1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on US 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: Soul together, first time a leader from Russia has been 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: the US since nineteen eighty eight, and they shared a 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: handshake on the Tarmact Joint Base Richardson in Alaska before 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: departying together in Donald Trump's presidential limousine, known as the Beast, 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: for the high stakes meeting to discuss the war in Ukraine. Now, 7 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: the two men were smiling when they shook hands for 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: the camera. Trump arrived in Alaska at about ten twenty 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: am local time, while Putin's plane landed around ten point fifty. 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: The two leaders descended their respective planes and walked a 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: red carpet. Now. The President also was asked on his plane, 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: Air Force one, on the way to Alaska about what 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: his expectations were for the summit. This is what he 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: had to say to Brett Baer on Fox News Channel 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: in an excerpt. 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: What are your expectations? 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: I mean, is the goal of this meeting in Alaska 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: to walk away with his. 19 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 4: So when you talk about deals, it's all I do 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 4: my whole life. I do deals. 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 5: You never know, you don't like to have too many expectations. 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 5: You want it because you have to weave and Bob 23 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 5: and you don't know what's going to happen, but we're 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 5: going to go and find out. I'd like to see 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 5: a ceasefire. I wouldn't be thrilled if I didn't get it. 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 5: But everyone says you're not going to get the seat fire. 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 5: It'll take place on the second meeting. The second meeting 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 5: is going to be very but I'm not going to 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 5: be happy with that, So we'll see what happens. 30 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 4: I'm going to be. 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 5: I won't be happy if I walk away without some 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 5: form of a ceasefire. 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 4: Now I say this, and I've said it from the beginning. 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: This is really setting the table today. 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 5: We're going to have another meeting if things work out, 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 5: which will be very soon, or we're not going to 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 5: have any more meetings at all, maybe. 38 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Ever, or we're not going to have any meetings in 39 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: the future, like ever at all, maybe never the present, 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: making it quick, or what this meeting needs to look like, 41 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: and what he believes success will look like in a meeting. 42 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: The President also saying, look, if he's not there to 43 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: actually work a deal, then we are not going to 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: waste our time. He would be willing to walk away 45 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: from a deal if it is or from Vladimir Putin 46 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: if it is not serious. Trump also said this about 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: is it fair for him to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine. 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: Take a listen, So if you were to paint a 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: picture of what perfect looks like coming out of Alaska today, 50 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: what does that look like in your mind? 51 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 4: Look, it's not for me to negotiate a deal. 52 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 5: For Ukraine, but I can certainly set the table to 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 5: negotiate the deal. And our next meeting will have President 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 5: Zelenski and President Putin. 55 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 4: And probably me. 56 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 5: I'd like to focus on doing our country, but you know, 57 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 5: I get these interruptions. 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: I've solved six wars in six. 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 5: Months when you think about it, and that's from Pakistan 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 5: to India that was going to be a terrible one. 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 5: Planes being shot down that was getting ready to flare, 62 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 5: and then nuclear powers. 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: As you heard President Trump say, it's not for me 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: to negotiate a deal for Ukraine, but I can certainly 65 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: set the table to negotiate that deal. And that's exactly 66 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: one of the presidents, meaning face to face with Vladimir Putin. 67 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: Now, don't worry. 68 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: The media is doing what the media always does, trying 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: to undermine the President of the United States of America. 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: NBC News MSNBC. 71 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: This is what they had to say as the two 72 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: world leaders met on the red carpet. Now you've got 73 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: to understand this is a simple handshake that they've witnessed 74 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: at MSNBC. And what did John Brennan say, Well, listen carefully, doctor. 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 6: Brennan, what are your thoughts when you see Trump touched Putin. 76 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 6: I've counted at least four times, you know, an arm 77 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 6: on the shoulder, a hand on a hand. I can't 78 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 6: imagine touching somebody like that after knowing about and seeing 79 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 6: recording like Ali Bell, she's out of boot chat your 80 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 6: thoughts well. 81 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 7: As Ali's interview demonstrated, there are so many individual stories 82 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 7: about just the horrendous suffering that the Ukrainian people have 83 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 7: gone through. 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 4: But it's the scale of the suffering. 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 7: Putin is responsible for well over one million deaths Ukrainians 86 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 7: and Russians, probably three or four times as many wounded 87 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 7: and maimed. The scale of the atrocities and his targeting, 88 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 7: intentional targeting of civilians makes I think that image of 89 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 7: the red carpet greeting from the President United States, particularly odious. 