00:00:00.000 great show today uh starts with a little bit of introspection uh we look into the window of your
00:00:09.260 soul yes so you don't want to miss that that's how we uh start the podcast but we go out and laughs
00:00:15.400 we talk about uh coronavirus um what's happening to the january 6th defendants the people who have
00:00:23.200 been arrested how many have been arrested and where are they that and so much more on today's
00:00:29.140 broadcast you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:00:41.260 hello you sick twisted freak welcome to monday all right here is something that is critically
00:00:53.100 important and you can do something about it there is a tug of war between good and evil that is has
00:01:03.620 really broken out in england a desperately ill two-year-old girl in england the doctors want to
00:01:12.800 pull the plug on her now here is the difference between this and charlie guard remember charlie
00:01:18.580 guard was the state eventually pulled all life support even though charlie guard had a place to go
00:01:25.840 but charlie guard's parents were english not the case with the two-year-old girl in england
00:01:33.700 this is an american dad who has citizenship in america and in israel and he was uh living
00:01:46.600 in england but he still holds an american passport
00:01:52.620 when his daughter was born two years ago um she was born and she was not uh she was not responding to
00:02:05.220 anything they kept up cpr um and then put her on a what is what did um obama call him uh uh breathalyzer
00:02:15.520 an inhalator an inhalator it's a ventilator so she's been on a ventilator for her entire life and she had
00:02:22.440 lack of oxygen so she's not responding etc etc um she can't maintain a core body temperature
00:02:31.540 she she can't blink she has no conscious uh awareness yada yada yada the dad says there are there are
00:02:42.600 hospitals in america and in israel that want to try new things on his daughter she has a chance
00:02:52.480 according to doctors here in america and in israel and the dad is saying uh you know i know what you're
00:02:59.620 saying but you know no offense england but your hospital care is is not up to the standards of
00:03:06.840 america or israel because you're not on the cutting edge anymore because of your socialist health care
00:03:13.060 and he's not saying this to you know be you know a troublemaker or to make a political point
00:03:21.040 he's just telling the truth and he says there's no reason to kill my daughter
00:03:27.740 he said quote there's lots of places around the world where i can take care of my daughter and
00:03:35.180 we'd be happy to take care of her for long term he said just let me and my daughter go
00:03:44.340 the judge said uh the doctors don't think she has any quality of life well who are you to say that
00:03:55.820 the doctors say the doctors say she has no quality of life so she said it's not the parent it's
00:04:05.140 the patient and she has to look out for the patient and so she wants to stop all life support
00:04:13.520 here's where it gets interested interesting not only is a hospital in here in america willing to take her
00:04:22.160 but also in israel and here's why this is important he has an israeli passport he's an israeli and
00:04:32.200 an american citizen he is hasidic so he has deeply held orthodox views and he says value of life
00:04:46.640 is built into our religious upbringing orthodox judaism encourages the continuation of life until
00:04:56.340 all means have expired and are exhausted so don't tell me about your meaning of life this is my religious
00:05:05.600 point of view the judge is still not moving
00:05:12.340 now there's been a couple of democrats that have taken this on and have written letters there's a line
