But the rest of the 14 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 3: TSA is still facing a shutdown and the Democrats are 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 3: showing no sign of budget.

We're also going to talk 17 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 3: to you about the reason that happened, which is we're 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 3: going to step back and take a look at Ai 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: and ask Ai a very simple question, how do you 20 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: destroy a country? How do you destroy a country from 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: inside without a war? And we're going to see what 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: Ai tells us, and that in turn will lead us 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: to the No King's Protest, which spoiler alert, is one 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 3: of the answers to how you destroy a country? This 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: fake No King's protest all across the country funded by billionaires, 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: communists and left wing activists. We're gonna break it down. 27 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you the receipts who is paying for 28 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: this and ask a simple question, what is their objective? 29 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: All of that on Today's Verdict. 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a really interesting one to say the least. 31 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: One to also talk to you about your dollars and 32 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: where you spend them. And there is one bill that 33 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: almost every one of you has. It is a cell 34 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: phone bill. But did you know there's a conservative cell 35 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: phone provider out there that actually gives back to conservative 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: causes every time you pay your bill. It is called 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. And people ask me all the time how 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: good is the coverage because you want to stay with 39 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the big mobile companies. I've been saying now for years, 40 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: and they've been in business for well over a decade, 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: that it is amazing coverage. If you've got coverage right now, 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: you love You're gonna love your coverage of Patriot Mobile 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: even more. But you get of the woke left agenda. 44 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: So if you're worried about coverage, don't be. Now why 45 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: should you switch to Patriot Mobile. Not only are you 46 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: probably gonna save real money every month, but then the 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: magic happens. A portion of your bill every month goes 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: back to support conservative causes, candidates, organizations that fight for 49 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of 50 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: unborn children, and they do something that's really special. They 51 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: stand with our men and women in uniform, whether it's 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: police officers or law law enforcement in general, or our 53 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: men and women that fight for this country overseas. They 54 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: stand with our wounded warriors and our fallen families who've 55 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: lost a loved one, so that there is the financial 56 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: need and aid that is needed. So that's why I 57 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: want you to switch to Patriot Mobile, because every time 58 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: you pay that bill, you're making a real difference.

Are 69 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: things getting better from what you saw? And where are 70 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: we with his government shutdown? Because everybody is looking at 71 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: the airports like it's the worst place. 72 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: In the world. You don't want to go. 73 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, the good news is on Saturday, I was up 74 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: in Dallas at Seapack. I flew back to Houston Saturday 75 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: night at DFW there were essentially no lines. The TSA 76 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: lines were empty Houston when I landed the lines I 77 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: landed at Terminal A and there were no lines in 78 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: Houston at Bush. Now Bush and Atlanta have been the 79 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 3: two worst airports for the delays, and that's something when 80 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: this is all said and done, one of the things 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: that I'm going to want to sit down with TSA 82 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: and figure out why things were so much worse in 83 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: Houston at Bush Airports than they were in other airports. 84 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: But at least Saturday night, when we landed from Dallas, 85 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: the line in Houston was way way down. My daughter 86 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: Catherine is is landing at Bush Sunday night tonight at 87 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: nine pm, So we'll see what the lines are when 88 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: she lands. 89 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: But the lines missed, right, didn't she miss the fight? 90 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 4: She did? 91 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: She she waited four hours Thursday night in line at Bush, 92 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: missed her flight, and then had to get up early 93 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: Friday morning, waited another four hours and then got on 94 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: her flight. She's spending the weekend with a friend and 95 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: and then coming back coming back tonight. Look, these delays 96 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: have been infuriating, but you know, if you go back 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: and look at the last podcast we did, the podcast. 98 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 4: We did late late Thursday night. 99 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: We did the podcast at three in the morning Thursday night, 100 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: Friday morning. 101 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: I'm sure recovering, by the way, but keep going. 102 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 4: It was an interesting example. 