Senators reach a deal on border security and immigration, but can they get past the border crisis? Democratic Sen. Chris Coons and Republican Sen. Joe Manchin say they ve reached a deal, but there s still a long way to go.
00:00:00.000Well, I want to thank everybody. This has been some period of time. And most importantly, we want to thank the great people of Iowa. Thank you.
00:00:30.000I thought I told y'all like a firework going off. Get it poppin' like the fourth dog. Trump hotter than a torch, y'all. Nikki Haley love war, huh? She want to kill us like abortions. Fell in love with the nukes, huh? And she cuckoo chicken coop, huh? I don't think they stand a chance now. Orange man is a man now. Don't surrender, don't stand down. Dropping commies like man down. I guess you really got a bird brain.
00:01:00.620Lawmakers have tried repeatedly and failed repeatedly to clinch any kind of wide-ranging agreement on what has become the most intractable issue in U.S. politics. In the last 20 years alone, major efforts have reached the precipice of passage. In 2005, in 2013, in 2018, each time they went up in flames, victim to hard right fury over provisions Democrats viewed as essential in any deal.
00:01:28.380And that's what makes this moment and the current negotiations underway between a bipartisan group of senators so incredibly unique.
00:01:36.120Do you feel like where Democrats are on the policy, the willingness to make deals on specific issues, has shifted dramatically over the course of the last several months because of the issues of the border you're talking about?
00:01:51.260Yeah, I think it has shifted dramatically, and it should have shifted dramatically because of what's happened at the border.
00:01:57.780That's Democratic Senator Michael Bennett, a player, a key player in past talks, acknowledging just how far Democrats have moved on the policy.
00:02:06.620They have dropped key priorities like a pathway to citizenship or protections for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
00:02:13.240It's the same question I posed to Democratic Senator Chris Coons.
00:02:19.540Yes, I think there's a willingness to reconsider the initial screening standard for asylum, for example, because so many people are now using the asylum process who ultimately, years later, after a court review, will be deemed ineligible for asylum.
00:02:34.760That's one of the biggest changes in recent years.
00:02:37.200In Washington, of course, a big question is whether the Republicans are going to stab.
00:02:42.800You keep stabbing Ukraine in the back, stabbing Israel in the back and calling for open borders until Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
00:02:51.840The lead editorial in the Wall Street Journal talks about a GOP border reckoning where it says says giving up on the border, the security bill would be a self-inflicted GOP wound.
00:03:07.440President Biden would claim with cause that Republicans want border chaos as an election issue rather than solving the problem.
00:03:15.400The House punted negotiations before Christmas on the theory that Ukraine could hang on until February without a fresh weapons infusion.
00:11:24.480Ronna, since you have, you used your platform and used people's money to provide, you know,
00:11:32.100robot Ron and Chris Christie and others including Nikki to neocon Nikki to attack President Trump and spend, I don't know, 300 million to 500 million because she's out raising money like crazy to defeat him.
00:11:56.800You saw in the beginning, and this is what the narrative is, this bill that they're talking about would be the codification into law of the invasion of our nation and the destruction of this great republic.
00:12:12.520Everything you heard there is that is what they're going to pound into this narrative with the rhino republicans, the globalists, the Democratic Party, etc.
00:12:20.800They're going to go all in as hard as they possibly can to say, oh, President Trump had the deal.
00:12:26.500There's a tough border security deal he could never get.
00:12:28.880Hey, put it where the sun don't shine.
00:12:44.220Rome's burning, and what are they doing?
00:12:46.440They're out seeing their constituents.
00:12:47.500In the live chat, can you please inform Grace Chung and Captain Bannon how many town halls these folks have had, how many meetings with constituents?
00:13:00.540I'm sure it's close to the number zero, right?
00:13:05.780I do know that Matt Rosendale and the great Matt Gaetz are out heading to Montana, I think, right now to have a series of meetings.
00:13:13.340But besides that, I'd like to know how many town halls.
00:13:16.520Are they getting your feedback about the CR?
00:13:18.380Are they getting your feedback about the border?
00:13:20.440Twenty-five states have come in to back Governor Abbott on this throwdown with the federal government.
00:13:26.640As we've told you for years now, the invasion of this country under the illegitimate Biden regime, and only an illegitimate regime would do this to the United States of America.
