1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: We have new breaking news and it deals with former 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden. He ignored. We're now being told the 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Department of Justice's warnings over legally flawed auto pen pardons. 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Senior Justice Department officials were left scrambling to quote interpret 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: the sweeping clemency orders former President Joe Biden approved for 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: thousands of federal convicts in his final days and final 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: hours in office, and they chastised the White House for 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: falsely portraying the releases as limited to quote nonviolent offenders. This, 9 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: according to internal emails, have now been revealed. The records 10 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: obtained by the Oversight Project and reviewed by The Washington 11 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Examiner now reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General, the 12 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Department's top career official the time, Bradley Weinsheimer, raised alarms 13 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: immediately after Biden issued three auto pen sign warrants on 14 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: January seventeenth, covering nearly two thousand, five hundred inmates were 15 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: now learning. In a January eighteenth message to the White 16 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: House Council and the Department of Justice Office of the 17 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: Partner Attorney, Weinsheimer wrote that one warrant granted clemency for 18 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: offenses described to the Department of justice was so vague 19 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: it could not be lawfully even carried out quote unquote. 20 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: He went on to say, at the time, I think 21 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: the language is highly problematic, adding that to interpret the 22 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: document properly, we will need a statement or direction from 23 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: President Biden. He also suggested that Biden provide quote a 24 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: list as to each inmate listing the offenses that are 25 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: covered by the commutation, which he described as the clearest 26 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: and least problematic alternative. Moving forward, Weinsheimer and Biden needed 27 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: to clarify the meaning of the warrant language quote unquote, 28 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: so the DOJ could implement it in the manner intended 29 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: they claim by President Joe Biden. Here is an exact 30 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: quote from the email. It said this, Given the above, 31 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: I think it is best that we receive a direct 32 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: statement on direction from President Biden as to the meaning 33 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: of the warrant language. This will then allow us to 34 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: give full effect to the commutation, warrant, and the manner 35 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: intended by the President. In the absence of such a 36 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: statement or direction, I am concerned option three above will 37 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: be the interpretation that is given to the warrant. While 38 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: that is a logical construction, legally it can't possibly be 39 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: what the President intended, so I would like to avoid 40 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: that outcome. One other important note the email says, in 41 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: communication about the commutations, the White House has described those 42 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: who receive commutations as people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. 43 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: I think you should stop saying that because it is 44 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: untrue or at least misleading. As you know, even with 45 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: the exceedingly limited review we were permitted to do of 46 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: the individuals we believe you might be considering for commutation action, 47 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: we initially identified nineteen that were quote highly problematic. That 48 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: was based only upon running our initial priority list against 49 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: the list of those who had submitted clemency petitions, a 50 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: small percentage of the overall total from the White House. 51 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: Even in that number, we identified violent offenders, including those 52 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: who committed acts of violence during the offense. Now, this 53 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: is a screenshot of a much longer email exchange that 54 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: came from Weinsheimer on January eighteenth. This email was directly 55 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: warning the Biden White House that its language about clemency 56 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: subjects was quote untrue or at least misleading. Weinsheimer also 57 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: warned the ambiguous order could unintentionally wipe away convictions for 58 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: many violent felons. He pushed back against the White House, 59 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: messaging that the clemency recipients were only nonviolent drug offenders. 60 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: That's not true. Among them, for example, was Russell Macintosh. 61 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: Now this is not someone you would ever describe as 62 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: a quote nonviolent drug offender. How do we know this? 63 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Russell kill woman and her two year old child to 64 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: protect his drug business. Stephen Fowler, whose enforcer tortured an 65 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: informant with a but tane torch, and Plays Anderson, a 66 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: gangster's disciple member, was implicated in multiple murders and multiple kidnappings. 67 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: This according to a commutation's receipt page from the Department 68 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: of Justice. Now all of the people I just named 69 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: those are not nonviolent drug offenders, as the White House claimed. 