First, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the 12 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: United States and China have reached a substantial framework in 13 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: trade talks already, further explaining that the President has given 14 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: a maximum leverage around the Rare Earth mineral policy, threatening 15 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: one hundred percent terrorifts if the Chinese and are implementing 16 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: end up implementing any kind of rare earth export controls on. 17 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: The United States. 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: Secretary Bessett also revealed that the two countries have reached 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: what he called a final deal on TikTok that would 20 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: allow the social media giant to remain operational in the 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: United States. 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: That deal will also be. 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: Made official after President Trump meets with Ejijiping on Thursday's 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: US investors owning eighty percent of the apps US operations, 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: with Chinese parent company by Dance owning a twenty percent stake. 26 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: The big question will be who owns the algorithm. We 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: should learn more about that over the next couple of days. 28 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: We also have some big news coming from the FBI 29 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: to get to dealing with the bureaus policy of building 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: alliances with local police departments. It's resulting in some major wins. 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: The most recent was Operation Chalk Line, which used fourteen 32 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: SWAT teams to penetrate street gangs that have been terrorizing 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: the cities of Milwaukee and Racine in southeastern Wisconsin. FBI 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: Deputy Director Dan Bongino praised it over the weekend. Officials 35 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: said the raids around Milwaukee were the product of a 36 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: year long investigation that brought state and federal partners together. 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: Pretty successful preperation, and by the way, the gangs they 38 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: took down had ties to international cartel sitting. Weren't just 39 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: even terrorizing in Wisconsin, they were all over the world. 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: That's just the latest example. 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: The partnerships known as Homeland Security task Forces that brought 42 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: together FBI and HSI personnel as well as task force 43 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: officers officers from local, state and federal partner agencies. The 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: target transnational organized crime activity. That's what they're bringing out, 45 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: things like drug trafficking and human trafficking. Big wins cities 46 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: are a lot saferer. There were five cities that had 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: major raids last week where those task forces were fast 48 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: at work. 49 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: All right, Great. 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: Time to bring in my amazing coast Amanda head from 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: more Headlines, Amanda, what. 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: Do you got cooking? 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, John, I want to get out to that 54 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: big mayoral race in New York City for just a minute, 55 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: because it has obviously been dominating. 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: The national conversation lately. 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: Not necessarily because it deals with the future of America's 58 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: biggest city. That of course is a huge consideration, but 59 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: it also deals with the future of the Democrat Party. 60 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: Which way should they go? 61 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: Should they come closer to the center and moderate their positions, 62 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: like some perceive the twenty twenty four results show, or 63 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: should they swing further to the left like others argue 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four election shows. And it seems that 65 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: we have our answer in as of New York City 66 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: Democrat mayoral candidate Zrun mam Dani. It's widely predicted that 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: Mamdani is going to be the next mayor of New 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: York City. And let's just say that some of his 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: policy prescriptions aren't that of your mom and dad's Democrat party. 70 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: Here he was explaining at a rally but held that 71 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: he held over the weekend. 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 5: We are going to freeze the rent for more than 73 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: two million rent stabilized tenants and use every resource at 74 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 5: our disposal to build housing for everyone who needs it. 75 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 5: We are going to eliminate the fair on every single 76 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 5: bus line, and we are going to create universal childcare 77 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 5: at no cost to parents. 78 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 79 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: I mean that all sounds great in theory, but who 80 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: is going to pay for it all? As the Great 81 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 3: Iron Lady said, socialism is great, and so you run 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 3: out of other people's money. So will it be the 83 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 3: white neighborhoods that mom Donnie has said that he wants 84 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: to tax more. Kind of seems like it, But this 85 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 3: is who the Democrats have decided is going to be 86 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: their standard at bear don't believe me. While here is 87 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: Governor Kathy Hochel at that very same rally, Alex arn 88 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 3: we take back America. 89 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 6: Thank you Queens, Thank you New York.

That billionaires will open up a place 99 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: in Florida and only stay in New York five months 100 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: a month. They won't pay their taxes, middle class won't 101 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: be able afford it. They're gonna leave, and you're gonna 102 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: have a ghost town that can't pay for anything in 103 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: New York. That's the dynamic that all the economists I'm 104 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: talking to are talking about. 105 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 4: You're a different Democrat party from when you started covering. 106 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: Politics, one hundred different. 107 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a different Democrat party like that. 108 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: It looks more like Castro than it looks like of 109 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 2: the nineteen nineties. It's pretty remarkable, all right, Well, helping 110 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: to make sense of all that we just talked about 111 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: at the top of the show, joining us now. They're 112 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: great representative from the state of North Carolina.

