WEBVTT - Epstein Docs: Bill Clinton "Likes Them Young" and Media Ignores! Plus Mayorkas Impeachment Finally

0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome.

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 2>It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator,

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 2>We've got a lot to chat about, obviously, with what's

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 2>going on at the border and specifically something that you

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>have been calling for, and that is the impeachment of

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 2>my Orcus that now looks like it could become a

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 2>big reality on the House side.

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>We're going to deal with that.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 2>But before we deal with that, I do want to

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 2>get your initial reaction because this has been such a

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>big story with the list and the names and the

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Epstein documents. A lot of it has come out. We're

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 2>still waiting for more things to come out. The media

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 2>has played this as oh, nothing to see here, Yes,

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Bill Clinton's name was in there, Yes, Donald Trump's name

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>was in there, and acting like it's just a bunch

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>of names. Give me your initial reaction to what you

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>so far have seen and what you've heard and.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>What you think.

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm glad it's finally coming out. It's taken too

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 3>damn long. All of this needs to be public. At

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 3>this point, we've had roughly forty documents released by the

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>Federal District Court. There are around two hundred and fifty

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 3>documents in total the district Court has that the court

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 3>is indicated they're going to release, so there'll be more

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>information that comes out. But look, what is of real

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>public interest is is who participated with Jeffrey Epstein in

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 3>sex crimes and an abusing young girls, underage girls, and

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>if they participated, if they're guilty of those crimes, they

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 3>should be prosecuted. We should have the client list, We

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 3>should have the list of the people who went to

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 3>his island where he committed these crimes, and committed these

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>crimes according to the testimony over an extended period of time.

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 3>And the media has expressed an amazing lack of curiosity

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 3>on this, and I think the reason is that Jeffrey

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Epstein piled around with Democrats. One of the interesting things

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 3>in the document, so you know, the media desperately wants

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>to blame Epstein on Trump, but there's one passing reference

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 3>to Trump in the documents that essentially, when Epstein's playing

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 3>lands in Atlantic City, says, oh, we should call Trump.

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 3>And so that's the lone reference you want to talk about.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 3>The most damning thing. The most damning thing is the

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 3>quote from a twenty sixteen deposition about Bill Clinton where

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>the quote was quote he said one time that Clinton

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 3>likes them young, referring to girls. Now, I gotta say, Ben,

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 3>can you imagine if the document said the exact same thing,

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 3>but if it just replaced the word Clinton with Trump.

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>If there were a document here that said Trump likes

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 3>some young the media would go nuts. The New York

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Times would have a banner headline in forty two point

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 3>fought Trump likes him young. But of course it didn't

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 3>say that. It said Bill Clinton likes young girls. And

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 3>suddenly it's crickets the media. What no, nothing to see here,

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.119
<v Speaker 3>nothing at all.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It was interesting that you mentioned that because I was

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>talking with my producer in our producer this show, Diaz.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>This morning we went to see an in dot com

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>live on My morning show, and some of the headlines

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>that they had above the article that even dealt with

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Epstein included TJ Fridays, the restaurant abruptly closes thirty six.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Restaurant see the whole list.

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Another one, two straight Dogs caused more than three hundred

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>and fifty in damage at a car dealership. World's most

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>punctual airport is in the US. Kelly Clarkson says, walking

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 2>in her new home of New York City helped her

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>lose weight.

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>These were the stories.

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>That they had above and countless others before you actually

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>got to the Epstein story that also mentioned Bill Clinton

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>likes them young, referring.

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>To young girls. That is your media for you in

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>America right now.

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 3>And also the document show that Bill Clinton flew repeatedly

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 3>on the plane. We don't know how many times. And

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 3>we also know, and this is something we've discussed at

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.359
<v Speaker 3>length on Verdict before, we know that Dick Durbin and

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Senate Democrats are going to extraordinary lengths to prevent a

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 3>subpoena from issuing to get the flight logs of Epstein's planes.

