1
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Good eating America, and welcome to a very special Wednesday

2
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: edition of Justin New's no Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon. Yes,

3
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm in Washington, but we're not in our normal digs.

4
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: That's why I say this is a special night. We're

5
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: at the White House, that's right, and we're broadcasting live.

6
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: Why because just a little while ago President Trump an

7
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Perteant Attorney General Pambonding had a press

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: conference and they briefed America on the extraordinary results of

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: a summer operation unlike anything I've seen in the thirty

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: years i've covered the FBI. Eighty six hundred felons taken

11
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: off the street, hundreds of children rescued from unsafeer indentured

12
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: servitude situations, thousands of guns taking up the street. Well,

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: let me bring in quickly, my amazing coast. You get

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: to do this place every day. It's I used to

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: cover her a lot, not as much. I didn't see

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: an old office press conference like this in a very

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: long time.

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: It's very unique.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: It was wonderful to see it, and it was awesome

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: to see the three perspectives of the folks who deeply,

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: deeply care about this country.

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 4: And they want the best, even for blue cities.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: That's what's most remarkable to me about this John, is

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 3: that you've got three patriots who care about the cities

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: that probably didn't vote for them, and they want to

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: see things cleaner.

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: I loved that President Trump was leaning into.

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: The notion that hey, if you've got dirty, crime ridden

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: cities and you've got a FIFA game coming to your city,

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: guess what we're going to rethink that if you're not

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: going to let us come in and clean it up.

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: So I thought that it was fantastic. I thought the

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: FBI director, who is sitting to our left, I thought

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: he did a fantastic job taking on an agency that

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: a lot of folks lost a lot of trust in

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: and he is rebuilding it brick by brick.

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: He says it.

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: He's let copy cops again. And that's why I were succeeding.

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: And that's not waste sitting with time. Let's bring them in,

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: our good friend. The director of the FBI. Cash Hotel

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: was an amazing day. I want to start. These numbers

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: are extraordinary. You did a great job briefing everybody. I've

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: been talking a lot of law enforcement and they say

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: that you yourself put a very important strategy in place, and

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: that was, if you want to bring crime down quickly,

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: you go after the kingpins, all the big guys who've

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: been left on the street. You work the top of

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: the organizations, these crime groups, and then all of a

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: sudden you disable them downstream. Talk a little bit about

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: the strategy you brought in with the great team that

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: you've had at.

52
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 5: The end, Well, I'd love to be able to take

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 5: credit for it, but I may have had one of

54
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 5: the ideas.

55
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 6: But there's two groups.

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 5: There's one man who is responsible for Operation Summer Heat,

57
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: and the architect is Deputy Director Dan Bonginia. Yeah, he

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 5: drew it up, he put out the mechanics, he went

59
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 5: to the field, and he went one hundred percent for

60
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: these last seven months, and the men and women of

61
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 5: the FBI executed Deputy Director Bongino's Summer Heat operation. And

62
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 5: Summer Heat that's just a three month snapshot, by the way, right,

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 5: that was only three months from June to September. So

64
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 5: the numbers you just announced, we just released the numbers

65
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: for the last eight straight months of the FBI, and

66
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: the number people should take away more than anything as

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 5: a result of this because summer heat was our juggernaut

68
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: that we used to kinetically operate in Memphis, in Chicago,

69
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 5: in every major city literally in America. We have over

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 5: twenty eight thousand arrests year to date this year alone

71
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: of violent offenders.

72
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 6: Twenty eight thousand.

73
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

74
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: Put it.

75
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 5: But just for people who don't know to put that

76
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: in perspective. Last year, year to date, the Biden administration

77
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 5: had fourteen thousand.

78
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 6: Wow, we're double double, We're double.

79
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: And that's because the failed policies of Biden administration allowed

80
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: these criminals to come in. And President Trump gave me

81
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: and Dana an agenda to say, you have to rid

82
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 5: our cities of these violent criminals. And that's the top

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 5: line number that matters more than anything. We could break

84
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: the rest down.

85
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a chart you showed people to.

86
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: It's a belk.

87
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: We got the FBAT last four years like this, and

88
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it goes just like that.

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: It's remarkable.

90
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: Director when you look at these blue cities where crime

91
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: has become really an institutionalized infestation.

92
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: These are Democrat run cities. But when you go when

93
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: and you clean it up, you not only the crime.

94
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: But also the drugs that are there, physically taking the

95
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: drugs out of those cities. I can imagine that there

96
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: are folks there who who vote blue, moms, dads, grandmothers, grandfathers,

97
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: who are very happy for what you are doing. At

98
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: the FBI talked to us about the reception from those folks.

99
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: Well, like President Trump says, we don't see cities as

100
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 5: blue and red when it comes to law enforcement.

101
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 6: You just can't.

102
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: Every American deserves a safe community for their kids to

103
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 5: grow up in. And so what we did was we

104
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: went out and found cities like Memphis, who, by the way,

105
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: had the highest per capita homicide rate in the country,

106
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 5: and we went in at President Trump's direction, and Dan

107
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 5: and I created a plan to go in there quietly

108
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 5: and do what we call operational preparation of the environment,

109
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 5: do the intelligence ground level collection with our state and

110
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 5: local partners. And then we went into every single field

111
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: office fifty six different field office across this country. And

112
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 5: then the exact same thing in places like Dallas and

113
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 5: Houston and Los Angeles where you saw us dismantled the

114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 5: riders in Portland where we're getting after it. And what

115
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 5: that leads to is numbers that are historic because the

116
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 5: prior administration allowed so many criminals to flourish over four years.

117
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: When you're taking down gang enterprises by the hundreds, when

118
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: you're dismantling child sex abuse rings by the thousands, that

119
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: is a massive influx of crime that had been allowed

120
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 5: to flourish for far too long. And one of the

121
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 5: numbers we're most proud of is our fight against fentanyl.

122
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 5: We have made it a national priority because the President

123
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: knows and rightly so has said it is a scourge

124
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: that is killing over one hundred thousand people.

125
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 6: So this year, year to date alone.

126
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 5: We have seized over excuse me, nineteen hundred kilograms of fentanyl.

127
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 5: That is a thirty one percent increase year to date

128
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 5: from the Biden administration and nineteenth excuse me, one thousand,

129
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 5: nine hundred kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill one

130
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 5: hundred and thirty million Americans.

131
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 6: That's unbelievable, third third of the country.

132
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah, that's statistic. When you said it in

133
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: the Oval Office, was just jaw dropping to hear. There's

134
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: one statistic got paid attention to. Because I've fought a

135
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: long time covering counter intelligence speats in this country. They

136
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: went way up under Joe Biden because that border was

137
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: here more than a triple of counterintelligence cases. You're getting

138
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: bad foreigners with ill intent off of our So I'll

139
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit how you done.

