1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: I want to take you back to February of this year,

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: and something big happened at the White House. The Trump

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: administration designated several major drug cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel,

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: MS thirteen and others, as quote global terrorists organizations. Well,

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: now we know more about why that decision was made.

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's executive authority has now been used and has

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: signed a directive empowering the Pentagon to prepare military options

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: on land and at sea against Latin American drug cartels

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: that have been designated as quote foreign terrorists organizations. Preparedness

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: and non immediate action is what this is really all about.

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Military plans are being drawn up, we're being told now,

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: including special forces, intelligence operations, naval operations, and surveillance. The

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: threshold fractual deployment has not been crossed yet. No ground operations,

14
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: we've been told, are imminent. But Mexico is already responding

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: to this. In fact, today Mexico extradited twenty six top

16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: cartel leaders to the US and a Trump administration deal.

17
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: The transfer comes ahead of a twenty five percent tariff

18
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: on Mexican goods imposed by President Trump. Mexico handing over

19
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: these twenty six top cartel leaders in the United States

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: of America this week is massive. It's something that Biden

21
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: never even tried to do or Obama. The cartel figures

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: were scheduled to fly the US on Tuesday, we were

23
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: being told by reporters today is the latest example of

24
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's historic effort to dismantle cartels and foreign

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: terrorists organizations. That's what Attorney General Pam Bondi said to

26
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: Fox News, saying, quote, these twenty six men have all

27
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: played a role in bringing violence and drugs to American chores.

28
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: Under the Department of Justice, they will face severe consequences

29
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: for their crimes against his country. And we're grateful to

30
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the President of Mexico and the Mexican government for their

31
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: collaboration in this matter. Now, one of the twenty six

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: cartel members that was turned over the US is a

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: man that was wanted. His name was Gonzales Vallecina. He

34
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: was a leader of one of the top Mexican cartels

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: and he also is accused of participating in the two

36
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: thousand and eight killing of a Los Angeles sheriff deputy.

37
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: He's one of those that is among the twenty six

38
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: that are being handed over to the US. The Trump administration,

39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: by the way, has classified that cartel, the CJNG, as

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: a terrorist organization. Mexico's Attorney General's office and the Security

41
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Ministry confirmed the men were being handed over, saying the

42
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: deal was made after the US this Justice Department said

43
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: it wouldn't seek the death penalty for any of the men.

44
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: The deal comes amid the Trump administration's focus on border security,

45
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: an attempt to crack down on Mexican cartels that's in

46
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: drugs across the border. President Trump's top priority is protecting

47
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: the homeland, which is why it took the bold steps

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations.

49
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: That's what the Deputy White House pres Secretary said today

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: in a statement that was released Mexican President on Friday,

51
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: so the US military would not be entering Mexican territory

52
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: following reports that Washington could take action to combat the cartels, saying, quote,

53
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: we co operate, we collaborate, but there is not going

54
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: to be an invasion. It's off the table, absolutely off

55
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the table, quote unquote, which brings me back to the

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: White House. I want you to take a listen to

57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: part of what was said about what the president is

58
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: planning to do and how serious he is about combating

59
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: these terrorists. Here he is in his own words.

60
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: You were talking about sending military forces to fight against

61
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: the drug cartels in Latin America.

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: Do you think it's worth sending our forces or US

63
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: forces there to take this.

64
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: On cartels where central Latin America.

65
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 5: Latin America's got a lot of cartels, They've got a

66
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 5: lot of drugs flowing. So, you know, we want to

67
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 5: protect our country. We have to protect our country. We

68
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 5: haven't been doing it for four years. And we love

69
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 5: this country like they love their countries. We have to

70
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: protect our country. So you know, we're playing a tough game.

71
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: But we'll have more to say about that soon.

72
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: We'll have more to say about that soon. Clearly the

73
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: President United States of America not messing around when it

74
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: comes to protecting the homeland. Are you one of those

75
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: that's just so tired of giving your money to radical

76
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: left woke companies that actually are fighting against your values

77
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: every day? Well, there are certain bills that you pay

78
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: every month that if you can go with a conservative company,

79
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: why not do it? In fact, why not go with

80
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: a conservative company? That actually takes part of your bill

81
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: every month that you're going to pay to somebody, and

82
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: they give it back to organizations that support your First

83
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: and your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights of

84
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: unborn children, that stand with our military, are first responders,

85
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: and so many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that

86
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: bill I'm talking about is your cell phone bill. And

87
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: I've been telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile.