00:13:36.580His illegitimacy is proven in his hatred of our country, pure hatred of our country.
00:13:43.520And anybody who defends him, and anybody who defends this bill, and we'll get the details of the bill and you make your own decision, but anybody who defends him is a traitor.
00:13:54.820Oh, this is the toughest border security bill.
00:13:57.720It's going to give immediate work permits to six to eight million illegal alien invaders.
00:14:03.880Don't take it from me, Oscar Blue Ramirez yesterday, who's done as great a job as any reporter in the world covering this story in some of the most dangerous places in the Darien Gap and others in southern Mexico.
00:14:17.680He was down in Tapachula two years before BBC and CNN.
00:17:38.060Tell me about this letter of former senior FBI officials to Biden and all these guys about what's happening at the invasion of the southern border, sir.
00:18:07.240These are just true counterterrorism experts.
00:18:10.020And they sent a letter to Mike Johnson and Chuck Schumer and to the Homeland and Intelligence Committees in both chambers saying, we don't want to lie to you.
00:18:18.180There is an invasion going on at our southern border.
00:18:21.440It is of young military men coming from hostile countries, particularly China and Russia.
00:18:29.020They're very worried about those two countries sending thousands of military men age across the border.
00:18:35.680And as it gets worse, they're in a position to strike our infrastructure.
00:18:40.160They're in a position to create warfare on our land.
00:19:28.080The illegitimate regime, the illegitimate regime of the Biden regime, the illegitimate regime of Biden has planned for, executed, and now exacerbated an invasion of our country.
00:19:47.160Just I want to hit rewind for one second, John.
00:19:49.100I want to make sure the audience understands what they said about this is the greatest, inconceivable invasion of our country by military-age men, sir.
00:20:13.360They're clearly invoking the language of the Constitution.
00:20:16.340They're clearly throwing their support behind the idea that Governor Greg Abbott has in Texas.
00:20:21.660And they want the folks to know, based on their experience, 250 years of counterterrorism and counterintelligence experience, they believe we're in the midst of an invasion and that the security threat to the United States is at its worst in any time in our 248-year existence.
00:20:41.780And, Governor Abbott, I know you get inside baseball all the time.
00:20:45.200Give me your perception of Governor Abbott's throwdown against the Supreme Court, throwdown against the Biden regime, and 25 governors have had his back.
00:20:54.920Yeah, listen, there's a constitutional crisis on the horizon.
00:20:57.640This is not a normal federal legal dispute.
00:21:00.360This is, as Governor Abbott said in his statement, this is now a constitutional issue over the right of a state to defend itself when its federal government ceased to defend the state.
00:21:12.700And that is the argument they're going to make.
00:21:14.640When the injunction went before the Supreme Court, it was a legal issue involving a law involving a temporary injunction.
00:21:21.840Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, who was on my show last night, they tend to elevate this now to the constitutional argument that the Supreme Court cannot allow Texas to be unable to defend itself in this invasion.
00:21:35.520And this letter that comes from the FBI former experts, it's going to become evidence number one in the case.
00:21:45.640It happened completely separate of the legal dispute, but it provides the exact argument that Texas needs to go to the Supreme Court and say we can't protect ourselves.
00:21:55.680The FBI's best experts say this is an invasion.
00:21:58.780The federal government sits there with a blank stare on its face every day and lets 5,000, 10,000, 12,000 people a day invade our country.
00:22:05.940You have to let us invoke the constitutional causes that allow us to defend our border.
00:22:11.160And I believe that that's where this is headed.
00:22:12.960This will be one of the most important Supreme Court cases, not only in our lifetime, probably in the history of the United States.
00:22:21.800I just want you to repeat that because this is – folks, I don't think – this audience does, but I think America is just waking up to the fact.
00:22:31.120You believe that this is going to – with Paxson and Abbott and others thrown in now, other governors, that we're going to have not just a constitutional crisis,
00:22:39.660but the Supreme Court is going to be forced to make a decision that's as important as, like, say, the Dred Scott before the Civil War, sir.
00:22:49.240Our Little Rock or any of the great cases that have changed the course of this history, this is in that league because Texas is tired.
00:22:56.200It is no longer going to be able to support the crime and the illegals and the raucous behavior that has come across this border.
