34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 7: There's a lot of information that's just going to become

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 7: coming out from Chicago over the next days and weeks

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 7: and months, and it is going to be ground zero

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 7: in the fight.

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 5: But Chicago's only one city. The entire country has been invaded.

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 5: We've seen it here, We've seen it now, we're continuing

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 5: to see it.

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 7: We're just at Matta Morros this morning and Reynosa and

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 7: they're continuing to invite the invasion into America. So we

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 7: couldn't pick a better person than Tom Homan to fight

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 7: this fight though.

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Democrat mayor of Democrat leaders rather including the

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson. All these leaders across the

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: US about to defy Trump's mass deportation plan, but his

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: incoming administration has doubled down on their plans. They're saying

49
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: they're prepared to take legal action against anyone who stands

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: in their way. So do you anticipate that this is

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: going to be met with widespread pushback?

52
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 7: Well, I sure hope. Well, it depends on which where

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 7: the pushback's coming from. I hope they arrest every single

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 7: sanctuary mayor and every single.

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 5: Sanctuary governor in the country.

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 7: I think if they are openly subverting the federal government

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 7: from doing its primary job of protecting the citizens and

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 7: the constitution of the United States, they should absolutely be arrested.

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: I hope that happens now.

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 7: We didn't see that in the first administration.

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 5: I hope we see it in this second.

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,600

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 8: dismantled in the side of the border. Three caravans have

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160

147
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 8: This is the family that you separated. Instead of taking

148

150
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 8: should have taken the whole family. You took only the

151
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 8: wife and the child, and you left the male behind.

152
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 8: And the male that is the one that it provides

153
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 8: and wants to help. He's stuck here and he's waiting

154
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 8: for his wife that is disabled. Us hear us and

155
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 8: have a leg and the kid is disabled, and you

156
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 8: know they need a father. You know they took that

157
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 8: decision upon theirselves to come over here and to try

158
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 8: to migrate on the disconditions. But these are the open

159
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 8: votive policies and what you create and the consequences of it.

160
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Wow, Ben, it is so heartbreaking to hear the stories

161
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: from those people on the ground that are going through

162
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: all of this that were frankly misled by the Biden

163
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: administration's policies. Here. Now we know that Trump has promised

164
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: to eliminate CBP one. But what does that mean for

165
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: people like the man that you just interviewed.

166
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 5: It means the end.

167
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 7: I mean, it means again, you said it, they promised,

168
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 7: and they didn't deliver. And the problem is, as he's

169
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 7: waiting there for eleven months, every single day, they're letting

170
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 7: in other people that really don't qualify or shouldn't qualify,

171
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 7: shouldn't be in here. We've got gang members and all

172
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 7: these rapists and murders. We know hundreds of thousands of

173
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 7: people criminals that have been led into our country. So

174
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 7: not only are you hurting America, hurting the citizens of America,

175
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 7: you're also hurting the people that actually may deserve asylum,

176
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 7: that actually may deserve immigration, and they're all kind of

177
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 7: stuck in the middle of this blender and it's a stroying.

178
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: We may have lost our connection with Oscar and Ben,

179
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: but Emily to that point, that was very heartbreaking to

180
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: see that video of that man, because it sounds like

181
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: he is a deserving candidate actually to come to us.

182
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: But what I wanted to ask Ben and Oscar and

183
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: I'd like to ask you, is how do you what

184
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: do you think Trump will do with respect to the

185
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: gangs and rapists and murders that we've heard about that

186
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: are already here. We saw that video from Aurora, Colorado.

187
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: With trainedy Arragua.

188
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: What do you think kind of system that Trump will

189
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 3: implement and Tom Homan to find those people that are

190
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: already here?

191
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: How do we find that? Do you think it's a hotline?

192
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: Do you think it's an app where someone can turn

193
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: these people in when they see them. What kind of

194
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: technology do you think that might be employed?

195
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a really interesting idea to have an

196
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: app like that, maybe like a reporting system. But bo

197
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: I think the first step is do we have Ben

198
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: and Oscar back with us? Fantastic?

199
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: Thanks for being an Did you guys hear that question

200
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: about what do you think will happen once Trump goes

201
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: into office? In terms of the gangs we know are

202
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: already here, like trained dear Raga, what have you heard

203
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: about what can be done about that?

204
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 7: Well, one of the things that has to be done

205
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 7: as fast as possible is labeling Cartel's terrorist organizations.

206
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 13: And really and.

207
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like go ahead and finish your I

208
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a tough connection there with them.

209
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: But what I was going to say is I think

210
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: you have to work with the local law enforcement organizations

211
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: throughout the country to be able to actually implement this.

212
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: It seems like Tom Holman does have a place in place.

213
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he wants to start in Chicago. We talked

214
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: about this yesterday with our very own Brian Glenn about

215
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: how you're not going to start in a place like

216
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: New York City, where Mayor Eric Adams is already vowed

217
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: to work with the Trump administration. You got to work

218
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: on places like Chicago where the leaders there are a

219
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: little bit more defiant and maybe difficult, a bit more

220
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: difficult to be able to track or to crack down

221
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: on all of this, all this crime from the gangs

222
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: coming over from the border. The one thing bo that

223
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I am most most interested in to see what Trump

224
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: is going to do is try to track down and

225
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: find the more than three hundred thousand missing children, these

226
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: missing migrant children that came over the border unaccompanied. What

227
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: do you think that is going to look like?

228
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: Both That's a tough one, but I think it's great

229
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: because we've always heard that Trump was the family separator.

230
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: What if he can be the family united?

231
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: What if he can unify these families, and I believe

232
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: technology can help us.

233
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 4: I'll beeve that's something that we can use.

234
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: And again, I think families would probably have to not

235
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: fear repercussion if they were to say this is where

236
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: this child is. But in order to find safety for

237
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: these hundreds of thousands of kids that you mention nimbly,

238
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: there's got to be a technological way to identify where

239
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 3: these children are and get them out of harm's way

240
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: and either back connected with their families and a legal

241
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: path to citizenship.