103 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 3: And by the way, the reason we had done it 104 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: so late is actually Thursday night, I was speaking at 105 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: a Faith and Freedom gathering in Pittsburgh, and it was 106 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: great that you had probably five hundred Christian activists who 107 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 3: were fighting to save our countries. A terrific evening. But 108 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: when I finished the event, I need to get back 109 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: to DC. And given how unreliable the airports, were. We 110 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: decided to drive from Pittsburgh back to d C, and 111 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: so we left at about nine pm. From Pittsburgh. Ordinarily 112 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: that's about a three hour drive. It was raining, the 113 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: weather was not good, so it took us five hours 114 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: to get from Pittsburgh back to d C. I show 115 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: up at our DC apartment just after two am, and 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 3: you and I sit down and did the podcast. 117 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: See, I thought you were just trying to haze me 118 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: that night because you knew how tired I was from 119 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: the day of driving to Dallas. I was like, I 120 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: guess he's just messling with So you really were in 121 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: the car for five hours? 122 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 4: All right? Yeah? 123 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: I drove further than you did for the same reason 124 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: because the airports, with all the chaos, it was just unreliable. 125 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: I didn't want to have to count on that to 126 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: get back, so we decided to drive. But I will say, 127 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: as we were recording the podcast late Thursday night early 128 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 3: Friday morning, that's when the Senate passed the bill that 129 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: funded all of TSA or and funded all of DHS, 130 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: but carved out ICE and carved out six million dollars 131 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 3: from CBP. And in fact, in the middle of the pod, 132 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 3: I looked and said, oh, wow, okay, it just passed 133 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: the Senate. And the reason I did that is that 134 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: you had John Thune who went to the floor at 135 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: like two thirty in the morning and called for a 136 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 3: voice vote and there are only a half dozen senators 137 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 3: on the floor. That was an agreement both sides had 138 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: reached to let it pass. Well, we said at the time, 139 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: we weren't sure how things were going to play out. 140 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 4: And Friday that illustrated to be the case. 141 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 3: Because the House came back and House Republicans were pissed. 142 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 4: They were really really angry, like not. 143 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: Even a little bit a lot. 144 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: Like I was talking to some of them and they 145 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: were like, they were like, you guys, think this is 146 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: going to fly with us, It won't. 147 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 2: So explain mad and where it is now. 148 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, they were volcanically mad. And part of it 149 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 3: is House Republicans have not been dealing with Senate Democrats 150 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: for the last forty four days, and so House Republicans' 151 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: views were it is ridiculous, it is objectively insane to 152 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: defund ice and to cut the funding for CBP, And 153 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: they're absolutely right, it is. It is reckless, it is dangerous, 154 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: it is a lunatic policy that for the entire history 155 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: of the Republic never would have happened except right now. Yeah, 156 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: And what I will say is Senate Democrats they are 157 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: so angry, they hate Trump so much. My view, and 158 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: we've been talking about this in the pod for two weeks, 159 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised with where we ended up, and I 160 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: think it's where we will end up being because in 161 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: my view, I believe the Democrats will never again vote 162 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: to fund ice forever for a year, for five years, 163 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: for ten years. That they are just to know and 164 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: they do not care if they shut down on law enforcement. 165 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: They want open borders, they don't want criminals deporter, they 166 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: don't want murderers deported. 167 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: They're just a hard no. 168 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: And so what I was arguing to my colleagues, look, 169 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: this is an unbelievably dangerous and indefensible position. It also 170 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: happens to be reality. They're not going to move. So 171 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: what I said is, all right, let's fund everything they'll 172 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: go along with. But I'm not saying surrender. And in fact, 173 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: I'm saying, let's go on offense. Let's fund everything they're 174 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: willing to fund, and then let's immediately take up a 175 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: Reconciliation bill. Can We don't need Democrat votes to do that. 176 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: And what I have argued to my colleagues is let's 177 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: fund ICE for ten years. Ten years is the maximum 178 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: budget window you can do. And I've urged let's not 179 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 3: just do it at current levels, Let's up the funding 180 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 3: by ten percent. So Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer are 181 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: right now crowing to the left. Ha ha, we got 182 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 3: everyone to defund ice. Look how successful we are. I 183 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 3: want to say, stick it where the suns don't shine. Yeah, 184 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: the effect of your ridiculousness is you increased funding for 185 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 3: ICE by ten percent and got it funded for ten years. 