140
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's not just the crushing violent crime mission

141
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 5: into defending the homeland mission. They're both priorities equally important

142
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: and to counterman not just the counter terrorism threat and

143
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 5: the narco trafficking threat, which we've had historic results on.

144
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 5: You got to go after the spies, and the spies

145
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 5: are coming from Russia and the PRC in Iran, and

146
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: in this calendar year alone, we have more than increased

147
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 5: the number of rests of spies by thirty five percent

148
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: on average for each country.

149
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 6: What does that tell us?

150
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: That means they were putting into place long term plans

151
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: in the Biden administration to go after and steal our

152
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 5: secrets and sell our agricultural secrets and hip them back

153
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: to mainland China and Russian Iran and rob the American

154
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 5: public not just of our ingenuity, but of our precious resources.

155
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: And we in this FBI went after them because President

156
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: Trump made it a priority to go after national security

157
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: and protect the homeland, and when you see that many

158
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 5: spies running around this country, you have to ask yourself,

159
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 5: why did was that ever a how to occur in

160
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 5: the United States of America.

161
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 6: But thank god for President Trump and this.

162
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 5: FBI and the men and women there that are going

163
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: after it at historic levels.

164
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 6: The numbers.

165
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: The fake news will probably attack the numbers, but all

166
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 5: that is is you're attacking the men and women of

167
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: the FBI, and so you know they can do with

168
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: it what they might may.

169
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 6: But those numbers don't lie.

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're big.

171
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: Speaking of the men and women of law enforcement, we

172
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: now know that Chicago, the city leadership told local law

173
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: enforcement to stand down and to not answer distress calls

174
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: from Ice officials. How concerned are you that this is

175
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: an epidemic? Because Portland seems like it's rife for this

176
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: type of issue? Is it in other cities as well? So?

177
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 5: I was in Chicago just last week on the ground

178
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 5: right there at our command center, and what I saw

179
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 5: was the interagency with the FBI leading the charge going

180
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 5: after the violent criminals, going after with Chicago p D.

181
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: And here's the thing about Chicago p D. They want

182
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 6: to do the work.

183
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 5: It's their leadership that wants to get in their way

184
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: and obstruct because they're playing politics with American people's lives.

185
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: And the only person in government that's not playing politics

186
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: with American people's lives is Trump. He had the audacity

187
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: and made the right decision to go into Chicago, the

188
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: most bluest of blue cities, maybe in all of America,

189
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: because he doesn't care if it's blue or red. He

190
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: knows it's when you have twelve hundred people getting shot

191
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: in a calendar year, that's way too many. When you

192
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: have over five hundred homicides in a calendar year, that's

193
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: way too many. So he sent us in quietly the

194
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 5: FBI months ago, and we reduced a number of homicides

195
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: by twenty five percent in just a few months we've

196
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: been there.

197
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 6: But that's just phase one.

198
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 5: We now need the National Guard, we now need DHS,

199
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 5: We now need our inturgency partners to finish the job,

200
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: and we're going to continue working with Chicago PD. There's

201
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 5: nothing that mayor or governor can say that's going to

202
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 5: turn that off.

203
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: I love that the President shouted that out because a

204
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't know you went in months ago

205
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: and that things were coming down because of that operation,

206
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: which didn't brag about it.

207
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: It just happened, and it's an amazing moment.

208
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: I want to turn to something that the Democrats often

209
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: try to deny and the media try to deny, and

210
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: that's Antifa and these sort of radicalized groups that are

211
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: aiming for our children in their minds. You made this

212
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: a high priority effort. I've talked a lot of people

213
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: who we say there's enormous progress. And one of the

214
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: things I've learned in just my reporting, there seems to

215
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: be a lot of connections to these radicalized groups, to

216
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: nonprofit money, and maybe to some of those foreign enemies,

217
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: some of those people you just mentioned in Iran and

218
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Venezuela and Russia. What are we learning and what can

219
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: you tell us about this threat?

220
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: So look, the thing I can tell you is that

221
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: money doesn't lie. And the thing we're doing at the

222
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 5: FBI is following the money. And thanks to President Trump,

223
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 5: we now have Antifa designated rightfully so as a domestic

224
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 5: terror organization, and we have had multiple investigations going on,

225
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: not just in Portland, where we are mapping out the money,

226
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: and we are using social media and the influencers that

227
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 5: the President had here just this last week, because they're

228
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: the ones on the ground getting us ground level intelligence,

229
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: because law enforcement isn't able to enter these spaces and

230
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 5: these people are brave enough to do it. So we

231
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 5: already have dozens of arrests of these individuals involved. But

232
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 5: what we want to do is, as you pointed out,

233
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 5: is someone is paying for this. These are organized acts

234
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: of violence, fully funded by people who don't even live

235
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: necessarily in these communities, showing up in dozens with the

236
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: same placards, the same helmets, the same rioch gear. Someone's

237
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 5: paying for it, and we're on the verge of finding

238
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: that out thanks to these new authorities.

239
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: Wow, are you finding a substantial amount of crossover between

240
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: Antifa groups and now what we are seeing as almost

241
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: militant trans groups.

242
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 5: I think there's going to be some crossover, for sure.

243
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: But what that raises in my mind is the problem

244
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 5: that I've been trying to tackle for a long time,

245
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 5: which is social media is wildly out of control. I mean,

246
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: our kids are allowed to go on these gaming platforms

247
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 5: for fair purposes gaming, but then unfortunately you have the

248
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 5: child predators that go on these gaming platforms. You have

249
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 5: Antifa that goes on these gaming platforms and no one's

250
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 5: overseeing them because our kids aren't monitored while they're on

251
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 5: these platforms. And they're taking advantage of lawful use of

252
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 5: these mechanisms to make basically an anarchist system that wants

253
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: to take down the United States government. And that's why

254
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 5: this threat is so real, and that's why we in

255
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 5: this White House and this administration are so fervently tackling

256
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 5: it with every resource we have.

257
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 6: The FBI, we've created.

258
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: An entire new program and division dedicated to rooting out

259
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: the money that is funding these operations, whether it's US

260
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: based or domestically excuse me, internationally. We're going to get there,

261
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 5: and I think you're going to see even more crossover.

262
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: It's these communities that you identify.

263
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: It's amazing, will are our enemies taking advantage of these

264
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: anarchist groups are using them as proxies to further disabilize

265
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: our country. Do you see some foreign in the Cubas

266
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: Venezuela as Iron's involved with them?

267
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 5: Well, I think they were before President Trump sealed the border.

268
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 5: You know, they were coming in by the thousands, these criminals,

269
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: and they were taking advantage of America and our resources.

270
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 5: That are supposed to be for as citizens were lawfully here.