90 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 7: It is really quite something that an international pariah who 91 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 7: has been responsible for so much destruction over the past 92 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 7: several years is welcomed. 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: Now. 94 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 7: I know that we need to be able to bring 95 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 7: the fighting Ukraine to an end, and unfortunately, you know, 96 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 7: the only present we have right now is Donald Trump. 97 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 7: And so I do believe that both Donald Trump and 98 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 7: Lami Putin do not want this meeting to be an 99 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 7: abject failure. I think they both have a stake and 100 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 7: seeing something come out of it. But I do detect 101 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 7: Donald Trump's nervousness. I think he does have some butterflies 102 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 7: in his stomach because he knows that he has long 103 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 7: over committed what he can do in terms of bringing 104 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 7: this war to a close. 105 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: You listen to John Brennan there, it's amazing. I do 106 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: detect Donald Trump's nervousness. This is the President of smiling, 107 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: coming off of Air Force One, getting on a red 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: carpet meeting Vladimir Putin, shaking hands for the cameras, and 109 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: he said, but I think he does have some butterflies 110 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: in his stomach. Obviously, John Brennan doesn't know what the 111 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: hell he's talking about, or anybody else for that matter 112 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: who is watching this happen in real time. No, the 113 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: President did not seem nervous at all. No, the president 114 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: you would have no idea if he had butterflies in 115 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: his stomach. By the way, the two leaders have met 116 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: multiple times before. This is not some crazy thing that's happening. 117 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: And yet what is the media doing everything they can 118 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: to tear down the president? What does the president's goal here? 119 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,679 Speaker 1: The President's goal is very simple, to get a deal 120 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: to save lives, to stop a war, to stop a 121 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: war that's been going on for years, and to stop 122 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: the senseless killing of young men, women and children in 123 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: both of these countries, all because of Vladimir Putin. He's 124 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: also trying to do it quickly. Why would we want 125 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: to drag this on? And what is the media doing 126 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: telling you every reason why they think Donald Trump will 127 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: be a failure at this summit, and even criticizing the 128 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: President United Sisma saying I don't even know how he 129 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: can touch this man. How can he touch this man 130 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that has done such evil? The President United States of America. 131 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: Guess what has to put those types of feelings aside 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: when you're trying to negotiate peace between two nations, and 133 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: so yes, Donald Trump is going to shake the hand 134 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: of Ladimir Putin. Yes, he put his hand on his 135 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: shoulder as well. Yes, you don't want to go in 136 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: this meeting hating each other if you want to get 137 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: a deal done. This is what I would describe as 138 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: the literally art of the deal. So here we are, 139 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: the two men are meeting as we speak. Hopefully they're 140 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: getting something done in a positive way. Hopefully they'll get 141 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: a deal done that makes sense for everyone involved. And 142 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: hopefully they'll get to a point where they can go 143 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: to Zelenski and say, Okay, this is what it's looking like. 144 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: Let's start the negotiations. And by the way, working towards 145 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: a ceasefire quickly is another huge part of this conversation. 146 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, NBCMSNBCS aren't the only ones that 147 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: are doing this. Turn it over to see it in 148 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: former Obama Chief of Staff Rob Emmanuel saying this about 149 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: the Alaska summit yet again, hoping it's a failure. 150 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 8: When cease fire, whatever happens, there will be a tabulation 151 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 8: of the win loss here, both body count, economically, strategically, 152 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 8: what's happened to Russia. That's why slightly the red carpet. 153 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 8: They are cheering back muscle because the isolation and this 154 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 8: was a freebie, a total freebie without literally you cannot 155 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 8: where's America's scorecard from kind of how you measure this. 156 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 8: That's why I worry about President Tump putting his own 157 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 8: personal interests ahead of America's national security. 158 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Interest Ram Emmanuel, I worry about President Trump putting his 159 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: own personal interests ahead of America's national security interests? Are 160 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: you kidding me? This is now what he's saying. Let's 161 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: also talk about the reality. The reality is the US 162 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: economy is strong. Russia is not. And that's part of 163 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: the reason why this summit is probably happening, because Russia's 164 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: in a major hole right now when it comes to 165 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: their cash flow. Let me just give you some examples 166 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: of what's happening right now. Russia is running literally out 167 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: of cash. It is in a severe stagnation or stagflation, 168 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: depending on how you want to describe it. Potatoes are 169 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: up sixty two percent, butter up thirty breught up eighteen 170 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: percent of interest rates to the high eighteen percent stagflation. 171 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: Russia is losing at least three hundred million a day 172 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: on its war in Ukraine.