70 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: And despite these warnings, the White House released a statement 71 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: in Biden's name touting the mass commutations as relief for 72 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: quote non violent drug offenses and saying it was the 73 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: largest clemency action in US history that we apparently were 74 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: supposed to celebrate it well. In July, in the interview 75 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: with The New York Time, I want to remind you, 76 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: Biden insisted he personally made all clemency decisions, calling Republican 77 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: claims that AIDS misused the autopen ridiculous and quote false. 78 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: Now I'm at scrutiny of his aide's use of the 79 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: automated signature device to place his name on the pardon documents. 80 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: Biden said he approved broad categories of inmates and left 81 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: staff to apply those standards, defending using an autopen as 82 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: a practical tool to process the sheer volume of cases. However, 83 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: the DOJ emails illustrated that inside of Biden's administration, officials 84 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: were at least at the very least very uncertain about 85 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: what Biden was actually ordering them to do, and were 86 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: forced to openly challenge the accuracy of the White House's 87 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: public explanation about what they were executing. Now, Weinsheimer previously 88 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: accused of loyalty to biden administration. He has had warnings, 89 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: by the way, are notable. Why because given his long 90 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: reputation as quote a non political DOJ official a career 91 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: ethics lawyer, he was previously accused, in fact by Republicans 92 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: of playing it behind the scenes role in shaping what 93 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: critics derived as Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal. While his 94 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: father was the President of the United States, of America, 95 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: So you need to know that to put it in perspective. 96 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: In fact, according to multiple reports, Weinsheimer met directly with 97 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 1: the first son Hunter Biden's defence counsel in twenty twenty three. 98 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: This is a move that raised questions about whether the 99 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: DOJ's leadership was actually undermining former US Attorney David Weiss's 100 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: purported independent in that entire case, his career at the 101 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: DOJ ended with a partisan dispute. In February, shortly after 102 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump returned to office, the administration reassigned him to 103 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: a new sanctuary city's task force. Rather than accept the 104 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: politically charge assignment, Weinsheimer accepted a federal employee buyout, part 105 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: of a broader wave of career officials who resisted what 106 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: they viewed as attempts they claimed to politicize the DOJ's 107 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: work altogether. So if you look at exactly what we 108 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: now know, it is clear that there were efforts that 109 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: are happening right now to recover additional records related to 110 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: the oversights projects, pursuit of the internal DOJ emails to 111 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: the White House, and that is ongoing, and also the 112 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: email exchange that we just mentioned. It was revealed on Tuesday, 113 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: we now know was released by the Office of Ed Martin, 114 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: that is Trump's appointees serving as the US part Attorney 115 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: and head of the DOJ anti Weaponization Group. As the 116 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: White House claimed in the final days in office. I 117 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: want to talk to you about my friends at Kirk 118 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago, I got my new 119 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: order of silver. Now I'm investing in silver right now 120 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: because the pricing on it is amazing and the upside well, 121 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: it's real. I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. 122 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: It is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's 123 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: one hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought 124 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: it at the right price and I wasn't paying massive 125 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: up charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then 126 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: when you go to sell them, you take away all 127 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: of your earning potential. Why do they do it this 128 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: way at Kurt Elliot because they have transparent pricing up front. 129 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy, 130 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: and here's what matters to you the most, nothing when 131 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: you sell.

And 161 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: I asked the question, why is it you guys hate 162 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: Donald Trump so much to the point where you won't 163 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: even advocate for and fighting crime when people are dying 164 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. They then said Donald Trump doesn't 165 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: know how to fight crime, and that this is all 166 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: for the cameras. It's all theatrics. That he wasn't actually 167 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: going to fight crime in high crime areas in Washington, 168 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: d C. He was just going to put him around 169 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: the National Mall. Well guess what that was also a lie? 170 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: How do we know it?