271
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 5: And so when you stop and seal the border, that's

272
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 5: step one, like the President did. But now what you

273
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 5: have to do is go clean up four years of

274
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 5: the Biden administration's mess that has been allowed to embed themselves.

275
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 5: They're not just there for a fleeting moment. They're living

276
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 5: as your neighbors and you don't even know it. And

277
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 5: that's the thing we try to highlight when we talk

278
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 5: about these crimes against children that people are doing. They

279
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: are done by people not just violent anarchists, but people

280
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: who are in positions of power and are supposed to

281
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: be protecting our youth. So there is a crossover of

282
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: all of this and that is why we are out

283
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 5: there crushing violent crime and using operations summer heat to

284
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: do it.

285
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: That's huge.

286
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: I think that the militant trans issue.

287
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: Really became familiar to the American people last month when

288
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk was killed. I mean, you guys at breakneck

289
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: speed found this guy, you identified him, you profiled the

290
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: type of person that he would be, and that's incredible.

291
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: Is there more evidence that you guys can offer to people,

292
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: Maybe video from that roof do you expect that there

293
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: will be more to be released.

294
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 5: I think the best thing we can do for Charlie,

295
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: especially me as FBI Director and our team, is to

296
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 5: prosecute this case in the courts of law where it

297
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: is in Utah and the state of court of law.

298
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 5: And what we're going to do is what we've done.

299
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 5: Give them every piece of evidence we collect. Our cellular

300
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 5: analysis systems are the best in the world, and that's

301
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 5: what the FBI does, and that's what we flew in

302
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 5: and did. That's how we led the manhunt and got

303
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: him in thirty three short hours. And every single piece

304
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 5: of video or forensic evidence or wit iness interview, We've done,

305
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 5: dozens and dozens gone on these platforms, found every single

306
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 5: person all of that material. And I know this is

307
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 5: frustrating the public, and I understand it, but I'm not

308
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: going to allow the Charlie Kirk prosecution to be dismantled

309
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: because we want to get out of our skis and

310
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 5: publicize information. That is the one thing you cannot do.

311
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: We will make everything public in court.

312
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 6: It just takes time.

313
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: It does it always does in these cases. Is there

314
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: any possibility that other people involved when you talked it

315
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: at the White House, I sort of got a little

316
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: inking that maybe you're looking at other people.

317
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: Just we're looking at everyone that was there, that was online,

318
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 5: and we're looking to refer these matters to the state

319
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 5: prosecution authorities when there's enough evidence. But the reality is,

320
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 5: again with social media, when you have hysterical conspiracy theories

321
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 5: filling the void, you're harming Charlie and his family and

322
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 5: a rightful prosecution of his alleged accession, who we have

323
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: in custody and rightly so in my opinion, and if

324
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: anyone helped him. Do you think that we at this

325
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: FBI are literally going to let them get away with it?

326
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: Us standing silent in the face of growing conspiracy theories.

327
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 5: That's what we do to shut down a faulty prosecution.

328
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 5: That's what we do to shut down a system of

329
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 5: justice that wants to be exploited by these same anarchists.

330
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 5: And that's what they're doing. They're bringing it to social media,

331
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 5: they're bringing it online for clickbait, and we're not going

332
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 5: to take it. We don't care what you say about

333
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 5: me or Dan Bongino or anyone in leadership at the FBI.

334
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 6: They're just going to keep doing the work.

335
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: There is such a stark difference between the last administration

336
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: and this one. You had under Director Ray and under

337
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, you had folks like Catholics who attended Latin Mass,

338
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: parents to school board meetings, lawful gun owners who were

339
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: targeted by this administration.

340
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: On the other hand, now we have a.

341
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: Situation where you have a lot of political violence. Last administration,

342
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: they didn't deserve it. This time around, though, Are you

343
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: guys taking a keen interest in investigating and placing a

344
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: focus on that type of violence.

345
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely, there's no type of violence that's going to be

346
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 5: accepted by this FBI. But the difference between this FBI

347
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: and the prior administration's fbis is simple. We are not weaponized,

348
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: We are not politicized. We are removing the fans of weaponization.

349
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: You saw what they did from everything between Russiagate and

350
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: attacking Catholics and everything in between to leaking and spying

351
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 5: on senators unlawfully. So this FBI under my leadership, has

352
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: been more transparent than ever before. We have produced to

353
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: Congress four times as many documents in seven months that

354
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 5: then Comy and Raidd combined. And we're going to continue

355
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 5: on that my commitment to work with the American public

356
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: is not just a transparency effort, but it's also to

357
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 5: have accountability in the public forum, not just in the

358
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 5: courts of law, to say, these people corrupted our system

359
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: of justice, and we're showing you how they do it,

360
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 5: and we're showing it on everything from January sixth on on.

361
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: I've talked to members of Congress and some staffers who said,

362
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: for the first time, but able to do real oversight

363
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: of the FBI because you've got them things in some

364
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: cases that they were looking for for like seven eight years.

365
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: They're painting for seven eight years, and you've got them there.

366
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: What's the biggest surprise that you've learned since you've been

367
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: in the FABI. What's the thing that surprised you most

368
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: about now being its director? I don't know.

369
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 6: That's a tough one.

370
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: I think maybe the men and women of the FBI

371
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: I've known always wanted to do the work. The thing

372
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: that surprised me the most is that the prior leadership

373
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: allowed so many people who had a political motivation to

374
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: operate a law enforcement agency. I knew there was something. Remember,

375
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: I ran the rush to get investigation, so I knew

376
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 5: that there was a number of folks there, but I

377
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 5: made a commitment to the American people and the President

378
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 5: Trump when I got this job, We're going to find

379
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: them all. And I think there's more that we found

380
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 5: in this FBI in these short seven months and the

381
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: American public ever even expected.

382
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 6: And we've expelled all of them. And if there's.

383
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 5: Anyone remaining that's doing a weaponization or politicization at the bureau,

384
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: they're going to be removed immediately.

385
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure we've known you a long time. We've had

386
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: you on this show for a long time. We know

387
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: you as extremely patriotic when you have these tough days

388
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: on the job because you inherited a bear of a job.

389
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: When you come across these days on the job, which

390
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: I know is probably every day. Is it transparency that

391
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 3: keeps you going? Is it accountability? Is it a desire

392
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 3: to see overhaul at the agency?

393
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: What drives you?

394
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 6: It's all of the above.

395
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 5: You know, when there's nothing that can prepare you to

396
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 5: be the director of the FBI, I don't care what

397
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 5: anyone says. There's no job or sequence of jobs that

398
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 5: gets you ready for it. What you have to do

399
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 5: is stick to what got you here in the first place,

400
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 5: and for me, that was a mission of accountability, not

401
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 5: just for the criminals in the streets and terrorists and

402
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 5: drug traffickers that are harming our way of life, but

403
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 5: the hypocrisy at the FBI had to be shattered from

404
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 5: prior leadership because they would not look inward because they

405
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 5: were the ones, some of which have now been charged,

406
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 5: who are committing the most heinous crimes against the United

407
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 5: States of America. And that's what the American publicist ticked

408
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 5: off that So that motivates me more than anything else

409
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 5: to root out the corruption that was embedded into this

410
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: FBI and restore the trust of this FBI.