186 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: That's actually going on offense. That's the case that I 187 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 3: made to my colleagues. By the way, the White House 188 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: was fully part of those negotiations and agreed, which is 189 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: why the Senate did what it did. 190 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 4: But the House has. 191 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: Not been banging into the reality that the Democrats are 192 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: just not going to move. 193 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 4: They don't care. 194 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: And so yeah, I mean they're obsessed with defunding ICE. 195 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: That is a victory for them as you describe it. 196 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: There is no negotiating and you're right, they want to 197 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: destroy anybody that has a badge and the power, and in 198 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: they thowy they have for law and order. This is 199 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: the same party, by the way, that was defund the 200 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: police and let everybody out of jail with prison reform, 201 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: and then they said, well, we want cashless bail for 202 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: people based on how much might they have, even if 203 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: they've committed murder or their rapists. They wanted to completely 204 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: undermine every part of law and order in this country, 205 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: and Ice just falls right into that. 206 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 4: That's right. 207 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 3: And the House Republicans had a visceral, emotional, completely understandable 208 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: reaction of this is indefensible, and so they passed a 209 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: bill that just funds everything. 210 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 4: That bill, unfortunately, will go nowhere. 211 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 3: We voted on that bill I think eight separate times, 212 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: and the Democrats voted it down every time. So the 213 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 3: effect of the House saying no, TSA will be funded 214 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: because the President signed an executive order to fund them. 215 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: But the effect of the House saying no is the 216 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 3: Coastguard is still not getting its paychecks. 217 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: Okay, so give it the list. 218 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: So Coastguard and FEMA Coast Guard disasters saying terrible happens 219 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: right now, they've got nothing coming right. 220 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: Uh, Secret Service, the people that we asked, if someone 221 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: tries to kill the president, put your body in front 222 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: of the bullet and die for the president. Secret Service 223 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 3: is not getting their paycheck right now, DHS, the Office 224 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: is cyber Terrorism, that the offices that deal with with bioterrorism, 225 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: the people charged with preventing a terrorist attack, are not 226 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: getting paid. And it's why in the face of just 227 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: the Democrat insanity. And by the way, we've had four 228 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: major terror attacks in the last three weeks, all from 229 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: radical Islamic terrorists. So the idea that we're defunding the 230 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: department that prevents terrorist attacks and fights against them, it 231 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 3: is a level of recklessness that I've never seen. And 232 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: so I get the House's reaction, But the consequences of 233 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 3: saying we're not going to vote for the deal that 234 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: the White House negotiated with Schumer. Understand, it was the 235 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: White House that cut this deal. It was the White 236 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 3: House that was the point, the negotiating point back and 237 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 3: forth with Schumer. House Republicans were mad about it. But 238 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 3: the consequence of that is Coast guardsmen in Secret Service 239 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: and FEMA are not getting their paycheck, and unless something 240 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: significant changes, they're not going to get their paycheck. 241 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: For another two weeks. 242 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: So we're not going to see lines at airports, but 243 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: we're going to have coastguardsmen who are risking their lives 244 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: to rescue people, to stop drug smugglers and human smugglers 245 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: who don't know how they're going to pay their rent, 246 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: don't know how they're going to pay their mortgage, who 247 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: were going to food pantries to feed their kids, and 248 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: not a Democrat cares. 249 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 4: And so it's h The good news on ICE and CBP. 250 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 3: Is we pre funded both of those back last year 251 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 3: when we did the big reconciliation bill. 252 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: And by the way, thank goodness you guys did that. 253 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: Was that preempted because you had a feeling this could 254 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: happen or was that you know, kind of done. 255 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: With Yes, No, it was preemptive. We knew they were 256 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 3: getting more and more extreme. I don't think we fully 257 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: realized how bad it was. We had not yet focused 258 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: on their just absolute refusal to fund ICE and they 259 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: don't care about the consequences. But we funded four years 260 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: of ICE and CBP because we could see that that 261 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 3: was going to be a problem, Which means if the 262 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: House had passed the bill that the White House that 263 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: negotiated was set at Democrats. The President would assigned it, 264 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,359 Speaker 3: he said he would assigned it, and all of DHS 265 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: except ICE and parts of CBP