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>So the Senate Democrats don't want the public to know

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 3>who was on that airplane. And that when you put

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 3>it in that context, suddenly the media's utter lack of

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>interest in this makes a whole lot more sense, because

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 3>the media wants to protect the Democrats, and the Democrats

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 3>desperately don't want people to know. Look, as we've talked about,

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Jeffrey Epstein had a painting of Bill Clinton in a

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>blue dress with red pumps hanging in his house in

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 3>New York. It's bizarre, but but that's that's what he

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>put on the wall, and the media doesn't want you

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 3>to know it well.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 2>And there was also another story that came out that

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>said that there apparently were emails that were going around

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>that we're talking about, apparently Bill Clinton going into Vanity

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Fair and threatening them not to write the sex trafficking

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 2>articles about his good friend Jeffrey Epstein. According to an

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 2>email from Virginia Giffra and Centner, if you had that

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>same shocking emails come out tonight and it was Donald

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Trump walked into Vandy Fair and threatened them not to

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>write a sex trafficking article about his good friend, quote

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>unquote Jeffrey Epstein, and you had this in emails, this

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>would also be wall to wall coverage. Yet tonight, as

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>you and I are taping this, still crickets on that

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 2>story of the influence that Bill Quinton had over that

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>story at Vandy Fair.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Look, it's a complete obvious double standard and the corporate

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 3>media is thorough corrupt. They are part of the Democrat Party,

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 3>they share the same left wing agenda, and they behave

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 3>in unison to protect each other.

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Last question on this I want to ask you, and

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that is I still am angered by the aspect that

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>there's really been virtually no justice here. There has been, Yes,

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Maxwell who's in prison. Yes, Jeffrey Epstein was in prison.

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>But if you go back to his first conviction, that

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>was a slap on the wrist down in Florida, I

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.239
<v Speaker 2>think it was back in sixteen. One of the things

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>you notice here is the federal government has not gone

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>after any of those that were involved in this, this

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 2>horrific abuse of young girls, underage girls, but they did

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 2>seem to go out of their way to actually protect

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>the mighty, the powerful in this country from prosecution or

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 2>even investigations.

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 1>How concerning is that to you?

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Look, I think it's deeply concerning in it anyone involved

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 3>in the trafficking or sexual abuse of underage girls should

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 3>be prosecuted. And and you're right, there's a complete lack

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 3>of interest on the part of the Department of Justice

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>to go after the clients, to go after the other

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 3>people that were.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Involved in this.

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 3>There's a complete lack of interest in the media on

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 3>reporting on it. They are protecting the powerful. And I'll

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 3>tell you another component of this. I don't know if

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 3>you saw the story that broke last week that there

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 3>was reporting that the arrests that were made of two

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 3>brothels that were in Boston and outside of Washington, d C.

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 3>In Virginia, that it appears there's evidence that they were

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>in fact honeypot schemes potentially funded by a foreign government

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 3>that included prominent politicians who were clients of these houses

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 3>of prostitution and then that was used to blackmail them.

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 3>And this is a story that suggests that this was

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 3>being funded by a foreign government, and it's not clear who,

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 3>whether China or Iran, or.

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Who it was.

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 3>But it also raises the question with Jeffrey Epstein about

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 3>with powerful people and politicians, people like Bill Clinton, what

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 3>influence did Jeffrey Epstein have over them? And was any

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 3>of this material used for blackmail? And given the story

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 3>that just broke, I think it puts an additional urgency

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 3>on answering that question.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, quickly, let me just say this.

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>We're in a new year and you probably have a

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>new Year's resolution, and if you are a guy, I've

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>got a resolution for you that you're going to love.

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 2>That is getting rid of your weakness and complacency by

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>boosting your testop from levels up to twenty percent over

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 2>ninety days now. Look, there is a massive problem with

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 2>low t historically. Right now is off a cliff, not

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>just in this country, but all over the world. It

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>is in an all time low. Thankfully, the Patriot to

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Chalk are helping real American men just like you, take

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>back your right to proudly maximize your masculinity by boosting.