411
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 6: Past leaders talked about.

412
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: It and then did the opposite and embedded themselves in

413
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: a system of corruption and lied and used the intelligence

414
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 5: community law enforcement go after their enemies. And when they

415
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 5: now come after us like they didn't, one of the

416
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 5: questions we have in the Oval was, well, what about

417
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: weaponization of law enforcement? Is the utter height of hypocrisy

418
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 5: for someone like James Comey and his band of miscreants

419
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: to tell me and lecture me about how law enforcement

420
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 5: should be when they are the ones that authored and

421
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 5: penned the biggest criminal conspiracy in US history, which was Russigate.

422
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we now help Director Comye under indictment, so

423
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: he's facing that accountability for the first time. I want

424
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: to finish with something that obviously got a lot of attention.

425
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: It got the attention because you found the records and

426
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: your team got them to Congress. First were eight or

427
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: nine members of Congress whose phone records were rifled through.

428
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: And I know the FBI gets the blame for it,

429
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: but actually it was Jacksmith's team that gets the subpoenea

430
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: and gets so so's doing its job today. We also

431
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: learned that there was an effort by the January sixth

432
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: Committee to get the FBI to take a whole bunch

433
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: I guess thirty million lines of phone records. I don't

434
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: think the FBI did it, but it seems to me

435
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: that American's phone records maybe didn't have a lot of

436
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: protection during the Obama Biden years. Are you looking at

437
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: some new civil liberty protections to make sure their aren't

438
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: abuses in the future.

439
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 5: Absolutely, we're working on our department. We've already implemented changes,

440
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 5: We've already informed Congress we won't be grabbing their cell

441
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 5: phone records or their staffer cell phone records, for just

442
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 5: a sense of weaponization. We're never going to be participating

443
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 5: in any of that. And some of the reforms we've

444
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: implemented on Faiza and so many other corrupt institutions that

445
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 5: were weaponized by the likes of Komi and Strack and

446
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: Paige and so many others. We've ended that regime and

447
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 5: they hate us for it. And the mainstream media who

448
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 5: bought into their conspiracy theories because they hated President Trump

449
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 5: so much that they were willing to spread fake news.

450
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 5: They're part of the scheme too, and we're exposing every

451
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 5: single one of them. So the good news about this FBI,

452
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: it is mission focused. It is law enforcement first, and

453
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter if you're red or blue.

454
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: Or in between, or where you live.

455
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: We're going to come in and root out not just criminality,

456
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 5: but corruption in every single town in this country.

457
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: You have time for one more, Please take a lot.

458
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 3: A lot of Americans, because of controversies of the last

459
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 3: ten years or so, are ready to be done with

460
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: the ATF. They want to see it abolish. But I

461
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: know you your hands are full. Would you like to

462
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: at least see that those responsibilities reabsorbed by the FBI.

463
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 6: So look, the ATF.

464
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 5: We work hand in glove with these guys, and I

465
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 5: was the acting director of the ATF for my first

466
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 5: month on the job.

467
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 6: They're awesome.

468
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 5: They have a mission set that we must have in

469
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 5: law enforcement in the eighteen eleven special agent community, and

470
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 5: so they're doing their job.

471
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 6: I understand.

472
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 5: Again, in the past, the ATF was weaponized, whether it

473
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 5: was gun running under one of the former DOJ meaters

474
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: Holder and all this other stuff that people are rightfully

475
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 5: so ticked off. But here's what President Trump's doing. He's

476
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 5: putting in leaders to restore the trust and credibility by

477
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 5: putting these folks, whether it's at a FBI or ATF

478
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 5: out in the field and not in Washington, d C.

479
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: To chase criminals. And I think everyday Americans are seeing that.

480
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 5: I mean, when you see these results that we've talked

481
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 5: about in fifty four hundred children that the FBI is

482
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 5: found and identify, that's a thirty five percent increase. Four

483
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 5: of the world's top ten most wanted FBI fugitives captured

484
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 5: in seven months. Seven months, that's the same amount as

485
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 5: Biden did in four years. I think the American public

486
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: is seeing when you let law enforce with the FBI

487
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 5: atf who have you do their jobs. It doesn't matter

488
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 5: where they're housed. The problem was the people that were

489
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: running them.

490
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: Somewhere Tonight, either watching the Oval Office press conference of

491
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: the showtime, there's a parent who has their kid back

492
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: because you went and got them, your agents went and

493
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: got them. That's an extraordinary thing to say, because it

494
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. Last question, all the things that

495
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: you've seen, all the weaponization you've uncovered since you gave

496
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: in and U found these secret files or restricted files,

497
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: all those things. Beyond those who are already charged, do

498
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: you think you've seen other crimes that might eventually get

499
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: referred to justice.

500
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: Yes, we are looking at so many different leads on

501
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 5: criminal activity by those who are in positions of power,

502
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 5: and we're not going to stop until every single one

503
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 5: of those is it's fully exposed, the documents are provided

504
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 5: either to Congress or the courts of law and make

505
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 5: every referral wee Canada the Department of Justice. These indictments

506
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 5: that you've seen and the ones that you're going to

507
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 5: see coming up here in this new or future are

508
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 5: just the beginning. But I have to remind the audience

509
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 5: one thing. Everybody's like, it's seven months. What have you

510
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 5: guys been doing? Yeah, well, they spent twenty years building

511
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 5: this disease temple of corruption. It takes a little bit

512
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 5: of time to defeat it and beat it down. And

513
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 5: I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you

514
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: to look at the work the men and women of

515
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: the FBI have done so far in these seven eight months,

516
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 5: and just imagine what we're going to do come the

517
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 5: year end.

518
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: The FBI looks a lot more like the one I

519
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: covered twenty thirty years ago than the one I had

520
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 1: to endure and cover the last ten years, and has

521
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: a great credit to you, Director, There's no doubt about

522
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: the President said it today. We know it's true. What

523
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: an honor to have you on such a busy day.

524
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Thanks so much, guys, what a

525
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: great conversation. All right, folks, we're gonna take a quick

526
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: comercial break when we come back. We had a great

527
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: conversation with Congressan Mike Kennedy, Ibutah. He had a lot

528
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: of good things to say about the FBI. He's pretty

529
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: excited about what's going on. We'll have that next right

530
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: after these messages. Hey, folks, I knew we all have

531
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: two ages, our actual age and our bodies internal biological age.

532
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: What I didn't know is I'd likely lowered by biological

533
00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: age without even thoughing.