In just over a week of data they've 173 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: now received. 174 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: President Trump's efforts to make DC safe again are working. 175 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: There have been a total of four hundred and sixty 176 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: five arrests since the start of this operation on Thursday, 177 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: August seventh, last night, there were a total of fifty 178 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: two arrests, including the arrest of an illegal alien MS 179 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: thirteen gang member with convictions for DWI and drug possession. 180 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: Thanks to President Trump's leadership in the outstanding work of 181 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: both federal and local law enforcement, dangerous gang members like 182 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 2: the one picked up last night will not be allowed 183 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: on the streets of our nation's capital. Other arrests last 184 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: night included assault with a deadly weapon for stabbing, parole 185 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: violation for robbery murder, outstanding warrant for attempted murder, assault 186 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: on federal law enforcement officer, and felony assault. Four more 187 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: homeless encampments were also removed during yesterday's reporting period. To date, 188 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: a total of forty eight homeless encampments have been cleared 189 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. By multi agency teams. MPD patrol 190 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: units are actively working with city officials to locate in 191 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 2: clear additional encampments and remove homeless residents off of Washington streets. 192 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: And despite fake narratives from the media, again, a significant 193 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: number of the arrests have been in high crime areas 194 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: of DC. In fact, nearly half of all of the 195 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: non illegal alien related arrests have occurred in Wards seven 196 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: and eight, the two wards that have the highest number 197 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: of violent cres t as well as homicides and assaults 198 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: with dangerous weapons last year. So while Democrats continue to 199 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: caudle violent criminals, President Trump and this administration are focused 200 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: on putting them behind bars and unapologetically standing up for 201 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: the safety of law abiding American citizens. And the White 202 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: House will continue to provide all of you with the 203 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: results of this operation in the days ahead. 204 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: You listen to what she said, they went into the 205 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: most violent neighborhoods to protect the least among us. You also, 206 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: and if you listen to Democratic Party, they're obsessed with 207 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: Black Lives matter. If I remember correctly, they even painted 208 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: a street with Black Lives Matter on it, the mayor 209 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: of DC making sure it was headed straight to the 210 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: White House. And so why wouldn't you advocate for more 211 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: law enforcement? Now the liberal media narrative has been well, actually, 212 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: things are incredibly safe in DC. They's so much better 213 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: than they were when they they had a quote bad 214 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty three. When we now know that 215 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: there may be massive lives have been told to us 216 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five. What am 217 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: I talking about? Insert the DC police union chairman who's 218 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: now exposing saying there's a very good chance, based on 219 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: what they've seen, that the numbers were deliberately manipulated to 220 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: make crime look like it was lower than it actually 221 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: was in DC. Another Democrat cover up, caring more about 222 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: faking the numbers than fighting crime. Listen to what the 223 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: DC union police chairman had to say on Fox News Channel. 224 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: Can you confirm for us that there have been police 225 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: officers and detectives and members of law enforcement in DC 226 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 3: who on the scene of crimes have been told don't 227 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: write that one down, or don't at don't add that 228 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: to the list, or put that down as a more 229 00:15:59,160 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: minor effect. 230 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 231 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: That's one of the chief complaints of our members when 232 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 5: we go around and talk to them, is that they 233 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: respond to the scenes of these violent crimes, and inevitably 234 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 5: you'll have a captain or a commander or sometimes a 235 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 5: lieutenant show up on the scene and advise them to 236 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 5: take a report for a lesser offense. One of the 237 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 5: things that we see them do often is Sometimes they'll 238 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 5: be a shooting or a stabbing, and if the victim 239 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 5: is uncooperative with the police, which is not uncommon in 240 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 5: some areas of the city, they'll be directed to take 241 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 5: an injured person to the hospital report, which is not 242 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: even a crime at all, it's an incident report. Sometimes 243 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 5: you'll have a robbery, it'll be reported as a theft. 244 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 5: Other times you'll have burglaries that are reported as unlawful 245 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 5: entry or thefts. This is something that's been unfortunately part 246 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 5: and parcel of the police department for some time, and 247 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 5: we're very skeptical that these crime stats are accurate. 248 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 3: That's extraordinary. What is the motivation? Why are these commanders 249 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: or higher ups arriving on the scene during apprehensions and 250 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: telling police officers to indicate something other than what actually 251 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: happened at the scene. 252 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 5: Well, the only explanation you give be to keep the 253 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 5: crime stats down because politically that's expedient for the police 254 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 5: department and elected officials in the district. 