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 2>As I said a moment ago, your testosterone levels up

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.520

<v Speaker 2>I want to move also to the big story and

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>it deals with the border. You have been calling now

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>for quite some time, the impeachment of my Orcis, and

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>there now seems to be a real momentum behind this.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>There have been many talking heads. As I was flying

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 2>back from York today, this time it came up on

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Fox about you know, it's about time that they move

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 2>to in p my Orcis. But there's a lot of

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 2>people that don't think understand the reasons behind it. There

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>are some that are talking about it more of a

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.679
<v Speaker 2>like political vengeance, like, well, he deserves to be impeached

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>because he doesn't do his job. And I think what

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 2>we need to do is go back and lay out

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 2>for the listeners of Verdict the actual reasons why My

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Orcis you believe should be impeached and it's based on

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:32.719
<v Speaker 2>actual things within his job, not political vengeance. Because there

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>have been some that have just been acting like this

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>should be political vengeance. That's not how what this should

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>be about. You should never impeach people for political vengeance.

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>It should be because of dereliction of their duty and

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.479
<v Speaker 2>their job. So let's go through why you believe personally

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 2>that my Orcists should be impeached for not doing his job.

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's be clear what the constitutional standard for impeachment is.

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 3>The Constitution lays out that impeachment lies for bribery, treason,

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 3>or other high crimes and misdemeanors. So you know, in

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 3>your question you said that Mayorcis should be impeached for

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 3>dereliction of duty. Actually, dereliction of duty alone is not

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 3>enough for impeachment. And there was a debate among the

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Framers when they were writing the Constitution, and in fact,

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 3>one of the earlier drafts of the Constitution, it was

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 3>suggested that impeachment lie for maladministration, and the Framers decided

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>against that. They didn't want a process simply to remove

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 3>someone for maladministration. They wanted it to be a higher

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 3>standard of high crimes and misdemeanors. But in this instance,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 3>what mayorcus has done is far greater than negligence, far

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 3>greater than malad administration. It's not just that Alexandro Majorcis

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.239
<v Speaker 3>is bad at his job. It's not just that he's ineffective.

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 3>It's that he's openly, brazenly, deliberately defying the law, ignoring

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 3>the law, flouting the law. He is facilitating, He is

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 3>aiding and abetting an invasion of this country. What is

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:21.439
<v Speaker 3>happening at our southern border is such a disaster that

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 3>you know you asked why why should may Orcist be impeached?

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 3>The simple reason is the strategy of Joe Biden and

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 3>the Democrats on the border is very simple. They want

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 3>to ignore it, and they know that the corporate media

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 3>will be complicit in ignoring it. This is one of

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 3>the many instances where the corruption and politicization of the media,

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 3>the destruction of journalism, it ends up producing the extremism.

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 3>With elected Democrats, their strategy is simply ignore it and

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 3>cover it up. And so the most important value of

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 3>impeachment of Mayorcis is to put the facts of the

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 3>utter disaster that is happening at the border before the

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 3>American people. So let me give you some of the facts.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 3>In all of fiscal year twenty twenty three, the Biden

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 3>administration deported one hundred and forty two thousand, five hundred

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 3>and eighty people. One hundred and forty two thousand, more

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 3>than twice that number came across our border just last

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 3>month in December. So that's one hundred and forty two

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 3>thousand out of roughly three million. You look at the

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 3>month of December that we just finished, three hundred and

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 3>two thousand illegal alien encounters, the highest single month ever recorded,

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 3>first time it's ever been over three hundred thousand. There

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 3>have now been since October firs more than seven hundred

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 3>and eighty five thousand migrant encounters at the southern border.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Seven hundred and eighty five thousand since October first. That

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 3>is the highest first quarter of the year. The way

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 3>the fiscal of the federal government fiscal year measures the

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 3>first quarter is from October one to December thirty first,

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 3>that's the highest first quarter ever recorded. Seven hundred and

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 3>eighty five thousand people is larger than the city of Seattle,

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 3>and that's what crossed the southern border in the last

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 3>three months. And despite all of that, what does the

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 3>White House say? Kareem John Pierre describes the situation on

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 3>the border as quote not unusual, its record shattering, horrific,

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 3>and it is producing a line of body bags of

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 3>dead illegal immigrants abandoned on Texas farms and ranches. It

0:15:53.600 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 3>is producing thousands upon thousands of children, horribly abused, brutalized women,

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 3>thousands upon thousands sexually assaulted drug overdoses. The value of

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 3>this impeachment is to overcome the media blockade and to

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 3>put the facts before the American people.