534
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.

535
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: Because Americans eat so many processed foods and not enough

536
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: fruits and veggies, many here a ten plus years older

537
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: on the inside than their actual age, and that is

538
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: a ticking time bomb. Major university study suggests how to

539
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: slow aging and diffuse that biological time bombs. Participants slow

540
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: their aging by drinking Field of Greens.

541
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: That's all.

542
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: They didn't change their eating, drinking, or exercise. Just took

543
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: Field of greens. Eat fruit and vegetable in Field of

544
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: greens was doctor selected for specific health benefits, sell health,

545
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: heart lungs, kidney metabolism, even healthy weight. I feel great

546
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging,

547
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: and I encourage you to join me. Swap your own

548
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: tested fruit, vegetable or green drink for a Field of

549
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: Greens while there's still time. Check out the university study

Speaker 1: code just news.

553
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. The government shut down dragged on. Remember

554
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: the record is thirty five days. That was the end

555
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: of twenty eighteen going into twenty nineteen under President Trump's

556
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 3: first turn. We are now, I believe, on day fifteen.

557
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: So joining us now to discuss if this is going

558
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 3: to be the longest we've seen, if it surpasses that

559
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: thirty five days. We've got Congressman Mike Kennedy from the

560
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: great state of Utah.

561
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 4: Sir, thank you so much for being here.

562
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 7: Man, Thanks for having me on. I'm glad we could

563
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 7: get this schedule finally. We've been wanting to visit with

564
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 7: you too for a while, so glad to see.

565
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: You me too. We are so glad to have you here, sir.

566
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 4: Thirty five days is the record.

567
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what it will take to bring Democrats

568
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: to the table before that day. What are you feeling

569
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: is going to bring them to the table.

570
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 7: We're here and we're on the street that they have

571
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 7: a We Hate America rally this coming Saturday, and so

572
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 7: they don't want to fold to their progressive side of

573
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 7: their party. Until after that. I'm sure for them to

574
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 7: go to this rally on Saturday is something that they

575
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 7: can't go saying we just we just folded to the Republicans,

576
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 7: and so they're at this point going to hold out

577
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: through this week. I expect what's going to happen next

578
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 7: week any anybody's guests. But I'll just remind you and

579
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 7: your listeners and watchers that twenty six days ago we've

580
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 7: voted to.

581
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: Fund the government.

582
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 7: So anybody complaining about our TSA and air traffic controller

583
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 7: people that aren't being paid right now, the government workers

584
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 7: that are furloughed, we already voted to fund all those people,

585
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 7: and I believe that was the right thing to do.

586
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 7: We're just waiting for some seven sensible Democrats on the

587
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 7: Senate side to actually support us in this effort just

588
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 7: to fund the government.

589
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny, sir, you're one of the most popular

590
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: people on a program because we've been talking a lot

591
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: about this legislation that you and others are pushing that

592
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: when members of Congress failed to get a budget done,

593
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: they shouldn't collect their paychecks.

594
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: People love this idea.

595
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: Tell us why you inspired it or what inspired you

596
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: to do it, and then what reaction you get when

597
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: you talk to veryda Americans about it.

598
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 7: We saw this looming government shut down and this was

599
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 7: a great time to send that bill out and file

600
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 7: that bill in the form of, look, if Congress isn't

601
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 7: going to do its job, then congress people should not

602
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 7: get their pay and I totally support that. So I

603
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 7: filed that bill. We'll see if we can make it

604
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 7: through this process. But when I talk to average people

605
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 7: about that, absolutely, if you're not going to show up

606
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 7: to work, you don't get a paycheck. I'm a small

607
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 7: business owner before I came to Congress, and that's how

608
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 7: it works is if you don't come to work, you

609
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 7: don't get paid. And Congress shouldn't be held to the

610
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 7: same standard.

611
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, idea.

612
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 3: So when it comes to the messaging war, especially on

613
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: things like this, no work, no pay, it absolutely is

614
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: common sense. But I was at Treasury earlier today and

615
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: both Treasury Secretary Scott Besson as well as Trade Representative

616
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 3: Jameson Greer. Both of them started by saying, you know,

617
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 3: the Democrats shutdown, the Schumer shutdown. Republicans have coalesced around

618
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: this messaging, and the longer it drags on, because you

619
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 3: got the Trump administration who has cobbled together pay for

620
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 3: service members for moms who are needing government resources.

621
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: So what did Democrats do with.

622
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: The messaging as this on when they've got constituents coming

623
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: to them saying, hey, you guys aren't taking care of us.

624
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 7: They're going to get hurt by this, and it's going

625
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 7: to take a while for their progressive base to understand

626
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 7: what's at stake here and how this is operating. Because

627
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 7: of the fact and history that Republicans have been leading

628
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 7: these efforts, I think a lot of people are not

629
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 7: awake to the fact that this time the Democrats are

630
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 7: leading the efforts shut the government down. And when their

631
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 7: base recognizes that the government that they love and they

632
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 7: want to expand, the progressive base wants to see more

633
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 7: and more government. That when those people are not only

634
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 7: being furloughed, those government workers, those bureaucrats, but they're also

635
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 7: being fired by the Trump administration, I think the Democrats

636
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 7: the heat is going to continue to build on the Democrats.

637
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 7: The other thing for both of you, John and amandas

638
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 7: this is nonsense, a one and a half trillion dollar

639
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 7: demand from Chuck Schumer on the other side, saying we

640
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 7: should just go in a back room. Speaker Johnson just

641
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 7: talked to the Congressional Caucus yesterday and said, that's what

642
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 7: Chuck Schumer wants is he wants us in a smoke

643
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 7: filled back room with Chuck Schumer, Speaker Johnson, Leader Thun

644
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 7: and Hakeem Jeffries to hammer this out one and a

645
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 7: half trillion dollars of deficit spending on something that most

646
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 7: people don't even understand what's going on as enhanced premium

647
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 7: tax credits. That is how Chuck Schumer operates in back

648
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 7: smoke filled back rooms. He wants to with four people

649
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 7: spend one and a half trillion dollars. That's what he's

650
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 7: demanding as a result of this government shutdown. He's holding

651
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 7: the people, American people hostage. I find it entirely irresponsible.

652
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: On Speaker Johnson will have none of this, Leader, none

653
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: of this, President Trump, none of this. And I think

654
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 7: we should hold firm. We've passed a resolution to fund

655
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 7: the government, and Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer should be

656
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 7: held to task for this Schumer shutdown.

657
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: So I want to ask about those enhanced Obamacare benefits,

658
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: which I think a twofold message. One is it shows

659
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: that Obamacare never was going to lower premiums unless there

660
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: was a massive subsidy. And two, isn't it the insurers

661
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: who get the money? Isn't the art Democrats holding out

662
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: to help big insurance companies on.