242
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: That's what what Trump has always said.

243
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: We're not against immigration, we're against illegal immigration, right emily correct.

244
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're breaking a law the moment that

245
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: you come over the border, and then god knows you

246
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: know what you're going to do after that. When you

247
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: don't even respect the initial law of coming to this

248
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: country the legal way, why do you respect any of

249
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the laws once you get here. I'm certainly going to

250
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: be a heavy lift to try to address our immigration

251
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: problems in this country once Trump is inaugurated.

252
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: It is, but I think these are the two men

253
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: to do it, honestly, with Home and Trump. Let's hope

254
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: they do it and get those kids reunited.

255
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: Well, coming up.

256
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: Michigan is cracking down on illegal voters a new initiative

257
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: that was just announced today by Representative Posthumous.

258
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: He joins us to break it all down. We'll be

259
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 4: right back.

260
00:11:46,200 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 11: Stay with us.

261
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 13: Welcome back to special report.

262
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: A major crackdown could be happening in Michigan following more

263
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: concerns of illegal citizens voting in elections.

264
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

265
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 6: This comes as headlines like this circulated during the election.

266
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 6: In one instance, Michigan prosecutors even charged a Chinese citizen

267
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 6: with voter fraud and perjury after he allegedly cast a

268
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 6: ballot in the twenty twenty four election. We want to

269
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 6: go ahead and talk a little bit more about how

270
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 6: Michigan lawmakers plan to stop this by bringing in Michigan

271
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 6: House Majority leader elect. So congratulations Brian prosumus, sir, thank

272
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 6: you for joining us real quickly tell us about this

273
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 6: brand new initiative that you actually are announcing today.

274
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, thank you very much for having me on. I

275
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 14: really appreciate it. So I am going to be come January,

276
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 14: I'm going to be introducing a joint resolution that will

277
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 14: amend the Michigan Constitute to ensure that only citizens vote

278
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 14: in our elections. It will require proof of citizenship in

279
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 14: order to register to vote, as well as photo ID

280
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 14: when casting your ballot at the ballot box.

281
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: Do you anticipate to have the support of your colleagues

282
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 2: as you pitch this.

283
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 13: I mean, I know it's something that people have been

284
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 13: pushing for.

285
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 14: Look, I don't know a single Republican that is against

286
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 14: making sure that only US citizens vote in our elections.

287
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 14: So I fully expect that all of my Republican colleagues

288
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 14: will support me. Also, this is a problem with the

289
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 14: Democrats making and so I don't believe it was intentionally done,

290
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 14: and so I genuinely believe we will be able to

291
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 14: get some support from the Democrats across the aisle. So

292
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 14: what I will say is, even if we can't get

293
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 14: it done legislatively, I am absolutely committed to putting this

294
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 14: on the ballot and one way or another it will

295
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 14: get on the ballot.

296
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 6: Well, well, that's what's important, because at the end of

297
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 6: the day, you got to get these guys on the record.

298
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 6: It seems silly to me that anyone could vote against

299
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 6: such a thing. Now, Brian wabagotcha, at the moment, what

300
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 6: is the system that's currently being used to identify a

301
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 6: legal immigrants voting.

302
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 14: Well, So, what's interesting about the state of Michigan is

303
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 14: is most people believe that RUFUS citizenship is required and

304
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 14: photo ID is required, and it kind of is, but

305
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 14: in all actuality it isn't because of the policies that

306
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 14: the Democrats have instituted. There is a there's a loophole,

307
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 14: a fourteen day window where you can register to vote

308
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 14: without a without without being a citizen, and then all

309
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 14: you have to do when you cast your ballot is

310
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 14: sign a piece of paper that says I am who

311
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 14: I say I am in Boom, you cast your ballot

312
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 14: without having to having to prove who you are.

313
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've seen online as well that you can

314
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: vote without an ID, which is just crazy to me.

315
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: That's still a thing, and many have tried to push

316
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: for voter.

317
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 13: ID laws in the state. I want to ask you,

318
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 13: where is.

319
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: The ultimate hurdle that needs to be crossed in order

320
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: to make this happen.

321
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 14: Look, First of all, well, eighty three percent, according to

322
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 14: a Gallup poll, eighty three percent of the population supports

323
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 14: it supports ensuring that only US citizens can vote in

324
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 14: our elections. And so from a hurdle. Standpoint that hurdle

325
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 14: is going to be can we get enough Democrats on

326
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 14: board in order to get two thirds of the House

327
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 14: and two thirds of the Senate to support it and

328
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 14: put it on the ballot. But even if that doesn't happen,

329
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 14: even if I can't get two thirds in the House

330
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 14: and Senate, there's enough, there's a groundswell of support that

331
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 14: tells us that we will be able to do a

332
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 14: citizen led initiative to ensure that it gets on the

333
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 14: ballot that way.

334
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 6: Brian, Look, I've heard it a thousand times over the

335
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 6: last eight years. I know everyone else here has heard

336
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 6: of a thousand times. I've been told, reliably by liberals

337
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: that voter idea is racist.

338
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: I mean, what is.

339
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 6: Your response to such a claim? The people, your opponents

340
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 6: here and the legislature and so on and so forth.

341
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 6: I mean, how do you handle those claims? This is crazy?

342
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 6: We want to arm our audience with that intel.

343
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 14: Number one, that's just flat out posts number two. I

344
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 14: genuinely believe that everybody, regardless of of of race, regardless

345
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 14: of religion, regardless of anything, has the ability to to

346
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 14: to have a license and or a state issue to

347
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 14: I d and that that's my stance, And you're telling

348
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 14: me I'm racist for that, when when the reality is

349
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 14: you genuinely believe that because somebody is white or what

350
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 14: have you, Uh, they have a better likelihood of being

351
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 14: able to do that. I mean, come on, I think

352
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 14: that's just insulting.