00:05:23.360 of republicans that have already taken this on they're waiting for the white house they can't
00:05:29.820 get the white house to react to this and i honestly don't know if joe biden is even aware
00:05:37.800 enough and i honestly don't think that the people in the white house believe in religion
00:05:46.360 i don't know if they believe in the quality of life argument that all life is inherently valuable
00:05:55.360 that we have to do whatever we can do i i don't know what they believe i wish i did
00:06:02.480 i wish i knew who was actually running the white house
00:06:06.820 but this is something that you can call your senator on call the white house on this is an american
00:06:17.120 citizen american citizen and they desperately desperately need your help and this is something that goes
00:06:30.280 to republicans and democrats chuck schumer is actually involved he's trying to get the family reunited here
00:06:38.280 this is something you know there's there's only a few things left that can unite us
00:06:44.100 and i think we're seeing that with crt our children our children can bring us back together
00:06:54.120 because we're all the same you know i hear about these you know i hear about
00:07:02.200 the struggle between the palestinians and israelis well i've been there several times and i've talked
00:07:11.960 to palestinians several times on their grounds and when you meet somebody who is not just screaming for
00:07:22.240 blood which is a lot of people are not screaming for blood they say the same thing it's the politics
00:07:31.160 of the region it's the politics i just want a job i just want to feed my family i just want to get on
00:07:38.420 with my life that that is the same thing i hear from israelis they don't mind oh palestinians are living
00:07:48.840 here that they don't i mean they have they they let palestinians live they take care of palestinians
00:07:54.560 they have full citizenship what is the problem usually it's politics we all have the same thing
00:08:04.440 in common our children and if we lose
00:08:08.500 any more of the value of life if we begin to lose it on the edges
00:08:16.900 here's a child that is already born
00:08:20.060 this is this is not some other country this is you take your child and you're over in europe
00:08:29.140 and you take your child over there and they put them in a hospital you check them in because they
00:08:37.960 need a hospital and then that hospital says yeah we're not going to let you take them because they
00:08:45.840 have no quality of life excuse me what does your passport even mean what does your passport even mean
00:08:55.460 more importantly what does this is my child even mean it means nothing if they can get away with
00:09:05.520 saying i'm sorry we treat the patient not the parent and the parent says wait a minute how how many steps
00:09:16.740 is it to you going into a hospital and you being told you have no quality of life
00:09:23.060 and you are saying no i do
00:09:27.100 this is where it started in germany this is exactly how it started this is remember the holocaust
00:09:39.280 this is never again not once they're already there but at the beginning where you can grab the roots
00:09:49.820 and pull it out this is the beginning of that
00:09:54.820 alta alta is this daughter's name alta fixler f-i-x-s-l-e-r alta fixler call your church call your prayer group
00:10:19.820 call your senators call the white house alta fixler bring her home

00:10:31.940 23 year old mechanic
00:10:37.420 he was in cuba he he and 11 other cubans
00:10:46.240 were on a little wooden boat
00:10:49.640 and he had focused on the rolling waves
00:10:53.960 that rocked and lifted the wooden boat
00:10:57.940 it was his second time to try
00:11:01.840 to escape
00:11:03.320 leave his family behind