would be funded. And 266 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: those parts of ICE and CBP we're already funded. It's 267 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: why the White House was willing to do it, because 268 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: they're like, oh, we've got all the. 269 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 4: Money we need for right now. 270 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: So even though the Democrats talking point is we defunded ICE, yeah, 271 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: they wouldn't have taken a penny away from ICE. And 272 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: we've already started the reconciliation process. We are going to 273 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: fund ICE and CBP for the next ten years. But 274 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: right now, unfortunately, we just crossed So forty four days 275 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: is the longest government shutdown in American history. The old 276 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: record was the Schumer shut down right before election day 277 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: last year that was forty three days. So we've now 278 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: crossed the line. And unless something dramatically changes, this will 279 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: continue at least another two weeks. 280 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, another two weeks, and that's the part that I 281 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: think so many Americans are frustrated about. But like you said, 282 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: the lines though, will go down during that next two 283 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: week period. 284 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: Yes, but it may take some time. Remember we've had 285 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 3: about five. 286 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, So what are you being told? 287 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: And if you talked to you know who's in charge 288 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: train station secretary and others at Home Wind Security. 289 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: You've got Mark Wayne there. 290 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: Now, I mean the idea of this is going to 291 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: just get instantly fixed overnight, that's not reality. You mentioned it. 292 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Five hundred plus agents have quit. 293 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've quit their manpower shortages. Now, I will say 294 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: I've been in multiple airports there are ICE agents. One 295 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: of the things President Trump did is put ICE agents 296 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: in the airports. They're helping speed things along. You know 297 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: what I saw in the Houston Airport, in the Dallas 298 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: Airport and the DC Airport was as people were walking along, 299 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 3: they were stopping and saying thank you to the ICE agents. 300 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: It's causing some real problems the Democratic agend. 301 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm glad the President did it because 302 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: it also humanizes ICE agents and shows that they're Americans 303 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: just like you and I are, who love their country 304 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: and want to protect and defend their country, and they're 305 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: willing to serve. 306 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: Can I make a point also that is an aside, 307 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: but it's worth pausing and reflecting. Yeah, do you remember 308 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: thirteen years ago when I was a brand new baby Senator, 309 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: and one of the very first things I did was 310 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: a twenty one hour filibuster against Obamacare. Yeah, the end 311 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: of September twenty thirteen, and it led to an extended 312 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: government shutdown. I was Harry Reid who forced the shutdown. 313 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: But if you remember, the press demonized me for that shutdown, 314 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: I mean just relentlessly pouted the. 315 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 4: Hell out of me. 316 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: Yes, what I was trying to do regarding Obamacare in 317 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen is what Chuck Schumer just did concerning ICE 318 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 3: and CBP. And great point the difference, there is a 319 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: difference when I led the fight against Obamacare. 320 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 4: You know who led the fight against me? 321 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 2: Who was that? 322 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell and Republican leadership. 323 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: Oh that yeah, you were an outsider then, for sure, 324 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: that's right. I remember they didn't like you very much. 325 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: You were understating it by a billion songs. 326 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: Okay, they hated your guns, and they wish the Democrat 327 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: would beat you. Basically at that point, I'm being honest. 328 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: I that's that I'm. 329 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: Doubted not crazy, undoubtedly right. And in fact, in twenty thirteen, 330 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: we had more leverage, we had more official control than 331 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: the Democrats do now. So in twenty thirteen, we had 332 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: control of the House of Representatives and the Democrats had 333 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 3: control of the Senate. In the White House. Right now 334 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: the Democrats have none. They don't have the Senate, they 335 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: don't have the House, they don't have the White House. 336 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 3: So Republicans were in a stronger position in twenty thirteen 337 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: than Democrats are today, just in terms of the bodies 338 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: they control and what I argued. In fact, if you 339 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: look at twenty thirteen, I made the case to House Republicans, 340 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 3: fund all of the government, but do not fund Obamacare. 341 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 3: And House Republicans agreed with me. They did exactly that. 342 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: So I encouraged House Conservatives to stand up. Millions of 343 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 3: Americans picked up the phone and called their members of Congress, 344 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: and House Republicans in twenty thirteen stood strong funded all 345 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: of government but not Obamacare. 