353
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to ask you, how prevalent do you

354
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: think it is to have illegals voting in Michigan first off,

355
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: but then country across the country nationwide.

356
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 14: Uh, you know, it's impossible to know. We have no

357
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 14: idea the there is no ability to track this. The

358
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 14: only reason why we know that a foreign a that

359
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 14: a foreign national voting in our election is because after

360
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 14: he cast his ballot, he came forward and said, oh,

361
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 14: by the way, I broke the law. I voted in

362
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 14: your election as.

363
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 13: A foreign as a foreign Did he do that though?

364
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 13: Why did you come forward?

365
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 14: Your guess is as good as mine. I genuinely don't know.

366
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 14: So the reality is we genuinely don't know. It could

367
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 14: be there. Maybe nobody else has ever done it, Maybe

368
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 14: ten thousand people have done it.

369
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: We don't know.

370
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 14: But the fact of the matter is, now that it

371
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 14: has been done, it's been proven that it can be done,

372
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 14: and so the likelihood that more people will try is

373
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 14: probably it's probably more likely. But again, even if just

374
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 14: one US citizen's vote is canceled out by an illegal vote,

375
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 14: that's a problem in my book, and we can fix it.

376
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it cracks me up. In Fetterman on a Sunday

377
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 6: show right after the Pennsylvania election was called, basically went

378
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 6: on and said, oh, it's only you know, one hundred

379
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 6: and fifteen votes were cast illegally. It's not a big deal.

380
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 6: And I just remember everyone going, are you kidding? That's

381
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 6: a lot more than we thought. Are you serious? So

382
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 6: they don't seem to think it's a real problem. Why

383
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 6: is that, Brian?

384
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 14: You know, I think it's I don't know. I wish

385
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 14: I had a good answer for that, because to me,

386
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 14: this again, this is common sense. It's a no brainer.

387
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 14: We only US citizens should vote in our elections.

388
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 4: I have no.

389
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 14: Idea why the Democrats tend to think that it's a

390
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 14: that it's not a problem.

391
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: How do you think Michigan compares to other states in

392
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: terms of election integrity?

393
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 13: I'll be honest. I know a couple of people in.

394
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 2: California that said, yeah, my housekeeper is a legal and

395
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: she voted, So it's happening.

396
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 13: It's happening.

397
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 14: Well, no, that's a great question. This is what This

398
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 14: is my take on it. You know, I have a

399
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 14: lot of trust for the local and county clerks throughout

400
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 14: the state of Michigan. I genuinely believe that they do

401
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 14: everything that they can to run fair and free and

402
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 14: transparent elections. I can't necessarily say the same thing about

403
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 14: our Secretary of State Joscelyn Benson, who has tried to

404
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 14: skirt the law every way which informed that she can,

405
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 14: and has been slapped down by the Supreme Court a

406
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 14: number of times. And so I think at the local

407
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 14: level we do a very good job. At the state

408
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 14: level we could have some improvement.

409
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: Ran before we let you go, Where can people find

410
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: you and find out more information on this initiative?

411
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 14: So you can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all

412
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 14: of them. My name is Representative Brian Posthumus, It's Brya

00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 14: best places to follow me.

415

Speaker 2: All right, Well, we're looking forward to a great work

416
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: up in Michigan.

417
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 13: We need it.

418
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Representative, Thank you for having me of course,

419
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: thank you all.

420
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 13: Right, and coming out.

421
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: The fallout continues in the aftermath of a song's oustir

422
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: in Syria. What does this mean for the US interests

423
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: in the region. Our very own Tara Doll joins us

424
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: to break it all down. We're back in just a moment.

425
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 13: Don't go anywhere.

426
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to special reports. We're following some international reports today.

427
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: The fallout in Syria continues after the outstir of Syrian

428
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: dictator Asad and the takeover of Damascus by Turkish back jihadis.

429
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: Taradal joins us to discuss a little bit more about this.

430
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 13: Now.

431
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Israel has been conducting hundreds of airstrikes on Syrian military assets.

432
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: So what is the latest of what is happening there.

433
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 15: It's pretty complex, it is, And what is happening Israel

434
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 15: has taken over territory right now up in the north

435
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 15: and they have taken it Mount Herman, which is actually

436
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 15: ancient Israel.

437
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: That's where Joshua actually took that.

438
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 15: Land, and they have taken it now and they're getting

439
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 15: a lot of pushback.

440
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 13: It seems like nobody's.

441
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 15: The international community, Emily doesn't seem to care about the

442
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 15: Jahadas that have just taken over Syria. They're more concerned

443
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 15: about Israel taking territory, but that's not surprising.

444
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: Because it's always Israel's fault.

445
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 15: But ultimately Israel has to take that. All they're doing

446
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 15: is taken into the buffer zone and they're not going

447
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 15: into Damascus. As you see the mainstream media, some of

448
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 15: the news reports are saying they're going all the way

449
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 15: into Damascus.

450
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: That's not true.

451
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 15: They're controlling that buffer zone because they're getting the high

452
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 15: ground so that that they're for the citizens up in

453
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 15: the north can return home and live in peace. But ultimately,

454
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 15: right now you've got the Jahadis forces right now under HTS.

455
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 15: They've taken over Damascus, and then you also have Urduwan's

456
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 15: opposition forces and the Jahadis that are killing the Kurds.

457
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 15: Now they are taking over areas where the Kurds controlled.

458
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 15: So what's happening in Syria is you're really seeing this

459
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 15: reshaping of the Middle East ultimately, and you're seeing the

460
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 15: end of Ata Turks one hundred year of secular Turkey.

461
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 15: That's what's playing out before us.

462
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: But we know that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natnyah, who

463
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: has certainly been very outspoken about the conflict in this region.