00:11:06.500 and gain freedom
00:11:08.560 i want you to think about that
00:11:11.120 not leaving
00:11:13.320 how hard is it for you to leave
00:11:14.780 your friends and your family and your job
00:11:17.240 for something that you do know
00:11:20.520 you're moving to denver
00:11:22.600 you're moving someplace else
00:11:24.980 think about the pressure that is on you
00:11:27.280 think about the butterflies that you have in your stomach about finding new doctors
00:11:31.840 you know a new school for your kids
00:11:34.720 a new job
00:11:35.820 new friends
00:11:36.640 i don't want to leave my friends
00:11:37.720 my family is all here
00:11:39.040 now imagine you're going to a place where you can never go back
00:11:43.980 you're not going to see your parents and your friends
00:11:47.780 you have no idea what's on the other side
00:11:51.020 and it's not like go west young man
00:11:54.000 where lewis and clark are there going
00:11:55.720 yeah here's a map how you get there
00:11:57.500 don't get eaten by a bear
00:11:59.000 and when you get there
00:12:01.080 there's a bunch of people there
00:12:02.620 that are going to help you out
00:12:03.680 this is
00:12:04.580 i am going by myself
00:12:07.440 and i might die
00:12:08.920 in the water
00:12:10.200 this 23 year old mechanic
00:12:18.840 got into the boat
00:12:21.100 for the second time
00:12:22.640 knowing
00:12:23.540 i can't stay here
00:12:27.200 he said
00:12:30.180 dolphins were tracking the boat alongside
00:12:33.280 that's when he lifted his eyes over the weekend
00:12:38.220 and he saw
00:12:41.360 just the dreamed of coastline
00:12:45.680 everyone erupted in joy
00:12:49.540 he said
00:12:50.200 men hug
00:12:51.040 women cried
00:12:52.040 they had wanted to come to america so badly
00:12:56.520 the celebration continued
00:13:02.960 because they didn't notice the u.s. coast guard plane
00:13:06.200 until it was directly overhead
00:13:08.180 and then they saw the coast guard cutter
00:13:11.800 within four days
00:13:15.940 he was back on cuban soil
00:13:18.020 what are we doing

00:13:28.720 to breathe free
00:13:30.780 the statue of liberty
00:13:35.540 has been
00:13:36.260 has been bastardized
00:13:38.320 by the left
00:13:39.120 so much
00:13:39.960 maybe they'll say
00:13:42.320 one day
00:13:42.740 that only republicans
00:13:44.540 really own
00:13:46.120 the statue of liberty
00:13:47.300 it's an offensive symbol
00:13:48.900 for others
00:13:49.700 so be it
00:13:51.880 i know what the statue of liberty
00:13:54.040 means
00:13:54.760 and i know who she cries out for
00:13:56.640 with silent lips
00:13:57.900 send these
00:14:01.520 the huddled masses
00:14:04.480 yearning

00:14:15.000 the tempest
00:14:15.740 tossed
00:14:16.320 and while we are
00:14:19.320 welcoming

00:14:24.620 without any
00:14:26.540 kind of information
00:14:27.640 and setting them
00:14:29.660 into our country
00:14:30.960 putting them on
00:14:32.640 american planes
00:14:34.840 paid for
00:14:36.380 by american
00:14:37.160 taxpayers
00:14:38.040 and flying them
00:14:40.060 all around the country
00:14:41.800 giving them a start
00:14:44.580 to a new life
00:14:45.540 we have no idea
00:14:47.000 who these people are
00:14:48.260 and our coast guard
00:14:52.740 cutters are turning
00:14:53.960 these people

00:15:19.040 democratic playbook
00:15:20.160 here's how it works out
00:15:22.260 for you
00:15:22.720 you all get up today
00:15:25.920 because there's nothing
00:15:26.940 you can do
00:15:27.700 there's nothing you can do
00:15:29.080 they're going to pass the
00:15:29.920 legislation
00:15:30.420 anyway
00:15:31.360 and leave just enough
00:15:33.040 there to have a quorum
00:15:34.240 so you don't stop
00:15:35.460 the business of america
00:15:36.780 but why don't you go
00:15:39.140 down to miami