Already deals with 118 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: Australia and Southeastern Asian nations to get us where Earth, 119 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: putting us back on a better footing after years of 120 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: China doing that, a framework of a trade in tariff 121 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: deal that could obviously Wall Street liked a lot today, 122 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: and then of course getting TikTok in American hands. China 123 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: ran wild for four years under Joe Biden, but it 124 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: feels like President Trump is starting to level. 125 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: The playing field. What are you seeing. 126 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: What do you expect to come out of the meeting 127 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: with President she later this week. 128 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 7: Well, John, one of the things that I'm seeing is 129 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 7: that we need not be too quick to forget that 130 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 7: Joe Biden and his leadership retreated from the world stage. 131 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 7: And what I think you're seeing happening this week, and 132 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 7: we've been seeing in these weeks leading up to now, 133 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 7: that President Trump is reasserting the bold leadership that the 134 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 7: United States of America has really needed to have on 135 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 7: the world stage. And he is bringing us back in 136 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 7: a very strong way. And I'm very very hopeful. You 137 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 7: see the work that's already happened. He had a piece 138 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 7: deal that he simply was able to go and witness 139 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 7: just the other day. He's now meeting with the Prime 140 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 7: Minister of Japan. He's looking for more trade opportunities, I know, 141 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 7: some things to try to help our farmers here in 142 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 7: the United States, even the soybean purchases of some other countries. 143 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 7: So there are things like that that he is doing 144 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 7: that I'm very very excited about. And then, of course, 145 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 7: much of this is leading up to the meeting that 146 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 7: he's going to have with President Chi toward the end 147 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 7: of the week, and the framework is already it seems 148 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 7: to be put in place for that meeting, and I'm 149 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 7: very very grateful American leadership is back under this president, 150 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 7: and I think the American people ought to be very excited. 151 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: Congressman, there are a number of industries that are rich 152 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: in North Carolina. President Trump has often spoken and tweeted 153 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: about the furniture industry and bringing that back to States Lake, 154 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: North Carolina. But I also with President Trump having these 155 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: conversations with China, it also brings about the conversation of 156 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: bringing those pharmaceutical active ingredients on shoring them back to 157 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: the United States, which I think Raleigh, North Carolina has 158 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: a huge industry when it comes to pharmaceutical R and D. 159 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: That would really really go a long way in boosting 160 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: North Carolina, especially in those cities, wouldn't. 161 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 7: It, no doubt about it. Research Triangle part there in 162 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 7: Raleigh is a big area that we see this kind 163 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 7: of research being done and leading the way around the country. 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 7: And so this will be a big boom to our 165 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 7: entire community. And we're seeing all kinds of things that 166 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 7: are a boom. We see Amazon that's bringing ten billion 167 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 7: dollars to my district that we're very excited about. In fact, 168 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,239 Speaker 7: on Thursday, I'll be a part of a groundbreak ceremonial 169 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 7: groundbreaking that we'll be doing for that in Richmond County. 170 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 7: So just some amazing things that are happening that this 171 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 7: president is taking seriously, the trade efforts and really just 172 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 7: rebuilding our economy. 173 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: Remarkable. 174 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: So I know you've been very concerned about mifiprestoe, and 175 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: not only that it's widespread, this distribution, but the lack 176 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: of medical monitoring, the side effects that moms do suffer 177 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 2: from it that hardly ever gets talking about when you 178 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: talk about planned parenthood. 179 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: Or the media that covers it. 180 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: Can you give us a sense of what is possible, 181 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: what can be done to reign in this drugger, to 182 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: create some regulatory oversight in the next few months, because 183 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: I think a lot of women are growing concerned that 184 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: maybe it's handed out way too easily, to the great 185 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 2: danger of. 186 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: Women who don't get follow up from their doctors. 187 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 7: It is handed out way too easily, and I think 188 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 7: that many of us that have been a part of 189 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 7: the pro life movement across this country for a long 190 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 7: time have been very concerned that when folks can actually 191 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 7: just go to their mailbox and get a pill to 192 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 7: terminate their pregnancy, that is extremely dangerous from the health 193 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 7: care of the woman to the obviously, the termination of 194 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 7: the child is something where extremely concerned about, and we've 195 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 7: seen legislation introduced. I've been a part of it that 196 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 7: would somehow limit and bring that to an end. I 197 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 7: was disappointed recently when the FDA actually approved a generic 198 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 7: form of this and felt like it was out a 199 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 7: step to everything that we have been promoting, and so 200 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 7: we've sent a letter calling for that to be reined 201 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 7: in and for those that are responsible for moving this 202 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 7: generic drug forward to be held accountable. So, again, it's 203 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 7: something very dangerous. It's something that we need to be 204 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 7: aware of. We need to make sure that women are 205 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 7: not in a position where they're going to find themselves 206 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 7: in a medical emergency as a result of taking this 207 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 7: very dangerous drug. Women bleeding out in other instances like 208 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 7: that occurring, and it needs to be when it is administered, 209 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 7: it must be under a doctor's care. I think that 210 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 7: is just a common sense regulation, and we've been pushing 211 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 7: common sense in this Congress, in this administration, and when 212 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 7: you look at Mafetterstron, this is something that we're allowing 213 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 7: to happen without common sense regulations being in place. 214 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 6: Absolutely, sir. 215 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 3: Another social issue involving children. I know that North Carolina 216 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: has a majority red state most of the time anyway, 217 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: parental rights is a big issue. 218 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 6: So you have. 219 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: Statewide a lot of parents who are standing up for 220 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: keeping the gender ideology crap out stuff, sorry out of schools. 221 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: But you have a few certain districts school boards who 222 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: are trying to push it in there. 223 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: What do you do about those. 