464
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: In fact, he said that Israel dismantled forty five years

465
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: of Iranian warfare in fourteen months. So how is this

466
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: weakening Iranian influence in the region.

467
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 15: Well, that's ultimately what's happening. I mean, here you have

468
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 15: Biden coming out and trying to take credit for the

469
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 15: fall of Asad. Well, ultimately, yes, it is part of

470
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 15: Obama's Arab Spring or Arab Spring countries that they overthrew.

471
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 15: When you look at under the Obama administration, you had Egypt,

472
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 15: you had you had Libya, you head Tunisia, you had Yemen,

473
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 15: you had Ukraine. Also that they were doing their coups

474
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 15: and overthrowing their regimes and Syria never fall fell.

475
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 13: And why is that?

476
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 15: Well, it's because the Obama administration were playing both sides.

477
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 15: They were funding Iran, which was funding a Sad, and

478
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 15: then you had Russia step in and stop the overthrow Basad.

479
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you I spent a lot.

480
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 15: Of time over there in Syria under the Obama administration,

481
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 15: and I first met with the opposition forces, and I

482
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 15: learned I would go I'd fly from Egypt and I'd

483
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 15: fly over to Lebanon. I'd fly into Turkey and I

484
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 15: would meet with these fighters that would come off the

485
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 15: front lines and they would tell me, well, you can't

486
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 15: trust these people. You can't trust this group because they're

487
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 15: all Nosra, the Jehadis. So then I realized you can't

488
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 15: really fund the opposition. So then I went into Damascus

489
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 15: and I just sneak into Damascus, and what I saw

490
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 15: on Damascus was I saw the Syrian tanks supporting the churches,

491
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 15: but it was also very cryptic. I also was warned

492
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 15: very much about you can't trust a saw it. Ultimately,

493
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 15: he's killing hundreds and hundreds of the Syrian people and

494
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 15: the young boys that were going to war having to

495
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 15: be sent to war. So there's no good side and

496
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 15: the only good side are the Kurds, and that's ultimately

497
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 15: where we need to go. But this is from Israel, Emilam,

498
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 15: and ultimately what's happening, this is from Israel. Israel was

499
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 15: able to go in there. It started with the when

500
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 15: they went after has Blood and they did the Pager.

501
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 15: Remember all those pages and thousands of hes Blood members

502
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 15: that were wounded and killed by the Pagers. It goes

503
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 15: all the way back to that, and now you're seeing

504
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 15: this crippling of the Islamic Republic in Syria and it's

505
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 15: creating now a vacuum. And that's what is so key,

506
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 15: and that's why Israel is going in there the conducting

507
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 15: the air strikes against the Syrian navy. They're conducting the

508
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 15: air stras against the chemical weapons, the military assets that

509
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 15: they need to so that we don't have another Libya

510
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 15: and we can all learn lessons from Libya when Goaddafi

511
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 15: was overthrown.

512
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: My gosh, Tera, you have such experience on the ground

513
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: there in the Middle East. I can't even imagine the

514
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: things that you've seen. But I do want to ask

515
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: you about this quickly. The Manjib region. We know that

516
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: the Turkish back militants, they took control of this area

517
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: from the US allied Kurdish forces. So why is this

518
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: so significant at this point?

519
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 15: Is why this is what really matters? And that is

520
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 15: such a great question, Emily, because that is where you're

521
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 15: seeing Erduwan's forces right now. They basically are gone to

522
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 15: war against the Kurds, and the Kurds are our only allies.

523
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 15: They've been allies for generations. I mean, you go back

524
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 15: to the nineteen ninety one.

525
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: The Gulf War.

526
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 15: We have always been allied with the Kurds. I spent

527
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 15: a lot of time in northern Iraq with the Kurds

528
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 15: embedded with the Kurds. Gave my life, you know, put

529
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 15: my life in their hands during the war against Isis.

530
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 15: And they are our trusted ally and they fought side

531
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 15: by side and they still are with our US troops.

532
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 15: We have nine hundred troops over in Syria right now

533
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 15: protecting and standing with the Syrian Democratic forces and the Kurds,

534
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 15: and Turkey wants to annihilate them. And it's so important

535
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 15: to understand Ertowan's ambitions and his ideology. It is no

536
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 15: longer the secular Turkey that we saw under Erduwan's two generations.

537
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 15: Over twenty years that he's been in power, he has completely.

538
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: Transformed that military.

539
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 15: He has removed the Western generals, the Western military. They

540
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 15: are no longer that NATO ally that they used to

541
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 15: be with the United States.

542
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: And that changes the dynamics over and you.

543
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 15: Have to put that into perspective when we're looking at Turkey,

544
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 15: their forces, what his ideology is, what are his ambitions.

545
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: We know that they have come out against Israel.

546
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 15: We know that some of these opposition terrorists are saying

547
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 15: that they want to go into Israel and invade Israel.

548
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 15: So those are all things that Israel has to do.

549
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 15: That's why they've got to create those buffer zones. That's

550
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 15: why they have to be there to protect their country

551
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 15: because it is not they are not a friend of Israel.

552
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: My gosh, everything you're describing as a quite frankly pretty

553
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: terrifying for the trajectory of all of these conflicts and

554
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, they've been making some interesting moves here

555
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: lately as well. Right now, they're considering recognizing the new

556
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: Jahadis regime in Syria if it renounces terror and supports women,

557
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: and is even considering removing the terrorist designation from this group.

558
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: This cannot be a good policy, right.

559
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 15: No, I mean, that's what Biden is doing right now.

560
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 15: They're actually considering removing HTS, which is a designated terrorist organization. Julani,

561
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 15: who is the head of it, is a terrorist designation

562
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 15: with a ten million dollar bounty on his head, who

563
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 15: has given an oath to zarahiro in al Qaeda, and

564
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 15: so this is a branch of al Qaida, and he's

565
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 15: trying to be normalized.

566
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: That's the problem.