346 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: Yep. 347 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: And when it went to the Senate, the case I 348 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 3: made to my colleagues, I said, here's a crazy idea, 349 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: how about Senate Republicans support House Republicans And Mitch McConnell 350 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: and Senate leadership not only did not do so, it 351 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: was Republican leadership that went on TV pounding me and 352 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: repeating Harry Reid's talking points, and I just want to say, 353 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 3: look the difference between today and then, as Chuck Schumer 354 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 3: and the Democrats stood together, you didn't have Chuck Schumer 355 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 3: taking a flamethrower to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. You 356 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: had him just standing united. And it showed what I 357 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 3: argued in twenty thirteen could have happened. And by the way, 358 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 3: their argument was, how will Barack Obama possibly make any 359 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 3: concessions on his signature legislative achievement Obamacare. What was the 360 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: singular issue Donald Trump was reelected on in twenty twenty four. 361 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 3: It was securing the border. That's exactly what the Democrats 362 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 3: were fighting on, and yet the White House was willing 363 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 3: to make this deal. Now, to be clear, neither Trump 364 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: nor I are giving up on supporting CBP and I 365 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 3: and secure in the border. But my point is if 366 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 3: you stand united, you can have leverage. And that's the 367 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 3: Democrats have shown exactly what about my strategy was thirteen 368 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 3: years ago. 369 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: It really is incredible. It's and like you said, it's 370 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: a fight. There's still a lot of Americans that are frustrated. 371 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: It's very frustrated. By the way, as a conservative to 372 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: see how often Republicans get power and then I feel 373 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: like we kind of screw it up because we don't 374 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: support each other the way that you just described it 375 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: as spot on for that. It was a big part 376 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: of the conversation this week at SEAPAC when I was there. 377 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: It's like, why is there this divide right now? We 378 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: when we're in power, but yet again here we are 379 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: having that same conversation. 380 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: Let me ask this question, why would the Democrats be 381 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 3: doing this? What might be they be trying to accomplish? 382 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: And how can we figure that out? 383 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, all you got to do is just look at 384 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: their playbook, which I think is literally to destroy this 385 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: country from within. And it's a conversation I'm so glad 386 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: we get to have here. So I was this weekend. 387 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: I was prepping. I was doing Kaylee Mack and any show, 388 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: and then I was doing a good Friend Life Liberty 389 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: in elevent Mark Levin's TV show, and so you prep 390 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: hard for that because Mark's a dear friend of ours. 391 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about what the Democratic Party was doing, 392 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: the No King's rally that was happening, and I decided 393 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to ask Ai how do 394 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: you destroy a country without a civil war, without war, 395 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: without bombs, without shooting? 396 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: What would you do? 397 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 1: And what it sent back to me literally sounds like 398 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: that if you had a mission statement of the Democratic 399 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: Party of the United States of America, I sent it 400 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: to you. Let's go through this a little bit because 401 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: it is a warning to every American if you when 402 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: I say that, I truly believe the Democratic Party hates 403 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: this country and they want to destroy it and they 404 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: have disdain for it. When you look at what AI 405 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: says you do to destroy it, and I didn't say America. 406 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: I want to be clear about this. I said to 407 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: destroy a country. 408 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 3: Well, and then I'll say, look, I don't like to 409 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 3: impune the motives of others, but throughout the Biden administration, 410 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: I have asked the question. This is before AI was commonplace. 411 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 3: I asked the question, if you were trying to destroy 412 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 3: America deliberately, if that were your stated objective, what would 413 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 3: you do differently than what the Biden White House has done. 414 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: That's another way of putting it. Well, we now have 415 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: AI on our phones, and so you typed in. You asked, 416 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: how would you destroy a country without going to war 417 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 3: and chat GPT came up with eight steps. Let's just 418 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: go through what AI says, this is how you destroy 419 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 3: a country and chat GPT began with history shows you 420 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 3: don't need bombs or an invasion to weaken a country. 421 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 3: Bad policy decisions, especially over time, can do real damage 422 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 3: from within. 423 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 4: Number one. 424 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 3: Economic mismanagement, runaway spending, unsustainable debt, high inflation, or over 425 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 3: regulation can choke growth. We can currency stability and erode 426 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: trust in institutions. 427 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: We got three of the four, my friend, I mean 428 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: three of the four literally are very very you are there? 429 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 4: Which one are we missing? 430 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: Well, I mean inflation isn't is not the top of 431 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: the list for me on that one, but. 432 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 4: It was under Biden. 433 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 3: I mean, have we had incredibly high y But like, 434 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: look it's the Democrat policies that led to every one 435 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: of them, that is their economic policy. 436 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: Yes, no, no, no, you were absolutely correct there. And 437 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: I was really in my head like to where are 438 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: we now? And I'm like, well, thank good, as we've 439 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: lowered inflation a lot with with Donald Trump being in office. 440 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: But you're right, their policy was runaway inflation under the 441 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: Biden regime. Then what they call it with Biden inflation 442 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: They're like, that's not real. We've got a great economy, right, Yeah, 443 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: so much for that, all right. 444 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 4: Number two breakdown of law and order. 445 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 3: If laws aren't enforced consistently, whether on crime, borders, or corruption, 446 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: public confidence collapses and disorder can grow. Now, how is 447 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 3: that anything but word for word with the Democrat open 448 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 3: border policy, anti law enforcement policy has been for the 449 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 3: past decade. 450 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean this again. 451 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: I go back to like people listening right now, this 452 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: is what AI says, if you want to destroy a 453 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: country from within, how you do it? And everything in 454 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: that category the Democrats are doing at full speed, not 455 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: like dabbling in it. 456 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: It's full speed for. 457 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 4: Them, okay. 458 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 3: Number three Weak or inconsistent leadership, frequent policy reversals, lack 459 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: of clear direction, or prioritizing politics over governance can create 460 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: instability and uncertainty. Look, we spent four years with a 461 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 3: man with dementia's commander in chief with his finger on 462 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 3: the nuclear button, and AI is telling us, if you 463 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 3: want to destroy a country, that's a great way to start. 464 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt, all right. 465 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 4: Number four. 466 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 3: Number four erosion of institutions, undermining courts, law enforcement, elections, 467 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 3: or the military. Either through politicization or loss of credibility, 468 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 3: can weaken the backbone of a country. 469 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: By the way, let's go through this. 470 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: Democrats put out a video not that long ago telling 471 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: people in the military to go rogue against the president 472 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: United States of America. We had a sitting member of 473 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: defy your commander's organs defy and put out a full 474 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: video on it and defying it. They like they're accomplishing 475 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: every single check there in that list of things that 476 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: they said to do there. 477 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 4: All right. 478 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 3: Number five, Cultural and social division policies are rhetoric that 479 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: deepen divisions racial, economic, political can fracture national unity and 480 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 3: make it hard to function cohesively. 481 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if that's not the Democratic Party, I don't 482 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: know what is right now. 483 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 3: Right, things like describing Ice as Nazis and gestapos, things 484 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 3: like demanding that that that you docks law enforcement officers 485 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 3: and go harass their families. By the way, last night, 486 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 3: Heidi and I took Haidi out to to date night 487 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 3: in Houston, and a fellow came over to me who 488 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 3: was a former Democrat elected judge in Houston. He's an 489 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 3: older guy, and he came to me very earnestly and 490 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 3: he said, I think it is terrible. I think it 491 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 3: is horrible, and I want to ask you to reconsider. 492 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 3: He said, I think it is terrible that ICE wears masks, 493 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 3: and we need to stop it right now. And I said, sir, 494 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 3: I understand what you're saying. But I said, do you 495 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 3: know why they're wearing masks? 496 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 4: And he's just like no. 497 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: And I said, they're wearing masks because the extreme left 498 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: is doxing them and is urging radicals to go to 499 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: their homes and threaten their wives and threaten their children. 500 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 3: They're wearing And I said, and by the way, this 501 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: is not just some fringe. Hakeem Jeffrey's, the top Democrat 502 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 3: in the House, said about ICE officers, we will unmask you, 503 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 3: we will go to your home, we will find you. 504 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 3: And he's like, why, I don't support that. I said, well, 505 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 3: but with respect, it's your party that is due and 506 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 3: it is the elected leaders of your party that are 507 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 3: calling for it. And the reason these officers are wearing masks. 