224 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 7: Well, I think President Trumps being very clear that he 225 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 7: is not going to allow federal funds or any monies 226 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 7: to get to those school districts. And those states that 227 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 7: are allowing boys and girls sports and all those kind 228 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 7: of things, we need to hold them accountable. Of course, 229 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 7: now we've got a Democrat governor in North Carolina and 230 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 7: a Democrat controlled state Board of Education that we've got 231 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 7: to deal with, and those are issues that our state 232 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 7: legislators are having to work through. But again we've got 233 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 7: to use common sense. We've got to make sure that 234 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 7: in all areas of education that the parents' voices are 235 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 7: being heard and again protecting young people in the midst 236 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 7: of it. And again I think that we're making strides 237 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 7: in that direction. But again we've got to make sure 238 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 7: that these school boards are not funded with asking the 239 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 7: taxpayers to continue to put money into something that is 240 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 7: an eighty twenty issue overwhelmingly. 241 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: Another issue that is so popular with the American public 242 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: the crackdown on violent crime, the FBI taking on transnational 243 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: gangs and street gangs and spies and terrorists and record numbers. 244 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: Your state had one of the most horrifying crimes of 245 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: the last year. A young woman who fled Ukraine and 246 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: the horrors of war coming here for a new life. 247 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: It stabbed against by a guy who was repeatedly released 248 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: despite his dangerous and criminal behavior over and over again. 249 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: I tell us where we are in that case, in 250 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: what is being done at the state, local and federal 251 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: level now. 252 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: To make sure we don't have more repeats like that. 253 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 7: Well, John, I wish I could give you a lot 254 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 7: better news. I will say in a positive vein that 255 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 7: our state legislature did pass Arena's Law, named after Arena Zarutska, 256 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 7: the young lady that you were referencing that had come 257 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 7: from Ukraine and was murdered in cold blood right there 258 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 7: on our light rail. But there's still so much work 259 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 7: to be done. Because as we came and brought the 260 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 7: House Judiciary Committee for a field hearing there in Charlotte, 261 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 7: there were not only the story of Arena that brought 262 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 7: us together, but we listened to an impassioned father that 263 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 7: shared about his daughter there in South Carolina, Logan Federica, 264 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 7: who was killed in cold blood in just a robbery 265 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 7: there in the University of South Carolina, visit friends. She 266 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 7: lived in my district right there in Union County, North Carolina. 267 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 7: So again, these were people that have been arrested in 268 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 7: our case, arrested fourteen times in Arena's case, but there 269 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 7: in Logan's case where she was murdered, the guy had 270 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 7: been arrested thirty nine times and twenty five felonies, and 271 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 7: yet was still out walking the streets. So there are 272 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 7: movements that of being made to pass laws to somehow 273 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 7: control these magistrates from being able to put people back 274 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 7: out on the streets. But this is something that needs 275 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 7: to change again at the federal, state, and local area, 276 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 7: and judges have got to be held accountable, and we've 277 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 7: got to continue to make strides in that direction. And 278 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 7: that's again one of the things that we have pushed 279 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 7: for is that we would actually pass a law that 280 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 7: would bring transparency to the situation where if you're in 281 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 7: a community that's going to have no cash bail, if 282 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 7: it's going to be a community where you're going to 283 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 7: be the funding the police, that ought to be known 284 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 7: to everybody in that city. It ought to be known 285 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 7: to people that are considering vacationing to that part of 286 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 7: the country so that they avoid going there. We need 287 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 7: to be having ways of communicating that, and we're wanting 288 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 7: to move legislation that can actually make that happen, as 289 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 7: well as again cutting out funding. We can't say to 290 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 7: these blue, soft on crime cities that the American taxpayers 291 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 7: are going to be sending grants and everything else to 292 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 7: those cities when you're continuing to do these kinds of things. 293 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 7: And we've got to be willing to step up. And then, 294 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 7: of course, look at what President Trump's been able to 295 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 7: do where he has sent in the National Guard. They're 296 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: in Memphis, right here in Washington, d C. Where I 297 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 7: am tonight, we have seen amazing strides that have been 298 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 7: made when they got the support. And in Charlotte, North Carolina, 299 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 7: the Fraternal Order of Police have asked the governor to 300 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 7: bring in the National Guard there to be able to 301 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 7: step in Charlotte and make a difference and bring support 302 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 7: where our police are understaffed by the numbers that they shared. 303 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: Remarkable stuff. 304 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: It'll be an amazing day when you can go to 305 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: any kimmity and find out what violent felons the district 306 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: attorney or judge let out without bail.

As Assistant Attorney General for 352 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice, Harmeat, Dylan Harmeat, 353 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 3: great to have you back on the show. 354 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 8: Thanks for having me. 355 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 4: Shutdown Shutdown. 356 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 3: You guys are rolling down the road a number of 357 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 3: very very consequential election integrity cases. 358 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 4: Tell us about the top ones. 359 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 8: Well, one of the things that we've been doing in 360 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 8: this DOJ is. 361 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 9: Enforcing our federal civil rights laws related to voting, and 362 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 9: they included the Help America Vote Act, the National Voter 363 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 9: Registration Act, the Voting Rights Act, and some other statutes, 364 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 9: including overseas voters and military voters. 