WEBVTT - Democrats Refuse to Attend Muslim Brotherhood Hearing 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:05.240 There was an extremely important meeting in Washington, d C. 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.960 It was about the terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood and 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.640 the Muslim Brotherhood. It was about how and why they're 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:17.200 a threat in this country, how they're growing in this country, 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.439 and what the American people needed to understand about the 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.680 Muslim Brotherhood. Well, what was even more shocking than the 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.480 hearing itself is the fact that this hearing not a 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.560 single Democrat. 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.080 Elected official attended it. That's right. 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:39.120 This was a simple national security hearing exposing the Muslim 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.840 Brotherhood's efforts, in their words, to undermine the United States 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.280 of America, and the stunning testimony that came from the 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:52.760 witnesses was not political either. So why did Democrats decide 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.000 to just refuse to show up? Why did they literally 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:02.560 run away from a now 'ational security hearing about terrorists 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:07.720 undermining America? Why would you miss a hearing that deals 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.560 with ISIS and al Qaeda and their connections to the 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:16.160 Muslim Brotherhood. Now, these are all questions that should be asked. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.640 Fox News Channel put it this way when they were 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.440 reporting on the well Democrats boycotting the meeting. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.600 It was Republican Senator Ted Cruz who decided to call 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.640 this hearing today to take a look at the impacts 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.959 of Muslim brotherhood networks here in the US. But as 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.640 you mentioned, we are expecting all five Democrats on the 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.800 Senate committee to boycott this hearing today because they say 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.800 it's just going to be used to scapegoat all Muslims. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.120 These are the five Democrats we're talking about here on 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.800 the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.280 Senator Richard Blumenthal, Senator Mea Herono, Senator Alex Badia, and 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.919 Senator Peter Welch. None of them are expected to participate today. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.280 None of them did participate. They we all refused to 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.560 show up. Now, there were counter terrorism experts that testified, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.720 and I'm going to play some of that for you 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.040 coming up in a moment. But the question you're probably 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.680 asking yourself right now is what was the reason for 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.240 them not showing up? What could the fallout have been 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.120 if they did hear the testimony. Well, let's take a 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.200 look at one of the biggest elections that just took place. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.560 We now know that more than one hundred and fifteen 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:34.040 thousand dollars that was given to Abdul l said, Yeah, 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.200 the guy running for the Democratic nomination in Michigan came 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:44.399 from individuals who have direct ties to terrorist organizations. According 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.799 to a Fox News review of campaign finance records, al 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.600 Said's campaign received more than one hundred and fifteen thousand 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:58.720 from at least forty one individuals who worked for, previously 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.760 worked for, or we've held leadership positions with the Council 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.519 on American Islamic Relations known as CARE, that, by the way, 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.880 is a terrorist organization, and that immediately raises some very 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.359 serious questions because we're not talking about one random donor 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.080 who happened to write a one hundred dollars check. We're 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:23.840 talking about more than forty people connected professionally or through 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:29.480 leadership positions to the same organization, contributing collectively more. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.399 Than one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.440 Now, before I give you even more of this shocking news, 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.320 I want to take a moment. I want to ask 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.280 you to join me in prayer for the people they're 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.360 suffering right now in Israel. The headlines they move on, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.160 but the heartache and terror do not. Iran and its 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:52.320 terrorist proxies they're continuing to target Israel Hezbelah continues to 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.120 attack it in the north, forcing families to live on 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.960 her constant threat. Israel is not only defending her people, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.960 she has standing on the front lines against terror that 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.240 threatens us all. And even when the news crews leave 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.880 the International Fellowship of Christians. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.680 And Jews, they remain. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.680 Every day they are on the ground providing life saving 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:17.880 aid near Israel's border with Lebanon. Hesblod drones recently struck 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.159 the home of Yolina. She was unfortunately widowed earlier this year. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.200 She's now living alone and she was trapped inside by 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.800 the blasts. Now, thankfully she was not injured, but she 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.120 remains displaced. As she described it, it's hard these days, 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.440 but I don't want to leave, and why should she 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.680 have to? As Christians were called to stand with God's 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.400 people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:44.360 freedoms that. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:45.159 We all hold. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.359 So dear so I want you to join me and 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.479 the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and praying for 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:56.200 peace of Jerusalem and for the soldiers, their families and 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.400 the civilians carrying the burden of this fight. Right now, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.240 if you want to know who to pray for, and 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.680 what is needed right now in prayer. Go to pray 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:13.040 IFCJ dot org. That's prey, pr ay IFCJ dot org 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.960 and join me in praying for the people of Israel. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.520 All right, I want to get back to this report again. 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.600 Massive amounts of money coming in to the Democrat campaign 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.920 of a man who says, again, this is a man 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.359 you're gonna hear his name for a while, Al Sayid. Okay, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.600 he is the Democratic nominee now now. According to the report, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.320 donors included people who have served as CARES National Board Chair, 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.360 National Board treasure and national vice chair, as well as 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.720 officials associated with CARE chapters across the country. Now, one 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.200 CARE Michigan board member, identifying the report, contributed eleven thousand, 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.719 six hundred dollars. And here's another extraordinary connection. One of 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.719 the care link donors is Al Said's five in law. 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.040 He has also been a major financial supporter of a 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:09.120 super pack backing Alsaeid. So the question is actually not 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:14.080 just who donated. The bigger question is what political network 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.360 is linking up behind the Democratic nominee for Senate Michigan 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:23.039 and why and why are they directly connected to terrorists? Well, Care, 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.479 They've got a massive, controversial history, and you deserve to 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.279 understand it, by the way, because the media refuses to 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:31.080 tell you the story. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.640 So I'm going to do this, all right. 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:38.200 Care has been designated in several different states as a 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.920 terrorist organization, and in other parts of the world they 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.000 have declared them terrorists as well. Now, right now, the 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.680 Trump administration is actually looking at designating CARE as a 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.719 terrorist organization from the United States federal government. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.680 All right. That's something you need to understand. Now. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:58.040 CARE is repeatedly and emphatically denied allegations that it quote 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:03.880 supports terrorism. Carer's history includes a significant episode involving one 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:10.160 of the most important terrorist financing prosecutions in American history. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.160 The fact is this, in two thousand and seven, federal 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:19.200 prosecutors named CARE as an unindicted co conspirator in the 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:24.680 Holyland Foundation terrorism financing case. Again, what they were saying 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.680 is they were laundering money to the terrorists. The Holy 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.160 Land Foundation case itself, by the way, was enormously consequential. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.800 The Justice Department prosecuted. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.960 The Holyland Foundation and its leaders for providing financial support 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.800 to Hamas, which the United States had designated a terrorist 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.480 organization as well, and in two thousand and eight, a 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.280 federal grand jury convicted the Holyland Foundation and five of 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:55.040 its leaders on charges involving material support to Hamas and 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.600 they went to jail for a very long time. 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:58.320 Now. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:03.200 The Justice Department's words after the verdict were unforgettable, saying, quote, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.360 money is the lifeblood of terrorism. Well, welcome to Care 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.360 and the organization they understand that as well. Now, to 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.560 be clear, this was a federal terrorism financing prosecution and 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:22.280 it actually ended with real convictions. Now the testimony is real, 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.720 and it's shocking, and I want you to hear what 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.160 was said as Senator Ted Cruz chaired the hearing. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.240 Does Abdul l Sayed's candidacy for Senator and Michigan concern? 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.360 Yes, sir, it does. Why is that will? 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.080 To begin with? I look at the connections that his 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:43.319 father in law, Chaikaku Taib has the two Brotherhood linked groups. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.800 This includes being the president at one time of Care Michigan. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.360 Also his presence on the Islamic Society of North America 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:55.280 Founders Committee, which is only for those most exclusively devoted 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.400 to ISNA and provide significant amounts of funding. There are 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.319 other known Brotherhood members on that committee. I would also 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.760 look at Else'eed's ties to a group called m Gage, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.640 which purports to be a Muslim sort of get out 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.840 the vote or candidate recruitment organization, but it has close 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.520 ties to CARE. It was created by a former CARE 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.160 member who at one time was on a terror watch 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.200 list and was also a consultant to convicted terrorists. Samuel Arrian, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:24.839 do you. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.920 Believe the Islamic Society of North America or ISNA is 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.120 an ongoing part of the Muslim Brotherhood network in the 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:32.880 United States? 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:34.280 Yes, Sir, I do. 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.199 There were some HLF documents that reflected hesitation by the 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.160 Brotherhood that they thought perhaps they were losing control of 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.640 isn't one point that they appear to have rectified that? 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.840 As far as I can tell, there are still individuals 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.680 associated with the Muslim Brotherhood who are in high leadership 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.120 positions with that organization, and they have never repudiated their 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.200 ties to the organization. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:01.480 Trial Hadawad is still the executive director of CARE today. 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:02.160 Is that right? 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:02.880 He is? 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.960 So when CARE tells this Congress it has no ties 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:13.319 to hamas the documented record says otherwise, is that correct? 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:14.719 That is correct? 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.680 Agent Burns, if you were still an active FBI agent today, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.120 with the evidence you developed in the Holy Land Foundation prosecution, 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:29.359 would Care be on your list of organizations warranting further investigation? 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:30.120 It would. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.119 This is a letter that I sent. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:39.640 To the FBI requesting the release of non classified materials 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:44.040 seized during the two thousand and four search of Ismaeul 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.120 el Barassi's home in Annandale, Virginia. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.319 To date, I have not received those documents. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.559 This letter was sent on April sixteenth, twenty twenty six. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.640 Ms Burns, are you aware of anything. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.400 Unusual with the search of elber Rossi's home that you 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.640 would like to share with this committee? 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.680 The search of Elberosse's home revealed a massive amount of 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.760 documentation what we call the archives of Hamas and the 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.600 Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. It was the documents 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:23.200 and video and audio tapes were, as seen in exhibits 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.400 that were put forth in the Holyland Foundation trial, groundbreaking 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.200 in the understanding of this Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas network 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.800 here and they are key to understanding the extent and 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.120 scope with this network. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.679 And am I correct that Care showed up during the 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.840 search of Alberosse's home and attempted to obstruct the seizure 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.719 of the documents. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.880 Yes, sir, they did. If the FBI. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:54.160 Released the non classified documents tomorrow from the search, would 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.120 the public understand this network better than it does today. 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.440 I believe that the release of those documents, which would 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.800 provide the ability for those of us who understand this 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:09.040 network to conduct a full analysis, that we could use 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.240 that to provide education to the general public about what 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:14.320 this network really is. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.320 All right, mister Shidler, let's turn to you. How long 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.560 have you studied the history and activities of the Muslim 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.480 Brotherhood since about. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.319 Two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, actually, with 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.480 the rise of the Hollywand Foundation trial, it really piqued 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.400 my interest, and it's fair to say it changed my 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:32.920 entire career trajectory. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.319 Do you believe that there is a Muslim Brotherhood branch 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.920 operating in the United States? 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:38.240 Yes? 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.280 Are there ever instances where the Brotherhood groups engage in 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.280 America in acts of violence? 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:46.360 Yes? 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:51.680 There are. I would include individuals associated with Brotherhood linked 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.440 mosques who have engaged in acts of terrorism. I would 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.800 include individuals associated with Muslim students associations, dozens of which 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.880 have committed acts of terrorism. I would also include the 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.800 role in the promotion of rioting and civil disorder conducted 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.000 by groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and the 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.400 Palestinian Youth Movement. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:17.080 What you've described is exactly why I introduced the Stop 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:22.360 Funders Act, which would add rioting to the RICO predicate 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.280 offenses so that the Justice Department can reach the entities 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:31.240 that fund and coordinate these riots. Do Brotherhood groups in 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.440 America also participate in electoral and coalition politics? 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:36.400 Yes, certainly do. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:42.200 Is that consistent with the Tom Keen framework described in 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:48.000 the explanatory memorandum, working through existing institutions rather than displacing them. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.040 Yes, sir as, you described it as a process of 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.720 settlement by which they are creating and seizing control of institutions, 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.559 which they can then use to continue to build their efforts. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.199 Being with us today. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.480 And thank you for your work confronting the contemporary Muslim 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:09.840 Brotherhood network in court. The historical record is damning, but 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.400 I'd like to turn to what's being done about it today. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.680 The Muslim Brotherhood's ties to terrorism are ongoing today, not 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:17.440 just historical. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:22.920 Is that right? Yes, that's right. And yet Brotherhood. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.440 Groups still meet with members of Congress and are treated 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.840 as a civil rights organization. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:29.400 Is that right? 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:30.080 Yes? 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.400 In your litigation work, have you found that Brotherhood affiliated 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:40.240 entities share leadership, funding, or infrastructure cross organizations that hold 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.720 themselves out to the public as separate and unrelated. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:43.360 That's correct. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.280 For example, the Islamic Association for Palestine after it was 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:52.000 shut down after being sued and a judgment of one 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.760 hundred and fifty six million dollars entered against it, shut 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.240 down with the same leaders and created a new organization 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.080 called American Muslims for Palestine. And another example is CARE 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.840 and its relationship with the Washington Trust Foundation. The Washington 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.600 Trust Foundation is actually it was back in nineteen ninety four. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.800 It was originally incorporated as CARE and now the Washington 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.960 Trust Foundation serves essentially as a real estate holding entity that, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.640 per its own nine nineties exists for the purpose of 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.400 supporting the Care Foundation today. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.040 Well, and that's why I introduced the Sponsor Act, which 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:31.160 would hold tax exempt fiscal sponsors liable for what their 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:35.600 sponsored entities do. The loopholes and the manipulation of our 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.160 tax code needs to end. MS Claypok Since approximately twenty 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:45.400 twenty two, have state and federal grant programs become a 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.960 primary source of financial support for significant portions of the 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.040 CARE ecosystem. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:52.520 That's correct. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.760 I believe it was about fifty. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.400 Four million dollars in federal grant money was received by 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:05.160 Care California. Has been testimony in other Senate Judiciary subcommittees 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.400 relating to that funding and the and Care's misuse of 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:10.000 that funding. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.560 You mentioned Care California. In twenty twenty four IRS findings filings, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:20.000 Care California reported distributing more than four million dollars in 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.160 subgrants to thirty nine other organizations. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:23.640 Is that right. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.680 Yes, roughly one hundred and eighty five thousand of that 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.680 went to California chapters of the Muslim American Society, an 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:35.800 organization that George Washington University's Program on Extremism identifies as 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.360 a Brotherhood legacy group. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:37.880 Is that right? 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:38.920 That's right? 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.600 And federal prosecutors also called the Muslim American Society the 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.440 overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.480 Now again, you ask yourself the simple question, how is 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.680 it possible that Democrats would not show up for this 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:58.320 type of national security event. The answer, unfortunately, is pretty clear. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.480 The reason why they didn't show up is because they 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.600 know the same people that were being named at this 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.200 hearing are the donors that are giving money to their 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:12.600 candidates that are winning elections and reelections. That is why 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.040 everybody should be concerned. And the Democrats are more than 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.320 willing to put your national security at risk stand with 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.280 terrorists and terris funders instead of telling the truth, which 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.480 is they have no place in their party. 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:29.679 I want you to. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.480 Understand the magnitude of what we're learning about the organized 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.200 legal resistance to President Donald Trump. I'm talking about liberal 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.600 ages conspiring to go after Donald Trump with law fair 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:47.280 months before he became president. Yet again, now, Democrats not 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.240 only they spend years telling Americans that Donald Trump was 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:55.560 a threat to democracy, they also told you elections were sacred. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.680 They told you voters must be respected, and they told 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.520 you that when the American people speak of the ballot box, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.240 especially if it's for a Democrat, then you must accept 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:12.200 the results. But apparently Democrat attorney generals around the country 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.719 they didn't see any of it that way. In fact, 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:20.040 they were preparing for something very different in the new 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:25.119 shocking allegations months before Americans voted in the twenty twenty 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:31.720 four presidential election, Democrat attorney generals conspired together on how 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:36.120 they would fight a second Trump administration in court if 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.359 he won. Now, I want you to think about the 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.520 significance of that. Donald Trump hadn't won yet, Kamala Harris 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.280 hadn't lost yet. In fact, Joe Biden was still the nominee. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:51.520 The American people hadn't cast their ballots even early voting yet, 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.360 and Trump hadn't even taken the oath of office. Now 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.159 not only that, but Donald Trump hadn't signed a single 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.639 executive order because Joe Biden was so the president and 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.840 Democrat Attorney general said, hold on a second, we got 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.439 to get ready to tie up Trump if he wins 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:08.360 with a. 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.359 Full out legal war. 