567
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 15: He's trying to be normal like we are going to

568
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 15: protect the minorities, we are going to have all Syrians,

569
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 15: we are going to be inclusive.

570
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 12: That is a lie.

571
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 15: They understand, they have learned from the past, understand what

572
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 15: they need to do to stay into power. You can

573
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 15: look at the Taliban, you can look at Libya, you

574
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 15: can look at any other country where they have come

575
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 15: to power and they know that they will be targeted

576
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 15: and will not have the international support if they come

577
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 15: out and remain Jahatis, you.

578
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Just won't have that.

579
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 15: So they're taking these lessons that we've seen, like from

580
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 15: the Taliban and in Libya, and they are saying they're

581
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 15: going to protect the minorities.

582
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: But that is a lie.

583
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 15: And so here you have the Biden administration acting like

584
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 15: they are actually considering normalizing relations with the Jahadis while

585
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 15: you look at how they treat Israel. So this is

586
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 15: just another example of really it is it's the Obama administration,

587
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 15: now it's the Biden and Harris administration, but they have

588
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 15: given this rise to the Jahadis, and we've seen it

589
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 15: over and over again with their policies. So there is

590
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 15: in no way, no way should they be giving any

591
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 15: normalization at all.

592
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: And this HTS.

593
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 15: Cannot stay in power in Syria. They should not be

594
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 15: allowed to stay in power. There should be no that

595
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 15: they are being liberators in any kind of way, because

596
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 15: they're true colors as we know, they are Al Qaeda,

597
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 15: they are Jahadis. They will be worse than the Taliban

598
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 15: in Syria.

599
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: My god, Tara, Well, you are such a wealth of

600
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: knowledge on all of these topics, and I'm more thankful

601
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: than ever that President Trump was elected and now he's

602
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: coming in, you know, in just a few weeks with

603
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: his policies to try to unravel all of this. But

604
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: before we do, let you go, I want to ask

605
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: you about the House hearing today on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal,

606
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: with Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln testifying. Do you think

607
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: there's ever going to be accountability for this? I mean,

608
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: my mind thinks about the people hanging on to the

609
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: airplanes as they were trying to exit. I mean, where's

610
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: the accountability? And that's the whole thing today too.

611
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 15: Here you have Secretary Blincoln and with this hearing, and

612
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 15: there is there's been no one that has been held accountable.

613
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 13: Just think of that.

614
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Think of that.

615
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 15: There has been no one that has been held accountable.

616
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 15: And the only person that had any kind of punishment,

617
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 15: any kind of consequences, was a lieutenant colonel who spoke

618
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 15: out against the witch all. He got removed, he got

619
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 15: in trouble, and that was the only person. So there

620
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 15: has And you look at the thirteen Americans that were lost.

621
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 15: But then you also look at the billions of dollars

622
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 15: and weapons that we gave over to the Taliban, and

623
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 15: you think of the consequences right now that we have

624
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 15: all over because you have that, you have unleashed these terrorists.

625
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 15: And then you have Blincoln that was testifying, Emily, I

626
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 15: could not believe it, and he was saying, you know

627
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 15: that Afghanistan is going to be a good place again

628
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 15: and that al Qaida will not be there, which is

629
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 15: a total lie.

630
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: And we're going to cover more on this.

631
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 15: Derek Harvey is joining us tomorrow, Emily, fantastic to discuss

632
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 15: more of it.

633
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'm certainly excited to hear more about that, Tara.

634
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Make sure all our viewers are tuning in to hear

635
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: all of the latest. Tara, thank you for being here.

636
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 15: Simmily.

637
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, the great state of Texas continues

638
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: to fight to preserve its values and protect their economy.

639
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: We will discuss with Patriot Mobile right after the break.

640
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: We'll be back in just a moment.

641
00:29:51,360 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 12: Stay with us, well.

642
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 6: Our next guest is the chief communications officer for Patriot Mobile,

643
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 6: the only Christian conservative wireless provider that stands behind their

644
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 6: service and their values. Lee Wamsgans joins us. Welcome, Lee,

645
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 6: how are you.

646
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 16: Hey, I'm great, Thanks for having me, Ah, thanks for

647
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 16: coming on.

648
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: Love the pink by the way, great color.

649
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 13: Lee. You're in Dallas, Texas.

650
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: Let's start off by discussing the illegal migration that is

651
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: taking over.

652
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 13: How is it affecting Texans?

653
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 16: Well, it's really pretty tragic, to be honest with you.

654
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 16: This has been an invasion for a number of years.

655
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 16: In twenty twenty three, there was a study that showed

656
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 16: over eleven million illegal migrants crossing our border. And that

657
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 16: is just the ones that we know of. The godaways

658
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 16: are ten full debt. But let's just focus on that

659
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 16: million number. If it was only eleven million, that's still

660
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 16: larger than the population of fourteen states. You know, people

661
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 16: here are a lot of numbers on television, but they've

662
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 16: got to realize that and what that means to their

663
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 16: real life. There was a study last year in twenty

664
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 16: twenty three about what that cost Texans, and that cost

665
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 16: Texans over thirteen billion dollars annually. You know, that's a

666
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 16: lot of money for our thirty million population. Think about

667
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 16: it this way. In Texas, we don't have a state

668
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 16: income tax, so we pay for medical bills through the

669
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 16: hospital line items on our property tax. And it is

670
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 16: really taxing Texans out of their home. So keep in

671
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 16: mind also that thirteen billion dollars annually. That was a

672
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 16: twenty twenty three study. And Governor Abbott just this August

673
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 16: created an executive order that is now requiring Texas to

674
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 16: start counting the public hospital metad care that is going

675
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 16: toward illegal immigrants. So that thirteen billion doesn't even include

676
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 16: illegal immigrant medical fees. The federal government requires public hospitals

677
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 16: to provide medical care to all illegal aliens and Texas

678
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 16: and Texan taxpayers are paying that bill.