00:23:03.920And now, with all of these military-age men from China and Russia – by the way, you don't leave China unless your government allows you to leave it and cross the border illegally in the United States.
00:23:12.760So China has to be privy and sanction this.
00:23:15.300That's one of the points that these guys make in their interviews.
00:23:17.320So, yeah, this is going to be not only one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in our lifetime, I think it's going to be in the history of the country.
00:23:25.680Back about a decade ago, remember Arizona v. U.S., the Supreme Court sided with the Obama administration saying states can't try to enforce federal law.
00:23:36.060That was a legal issue, and a lot of people felt that was a bad ruling.
00:23:39.820But this is not going to be on can we enforce a federal law.
00:23:43.240This is we are invoking the clause in the Constitution that allows a state to defend itself in the absence of federal assistance, and that's going to take it to really one of the most historic arguments we've seen before our court in any generation of Americans.
00:24:00.600John, we had a whole cold open played on Fannie Willis.
00:24:19.980Of course, giving contracts to the person you're in a relationship also creates an ethical conflict.
00:24:24.940But the only issue that should matter to the American people, to the Congress, to the impeachment inquiry is the fact that we now have two separate criminal investigations where the Biden White House and the person of its White House counsel had contacts with prosecutors who were pursuing Donald Trump, the chief opposition leader likely to oppose Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
00:24:47.920Six, eight months ago, I broke the story of the NARA letter, the National Archives letter, in which we saw the White House direct at NARA to sick the FBI on Donald Trump over the classified documents.
00:24:59.080They told them to send the documents over, which would trigger a criminal preliminary inquiry, which eventually led to the raid and the indictment.
00:25:05.900Now we know from the billing records of Fannie Willis' special prosecutor, potentially her also her paramour, that they had two meetings with the White House, one in Washington, one in Georgia.
00:25:21.720We put an open records request in demanding all contacts that reference the White House as part of the Trump Fulton County DA investigation.
00:25:30.300They did not respond in the statutory timeframe.
00:25:33.240We filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Georgia, and we will be suing in the next few days to compel the release of those documents.
00:25:40.500Yesterday at a court hearing, there is two communications that Fannie Willis is now acknowledging came to her office from the White House.
00:25:48.640So we know there's direct correspondence from the White House.
00:25:51.360Now what we want, not only are those two letters, but all the emails saying, why are we meeting with the White House?
00:27:22.880This is why I gave that speech in Pinehurst a couple of months ago.
00:27:25.540I said the convergence with President Trump when he wins of the financial crisis on the spending and the capital markets coupled with having a deport, detain and deport 8 to 10 million illegal alien invaders is going to be one of the toughest things this country has ever done.
00:27:41.660Make sure right now in times of turbulence and to understand the debt trap better, go to birchgold.com slash abandoned.

00:28:28.200Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.

00:31:11.180This country is in a crisis of almost unimaginable complexity and scale of evil.
00:31:20.540A wise man once said, elections have consequences.
00:31:29.020Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
00:31:31.760This goes back to the railhead of 2020.
00:31:34.280It goes back to the railhead of January 6th.
00:31:36.800It goes back to the cowardice of the Republican Party running away from President Trump.
00:31:42.280And then not getting to the bottom of either of those, which we must for the nation.
00:31:47.740Hey, and if it comes out that, you know, we go through and adjudicate this officially to official channels and hearings and all the information, if Trump didn't win, we'll live with that.
00:32:02.280We know we're not gonna have to live with it because he did win.
00:32:04.980Of that, it's just a mathematical, 100% metaphysical certitude.
00:32:10.200That's what I told President Trump on the evening that I talked to him about taking the job as CEO in 16.
00:32:15.740I said to 100% metaphysical certitude, you will win this if we just stick to the bang, this plan.
00:32:30.660Look what he's done again today in Manhattan to trying to, you know, another 10 or 15 million dollars are trying to drop on him on this ridiculous defamation.
00:32:38.800You look at trying to steal his company and bankrupt him.
00:32:42.300I think his attorneys actually yesterday actually mentioned the bankrupt word, the B word.
00:32:49.340Because he refused to go to Mar-a-Lago and like a good little boy, just sit there and let his country be destroyed.