00:15:39.940 all of you
00:15:40.820 why don't you get onto
00:15:41.980 a plane in miami
00:15:43.280 every single one of you
00:15:45.060 and invite democrats
00:15:46.500 to come with you
00:15:47.700 and stand there
00:15:50.680 arm and arm
00:15:52.920 with the cuban people
00:15:54.060 the people who
00:15:56.280 still have cuba
00:15:57.960 in their hearts
00:15:58.700 they're still proud
00:16:02.600 to be cubans
00:16:03.560 but they're also proud
00:16:06.060 americans now
00:16:07.180 they're proud americans
00:16:10.640 because they know what
00:16:11.780 this country did for them
00:16:13.580 and that is just
00:16:16.700 protect their right
00:16:19.000 to breathe free
00:16:21.460 cubans
00:16:32.180 are in the streets
00:16:37.200 protesting
00:16:37.900 i'm so sick
00:16:41.780 and tired
00:16:42.620 of hearing people
00:16:45.240 who are so brave
00:16:48.160 they're just
00:16:50.140 no seriously
00:16:50.780 they're just
00:16:51.420 they're so
00:16:52.900 very very brave
00:16:54.960 are they
00:16:56.100 are they really
00:16:58.800 colin kaepernick
00:17:04.320 isn't brave
00:17:05.200 colin kaepernick
00:17:06.740 he made a
00:17:08.480 he made a job
00:17:09.640 transfer
00:17:10.340 he sucked
00:17:11.540 at one job
00:17:12.620 and so he found
00:17:14.360 a creative way
00:17:15.340 to start another job
00:17:16.820 and that job
00:17:18.140 is an activist
00:17:19.560 and even if he means it
00:17:21.860 he's a moron
00:17:23.000 wearing a che
00:17:25.820 t-shirt
00:17:26.820 wearing a che
00:17:28.660 t-shirt
00:17:29.760 anybody
00:17:30.820 who glorifies
00:17:32.360 che
00:17:32.900 doesn't know
00:17:35.600 their ass
00:17:36.080 from their elbow
00:17:36.900 you can't call
00:17:39.340 them a human
00:17:40.160 rights activist
00:17:41.320 you're protesting
00:17:43.780 the american flag
00:17:45.080 because you
00:17:45.620 so deeply
00:17:46.680 believe
00:17:47.540 in the right
00:17:48.900 to be free
00:17:49.760 and yet
00:17:50.580 you wear
00:17:51.260 a che
00:17:51.880 t-shirt
00:17:52.780 che
00:17:56.520 would have
00:17:56.880 loved you
00:17:57.620 he would have
00:17:58.860 loved you
00:17:59.600 colin
00:18:00.020 especially
00:18:02.260 after he
00:18:03.000 scooped you
00:18:03.860 up
00:18:04.200 because you
00:18:04.920 didn't do
00:18:05.240 everything
00:18:06.000 he said
00:18:06.840 and then he
00:18:09.500 shot you in the
00:18:10.180 head just for
00:18:10.740 fun
00:18:11.160 because that's
00:18:12.220 who che
00:18:12.680 was
00:18:13.240 we've so
00:18:24.100 bastardized
00:18:24.920 the understanding
00:18:26.080 of america
00:18:26.820 it's incredible
00:18:28.020 to me
00:18:28.500 the meaning
00:18:30.060 of america
00:18:31.160 this might
00:18:33.800 this might piss
00:18:34.820 a bunch of
00:18:35.120 people off
00:18:35.560 but what do
00:18:36.500 i have to
00:18:36.940 lose
00:18:37.200 i'd leave
00:18:41.980 this country
00:18:42.480 in a heartbeat
00:18:43.140 in a heartbeat
00:18:44.840 i'd renounce
00:18:46.480 my citizenship
00:18:47.180 in a heartbeat
00:18:47.960 i'd take down
00:18:49.760 my american flag
00:18:50.660 in a heartbeat
00:18:51.240 if you could
00:18:53.080 come up with
00:18:53.920 something better
00:18:54.960 if you had
00:18:58.720 some place
00:18:59.820 or something
00:19:00.820 some idea
00:19:01.760 that had
00:19:02.900 a better
00:19:03.420 mission statement
00:19:04.420 than the
00:19:05.940 declaration of
00:19:06.740 independence
00:19:07.200 and you had
00:19:08.620 a better
00:19:09.080 constitution
00:19:10.020 than this
00:19:10.860 one
00:19:11.180 and you had
00:19:12.860 people
00:19:13.280 who
00:19:13.900 were like
00:19:15.280 our
00:19:15.520 pilgrims
00:19:16.300 and many
00:19:17.000 of our
00:19:17.420 founders
00:19:17.900 they were
00:19:21.680 in it