365 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 8: And we've been asking states to produce the data. 366 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 9: To us of their voter roles and just to be 367 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 9: able to make sure that they only have citizens on 368 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 9: the roles and that they don't have duplicates and have 369 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 9: people voting in multiple jurisdictions. And so we've had to 370 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 9: file eight lawsuits throughout the United States to enforce our 371 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 9: data requests, which are something that they have to comply 372 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 9: with under the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights 373 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 9: Act in nineteen sixty Some states have actually reached settlements 374 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 9: with US and North Carolina has agreed to remove over 375 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 9: one hundred thousand voters who were improperly registered from their 376 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 9: voter roles and run negotiations with some other states as well. 377 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 9: And so this is an important task and tool that 378 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 9: has really been neglected. In fact, when we started to 379 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 9: bring these cases, some of the legacy lawyers in the 380 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 9: Civil Rights Division told us that they were unfamiliar with 381 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 9: how to do these cases. They'd never been done in 382 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 9: the Civil Rights Division before. So we're proud to bring 383 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 9: back these statutes and enforce them. That's one of the 384 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 9: things that we're doing. And then sometimes we get requests 385 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 9: as a Department of Justice in elections from candidates, from campaigns, 386 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 9: from sometimes state officials to send monitors into elections to 387 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 9: ensure integrity, particularly in areas where there may have been 388 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 9: questions about it or our history of non compliance with 389 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 9: our federal voting rights laws. And so this DOJA Civil 390 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 9: Rights Division is sending election monitors to Passaic County, New Jersey, 391 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 9: and to several counties in California where we've been requested to. 392 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 8: This has met with some resistance by some. 393 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 9: State officials that Governor Newsom has gone nutso criticizing this, 394 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 9: but I don't recall ever hearing him object or prior 395 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 9: Democrat governors objecting when the Democrat Department of Justice sent 396 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 9: election monitors to these jurisdictions, and so turn about his 397 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 9: fair play. 398 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 8: We're just responding to requests from folks. 399 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 9: I don't know why anybody should be concerned about federal 400 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 9: monitors when this is something that's been done in many 401 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 9: elections in the past. And so we'll see, We'll see 402 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 9: how this goes. 403 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing what happens when you start to enforce 404 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: the law against blue states they don't like it. It's 405 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: really interesting. Give us an update on Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin, 406 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: in that letter you sent a couple of months ago, 407 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: is one of the most important strikes and election integrity. 408 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: If you're not going to comply, you're going to lose 409 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: your federal funding. Give us an update on is Wisconsin complying? 410 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 2: Are they in danger of losing their funding? Who else 411 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: could be in danger of losing their funder with that 412 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: accountability lens that you're applying. 413 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 9: Well, I you know, since this thing is ongoing, I'm 414 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 9: not really going to comment on where. 415 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 8: It's going to go next. But we're very serious about it. 416 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 9: You've seen my boss Pam Bondi as well on the President. 417 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 9: They're very firm on these issues, and I think that's. 418 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 8: Really the way to go. 419 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 9: So what's interesting is how we do so much in 420 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 9: our country today is states think that they're entitled to. 421 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 8: A lot of federal funding, but they actually aren't. 422 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 9: You're not entitled to federal funding unless you're complying with 423 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 9: federal law and so, but they're not used to anybody 424 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 9: enforcing this mechanism. And the shutdown has slowed things down 425 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 9: a little bit in terms of you know, we've furloughed 426 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 9: most of our staff. We're dealing with some mission critical 427 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 9: issues that can't be done after the election. But you know, 428 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 9: rest assured that once everyone comes back, will be full 429 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 9: steam ahead on all of these issues and making sure 430 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 9: that as we approach those midterm elections that we're enforcing 431 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 9: these federal laws. And meanwhile, as issues arise and are 432 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 9: popping up, we are working with states and local officials, 433 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 9: and we're working with governors, and you know, we're we're 434 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 9: holding people accountable to our federal election laws. 435 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 3: Harmine, A lot of people have argued that when it 436 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 3: comes to the law, election day is election day. 437 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 4: It's not days, it's not weeks, it's not months. 438 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 3: But you still have states persisting where they mail out 439 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: ballots even without asking, even without someone you know, requesting 440 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: some type of absentee ballot. 441 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 4: Do you anticipate that that can be done away with? 442 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 3: What is the Civil Rights Division within the DOJ's responsibility 443 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 3: and making that happen. I know Congress has their role 444 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: to play, but what do you see as the future fight. 445 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 9: The primary place where the mechanics of voting are dealt 446 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 9: with under the Constitution is state legislatures. And so, you know, 447 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 9: we believe in federalism, We respect no that. The problem 448 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 9: is that in the twenty twenty and some other elections, 449 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 9: actually it wasn't the state legislatures. They kind of abdicated 450 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 9: their role, particularly during COVID, and you saw state supreme 451 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 9: courts overwriting those election laws passed. 452 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 8: By the state legislators. 453 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 9: That has happened in Pennsylvania and it's continuing to happen 454 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 9: in Pennsylvania. 455 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 8: Actually, and then. 456 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 9: You have sometimes state attorneys general or state secretaries of 457 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 9: states saying, whoop, see, you know, we have an emergency, 458 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 9: so we're just going to make up some rules so 459 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 9: you're seeing states not complied with that federalism themselves, and 460 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 9: so you know that may be something that can be 461 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 9: addressed by the courts ultimately. So right now, you see 462 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 9: different litigants, particularly political parties, litigating these issues. 463 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 8: You see sometimes the United States Department of Justice will 464 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 8: way in on it expressing our viewpoint on it. 465 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 9: You know, we expressed our viewpoint on you know, at 466 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 9: a high level in the Voting Rights Act, for example, 467 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 9: in the Supreme Court Louis Anniversus Cala. And you know, 468 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 9: that's kind of our role is really is really at 469 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 9: that level as a national policy issueing interpretation of the Constitution. 470 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 8: But most of these laws are made at the state level. 471 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 9: Now, you know, Congress could address that issue. That's a 472 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 9: policy issue. I don't deal with policy so much in 473 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 9: my job, but Congress could address these issues by saying, 474 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 9: you know, we grant federal funding, you know, for particular purposes, 475 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 9: or we could tie some of the you know, federal 476 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 9: grants or relief that comes under some of these federal 477 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 9: voting statutes to certain minimum indusa of accuracy or competency 478 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 9: or a certainty. That could be something that Congress could 479 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 9: could do and I'm sure people are looking at doing 480 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 9: that at some point. 