255 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 4: I mean, let's go back to how we got here. 256 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 5: Which is that in twenty twenty, the DC City Council 257 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 5: passed the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act, which was 258 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 5: a sweeping piece of legislation designed to hamstring police officers, 259 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 5: to reduce the size, scope, and responsibilities of police officers. 260 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 5: In addition, it also prevented us from holding criminals accountable 261 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 5: even when they're convicted of crimes. And so now here 262 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 5: we are five years later, the police department, with an 263 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 5: authorized strength of four thousand sworn members, we only have 264 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 5: three thy one and eighty, leaving us with over eight 265 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 5: hundred vacancies for the position a police officer. And in 266 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 5: order to make up for that gap, the police department 267 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 5: uses two million hours of mandatory overtime to cover the 268 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 5: demand for police officers. And so because of that, crime 269 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: has skyrocketed in the district. And one of the things 270 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: that we think is going on in the police department, 271 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 5: which who knows how high up that those directives are 272 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 5: coming from, is to make sure that these crime stats 273 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 5: are reported in the most favorable way possible. 274 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: I mean, what you're saying obviously substantiates what we heard 275 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 3: from President Trump. He said they were opening investigation and 276 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: that he didn't believe because what happened. I don't have 277 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: to tell you I'm speaking to the audience at large, 278 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: But when President Trump said he wanted to bring a 279 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 3: national guard. All we heard from many quarters in the 280 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: media and in leadership in Washington was this is ridiculous. 281 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 3: Our numbers are lower than they've been in a long 282 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 3: time in Washington, DC. We don't need national guard presence 283 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 3: on our streets. I mean, this sounds very, very egregious. 284 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 3: This is lying to the people at the constituents of Washington, 285 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 3: d C. And lying to the federal government about what 286 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: your numbers really are. 287 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 5: Well, you're right, Martha, it is a crime under DC Code. 288 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 5: It would be false swearing and it would be false reporting, 289 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 5: and those are statutes in the DC Code that make 290 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 5: it illegal to do that, to false by police reports 291 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 5: or to change the data. So if the DOJ is 292 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 5: in fact investigating, I hope they do, and if they 293 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 5: find that somebody was intentionally manipulating the data, they should 294 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 5: be held accountable. It's a crime in the District of Columbia, 295 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 5: and frankly, it's a disservice to the police department, it's 296 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 5: a disservice to the city, and most of all, it's 297 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 5: a diservice to the victims whose police reports are not 298 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 5: being properly handled. And we're not dedicating the proper resources 299 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 5: to the crimes that they've been victims of. So something 300 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 5: needs to change here, and this is an important issue. 301 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: So let's just go over the DC crime stats. Now, 302 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the 303 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: seven day prior numbers, forty six percent is how much 304 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: they are down when it comes to robberies, six percent 305 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: down when it comes to carjacking, eighty three percent down 306 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: for car theft, twenty one percent, violent crime, twenty two 307 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: percent down, property crime six percent of all crimes. This 308 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: is unbelievable. And now the Justice Department is investigating whether 309 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: the DC police deliberately manipulated crime data. The police chief 310 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: also saying this about DC crime under the Democrats to 311 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: the Republicans, the criminal. 312 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 5: Justice system here in the District of Columbia is broken. 313 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 5: Every aspect of it is broken, whether that's policing, prosecution, 314 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 5: judges and trials, sentencing and supervision, all of it is broken. 315 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 4: And you can. 316 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 5: Trace every aspect of it back to a piece of 317 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 5: legislation that was passed by the council. They have destroyed policing, 318 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 5: they have destroyed prosecutions, they have destroyed the way that 319 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 5: the courts are allowed to operate, and they've destroyed our 320 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 5: ability to sentence criminals to sentences that are commensurate with 321 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 5: the crimes they've committed. And so the only way to 322 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 5: fix this holistically is to go back and look at 323 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 5: all of this legislation that the Council passed it back 324 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty when there was all of this anti 325 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 5: police rhetoric, and work to undo that. 326 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: So just remember this, remember what the Democratic Party is doing. 327 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 1: They're not actually trying to fight crime. They just went 328 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be a failure, even if it means 329 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: Americans dying. We've got a major story that we've got 330 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: to talk about, and I've got all the information you're 331 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: gonna need, and it deals with Vladimir Putin, Ukraine, Zelensky 332 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump. As you know, the summit took place 333 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: on August the fifteenth and Anchorage, Alaska, and officials present, 334 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: including Marco Ruvio and many of the envoy on the 335 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: US side, said that there was real progress that was made. 336 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: Democrats in the media, of course, using the Sunday morning 337 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: shows to lie to the American people. We also now 338 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: know through sources the territorial proposals have been floated. In fact, quote, 339 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: a potential peace framework is emerging. Putin reportedly offered to 340 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: withdraw from small areas in southern Sumi and other areas 341 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: in exchange for larger concessions from Ukraine. However, the ideas 342 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: remain controversial and unresolved. Notably, Russia wants Ukraine to renounce 343 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: NATO membership, partially live sanctions, and acknowledge Russian sovereignty over CRIMEA. 