679
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 6: Well, what's thirteen billion between friends? If you're a radical

680
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 6: liberal who believes in open borders, am I right?

681
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 9: I mean right?

682
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 16: Well, that's what conservatives work for. To fund criminal illegal immigrants.

683
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 6: Unbelievable, unbelievable. I want to move on. Obviously, we've got

684
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 6: President elector Trump coming into office, and he means to

685
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 6: bring our economy back to its former success, even surpass it,

686
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 6: make America great again. Now, talk to us a little

687
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 6: bit about why having a good economy is so important

688
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 6: to Americans.

689
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 16: Well, absolutely, you know, the economy was a real deciding

690
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 16: factor in this election, and we're so excited about President

691
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 16: Trump and that border holds a huge issue in that economy.

692
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 16: As I just explained in Texans are really excited about

693
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 16: President Trump's appointment of borders are Tom Holman. We think

694
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 16: we're finally going to have an America first border policy.

695
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 16: November fifth was not only an America first mandate, it

696
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 16: was a Texas first mandate, and Texans are ready to

697
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 16: have a better economy. That election flipped over nine counties

698
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 16: in Texas, a lot of those southern border counties affected

699
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 16: hugely by illegal immigration, but also affected by the Biden

700
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 16: Harris economy. You know, when families can't buy groceries and

701
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 16: can't put gas in their car, they start to reevaluate

702
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 16: their political decisions. Texas had a huge outreach to those

703
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 16: southern and many major Hispanic communities to just talk to

704
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 16: them about the reality, tell them how they've been lied to,

705
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 16: and you don't have to talk much when they realize, yeah,

706
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 16: I can't put gas in my car to get to

707
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 16: my job, I can't afford to put food on the

708
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 16: table for my children. And so that's one of the

709
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 16: sins that those counties flipped.

710
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: Well, let's switch gears here and talk a little bit

711
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: about Patriot Mobile. This company is truly about promoting the

712
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: United States and its values, our Constitution, our military.

713
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 13: Tell us a little bit about them.

714
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 16: So Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cellular service provider,

715
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 16: and we're on four G, five G, We're on the

716
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 16: three major networks across America. The difference is we exist

717
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 16: as a mission. We exist to glorify God, we exist

718
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 16: to give back, and we contribute to four major pillars,

719
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 16: the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life,

720
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 16: and our military and first responders. Another group that we formed,

721
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 16: which is a separate legal entity, but Patriot Mobile the

722
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 16: company gives to is the Patriot Mobile Action Political Action Committee,

723
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 16: and Patriot Mobile over the last two years has put

724
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 16: over well over a million dollars into keeping Texas read

725
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 16: because we're that committed to Texas and while we're a

726
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 16: state pack, those election results were really critical to our

727
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 16: nation because, as you know, as Texas goes, so goes

728
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 16: the nation. With those forty electoral votes, Patriot mobiles the

729
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 16: real deal. You can bring your same phone, you can

730
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 16: port your phone number over. The more customers we have,

731
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 16: the more we can give to our military, our first responders,

732
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 16: the sanctity of life, First Amendment, and just making sure

733
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 16: that no one is able to take our guns or

734
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 16: infringe upon our Second Amendment rights.

735
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 6: Well, amen, Well, tell us a little bit more about

736
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 6: the state pack. Walk us through some of the things

737
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 6: that you've been successful, you know, important to implementing since

738
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 6: you know you've put this into action.

739
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 16: Sure, it was just formed in twenty twenty two, and

740
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 16: right off the bat, we took on eleven school board races.

741
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 16: They were not easy races. They took a lot of

742
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 16: hard work and a significant.

743
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 13: Amount of money.

744
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 16: We won all eleven, eventually one of those with a runoff.

745
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 16: What that meant to North Texas is over one hundred

746
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 16: thousand North Texas students that prior to that race had

747
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 16: liberal majorities on their school board. After that race had

748
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 16: conservative majorities on their school board. We used that data

749
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 16: in May twenty twenty two, the majority of Texas's school elections.

750
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 16: Municipal elections are held in May. We took that data

751
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 16: on to November twenty twenty four. Now, these weren't while

752
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 16: Texas has grown, These weren't necessarily new voters. It used

753
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 16: to be that Texans really took for granted that Texas

754
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 16: was read and they stayed on their couch during election times.

755
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 16: What got them off the couch is when they saw

756
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 16: what was happening to their kids in their school districts.

757
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 16: And those people did come back in twenty twenty two,

758
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 16: and we turned what had turned purple in twenty twenty,

759
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 16: which is Terren County, the largest red county in the

760
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 16: nation by the way, with over two point three million people,

761
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 16: larger than fifteen states, in twenty twenty two, turned it

762
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 16: solidly back to red. So that's one of the other

763
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 16: contributions that Patriot Mobile has done. By contributing to Patriot

764
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 16: Mobile action Pack.

765
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 2: About thirty seconds left here tell us where people can

766
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: find more information about Patriot Mobile.

767
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 16: You can go to Patriotmobile dot com or call nine

768
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 16: seven two Patriot. Another difference with US is you will

769
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 16: get all US based customer service answering those phones.

770
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: Isn't that a beautiful thing US based customer service.

771
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 13: Thank you so much for being with us today.

772
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 16: Thank you, God bless you guys, God bless.

773
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 2: I love seeing Patriot companies. And again, as we always say,

774
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: it starts at the local level.

775
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 13: That's why it's so important to get involved.

776
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: Well, coming up, actor Kirk Cameron talks about his new

777
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: book and TV series that brings wholesome virtues back to

778
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: kids entertainment.

779
00:37:34,200 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 17: We are back in just a moment with more.

780
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 3: Open to gold IRA with Birch Gold Group and get

781
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 3: free silver coins.

782
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 4: Shipped directly to your home.