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's even more shocking is their excuses for

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 2>why this is happening. And one of them, I just

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 2>have to play it for you because I have to

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 2>get your reaction. You talk about my orcist and moving

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 2>forward this impeachment. It's long overdue. But listen to what

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>my Orcus said about what's happening at the border, and

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>more importantly, why it's happening at the border.

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Take a listen on from MSNBC.

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 4>As you know, mister Secretary Border Patrol, in the month

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 4>of December process more migrants entering the United States illegally

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 4>than any month in the history of that agency.

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Why is that happening? How do you explain it?

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 4>So we are seeing the greatest number of displaced people,

0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 4>not only at our southern border, not only in the

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 4>Western hemisphere, but across the globe. You know, I am

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 4>involved in bilateral and multilateral meetings with my counterparts from

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 4>foreign countries in Europe, in Asia and the Indo Pacific,

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 4>all over the world, and migration, the challenge of displaced

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 4>people is a subject that comes up in every single conversation.

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 4>We have the effects of climate change, poverty, increasing level

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 4>of authoritarianism, the very many challenges that are at the

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.199
<v Speaker 4>root cause of the displacement of people around the world.

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Climate change. So now that's why garbage.

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I heard it and I almost laughed, like

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>he didn't just say that?

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Did he really just say that? And he did?

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Look Ben, that just pisces me off, because that man

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 3>is utterly full of shot. He is just lying. He's

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 3>brazenly lying climate change. You know what, Joe Biden and

0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 3>Alejandro mayorcus inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 3>forty five years. It changed literally the month Joe Biden

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 3>became president. Now, even under their idiotic ideology, did climate

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 3>change suddenly occur once Biden was president, and I guess

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 3>there was no climate change when Trump was president. What

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 3>he's saying it is such a brazen lie. It demonstrates

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.239
<v Speaker 3>why he should be impeached. He's not trying to do

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 3>his job. He's defying the law. So i'll give it.

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Give it an example. Fiscal year twenty twenty three, one

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:48.160
<v Speaker 3>hundred and thirty seven, two hundred and seventy five unaccompanied miners,

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 3>little boys, little girls arrived at the Southern borderered and

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 3>thirty seven, two hundred and seventy five. How many do

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 3>you think ice removed in that year?

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, no clue because the numbers are so insane.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Out of one hundred and thirty seven, two hundred and

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 3>seventy five, ice removed two hundred and twelve. Wow, so

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and thirty seven thousand plus remained. And by

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the way, and look, you and I talked about this

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 3>on the podcast when I was last down at the

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.199
<v Speaker 3>border a couple of months ago, where we encountered a

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 3>group with a lot of young children. A very significant

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.359
<v Speaker 3>percentage of those children are physically assaulted, they are sexually assaulted,

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 3>and they are being trafficked and put into sex, slavery,

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 3>and so I get angry when I hear May Yorkis

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 3>say that because he's saying he does not care about

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 3>those children being raped. And the reason he's saying that

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 3>is because if he cared, he would do something to

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 3>stop it. And he not only won't do something to

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 3>stop it. Everything he he's doing is trying to increase

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 3>the illegal immigration. His focus is on processing illegal immigrants

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 3>faster and getting them on planes and on buses to

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.160
<v Speaker 3>every city in America. And so he is deliberately causing,

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 3>causing this problem and making it worse day after day

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:25.120
<v Speaker 3>after day.

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, Speaker Johnson took a delegation of congressmen down

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to the border and with an eagle pass a place

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the president won't go, a place that you know, the

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 2>White House, President tery won't go to the place the

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Vice President Kamala Harris won't go. Democrats won't go to

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 2>where the actual crisis is. And I was on Outnumbered

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and they were showing the video of illegal immigrants from

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>different countries yelling out and their native languages help to

0:20:56.160 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the congressmen saying, we're trying to get through the wire.