00:32:56.480Think for a second, folks, where we would be in January of in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:33:02.820I want you to think about the thought exercise in the war room this morning.
00:33:05.580If Trump had not decided, like Cincinnati, to return from the plow to save the republic, like in ancient Republican Rome, if he had not done that, our options would have been Ron the robot.
00:33:26.640Everyone said, well, Ron DeSantis is not going to stand up against the forces arrayed against this nation right now, both foreign and domestic.
00:34:14.380The city of London is a term of art that means the Wall Street of essentially Europe.
00:34:19.960It used to be Wall Street of the world.
00:34:22.480The city of London is what financed much of the early development of the United States of America, the big merchant banks there.
00:34:30.280So these guys, having built an empire from an island nation with a relatively small navy, they understand how to weigh and measure people, okay?
00:34:43.300That day, he went to the city of London.
00:36:14.420One of the central things here is the House and the composition of the House.
00:36:19.660Last week, when we had every opportunity to force, use leverage to force Biden, this illegitimate regime, to the table to secure the border.
00:36:38.820And one of those, one of the leaders of that, is this guy Don Bacon out in the great state of Nebraska, who's on MSNBC and CNN saying, no, you know, Hakeem Jeffries.
00:36:46.520We ought to work with Hakeem Jeffries.
00:36:47.820And maybe we have Hakeem Jeffries as a speaker.
00:38:56.220This country is not in a place to continue to tolerate this type of nonsense.
00:39:01.240And when you look at the leverage that they sacrificed by the third CR that they just signed, thank God for Texas because they're certainly not getting any help from Congress or D.C.
00:39:11.020So I'm just telling you right now, I'll go on the record, and those that know me, they'll tell you that if I say I'm going to do something, it's going to get done.
00:39:20.060If I say I'm not going to do something, it's never going to happen.
00:39:23.120I'm telling you right now, I'll never vote for a CR.
00:39:26.900The Congress job, the House job, is to do the budget in a timely manner and keep things running.
00:39:34.800And this CR is just an exit ramp for them and a way out, and it gives them cover for the fact that they're not doing their job.
00:39:45.020You're an entrepreneur, and you're running as an entrepreneur, a businessman that brings a businessman's common sense.
00:39:50.600Do normal entrepreneurs take six, seven weeks off in the summer?
00:39:56.980And I will tell you, an entrepreneur is perhaps a little bit gracious.
00:40:01.520I've been in the business technology industry for my entire adult career.
00:40:05.480But I can tell you, in business in general, you either perform or you're gone.
00:40:12.440And that's not meant to be cold-hearted.
00:40:14.820There are certain people that are cut out for certain things.
00:40:17.660And I'm just telling you, there's nowhere in the business community that I've ever come from in the past where you can go to your boss and say,
00:40:24.960you know what, I didn't get this done yet.
00:47:36.920Quote, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke with the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres on January 25 to emphasize the necessity of a thorough and swift investigation of this matter.
00:47:50.580Yo, dude, what about the same thing that's happened on the southern border?
00:49:12.040In fact, we're going to do a massive audit there and carve back all the money they've misallocated, lied about, stolen, and grifted off the top, just like Zelensky.
00:49:21.960The people in the United States, we've got enough problems here.
00:49:26.500You walked around a major city lately.
00:49:51.640Well, 90% of the American people don't.
00:49:53.760And what they're trying to do right now, the coax of these guys is trying to take the $1,200 you get from Social Security that you put in to try to take that and Medicare.
00:50:42.240If they didn't think you're trash, why would they fund all this?
00:50:45.720If they didn't think you were trash, why would the United Nations work with the NGOs and, hey, Catholic Relief,
00:50:51.680the Lutheran Church, all of them down there?
00:50:54.520And what's their number one focus, these organizations, to take billions of dollars?
00:50:58.200And we know the New York Post report the other day, $1.5 billion of your cash to the UN to go down to Central America to give them cash money
00:51:06.440for when they come to the United States and phones and all of it.
00:51:09.340My mantra since high noon on the 20th of January in the year of our Lord 2021, moments before I was fully sanctioned
00:51:23.420by the Chinese Communist Party, and you might note with about six other people that the Biden State Department
00:51:28.040never made one mention of, I don't care.
00:51:31.340I don't need the Biden regime to stand up for me.