783
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: That's right, it's the most wonderful time of the year,

784
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 3: the time of the year when Birch Gold gives away

785
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 3: a free silver American Eagle coin for every five thousand

786
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: dollars purchase. And here's the best part. You don't have

787
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 3: to pay a penny out of pocket. By December twentieth,

788
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: simply convert an existing IRA or four one k into

789
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: attack sheltered IRA in precious metals and Birch Gold will

790
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 3: send your free silver coins directly to your home.

791
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: Oh now you might be thinking, why do you need

792
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: to diversify into gold? Well, our guys headed to DC.

793
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: Things are good. Here's the facts.

794
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 13: Though.

795
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: An administration trying to put a dent in a thirty six

796
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: trillion dollars national debt is in just four years is

797
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,959
Speaker 2: just like a field mouse trying to stop a freight train.

798
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: We can't even afford to pay the interest on the debt,

799
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 2: let alone the principle, so better be safe than sorry.

800
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 13: Take action now. To protect your savings.

801
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: Text the word America to ninety eight ninety eight, nine

802
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 2: and eight for a free infolkits on gold and to

803
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: clean your eligibility for free silver on your purchase from

804
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: Birch Gold. But you must do this buying December twentieth. Again,

805
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: text America to the number ninety eight ninety eight ninety

806
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: eight for peace of mind that lasts longer than these

807
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 2: next four years.

808
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 9: God made each one of us different for a reason,

809
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 9: and it's our differences that make us special. Because God

810
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 9: doesn't make mistakes.

811
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 14: I guess that means that God didn't make a mistake

812
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 14: with me.

813
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 4: He made a work of art with you.

814
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 9: I'd say, a true, one of a kind masterpiece.

815
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 13: Meants ah, well, welcome.

816
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 4: Back to special report. That isn't that just heartwarming?

817
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 6: Reed?

818
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, what are our kids watching?

819
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 3: Well, if you paid attention over the last few years,

820
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 3: you would see how progressivism was placed in a fair

821
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: amount of children's material, and even those delivering that material

822
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: might be the product of a woke system such as

823
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: drag Queen's delivering Storytime Library.

824
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 2: Oh but those who make quality kids entertainment notice that

825
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: and push back to create content that wasn't pushing an

826
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: ideological agenda, but rather basic American, wholesome and noble values.

827
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 13: Kirk Cameron has.

828
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: Written a book called Adventures of Iggy and Mister Kirk,

829
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: which has now been adapted into a television show. Kirk

830
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: joins us live now. Kirk, thanks so much for being

831
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: with us today.

832
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 9: Oh, it's my pleasure. Great to be with you, and

833
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 9: thank you for all the great work that you're doing

834
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 9: highlighting all the right stories and pushing all of the

835
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 9: right values. I and my family appreciate you, guys.

836
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 13: Well, we're all in this together, thanks Kirk.

837
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 3: And it's a time of year to celebrate family values

838
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 3: and I'm So, Glad Kirk that you've created this book

839
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: in this TV show because kids can be easily swayed

840
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: by our culture, which promotes ideals entirely antithetical to what

841
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: a kid should be learning. So when you began developing

842
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: this show, what were the ideals and values you wanted

843
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 3: to focus upon that we're missing in today's entertainment.

844
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 9: Well, all of this got started a couple of Christmases

845
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 9: ago when I wrote a book called As You Grow,

846
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 9: and it teaches children how to grow the fruit of

847
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 9: the Spirit, like love and joy and peace, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness,

848
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 9: and self control. And I went to read that book

849
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 9: in a public library. In fact, I tried in many,

850
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 9: but I was denied by over fifty woke libraries that

851
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 9: previously held drag queen story hours for children. So if

852
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 9: you're a dude in a miniskirt with high high heels

853
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 9: and fishnet stockings, you're welcome with open arms. But if

854
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 9: you want to come in and teach about faith, hope

855
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 9: and love, it was a hard no. We pushed back,

856
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 9: went to libraries all over the country and grandparents and

857
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 9: parents and kids came out in droves, and they're saying,

858
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 9: we want these values. We want these pro god pro

859
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 9: America values. So we are now redeeming screen time and

860
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 9: taking all of these books with great moral lessons, turning

861
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 9: them into episodes of the Adventures of Iggy and mister Kirk.

862
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 9: It's a modernized version of Mister Rogers meets a faith forward,

863
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 9: family friendly Sesame Street if you can imagine that. So

864
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 9: it's hilarious. It's high energy, beautiful animation, live action, and

865
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 9: it's going to be reinforcing the values that American parents

866
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 9: want to teach their children at home.

867
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 13: Ah, this is so cool. I just love watching the images.

868
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 2: Right now, you play a retired pilot with a puppet

869
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: iguana named Iggy. Now, this is kind of reminiscent of

870
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 2: mister Rogers, as you had mentioned, which most of today's

871
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: kids may never see. I remember it as a child,

872
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: unless by accident, of course. How did you manage to

873
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: bring that mister Rogers esque vintage quality to the modern

874
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: world of entertainment.

875
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 9: Well, when you watch the show, you'll find plenty of differences.

876
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 9: Like we're talking with children about topics like identity and

877
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 9: about the dangers of socialism. We're talking about the sanctity

878
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 9: of life. This is not stuff that mister Rodgers had

879
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 9: to deal with per se because cultural times were different then,

880
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 9: we had different more standards to deal with then. But

881
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 9: there are serious mister Rodgers vibes, like not a cardigan jacket,

882
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 9: but I have a leather jacket. And in the evening,

883
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 9: I sit down and I read a story to Iggy,

884
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 9: and I tuck him in at night, and I give

885
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 9: him the Lord's blessing. May the Lord bless you and

886
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 9: keep you, and make his face shine upon you and

887
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 9: give you peace. It's a time to slow down with

888
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 9: the kid, look them in the eye, together with the parents,

889
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 9: and talk about things that are happening in their day

890
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 9: and affecting them as they frame their the world that

891
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 9: they see around them. And we want to do that

892
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 9: with biblical values. We want them to love God, love

893
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 9: their family, and love their country. So parents are crying

894
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 9: out for this. Many think that, oh, you know, I

895
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 9: turn on the TV and all I see is woke stuff. Well,

896
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 9: this is the non woke version of Sesame Street. There

897
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 9: will be no gay dinosaurs or transducts teaching your children

898
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 9: about sexuality and morality. You'll have trusted sources like Brave

899
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 9: books and me. I hope you trust me to teach

900
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 9: children about the things that will lead to their blessing

901
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 9: and their protection.