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I want you to hear this. It was amazing.

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 5>The JP delegation went down to speak to border patrol

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 5>about the unfolding crisis, only for it to unfold around them. Look,

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 5>you can't make this up. You can see migrants entering

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:16.679
<v Speaker 5>our country illegally. This is just feet from where speaker

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 5>Johnson was as he spoke with reporters, and as he

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 5>spoke with them, there were illegal immigrants yelling aouda, which

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 5>means help in Spanish. And take a look there at

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 5>the barbed wire, bauda. So that's razor wire stopping the

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.680
<v Speaker 5>migrants from entering our country. But it doesn't keep Kreine

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 5>Jean Pierre from saying this at the White House podium yesterday.

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 6>Government abbotts. Razor wire does not prevent. It does not

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 6>prevent non citizens from unlawfully crossing. That's not what it does.

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 6>If anything, it puts at risk. It puts the lives

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 6>of the border patrol at risk.

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:04.600
<v Speaker 5>Except we just saw that it did prevent. She also

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.440
<v Speaker 5>previously said walls don't work, and she had a rather

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 5>interesting reason why.

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 6>Instead of providing the needed resources for more border security

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 6>technology and as silent officers and judges, it would waste

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 6>taxpayer dollars on an ineffective wall again, an ineffective wall

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.360
<v Speaker 6>that can't even withstand heavy winds.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's right.

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you hear the White House is Talking Points Center,

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 2>and then you go down there and you see this,

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and the media did criticize Johnson, and the White House

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 2>criticized Johnsday say they should be in Washington doing their

0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 2>job and passing a budget and spending They shouldn't be

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>doing a photo op and a publicity stunt the border.

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not a publicity stunt.

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 2>If you don't go to the border and you don't

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 2>see it with your own eyes, you don't understand how

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 2>bad it is. When you have a delegation of congressmen

0:22:57.840 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and women and the Speaker of the House and a

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 2>bunch media, and these people are yelling, help help venezuela, venezuela,

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>help help you understand that the border is in fact

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 2>wide open, and no one that's coming across the southern

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 2>border thinks they shouldn't be doing it or shouldn't be

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:15.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to turn themselves into Americans.

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Look what Karine Jean Pierre says, she doesn't give a

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 3>damn about border patrol agents, and in fact, she and

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden regularly demonize border patrol agents. I spend a

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.639
<v Speaker 3>lot of time with border patrol agents. I go down there,

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I go out on midnight patrol with them. I joined

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.719
<v Speaker 3>them for their midnight muster. These men and women, they

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 3>are heroes. They are undermined daily by their political leadership

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 3>who makes their job impossible to do. And she claims, oh,

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, putting putting barbier or razor wire, it endangers

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 3>border patrol agents lives. You won't find a border patrol

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:58.399
<v Speaker 3>agent telling you that that that is a pure political lie.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 3>And and you know, Joe Biden was asked this week

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 3>about the border, and he again with it's gotten to

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 3>the point that where the dictionary defines chutzpa. They ought

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 3>to have a picture of Joe Biden and Kareine, John

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.199
<v Speaker 3>Pierre and Mayorcis because he said it's Republican's fault. The

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 3>crisis of the border is Republican's fault because they won't

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:25.400
<v Speaker 3>fund his request for funding at the border. Now, number one,

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 3>understand the money Joe Biden is asking for is not

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 3>to secure the border. It is to process illegal immigrations

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 3>faster and to bring in more illegal immigrants. He wants

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 3>money to make the problem worse. And if you want

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 3>to understand that, you know, I encourage you to go

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 3>back and listen you and I did, I think a

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 3>little over a year ago an interview that we did

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.160
<v Speaker 3>at the southern border where we interviewed a very good

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.199
<v Speaker 3>friend of mine, Brandon Judd, who is the head of

0:24:56.240 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 3>the National Border Patrol Union, and he sat down with

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 3>us and he talked about the cause of the problems.

