More on the showdown between the Trump 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: administration and various Democrat run cities, notably Chicago and Portland. 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: But the mayor of Chicago has done something pretty remarkable. 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: He thinks that he can create federal government enforcement free zones. 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: And we shall discuss what that looks like. We shall 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: have a conversation about how absurd the Democrat position on 17 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: all of this is getting. As a CNN anchor decides 18 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 2: to throw down with Stephen Miller, it does not go well. 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: Spoiler alert for the CNN anchor, Stephen Miller having none 20 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: of it. President Trump some comments yesterday from the oval 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: that I wanted to get to today. The government shut 22 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: down continues. I'm here in our nation's capital and I 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: don't know, feels fine, doesn't feel very shut down, like 24 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: feels okay. Things are kind of just doing what they do. 25 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: So there's that. We'll discuss the latest with it. And 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: also it is, of course the two year anniversary of 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: the October seventh terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel. Our 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: friend and podcast host Carol Markowitz will be with us 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: in the third hour to discuss some reflections two years on, 30 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 2: as the Trump administration is trying to bring a cease 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: fire and some kind of peace deal into effect in 32 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: that region. 33 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: Has been two years of conflict. 34 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 2: But I wanted to dive in first to this situation, 35 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: and it is more of the deep state weaponization that 36 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: we have known about but continue to find new things out. 37 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: This is now the surveillance of United States Republican senators 38 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: the FBI well in this case actually came out from 39 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grastly. He released this publicly. 40 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: But the FBI, led by Director Patel and Deputy Director 41 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: at Bongino, is providing transparency as promised about what kind 42 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: of weaponization has occurred at the Federal Bureau of investigation 43 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: and notably on this Arctic Frost operation that they were running. 44 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: This is about election j six, twenty twenty stuff, and 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: they clearly were on a hunt for individuals that were 46 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: political targets instead of actual criminals. 47 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: That's a problem. 48 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: I think Donald Trump summed it up well with this. 49 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: This is on truth's social Durie. Jack Smith caught with 50 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: his hand in the cookie jar, a real sleeve bag. Indeed, 51 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: the President of the United States pulling no punches and 52 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: letting it be known how he feels about the unduly 53 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: anointed prosecutor Jack Smith in this whole situation. But we've 54 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: got this from the FBI. We have an electronic communications 55 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: tally here as in surveillance of the cell phones of 56 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 2: toll analysis records. You've got Mike Kelly, Lindsey Graham, I 57 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: am Bill Haggarty, Josh Holly, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron 58 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 2: Johnson he'll be with us tomorrow, Senator Johnson, uh and 59 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: Cynthia Loomis, Marcia Blackburn, these are the names on this release. Well, 60 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: this is not just one of those times where we're 61 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: finding something out. There's already been action taken the FBI, 62 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: and this is from Director Patel has terminated some employees 63 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: that were involved in this. When these Republicans had their 64 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: private communications, their private phone calls tracked. Director Patel put 65 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: this out. We are cleaning up a diseased temple three 66 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: decades in the making, identifying the rot, removing those who 67 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: weaponize law enforcement for political purposes and those who do 68 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: not meet the standards of this mission, while restoring integrity 69 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: to the FBI. I promised reform and I intend to 70 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: deliver it. So that was in a statement to Fox News. 71 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: So that is where we are right now. 72 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: It is. 73 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: More information to add onto the pile about weaponization of 74 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: government that has happened. 75 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: But we had a G. 76 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: Pam Bondi testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on this issue. 77 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: I wanted you to hear it from the Attorney General herself. 