344 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: Ukraine firmly rejecting these conditions publicly today. But then there's 345 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: where are we actually compared to the posturing in public. Well, 346 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: one of the things we are learning about is security guarantees. 347 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: In a notable development, Putin apparently agreed to allow the 348 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: US and Europe to offer Ukraine NATO's style quote unquote 349 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: security guarantees ach into Article five protections. That is a 350 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: historic shift in Russia's posture. Now, there is no agreement yet. 351 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: Despite Donald Trump calling the talks productive and the media 352 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: is saying they're a failure, this seems to be working 353 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: towards a real formal agreement, and both sides are acknowledging 354 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: that major points will have to be discussed, but they're 355 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: willing to do it. Now I'm going to tell you 356 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: what Marco Rubio had to say the Secretary of State 357 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: in his interview on Face the Nation. But I want 358 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: to talk to you about my friends over at Patriot Mobile. 359 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of choices for cell phone service, 360 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: with new ones popping up all the time. But if 361 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: you want to make a difference and you want to 362 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: stop giving your money to liberal companies, well, one way 363 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: you can do that is by getting rid of Liberal 364 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: Mobile you probably have right now. That is where hundreds 365 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: of thousands of Americans are now coming together and have 366 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've been in 367 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 1: service now for thirteen years, and right now is the 368 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: best time ever to switch, because it's never been easier. Now, 369 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: before I tell you about that, I want you to 370 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: know why switching is so important. Because every time you 371 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: make a call, every time you send a text, and 372 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: every time that you pay your bill, you're actually standing 373 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: up for the values you believe in your First and 374 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: your Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children, and 375 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: you stand with our military, our veterans, are wounded warriors, 376 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot Mobile takes about 377 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: five percent your bill every month at no extra cost 378 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: to you, and they give it back to these organizations 379 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: that fight for our values. Now, let's talk about switching. 380 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: It has never been easier. You can keep your same number, 381 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: keep your same phone, or upgrade. Patriot Mobile's got a 382 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: one hundred percent US based customer service team and literally 383 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: they can now with technology, get you activated in minutes 384 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: from the comfort of your home or your office.

All right, 397 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what Marco Rubio had to say. 398 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: He was on face the nation Democrats saying that Donald 399 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: Trump got played by Vladimir Putin. It's absurd. They weren't 400 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: in the room. No he didn't, But there's nothing to 401 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: say that that's actually what happened. Now. Of course, the 402 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: media is running with it because that's what Democrats are saying, 403 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: and why because they would rather score political points against 404 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: is Trump then stop the senseless killing between Russia and Ukraine, 405 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: with the innocent children and women and seniors and men 406 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: and women in general that are being forced to fight 407 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: in this war. I want you to hear the Secretary 408 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: of Saint Rubio on Ukraine and what he says. This 409 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: meeting with Zelenski is going to really look like. 410 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 6: This Weekley, If if Vladimir Putin is going to be 411 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 6: offered land that he has not seized yet but negotiates 412 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 6: his way into, doesn't this set a dangerous precedent that 413 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 6: the United States now accepts this concept that it is 414 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 6: okay to seize land by force. 415 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 7: Well, Putin's already sees land by force, and that in 416 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 7: and of itself is not a positive precedent. 417 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 4: This whole war. A you're demanding withdrawal or precedent. 418 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 7: Well, again, here's the in order to have a deal 419 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 7: here to in to reach the end of this conflict, 420 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 7: both sides are going to have to make concessions. That's 421 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 7: just a fact. Any negotiation, no, no, but if But this 422 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,239 Speaker 7: is not about accepting. This is about what Ukraine can 423 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 7: accept and what Russia can accept. They both have to 424 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 7: accept it, otherwise there won't be a peace deal. Okay, 425 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 7: if there aren't concessions, If one side gets everything they want, 426 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 7: that's called surrender. That's called the end of the war 427 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 7: through surrender, and not what we're close to doing anything 428 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 7: close to it. So in order for there to be 429 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 7: a peace deal, this is just a fact. 430 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: Like it. 431 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 4: It may not, it may may meet this taste. 