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 3>And one of the very interesting things that Brandon Judd

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.640
<v Speaker 3>said is he said, to secure this border, we don't

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 3>need an additional penny. We don't need more money. What

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.919
<v Speaker 3>we need is a change in policy. And here's what

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 3>matters if you want to secure the border. The single

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 3>most important question is the following. What happens when someone

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 3>is apprehended, And it's essentially a binary choice. If the

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.919
<v Speaker 3>answer is you put them on a plane and you

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 3>fly them back to the country they came from, the

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 3>numbers plummet, and they plummet immediately. We have seen there's

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 3>an instantaneous cause and effect. On the other hand, if

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 3>the answer is that when you apprehend them, you let

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 3>them go and they get to stay in America, the

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:56.199
<v Speaker 3>numbers skyrocket When I was last down there. We had

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 3>the group of illegal immigrants that came and turned themselves

0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 3>into US wile we were on midnight patrol. It was mostly

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 3>women and children. We asked them, how many of y'all

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 3>believe that you'll get to stay in America? Every one

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:09.879
<v Speaker 3>of them, yes, yes, absolutely, we get to stay. And

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 3>they laid out all the cities that they wanted to

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 3>go to. They all knew where they wanted to go,

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 3>and as long as they believe they will stay, the

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 3>numbers keep rising. And you have to understand part of

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 3>the reason it's instantaneous. Virtually every illegal immigrant who comes

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 3>shows up carrying a plastic baggie. They typically have in

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 3>the plastic baggie they have some form of identification, a

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 3>birth certificate, a passport. They have usually a cell phone,

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 3>and they have a name and number of somebody in

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 3>the US. Unfortunately, often it is traffickers who are bringing

0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 3>them in that they're calling. When when we were talking

0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 3>to the kids, all of the young girls said they

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:56.479
<v Speaker 3>were calling their tos teo is Spanish for uncle, and

0:26:56.560 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 3>yet that they wouldn't tell us anything when we asked

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:02.360
<v Speaker 3>any questions about who these to those were. But the

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.919
<v Speaker 3>cell phone is what makes it instantaneous, because when people

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 3>get here and get released, they immediately text or call

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 3>their friends and their families back home and they say, hey,

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 3>if you come, you get to stay. If on not,

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:17.919
<v Speaker 3>the other hand, if they've gone through a horrendous journey

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 3>and they've been horribly abused, and they get here and

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 3>they get deported, they get put on a plane and

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 3>sent back right where they started again, they text their

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:30.200
<v Speaker 3>friends and families and they say, don't come. They won't

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 3>let you in. And so the reason those illegal immigrants

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 3>are calling Ayuda, calling for help is because they believe,

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.239
<v Speaker 3>and they believe quite rightly that under Joe Biden, the

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Biden administration views its job as helping illegal immigrants come

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 3>into this country and invade this country. We're now upwards

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:55.560
<v Speaker 3>of ten million illegal immigrants under Joe Biden. It is unprecedented.

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is.

0:27:56.520 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 2>And the other part I think that's also so disingenuous

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.920
<v Speaker 2>from this White House is the fact that they try

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:05.199
<v Speaker 2>to act. As you mentioned, it's about the money, but

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 2>the executive actions that the president could take instantly could

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:12.479
<v Speaker 2>change so many of the policies that are allowing for

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 2>this crisis, which was created by designed by the Biden administration,

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 2>and that wouldn't even take Congress. It's one of the

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 2>things that Donald Trump did so brilliantly when he was

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 2>in office. You could just go back to his same

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 2>policies and you could do it literally with the swipe

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 2>of a pen.

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Three decisions that Joe Biden could implement tomorrow number one,

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 3>resume building the wall, number two, and catch and release

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 3>number three, reinstate to remain in Mexico agreement. All of

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 3>those he did the opposite his first week at office.