663
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 7: This right on, John, Actually, I've been approached by hospitals

664
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 7: and insurance companies for eight months. They've been talking to

665
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 7: me about this. And by the way, the idea of

666
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 7: doubling your premiums this is what Obamacare does. By the way,

667
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 7: without government subsidies. All of a sudden, come January first,

668
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 7: everybody's premiums are twenty six million Americans. Premiums are going

669
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 7: to be doubled. That's a big deal, and we can

670
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 7: have those conversations. But this is actually the Democrats put

671
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: this enhanced Premium tax credit plan, this boondogg will spending

672
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 7: a bunch of money back four years ago, five years ago.

673
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 7: They put it in during the COVID era, and the

674
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 7: Democrats set it to expire. So this expiration and this

675
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 7: crisis that they're complaining to us about, the Democrats created

676
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 7: this five years ago. And I am happy in the

677
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 7: proper setting in committees when we have budget hearings to

678
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 7: discuss these policy issues. But holding the American people hostage

679
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 7: and keeping government shut down so our air traffic controllers

680
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 7: and air traffic it can go on a safe fashion,

681
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 7: totally inappropriate. So let's get the garment open and then

682
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 7: have those conversations that we need to have about this,

683
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 7: this enhanced premium tax credit debate. But this is a

684
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 7: Democrat creation, and for them to blame it on us

685
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 7: is entirely it's a it's a myth, it's a fiction,

686
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 7: and I'm not going to stand for it.

687
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: Congressman.

688
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: Something else as big as a news cycle that affects

689
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: your state, states like Utah that have critical resources under

690
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: the earth. You've got Aina who is now basically placing

691
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: these very stringent limits on exports on critical minerals. Now,

692
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: it obviously is an issue, but it has highlighted something

693
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: that's even more important, which is that.

694
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: States like Utah. You guys have resources as well.

695
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: Are Republicans on Capitol Hill working with the Trump administry

696
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: and to not only find a short term way to

697
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: fill in the gap in the meantime before we can

698
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: get things worked out with China, but also to extend

699
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: that to a longer and more durable situation where we

700
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: are getting these critical minerals from our own on earth,

701
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: from states like Utah.

702
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 7: Self sufficiency is fundamental to the American people, and it's

703
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 7: certainly fundamental to Utah. And it is nonsense for us

704
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 7: to offshore critical earth minerals, these rare earth minerals, offshore

705
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 7: them to China, our international adversary. And so absolutely, Trump

706
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 7: Administration's working vigorously to enhance permitting capacity and open up

707
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 7: our vast federal lands, including Utah. In Utah, I'll just

708
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 7: tell you right now, way Mason Mill, we are processing

709
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 7: rare earth minerals, and we've got a great group of

710
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 7: people in San Juan County, rural Utah, rural America that

711
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 7: they these outstanding individuals are taking our raw elements and

712
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 7: processing these rare earth minerals so that we can make

713
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 7: the vital magnets, the batteries that are essential not only

714
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 7: for defense, but also for our technological innovations here in America.

715
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 7: We're we stand ready and able to do this. President

716
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 7: Trump's empowering that through permeating reform. I know Doug Bergham

717
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 7: on the interior side, he's working vigorously on the as well.

718
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 7: But after the Buien administration locked us up for four years,

719
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 7: it's been really difficult with NIPA in the environmental process

720
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 7: for us to even move into this stuff. So, just

721
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 7: like anything, it's going to take a while for us

722
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 7: to get ramped up. But we need to do this

723
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 7: for our own security and self sufficiency. And I'm entirely

724
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 7: supportive of President Trump and doing that.

725
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: Wow. Well, last question before I let you go.

726
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of focus about what vulnerability we

727
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: have for our phone records. I think a lot of

728
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: people never thought it would be the government or the

729
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: Congress that was rifling through Americans private phone records.

730
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: But a few weeks ago we.

731
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: Learned eight Senators and one House member had their FBI

732
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: records gone through by the FBI. Today we learned that

733
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: Adam Kinzinger, former member of the House, went to the

734
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: FBI in December twenty three, eighty three to offer them

735
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: thirty million lines of Americans phone data. Is that the

736
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: J six Committee basically collect data that basically mapped who

737
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: was calling the Trump White House from all over the country.

738
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: Does Congress need to have some restraints maybe put on

739
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: what it can access every day Americans phone records.

740
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 7: Absolutely, nobody should be subject to these kind of civil

741
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 7: rights violations. And as I mentioned, the Democrats are going

742
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 7: to show up on Saturday for some protests and telling

743
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 7: us how terrible America is. I hope they talk about

744
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 7: what they've been doing to actually see these Americans property

745
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 7: and values and records, in this case, phone records, and

746
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 7: use it against these people. While they complain about ICE

747
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 7: trying to arrest illegal aliens and also gang members in

748
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 7: our country, they should also complain about the fact that

749
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 7: thirty million phone lines were tapped and efforts to influence

750
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 7: elections were used. And absolutely, I'm entirely supportive of those

751
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 7: kind of constraints, which actually are constitutional. Unreasonable search and

752
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 7: seizure constitution already protects us from that, but sadly some

753
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 7: Congressmen don't understand it. And I'm entirely supportive also of

754
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 7: statutory protections that enhance our protections in modern society.

755
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, good ideas, ideas like that that fortify the trust

756
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: of the American people, which has been unfortunately sorely Corroda

757
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: and you talk, Congress, and Mike Kennedy, thank you so

758
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: much for being with us.

759
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: So Nic great to be with you.

760
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we'll get you back on soon.

761
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: All right, everybody, We're going to take a quick commercial

762
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: break and then we'll be right back.

763
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, I've got an important message for you about

00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody.

783
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I think we are racking up three different locations

784
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 3: for the TV show tonight. First at the White House

785
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 3: at EEO B with the FBI director, the last segment

786
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 3: back at our regular studio, and now magically I'm here at.

787
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 4: The White House.

788
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for being with us tonight, and

789
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: I am excited to bring in our guests tonight. He

790
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 3: serves as AMAC Actions Senior Vice President Andy Manngioni Manngioni, Andy,

791
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: thanks so much for being with us. My pleasure, Amanda, Andy,

792
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 3: I want to talk to you about election integrity in

793
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: this Meyers Report. Election integrity is obviously something that was

794
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 3: at the forefront of a lot of Americans minds leading

795
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: into the November election. And I think that a lot

796
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 3: of folks thought that since President Trump won and he

797
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: won the popular vote, that things were all good. Everything's

798
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: copasetic and hunky dory. But tell us about this Myers

799
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 3: Report that ranked the world's democracies when it comes to elections.

800
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 8: Well, the Myers Report, Amanda, is an ongoing discussion group.

801
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 9: It's a think tank, it was founded in nineteen eighty five.