432 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 7: But in order for there to be an end of 433 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 7: the war, there are things Russia wants that it can 434 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 7: cannot get, and there are things Ukraine wants that it's 435 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 7: not going to get. Both sides are gonna have to 436 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 7: give up something in order to get to the table 437 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 7: in order to make this happen. 438 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 4: That's just the way it is. 439 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 7: And I mean, the sooner we accept that that's the 440 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 7: reality now what those things are, it's gonna be up 441 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 7: to both sides. There's no conditions that can be imposed 442 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 7: on Ukraine. They're gonna have to accept things, but they're 443 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 7: gonna have to get things too. And so, for example, 444 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 7: Ukraine is a sovereign country. They have a right like 445 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 7: every sovereign country does in the world, to have the 446 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 7: enter into security alliances with other countries to prevent an 447 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 7: invasion in the future, to prevent threats to the national security. 448 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 7: That's not an unreasonable request. That's something needs to be 449 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 7: worked on. Territories will have to be discussed. It's just 450 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 7: a fact. And there are things that maybe Russia's holding 451 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 7: now that they're gonna have to give up, who knows. 452 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 7: The point is we need to create a scenario where 453 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 7: that becomes possible. And that's why this has been so hard, 454 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 7: because neither side up to now has been willing to 455 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 7: give on some of these things. 456 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 4: But we'll see if that's possible. 457 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 7: It may not be, but we're gonna try, and we're 458 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 7: gonna do everything we can to try to achieve a peace. 459 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: Now, think about what Karubio just said there. He says 460 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: we're moving towards peace. Why would anyone want a root 461 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: against that? Why would you want to root against President 462 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump if he is able to get these parties 463 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: to the table, which by the way, is exactly what 464 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: he's moving towards right now, getting closer than anybody else has, 465 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: and he now has at least a framework. And that 466 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: is part of what Marco Rubio also said on Face 467 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: the Nation, reminding the host we are moving forward, whether 468 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: you like it or. 469 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 6: Not, asking about the security that you just mentioned there, 470 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 6: because Italy's Prime minister says that President Trump provide the 471 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 6: idea of security guarantees inspired by NATO's Article five and 472 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 6: a collective security clause that would involve the United States. 473 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 6: How does that work? Are these US troops that we're 474 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 6: going to monitors. 475 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 4: Well, that's what we're going to be working on. That's why. 476 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 7: That's one of the reasons why you know, I talked 477 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 7: yesterday to all the national security advisors and a bunch 478 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 7: of them from the different European countries or European leaders 479 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 7: coming here tomorrow, heads of state coming tomorrow along with 480 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 7: President Zelensky to discuss this in more detail. I mean, 481 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 7: the constructs of something like this needs to be built. 482 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 7: Out A concept is one thing. The reality you know, 483 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 7: how it's built and how it would work is another. 484 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 7: But those are the kinds of talks that we're going 485 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 7: to be having with them, along with some of the 486 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 7: other issues that are at play. But that is one 487 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 7: of the if you were to break this thing down. 488 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 7: I mean, there are obviously there needs to be an 489 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 7: agreement on territories and where the lines are going to 490 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 7: be drawn. 491 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 4: That's not going to be very easy. That's going to 492 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 4: be tough. 493 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 7: I think there has to be some discussion about security 494 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 7: guarantees for Ukraine because they don't want this war. None 495 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 7: of us want to see this war in the future. 496 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 7: They're a sovereign country. They have a right to have 497 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 7: security agreements with other countries and security alliances with other countries. 498 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 7: And then there's the whole issue in construction. How do 499 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 7: you rebuild the country? Well, potentially, like I said, that's 500 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 7: what we're going to be having a conversation about, and 501 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 7: that's what we're going to be meeting. That's why they're 502 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 7: all coming here tomorrow, and that's why we've been talking 503 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 7: on the phone for the last forty eight hours. 504 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 4: With them and even leading up to it. Throughout the week, there. 505 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 7: Were various meetings just to sort of filled out some 506 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 7: of these ideas. So all of these right now are ideas. 507 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 7: There are concepts that require some more specificity. Will need 508 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 7: to work with our partners to see what that looks like. 509 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 7: And I think that's an area where potential progress is real. 510 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 7: But that alone won't be enough. There's a bunch of 511 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 7: other things that have to be worked through. 512 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: Here we're gonna be working right. Notice how he's like, 513 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: we have things to work through. There's no way everything 514 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: could be agreed to to stop a multi year war 515 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: in a three hour time span when only one of 516 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: the two parties is in the room with President Trump. 