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.280 Now this isn't speculation after the fact, we now know 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.320 this is what was really going on. The Democrat Attorney 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:25.560 General's Association itself later highlighted reporting the Democratic governors and 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:30.359 attorney generals had spent months strategizing about how to respond 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.679 to a potential second Trump administration. For example, the New 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:40.360 York Attorney General Letitia James has said that attorney generals 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.919 began meeting before the election to discuss fighting Donald Trump 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.520 in his second term, and after Trump won. According to 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:55.360 subsequent reporting, now Democrat ages dramatically intensified their coordination. In 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.040 other words, they were ready, and boy did they use it. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:00.359 Trump. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.680 They said, you know what, he takes office January twentieth, 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.679 and the lawsuits, well, they started flying one after another, 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:18.640 executive orders, federal funding, immigration, environmental regulations, government restructuring, federal employees, education, 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:25.560 health policy, even elections and tariffs. Whatever the policy fight was, 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.400 the Democrat attorney generals turned to the courtroom and they 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.320 made that into their battlefield. And by April the first 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:39.800 of twenty twenty six, the Democrat Attorney General's Association proudly 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:46.440 announced something extraordinary. Democrat Attorney Generals had collectively filed their 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:51.040 one hundredth lawsuit against the Trump administration. This is lawfair, 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.639 and they were celebrating it. One under lawsuits, not in 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.720 four years, just over a year into Trump's second term, 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.880 and their own organization celebrated it. And by the way, 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.600 they were wasting your tax dollars because you're the one 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.200 paying the legal fees. So I think Americans are entitled 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:13.200 to ask this question, at what point does a legitimate 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:18.720 constitutional oversight become organized political law fair? Because the attorney 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:23.480 generals absolutely have a constitutional role. If a president exceeds 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.200 his authority, states had the right to challenge the federal government. Now, 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.399 Republican attorney generals did that with Barack Obama, and they 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.159 did it with Joe Biden. But the difference here is 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.640 this Democrat attorney generals did it during Trump's first administration. 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:41.600 That is the part of the American system. But this 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.920 is where it becomes so much different. The second time, 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:51.680 they were already conspiring. They were already preparing the legal 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:55.760 machinery before Trump had even been elected, before you had 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.280 even been able to cast your vote. They didn't know 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.320 what acts President Trump would ultimately take. It didn't matter. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.240 They didn't know precisely what regulations would be issued. 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:08.720 Again, it didn't matter. 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.880 They didn't know which executive orders would survive the internal 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:14.040 policy process. 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.359 And yet again it didn't matter. They knew one thing. 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.479 If Trump won, they were going to be ready to 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.800 sue him, to stop him in court on anything he did. 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.919 In other words, they said, if the American people choose Trump, 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.800 we're going to undermine the will of the people. We're 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:37.159 going to undermine their vote, We're going to undermine the country. 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:41.320 We're going to undermine free and fair elections. We're going 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.879 to undermine at all to stop the agenda that the 0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:50.760 American people actually voted for. That is what all of 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:55.960 this coordination was really all about, which brings me to 0:22:56.040 --> 0:23:00.280 the big point here. This wasn't merely a reaction into 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:04.879 something Trump did. This was a setup of a resistance 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:10.840 infrastructure weaponizing our government through the Democratic Party and the 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:15.000 Attorney generals to stop the will of the people. Democrats 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:19.720 spent four years saying Republicans need to respect election results. Okay, well, 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.720 Donald Trump won the election in twenty twenty four. He 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.200 wins the electoral College, he wins the popular vote, Republicans 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:30.000 win control of Congress. The voters gave Trump another term, 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:31.480 they gave him a mandate. 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:33.080 And what do they do. 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.320 The Democratic Attorney General said, we're waiting at the courthouse door, 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.439 and we're going to stop everything you want to do 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:45.439 that the American people voted for. Now, Democrat ags have 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.560 won injunctions and other favoral rulings in many of these 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.560 cases early on. Much of it, by the way, is 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:54.479 then overturned by the other courts after they get out 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:58.720 of the activist judge's way, and then Democrats are now 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:00.720 saying they're never going to stop. 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.040 This is their new policy. 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:07.080 They want to freeze anybody out who is elected by 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:10.600 the American people they don't agree with. I want you 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.119 to hear what Senator Ted Cruz had to say about 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.919 all of this, and what a threat this is truly 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.760 to this country and our democracy in general. 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:19.840 That's who he is. 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:21.680 Finally, I want to get to this other story, and 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:25.480 it deals with ags conspiring to go after Donald Trump's 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:30.040 months ahead of his reelect. Let's tell people what we 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:30.720 found out. 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:35.639 Well, another story that broke its headlined Democrat ags plan 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:40.320