00:19:21.920 for people
00:19:22.700 and freedom
00:19:23.740 i'd go
00:19:26.480 but so far
00:19:27.260 that offer
00:19:27.740 hasn't come up
00:19:28.500 i can't find
00:19:30.220 another place
00:19:30.840 to go

00:19:48.120 out of old
00:19:48.820 fords
00:19:49.680 they're trying
00:19:51.420 to make

00:20:14.960 utopia
00:20:15.540 on the
00:20:16.080 other side
00:20:16.720 of the

00:20:40.360 first we were
00:20:41.980 told sweden
00:20:42.700 but you'll
00:20:43.440 notice nobody's
00:20:44.500 talking to
00:20:45.060 sweden
00:20:45.400 the swedes
00:20:46.760 aren't over

00:21:59.420 confinement
00:22:00.100 is that
00:22:00.580 true
00:22:01.120 well glenn
00:22:02.920 that's one
00:22:03.240 of the things
00:22:03.600 we're trying
00:22:03.920 to get to
00:22:04.160 the answer
00:22:04.440 first of all
00:22:04.860 thanks for
00:22:05.120 having me
00:22:05.360 on great
00:22:05.700 to talk
00:22:06.020 to you
00:22:06.220 again as
00:22:06.520 always
00:22:06.840 uh and
00:22:07.760 great to
00:22:08.280 be in the
00:22:08.480 great state
00:22:08.780 of texas
00:22:09.100 although i
00:22:09.340 gotta fly
00:22:09.700 back to dc
00:22:10.280 today
00:22:10.680 to go uh
00:22:12.000 accomplish
00:22:12.580 absolutely
00:22:13.020 nothing in
00:22:13.480 washington
00:22:13.800 because you
00:22:14.320 know democrats
00:22:14.860 don't actually
00:22:15.660 care about
00:22:16.060 what the
00:22:16.960 people want
00:22:17.460 and in this
00:22:17.900 case is a
00:22:18.420 perfect example
00:22:18.980 i'm on the
00:22:19.380 house judiciary
00:22:19.980 committee
00:22:20.380 we have
00:22:21.060 oversight over
00:22:21.860 the department
00:22:22.520 of justice
00:22:23.060 uh we are
00:22:24.380 uh informed
00:22:25.360 through public
00:22:26.060 accounting and
00:22:26.700 through some
00:22:27.120 of the information
00:22:27.760 they make
00:22:28.120 public that
00:22:29.000 over 500
00:22:29.700 americans have
00:22:30.460 been arrested
00:22:31.100 uh in
00:22:32.340 connection with
00:22:33.120 what occurred
00:22:33.620 on january
00:22:34.080 6th now
00:22:35.000 you and i
00:22:36.420 both agree
00:22:37.480 that those who
00:22:38.700 you know
00:22:39.200 violated law
00:22:40.260 laws in ways
00:22:40.860 that may be
00:22:41.300 resulted in
00:22:41.780 destruction of
00:22:42.260 property or
00:22:42.860 uh you know
00:22:43.800 attacking on
00:22:44.420 police officers
00:22:45.080 or those kinds
00:22:45.660 of things
00:22:46.000 should be
00:22:46.940 punished to
00:22:47.520 the full
00:22:47.760 extent of
00:22:48.140 the law
00:22:48.400 or certainly
00:22:48.900 punished
00:22:49.320 appropriate and
00:22:50.120 consistent with
00:22:50.640 the law
00:22:51.000 um but we
00:22:52.480 have 500
00:22:53.020 people arrested
00:22:53.920 and we don't
00:22:54.640 have any real
00:22:55.260 information on
00:22:56.160 who they are
00:22:57.140 why they've
00:22:57.880 been arrested
00:22:58.300 how they're
00:22:58.980 being uh
00:22:59.820 detained uh
00:23:00.960 what what's
00:23:01.700 the actual uh
00:23:02.840 you know what's
00:23:03.840 backing all of
00:23:04.560 this what do i
00:23:05.020 mean by that i'm
00:23:05.500 a former federal
00:23:06.180 prosecutor myself
00:23:07.120 and you know
00:23:08.520 there are uh
00:23:09.440 procedures and
00:23:10.060 policies they put
00:23:10.760 in place that
00:23:11.260 impact what
00:23:12.060 assistant united
00:23:13.080 states attorneys
00:23:13.760 the united
00:23:14.280 states attorneys
00:23:14.840 in question
00:23:15.340 what they do
00:23:16.600 um in terms of
00:23:18.420 prioritizing and
00:23:19.520 in terms of how
00:23:20.300 they approach
00:23:21.140 prosecutorial
00:23:22.100 discretion in
00:23:22.820 this context
00:23:23.460 we want to know
00:23:24.480 whether this is