517 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: You think about their definition of success. It was an 518 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: immediate end of the war, a ceasefire immediately when Donald 519 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: Trump walked down of that meeting in Alaska. That was 520 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: never gonna happen. Everyone knows that was never gonna happen. 521 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: There are concessions that may need to be made. There 522 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: are security guarantees that need to be made. And this 523 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: goes back to how much the media hates Donald Trump. 524 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: They would rather him fail then stop the senseless killing 525 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: around the world. Now here's something else. That also center, 526 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: Rubio said that it's important listen carefully. 527 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 7: If not, it's just called surrender. And neither side is 528 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 7: going to surrender, So both sides are going to have 529 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 7: to make concessions. 530 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 4: So, of course concessions were asked. 531 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 7: But what utility would there be of me going on 532 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 7: a program and tell you we've wagged our finger at 533 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 7: Putin and told them you must do this and you 534 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 7: must do that. It's only gonna make it harder and 535 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 7: less likely that they're going to agree to these things. 536 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 7: So these negotiations, as much as everyone would love it 537 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 7: to be a live, pay per view event, these discussions 538 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 7: only work best when they are conducted privately. In negotiating 539 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 7: serious negotiations in which people who have to go back 540 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 7: and respond to constituencies, because even dolitarian governments have constituencies 541 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 7: they have to respond to. 542 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: People have to go back and defend. 543 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 7: These agreements that they make and so and figure out 544 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 7: a way to explain them to people. So we need 545 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 7: to create space for concessions to be made. But of 546 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 7: course concessions were asked. 547 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: Of course concessions were asked. We work and do these 548 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: discussions in private. Isn't it amazing how the media they 549 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: believe they're so important that they should be in the 550 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: middle of negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, the EU, and the 551 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: United States of America. Ultimately, the President of the United 552 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: States of America, Donald Trump, knows one thing. This piece 553 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: deal is not going to be done without Vladimir Putin 554 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: agreeing to it and also Zelensky agreeing to it. So 555 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: the question is coming out of this meeting at the 556 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: White House, the one on one was Zelensky and then 557 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: the meeting with all of the world leaders, what was 558 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: Zolensky's mindset? Does he want peace or does he want 559 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: this three plus year war to continue. I want you 560 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: to listen to Zolensky in his own words at the 561 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: White House. This is at the very end of the 562 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: day after the meetings had taken place, and here is 563 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: what he said to close it all out. 564 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. 565 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 8: I can speak without my perform. 566 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. 567 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 8: I think that we had a very good conversation with President, 568 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 8: very good and it really was the best one or sorry, 569 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 8: maybe the best one will be in the future, but 570 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 8: it was really good and we spoke about very sensitive points. 571 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 8: The first one is security guarantees and We are very 572 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 8: happy with President that all the leaders are here, and 573 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 8: the security in Ukraine depends on the United States and 574 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 8: on you and on those leaders who are with us 575 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 8: in our hearts. They have been online before yesterday and etc. 576 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 8: So a lot of countries on the side of Ukraine, 577 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 8: our people and all of us want to finish this word, 578 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 8: stop Supprussian and stop this war. We spoke about it 579 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 8: and we will speak more about security guarantees. This is 580 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 8: very important that the United States gives such strong signal 581 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 8: and is ready for security guarantees. The second point, or 582 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 8: maybe the first humanitarian direction were important to change all 583 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 8: the prisoners, and I think that President will help. And 584 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 8: I was very said to your wife again, mister President, 585 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 8: for the letter about our abductive children, and I hope 586 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 8: that really it can be historic role for the people 587 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 8: to bring kids back to the families and be happy 588 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 8: the people. This is so so important and I'm happy 589 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 8: that we discussed it. 590 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 4: This tracked with the President Trump, and I hope that. 591 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 8: We will find decisions and then what is very important 592 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 8: that all the sensitive things territorial and et cetera week 593 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 8: we will discuss on the level of leaders during trilateral 594 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 8: meeting and President Trump will try to organize such meeting, 595 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 8: and he said that he will come or not come. 596 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 8: Ukraine will be happy. 597 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 3: If if you, if you, if you will will be there, 598 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 3: will be there. 599 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you, and I think this is very important.

