Transcript

00:00:00.000 Today on Off the Cuff Declassified,
00:00:02.180 the Supreme Court upholds Donald Trump's travel ban
00:00:05.280 and liberals are hysterical.
00:00:08.540 Opioids can be weaponized.
00:00:11.380 I'm gonna tell you all about it.
00:00:13.300 Dangerous, dangerous stuff.
00:00:15.280 And last night's primaries yielded some interesting results.
00:00:19.400 Most interesting, a socialist unseated
00:00:22.780 a 10-term incumbent congressman in New York City.
00:00:30.000 So, liberals are losing their minds
00:00:34.920 as the Supreme Court upholds Trump's travel ban.
00:00:38.220 Now, I mean, they've really become unhinged.
00:00:40.320 Twitter and Facebook apparently graduated law schools yesterday
00:00:43.260 and they're all explaining why brilliant, giant legal minds
00:00:47.180 like John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito are wrong.
00:00:51.900 Apparently, the Twitter law school graduates know better.
00:00:54.920 Supreme Court upheld the ban and it was no surprise
00:00:57.560 because the president's authority on immigration
00:00:59.700 is, well, pretty absolute.
00:01:02.860 That's really never been in dispute.
00:01:05.320 Now, CNN is predictably trying to do an objective analysis.
00:01:10.280 I love going to CNN for these stories.
00:01:14.100 And they started with,
00:01:14.960 the ruling was 5-4 along partisan lines.
00:01:18.220 Well, yeah, the liberals on the court ignored the law.
00:01:21.500 The conservatives led by John Roberts followed the law
00:01:24.740 with Chief Justice John Roberts writing for the conservative majority.
00:01:28.320 Now, we've long known, we've quoted the United States Code on this.
00:01:33.580 The United States Code, I'll paraphrase,
00:01:35.440 it essentially gives the president the power
00:01:37.760 to approve or deny anyone's admission to the United States.
00:01:41.960 But liberals don't like the black and white rule of law.
00:01:45.420 They just don't like it.
00:01:46.360 They've never liked it.
00:01:47.240 They want to rule, to govern on a motion.
00:01:52.980 They want judges to rule.
00:01:54.500 Our elected representatives don't rule, they govern.
00:01:57.360 They represent.
00:01:58.460 Judges hand down rulings.
00:02:00.400 And they want both.
00:02:01.440 They want the elected representatives
00:02:02.920 and the executive and the legislature
00:02:05.360 to govern on a motion.
00:02:07.340 They want judges to rule on a motion
00:02:09.980 when all three should be governing and ruling on law,
00:02:13.180 which is exactly what is going on.
00:02:15.740 Now, when the Trump administration,
00:02:19.120 when any administration looked at these proposals,
00:02:22.620 Trump administration deployed this proposal of a travel ban
00:02:26.360 from predominantly Muslim countries.
00:02:30.300 But not only Muslim countries,
00:02:32.680 because North Korea is one of the countries
00:02:36.480 named in the travel ban.
00:02:38.080 But this is not a Muslim ban.
00:02:40.940 Okay, the countries are Venezuela.
00:02:42.160 Venezuela is one of the countries named.
00:02:44.220 A predominantly Christian nation.
00:02:46.280 This is not a Muslim ban.
00:02:48.420 So the nations, the seven nations of concern
00:02:51.140 that were listed in the ban
00:02:52.820 were Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, North Korea.
00:02:56.920 Only five of them predominantly Muslim nations.
00:03:00.160 Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and Somalia.
00:03:02.680 Venezuela and North Korea were not.
00:03:04.640 So the liberal narrative of Muslim ban
00:03:07.380 was debunked at the outset.
00:03:10.680 Now, Trump was predictably very, very happy.
00:03:15.040 John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion
00:03:20.500 for the conservatives,
00:03:23.040 quote,
00:03:23.360 the proclamation is squarely within the scope
00:03:25.660 of presidential authority.
00:03:27.320 And the statutes and the case law on immigration
00:03:30.300 made that clear.
00:03:33.580 President Trump tweeted immediately
00:03:35.000 after the ruling came down in capital letters,
00:03:37.140 Supreme Court upholds Trump travel ban.
00:03:39.620 Wow.
00:03:40.500 It seems like the president
00:03:41.400 didn't expect the travel ban to be upheld.
00:03:44.480 The president thought
00:03:45.260 they were going to strike it down.
00:03:47.340 President also wrote
00:03:48.300 that the ruling was, quote,
00:03:50.440 a tremendous victory for the American people
00:03:52.620 in the Constitution.
00:03:53.420 The ruling is also a moment
00:03:55.560 of profound vindication
00:03:57.540 following months of hysterical commentary
00:03:59.760 from the media and Democratic politicians
00:04:01.980 who refuse to do what it takes
00:04:03.860 to secure our border and our country.
00:04:06.880 And the president's right.
00:04:08.040 Now, this was the third iteration
00:04:09.380 of the ban, right?
00:04:10.620 This was the previous ones.
00:04:13.160 It bounced back and forth through the courts.
00:04:14.720 Now, an unintended consequence
00:04:17.220 of the Supreme Court's ruling
00:04:18.760 is that it further calls into question
00:04:22.160 and it further questions the credibility
00:04:24.900 of Mueller's investigation.
00:04:26.720 Well, how can that be?
00:04:28.240 How am I getting from the travel ban
00:04:30.040 to Mueller's investigation?
00:04:31.660 Well, pretty simply
00:04:33.580 and in a pretty straight line.
00:04:35.700 If you recall,
00:04:36.680 when Sally Yates was acting attorney general,
00:04:40.440 big Never Trumper,
00:04:42.060 a hold into the last administration,
00:04:43.620 she refused to uphold the travel ban
00:04:47.800 and Trump fired her
00:04:49.020 and there was tremendous backlash on the left
00:04:51.720 for Trump firing Sally Yates
00:04:53.580 while the Supreme Court vindicated Trump.
00:04:57.200 Sally Yates was wrong.
00:04:58.240 Trump was right.
00:04:59.340 The travel ban was legal and constitutional.
00:05:01.780 Sally Yates' refusal to carry it out
00:05:04.560 was a defiance of authority.
00:05:07.040 It was a failure to direct and obey order,
00:05:10.980 a legal lawful order
00:05:12.080 from her boss.
00:05:13.880 She should have been fired.
00:05:15.300 More importantly,
00:05:16.220 Andrew Weissman,
00:05:17.560 who's Mueller's number two,
00:05:18.800 his deputy,
00:05:19.340 he's chief prosecutor,
00:05:20.280 his chief bulldog,
00:05:21.000 Andrew Weissman's a guy
00:05:21.720 I profiled on the show.
00:05:23.400 He has had decades of problems
00:05:26.480 with exculpatory evidence
00:05:27.520 and spanked down by many judges.
00:05:29.040 It's all public record.
00:05:31.000 Andrew Weissman wrote to Sally Yates
00:05:33.400 at the time
00:05:34.260 and said,
00:05:35.720 I'm in awe.
00:05:36.640 I'm so proud.
00:05:37.960 Things like that
00:05:38.520 about her defying Trump.
00:05:40.160 This is the guy
00:05:41.560 who is really
00:05:43.460 Mueller's
00:05:44.260 chief operations officer.
00:05:46.080 This is the guy
00:05:46.500 who's really the,
00:05:47.580 he's the Andrew McCabe
00:05:49.340 or the Rod Rosenstein
00:05:50.840 of the Mueller investigation,
00:05:52.220 the very active
00:05:54.100 and proactive
00:05:54.840 number two prosecutor.
00:05:56.680 He was in awe
00:05:58.000 and proud of
00:05:59.100 Sally Yates
00:06:00.140 who defied Trump
00:06:02.400 by refusing to carry out
00:06:04.520 a lawful
00:06:05.280 constitutional order
00:06:06.760 to uphold the travel ban,
00:06:07.800 something the United States
00:06:09.120 Supreme Court did.
00:06:10.620 Just one more now
00:06:12.160 in the coffin
00:06:13.000 of Mueller's investigation.
00:06:15.020 Now,
00:06:15.780 I'm going to read
00:06:16.620 a couple of details
00:06:18.200 from the CNN piece.
00:06:19.820 Challengers,
00:06:20.780 including the state of Hawaii,
00:06:22.120 argued that the travel ban
00:06:23.160 exceeded the president's authority
00:06:24.640 under immigration law
00:06:25.720 and the Constitution.
00:06:27.220 They also used
00:06:28.740 Trump's statements
00:06:29.460 during the campaign
00:06:30.200 when he called for a ban
00:06:31.120 on travel
00:06:31.620 from all Muslim
00:06:32.340 majority countries.
00:06:33.860 But Roberts,
00:06:34.580 Chief Justice John Roberts,
00:06:35.700 dismissed those concerns.
00:06:36.460 Roberts says,
00:06:38.340 quote,
00:06:38.720 Plaintiffs argue
00:06:39.740 that this president's words
00:06:41.120 strike at fundamental standards
00:06:42.420 of respect and tolerance
00:06:43.520 in violation
00:06:44.820 of our constitutional tradition.
00:06:47.940 But the issue before us
00:06:49.880 is not whether
00:06:51.200 to denounce the statements.
00:06:52.600 It is instead
00:06:53.800 the significance
00:06:54.860 of those statements
00:06:56.120 in reviewing
00:06:56.620 a presidential directive
00:06:58.120 neutral on its face,
00:07:00.660 addressing a matter
00:07:01.460 within the core
00:07:02.140 of executive responsibility.
00:07:04.620 In doing so,
00:07:05.480 we must consider
00:07:06.740 not only the statements
00:07:07.740 of a particular president,
00:07:09.200 but also the authority
00:07:11.020 of the presidency itself.
00:07:13.900 In other words,
00:07:14.740 the legal and constitutional
00:07:16.260 authority of the presidency
00:07:17.700 far outweighs
00:07:19.740 any statement
00:07:21.120 an individual president makes.
00:07:22.540 You can't scrap
00:07:23.920 the historical authority
00:07:25.760 of the presidency.
00:07:27.040 It's been there
00:07:27.940 since the late 1700s.
00:07:30.080 And it'll be there
00:07:30.980 long after we're all gone.
00:07:32.680 You don't toss that out
00:07:34.360 for the statements
00:07:35.980 at a rally,
00:07:37.400 extemporaneous,
00:07:38.300 off the cuff,
00:07:39.180 of one president
00:07:40.580 for one brief,
00:07:43.140 and I mean
00:07:43.520 a few seconds,
00:07:44.700 a few minutes,
00:07:45.880 time in history.
00:07:47.440 And that's what I meant
00:07:49.240 when I said earlier
00:07:50.060 the left wants
00:07:51.460 governing and rule
00:07:52.920 on a motion,
00:07:54.420 on changing
00:07:55.600 hundreds,
00:07:56.140 if not thousands,
00:07:56.940 of years
00:07:57.280 of legal precedent.
00:07:58.780 If this nation
00:08:00.000 goes on
00:08:00.520 for thousands of years,
00:08:02.020 the left
00:08:02.400 would have wanted
00:08:03.240 policy law
00:08:05.100 fundamentally changed
00:08:06.080 for a split
00:08:07.380 millisecond in time.
00:08:09.360 Luckily,
00:08:09.940 the conservatives
00:08:10.760 on the court
00:08:11.440 saw how asinine
00:08:12.840 that was
00:08:13.220 and didn't
00:08:14.300 succumb to it.
00:08:17.000 Now,
00:08:17.920 CNN Supreme Court
00:08:18.720 analyst Stephen Vladeck,
00:08:20.260 and he's a law professor
00:08:21.060 at University of Texas
00:08:21.920 School of Law,
00:08:23.640 called the ruling
00:08:24.160 a big win
00:08:24.860 for the White House.
00:08:25.560 He said,
00:08:25.940 quote,
00:08:26.120 the Supreme Court
00:08:26.760 has reaffirmed
00:08:27.600 the president's
00:08:28.500 sweeping statutory
00:08:29.740 authority when it
00:08:30.400 comes to deciding
00:08:31.120 who may and who
00:08:32.640 may not travel
00:08:33.280 to the United States,
00:08:34.060 something that's
00:08:34.400 long been established
00:08:35.240 and understood.
00:08:36.020 It's only because
00:08:36.820 of Trump derangement
00:08:37.660 syndrome that that
00:08:39.220 was called in a
00:08:39.740 question.
00:08:40.860 Authority that both
00:08:41.820 President Trump
00:08:42.640 and future presidents,
00:08:44.540 huge as a CNN
00:08:45.220 analyst,
00:08:46.160 and future presidents
00:08:48.020 will surely rely
00:08:49.220 upon to justify
00:08:50.140 more aggressive
00:08:51.140 immigration restrictions.
00:08:54.040 Now,
00:08:54.720 CNN,
00:08:55.420 of course,
00:08:56.080 had a caveat by saying,
00:08:57.020 well,
00:08:57.260 remember,
00:08:57.700 this is the third
00:08:58.260 iteration of the band
00:08:59.180 and they had to make
00:09:00.180 significant changes.
00:09:01.280 But when you review
00:09:03.060 the first two iterations,
00:09:04.700 the changes weren't
00:09:05.280 all that significant.
00:09:06.100 There were minor tweaks.
00:09:07.320 There were minor,
00:09:07.940 minor tweaks.
00:09:09.060 Now,
00:09:09.180 an interesting byproduct
00:09:10.560 of this case
00:09:11.640 was that the
00:09:13.700 Korematsu decision
00:09:15.260 was overturned.
00:09:16.000 Now,
00:09:16.180 if you don't know
00:09:16.760 what Korematsu was,
00:09:17.820 Korematsu was a decision
00:09:19.320 in 1944
00:09:20.420 in which the court
00:09:22.920 upheld
00:09:24.220 the constitutionality
00:09:26.040 of internment camps
00:09:28.260 for Japanese Americans.
00:09:31.220 Yeah.
00:09:32.180 See,
00:09:32.340 the Supreme Court
00:09:33.140 upheld that
00:09:34.200 back then.
00:09:35.720 And who instituted
00:09:37.860 that policy?
00:09:39.700 Who deployed
00:09:40.960 those internment camps?
00:09:42.340 Well,
00:09:42.600 none other than
00:09:43.200 liberal icon
00:09:44.020 Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
00:09:45.520 In fact,
00:09:46.320 there was a great irony
00:09:47.540 on Twitter
00:09:48.980 in that a far-left
00:09:50.040 writer,
00:09:50.680 I forget his name now,
00:09:52.040 I'm going to dig back
00:09:52.960 through a thousand tweets,
00:09:54.060 who was excoriating
00:09:55.120 Trump
00:09:56.000 and excoriating
00:09:57.180 the court
00:09:57.660 and he was railing
00:09:59.860 about the only good thing
00:10:01.040 the court did
00:10:03.320 was strike down
00:10:04.100 Korematsu
00:10:04.700 while at his Twitter
00:10:05.460 header picture
00:10:06.060 it was FDR.
00:10:07.780 So he was
00:10:08.600 excoriating
00:10:09.600 the United States
00:10:10.100 for Korematsu
00:10:10.780 while he had a,
00:10:11.920 he was glorifying
00:10:12.880 the guy that actually
00:10:13.840 put the policy
00:10:14.900 in a place,
00:10:15.580 Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
00:10:17.480 And this is the first time,
00:10:19.700 the first time
00:10:20.900 in which
00:10:21.900 the Supreme Court
00:10:22.620 ever struck down
00:10:24.160 a pre-existing
00:10:25.060 decision like this.
00:10:26.660 Now,
00:10:26.900 Sonia Sotomayor,
00:10:27.800 a far lefty on the court,
00:10:29.180 wrote a scathing dissent.
00:10:30.700 Let me read your part.
00:10:32.320 Quote,
00:10:32.900 the majority here,
00:10:34.280 which means on the court,
00:10:35.200 completely sets aside
00:10:36.140 the president's
00:10:36.760 charged statements
00:10:37.380 about Muslims
00:10:38.060 as irrelevant.
00:10:39.500 That holding
00:10:40.400 erodes
00:10:41.020 the foundational principles
00:10:42.380 of religious tolerance
00:10:43.380 that the court
00:10:44.600 elsewhere
00:10:45.100 has so emphatically
00:10:46.520 protected.
00:10:47.660 And it tells
00:10:48.460 members of minority
00:10:49.640 religions in our country
00:10:50.780 that they are outsiders,
00:10:52.360 not full members
00:10:53.440 of the political
00:10:54.500 community.
00:10:56.200 That's not true,
00:10:57.340 though.
00:10:58.000 That's absolutely
00:10:59.080 not true.
00:11:01.440 As I said,
00:11:03.000 the broader
00:11:04.280 decision here
00:11:04.960 was presidential
00:11:05.700 authority.
00:11:07.040 What that authority
00:11:07.860 was long before
00:11:08.940 Donald Trump
00:11:09.680 said those words
00:11:10.760 for a couple of minutes
00:11:11.500 and what that authority
00:11:12.720 will be long after
00:11:14.000 Donald Trump
00:11:15.240 is out of office,
00:11:16.100 long after all of us
00:11:16.940 are gone from this planet.
00:11:19.040 Court made
00:11:19.780 exactly the right
00:11:21.140 decision here.
00:11:22.100 They followed
00:11:22.900 the rule of law.
00:11:23.640 Now, of course,
00:11:24.940 there's always one.
00:11:26.340 There's always one.
00:11:27.200 So a few hours
00:11:28.360 after that happened,
00:11:29.240 a federal judge
00:11:30.180 had to get his name
00:11:31.080 in the news,
00:11:31.520 a federal judge in Texas.
00:11:32.740 I'm sorry,
00:11:33.340 in California.
00:11:34.360 And Dana Sabraw
00:11:37.940 in San Diego
00:11:39.040 ruled that
00:11:40.440 the U.S.
00:11:41.640 Border Patrol
00:11:42.280 has to stop
00:11:43.560 separating families
00:11:44.380 at the border
00:11:44.800 and has to reunite
00:11:45.620 all families
00:11:46.340 within 30 days.
00:11:47.380 Now, this guy's
00:11:47.800 a Bush appointee.
00:11:49.820 He also ruled
00:11:50.900 that the administration
00:11:51.860 has to provide
00:11:53.040 phone contact
00:11:53.940 between parents
00:11:55.080 and children
00:11:55.500 if possible
00:11:56.000 within 10 days.
00:11:57.700 He wrote,
00:11:58.660 Judge Sabraw
00:11:59.420 in California,
00:12:01.220 quote,
00:12:01.380 The facts set forth
00:12:03.020 before the court
00:12:03.980 portray reactive
00:12:04.840 governance responses
00:12:06.260 to address
00:12:06.800 a chaotic circumstance
00:12:08.040 of the government's
00:12:09.380 own making.
00:12:10.580 Well, this isn't true.
00:12:11.800 And I do not suspect
00:12:13.320 this judge's ruling
00:12:14.920 will probably
00:12:15.360 will stand up
00:12:15.900 on appeal
00:12:16.220 because of the liberal
00:12:16.880 courts of appeals.
00:12:20.260 But if this made it
00:12:20.860 to the Supreme Court,
00:12:22.380 I believe
00:12:22.980 their current ruling
00:12:24.560 would supersede
00:12:25.740 this ruling
00:12:26.160 because they've given
00:12:27.480 the president
00:12:27.960 very broad latitude.
00:12:29.820 Now, I'm not a lawyer.
00:12:30.360 I'm not a constitutional lawyer.
00:12:31.380 I spoke to many
00:12:32.180 about this
00:12:33.220 actually this morning.
00:12:35.360 The three,
00:12:35.960 not many,
00:12:36.480 but three of the most
00:12:36.960 knowledgeable I know.
00:12:38.160 And they feel this ruling
00:12:39.220 flies in the face
00:12:40.140 of the Supreme Court ruling.
00:12:41.840 The Supreme Court ruling
00:12:42.560 gives the president
00:12:43.120 authority over immigration,
00:12:45.260 over law enforcement,
00:12:46.240 over those policies.
00:12:47.620 And there is
00:12:48.320 case upon case,
00:12:49.780 thousands upon
00:12:50.400 tens of thousands
00:12:51.380 of thousands of cases
00:12:52.400 here in the U.S.
00:12:53.820 of children being
00:12:54.500 separated from their parents
00:12:55.560 when the parent
00:12:56.820 is incarcerated.
00:12:57.600 We've gone over
00:12:58.040 that ad nauseum.
00:12:59.340 And so this judge,
00:13:00.300 it appears,
00:13:01.120 just wants to throw
00:13:01.760 their hat in the ring
00:13:02.620 as a voice of immigration,
00:13:04.680 wanted to get their name
00:13:05.460 out there in the press.
00:13:06.980 I don't see
00:13:08.040 anything in this judge's ruling
00:13:09.780 that could really hold water,
00:13:11.680 nor did the attorneys
00:13:12.440 I spoke to
00:13:13.000 and one ICE agent
00:13:13.880 I spoke to.
00:13:15.180 But yesterday
00:13:15.880 was not only a big win
00:13:17.140 for Donald Trump,
00:13:17.960 not only a big win
00:13:18.740 for the Trump administration
00:13:19.700 and the Department
00:13:20.200 of Homeland Security,
00:13:21.020 it was a massive win
00:13:23.260 for the United States
00:13:24.320 of America
00:13:24.780 and our sovereignty
00:13:25.720 when the Supreme Court
00:13:27.000 upheld Trump's travel ban
00:13:29.000 and the absolute,
00:13:30.840 I'm going to call it
00:13:31.440 absolute authority
00:13:32.280 of the presidency,
00:13:33.720 no matter who the president is,
00:13:35.120 to decide who can
00:13:36.600 and cannot enter this country.
00:13:38.200 Now, we hear a lot
00:13:50.380 about opioids
00:13:50.940 and they're scary,
00:13:51.680 scary substances.
00:13:52.640 You're hearing about overdoses,
00:13:53.760 the nationwide epidemic.
00:13:54.820 It really is.
00:13:55.660 It really is.
00:13:56.580 People are overdosing.
00:13:58.060 First responders
00:13:58.780 are overdosing
00:13:59.480 via contact.
00:14:00.400 We typically think
00:14:02.600 of the opioid crisis
00:14:03.860 in that context, right?
00:14:05.940 People who are getting
00:14:06.600 addicted to these drugs
00:14:07.620 that are overdosing,
00:14:08.440 getting very sick,
00:14:09.180 dying, costing money
00:14:10.380 with regards to detox
00:14:12.340 and continuing treatment,
00:14:14.260 rehab, things of that nature.
00:14:15.940 We don't think about
00:14:17.280 opioids as weapons.
00:14:18.900 Yeah, weapons.
00:14:19.980 And I'm going to read you
00:14:20.500 a couple of,
00:14:21.500 well, bring you a couple
00:14:22.280 of really scary accounts.
00:14:23.620 Now, out of Houston, Texas,
00:14:25.140 Harris County,
00:14:26.580 fentanyl-laced flyers
00:14:28.580 were placed on
00:14:30.340 Harris County
00:14:31.560 Sheriff's Office
00:14:32.300 patrol cars.
00:14:33.660 A sergeant
00:14:34.360 who was leaving
00:14:34.920 for the day,
00:14:35.520 he had her take-home
00:14:36.220 police vehicle,
00:14:37.500 removes the flyer
00:14:38.300 from the window.
00:14:39.280 We all do that.
00:14:40.480 Every single one of us
00:14:41.860 has gotten a flyer
00:14:42.900 or a postcard
00:14:43.700 or something
00:14:44.180 on our windshield
00:14:45.400 or in our side window
00:14:46.520 and we typically
00:14:47.280 remove it
00:14:48.400 and throw it in the garbage
00:14:49.320 or crumple it up
00:14:50.020 and throw it in the car
00:14:50.700 until we can throw it
00:14:51.280 away somewhere
00:14:51.860 or we let her.
00:14:53.280 I don't like to do that,
00:14:54.260 though.
00:14:55.240 But we never give that
00:14:56.960 a second thought, right?
00:14:57.720 We don't think
00:14:58.020 we're going to put
00:14:58.740 on rubber gloves,
00:14:59.540 nor did this sergeant
00:15:00.480 as she was getting ready
00:15:01.560 to go home for the day
00:15:02.420 after a long shift
00:15:03.340 that looks like a detective
00:15:04.820 because where these flyers
00:15:06.100 were placed
00:15:06.600 on about 15 to 20
00:15:07.600 police vehicles
00:15:08.440 was at the
00:15:09.600 Harris County Sheriff's Office
00:15:10.740 that's Houston, Texas area.
00:15:12.400 Harris County Sheriff's Office
00:15:13.520 Recruitment
00:15:14.940 and Criminal Investigation Building
00:15:16.960 where there are detectives
00:15:18.320 and those who recruit
00:15:19.120 new deputies, civilians
00:15:20.560 into the police department.
00:15:21.760 To me, that seems like
00:15:22.400 a very symbolic placement
00:15:23.860 of those.
00:15:25.260 A more high-profile unit.
00:15:27.180 So, like the rest of us do,
00:15:28.740 she's going home from work,
00:15:29.700 she removes this fly.
00:15:30.860 She soon starts
00:15:31.440 to feel lightheaded
00:15:32.160 and starts showing effects
00:15:33.460 of some kind of exposure.
00:15:37.880 Later determined to be fentanyl
00:15:39.040 when the flyer was tested.
00:15:40.680 She was lightheaded.
00:15:41.420 Now, she was rushed
00:15:42.000 to the hospital.
00:15:42.880 They caught it early enough.
00:15:43.960 She was treated.
00:15:44.540 She was released.
00:15:45.780 She's okay.
00:15:47.260 Harris County Sheriff
00:15:47.860 Ed Gonzalez says
00:15:49.080 that one flyer
00:15:50.320 that was tested,
00:15:50.960 the one she touched,
00:15:52.220 did test positive
00:15:53.600 for fentanyl.
00:15:54.780 15 to 20 others
00:15:55.900 were sent off
00:15:56.520 to the Harris County Crime Lab,
00:15:57.920 their forensic center,
00:16:00.120 for testing.
00:16:01.280 The group that did this
00:16:03.340 promoted an organization,
00:16:04.880 flyers were promoting
00:16:05.560 an organization
00:16:06.160 called Targeted Individuals
00:16:09.340 and this organization
00:16:10.160 believed that the state
00:16:11.240 targets certain people
00:16:13.020 that the FBI
00:16:14.680 and the CIA
00:16:15.180 get together
00:16:15.720 in darkly lit rooms
00:16:17.240 and target certain individuals
00:16:18.460 who criticize the deep state
00:16:19.780 via microwave beams
00:16:21.540 to the head
00:16:22.100 and all these other crazy things
00:16:23.480 that cause brain damage.
00:16:24.740 Now, if that were the case,
00:16:26.280 I'd be long gone.
00:16:27.540 I'd criticize the deep state
00:16:28.540 every day,
00:16:29.020 but I tell you
00:16:29.460 what the deep state really is.
00:16:31.280 It's not this conspiratorial,
00:16:32.960 dimly lit room.
00:16:34.200 It's the annoying people
00:16:35.440 at the Department of Motor Vehicles
00:16:36.560 who have you wait for three hours.
00:16:37.720 It's the incompetent staff
00:16:40.200 at the VA
00:16:40.760 that has our veterans
00:16:41.920 waiting in line.
00:16:43.480 It's those institutional bureaucrats,
00:16:45.840 those politicians in office
00:16:47.320 for too many years,
00:16:48.180 John McCain
00:16:48.800 and Nancy Pelosi,
00:16:52.620 Chuck Schumer,
00:16:53.340 all of these people
00:16:54.720 who want big government
00:16:56.380 to continue,
00:16:57.280 who want debate,
00:16:58.440 who want controversy.
00:17:00.260 And when I say debate,
00:17:01.100 I don't mean in a healthy way.
00:17:02.300 I mean debate
00:17:02.860 as a stall tactic
00:17:03.860 so they don't have to govern.
00:17:05.140 These people who want
00:17:06.140 government to grind to a halt
00:17:07.580 so that lobbyists
00:17:08.440 can keep donating
00:17:09.720 to their campaign,
00:17:11.240 donating to their PACs.
00:17:12.940 They don't want everyone
00:17:13.760 to really get anything done
00:17:14.820 because when you get things done,
00:17:16.520 you're not needed in government.
00:17:18.200 That's what deep state really is.
00:17:19.960 They hate Donald Trump
00:17:20.680 because he cuts through
00:17:21.300 the red tape
00:17:21.860 and he says,
00:17:22.860 well, let's do this.
00:17:23.560 Let's fire that guy.
00:17:24.360 Let's merge
00:17:25.400 the Departments of Education
00:17:26.320 and Labor.
00:17:26.860 Let's take SNAP
00:17:28.640 and EBT cards
00:17:29.840 and food stamps
00:17:30.460 out from under housing
00:17:31.440 and urban development
00:17:33.120 and stick it under
00:17:34.180 Health and Human Services
00:17:35.120 that has the infrastructure
00:17:36.560 to service it.
00:17:37.700 But Trump,
00:17:38.780 if you saw the press conference,
00:17:39.760 well, he did a roundtable
00:17:40.620 last week
00:17:41.100 and Mick Mulvaney,
00:17:42.220 head of the Office
00:17:43.320 of Management and Budget,
00:17:44.440 gave an amazing presentation
00:17:45.840 about making government
00:17:47.320 more efficient.
00:17:48.700 And Mulvaney's presentation
00:17:49.660 went on,
00:17:50.080 I don't know,
00:17:50.360 about 12 minutes or so
00:17:51.360 and 15 minutes.
00:17:52.500 And just in that brief time,
00:17:55.100 you realized
00:17:55.540 how inefficient government was.
00:17:57.800 Terrible, terrible,
00:17:59.140 terribly inefficient.
00:17:59.820 But these people
00:18:03.100 are protesting
00:18:03.640 the deep state, okay?
00:18:05.360 That's all the deep state.
00:18:06.980 Back to the issue at hand.
00:18:09.280 The fentanyl-laced flyers
00:18:11.460 show us that opioids
00:18:12.840 can now be weaponized.
00:18:14.680 Make no mistake,
00:18:16.000 this is a chemical weapons attack.
00:18:20.120 The delivery method
00:18:21.500 of the chemical weapon
00:18:22.640 being a flyer,
00:18:24.180 fentanyl is 100 times
00:18:26.500 more potent than morphine,
00:18:27.660 100 times more potent
00:18:29.960 than morphine.
00:18:31.220 And I'm going to tell you
00:18:32.040 about carfentanil
00:18:32.880 and how it can be used.
00:18:34.740 And that's 10,000 times
00:18:38.260 more potent than morphine.
00:18:41.460 Fentanyl is a chemical,
00:18:42.660 comes in predominantly
00:18:43.520 from China,
00:18:44.400 100 times more potent
00:18:45.400 than morphine.
00:18:45.900 You've heard about it.
00:18:47.140 It's, they lace heroin
00:18:48.320 with it now.
00:18:48.880 That's why people are
00:18:49.400 dropping dead of overdoses.
00:18:51.760 Chemical weapon
00:18:52.540 being placed onto the medium,
00:18:54.960 a flyer,
00:18:55.600 placed on the windows
00:18:56.560 of police cars.
00:18:57.660 That is a chemical weapons attack.
00:19:00.040 That is a chemical weapons attack.
00:19:03.260 A very short hop
00:19:04.440 from that
00:19:05.240 to ISIS,
00:19:08.500 well,
00:19:08.880 there being decimated Al-Qaeda,
00:19:10.600 some random one-off terrorist
00:19:11.960 trying to get a job
00:19:13.240 as a janitor at a school
00:19:14.340 and lacing the kids' books.
00:19:16.340 This is how bad it is,
00:19:18.340 right?
00:19:19.240 It's even scarier.
00:19:20.600 So there's a report
00:19:23.240 in the Oxford Academic
00:19:25.080 from 2012,
00:19:26.220 the Journal of Analytical Toxicology.
00:19:29.480 This is going back
00:19:30.400 to a 2002 terror attack
00:19:32.120 where Russian special forces
00:19:33.860 raided the Dubrovka Theater
00:19:35.480 when Chechen terrorists
00:19:36.620 took it over.
00:19:38.020 We're finding out
00:19:39.020 that they used an aerosol,
00:19:42.300 an aerosol containing carfentanil
00:19:45.100 and knocked the terrorists out.
00:19:47.720 Then they went in,
00:19:48.780 shot the terrorists
00:19:49.660 as they were unconscious,
00:19:51.540 removed their suicide vest.
00:19:52.820 The problem was
00:19:53.560 that 125 victims
00:19:56.760 also died.
00:19:58.820 And what the Journal says,
00:19:59.880 through a combination
00:20:01.260 of the carfentanil aerosol
00:20:03.180 and inadequate medical treatment
00:20:04.660 following the rescue.
00:20:07.100 But, wow.
00:20:09.660 The Russian explanation
00:20:10.820 that an aerosolized form
00:20:13.300 of fentanyl
00:20:13.960 had been used.
00:20:15.500 Various hypotheses
00:20:16.220 proposed to account
00:20:17.520 for the Russian explanation
00:20:18.400 that an aerosolized form
00:20:20.180 of fentanyl
00:20:20.660 had been used.
00:20:21.700 It was a mixture
00:20:22.360 of fentanyl
00:20:23.260 and the anesthetic gas
00:20:24.840 halothane
00:20:25.540 or fentanyl alone.
00:20:27.040 But those were soon discredited.
00:20:29.380 And later on,
00:20:30.940 blood, clothing,
00:20:32.280 and urine analyses
00:20:33.240 told us
00:20:34.920 that carfentanil
00:20:36.880 and remafentanil
00:20:37.880 were used.
00:20:39.320 Far, far more powerful opioids.
00:20:42.580 Now,
00:20:43.500 this was 2002.
00:20:46.940 16 years ago.
00:20:48.400 October 26, 2002.
00:20:51.420 How have the terrorists,
00:20:53.800 how have the bad guys,
00:20:54.760 how have rogue nation states
00:20:55.940 figured out
00:20:57.000 how to weaponize
00:20:58.080 these opioids?
00:20:59.880 This really is
00:21:02.020 a national security crisis.
00:21:04.560 This is far beyond
00:21:06.040 just a public health emergency,
00:21:09.000 a law enforcement emergency.
00:21:10.920 Opioids,
00:21:11.640 and synthetic opioids,
00:21:12.640 can now be weaponized.
00:21:14.840 Can you imagine
00:21:15.560 carfentanil being pumped
00:21:17.480 into a shopping mall
00:21:18.860 through the duct system
00:21:21.280 or into a school,
00:21:23.140 into police stations,
00:21:25.420 knocking out the cops,
00:21:27.380 going in and slaughtering them?
00:21:29.360 God forbid the kids in schools.
00:21:30.940 This is a terrifying prospect.
00:21:34.540 And we need to devote
00:21:35.700 far more resources.
00:21:37.660 This libertarian nonsense
00:21:39.040 of,
00:21:39.660 whoa,
00:21:40.660 leave drugs alone
00:21:41.380 if you want to overdose
00:21:42.040 on fentanyl.
00:21:42.760 Not,
00:21:43.340 not,
00:21:44.240 when it can be weaponized.
00:21:45.660 You can't weaponize cocaine.
00:21:47.080 You can't really weaponize heroin.
00:21:48.520 You can't weaponize crack.
00:21:50.620 You can't weaponize weed
00:21:51.960 or alcohol
00:21:52.780 to this degree.
00:21:53.820 But this stuff,
00:21:54.920 the fentanyl,
00:21:55.440 the carfentanil,
00:21:56.040 is so potent
00:21:56.940 that it simply becomes
00:21:58.960 an ingredient
00:22:00.380 in deadly chemical weapons.
00:22:03.080 And for that reason,
00:22:03.880 we really do need
00:22:04.940 to treat this much differently.
00:22:06.300 We need to treat this
00:22:07.200 as a national security emergency.
00:22:09.640 And I mean,
00:22:10.060 not just DEA,
00:22:11.500 but FBI,
00:22:12.320 CIA,
00:22:12.740 the Department of Defense
00:22:13.680 need to all be collaborating.
00:22:15.980 The Department of Justice,
00:22:17.040 if they can get their act together,
00:22:18.240 need to all be collaborating
00:22:19.080 on how to stop this threat.
00:22:19.920 Because as I research this,
00:22:21.480 I have to tell you,
00:22:23.260 I have to tell you,
00:22:23.780 the things that keep me awake
00:22:24.600 at night are these low-tech
00:22:25.460 asymmetrical attacks.
00:22:27.360 Doesn't seem like
00:22:28.140 aerosolizing carfentanil
00:22:29.520 is all that difficult to do.
00:22:31.100 You have a basic understanding
00:22:32.180 of chemistry.
00:22:33.420 And if that's the case,
00:22:34.740 this could be one of the most
00:22:36.020 terrifying low-tech
00:22:37.660 asymmetrical attack scenarios
00:22:39.200 I've ever analyzed.
00:22:40.580 A few primaries last night
00:22:53.380 around the country.
00:22:53.980 I want to tell you about
00:22:54.480 the ones that were
00:22:55.020 most interesting to me.
00:22:56.460 Well, one of them
00:22:57.040 that's most interesting
00:22:57.860 is probably the least interesting.
00:23:00.040 Mitt Romney won
00:23:02.060 the GOP Senate nomination
00:23:04.300 in Utah.
00:23:05.520 Mitt Romney, to me,
00:23:06.640 has become John McCain.
00:23:08.340 He even said he wants
00:23:09.140 to be like John.
00:23:10.580 Senate.
00:23:11.420 Mitt Romney earned
00:23:13.200 73% of the vote
00:23:16.460 against State Representative
00:23:18.060 Mike Kennedy.
00:23:19.880 He only drew,
00:23:20.720 Kennedy only drew
00:23:21.300 about one in four votes.
00:23:23.860 Mitt Romney won big,
00:23:24.580 but that was expected.
00:23:25.600 He raised an absolute fortune.
00:23:28.120 And Trump tweeted,
00:23:30.060 big and conclusive win
00:23:31.440 by Mitt Romney.
00:23:32.920 Congratulations.
00:23:33.960 I look forward
00:23:34.580 to working together.
00:23:35.360 There is so much good to do.
00:23:36.840 A great and loving family
00:23:38.480 will be coming to D.C.
00:23:40.080 Now, Trump had to do that.
00:23:42.300 He's trying to extend
00:23:43.560 an olive branch,
00:23:44.300 but Romney's going to be
00:23:45.100 the thorn in Trump's side.
00:23:47.440 The big thorn in Trump.
00:23:48.840 I mean, Romney called
00:23:50.100 Trump a fraud
00:23:51.180 and a con man.
00:23:52.460 Trump passed him over
00:23:53.420 for Secretary of State
00:23:54.320 and other positions,
00:23:55.360 and they don't like each other.
00:23:57.080 All right.
00:23:57.340 They don't,
00:23:57.660 no matter what Trump says,
00:23:58.380 he's doing the right thing
00:23:59.060 for Republican unity.
00:24:00.040 They don't like each other.
00:24:01.240 And Romney, I believe,
00:24:02.380 is going to go into the Senate
00:24:03.240 with the intention
00:24:04.200 of removing Trump
00:24:05.280 or lobbying
00:24:06.920 for the removal of Trump
00:24:07.960 if Dems should win the House.
00:24:09.380 I think the Dems
00:24:09.980 are done in the midterm,
00:24:11.720 but anything can happen
00:24:12.940 in the next five, six months.
00:24:14.500 If the Dems were
00:24:15.300 to take the House,
00:24:15.900 which I think is highly unlikely.
00:24:19.440 In fact,
00:24:19.960 I think the Republicans
00:24:20.540 are going to pick seats up.
00:24:22.400 Romney, I think,
00:24:22.900 would be a voice
00:24:23.380 to remove Trump
00:24:24.240 in the Senate
00:24:24.980 where he impeached the House.
00:24:26.480 But Romney won.
00:24:28.180 Not unexpected.
00:24:29.680 Not unexpected.
00:24:30.640 If it was, of course,
00:24:31.180 Orrin Hatch's seat.
00:24:32.620 Hatch is retiring.
00:24:34.400 Romney was also,
00:24:35.420 conventional wisdom
00:24:36.700 would tell us
00:24:37.420 behind the Evan McMullin debacle
00:24:39.680 to thwart Trump's electoral path
00:24:42.140 in the states of Idaho,
00:24:44.060 Utah, and Arizona,
00:24:45.060 states with large Mormon populations.
00:24:46.740 That failed as well.
00:24:48.380 When they saw Trump was winning,
00:24:49.420 they threw McMullin
00:24:50.060 in as a ringer,
00:24:50.980 hoping to block
00:24:51.660 Trump's electoral path
00:24:52.720 and throw it to Hillary.
00:24:54.440 That failed miserably.
00:24:56.640 A really interesting race
00:24:58.460 in New York City's,
00:25:00.060 well, New York's
00:25:00.740 14th congressional district
00:25:02.100 which is in New York City,
00:25:03.540 covers parts of Queens,
00:25:04.980 parts of the Bronx.
00:25:06.080 Now, these are predominantly
00:25:07.480 English as a second language areas.
00:25:10.480 And the incumbent
00:25:12.020 was a guy named Joe Crowley,
00:25:13.360 a far-left Democrat.
00:25:15.280 He was like a 10-term incumbent
00:25:16.740 or 7-term incumbent.
00:25:18.600 He'd been there 14 to 20 years.
00:25:19.920 That's exactly.
00:25:20.480 10-term.
00:25:21.340 They'd been around 20 years.
00:25:23.140 And a girl named,
00:25:24.980 a woman,
00:25:25.720 girl's 28 years old,
00:25:26.820 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won.
00:25:30.120 She's a Democratic socialist
00:25:32.140 who ran on abolishing ICE.
00:25:35.580 She's been down at the border
00:25:36.660 ranting and raving now.
00:25:38.800 The district is far-left.
00:25:40.240 The district is predominantly immigrant.
00:25:42.760 A lot of illegals.
00:25:44.860 English is, like I said,
00:25:45.820 the second language in these areas.
00:25:47.800 Hard-left, hard-blue area.
00:25:50.140 But there was also Crowley's race to lose,
00:25:52.180 and he really gave up.
00:25:54.180 The guy didn't show up for a debate,
00:25:56.400 instead sending a surrogate
00:25:57.880 who looked like Ocasio-Cortez.
00:26:00.720 That really offended
00:26:02.020 people from the area.
00:26:04.320 You're running in an area.
00:26:05.400 You're running in an area
00:26:06.520 in
00:26:07.360 Greens in the Bronx,
00:26:11.480 just predominantly minority.
00:26:13.840 And you
00:26:14.760 then decide to
00:26:16.660 not show up as the white guy
00:26:18.360 and send a Hispanic female
00:26:20.460 as a surrogate,
00:26:21.460 a Latina.
00:26:22.300 That's a slap in the face.
00:26:23.840 Now, this area, again,
00:26:24.820 would never be a Republican seat.
00:26:26.100 I don't think the Republicans
00:26:26.780 should even waste money on this.
00:26:28.400 None of the Republicans
00:26:29.360 should even run a candidate here.
00:26:30.840 It's a waste of money.
00:26:31.820 It'll never be an RC.
00:26:34.180 But
00:26:34.620 I hope
00:26:35.780 the Democrats keep doing this.
00:26:37.240 I hope
00:26:37.620 Democratic voters
00:26:38.620 in the farthest left districts
00:26:40.320 continue to
00:26:42.240 put forward these candidates
00:26:43.780 who are
00:26:44.960 this far left,
00:26:46.360 who are admitted
00:26:46.860 Democratic socialists.
00:26:48.180 It shows us
00:26:49.240 the true face
00:26:50.360 of the Democratic Party.
00:26:52.160 Just how far left
00:26:53.440 the party has gone.
00:26:54.480 Now,
00:26:55.060 he wants to abolish ICE.
00:26:56.780 She went to the border.
00:26:58.320 She was yelling at ICE agents
00:26:59.440 through the fence.
00:27:01.100 She said,
00:27:01.820 we have families
00:27:02.680 and communities here
00:27:03.820 in the 14th District
00:27:04.700 from Ecuador
00:27:06.040 and Colombia,
00:27:06.940 Bangladesh,
00:27:07.580 Korea, Pakistan.
00:27:08.260 And I see them every day
00:27:09.140 and many of them
00:27:09.640 are scared about
00:27:10.160 what's going on.
00:27:11.360 But my campaign,
00:27:12.500 in terms of immigration,
00:27:13.760 we're trying to say,
00:27:14.700 hey,
00:27:15.340 we got your back.
00:27:17.620 Well,
00:27:18.720 if these people are illegal
00:27:19.600 and you're a U.S.
00:27:21.220 Congresswoman,
00:27:22.120 or you're elected,
00:27:23.060 which she will be,
00:27:24.160 take an oath
00:27:24.620 to protect,
00:27:25.160 preserve,
00:27:25.300 and defend
00:27:25.680 the Constitution
00:27:26.320 and the laws
00:27:26.700 of the United States
00:27:27.280 of America,
00:27:28.280 no,
00:27:28.880 you should have
00:27:29.560 the back
00:27:29.880 of the Department
00:27:30.340 of Homeland Security
00:27:31.080 and the rule of law,
00:27:32.080 not the backs
00:27:33.080 of illegal aliens.
00:27:34.920 And then lastly,
00:27:36.060 we had the South Carolina
00:27:37.180 Republican gubernatorial
00:27:39.240 primary runoff
00:27:40.280 between Henry McMaster
00:27:42.560 and John Warren.
00:27:43.620 Now,
00:27:43.760 McMaster,
00:27:44.460 there had to be a runoff
00:27:45.300 because he didn't get
00:27:45.840 over 50% of the vote
00:27:46.960 in the original primary.
00:27:49.300 He won last night.
00:27:50.180 He won by about six points,
00:27:52.040 seven points,
00:27:52.580 seven point,
00:27:54.520 two points.
00:27:55.200 In fact,
00:27:55.800 he won by just over 30,
00:27:58.800 well,
00:27:59.120 just under 30,000 votes,
00:28:01.080 about 26,000 votes.
00:28:04.420 Trump rallied for him.
00:28:05.960 What was interesting is
00:28:06.860 he didn't win
00:28:07.920 in the areas surrounding
00:28:08.820 Greenville,
00:28:09.420 South Carolina,
00:28:10.000 and Charleston,
00:28:10.540 South Carolina.
00:28:11.780 Why was that?
00:28:13.040 Is it that he was rejected
00:28:13.820 by Republicans
00:28:14.480 and was Trump?
00:28:15.400 Well,
00:28:15.580 I don't think so
00:28:16.120 because he won
00:28:16.900 in the rest of the state.
00:28:18.120 Big,
00:28:18.560 big,
00:28:18.840 big swatches
00:28:19.420 of red over there.
00:28:20.000 This is an open primary
00:28:22.180 state,
00:28:22.640 South Carolina.
00:28:23.640 And I think in these areas,
00:28:24.780 Greenville and Charleston,
00:28:26.980 Democrats and independents
00:28:28.460 voted in the Republican primary
00:28:30.340 against Trump
00:28:31.680 and anyone he supports
00:28:32.600 rather than vote
00:28:33.800 in the Dem primary
00:28:34.760 for the Dem
00:28:35.600 challenge.
00:28:39.000 Well,
00:28:39.140 actually,
00:28:39.620 don't even know.
00:28:40.140 I guess whoever the Dem was
00:28:40.920 won in the primary.
00:28:42.400 I haven't followed
00:28:42.720 the South Carolina race.
00:28:44.240 Quite honestly,
00:28:44.660 there was no runoff.
00:28:46.480 But
00:28:46.700 what it tells me
00:28:48.420 is that Dems
00:28:49.240 didn't vote
00:28:51.020 didn't vote
00:28:52.420 in
00:28:53.080 or Dems
00:28:54.080 that did vote
00:28:54.540 in their primary.
00:28:55.780 Well,
00:28:56.820 it looks like
00:28:57.700 independents,
00:28:58.980 those who didn't vote
00:28:59.800 in that first primary
00:29:00.600 might have waited
00:29:01.120 until the Republican runoff
00:29:02.280 to vote against
00:29:03.780 McMaster
00:29:05.560 and against Trump.
00:29:06.800 Now,
00:29:07.080 Trump did a rally there.
00:29:08.440 And
00:29:08.920 the question is,
00:29:10.160 did the rally
00:29:11.220 help McMaster?
00:29:12.400 Was it the rally
00:29:13.480 that both
00:29:14.180 pushed McMaster
00:29:14.900 over the edge
00:29:15.600 with those
00:29:16.500 who weren't going
00:29:17.100 to vote against,
00:29:17.680 those who were
00:29:18.300 solid R's?
00:29:19.520 Or
00:29:19.940 did the rally
00:29:21.280 energize
00:29:22.100 the Democrats
00:29:22.740 and the independents
00:29:23.600 in an open primary state
00:29:24.640 to vote against
00:29:25.580 anyone aligned with Trump?
00:29:28.000 That's really
00:29:28.860 going to be
00:29:29.520 the question
00:29:30.520 going into the midterms.
00:29:32.920 How energized
00:29:33.560 is the left?
00:29:34.560 Now,
00:29:34.820 I think
00:29:35.240 McMaster
00:29:36.100 handily wins
00:29:37.200 re-election
00:29:37.680 in South Carolina.
00:29:38.960 He became governor
00:29:39.560 after Nikki Haley
00:29:40.320 went over to be
00:29:40.780 UN ambassador.
00:29:42.460 But I'm always
00:29:43.400 really
00:29:43.940 interested
00:29:45.720 in watching
00:29:47.640 these open
00:29:49.220 primary states
00:29:50.160 and how things
00:29:50.900 shake out
00:29:51.420 in these cities.
00:29:52.880 Because there's
00:29:53.460 no reason
00:29:53.900 Charleston
00:29:54.300 and Greenville,
00:29:55.540 the Republicans
00:29:56.000 there,
00:29:56.440 wouldn't have also
00:29:56.980 gone with McMaster.
00:29:58.220 This tells me
00:29:58.920 that in those cities
00:29:59.860 that have
00:30:00.240 large concentrations
00:30:01.480 of Dems and
00:30:02.180 independents
00:30:02.840 in an open
00:30:03.820 primary state,
00:30:04.780 those Dems and
00:30:05.600 independents
00:30:06.100 voted against Trump.
00:30:07.900 And that's why
00:30:08.740 the opponent,
00:30:09.380 John Warren,
00:30:10.280 picked up as many
00:30:11.240 votes as he did
00:30:11.940 in those areas.
00:30:12.560 So it's going
00:30:13.120 to be very,
00:30:13.960 very interesting
00:30:14.500 to watch
00:30:14.980 going into November.
00:30:16.260 But I have to tell you,
00:30:17.540 McMaster still won,
00:30:18.800 still won comfortably.
00:30:20.480 Essentially,
00:30:21.200 the entire middle
00:30:22.240 from north to south,
00:30:24.740 the center of the
00:30:25.320 state of South Carolina
00:30:26.080 went with McMaster
00:30:26.940 by proxy,
00:30:28.860 went with Trump
00:30:29.440 after that
00:30:30.060 rock concert
00:30:31.480 of a rally.
00:30:32.780 And I think that
00:30:33.860 this is going to
00:30:34.620 bode very well
00:30:35.440 for Trump-leaning
00:30:36.660 Republicans
00:30:37.180 going into
00:30:37.680 the midterm election.
00:30:42.560 We'll see you next time.
