In this episode, we discuss the latest on the border crisis and the deal between President Trump and Sen. Joe Biden to reopen the southern border, as well as the potential for an impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:00:00.000In the House, two articles of impeachment were released against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:00:07.360First, charging him with willful and systematic refusal to comply with the law.
00:00:13.120And second, breach of public trust, accusing him of making false statements.
00:00:18.980The Department of Homeland Security calling the upcoming impeachment vote a farce.
00:00:24.060Eight million encounters, 300 on the terror watch list, 200 million people dead now thanks to fentanyl poisoning that this one man is responsible for.
00:00:34.460I think that is a dereliction of duty.
00:00:36.820And, you know, we looked at the founding fathers here.
00:00:39.100They didn't have a lot of federal criminal statutes.
00:00:41.920Breach of the public trust is sufficient to impeach.
00:00:47.660And just to give you a sense of how difficult of a lift it will be for some Republicans to support this plan,
00:00:53.340you saw over the weekend the Oklahoma Republican Party condemning and censuring James Lankford's actions as he's negotiated this border deal.
00:01:03.040Just a sign of some of how this conservative backlash is shaping up across the country.
00:01:08.760Now, the details which I first reported on Friday would require the federal government to temporarily block almost all migrants from entering the U.S.
00:01:15.580when daily crossings reach an average of 5,000 per day in any given week.
00:01:20.180The border would be closed to most migrants until the U.S. sees fewer than 2,000 approach the border per day over a two-week span.
00:01:27.980Now, this comes after crossings reached a record of 300,000 last month.
00:01:33.200And crucially for Ukraine, the bill would be paired with billions of dollars to help in its war against Russia.
00:01:38.980Republicans have been railing on the border for three years, saying Biden has not done enough.
00:01:42.940They've been going down the border, having press conferences there.
00:01:45.340Now there's a chance to do something. Yeah, maybe not go as far as you want, but potentially do something.
00:01:49.360And that is the argument that a lot of the Republican senators have been making who have been supporting this,
00:01:53.700including Senator James Lankford, who was on the Sunday shows this morning, pushing back on the GOP criticism.
00:02:01.520Now it's interesting. A few months later, when we're finally getting to the end, they're like, oh, just kidding.
00:02:05.480I actually don't want to change in law because it's a presidential election year.
00:02:08.700There are a number of us who won't be looking to third parties in assessing the propriety of passing this bipartisan proposal.
00:02:19.680I just reject the idea that we should reserve a crisis for a better time to solve it.
00:02:25.540I don't see how we have a better story to tell when we miss the one opportunity we have to fix it.
00:02:30.520I mean, Republicans were united over the border. Now they're divided over it.
00:02:34.700They are. And I mean, to Molly's point, I think that this could very well end up playing well for Biden,
00:02:40.940because even if a Senate deal is reached, once it reaches the House,
00:02:46.660House Republicans appear ready to just kill it, as everyone has reported.
00:02:50.340And if they kill it, which maybe will make progressives happy, it allows President Biden to say on the campaign trail,
00:02:56.320I was willing to concede a lot because he was willing to concede so much in this border deal that the left flank is really angry at him.
00:03:03.200You know, they essentially feel as though he's totally changing, potentially in this deal, asylum law,
00:03:08.400which, you know, is a right right now under U.S. law for migrants, whether they're entering at a port of entry or entering between ports of entry.
00:03:16.540It's a right that they have to claim. And this law, this bipartisan deal would potentially totally change that.
00:03:22.980So it's big concessions on Biden's part. And it allows him to to essentially make that argument against Trump.
00:03:28.500This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:36.040Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:41.220Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:03:45.540The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that.
00:03:48.880I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:03:52.620And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega Media.
00:03:57.580I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:04:03.020Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:04:06.780If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:04:12.960It's Monday, 29 January in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:04:23.880We're live at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:04:27.940We're here for the Restoring National Confidence Conference put on by Charlie Kirk and the great team at Turning Point USA.