Those abuses eroded public 224 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 10: trust in our institutions.

There are some saying, Wow, this shouldn't 284 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: be an issue of accountability. Let's just move on from it. 285 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: If you're saying that, I think you're insane. Because these 286 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: people went totally outside of the time and time again 287 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: they abuse their power to try to overthrow the will 288 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: of the people.

They are made available to Congress 337 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 15: under very tightly controlled rules. This has been a source 338 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 15: of tension for years, and members of both parties have 339 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 15: gone out of their way to assure that this material 340 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 15: would be closely held and not weaponized. Shift was viewed 341 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 15: it is one of the most political chairs of that 342 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 15: committee in its history, and this is an truly chilling 343 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 15: account if true. Now, when I first read it, frankly, 344 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 15: I was taken aback because it's perfectly moronic to commit 345 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 15: such a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff. 346 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 15: That's not usually how things are leaked in Washington, d C. 347 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 15: What makes this different, will is that this was a 348 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 15: statement made to FBI agents. The person who made this 349 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 15: statement was no doubt aware that lyning to FBI agents 350 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 15: is not just a crime, but a crime that was 351 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 15: repeatedly prosecuted during prior administrations, including the Obama and Biden administrations. 352 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 15: So making this statement puts you at risk. That's why 353 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 15: someone's lying here, and someone's a fellon. 354 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: The question now is do you believe Adam Schiff or 355 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: is Adam Schiff the felon and maybe the liar all 356 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: at the same time. We're going to keep covering this one. 357 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: I can promise you that it is Democrats' biggest fear. 358 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: Law and order returning state by state and states now 359 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: working with the Trump administration and ICE officials. Specifically, we 360 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: now have three states that have signed a new agreement 361 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: with ICE for quote expanded immigration enforcement operations. These three 362 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: states include West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, all signing 363 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: the agreements with the Department of Homeland Securities, US Immigration 364 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say, ramp up immigration 365 00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was the first one one. 366 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: The governor there, Patrick Morsey, announce a robust collaboration under 367 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: Section two eight seven G of the Immigration and Nationality Act. 368 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: This agreement enlists the West Virginia State Police, Corrections and 369 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard to assist ICE in 370 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an a legal immigrant, you 371 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: don't want to be in West Virginia right now now. 372 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Under this task force structure, officers can quote interrogate anyone 373 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number two process immigration 374 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: violations for individuals already rested for other offenses. Three conduct 375 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: warrantless arrests if an individual is seen and suspected to 376 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: be a flight risk pending a warrant, four serve immigration warrants, 377 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: administer oas, collect fingerprints and gas their evidence, and five 378 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional facilities before 379 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: transferring them to ICE custy under federal supervision. You look 380 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: at what has happened in South Dakota. The governor there, 381 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder, a public 382 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota Highway Patrols 383 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: support ICE, with the rest announcing it today. The National 384 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks as well, 385 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees, identify 386 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: undocumented individuals within state prisons and parole them into ICE custody. 387 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: You then move to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former 388 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: White House pre Secretary under Donald Trump, signing the Defense 389 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: Against Criminal Illegals Act, which definitively increases penalties for undocumented 390 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: immigrants can to violent crimes, again saying to legal immigrants, 391 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to be in Arkansas. It also, with 392 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: this new agreement allows sheriffs to apply for the two 393 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: eight seven G authority to serve immigration warrants on those 394 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: already in custody, and Sarah Huckebee Center's announcing this enables 395 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: the Arkansas State Police to stop individuals in public inquire 396 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: about immigration status and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now, 397 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: if you think they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example, 398 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: in Arkansas, there is training required, a forty hour online 399 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: course covering scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues, 400 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: as well as liability. Doing this in a responsible way. 401 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: Now you may be asking what is ICE two to 402 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: eight seven G program. Well, let me explain to you 403 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: the broader context of how this is being used by 404 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. The program enables state and local officers 405 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: after ICE provided training, to carry out certain immigration enforcement 406 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: duties under ICE supervision. That is why there's a collaboration 407 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: here and why they are having to sign on to 408 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: the program. 409 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: Now. 410 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: As of August thirteenth, ICE has executed eight hundred and 411 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: ninety seven agreements across forty states, including various models such 412 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: as jail enforcement, warrant service, and task force operations. 413 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: The Trump administration has. 414 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: Significantly accelerated these partnerships, growing from around one hundred and 415 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: thirty five to over seven hundred agreements in early twenty 416 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: twenty five alone. 