481 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: I mean, just comes up a lot when I talk 482 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: about everyday public people saying, well, how do I be 483 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: sure that I have eco protection of the law when 484 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: I vote in a state that does get illegal aliens 485 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 2: off the ballots or non citizens off the ballots. But 486 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: then Californians don't and they don't check the list. So 487 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: we just saw the effect of the saved database and 488 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 2: how much it can do for even a good state 489 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 2: like Texas to find non eligible, non citizen voters. Is 490 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 2: there any consideration that that should become the norm and 491 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 2: that not checking that database would create an une protection 492 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: for voters in states that they don't look for illegal 493 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 2: aliens or non citizens on the roles. 494 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 8: Again, that's kind of a policy issue. 495 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 9: I'm a big supporter of checking this data and these 496 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 9: databases we know from what we've seen. I mean, that's 497 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 9: one of the reasons I'm requesting this data on behalf 498 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 9: of the Attorney General is to do the job for 499 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 9: the states. The states aren't doing it, and I mean 500 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 9: red states and blue states. They're not doing their job 501 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 9: to keep the voter rules clean. That's a fact you 502 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 9: see many anecdotes and instances. 503 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 10: I know many that I've examined. 504 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 8: Myself as a the lawyer for campaigns and for the 505 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 8: Republican Party when I was in my private role. 506 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 9: Before I joined the Department of Justice, where you see 507 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 9: wholesale really using ballots like mailers, like shoppers, like catalogs, 508 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 9: like people just get spammed with them, get they get 509 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 9: multiple ones. 510 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 8: It's difficult to people assume. 511 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 9: When they move and they register in a new state 512 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 9: or a new county that they're taking off the voter rolls. 513 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 9: Not so even if you inform the secretary of State, 514 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 9: in some states, they don't take you off. You have 515 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 9: to go to the county level. And you know, I've 516 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 9: had a couple of people in my family pass away 517 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 9: and one of the first things I did after the 518 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 9: funeral was contact my county registrar from you know, for 519 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 9: the family to make sure that they're removed. It would 520 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 9: be a disgrace to their memories to have someone else 521 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 9: vote their ballot for them. 522 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 8: And so this is something that citizens have to be 523 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 8: very proactive about. But secretaries of State, I mean one 524 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 8: of the people people don't really think about this. 525 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 9: But people rarely run for secretary of state, because that's 526 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 9: their ultimate goal in life. They're actually usually parking themselves 527 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 9: to be a center or governor, waiting to run for president. 528 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 11: Or what have you. 529 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 9: That's certainly the case in my former home state of California, 530 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 9: and so there's not a lot of accountability. We citizens 531 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 9: need to demand that accountability. We're entitled to that, and 532 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 9: so this is among the first administrations that's really focused 533 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 9: on this issue in a Republican administration. I'm proud to 534 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 9: be leading that effort and the administration is one hundred 535 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 9: percent behind us on this. 536 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 3: Harman, I'm interested to know what you think about any 537 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 3: of these cases that end up at the Supreme Court, 538 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: because with a six three breakdown on the Supreme Court, 539 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: with a lot of these cases they have ruled in 540 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: favor of the Trump administration and basically in the name 541 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: of elption integrity. Do you anticipate and do you want 542 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 3: to see these cases ultimately end up there and maybe 543 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: sooner so that that can be settled. 544 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 9: Well, we do have the one case before the court 545 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 9: right now that's very important, Louisiana versus Calai goes to 546 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 9: the important questions regarding equal protection when it comes to 547 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 9: drawing lines and states, and that's really about the Supreme 548 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 9: Court cleaning up its own owned, confusing jurisprudence in this 549 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 9: area that has dealt with, I think outdated methods of 550 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 9: analyzing the requirements under the Voting Rights Act and some 551 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 9: outdated criteria under a Jingles versus Thornburgh. That's an important 552 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 9: case that's going to be I think maybe possibly determined 553 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 9: by this one. 554 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 8: But in terms of other. 555 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 9: Cases before the Court, you know, I think that I 556 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 9: think it's important for the Court. 557 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 8: To really weigh in on. 558 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 9: Issues like election day versus election month versus letting the 559 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 9: ballots come in days and even weeks after the fact. 560 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 9: There's a lot of loosey goosey aspects of the law 561 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 9: called uokava, which has to do with overseas voters. And 562 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 9: what's interesting is Democratic Party has actually been coaching people 563 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 9: in some elections to go, if they're an overseas voter, 564 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 9: send their ballots into one of these battleground states when 565 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 9: and there's nobody on the other side at the registrar's 566 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 9: office or the Secretary of State testing whether that person 567 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 9: has ties to that state, and you know, whether they're 568 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 9: legitimately picking that state to vote and versus some other state. 569 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 9: So we really need to crack down on that kind 570 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 9: of a thing. And on the other end of that 571 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 9: same law, we need to make it very easy for 572 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 9: our military voters to be able to vote. And frankly, 573 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 9: there have been some military commanders out there in the 574 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 9: field who don't facilitate that. 575 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 8: So our young men and. 576 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 9: Women in uniform form don't give up their right to 577 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 9: vote when they go overseas, and so their commanders need 578 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 9: to be letting them print. 579 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 8: The ballots and sent them in download them. 580 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 9: I really dealt with that in the Arizona election last year. 581 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 9: It was kind of sad to see the number of 582 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 9: people who weren't able to vote for dumb reasons. 583 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 8: And so these are all things. 584 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 9: I want every single American, whatever their political affiliation, to 585 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 9: be able to vote if they're an American citizen in 586 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 9: in a federal election, and only once and only with 587 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 9: other American citizens. 588 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 8: It's pretty simple. 