00:04:35.320We're here for the next two days to go through exactly how we close in the deal of President Trump's massive, massive victory.
00:04:42.960This November, riding shotgun with me today is going to be Raheem Kassam.
00:04:47.720Since it is 7 a.m. here on the West Coast, it was a little too early for Raheem to get in hair and makeup.
00:04:52.360So Raheem's going to be doing it by Skype.
00:05:28.200In what world are we going to pass a bill that is going to be dependent upon, all actions dependent upon, is dependent upon Mayorkas, who the file on impeachment, the articles of impeachment for Mayorkas just got leaked over the weekend or filed over the weekend.
00:05:49.420We've got a team at the border today we're going to be talking to.
00:05:52.200Tell me how this bill – and they just said that this is the toughest bill.
00:05:56.100This bill is nothing more than codifying the invasion of the United States of America.
00:06:01.480And it's specifically here – that bill will destroy the African-American working-class community, the Hispanic citizens of the United States working-class community.
00:06:10.460They will give six or seven million invaders work permits immediately.
00:08:29.760And I'm very happy that my articles of impeachment are receiving a vote on Tuesday in my homeland security committee.
00:08:37.560It's pretty outrageous that I had to go to such an extent to get these articles for a vote.
00:08:43.420Back in November, I forced a floor vote on the House floor, forcing Congress to take a vote on these articles of impeachment against Mayorkas.
00:08:53.940I just heard you guys talking about the very fact that Democrats and Republicans holding hands together in a border surrender deal that would allow 5,000 illegal immigrants to come in our country.
00:09:06.200And they want to call this a deal and a win for the country.
00:10:10.840This bill, to be executed, is Mayorkas.
00:10:14.600The 5,000 per day is still Mayorkas' decision of how to execute.
00:10:17.900At the same time, the federal government is suing at the Supreme Court, the state of Texas, and threatening to cut down the razor wire to allow more invaders in.
00:10:28.200How do we have the federal government taking on the state of Texas, trying to let more invaders in?
00:10:32.800Mayorkas, who's being impeached by your committee, is the guy that executes everything on their bill.
00:10:37.620And they're looking at the American people in the eye and saying, oh, this is the toughest bill that's ever been coming forward to secure the border.
00:11:35.300And so when they stand on TV and say Republicans don't want to secure the border, when Joe Biden says Republicans don't want to give me money to secure the border, they are flat-out lying.
00:11:46.340They want a global invasion of America.
00:11:49.080That's what they've been doing since they started.
00:11:51.560And we are doing everything we can possibly to stop it.
00:11:55.560And that includes impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:11:58.360MTG, over the weekend, it was released, I think, by The Telegraph in London, a $40 million massive stealing of American taxpayer money in Ukraine by defense officials.
00:12:12.140$40 million for fake artillery vouchers they put in and got paid for.
00:12:17.440There's rumors there's billions of dollars that the Ukrainian government has stolen.
00:12:22.400At the same time, we have carrier battle groups up with troops, and we have troops who just got shelled, three dead, dozens wounded by the Persians up on the Jordanian-Syrian border.
00:12:31.700Why are we putting carrier battle groups, sending money to Ukraine?
00:12:35.060We have troops up on Jordan-Syria border and no troops and no carrier battle groups down in the Gulf of Mexico on the southern border.
00:12:42.380Why do we protect other borders and not our own?
00:12:44.780Well, they don't care about our border.
00:13:33.900The only war that we care about is the one at our southern border, and that's the one that our military should be posted up on to stop the invasion into America.
00:13:42.580But Joe Biden is going to lead us into World War III, Steve, and none of this would have ever happened if we had President Trump in the White House.
00:13:52.800MTG, how can people track you on social media?
00:17:22.660Carrie Lake, who is beloved throughout the country, MAGA superstar, Iowa, New Hampshire, big surrogate, probably the president's most important surrogate.
00:17:30.260And there was a lot of passion, tension, anger.