508 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: I don't like that they wear masks. I wish they 509 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: didn't have to, if we didn't live in a world 510 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: where they were facing a threat of violence against their children. 511 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 3: That they wouldn't feel the need to wear a mask 512 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 3: to protect their families. And I got to say, this guy, 513 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 3: who I think was a very sincere, very liberal Democrat, 514 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 3: engaged with not a word I was saying. 515 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 4: He's like, well, they just need to stop now. 516 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 3: And when I asked like, how would you feel what 517 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 3: about your family, he had no response. 518 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 4: Number six education decline. 519 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 3: If education systems fail to produce informed, skilled citizens, long 520 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 3: term competitiveness and civic understanding suffer. 521 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: Yes, that is public education in America today. We have 522 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: spent countless dollars on it. We are failing the majority 523 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: of our kids in this country in public education. They're 524 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: behind and reading, writing, and arithmetic. We're behind the rest 525 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: of the world. We ranked very low the world, especially 526 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: of civilized countries. We're one of the lowest in math, 527 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: We're of the lowest in reading. We're one of the 528 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: lowest in science, for example. And this is the Democratic 529 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: Party dumbing down this country. And again Ai says, this 530 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: is exactly how you have a country that you can 531 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: completely destroy. 532 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 3: And understand that the Democrats have had a near total 533 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 3: monopoly on public education and the big inner cities for decades. 534 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 3: They've had almost total control, and the results have been 535 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: screamingly horribly bad. Now the good news is we're pushing back. 536 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 3: Texas passed the largest state school choice program in the country. 537 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 3: As you know, I spend a lot of time and 538 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: energy fighting for Texas to do that, and last year, 539 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: with a reconciliation bill, we passed the biggest federal school 540 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 3: choice bill in history. 541 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 4: I wrote that provision. 542 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: It's going to unleash tens of billions of dollars of 543 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 3: scholarships to kids in need. But you know, look, according 544 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 3: to AI, if you want to destroy a country, do 545 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: what has been done to our schools. 546 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 4: Number seven. 547 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 3: Energy and infrastructure neglect. Weakening domestic energy production or failing 548 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: to maintain infrastructure can hurt national security and economic resilience. 549 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 3: Now I think that may actually be written into the 550 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 3: DNC platform. Their objective is to weaken domestic energy production 551 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 3: and fail to maintain infrastructure like it is the entirety 552 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 3: of what the Biden administration did three hundred and sixty 553 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: five days for four years consecutively. 554 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, all right. 555 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: Number eight dependence on adversaries, relying heavily on rival nations 556 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 3: for critical supply chains energy, China, technology manufacturing can create 557 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 3: strategic vulnerabilities. 558 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: China, China with a side of China. 559 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, And to be fair, this one I will not 560 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 3: blame entirely on the Demo. There are a lot of 561 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 3: Republicans who bear some blame for making us so totally 562 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: dependent on China. I've spent fourteen years in the Senate 563 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: fighting to dlink our economy from China, to move semiconductor 564 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 3: manufacturing back to this country, to move pharmaceuticals back to 565 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 3: this country, to move critical minerals back to this country. 566 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 3: Both parties bear some fault in letting us become so 567 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 3: dependent on China. But what's amazing about this, Ben chat 568 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 3: GPT is generally considered a lean, pretty left. You did 569 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 3: not ask some right wing source criticize the Democrat agenda. 570 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: And let me ask a serious question. If you were 571 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 3: a Democrat senator, let's say you're Chuck Schumer. I'm going 572 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: to ask you to go through the mental anguish, put 573 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 3: yourself into his loafers. Yes, how would you respond to this? 574 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: How would you if you were willing to and you 575 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 3: don't just get to attack and yell, like, what substantive 576 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 3: answer would you give to those eight things that are 577 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: the essence of the Democrat agenda right now. 578 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how if he was answering it, honestly, 579 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: he'd be like, we stand for all these things. It 580 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: just so happens. It's exactly how Chad g b t 581 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: a I tells us to destroy a nation, and and and. 582 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: And I don't know how you would defend it, right. 583 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: You could yell, and you could pand her, and you 584 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: could say it's Republicans. 585 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 2: But that was the reason why. 586 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: And I want to give a shout out because she's 587 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: a good friend of ours. Kaylee, let me go along, 588 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: I think in that segment to put this out there 589 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: on Fox. She has a great weekend show. And I 590 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: want to say thank you to her because she's a 591 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: she's just she's a great person, great you and I 592 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: know her well. 593 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 4: But she was at you try to get invited back 594 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 4: to guest toast.