00:23:25.020 political we want
00:23:26.100 to know how
00:23:26.460 people are being
00:23:27.100 um you know
00:23:27.980 uh treated
00:23:29.140 and and all of
00:23:30.320 this got on my
00:23:30.860 radar screen
00:23:31.580 because i have
00:23:32.800 constituents who
00:23:34.480 were present in
00:23:36.080 dc and have had
00:23:37.440 a couple of people
00:23:38.100 that have come to
00:23:38.720 me and talked
00:23:39.200 to me about
00:23:39.460 how they're
00:23:39.780 being charged
00:23:40.720 with crimes
00:23:41.340 one father son
00:23:42.860 combination that
00:23:43.640 both were charged
00:23:44.480 with a crime the
00:23:45.060 father was not
00:23:45.820 detained the son
00:23:47.040 was and we're
00:23:48.420 trying to get more
00:23:49.200 information from
00:23:50.020 them from their
00:23:50.660 lawyers and uh and
00:23:51.980 now we're pressing
00:23:52.640 the department of
00:23:53.180 justice as we have
00:23:53.960 been now for a
00:23:54.520 couple of months
00:23:54.980 thomas massey and
00:23:55.760 myself and some
00:23:56.420 others have been
00:23:56.840 pressing on it
00:23:57.380 so so chip how
00:23:58.740 unusual is what's
00:24:01.580 happening with this
00:24:02.640 well it's hard to
00:24:05.040 know the exact
00:24:05.640 details right
00:24:06.480 because we don't
00:24:07.600 we don't have the
00:24:08.440 information yet about
00:24:09.220 okay each individual
00:24:11.120 who's been detained
00:24:11.900 what are they charged
00:24:13.580 with having done so
00:24:14.940 for example we know
00:24:16.420 that there was uh an
00:24:17.820 individual that's a
00:24:18.840 constituent of mine
00:24:19.720 who was charged with
00:24:21.080 a crime but literally
00:24:22.720 it appears based on
00:24:23.880 the video that he has
00:24:25.140 and that i've i've
00:24:25.940 been informed of
00:24:27.500 through his counsel
00:24:28.380 that all he did was
00:24:29.880 cross the line where
00:24:31.300 there were some of
00:24:31.780 those bicycle racks
00:24:32.720 placed and in fact
00:24:33.940 he has video of that
00:24:34.700 whole time he never
00:24:35.400 went in the capitol uh
00:24:36.780 he never encouraged
00:24:37.540 anybody you can hear
00:24:38.160 the audio and in fact
00:24:38.940 he was discouraging
00:24:40.020 people from breaching
00:24:41.720 the line and and
00:24:42.640 from you know uh
00:24:43.880 carrying on and and
00:24:44.860 maybe uh pushing up
00:24:45.880 against the police and
00:24:46.720 stuff but as the
00:24:48.020 crowd moved forward he
00:24:49.120 crossed that particular
00:24:50.200 boundary so now he's
00:24:51.860 being prosecuted right
00:24:53.040 he's being charged
00:24:53.680 with a crime how many
00:24:55.080 of those people are
00:24:56.060 there now in his case
00:24:57.040 he's not in jail at
00:24:58.600 the current moment but
00:24:59.860 we know that he's
00:25:00.520 been he's facing a
00:25:01.460 crime and how many
00:25:03.000 of these 500 who
00:25:04.180 are they why are
00:25:04.860 they being detained
00:25:05.460 what did they do and
00:25:07.300 so this is we know
00:25:08.320 we have detained hang
00:25:09.640 on we've detained
00:25:10.700 500 people i think
00:25:14.140 we've arrested 500
00:25:15.240 people i don't know
00:25:16.140 the exact numbers on
00:25:17.080 the detentions my
00:25:17.900 staff is working
00:25:18.660 right now to try to
00:25:19.460 press the department
00:25:20.060 of justice to get
00:25:20.840 that we've obviously
00:25:21.520 sent the letter
00:25:22.080 asking the attorney
00:25:22.920 general to come
00:25:23.580 forward we believe
00:25:24.620 there's been 500
00:25:25.300 arrests we're trying
00:25:26.420 to figure out how
00:25:27.140 many are currently
00:25:27.900 detained and and get
00:25:29.680 to the bottom of how