802
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 8: It's a forum comprised of thought leaders for many different

803
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 8: professions and diverse political affiliations, and in August, they released

804
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 8: a study that evaluated seventeen areas of voting system risk

805
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 8: and concluded that the United States has the worst voting

806
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 8: system of the demarc I'm sorry the democracy's studied. The

807
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 8: US actually scored lower than nations such as Mexico, Kenya, Italy,

808
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 8: and Rwanda. The report cited widespread vulnerabilities related to mail

809
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 8: and voting, ballot harvesting, and electronic voting machines without auditable

810
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 8: paper trails. Among the report's most alarming conclude US Amanda,

811
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 8: is that ninety four percent of countries studied do not

812
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 8: allow unrestricted mail in voting, compared to the United States,

813
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 8: where it is now common practice in many states. The

814
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 8: study also highlights that fifty five percent of US states

815
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 8: allow ballot harvesting, a practice band in every other country studied. Additionally,

816
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 8: ninety two percent of other democracies in the study required

817
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 8: a photo ID for voting, while twenty nine percent of

818
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 8: states in the US do not require.

819
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 9: Any idea to vote. But Amanda, it's not all bad. News.

820
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 9: The study sided the top performing US.

821
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 8: States included Mississippi, Arkansas, and Kentucky, all of which are

822
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 8: in scores above seventy five out of one hundred.

823
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 9: And we believe that this study validates the ongoing.

824
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 8: Efforts by iMac action to continue our fight for election

825
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 8: integrity by supporting measures like voter ID and US citizen

826
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 8: only voting, and working to get rid of rank choice voting,

827
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 8: ballot trafficking, same day voter registration, and other bad processes

828
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 8: that threaten the security of our elections.

829
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is really good news.

830
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 3: And I think that a lot of people hear about

831
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: these vulnerabilities and the first thing they would think is, Okay, well,

832
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: let's just fix them.

833
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: But we all know that there.

834
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: Are a lot of Democrats, primarily in this country, who

835
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: are pushing back against practically every voter, every election integrity

836
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 3: measure that Republicans try to pass. When you look at

837
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: these other democracies across the world who ranked poorly like

838
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: we do, did they have the same issue that they

839
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: were facing with regards to actually fixing.

840
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 8: It, Well, they don't have a Democratic party in those

841
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 8: but there was pushback. There was a pushback on specific

842
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 8: election integrity measures that mirrored what we have here. So

843
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 8: in a way, they are facing the same types of

844
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 8: uphill battles that we are with regard to simple election

845
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 8: integrity measures like voter.

846
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 9: ID for example.

847
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and I suppose what I'm asking is, you know,

848
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 3: I think the perception, the conventional perception here is that

849
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 3: the reason that folks are pushing back against election integrity

850
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: measures is because they want there to be vulnerability so

851
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: that they can manipulate the system.

852
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 4: Is that what you observe in other countries as well.

853
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely, if you cast doubt into the system, it

854
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 8: can be manipulated.

855
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 9: And it's the same thing elsewhere in the world.

856
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, incredible.

857
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 3: So all right, you've got the Republican Party who seems

858
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: to buy and large want to fix that. You've got

859
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 3: a lot of different pieces of legislation up on Capitol Hill.

860
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 3: Are there any specific pieces of legislation that you think

861
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 3: are the quick fix? I mean, I know there's not

862
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: a quick fix, but something that could really put the

863
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 3: nail in the coffin of integrity issues.

864
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you, Amanda, this fight for election integrity

865
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 8: is being fought on two levels, in the states and

866
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 8: in the federal government. The federal government can't control federal elections.

867
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 8: Every other election takes place and is managed by the states.

868
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 8: So and all states are different with regard to how

869
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 8: their legislators run.

870
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 9: But let's take a look at the federal issue.

871
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 8: For example, the SAVE Act, the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act,

872
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 8: who was reintroduced to this Congress. What this would require

873
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 8: is proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. That

874
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 8: sounds familiar. We sound like a broken record here, but

875
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 8: it's an important piece of legislation. You know, between last

876
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 8: Congress and this Congress, AMAC members have sent over thirty

877
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 8: thousand messages to the representatives in Washington, d C. To

878
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 8: get the SAVE Act passed. We did it last Congress

879
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 8: and this Congress. Now it heads to the Senate in

880
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 8: this Congress, and you can bet we'll be keeping an

881
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 8: eye on it to shepherd it through the Senate when

882
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 8: they take it up when the government reopens.

883
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 9: Et cetera, et cetera.

884
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely so, Andy, you know, we're talking a lot about

885
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 3: the infrastructure that can be created to fortify elections, but

886
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: there's another aspect of this that can also fortify it.

887
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: And it's not with machines. It's not with paper, it's

888
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 3: not with legislation, it's with human eye. I know that

889
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: AMAC is doing a really great job of focusing on

890
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: poll washers and having folks there present on the ground too.

891
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: At least you know there's an optics to having people

892
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 3: there watching what you are doing that can possibly deter

893
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: any type of shenanigans. But tell us about amac's effort

894
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 3: to get this done well.

895
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 9: Our members are very, very engaged on this level.

896
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 8: We've got a gubernatorial election forthcoming in Virginia.

897
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 9: It's pretty high profile. I'm sure you're familiar with it,

898
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 9: and there's.

899
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 8: A critical need for people to work the polls in Virginia.

900
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 8: Let's go back to twenty twenty one, Amanda, when hundreds

901
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 8: of AMAC members serve the commonwealth by working the election

902
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 8: that resulted in Glenn Youngin being elected governor. There are

903
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 8: many many conservative eyes on the process, and we were

904
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 8: told that because of that scrutiny, the voting experience was

905
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 8: relatively smooth. We recently launched a recruiting drive to ask

906
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 8: AMAC members to answer the call again and service poll

907
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 8: workers and officers of election in Virginia. The race there

908
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 8: is got ring much attention to Virginia needs to ensure

909
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 8: that the process is uncorrupted. And you mentioned how our

910
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 8: members have answered. They called before our members come in

911
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 8: and they work the polls. Over twenty five hundred of

912
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 8: them work the polls in the twenty twenty four elections.

913
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 8: And we're counting on this same engagement again in Virginia

914
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 8: for this year. It's not hard asking AMAC members to

915
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 8: do this. They have responded in great numbers. They make

916
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 8: us look good, but all the credit goes to them.

917
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 8: These are long days. I've worked elections myself, so have

918
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 8: my colleagues at AMAC Action.

919
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 9: Thirteen fourteen hour days.

920
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 8: It's well worth the effort and it's well worth the

921
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 8: scrutiny to ensure that our elections are secure.

922
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Andy, I can attest to that because every

923
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: time I have done an AMAC event with John, it

924
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: is packed to the gills and people who are they

925
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: are patriots and they are ready to get involved and

926
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: to take action to fix the problems in our country.