589 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 9: It's this way around the rest of the world, and 590 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 9: yet in America we're having our hard time complying with 591 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 9: this one person, one vote concept. One of the other 592 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 9: issues that's very interesting that is going to hopefully eventually 593 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 9: be decided by the court is this whole issue of 594 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 9: who gets counted in the census and how that gets 595 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 9: counted in terms of allocating congressional districts. Because if you have, 596 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 9: for example, of California, where there are millions of illegal aliens, 597 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 9: they're counted in the census. And then on top of that, 598 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 9: the Biden administration census counting actually used AI to smooth 599 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 9: out the way they're calling it to sort of estimate overestimate, 600 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 9: because they were saying, oh, you know, people who are here, 601 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 9: maybe they're not legal, or maybe they're not citizens. They're 602 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 9: afraid to report for the census, so we're just going 603 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 9: to like boost those numbers and smooth them out. Kind 604 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 9: of shocking. So this is something that needs to be 605 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 9: fixed by the courts, I think absolutely. 606 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 8: Like you said, it's also simple. 607 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 3: Harmie Dillon, Assistant Attorney General, Force of Rights. Thanks much 608 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 3: for being here, Thanks for your expertise, Thanks for having me. 609 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely all right. 610 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 3: Everybody, very quick break back on the upside. 611 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: In back America. 612 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: A decade ago or so, the Freedom Caucus started in Congress, 613 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 2: and boy did it disrupt Congress. It began to demand 614 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 2: accountability for spending and shrinking government and regulatory reform, and. 615 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: It paved the way for the Trump two point zero 616 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: revolution that we're now going through now. 617 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 2: Now, that spawned a whole movement in the States, and 618 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: quite frankly, the state freedom case state freedom caucuses are 619 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 2: really turning up, so a lot quicker with greater effect. 620 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: Joining us now the president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, 621 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: Andy wrought to tell us about it. 622 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: Andy, great to have you on. 623 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 10: Thanks for having me John. 624 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: All Right, I know people. 625 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: Get frustrated because change in Washington is measured in inches, 626 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 2: but in the States it's being measured in miles. Big 627 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 2: big changes from tax reform to shrinking government doges at 628 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 2: the state lefl that are probably even more effective than 629 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: the federal doge. Tell us what the freedom Caucuses have done. 630 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 10: Well, let's step back a little bit. 631 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 12: A lot of people don't know that the Freedom Caucus 632 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 12: is just it is the most powerful conservative caucus in 633 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 12: the US Congress. But like you said, it's expanding into 634 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 12: the states. And what do I mean by that. Ron DeSantis, 635 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 12: former House Freedom Caucus founder, is now arguably the most 636 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 12: conservative governor of the United States. Raoul Labrador, former member, 637 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 12: is the Attorney general in Idaho and Now this election cycle, 638 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 12: we have House Freedom Caucus members Andy Biggs and Ralph 639 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 12: Norman running for governor in Arizona and South Carolina. What's 640 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 12: amazing about that is that the group I run, the 641 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 12: State Freedom Caucus Network, we're creating state freedom Caucuses in 642 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 12: the fifty state capitals. We've got thirteen of them so far. 643 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 12: And the reason I bring up Andy Biggs and Ralph 644 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 12: Norman is that we've got an Arizona Freedom Caucus and 645 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 12: we've got a South Carolina Freedom Caucus. If those two 646 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 12: gentlemen win, and I believe that they are very heavy 647 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 12: favorites to win their party's nomination, you now have a 648 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 12: Freedom Caucus governor and a state Freedom Caucus working in 649 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 12: the legislature the state legislature, and amazing things will then happen. 650 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 12: You'll be able to doge the agencies, you'll be able 651 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 12: to cut taxes, You'll be able to shrink the size 652 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 12: and scope of government. So those two states were really 653 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 12: excited about. But like I said, we're in thirteen other 654 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 12: states like Wyoming, Illinois, of all places, Maryland another blue state, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Montana, Louisiana, 655 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 12: on and on, and our goal is to eventually get 656 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 12: into all fifty states. Places like New Jersey and California 657 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 12: are going to take some time, but they do have 658 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 12: conservatives in those states and they need representation, so we'll 659 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 12: get there. 660 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 10: Eventually, we do. 661 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 6: Andy. 662 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 3: I talked about this at the top of the show, 663 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: this dynamic that we are seeing with the Democrat Party 664 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 3: where especially with candidates like Zorn Mamdani, it looks like 665 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 3: they are running far, far far to the left. On 666 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 3: the other hand, you have Republicans who it seems like, 667 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 3: especially with issues like taxation, particularly property theft, whoops, a 668 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 3: little bit of faux father property taxes, that conservatives are 669 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 3: returning to the Constitution when it comes to these types 670 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 3: of ideas spreading even in states like you mentioned, like California, 671 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 3: do you think that those states look at red states 672 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 3: like Florida, where conditions are improving, let's say, and they 673 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 3: maybe would be a little bit more open minded to 674 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 3: those policies in their own Well, that may be a 675 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 3: step too far, because I think the blue states really 676 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: do want to bleed their taxpayers dry. 677 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 12: California is trying to put a wealth tax on their 678 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 12: ballot for next year, and that's going to just drive 679 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 12: migration out of there, Californians are going to go to 680 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 12: Texas and Florida. So to think that California is going 681 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 12: to change their stripes is I think a little far fetched, 682 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 12: at least in the short term. But once all of 683 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 12: those wealthy people leave those blue states and come to 684 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 12: the Red States, I think it's a signal obviously that 685 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 12: the Red States are better. That being said, I do 686 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 12: want to make a point, and this is the most 687 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 12: profound point I can possibly make. No matter how corrupt 688 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 12: you think DC is, the fifty state capitals are even worse. 