417 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: Of course, the left. 418 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: Is going insane, warning that the surge is a risk 419 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: to quote civil rights community trust and invites, they say, 420 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: racial profiling, even though none of these programs have anything 421 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: to do with that. Now, you also may be asking yourself, 422 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: why am I not quoting the president right now when 423 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling you about this initiative. Well, the President clearly 424 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: is playing chess on the issue. In fact, the White 425 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: House has had no public statement or reaction regarding these 426 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, mainly 427 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: because they want this to be clearly seen as state 428 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: led that these governors are opting in. And that is 429 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: exactly why the administration is being so successful in getting 430 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: this done with so many different agreements, because they're not grandstanding. 431 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: They're just trying to fight crime, and it's clearly working. 432 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: I want you also take a listen to West Virginia's 433 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: governor responding to the Trump administration's position on immigration enforcement 434 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: and entering into this agreement and what he says it's 435 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: going to do for his state, and also why so 436 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: many other states should get involved. 437 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 9: We always thought that when you're talking about Biden border disorder, 438 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 9: which is what occurred for four years, the best way 439 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 9: to deal with it is to have a partnership between 440 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 9: the states and the federal government. Now you're seeing that 441 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 9: with the Trump administration, which is incredible. So West Virginia 442 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 9: has actually entered into the two eighty seven g program, 443 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 9: and so we're working hand in hand with ICE to 444 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 9: identify illegal aliens and make sure that they can get deported. 445 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 9: And this is really important to do because, as President 446 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 9: Trump said yesterday, when you actually remove a lot of 447 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 9: these illegal aliens from the system, you're going to see 448 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 9: a reduction in crime. That there are a number of 449 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 9: people we found it even in West Virginia, murderers, attempted murder, 450 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 9: sexual assaults, all different types of crime. None of the 451 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 9: states need it. 452 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 4: Now we have a. 453 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 9: Partnership with the Trump administration. 454 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 4: And it's fabulous. 455 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 9: I know that I've talked to a Homeland Security Secretary, 456 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 9: Christy Nome. I've praised her for her or we're trying 457 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 9: to work together with them because it takes states working 458 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 9: with the government to make sure that we're kind of 459 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 9: reasserting our position and stopping all the horrific consequences of 460 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 9: what happened with the illegal immigrants coming in. I know 461 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 9: in West Virginia we really felt the impact of that 462 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 9: through the massive amount of death that flowed from fetanyl 463 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 9: that flooded into our state, originally from China, went through 464 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 9: the Mexican drug cartels, made its way into the US. 465 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 9: I think you're seeing a very different and a much 466 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 9: more successful approach, and I'm glad that our state is 467 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 9: a part of that. 468 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: One of the most important things that was said there 469 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: by the West Virginia governor was how he said West 470 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: Virginia had quote become an effective border state due to 471 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: the massive fetno problem caused by illegal immigration. The fetno 472 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: outbreak in West Virginia has been catastrophic, especially on young people. 473 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons why the governor said 474 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: he's so eager to work with ICE because of how 475 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: many lives he believes he's going to be able to save. Now, 476 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: the National Guard and the State police will have quote 477 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: task force authority, and that is going to be huge 478 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: and going after the drug traffickers. Why it gives them 479 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: the authority to interrogate any person they believe to be 480 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: an illegal immigrant as to his right to remain in 481 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: the US now under the supervision or direction of the 482 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: federal government, meaning ICE agents officers will also be able 483 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: to process immigration related violations for those arrested for state 484 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: or federal offenses. This is going to allow the governor 485 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: and his team to actually be able to do what 486 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: they need to do. It also allows for them to 487 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: have quote, warrantless arrests of any illegal immigrant in the 488 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: officer's presence or view if that person is believed to 489 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: be a flight risk in the interim of obtaining a warrant. 490 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: So the governor they are authorizing this state law enforcement 491 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: to serve immigration warrants, administer os, and collect evidence for 492 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: required alien processing. This will allow for fingerprinting and suspect 493 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: interviews to be done. 494 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: Now. This is also going to have a. 495 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: Huge impact just on the psyche of illegal immigrants and 496 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: cartel members in West Virginia because now they understand that 497 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: virtually anyone in law enforcement now can do the job 498 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: they need to do to find out who they are 499 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: and stop them, something that was not happening under the 500 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: Biden regime. And that's why the President's being pretty quiet 501 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: about this because it's happening in real time and he's 502 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: letting the governors lead in these states. Don't forget Share 503 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: this podcast please with your family and your friends whereover 504 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: they are, and I will see you back here tomorrow