927
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 3: Before I let you go, you mentioned some of the

928
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 3: states that rank high for election integrity. What were some

929
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: of the worst ones.

930
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 8: Well, no surprise here, New York, California, Vermont, no big surprise.

931
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 9: You could guess that, but you'd be right.

932
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, no surprise at all, Andy MANGIONI thanks so much

933
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 3: for being with us tonight.

934
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 9: My pleasure, Manda, thank you.

935
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

936
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: All Right, everybody, If you want to get in on

937
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 3: the AMAC membership, John always talks about it. He loves

938
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: his relationship with AMAC. You want to go to that

939
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 3: website there on the screen. We're going to take a

940
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: very quick commercial break, and I think that John has

941
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 3: made it back to our regular STUDI, so we're going

942
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 3: to try to.

943
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 4: Meet on the other side.

944
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: Hey, folks.

945
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: As an investigative journalist, I spent my career digging into

946
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: the facts, cutting through noise, asking hard questions and getting

947
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: to the truth.

948
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,200

949
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: Audience, I hold everyone to the same standard. That's why

950
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: I want to tell you I've done the homework, and AMAC,

951
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: the Association of Mature American Citizens, is the real deal.

953
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,520

Speaker 10: adventuring camaraderie. Kids come together for experiences that challenge and

969
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 10: inspire them. Between canoe races, camp buyers, and heartfelt conversations,

970
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 10: they form deep friendships and uncover new layers of their

971
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,880

Speaker 4: If you need a hand with packing, where.

977
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 6: Here to help?

978
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,160

Speaker 10: Camp Rock.

985
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:44,520

1000
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody, As promised John Solomon at the studio.

1001
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 3: Me here at the White House. We are meeting up

1002
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 3: to hit a bunch of topics before we head out

1003
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 3: for the evening. John, we feel like we've traveled all

1004
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: over the city, at the White House, at our studio,

1005
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 3: at EEO B an amazing interview with Cash Bettel. But

1006
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: I want to bring something to your attention that I

1007
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 3: know is probably near and dear to your heart because

1008
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 3: of your life journalist's career. Clarence Thomas was confirmed thirty

1009
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 3: four years ago today fifty two to forty eight, and

1010
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: what an impact, how consequential has he been to the judiciary.

1011
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 2: One of the very first stories I covered.

1012
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: I came here the week the Clarence Thomas hearings came,

1013
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: and it was an early effort at that liberal cancer

1014
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: culture to take an allegation that could not be fully verified.

1015
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: That's why the Senators ultimately confirmed him, but to try

1016
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: to play into a stereotype and cancel the man because

1017
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: he had such potential, powerful intellect, just like Charlie's powerful

1018
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: intellect has been canceled, and so it was.

1019
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: An extraordinary moment.

1020
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: Ironically, Joe Biden is the guy that actually foils the

1021
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: Democrats plan, and Clarence Thomas ultimately gets selected to the bench,

1022
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: and when he does, he blazes a path of really

1023
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: historic rulings, and history will look back at Clarence Thomas

1024
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: as one of the most consequential justices of the late

1025
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: twentieth and early twenty first century. And I think I

1026
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun memories of just being in

1027
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: the AP newsroom during those first few weeks and kept thinking, Wow,

1028
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: this is what Washington is going to be like, because

1029
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: I just moved here from Milwaukee. I can't wait to

1030
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: be here, and I stayed thirty four years.

1031
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 3: Oh the drama that John Solomon has seen since then. Yeah,

1032
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 3: you know, obviously what they did to justice Clarence Thomas

1033
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 3: was abominable, the accusations that were thrown at him, But

1034
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 3: I would say that they were probably right in their

1035
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 3: estimation and their calculation that he was going to be very,

1036
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: very influential among that body. So John, I want to

1037
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 3: ask you, because I haven't had a chance to ask

1038
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: you about this today. There was kind of an exodus

1039
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 3: from Pentagon press folks who are opposed to some of

1040
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: the rules that Pete Hegseth, the Secretary Henseth, laid out,

1041
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 3: and for our audience, those rules were actually pretty basic.

1042
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 4: You can no longer roam the halls of the Pentagon.

1043
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 3: You have to wear your badge at all times, and

1044
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 3: you can't solicit criminal acts from employees.

1045
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 4: There at the Pentagon, John, is there more to it?

1046
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 4: Or are these folks who are leaving in mass Is

1047
00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 4: it justified?

1048
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting.

1049
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of conservative groups that are joining in this,

1050
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: like the Daily Caller and news Max that believe I

1051
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: don't know if foxes, but it's possible Fox will be Listen.

1052
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: What the policy states is the dirty truth. There are

1053
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: these laws on these book, and journalists have not wanted

1054
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: to address that issue, that there are these laws on

1055
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: this book that create legal liability.

1056
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: If you ask a.

1057
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: Pentagon official to give you something they're not allowed to

1058
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: give you, it becomes criminalized. And so all XTH has

1059
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: done is right a memo telling the journalists what they've

1060
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: tried to ignore for two and three decades, which is,

1061
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, there are laws and the people who leaked

1062
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: to you may get prosecuted, and if you personally solicited

1063
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: you may get prosecuted. Now, when I came to Washington

1064
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one and I got my first ethics

1065
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: briefing from the Associated Press, they raised these very laws

1066
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: of me.

1067
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 2: I was going to be an investigative reporter.

1068
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: They knew that, and they wanted, hey, you should know

1069
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: you can receive information, but if you ask someone to

1070
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: leak your classified secret, it could be illegal. And a

1071
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: military person who has a different requirement than a civilian worker,

1072
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: they could get in some serious trouble. So think carefully

1073
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,959
Speaker 1: about when you're going to give anonymity to someone, because

1074
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: they might put you in prison. Think carefully about these consequences.

1075
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: So nothing in this memo surprises me because my briefing

1076
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: thirty four years ago this month when I came to

1077
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: the Associated Press, included a lot of these issues. Ironically,

1078
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: one of the lawyers I work with at the AP,

1079
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: Dave Schultz, is the lawyer now representing the Press Association.

1080
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: There's nothing that surprises me and the rules. Nothing that

1081
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: surprises me and the reaction of the news media. But

1082
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 1: here's the dirty secret. There was no objection to most

1083
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: of the things in this thing. The only objection we

1084
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: see in a letter we got last night. They don't

1085
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: want to acknowledge that the media does not want to

1086
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: acknowledge they understand the rules. I think that's pretty lame.

1087
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Find some other reasons to say I object to this

1088
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: or that, but the actual letter says the only thing

1089
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: we're objecting to is saying we understand. You're supposed to

1090
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: understand as a journalist. If you want to make a point,

1091
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: say what in the as you're objecting to, But don't