Whoever knew this? 596 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: On TV? 597 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 4: Right? They don't let you read me that Benjamin could 598 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 4: be this charm. Yeah you know, but a. 599 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: Minute because I was like I'm going to take this 600 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: risk and read on my phone. They don't like that 601 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: on TV, and they let it go and and then 602 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: it went viral, and I'm glad it did because this 603 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: is the warning from AI that this is the Democrat 604 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: Party and what they're doing, which brings us, by the way, 605 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: to the demands of this country in real time. 606 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: And they're no Kings Rally. 607 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: This is something that this show and centater you warned 608 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: about the first time there was a no King's rally. 609 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: A quote from a Fox News article, I'm gonna go 610 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: back in time, says quote Senator Ted Cruz, Republican from Texas, 611 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: was the first to sound the alarm on ties between 612 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: Soros and the quote unquote no Kings protests during an 613 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: interview with Fox News is Sean Hannity and you and 614 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: I were talking about that. 615 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: On this show. Follow the Money. Look who is behind this. 616 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: The king pins is how I described them of the 617 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, the communists, the socialists, the Marxists, the billionaires 618 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: and multi millionaires. They are the king pins of the party. 619 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: They're funding all this. None of this is organic. All 620 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: of this is manufactured. 621 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 2: BS and the media want you to believe. 622 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: This is organic and this all this just randomly happens 623 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: because people are angry. No, this is all orchestrated and 624 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: paid for by Democratic kingpins in their party. 625 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 3: Well, Ben, and I will say this is the reason 626 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: I think that people listen to Verdict or watch Verdict 627 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 3: on YouTube, because we cover topics and we give you 628 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 3: information long before you can get it somewhere else, often 629 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: years before. 630 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 4: So go back to COVID. 631 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: Within a couple of months of the COVID pandemic starting 632 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 3: on this podcast, we had two podcasts, one in March 633 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one in April of twenty twenty laying 634 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 3: out the facts that supported the conclusion that the COVID 635 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 3: virus escaped from a Chinese government owned lab, likely the 636 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: Wuhan Institute Virology. And I think the odds are overwhelming 637 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 3: that COVID escaped from a Chinese government lab. And I 638 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 3: think the odds are significant, greater than fifty percent that 639 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: the virus was in fact created in that lab through 640 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: gain of function research, taking existing viruses and making them 641 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 3: more lethal, making them more transmissible, making them more targeted 642 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: to humans. It's less compelling than the lab leaku basis, 643 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 3: but I think it is greater than fifty percent. We 644 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 3: put that out years before that was publicly acknowledged by 645 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 3: federal agencies, and at the time social media Facebook and 646 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 3: Twitter were censoring those views. This podcast Verdict was putting 647 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 3: him out. Likewise, a year ago, this podcast put out 648 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 3: with receipts that these No King rallies they're not organic, 649 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 3: they're not just rising up out of nowhere. They are funded. 650 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: They are funded by George Soros, They're funded by left 651 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 3: wing billionaires and and and they are communist Marxist organizations. Now, 652 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: this latest rally, it was striking number one. Bernie Sanders, 653 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 3: I did enjoy it. Bernie Sanders hopped into his first 654 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 3: class seat to fly to his No King's rally to 655 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 3: denounce the oligarchs. As he's sitting up in first class. 656 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 3: But if you look at. 657 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: That's flumming it for him. By the way, it's usually 658 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 2: it's normally. 659 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 4: Normally a private jot. So you're right, I mean, I 660 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 4: mean he was it. 661 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, first class was really like like like with the 662 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: the proletariat. 663 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 664 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 3: But if you look at this latest rally, you had 665 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 3: flags everywhere of Hammer and Sickle, the Soviet Union flags. 666 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 3: You had people chanting about we need a communist revolution. Look, 667 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 3: here's the latest story from Fox News.