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 3>That's what caused this border crisis. Joe Biden could solve

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 3>it at an instant. He does not want to, and

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 3>he's going to do I believe everything he can to

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 3>prevent it. It's why impeaching mayorca should have been impeached

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 3>over two years ago. I had been calling for it

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 3>for virtually the entirety of his tenure, because it has

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 3>been we have never seen a Cabinet member so utterly

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 3>defy federal law the way may Orchis has done.

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I want to move to something else that is obviously

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 2>important and significant. We've talked about it, and it's a

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 2>big win on the border to secure the enactment of

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>a streamline permitting process for new and expanded bridges across

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the Rio Grande in Brownsville, Laredo, and Eagle Pass, Texas.

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 2>It is something that you were a part of and

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>led on. It's now actually become law. You were down

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 2>on Laredo, and I want to play for people part

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 2>of what you had to say at this very very

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 2>big moment.

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 7>We're here today to celebrate bipartisan legislation that was signed

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 7>into law in December of last year that will expedite

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 7>building new bridges and expanding bridges between Texas and Mexico.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 7>We're here at the World Trade Bridge, the largest land

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 7>port in the United States. Every year, Texas and Mexico

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 7>have roughly eight hundred billion in trade and commerce that

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 7>comes across this border. That's jobs in Texas, that's jobs

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 7>in Mexico.

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 3>That's the lifeblood of South Texas.

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 2>This is obviously significant, not just from the standpoint of

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 2>security that you talked about and orderly commerce coming across

0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the border in a safer manner, but it's also a

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 2>really big deal from the fact that, as you mentioned,

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 2>it was bipartisan talk about how significant this is going

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 2>to be for this country and for Texas well.

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 3>The audio you just played was from a press conference

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 3>that I did in Laredo yesterday morning, and it was

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 3>right at the World Trade Bridge, right on the southern border.

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 3>And I did that alongside Henry Quayar, the Democrat congressman

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 3>who represents Laredo, and Henry and I worked ten in

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 3>hand in this and it was a huge victory. The

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Texas Business Association that was down there with us and

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 3>there was a large group of people celebrating this legislative

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 3>victory that we had just two weeks ago described the

0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 3>legislation that I introduced and passed as the biggest positive

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 3>step for jobs and commerce in Texas since the US

0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Mexico Canada agreement was negotiated. It is literally billions of

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 3>dollars of additional trade in commerce and tens of thousands

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 3>of jobs and real quickly what happened. So, there are

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 3>four bridge projects that have been proposed in South Texas,

0:31:56.440 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 3>two in Laredo, one in Brownsville. Want an will pass,

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and the Biden administration had put bureaucratic barriers. They were

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 3>delaying every one of these bridge projects. The World Trade

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Bridge that I was at yesterday morning that bridge right

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 3>now is eight lanes. They have proposed to expand it

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.640
<v Speaker 3>to eighteen lanes to more than double the size of it,

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 3>which enables commerce to move much more rapidly. That benefits farmers,

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:27.360
<v Speaker 3>That benefits ranchers, That benefits manufacturers, That benefits small businesses.

0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 3>That benefits consumers by lowering prices at the grocery store.

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 3>It also benefits national security by making it easier to

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 3>bring manufacturing back from China, either back to the United

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 3>States or near shoring it bringing it back to Mexico,

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 3>where we could have trade and commerce with Mexico rather

0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 3>than China. So all of those are good outcomes. And

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 3>what happened. So in order to build a bridge, ordinarily,

0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 3>you have to do what is called Federal Environmental NEPA review,

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 3>go through a process of reviewing the environmental impact of

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 3>a bridge. That's true for any bridge. If you're building

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 3>a bridge across an international border, there's an additional legal requirement.

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 3>You need a permit from the President of the United States. Now,

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 3>the way this used to be done is the President

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 3>would grant that permit contingent on the completion of the

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 3>NEPA review. And what that did is accelerated the process,

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 3>enabled it to move through quickly. When Joe Biden became president,

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 3>he announced they were reversing that policy and Biden was

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 3>going to grant zero presidential permits for cross border bridges

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 3>unless and until the NIPA environmental review was fully completed.

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 3>The effect of that was to add two, three, four

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 3>five years to these bridge projects, to delay them all.