78 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: This is cut two hit it. 79 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: When I was confirmed as an eighty seventh Attorney General 80 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: of the United States, I took office with two mangals 81 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: to end the weaponization of justice and return the department 82 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: to its core mission of fighting violent crime. As to 83 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: ending the weaponization of justice, we learned that former FBI 84 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 3: secretly investigated you and your colleagues why they wanted to 85 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: take President Trump off the playing field. They were playing 86 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: politics with law enforcement powers and will go down as 87 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: a historic betrayal of public trust. This is the kind 88 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: of conduct that shatters the American people's faith in our 89 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: law enforcement system. We will work to earn, not back, 90 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: every single day. 91 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: It's critical because when the people have a lack of faith, 92 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: and rightly so, in the fair minded in the ethical 93 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: application of the rule of law, especially when it especially 94 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: when it comes to the fearsome powers of the FBI, 95 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: when the public no longer believes that that is being 96 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: done in a non partisan fashion, we have a very 97 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: big problem. 98 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: On our hands. 99 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: And the public is right to not just question the FBI, 100 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: but to have lost tremendous respect for it as an institution. 101 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: And that is why Director Patel, Deputy Director Bongino, and 102 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: other good men and women in the FBI under this 103 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: Trump administration are trying so hard to first deal with 104 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: the rot excise it, but also to set things right. 105 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: We cannot have an FBI that is pulling the phone 106 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: records of Republicans scents to try to jam them up 107 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: on some nonsense. We already had an FBI, as we 108 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: know that was involved with the entire Crossfire hurricane debacle, 109 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: involved in trying to pin a lie on a President 110 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: Donald Trump to destroy his administration and perhaps even to 111 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: send him and members of his family and top advisors 112 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: to prison. 113 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: What one thing I will note, and you should all keep. 114 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: This in mind too, there are a whole bunch of 115 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: Republicans who have actually gone to prison from Trump World. 116 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: There's a whole series of people that have served time 117 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: for overwhelmingly the most petty offenses imaginable. And we've seen 118 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: an FBI with James Comey that was willing to pretend 119 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: it was investigating laws that no honest person thinks are 120 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: the basis for any investigation, like the Logan Act against 121 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: General Flynn in the first Trump administration. So the weaponization 122 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: has been broad, it has been consistent, and it has 123 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: been taken as far as the investigative body, the FBI 124 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: can take things, meaning that they have brought these cases, 125 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: they have used these tools, they've used faiza and it 126 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: is a very dangerous thing, let me tell you, coming 127 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: from a CIA analysis background, when you have what is 128 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: effectively the secret police in a country playing games, using 129 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: surveillance powers to undermine one political party or another. 130 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't lead to good places. 131 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: In fact, sometimes it leads to a straight up coup 132 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: and maybe the head of a secret police run a country. 133 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: And it paid attention to James Comy in recent years. 134 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: That is terrifying. I think a Comy administration might even 135 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 2: be worse than a Kamala administration. And I just read 136 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: Kamala's book and it is also deeply, deeply troubling because 137 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: it is so boring and so awful that you think 138 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: this woman could have been president in this country. I 139 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: know Trump beat her soundly, but the fact that so 140 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: many people voted for her I think should keep us 141 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: all on guard. It is a wow moment. One of 142 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: the least talented politicians of our lifetime somehow managed to 143 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: be the Democrat nominee and got tens of millions of votes. Anyway, 144 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: back to FBI weaponization, I'm weaving. Isn't that what Trump says? 145 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: I'm weaving? Isn't that the term right when he starts 146 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: going off? I haven't used that one in a while, 147 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: But if Trump says it I'm weaving, I'm getting back 148 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: to it. I don't think Trump has said that in 149 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: a while either. That was a big Trump isn't for 150 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: a while when he would start to start to go 151 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 2: on tangents. So yes, the reality here is cleaning up 152 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: the FBI is absolutely essential. I'm just a few blocks 153 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: from the Hoover Building, so it feels very close. It 154 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: feels very real that this is underway right now. But 155 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: this is essential. And then there's also speaking of cleaning 156 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 2: up law enforcement, there is the deployment issue here about 157 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: National Guard going to these cities. Pam Bondy also in 158 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: front of the Senate Judiciary Committee here saying to Senator 159 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: Dick Durbin, another deeply, deeply unimpressive fellow, very common esque 160 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: in that respect. Here he is, or rather here Pam 161 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: Bondy is explaining that you know what, national guards going 162 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: to Chicago? 163 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Deal with it? Play three. 