689 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 10: And people don't believe me when I say that. 690 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 12: But the reason why is because when you turn on 691 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 12: your TV or when you turn on your phone, most 692 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 12: of the things that you see are President Trump, Kamala Harris, 693 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 12: the Democrats in Congress, the war in Ukraine, what's happening 694 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 12: in the Middle East, the Federal Reserve, and inflation. Most 695 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 12: people don't know what's going on in their state capital 696 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 12: and the fifty swamps in those fifty state capitals. They 697 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 12: like it that way. They like operating in the dark. 698 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 12: And what happens is you have Democrats and liberal Republicans 699 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 12: conspiring together. Even in the red state to grow government, 700 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 12: and so what our state Freedom Caucuses are doing is 701 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 12: exposing all of that. And one of the places that 702 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 12: we've been most successful is in Wyoming. We only had 703 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 12: eight members of the Wyoming Freedom Caucus when they launched 704 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 12: just two years ago, but because they sounded the alarm, 705 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 12: they became a household name to all voters in Wyoming. 706 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 12: They are now in charge of the Wyoming State House. 707 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 12: The speaker is a Wyoming Freedom Caucus member, the pro 708 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 12: temp is a Freedom Caucus member. All of the chairs 709 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 12: of the powerful committees are Freedom Caucus members. So we 710 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 12: have the blueprint. We know, we've cracked the code. We 711 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 12: know how to do this, We know how to save 712 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 12: our states. We just have to replicate it in all 713 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 12: the other ones. 714 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 2: Freedom is contagious real quickly, and we only got about 715 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 2: thirty seconds. What's the big idea floating around the states. 716 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 2: It hasn't come to Washington, but one day. 717 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 12: Well, well, I think we've got to solve the redistricting problem. 718 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 12: Our Missouri Freedom Caucus was they were the only Republicans 719 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 12: in the state legislature that wanted to do redistricting. 720 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 10: The legend the swamp there didn't want. 721 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: To do it. 722 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 12: But because the Missouri Freedom Caucus and President Trump worked together, 723 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 12: they were able to deliver that, and now we just 724 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 12: got to do it in the other states. 725 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you're right. That's going to be a 726 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: big move. 727 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 2: We're seeing it more and more in every state around 728 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 2: the country. Eddie Roh, President of the State Freedom Caucus. 729 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: Thatwork. 730 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 2: Great to have you on. We'll be sure to get 731 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 2: you back on real soon again. Thanks for joining us. 732 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 10: Thanks for having me John, Yeah, great conversation. 733 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 2: All right, folks, after the break A law professor William 734 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: Jacobson always brings some big ideas with law fair. We're 735 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 2: learning so much about it. We're going to get tackle 736 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 2: that next with right at the. 737 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 6: Commercial Welcome back everybody. 738 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 3: President Trump is taking on the woke takeover of America's universities. 739 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 3: His new higher education reform plan draws a line in 740 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 3: the sand. No more taxpayer dollars for indoctrination, censorship, and 741 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 3: anti American propaganda. 742 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 4: So joining us now to talk about that and much more. 743 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 3: Cornell University law professor and founder of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, 744 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 3: William Jacobson, Sarah, thanks so much for being with us. 745 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 7: Great to be here, sir. 746 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 3: Seven years ago we heard the horror story of what 747 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 3: happened at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I 748 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 3: talked to a lot of folks who say that anti 749 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 3: Semitism just lurks beneath the surface, no matter what time, 750 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,760 Speaker 3: no matter what time it is, no matter what's happening, 751 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 3: anti Semitism is right there beneath the surface. Should we 752 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 3: have paid more attention than because now we have seen 753 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 3: an absolute snowball effect of this ramping up in the 754 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 3: last few years. 755 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 11: I think we should have. I mean that shooting obviously 756 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 11: is in a sense an outlier. I mean, there are 757 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 11: not that many violent outbursts like that, but the sentiments 758 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 11: behind it have spread like wildfire after October seventh, and 759 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 11: a lot of it's spread through social media, particular arly Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. 760 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 11: There really is a war against the Jews online, and 761 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 11: that's really the only way to describe it. The most 762 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 11: every ill on the earth is ascribed to Jewish control 763 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 11: things like that, and it's that sort of rhetoric that 764 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 11: causes a small number of people to snap and to 765 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 11: shoot up a synagogue or do other acts of violence. 766 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is amazing how a pandemic like it has 767 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 2: become a pandemic of anti semitism. 768 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about some of 769 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: the successes. Over the weekend, a big deal was announced 770 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: with the UVA. 771 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 2: We're starting to see universities realizing that it's in their 772 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 2: interest to create a new education culture, not the one 773 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 2: we've had to endure. 774 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: Where do you think this leads? 775 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 2: And is UVa's deal a sort of model that we 776 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 2: could see other universities engage on. 777 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, what UVA essentially did is agree to actually 778 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 11: follow the law. Okay, the law says you can't discriminate 779 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 11: in hiring, you can't discriminate in terms of educational opportunities, 780 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 11: you can't discriminate based on race in admissions to the school. 781 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 11: And they've agreed to do that, and they've agreed to 782 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 11: introduce concepts that you would have thought would have been 783 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 11: there all along, like diversity of viewpoint things like that. 784 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 11: So the fact that UVA has taken those steps is 785 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 11: very significant because most of the schools reacting to Trump's 786 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 11: proposals are rejecting them out of hand. And the schools 787 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 11: are foolish because higher education is in a downward spiral 788 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 11: Gallup came out with polling just in September. This is 789 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 11: an old polling and it's by Gallup, which showed that 790 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 11: the lowest percentage ever of people thought that college degrees 791 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 11: are either important or very important. That's astounding. Pew just 792 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 11: came out with findings that a super majority of people 793 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 11: across political parties, across ethnic groups, across racial groups, believe 794 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 11: that higher education is heading in the wrong direction. So 795 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 11: higher education is losing the population, but it insists on 796 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 11: biting the hand that feeds it, and that's really a problem. 797 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 11: And Trump is offering them an off ramp, which is 798 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 11: just stop being so crazy leftists. You don't have to 799 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 11: be conservative, you don't have to be maga, But how 800 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 11: about moving a little bit towards the center, allowed diverse viewpoints, 801 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 11: et cetera. And I don't know if higher right is 802 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 11: prepared to do that. University of Virginia was and kudos 803 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 11: to them. 804 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they will likely be thriving because of it. 805 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the other side of 806 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 3: that situation, because. 