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 3>It also made it hard for them to get funding

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 3>because the banks were reluctant to commit capital until the

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 3>presidential permit had been granted. So there was a chicken

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 3>and egg problem, and the Biden administration dug in. And

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 3>so what I did is is Number One, unified the

0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.320
<v Speaker 3>congressional delegation in South Texas. And so I brought together

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 3>a coalition of myself and John Cornon, the other Texas Senator,

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 3>along with Henry Quayar, a Democrat, Monica Delacruz, a Republican,

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 3>Vicente Gonzalez, a Democrat, and Tony Gonzales, a Republican, all

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 3>of the South Texas Congressional delegation. We jointly pressed the

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Biden State Department reversed this idiotic policy. This is hurting

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 3>Texas and hurting America. The Biden administration dug in. They

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 3>refused to change, and so I authored legislation mandating that

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 3>they expedite the process, got bipartisan support in the Senate,

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 3>passed it out of the set, and then passed it

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:04.359
<v Speaker 3>out of the House, and Joe Biden signed it into

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:07.840
<v Speaker 3>law on December twenty second. It was actually my birthday

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 3>that he signed the law, and so it was a

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 3>pretty great birthday gift because it's a huge victory for

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 3>jobs in the state of Texas, and it's an example

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 3>of you know, I got to say, it's also an

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 3>example of the bizarre hypocrisy. I mean, let me ask

0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:31.600
<v Speaker 3>you seriously, Ben, explain to me the mind of a

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 3>whack job liberal that you want totally open borders and

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 3>ten million people invading this country illegally, including human traffickers

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 3>and drug traffickers on the one hand, but on the

0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:47.960
<v Speaker 3>other hand, you want to put bureaucratic roadblocks in the

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:51.879
<v Speaker 3>way of legal trade and commerce from farmers and businesses

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 3>while you're allowing illegal immigrants to flow with no restraint.

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it makes some sense, especially when every year Texas

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and Mexico, as you mentioned, roughly eight hundred billion in

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 2>trade and commerce that come across this border, and this

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 2>does it in a more early fashion, but also with

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the issue of national security involved in it. Keeping it

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>orly with safety and security, especially with all the drug trafficking,

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:18.479
<v Speaker 2>FETNO and everything else coming across the border, it makes

0:36:18.520 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 2>no sense.

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Look, that's exactly right, and we ended up building the

0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 3>bipartisan coalition to pass this into law. And so the

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 3>way the law works is December twenty second is when

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:35.239
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden signed it into law. On that date, which

0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:39.040
<v Speaker 3>was the date he signed it, the legislation starts a

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:43.040
<v Speaker 3>shot clock of sixty days, and the State Department has

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 3>a sixty day time limit to submit its recommendations to

0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 3>the White House as to whether he should grant the

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 3>permit for these four bridges. After that sixty day period,

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:58.920
<v Speaker 3>a second shot clock starts, and the President has sixty

0:36:59.000 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 3>days to make it a termination on the permit. If

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 3>the President does nothing after that second sixty days, the

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 3>permit is deemed automatically granted by operation of law. What

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:15.800
<v Speaker 3>that means is because it was signed on December twenty second,

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:21.360
<v Speaker 3>that by April twentieth we will have these presidential permits

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:24.799
<v Speaker 3>which will expedite these bridges going forward. That is an

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 3>enormous victory despite the Biden administration putting roadblocks in the

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:30.759
<v Speaker 3>way every step of the way.

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Well congratulations, and like you said, it's awesome that it

0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:36.920
<v Speaker 2>was done in such a bipartisan manner and it's great

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:40.439
<v Speaker 2>for commerce, great for the country, great for Texans. This

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 2>is a huge win, especially when you're having to deal

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 2>with an administration like the Biden administration. So congratulations on

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 2>that job.

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Well done.

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad the President didn't know it was your birthday

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to day that he signed that, because they probably would

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:53.480
<v Speaker 2>have delayed it, but they would have said we're not

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:56.399
<v Speaker 2>giving crews that birthday gift. So well done on there.

0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:58.920