164 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: The National Guard is on the way right now as 165 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: we speak. Oh, by the way, so is Director Patel 166 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 3: and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. You're sitting here grilling me, 167 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: and they're on their way to Chicago to keep your state. 168 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 4: Safe, Madam, Attorney General. Is my job to grill you? 169 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. 170 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: No, I mean he could just ask questions and be respectful, 171 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: But however he wants to position this, of course, but 172 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: this is now going to let me transition into this 173 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: ongoing fight over bringing safety and security to these cities 174 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: and allowing for immigration and customs enforcement to do their 175 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 2: job without obstruction, without being unduly burdened by lunatics in 176 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 2: the streets who are throwing rocks and bottles and lord 177 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: knows what else at them. It is time for a 178 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: law enforcement reckoning here. Remember when it came to January sixth, 179 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: the Democrats were willing to not only have the National 180 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: Guard deployed for four or five months with big fences 181 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: around the Capitol, but they used the FBI very much 182 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 2: like a secret police force in some third world country 183 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: to hunt down people for nonviolent crimes, to bust into 184 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: their homes, sometimes in the pre dawn hours with tactical teams. 185 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: And I mean, just look what they did. Well, they've 186 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: done this so many times, what they did to Roger 187 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: Stone in an earlier era. They're willing to abuse the 188 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: powers of the FBI of the DOJ for the most 189 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: nakedly part in purpose. It's gotta stop, and that means consequences. 190 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: That means people have got to get fired at. 191 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: It means people have got to go to prison. 192 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 2: If they can send Bannon to prison for nothing, and 193 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 2: Navarro to prison for nothing, and a whole bunch of others, 194 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: maybe we can send some Democrats to prison for something, 195 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: as in breaking the law, which they've done. I think 196 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: that's where we need to go. I think that's where 197 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: people are recognizing we have to go.

It is also called the second City, Producer, Ali, 252 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: you look at me with this look of you created 253 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: panic in me, which reminds me always bet On Buck, 254 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: like my first instinct is almost always correct here. So yes, 255 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: it is, in fact the second city and the windy 256 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: City and the deep dish pizza city. There are many 257 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: many names for Chicago, and as we discussed, The name 258 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: comes from Algonquin for a plant found along the river 259 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: there Chicaqua. Yeah, that's right, Milliwaukee, which does not mean 260 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: the good land as I understand it, even though Alice 261 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: Cooper said that in Wayne's world and everybody thought forever 262 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: that that was the case. This is like those things 263 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 2: you see on the Internet where there's a great story 264 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: about where something comes from, and then you find out 265 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: it's not even true, and you only find it out 266 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: when you share the story, and then you're sad, and 267 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: then there is sadness all right. Back to the situation 268 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: in Chicago. This is where things have gone. The mayor 269 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: of Chicago is tripling down on crazy. The mayor of Chicago, 270 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: I guess, feels that the best way to represent his 271 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: constituents is to create the pretense that Chicago is like 272 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: the Vatican inside of Italy, like it's its own statelet 273 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: that does not have to deal with the surrounding nationality. 274 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: But that's in fact not the case. Now I understand. 275 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: It's different than the deployment in Washington, DC, where there 276 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: is a clear federal authority to do a whole lot. 277 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: DC is a special city in that way, But in Chicago, 278 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: there's still immigration laws that need to be enforced, and 279 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 2: as we've discussed, Democrats have made it clear, oh, state 280 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: and local can't do anything on immigration. It's totally up 281 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 2: to the federal government. Well that means it's totally up 282 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: to the federal government, and when it wants to go 283 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: in and do arrests and detain people for deportation, it 284 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 2: has the clear, lawful, constitutional right to do so, and 285 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: they should not try to get in the way of 286 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: that as they are doing. Going even further, you got 287 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: to hear this. When we come back, I'll play for 288 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: you what the mayor of Chicago is saying about his 289 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: city and the role that Ice well he thinks is 290 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 2: not allowed to play in his city. It will also 291 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: get into Portland, Oregon, which, as you know, is on 292 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: my list of cities that should be awesome if they 293 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: were not run by communists.