807 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 4: You have a lot of Ivy League schools. 808 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 3: What other universities in trench liberal institutions like UC Berkeley, 809 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 3: UCLA that I think are still going to be resistant 810 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 3: to this, even if it hurts their federal funding, even 811 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 3: if it hurts their enrollment, even if it hurts their stature. 812 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 3: Are you concerned that there are institutions like that that 813 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 3: are just going to dig in, Well. 814 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 11: It's not so much a concern, it's a reality. I 815 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 11: think they will. And the universities in Calnia, the public 816 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 11: universities are in a really tough spot because Gavin Newsom 817 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 11: has said that if anybody takes a deal with Trump 818 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 11: public university, we're cutting you off at the state level. 819 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 11: So they've been put in a really impossible position. But 820 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 11: put California aside. These other universities, and they include Cornell 821 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 11: in them, I include other Ivy League schools. They're so 822 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 11: called top tier schools. They really need to reconsider whether 823 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 11: the model they have is sustainable. Whether a model where 824 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 11: the universities not only do not reflect society, but are 825 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 11: hostile to society, yet rely on society in the form 826 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 11: of the federal government to fund them, is that really 827 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 11: a sustainable model? And I don't think it's sustainable, And 828 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 11: I hope more of these schools would be reasonable. Trump 829 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 11: came out with this compact for Higher Education. But he's 830 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 11: open to negotiate on it. But I think it's seven 831 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 11: out of the nine schools he offered it to, including 832 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 11: MIT and Brown and a few others have already rejected it. 833 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 11: They said, we're not even going to talk about it. 834 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 11: You're impinging upon our independence. Well, I say, as somebody 835 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 11: who's in academia, who's at an Ivy League school, I say, 836 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 11: where has your independence gotten you? It's gotten you into 837 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 11: a really bad place where you have an unsustainable model 838 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 11: where you have purged conservatives from the faculty. You haven't 839 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 11: hired conservatives in twenty years, and this is not sustainable. 840 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 11: You just can't keep going this way. But they don't 841 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 11: seem to see it that way. 842 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: You're working on some of eos. 843 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 2: When we got about a minute left, I want to 844 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 2: ask about this combating anti Zionism, which is I think 845 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 2: a code word a lot of times for anti Semitism. 846 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 2: Tell us why you took this on and what it 847 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 2: will likely result in. 848 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I mean, it wasn't something started by me, 849 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 11: but it's something that I certainly support, which is to 850 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 11: identify the anti Zionist elements who are trying to create 851 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 11: Zionist free zones on campuses. We saw that in UCLA 852 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 11: they actually set up checkpoints, and that's part of Trump's 853 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 11: push for diversity of ideologies. You cannot have Zionist free campuses. 854 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 11: That's not permitted, and so I think that's an important 855 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 11: initiative that has been started. 856 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 4: Professor William Jacobson, we love having you on.

Everybody knows when you're standing at 886 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 3: line at TSA, you see the secretary up there talking 887 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 3: and it's just a rolling video. 888 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 4: They play the same thing over and over again. 889 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 3: And I thought when I saw that, I was like, 890 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,879 Speaker 3: oh boy, California airports for sure are going to jump 891 00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 3: on that bandwagon. 892 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 4: To my surprise, last night when I went to Burbank. 893 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 3: Airport, good old little it's not a municipal airport, it 894 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 3: is bigger than a municipal airport. But they were playing 895 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 3: the video and I was quite impressed. They had it 896 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 3: on mute, but you know, it was there about that, 897 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 3: and I was worried I was going to have issues 898 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 3: coming into Reagan because of the lowered workforce. 899 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 4: But again no issue. 900 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 3: So you know, I know a lot of folks say 901 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 3: that the shutdown is hurting a lot of people, but 902 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 3: there are a lot of people in this country other 903 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 3: than it's not benefits people on Saturday who aren't feeling 904 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 3: it at all. 905 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a big thing. It's not benefit. 906 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 2: It's going to become the first tangible kitchen table dinner 907 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 2: issue to be out there. And will Republicans make Democrats 908 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 2: pay for it? Or will they let the message be 909 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 2: muddled by the Democrats. Today a prominent Democrat, Congressman Golden 910 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 2: from Maine came in and said, my party is lying 911 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 2: to the American people. This is not about health subsidies. 912 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 2: This is about creating a shutdown to try to turn 913 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 2: the tables for twenty twenty six. First, kudos to the 914 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 2: congressman for speaking the truth. Secondly, will Republicans pick up 915 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,319 Speaker 2: on that? And how will they make sure that when 916 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 2: these checks don't arrive, they make the Democrats pay for 917 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 2: the way Republicans used to pay for shutdowns. That's going 918 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 2: to be the big question. 919 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,399 Speaker 3: And I think there's another line of messaging that Republicans 920 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 3: can seize. 921 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 4: And you and I talked about. 922 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 3: This earlier, and maybe it'll make its way into a 923 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: story that I write later in the week. But if 924 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 3: you take SNAP benefits away from illegal immigrants in this country, 925 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 3: how much longer could that program have subsisted for just Americans, 926 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 3: for natural worn Americans or naturalized Americans. 927 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 2: That is such a valuable statistic to have to be 928 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,399 Speaker 2: able to show people because a lot of the debt 929 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,280 Speaker 2: we're in, a lot of the excessive spending we suffer from, 930 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 2: a lot of these shutdowns are over things that actually 931 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 2: provide no benefit with the American publicans, So being able 932 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 2: to show how much longer SNAP could have existed if 933 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 2: we didn't have legal aliens, that's that's a good one. 934 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: I can't wait to read that one. 935 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 4: Someone should write that. Let's see. 936 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea. 937 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 3: All right, John, We'll finish up with a few somewhat 938 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 3: fun topics, although it wasn't fun for me a few 939 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,760 Speaker 3: nights ago.