00:17:35.740I've never seen Carrie Lake booed anywhere.
00:17:37.780Why is she booed in Arizona, her home state?
00:17:40.080So the Republican Party of Arizona is divided.
00:17:45.640And two weeks prior to the state party election was the Maricopa County party election.
00:17:51.940And at the Maricopa County party election, one group in our kind of schism won all those races.
00:17:58.740And so when we got to the state party election, the group that did not prevail at the county was upset.
00:18:07.680And they, I think that they viewed the endorsements and what happened with Chairman DeWitt and just kind of the rapid back and forth over like a 72-hour period, they put that on Carrie.
00:18:23.340Like, I mean, whether people think that's fair or not, I think that's what they had in their mind.
00:18:27.120Did you guys work it out through the day?
00:18:29.320Because she came up early and took the incoming.
00:18:31.800Have you guys started the process of healing?
00:18:34.920Look, if we don't win Arizona, we're not going to win the presidency and we're not going to win the Senate.
00:29:35.240Which one-backed group do you believe was responsible, and how did this drone reach this facility where it could endanger these American lives, killing three, but also, we should note, wounding some seriously up to two or three dozen more?
00:29:53.480We're still working out the details of, like, how this drone got through and how it was able to actually target what, in essence, was a barracks building.
00:30:03.520And given the hour upon which this attack occurred, you know, these troops were mostly in their beds and asleep.
00:30:13.420So we're still working out the details of exactly how this happened and how it occurred.
00:30:18.460As for attribution, again, we're still working our way through the intelligence on this as well.
00:30:24.020Clearly, it has all the earmarks of a group or groups that are supported by Qatab Hezbollah, which is one of the big IRGC-funded, supported, and resource groups that operates in Iraq and Syria.
00:30:36.360Again, it has all the earmarks of that, but we're still working our way through it.
00:35:24.760Yeah, look, this area, it's called Tower 22.
00:35:27.000It's located 22 miles south of Al-Tamf garrison, which we've had for about 20 years in southern Syria.
00:35:32.960And the reason this post exists is because of the humanitarian refugee crisis that Jordan has allowed to exist in this country,
00:35:39.060because the world just keeps shipping refugees down there and expects the U.S. to monitor them.
00:35:43.220And the answer to your question about why didn't we defend and why didn't we see it coming is because Joe Biden has deprioritized intelligence collection matters for the protection of our troops and counterinsurgencies that attack our American troops and American locations like this one.
00:35:58.440When you have a secretary of defense who is bedridden for five weeks, who doesn't show up to work, who lies to the world, and gets his chairman of joint chiefs of staff to lie to the president with him,
00:36:07.060and they care more about DEI and white rage than they do about terrorists, like we did in the Trump administration, American soldiers die.
00:36:14.020And I'd like to remind the world, we lost two Navy Special Warfare operators two weeks ago, another three service members in this attack,
00:36:22.700five service members killed wearing American cloth, and 145 bombing attacks on American military installations.
00:36:37.580You can defend, like the carrier battle group in the Red Sea, you can defend for incoming.
00:36:42.800He's taking offensive capabilities, and, of course, the forever war warmongers like Lindsey Graham are sitting there going bomb, you know, bomb the Persian capital of Tehran right now.
00:36:51.540When are the Republicans going to force Joe Biden?
00:36:54.520You even have Tim Kaine and Democrats saying, hey, this is just not defensive anymore.
00:37:25.700I think that there's some people in Congress that are trying to make the right moves to protect our soldiers, which is of paramount importance.
00:37:34.260Without a good commander in chief like Donald Trump, courageous enough to have our troops back and collect the intelligence necessary to conduct the operations you're talking about, you are going to senselessly send more Americans to murder by terrorists and other senseless actions of violence because you are going to seeking headlines instead of posturing for war footing, which you can't do retroactively.
00:37:55.540You can't undo the last three years by saying, oh, we're going to go collect a few bombs and drop them.