What's the rationale. 324 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: For that, Chairman? As you shut down the government, you 325 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 3: voted to shut down the government, and you're sitting here. 326 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 3: Our law enforcement officers aren't being paid.

They would just allow the 336 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: sound bites to pile up, and the narrative, really the 337 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 2: perspective to be, the perception to be that they were 338 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: just getting beat up. 339 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: And that's not the deal. 340 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: Unto the Trump administry, it started with President Trump himself, 341 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: which is really one of the most magnificent things that 342 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: he has done for the right in America. I'm not 343 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: just going to let the other side slap me in 344 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: the face over and over and do nothing about it. 345 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: But Trump has clearly empowered his entire administration to fight back. 346 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: You don't have to, You actually don't have to sit 347 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: there as a senior government official and be wildly disrespected 348 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 2: or undermined or mocked or ridiculed. And I know that 349 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: we've gotten used to that now in the Trump administration, 350 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 2: meaning the fight back we've gotten used to, whether it's 351 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: Caroline Leavitt handling the White House Press Corps, or it's 352 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: various cabinet officials. You know, it's it's Patel, it's Bondie, 353 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: it's it's Rubio. They know that they're going to get 354 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 2: incoming if there's outgoing. But it is a relatively new 355 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: phenomenon in Republican politics. It's still something that I appreciate 356 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: as somebody who remembers and you know, I'm here in 357 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: d C. So I have a lot of flashbacks and 358 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 2: memories of the Bush g Wat years. So it's actually 359 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: visiting friends at the Pentagon this morning, you know, just 360 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: checking in saying hi. And it's a remarkable thing to 361 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 2: have an administration that stands up for itself and also 362 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: has largely defanged the worst elements of the Democrat attack 363 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: dogs in the press corps. I mean, really has done 364 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 2: a remarkable job of that. 365 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: But all right, back to. 366 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 2: Back to Chicago and where Mayor Brandon Johnson is on. 367 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: All this stuff. 368 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: Wow, you would think you would think that he would 369 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: have seen perhaps what has gone on in Washington, d C. 370 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: And say to himself, this is. 371 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: Not going to be the winning issue for me that 372 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: I think it is. You would think that perhaps that's no, no, 373 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: it is not his takeaway on all of this. In fact, 374 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 2: he has signed an executive order as the mayor, a 375 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: mayoral executive order, an executive order that I'll let you 376 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: hear it from him, does the following. 377 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: This is cut five. 378 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 6: Today we are signing an executive order aimed at reigning 379 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 6: in this out of controlled administration. The order establishes ice 380 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 6: free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private 381 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 6: businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids. 382 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 2: Second, why would why would the mayor of an American 383 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 2: city make it more difficult, maybe even impossible in some 384 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: ways for federal law enforcement to conduct their lawful duties. 385 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 2: Imagine any other any other area of the law where 386 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 2: this where this would be applied. Imagine that this would 387 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: happen with anything other than immigration. You would know right away, well, 388 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 2: this is insane. This is crazy, and this is where 389 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: the Democrats are going on this. They're going into crazy 390 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: town in a deep way. In fact, Chicago is looking 391 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: like crazy town because of the leadership of what is 392 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 2: in fact the Second City, the Windy City, and the 393 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: Polish Sausage Capital. I believe I'm throwing that in there too. 394 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: No, it's apparently the Polish saus It's very good. 395 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: I had a roommate from Chicago and college and he 396 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: introduced me to the Polish sausage. The guys, it is 397 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: a delicious delicacy. 398 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: For Heaven's sakes. 399 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: For Heaven's sakes, the team in here, I'm just saying, 400 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: I like Chicago. 401 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: It is a great town. It is a great town. 402 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: Oh man, if Clay were here today. If Clay were 403 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: here today, the whole show would be going in a wow. 404 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: So where were we? Yes? Okay? 405 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: Mayor Brandon Johnson, he is saying there is an ice 406 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: free zone, and he's also to give you a sense 407 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: of where his head is on these issues. This is 408 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: Chicago Mayor Johnson on how he feels about the Trump administration. 