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: But there's no better time to switch than right now.

89
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Not only does Patriot Mobile operate on all three major

Speaker 1: has been giving big donations to democratic causes, democratic candidates,

96
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations that actually

97
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: support abortion. That is why I want you to switch

98
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,600

115
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: the President has not only sent a queer message he's

116
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: not messing around with Mexico, but the former acting ICE

117
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Director says this quote, the game is up for the

118
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: cartels amid Trump's border crackdown. Here's more of what he

119
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: said this plan could look like.

120
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 6: Donathan Fehe, former acting ICE Director and former DHS Deputy

121
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 6: Assistant Secretary Jonathan great to have you on the show.

122
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 6: I want to play some sound here from the Secretary

123
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 6: of State Marco Rubio. He said this about targeting cartels

124
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 6: as terrorists.

125
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: Their behavior is going to have to change one way

126
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: or another, but it allows us to now target what

127
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: they're operating and to use other elements of American power,

128
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, whatever, Yeah, to target

129
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: these groups. If we have an opportunity to do it,

130
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: we have to start treating them as armed terrorist organizations,

131
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: not simply drug dealing organizations.

132
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's a proper assessment. I don't

133
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: know what you think about this, Jonathan, but it's interesting

134
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 6: because these cartels are no longer just providing these illegal

135
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 6: products by the thousands of pounds. They're killing thousands of Americans.

136
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 7: You're exactly right.

137
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 8: And if you think about it, just during the Biden administration,

138
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 8: four hundred thousand people died of overdose tests just in

139
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 8: that four year term, and as we know, there is

140
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 8: just a complete dereliction of duty on the border as

141
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 8: well as taking it to their cartels. And just for

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 8: some context, that's one hundred thousand more than during the

143
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 8: first Trump administration, So a massive increase. We need to

144
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 8: take it to them because, yeah, people are dying, and

145
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 8: President Trump isn't going to just stand by and just say, oh,

146
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 8: this is now the status quo. One hundred thousand Americans.

147
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 8: Ye're going to die of overdose. This is unacceptable. He's

148
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 8: going to take it to them. And there's a you know,

149
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 8: another benefit to this by by even talking about this.

150
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 8: The messaging is so strong on this. This will inspire

151
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 8: cooperation from all these countries where we may be acting

152
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 8: in so all of these will be a good thing.

153
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 8: And we'll track this at the end of the year

154
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 8: where these overdose tests go.

155
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 6: And I'm interested, and you know, when you get pushback

156
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 6: on this, because the upside is enormous on this, and

157
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 6: the downside is also enormous. I mean, if you don't

158
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 6: do this and you continue to let tens of thousands,

159
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 6: hundreds of thousands of Americans die, I mean it is

160
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 6: this is something that there is a fix to at

161
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 6: least there's somewhat of a remedy.

162
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 7: To this if we go forward.

163
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

164
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 8: And it's almost like we've had four years where we

165
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 8: weren't even trying to do something during the Biden administration. Yeah,

166
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 8: it's not acceptable because one hundred thousand people of your dying.

167
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 8: Those are those people, their families, their communities. Everyone in

168
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 8: this country is affected by this. So it's time to

169
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 8: take it to these cartels. And their good days are over.

170
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 8: They had their heyday under the Biden administration. But the

171
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 8: game is up and the Trump Investation's going after them.

172
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,479
Speaker 8: And I think this is very effective, not only substantively,

173
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 8: but I think the messaging is quite clear on.

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: This meantime, let's bring the subject back to some action

175
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 6: by federal agents in this count Here's DHS Secretary of

176
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 6: Christy Nolan.

177
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: The debate over so called sanctuary policies has real consequences

178
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: and has consequences for our law enforcement officers, but also

179
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: for the families that live here in the businesses that

180
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: are just trying to provide for their community. Governor Pritzker

181
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: and Mayor Johnson are answering that question every single day

182
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: of who should be our priority, who should be our responsibility,

183
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: and over and over again they're choosing criminals.

184
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: Over and over again. They're choosing criminals. Christin Nome is

185
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: absolutely right. The Democratic Party is choosing radicals, lawlessness, anarchy,

186
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: the cartels, and the people that are poising our kids

187
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: with fetanyl every single day, and President Donald Trump is

188
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: saying very clearly now we're coming after those people, and

189
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: we're going to go after the cartels wherever they are

190
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: so that we can protect American interests. And that's exactly

191
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: why Mexico handed over twenty six top cardtis hell members

192
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: of the US today in a bombshell report, a Democratic

193
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: whistleblower has come forward a longtime staffer on the House

194
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee and told the FBI back in December of

195
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, during Donald Trump's first year in office, that

196
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: then Representative Adam Schiff authorized the leaking of classified information

197
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: during the Russia Gate investigation to discredit President Donald Trump,

198
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: believing that he would be appointed CIA director under a

199
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: potential Hillary Clinton presidency. In meetings, Adam Shift allegedly stated

200
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: the leaks would be used to indict President Trump. When

201
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: the whistleblower objected, others reportedly reassured him that they would

202
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: not quote b he caught. The whistleblower described a system

203
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: where sense of material was funneled to Shift and then

204
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: selectively leaked to the press. One document allegedly seen by

205
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: a small group including Shift and Representative Eric Swalwell. You

206
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: remember the congressman that was literally sleeping with a Chinese

207
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: spy was leaked almost verbatim within a day. The whistle

208
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: blower labeled these actions unethical and potentially treason US and

209
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: sought FBI involvement, though the Department of Justice reportedly declined

210
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: to pursue the investigation further. The White House Press secretary,

211
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: calling the report a bombshell, cigning the newly released FBI

212
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: documentation about the whistleblower's account. Here's more of what Caroline

213
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: Levitt had to say when she was asked about it

214
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: in the White House briefing room.

215
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 9: Okay, thanks Caroline. My question involves Russia Gate.

216
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 10: A whistleblower alleged that the Congressman Adam Shift approved leaking

217
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 10: classified information to smear President Trump's image during the Russia

218
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 10: Commut scandal.

219
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 5: As a president planned to investigate.

220
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 10: Adam Shift and what would accountability look like if more

221
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 10: information confirms this support. The President has already said he

222
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 10: wants to see Adam Shiff held accountable for the countless

223
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 10: lies he told the American people in relation to the

224
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 10: Russia Gate scandal. I brought Tulca Gabbert out to this

225
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 10: podium to talk to you about all of that. And

226
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 10: this administration is taking accountability very seriously. As for this

227
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 10: new FBI whistleblower report, I understand cash Pttel last night

228
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 10: declassified a three h two FBI document showing that a

229
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 10: whistleblower who is a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who

230
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 10: worked for Democrats on the House Intel Committee for more

231
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 10: than a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen

232
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 10: that then Rep. Adam Shiff had approved leaking classified information

233
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 10: to smear then President Donald Trump over the Russia Gate scandal.

234
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 10: This is obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people

235
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 10: in this room will cover it as such. And I

236
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 10: have a quote from the FBI director for all of you.

237
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 10: He has said this for years. Certain officials use their

238
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 10: positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives.

239
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 10: It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence

240
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 10: and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public

241
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 10: trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,

242
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 10: with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the

243
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 10: chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized

244
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 10: and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on.

245
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 10: And hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this

246
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 10: whistleblower allegation. If this were reversed, if this were allegations

247
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 10: against the President or any of these cabinet officials, I'm

248
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 10: sure everyone in this room would cover it as such.

249
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: Carol I Lovitt, by the way, is absolutely right. The

250
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: media is not covering the story. Thank goodness, we're covering it.

251
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: And also they had a very interesting way of covering

252
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: this at five News on Brett Baar's show. I want

253
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: you to hear the latest of what he had to

254
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: say from Washington other.

255
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 11: Store we're following tonight, California Senator Adam Shiff is being

256
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 11: accused by a fellow Democrat of leaking classified information relating

257
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 11: to the Russia Gate scandal. Ship's office is denying those claims.

258
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 11: Senior Congressional correspondent Chad Program has all the details this

259
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 11: evening from Capitol Hill.

260
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 7: Treasonous and illegal. That's how a Democratic whistleblower characterized Adam Schiff,

261
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 7: accusing him of green lighting the leak of classified information

262
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 7: to undercut President Trump during the twenty seventeen Russiagate investigation.

263
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 10: The President has already said he wants to see Adam

264
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 10: Shiff held accountable for the countless lies he told the

265
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 10: American people in relation to the Russia Gate scandal.

266
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 7: The whistleblower was a veteran House Intelligence Committee staffer. The

267
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 7: FBI summary obtained by Fox says Schiff told Aids he

268
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 7: would quote leak classified information which was derogatory to the

269
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 7: president in hopes of scoring an indictment for the commander

270
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 7: in chief.

271
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 12: It's beyond unseemly.

272
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 7: This was just an egregious breach and really a reprehensible

273
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 7: act on the part of Adam. Schiff's office calls this

274
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 7: baseless smears, saying the whistleblower was quote not reliable, not credible,

275
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 7: and was fired. Schiff was the top Democrat on the

276
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 7: House Intelligence Committee as it probed possible twenty sixteen election interference.

277
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 13: If the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided

278
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 13: or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a

279
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 13: serious crime, it would also represent one of the most

280
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 13: shocking betrayals of democracy in history.

281
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 7: Schiff, who led the democrats first impeachment of President Trump,

282
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 7: now faces an unrelated criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud.

283
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: Now it looks like Adam Schiff really did a bad thing.

284
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 7: They have a Democrats say the GOP is trying to

285
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 7: shift the narrative.

286
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 5: Look, this is a nonsense.

287
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 8: This is an effort to change the subject away from

288
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 8: the Epstein files.

289
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 7: The FBI summary indicates that Schiff hope Hillary Clinton would

290
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 7: win in twenty sixteen. Schiff aspired to run the CIA.

291
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: Right, can you imagine if Adam Schiff was running the

292
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: CIA what he would have done knowing that apparently he

293
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: was leaking this type of classified information totally to take

294
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: down the president of the United States of America. So

295
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: when you look back over this issue moving forward, yes,

296
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: there should be accountability. There are some saying, wow, this

297
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: shouldn't be an issue of accountability, let's just move on

298
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: from it. If you're saying that, I think you're insane.

299
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Because these people went totally outside of the law. Time

300
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: and time again, they abuse their power to try to

301
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: overthrow the will of the people. And that's exactly why

302
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: the White House reacted to this Democratic whistleblower as a bombshell,

303
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: And it's also the reason why the media in general

304
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: is not covering it. Jonathan Turley, breaking down the latest

305
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: allegations against Adam Shift, had this to say about it.

306
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 7: Take a listen.

307
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 12: Welcome back Democrat Senator Adam Shift. He's known to shift

308
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 12: the narrative, particularly on the Russia collusion hoax.

309
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: This is about as clear evidence you could find of

310
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: intent by the campaign to collude with the Russians. He

311
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: may be the first president in quite some time to

312
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: face the real prospect of jail time. The Russians offered help,

313
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: the campaign accepted help, The Russians gave help, and the

314
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: President made full use of that help. The evidence is

315
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: now overwhelming and unequivocal.

316
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 12: There is reporting almost testifying as to evidence linking Donald

317
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 12: Trump to Russia. Newly released FBI memos, by the Way,

318
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 12: obtained by Fox show a Democrat whistleblower who's accusing Adam

319
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 12: Shift of green lighting a leak of classified information in

320
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 12: order to damage Trump during the Russia Gate investigation. The

321
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 12: source called the following. In the meeting, Shifts stated the

322
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 12: group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President

323
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 12: of the United States Donald J. Trump. Shift stated the

324
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 12: information would be used to indict President Trump. Someone stated

325
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 12: this would be illegal, and upon hearing his concerns, an

326
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 12: unnamed member of the meeting reassured that certain someone they

327
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 12: would not be caught leaking classified information. No weather ever

328
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 12: going to get caught woots. FBI Director Cash Pattel posted,

329
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 12: we found it, we declassified it. Now Congress can see

330
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 12: how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives and

331
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 12: decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people.

332
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 12: Shift is saying no, no, no, no, Wait a minute, Wait

333
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 12: a minute, wait a minute. I'm not guilty of leaking

334
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 12: classified information. Those baseless smears are based on allegations that

335
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 12: were found to be not reliable, not credible, and uncstantiated

336
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 12: from a disgruntled former staffer who was fired by the

337
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 12: House Intel Committee for cause in twenty seventeen, including for

338
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 12: herrass and potentially compromising activity on official travel for the committee.

339
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 12: You want me to think about official travel for the committee

340
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 12: when I'm sitting here concerned about you leaking classified information?

341
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 12: Joining me now, George Washington University law professor and Fox

342
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 12: News contributor Jonathan Turley, Professor's great to see you here today.

343
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 12: Leaking classified information that's a potentially very serious charge is

344
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 12: it not.

345
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 9: It doesn't get much more serious than that. The chairman

346
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 9: of the House Intel Committee doesn't have declassification authority over

347
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 9: these types of documents. They are made available to Congress

348
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 9: under very tightly controlled rules. This has been a source

349
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 9: of tension for years, and members of both parties have

350
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 9: gone out of their way to assure that this material

351
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 9: would be closely held and not weaponized. Shiff was viewed.

352
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 9: It is one of the most political chairs of that

353
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 9: committee in its history, and this is a truly chilling

354
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 9: account if true. Now I first read it, frankly, I

355
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 9: was taken aback because it's perfectly moronic to commit such

356
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 9: a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff. That's

357
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 9: not usually how things are leaked in Washington, d C.

358
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 9: What makes this different, Will is that this was a

359
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 9: statement made to FBI agents. The person who made this

360
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 9: statement was no doubt aware that lying to FBI agents

361
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 9: is not just a crime, but a crime that was

362
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 9: repeatedly prosecuted during prior administrations, including the Obama and Biden administrations.

363
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 9: So making this statement puts you at risk. That's why

364
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 9: someone's lying here, and someone's a felon.

365
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: The question now is do you believe Adam Schiff or

366
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: is Adam Schiff the felon and maybe the liar all

367
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: at the same time. We're going to keep covering this one.

368
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: I can promise you that Donald Trump has done something

369
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: that's truly incredible. Allow law enforcement to do their jobs,

370
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: and now Americans are signing up in record numbers to

371
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: get in on law and order. We now have found

372
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: out that over one hundred thousand Americans have submitted applications

373
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: for jobs at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement known

374
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: as ICE, following the launch of a Department of Holaned

375
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Security hiring campaign in late July. The Trump administration initiatives

376
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: seeks to add ten thousand more ICE personnel. Because of

377
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: the tens of millions of illegal immigrants that are in

378
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: this country, ICE agents are needed, and now they're offering

379
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: major perks as well and even easing some of the

380
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: qualification restrictions to make sure that we get incredible people

381
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: that are willing to work within ICE. This is one

382
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: of the best parts of all of what Donald Trump

383
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: has done. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security

384
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Nomes stress the significance of the hiring push,

385
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: saying quote. This is a defining moment in our nation's history.

386
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been

387
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland. No emphasize

388
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: that ICE agents are responsible for deporting the worst of

389
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: the worst criminals from the United States of America. To

390
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: draw in applicants, ICE is providing sign on bonuses as

391
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: high as fifty thousand dollars, along with programs for repaying

392
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: or for giving student loans and additional perks. This hiring

393
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: campaign occurs amid DHS statistics showing an eight hundred and

394
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: thirty percent surge in attacks on ICE agents, a number

395
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: that no medicated has now climb to one thousand percent

396
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: because the radical left demonizing law and order. The acting

397
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: ICE Director Todd Lyons has drawn also attention to the

398
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: difficulties ICE agents are enduring and encountering in the public.

399
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: Because of the open border policies of the former Biden

400
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: Harris government, the dedicated men and women of ICE now

401
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: face unprecedented challenges in removing millions of criminal legal aliens

402
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: from our country, and that's exactly why they're trying to

403
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: hire ten thousand new individuals now. The ICE hiring portal

404
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: features various positions such as deportation officer, criminal investigator, and

405
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: general attorney, and it also clearly responds to the occupational hazards,

406
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: noting that agents are quote expertly trained and that all

407
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: possible measures are implemented to protect them. Every candidate for

408
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: law enforcement position will be subject to health evaluations, substance screenings,

409
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: and fitness tests during the recruitment. This is exactly why

410
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: they've received more than one hundred thousand applicants, because so

411
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: many people are willing to fight to protect this country

412
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: when they know the commander in chief is backing them up.

413
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what you're getting from President Trumpe. Share
