions they are taking now are deeply destabilizing. They're

1998
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:34,560
Speaker 3: forcing us to take counteractions because we have commitments to

1999
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 3: the Philippines and we have commitments to Taiwan that we

2000
01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 3: intend to keep. And so if they want to destabilize

2001
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,400
Speaker 3: the relationship or they want to help at least create

2002
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,720
Speaker 3: some pathway for stabilization of our relationship with them, even

2003
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 3: as we remain engaged in global competition and in some

2004
01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 3: cases more adversarial than others, they really need to stop

2005
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 3: messing around with Taiwan and with the Philippines, because it's

2006
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,800
Speaker 3: forcing us to focus on attention in ways we prefer

2007
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 3: not to have.

2008
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:04,879
Speaker 30: As a matter of interest, I actually lived in Taiwan

2009
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 30: in August nineteen seventy nine, three months after that act

2010
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:08,640
Speaker 30: that you referred to and.

2011
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 4: I think you're very accurate.

2012
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 30: I think for a minute about Europe, and there's some

2013
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:17,439
Speaker 30: countries it feels like in Europe because of their presence Poland,

2014
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 30: Czech Republic and Balitics that are more in tune with

2015
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 30: this issue, But as a whole, it feels like some

2016
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 30: European nations are in denial of some of the things

2017
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 30: you've just said. You talk a little bit about how

2018
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:30,599
Speaker 30: we work with our natal friends over there and how

2019
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 30: we get them to appreciate this and actually play a

2020
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 30: part in this.

2021
01:53:34,600 --> 01:53:36,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think in the case of NATO, I think

2022
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:39,240
Speaker 3: I would expand it to really talk about the European

2023
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 3: Union and the EU, which I think is increasingly every

2024
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 3: single day climbing to the realization of the threat that China. Okay,

2025
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 3: everybody with policies and unfair trade policies are opposing for them,

2026
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 3: they are flooding.

2027
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: What an amazing series of hearings, and President Trump's nominees

2028
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 1: just did a phenomenal job, and during some complete nonsense

2029
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 1: from the Democrats, as you can start to see, the

2030
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:04,400

2033
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:16,439
Speaker 1: across the board in a very powerful and significant way.

2034
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 1: An underappreciated fact of all this is how the Senate

2035
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 1: is doing concurrent simultaneous nominations. President Trump is going to

2036
01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:29,960

2038
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 1: ready to rock and they're ready to roll. By the way,