409 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: I mean, you just got to hear this to believe it. 410 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 2: This has cut six play it. 411 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 6: I've also said over the last couple of years, at 412 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 6: the extreme right in this country refused to accept the 413 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 6: results of the Civil War. 414 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 7: They have repeatedly called for a rematch. 415 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 6: But in the co weeks, we will use this opportunity 416 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 6: to build greater resistance. 417 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 7: Chicagoans are cleared. 418 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 6: Militarizing our troops in our city as justification to further. 419 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 7: Escalate a war in Chicago will not be tolerated. 420 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: This is crazy. 421 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: I mean, these are the words of somebody who is 422 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: detached from reality, the extreme right. 423 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything. 424 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: This is the federal government conducting its lawful duties of 425 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: immigration enforcement. If it is not lawful, let's hear why 426 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: it is lawful. In fact, the lawlessness has been the 427 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 2: Democrats in sanctuary cities for decades now, acting like federal 428 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: law doesn't apply to them, like somehow they get to 429 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 2: operate separate from what the federal jurisdiction of this country 430 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: actually is. 431 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: The extreme right. 432 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: I guess that means the Trump administration, which would mean 433 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: a majority of the American people voted for it. So 434 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 2: how is that extreme? How is it the extreme right? 435 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: I need someone to explain that one to me. And also, 436 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: as we see moderates independence all, they've all been swinging 437 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 2: toward Trump. So if anyone has a claim in this 438 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: country right now to being more in the center, or 439 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: rather encompassing more of the center, it would be the 440 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 2: Trump Naga movement. It would certainly not be the lunatic 441 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: Democrats who think that they can create ice free zones 442 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: for themselves. So yeah, and the notion that somehow this 443 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: is a refusal to accept the results of the Civil War. 444 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: This is just inflammatory rhetoric. And I would remind everybody 445 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 2: this is why you have to have ice officers in 446 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: jurisdictions like Chicago operating with their faces covered, because the 447 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: kind of words that are used by Democrats to oppose 448 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 2: this incites violence, incites hatred of our law enforcement officers 449 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: and the docksing of them, the threats against them and 450 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: their families. And Democrats know this. This is not some surprise, 451 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 2: This is not some shock to them. They understand that 452 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 2: all these things are happening, they want it to happen. 453 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 2: They want the pressure on ice officers. They want people 454 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: to be afraid to actually conduct the mission assigned to 455 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: them by the Trump White House. That's part of the 456 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 2: way that they intend to oppose all of this is 457 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: create a climate of fear for law enforcement, which is 458 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: why they support what's going on in not just Chicago, 459 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 2: but Portland and other places. And that then brings me 460 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 2: to the deployment to Portland. Caitlin Collins, formerly of The 461 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: Daily Caller. 462 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: Now many years at CNN. 463 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: Here she is with Caroline Levitt. I want you to 464 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 2: enjoy this whole back and forth on the deployment of 465 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: National Guard to Portland, and you can make your own 466 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 2: determination as to who got the better end of this argument. 467 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Place seven federal. 468 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 8: Judge over the weekend that the president had appointed to 469 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 8: the bench in his first term in office, basically argued 470 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 8: that he could not deploy other States National Guards to Portland. 471 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 8: Basically said that it was untethered his argument to what 472 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 8: is actually happening on the ground, which local officials in 473 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 8: Portland have said that the National Guard. 474 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 3: Is needed there. 475 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 9: With all due respect to that, judge, I think her 476 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 9: opinion is untethered in reality and in the law. The 477 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 9: president is using his authority as commander in chief US 478 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 9: Code twelve four six, which clearly states that the President 479 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 9: has the right to call up the National Guard in 480 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 9: cases where he deems it's appropriate. And if you look 481 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 9: at what has happened in Portland, Oregon, for more than 482 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 9: one hundred nights. I was talking to our law enforcement 483 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 9: team about. 484 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: It this morning. 