00:25:30.580 long they've been
00:25:31.100 detained and why
00:25:32.100 and figure out what
00:25:33.120 their due process
00:25:33.840 rights are and you
00:25:35.340 know how many have
00:25:36.040 settled i was told
00:25:37.200 that a some one
00:25:38.840 individual uh went
00:25:40.380 ahead and and entered
00:25:41.800 a plea agreement for
00:25:42.760 something lesser right
00:25:43.980 uh in order to sort of
00:25:45.520 move along okay where
00:25:47.040 does that go and what
00:25:48.060 was the plea agreement
00:25:48.900 and what pressure was
00:25:49.900 put on the individuals
00:25:50.600 for the plea agreement
00:25:51.420 those are things we're
00:25:52.500 trying to figure out
00:25:53.080 and by the way you
00:25:54.200 know i opposed this
00:25:55.600 you know pelosi-led
00:25:57.160 select committee uh
00:25:59.200 because i thought it
00:26:00.680 was unnecessary and
00:26:01.820 political i'm on the
00:26:03.180 department i'm on the
00:26:04.120 house judiciary committee
00:26:05.320 we have oversight we
00:26:07.180 have not held a single
00:26:08.200 hearing glenn not a
00:26:09.820 single hearing where
00:26:11.080 we've hauled in the
00:26:11.860 department of justice
00:26:12.740 uh uh you know the
00:26:14.380 attorney general to go
00:26:15.720 through these questions
00:26:16.520 we had the fbi
00:26:17.760 director uh in front of
00:26:19.180 the judiciary committee
00:26:19.960 and a couple of us
00:26:21.220 asked some broad
00:26:22.000 questions i was one of
00:26:22.920 them to the fbi
00:26:24.060 director but it's
00:26:25.060 really the attorney
00:26:26.080 general that we need
00:26:26.900 to know because the
00:26:27.660 u.s attorneys that
00:26:28.460 report up who's being
00:26:29.700 prosecuted and what's
00:26:30.540 going on so we need
00:26:31.760 to have hearings we
00:26:32.520 need to get to the
00:26:33.400 bottom of it and
00:26:33.920 understand it and look
00:26:35.080 for those that should
00:26:36.140 be being prosecuted
00:26:37.040 fine but we want to
00:26:39.060 know the truth and we
00:26:39.760 want to know the ones
00:26:40.380 who are being held and
00:26:42.260 uh what they're being
00:26:42.880 charged with so i have
00:26:44.460 read things from
00:26:45.400 attorneys of people
00:26:46.860 that uh say they're
00:26:49.180 being held again until
00:26:50.800 now i didn't even
00:26:51.520 question that they were
00:26:52.500 actually being held
00:26:53.500 um and and and i
00:26:55.980 can't seem to get
00:26:57.320 a handle on any of
00:26:59.800 it and they say
00:27:00.740 that they can't get
00:27:02.800 a handle on it um
00:27:04.740 and let me go back
00:27:05.940 to my question when i
00:27:06.800 when i asked you how
00:27:07.780 unusual is this
00:27:09.340 what i mean is you're
00:27:11.460 a former prosecutor
00:27:12.440 how unusual is it that
00:27:14.460 you at this point
00:27:15.880 can't even really seem
00:27:17.200 to know where people
00:27:18.440 are or what has
00:27:19.360 happened
00:27:19.760 well i think it it is
00:27:22.940 um you know this is a
00:27:25.660 unique circumstance
00:27:26.320 right so it's not like
00:27:27.220 i go around and know
00:27:28.300 currently every single
00:27:30.280 crime that's being
00:27:31.620 punished across every
00:27:33.100 united states attorney's
00:27:34.020 office but for
00:27:35.200 something of this
00:27:35.980 magnitude now some of
00:27:36.960 this information is
00:27:37.680 public right i mean
00:27:38.420 you can go look and
00:27:39.640 see some of the
00:27:40.760 information about what's
00:27:41.720 been charged and so
00:27:42.660 forth but in terms of
00:27:44.120 how long why and what
00:27:45.780 and what procedures
00:27:46.460 they're putting in
00:27:47.080 place and why certain
00:27:48.240 people are being