902
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're certainly meeting that need. Kirk.

903
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 3: Well, our kids and I have a ten month old boy,

904
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 3: are being entranced by screens because they're everywhere, they're portable,

905
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: and they engage a kid for hours. So is screen

906
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 3: time necessarily a bad thing if they can watch programs

907
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 3: like Adventures of Biggie and Mister Kirk.

908
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 9: No, I think screen time can be a good thing,

909
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 9: just like anything else. And we know this, We know

910
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 9: this instinctively. Guns aren't bad, but bad people can use

911
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 9: them to do bad things. But they can be wonderful protections.

912
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 9: That's why that they're enshrined into our constitution and the

913
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 9: Bill of Rights, and the same with a car, the

914
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 9: same with money. Money's not bad, but if we use

915
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 9: it wrongly, And screens can be a portal to hell

916
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 9: for children if they get going down the wrong r

917
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 9: hole on the internet, or they can be windows to

918
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 9: values that will bless them and bring about their protection.

919
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 9: And that's what we want to do, is redeem technology

920
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 9: so that it can be a tool in the hands

921
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 9: of parents to teach their children how to use responsibly.

922
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 9: And look at us right now. We're using screens and

923
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 9: we're doing the very thing we're talking about, highlighting the

924
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 9: good and using it to overcome evil.

925
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: It's funny how technology works. We've come a long way.

926
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: I will say that was one good thing of COVID.

927
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: But Kirk, what are parents missing if they aren't paying

928
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: attention to what their kids are watching?

929
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 13: I mean, what all is out there? I can't even imagine.

930
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't have a kid yet, but it's frightening to

931
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: know the content that they're consuming, most likely accidentally.

932
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right. And it's not only in the screens.

933
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 9: But when we started outsourcing our parenting and what I

934
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 9: mean by that we don't think of it that way,

935
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 9: but when the early founders of public education like borus

936
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 9: Man and others had the idea that parents weren't qualified,

937
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 9: or they were too busy, or education's too important to

938
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 9: leave into the hands of mom and dad, they started

939
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 9: creating a system that essentially began to remove the spiritual foundations,

940
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 9: and we became a moral standard to ourselves. And now

941
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 9: anything is acceptable, and we see phenomenally horrific things being

942
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 9: taught to our children in the name of healthcare, child

943
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 9: mutilation is now gender affirming care, and so many other things.

944
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 9: If we really want to bless and protect our children,

945
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 9: we've got to rediscover the sacred duty of being in

946
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 9: the leadership position with regard to their education. Make sure

947
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 9: that you're the gatekeeper for what they see, and understand

948
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 9: that simply complaining about what about the darkness won't help

949
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 9: your kids. We've got to create the light and build

950
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 9: the world that we want for them, and we do

951
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 9: that by nourishing their hearts and minds with good stories,

952
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 9: good values, and leading by example.

953
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: Doubt well, Kirk.

954
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 3: You know a very popular YouTube series is Miss Rachel,

955
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 3: and I'll admit it's simple, it's clever, it's educational.

956
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 4: And very musical, even which honestly it looks it looks harmless.

957
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: It does, and I'm a musician, so I see, you

958
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: know the musical lessons being taught, which I think is valuable. However,

959
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 3: there is a trans person who was in her cast,

960
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: which caused some outrage from conservative Matt Walsh. So I

961
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 3: just want to ask gets your take on this. If

962
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,479
Speaker 3: a character like that is teaching basic phonics or music

963
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 3: for instance, and not morality, is is Matt Walsh's outrage merited.

964
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 9: I think it is. I think it is. And we

965
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 9: have to understand that there's I don't know, I'm trying

966
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 9: to think of the right phrase for this, but we've

967
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 9: we've got to understand that we've gotten ourselves into the

968
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 9: mess that we're in and and all of this has

969
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 9: happened on our watch. We go back fifty years ago,

970
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 9: nobody would have imagined that any of this ever could

971
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 9: have possibly happened. Good has become evil, evil has become good.

972
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 9: Men can now give birth and it's unreal. But that's

973
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 9: because we have allowed this to take place. We haven't

974
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 9: been on the offense as the family of faith. Those

975
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 9: who who love God, loved the scriptures, loved the family.

976
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 9: And what we need to understand is that if we

977
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 9: don't actively promote the truth, evil will slide in and

978
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 9: replace the truth. And so while we want to be

979
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 9: kind and loving and gracious to people personally, and we

980
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 9: want to establish relationships so that truth can be spoken

981
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 9: in love on the on the big you know, the

982
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 9: big culture shaping level, we've got to stand for righteousness

983
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 9: and truth unapologetically and unswervingly. So there's a balance that

984
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 9: we have to find there. It's not a compromise between

985
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 9: the two. It's not either or, it's both and in

986
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 9: the right sphere.

987
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 13: Kirk, before we.

988
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 2: Let you go, where can parents find your show?

Speaker 4: You must have had so much fun making this, Kirk.

998
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm envious of you in that way because

999
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 3: it looks so fun to be with this.

Speaker 2: If you need an extra, bo is volunteering just so now.

1001
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 3: Look, I'm watching both now as parent and content creator.

1002
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 3: I think it's important that what you're doing, so it's

1003
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 3: just really amazing work. So, Kirk, thank you so much