Thank you 606 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 8: so much. 607 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 2: Thank you for the. 608 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 4: Map, by the way, it was great. 609 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 8: I'm thinking how to take it back. 610 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 9: We'll get you. 611 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 8: No. I think that we had constructive, specific meeting and 612 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 8: I'm very thankful to all the all the leaders who 613 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 8: are here and you help a lot, and so we're 614 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 8: happy that we have such a big unity today. 615 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 4: Thank you, mister, Thank you very much. 616 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 9: I think you'll say that President really would like to 617 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 9: do something else. I think when we set that up, 618 00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 9: when we do, I think it's going to be when 619 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 9: if I think you're going to see some very really 620 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 9: positive moves. 621 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: There's a couple takeaways from what you just heard. Number one, 622 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: the media. They hate that President Trump is bringing these 623 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: two countries closer to a piece agreement. They hate that 624 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: they cannot continue to lie to you claiming that Vadimir 625 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: Putin played Donald Trump. They hate the fact that Donald 626 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: Trump is respected by all of these world leaders who 627 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: are saying to him, thank you, and we've never been 628 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: closer in the last three years. And they would rather 629 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: Donald Trump be a failure the Democratic Party and the 630 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: media then stop the killing of so many people in 631 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: Ukraine and in Russia. Let that sink in. That is 632 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: what President Trump is up against, and that's what many 633 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: conservatives are up against every single day by the people 634 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: in our media and the Democratic Party in America. Right now, 635 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: during a day full of crunch peace talks with leaders 636 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom, the European Union, NATO, and Ukraine, 637 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't isolated from direct contact with Russia. Again, this 638 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: goes back to the media lying to us. President Trump 639 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: broke off. We are now being told to personally call 640 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: Moscow to arrange a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelensky, 641 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: and ultimately the goal is to set up a three 642 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: way meeting in which he will act as a mediator 643 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: for a final peace agreement. Now, before the breakthrough by 644 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: the President on Monday afternoon, you have to understand the 645 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: Kremlin had been going nuts and saying that they would 646 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: not agree to any face to face talks. Was Olenski 647 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: opting only to negotiate through the Trump and the White House. 648 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: The President, writing on true Social quote, at the conclusion 649 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: of the meetings, I called President Putin and began the 650 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: arrangements for a meeting at a location to be determined 651 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: between President Putin and President Zelenski. After that meeting takes place, 652 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: we will have a trilateral meeting, which would be the 653 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: two presidents plus myself. Again, this is a very good 654 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: early step for a war that's been going on for 655 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: almost four years. President United States of America made it 656 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: clear that he was going to be a president of peace. 657 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 1: He wanted to broker these types of deals if he 658 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: was elected. He wanted to move forward to make sure 659 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: that this was something that could happen and it could 660 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: be real, something that Joe Biden could never get. And 661 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: that is exactly why I voted for him, and I 662 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: hope you did as well. Don't forget share this podcast. 663 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: Please with your family and your friends wherever they are, 664 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow
