A federal judge ruled that the government violated his order to turn over two deportation flights carrying illegal immigrants headed to a mega prison in El Paso, Texas, to be transferred to a facility in El Salvador. The government argues that the judge erred in his order and that he acted in bad faith.
00:00:00.000All right, we turn now to the Trump administration's standoff with a federal judge, U.S. District
00:00:21.120Judge James Bosberg, now saying that the government appears to have acted in bad faith.
00:00:25.560This comes after the hearing wrapped just moments ago to determine whether or not the government violated his court order to stop the deportation flights,
00:00:34.680two of them, with alleged members of a gang to a mega prison in El Salvador.
00:00:40.860President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month.
00:00:43.920It's a wartime authority used to deport non-citizens with little to no due process by arguing that the Venezuelan gang is a, quote,
00:00:51.220hybrid criminal state that he says is invading the country.

00:31:25.680In the war room, here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:31:33.400Julie, this gets back to this issue we were talking about in an understaffed administration that's under siege because they're coming at them from every different way, folks.
00:31:45.080It's actually more intense, I think, than the first time because President Trump's actually getting more – he's coming up with a plan, bang, bang, bang, and they're trying to chop block him at every step.
00:31:54.920But is the controversy about Jensen the fact of why don't you just get rid of these guys, the – I guess cash of the people, FBI and just want to get rid of them because they had past bad actors.
00:32:07.480But you, Fenton, and Miranda are arguing – you're arguing, hey, he may have relevant information, and that information may make things quicker.
00:32:16.820They're arguing he's a bad guy because he worked for these guys, and where do we come out on this?
00:32:23.440Is it more that we've got to get investigations done and people like this help us, or that if they had anything to do with January 6th and other things like that, they should just be gotten rid of and maybe charged themselves?
00:32:36.020Well, and I want to just reiterate, Steve Jensen's hands are dirty January 6th.
00:32:41.440Yes, there's, in some cases, in some ways, dirtier than others because he did take a lead role.
00:32:51.920But when you're looking for people who know where the dead bodies are buried, who knows where this information could be housed, who can explain how everything went down and who was really responsible for it, you have to have those inside sources to do that.
00:33:08.220And so, look, I was defund the FBI, you know, burned down the building.
00:33:14.860I mean, I don't think I said that, so I don't want to be in trouble for that.
00:33:17.780But that was when the Democrats were running it.
00:33:26.320OK, I'm sure we can survive without it.
00:33:28.920But with it goes all the answers to the questions that we have.
00:33:32.160How many FBI informants and undercover employees and other assets were involved in January 6th stoking the events of that day?
00:33:40.220You saw Joe Kent so admirably talk to Mark, Senator Mark Kelly about that yesterday and saying that the intelligence community is looking into that.
00:34:39.380Let me ask, does the president signing the executive order on Krebs last night to essentially put forward an investigation of the machines in the 2020 election?
00:34:49.500Is that the first one that we've seen that let's get down to it?
00:34:53.100Because I've always said the railhead of all this gets back to 2020, you know, the election in 2020.
00:34:58.780We can go back to pandemic and there's plenty to do there.
00:35:01.180But if we start the election in 2020, that would be a good place to start and then go right through January 6th.
00:35:06.680Do you think he's signing the executive order on Krebs is at least the first thing of movement we've seen with the president saying, let's get on with this?
00:35:14.500And I need to see some movement here, some action.
00:35:32.720And I'm going to be posting some of the things that he said in this interview, including that the Iranians were working with the Proud Boys in October of 2020 to send out emails to people who are registered Democrats.
00:35:46.900And threatening them if they voted Democrat.
00:35:50.200This is the most far-fetched thing I've seen.
00:35:54.320And I have to laugh because, of course, I know who the Proud Boys are.
00:36:12.120And so I'm going to be posting parts of that transcript later tonight.
00:36:15.880But I do think that this is another signal from the president and his team that they are going to, and, of course, he said this, look at the 2020 election, what happened there, but more importantly, who covered up all of the fraud that we know happened and whitewashed it away and would not take responsibility for looking into what we know was decisive voting fraud in that election.
00:36:45.680So I think Chris Krebs is a very, is an ideal person to launch this investigation about.
00:37:37.060I want to have Forrest Cho here because I'm not quite sure that people still maybe get to the depth of where we are right now with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:37:53.020And you and I swapped some text messages earlier because I kind of know and I really like your perspective and what you're doing over the new federal state.
00:38:02.160The daily news briefings you put up, I think, are just spectacular.
00:38:05.300Just walk the American people through.
00:38:07.180This is not about tariffs and it's not about trade.
00:38:10.760This is a much, much deeper, deeper and I think a chasm that's unbridgeable between the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America and the Chinese Communist Party, Forrest, sir.
00:38:28.140This is definitely a war between the good and evil.
00:38:32.760And first of all, I would like to see this probably is the greatest movement that led by the President Trump to anti-Chinese Communist Party.
00:38:42.540I really applaud the move that President Trump just made.
00:38:48.740I think the key here is to counter Chinese Communist Party is we need to find out who is our real enemy.
00:38:56.460Of course, that's Chinese Communist Party.
00:38:58.680The other countries might be it's our competitors.
00:39:30.240I would like our audience to understand this.
00:39:33.920So I think what I just said, the President Trump tried to ally with the European country and also probably market-driven countries in Asia, like Japan, like Taiwan, like Vietnam, to work with Americans to counter Chinese Communist Party.
00:39:53.380Of course, the Chinese Communist Party has their weakness, which we can talk about here.
00:39:59.640Their biggest weakness is their state-owned enterprises.
00:40:05.640The state-owned enterprises contribute like a significant part of the Chinese Communist Party's GDP.
00:40:17.700Back in 2019, almost 30 percent of the GDP is contributed by those SOEs.
00:40:25.620After the pandemic, this number rose to more than 40, even 50 percent.
00:40:30.180That tells you how much economy is relying on those state-owned enterprises.
00:40:37.860But those state-owned enterprises, they are heavily relying on the monetary policy, meaning if there is any fluctuation in the currency, they will have trouble.
00:40:49.200Because all their employees is relying on their wages, if there is any fluctuation in the currency, or if the RMB devalues, then it will impact their purchasing power.
00:42:21.460So if this decoupling happens, if there is devaluation of the Chinese yen, then they will have internal change, which will undermine or dismantle the Chinese Communist Party.
00:42:40.580The SOEs, people should understand, the state-owned industries was one of the major points of contention in the Lighthizer 2019 deal.
00:42:48.760The reason Wang Shishan told Xi – I don't know what Li Hu did, but we basically put massive restrictions on state-owned industries.
00:42:58.820They couldn't be used as money laundering operation because this is where a major way the Chinese Communist Party leadership cadre is skimming money from the Chinese people, from La Beijing, and investing it in American real estate.
00:43:10.900All of their children, the princelings, virtually anyone that's just not too lazy and wants to party all the time in Beijing, but the ones that have any get-up-and-go all go to American universities.
00:43:21.840Their goal is to get their kids Western educated and to get their money they steal from Lao Beijing and not put it in real estate in Shanghai.
00:44:10.060This is a set of – this is like the Bolsheviks and this is like the group around Hitler and the Nazis.
00:44:14.780These are basically criminal organizations that come to power and they come to power basically by a barrel of a gun or violence, OK?
00:44:23.700And they're not just going to give it up.
00:44:25.780Number one, they understand what the Chinese people will do to them if they just give – if all the stealing and the murder and the forced abortions, everything that they visited on these people, the paybacks are going to be unbelievable.
00:44:37.620So they're just not going to sit there and go – that's why this is so much deeper than just a trade deal.
00:44:44.760This cuts to the heart of two different systems and a system that has been propped up and basically financed off of the money of the American working people and middle class that now are at a time of testing.
00:44:57.120We've got to go, but your daily news site is fantastic.
00:45:01.260I try to re-put these things up on Getter.
00:45:03.300Right now, what is the one thing as this thing evolves every day that you would tell our audience to be looking out for, Forrest?
00:45:11.720Looking out for the – I think the coupling and also the action that this administration needs to do because I believe this administration needed to start the investigation.
00:45:22.780As your previous guest just mentioned, we need to launch the investigation about the COVID-19 virus origin.
00:45:31.520We have to, you know, hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable and also the media who help them to cover up the origin of the COVID-19, right?
00:45:41.240Right now, they are helping the Chinese Communist Party to spread all this tariff things with hurting Americans.
00:45:48.260But we have to hold them accountable for covering up the COVID-19 virus thing.
00:46:30.920And Tulsi Gabbard, didn't she come out and say that, hey, DNI is finding out where machines were tampered with?
00:46:38.360Is this – am I hearing this is true?
00:46:40.640Remember, I'm not a machine guy, but I think I'm going to be proven wrong, sir.
00:46:45.240Yeah, you're going to be proven wrong, Steve.
00:46:47.780You know, everybody, if you look at the deviations in behavior by uniparty Republicans and people like Chris Krebs, when you look back when Chris Krebs said this is the most secure election ever, you knew that was a lie.
00:47:02.240And all this is going to unfold and be uncovered, and it's a day of vindication.
00:47:07.460You have gamblers coming out and saying all that, that the machines, that they're vulnerable and that they – now they haven't come completely out and said, hey, this was hacked.
00:47:17.660But the investigations that we have going forward and that this administration is going to be doing, it's going to be awesome, Steve.
00:47:25.520You will be – we will be melting down these machines and turning them into prison bars hopefully this year.
00:47:34.020So what is the – the investigation of Krebs, is that what's kicking this off?
00:47:38.280Is Tulsi's coming from a different internal investigation she's doing over at DNI with the different intelligence services and really the guys that look at platforms?
00:47:46.480I think they're both coming from different directions.
00:47:49.840I think the executive order with Krebs, you know, one coming in from, I think, the president and that team.
00:47:57.360And then you have – I think they're definitely from both two different directions.
00:48:01.740And you're going to see more of that, too.
00:48:03.440You're going to see all different directions.