00:38:01.560You remember the last time they did that in Afghanistan?
00:38:04.100They drone struck Mark Milley, Secretary Austin and Joe Biden drone struck seven children, seven children because they thought they killed a network that blew up 13 Americans because of their disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:38:17.600They tried to reverse engineer national security and innocent children got killed.
00:38:21.700On top of that, we're losing American soldiers now.
00:38:24.040So I don't have any faith in this institution or structure to issue a national command authority that protects Americans and Americans to soldiers.
00:39:09.780In fact, we wound down out of three wars.
00:39:12.360And we also had an intel-based withdrawal plan in Afghanistan that I'm proud to say we led that led to zero U.S. casualties, and we handed that off to Joe Biden.
00:39:21.080And the reason that happened is because Donald Trump had the WASTA on the world stage to go to these leaders and shut this stuff down.
00:39:27.140We also ran some great operations covertly and overtly against our enemy.
00:39:32.180And here's something that I probably haven't talked about.
00:39:34.020You know what we did in the Donald Trump administration?
00:39:35.860On the back of my board in the National Security Council where I led the counterterrorism programs, we wiped out 98 percent of al-Qaeda senior leadership, the emirs of ISIS, and Soleimani.
00:39:45.420I had X's going across these charts that people never thought could possibly happen, and Donald Trump said, go get it done.
00:39:53.900And that's why there wasn't any wars or senseless acts of violence against children or U.S. soldiers.
00:39:58.260And that's the difference when you actually have a commander-in-chief who gets after the fight rather than one who sleeps through it and has a secretary of defense in his bedside collecting intelligence to talk about white rage.
00:40:10.060President Trump took down the caliphate, took down the physical caliphate of ISIS, wanted dead or alive.
00:40:56.160People, the first time I heard President Trump, we're going to get to it later, this bizarre thing about the caucus, which President Trump's going to win, going away versus this bogus Nikki primary.
00:48:42.720Well, Steve, I hate to disagree with the luminaries at the New York Post, who on their cover this morning decided to put the deaths of our honored dead in the Middle East, the lower half of the cover, and present their upper half of the cover to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
00:49:05.320But for myself, looking at this strike, which occurred over the weekend, I was on the phone with a lot of sources about this.
00:49:13.920Texting, calling, secure comms, et cetera, that this is most likely what we've seen, the very first deaths from kamikaze drones known as one-ways.
00:49:25.900So the first deaths we've seen from one-ways of U.S. troops in all of U.S. history.
00:49:30.260This was an emplacement called Tower 22, which is just on the Jordanian side of the Jordanian-Syrian border.
00:49:38.160This is an area where there's a lot of, there's an IDP camp there, so displaced persons camp there, basically a refugee camp of people who fled from ISIS.
00:49:48.780But, of course, there's also people who are members of ISIS within the camp.
00:50:00.400This thing either got around radar or under radar.
00:50:03.580Why do we have, you've got to help us out here.
00:50:06.420Why is the federal government cutting the razor wire down in Texas to let more invaders into the country, yet we have troops on the Jordanian-Syrian border?
00:50:17.080Explain how many troops, why do we have them there, why are they sleeping there?
00:50:20.880I understand they're hit by kamikazes, which you're going to explain to us what a kamikaze is, a drone.
00:50:25.140But why, what is the task and purpose of American troops on this border when the troops he sent into the American border in Texas are cutting razor wire to let the invaders in quicker?
00:50:43.380They're human shields there because they believe that they're preventing Iran from, you know, the Shia militia groups having a foothold in the region.
00:50:52.520Of course, this is also the same area where ISIS broke out about a decade ago.
00:50:56.520But what they really are, Steve, is they're human shields.
00:51:13.660The ADAs, these one-way drones, they'll be using them to complete annihilation.
00:51:18.500And the fact that our people are sitting in harm's way, Steve, unfortunately, this was the first time we've lost troops to kamikaze drones.
00:51:26.180It will not be the last as long as they're still there.