485 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 9: For more than one hundred days, after night after night, 486 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 9: the ice facility has been really under siege by these 487 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 9: anarchists outside. They have been disrespecting law enforcement, they've been 488 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 9: inciting violence. We saw again a guillotine rolled out in 489 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 9: front of this federal building. And so the president wants 490 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 9: to ensure that our federal buildings and our assets are protected, 491 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 9: and that's exactly what he's trying to do. And ultimately, 492 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 9: in the case in Los Angeles, that judge ruled in 493 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 9: the Ninth Circuit that that panel of judges ruled that 494 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 9: those troops could remain and that the President was well 495 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 9: within his authority to do so. We are appealing that decision. 496 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 9: As you know, we expect a hearing on it pretty quickly, 497 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 9: and we're very confident in the president's legal authority to 498 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 9: do this, and we're very confident we will win on 499 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 9: the merits of the law. 500 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: What you have to remember, I think we all know 501 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: how that went, whether it was a Caroline or Caitlin victory. 502 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: But what you have to remember with all of this. 503 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: Is these judges and the Democrats and CNN, and it's 504 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: all an outgrowth of the They don't accept that Trumps 505 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: the president. They recognize that, yes, technically he is the president, 506 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: but they do not actually in their own minds, except 507 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: that he is the president of the United States with 508 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: the full powers vested therein by the people in a 509 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: free and fair election. They just they deny it. They 510 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: are in denial. I mean, this is the hashtag resistance mentality. 511 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: No one uses hashtags anymore. I always thought they were annoying, 512 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: so they don't say hashtag resistance. But it's the same idea, 513 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: not my President. That was the initial rallying cry of 514 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: the left after the twenty sixteen election. And I remember 515 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 2: because I was in New York City and the marches 516 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: were going past my window of my three hundred square 517 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 2: foot New York City palace. 518 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: Not my president. That's what they were saying. 519 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: They still refuse to believe that he is the president, 520 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: and ultimately that is their justification for what they do. 521 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,239 Speaker 2: Everything else is a facade all the Oh, but this 522 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 2: judge says this or that judge that they know they're 523 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: going to be overturned, They know the Supreme Court's going 524 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: to overrule them. But in their own minds, they justify 525 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: these actions to slow and if possible, hobble the president's 526 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: agenda by telling themselves he's illegitimate. He's illegitimate. Notice what 527 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 2: they did in the first term, Oh, Russia, he's illegitimate, 528 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: and now this time around, oh, he's a fascist than 529 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: a threat to democracy. It's all self justified. The argument 530 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 2: shifts as it needs to, based upon their emotional needs, 531 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: and they have an emotional need to say that he's 532 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: not the president. 533 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: They just don't. 534 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: They don't buy it, they don't believe it, and anything 535 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: that they can do to undermine that and to block 536 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: his authority, even if it is temporary, they're willing to do. 537 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: I give Trump a lot of credit for doing what 538 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: he has done so far, which is okay, I'll see 539 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: you in court, all right, will will work through this process, 540 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 2: which they are very much using as a punishment against 541 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: this administration, the punishment of taking time away. But at 542 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: some point you have to ask, when does Trump just 543 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: say no, you aren't the president, random federal judge, you 544 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: don't get to just overrule my authority on an executive 545 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: matter that is plain letter law. Because you don't like me, Sorry, 546 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to keep going. And if the Supreme Court 547 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: tells me I'm wrong, well then maybe we. 548 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: Can revisit this. When does that happen? 549 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: You start to wonder, You start to wonder at what 550 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: point that becomes the obligation of the commander in chief 551 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: to push. 552 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: Forward until the court. 553 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: Now I know all the process, and everyone's going to 554 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: kick and scream about this the same time. Is the sabotage, 555 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 2: the bad faith sabotage of the Trump administration by judges 556 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: in Oregon, by judges in Illinois and all over the 557 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 2: country where there are Democrats and where there are Obama 558 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: and Biden appointees to the bench. Hr, Look, there was 559 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 2: a time when dinner was more than just a meal. 560 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: It's when the family would come together for an hour 561 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 2: or so. Was it like that at your home? It 562 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 2: isn't mine? And look it's a challenge, but you got 563 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: to get to it.