00:27:48.700 detained and not we
00:27:49.940 don't have that
00:27:50.540 information and we
00:27:51.740 need to know that
00:27:52.440 information all of
00:27:53.440 that is highly
00:27:54.440 political and it's
00:27:55.900 irregular what we've
00:27:56.900 been being told is
00:27:58.280 that in some cases
00:27:59.380 you know they're
00:28:00.400 they're being told
00:28:01.100 that the prosecutors
00:28:01.880 are being told yeah
00:28:02.980 don't you don't have
00:28:04.120 any discretion here
00:28:05.000 you just have to go
00:28:05.960 charge the crime
00:28:06.860 right that's a
00:28:08.460 that's a policy choice
00:28:10.220 by the department of
00:28:11.120 justice to say to a
00:28:12.400 united states attorney
00:28:13.720 an assistant united
00:28:14.860 states attorney you're
00:28:16.100 going to go charge
00:28:16.900 these crimes as
00:28:18.220 opposed to hold
00:28:19.420 on you take in all
00:28:20.560 the facts as a
00:28:21.200 prosecutor right i
00:28:21.920 have to exercise
00:28:22.620 judgment discretion to
00:28:24.960 make a determination so
00:28:26.060 that's what i really
00:28:27.220 want to know who
00:28:28.560 who's ordered what in
00:28:30.180 terms of how people
00:28:31.100 are being punished and
00:28:31.960 prosecuted because if
00:28:33.540 if a prosecutor looks
00:28:34.840 at it and says okay i
00:28:36.160 have video of you
00:28:37.580 punching a cop and
00:28:38.620 hitting a cop so i'm
00:28:39.880 charging you with this
00:28:40.760 crime okay fair enough
00:28:42.540 but but if someone is
00:28:44.620 like well you crossed a
00:28:45.560 line and and basically
00:28:46.600 the policy is we don't
00:28:47.560 care prosecute right
00:28:49.600 that's prosecutorial
00:28:50.680 discretion that's being
00:28:51.520 said it's not being
00:28:52.540 allowed to occur by
00:28:54.420 policy so that's why
00:28:55.780 thomas and i and some
00:28:56.740 others are going to
00:28:57.220 start pressing this
00:28:57.920 really hard uh we've
00:28:59.500 sent letters now we
00:29:00.860 need to really start
00:29:01.540 kind of you know
00:29:02.140 figuring out how to
00:29:02.760 turn up the heat to
00:29:03.720 elevate this uh to find
00:29:05.140 out all the facts well
00:29:06.440 anything we can do to
00:29:07.500 to help i mean i i
00:29:08.740 want people who are
00:29:09.740 guilty of a real crime
00:29:11.080 to pay the price that
00:29:12.860 the that anybody
00:29:13.960 should pay for that
00:29:15.420 particular crime um
00:29:17.140 but i i am very very
00:29:19.060 concerned uh about the
00:29:20.920 way this has been
00:29:22.100 handled really from the
00:29:23.340 get-go because like you
00:29:24.500 said it does feel very
00:29:25.620 political uh and now i
00:29:27.560 read today that the
00:29:29.540 military is using spying
00:29:32.360 devices and eavesdropping
00:29:34.380 devices etc etc the way
00:29:36.580 they would on populations
00:29:38.580 overseas and they're using
00:29:41.020 that in washington dc as
00:29:43.280 part of this new security
00:29:44.700 program in washington
00:29:46.480 um well and we we want
00:29:48.160 to know and we want to
00:29:48.940 be able to see and
00:29:49.520 compare this to what
00:29:50.380 occurred in portland last
00:29:52.060 summer right i mean when
00:29:53.040 when when federal
00:29:54.040 buildings the courthouse
00:29:55.260 was being ransacked and
00:29:56.840 and what were your
00:29:57.780 priorities what are the
00:29:58.860 priorities of this
00:29:59.680 administration in terms
00:30:00.860 of prosecuting those
00:30:01.840 crimes and we need to go
00:30:03.320 through and see this and
00:30:04.240 compare it and show so the
00:30:05.360 american people can know
00:30:06.460 justice is being served
00:30:08.000 blindly as it's supposed
00:30:09.520 to be chip thank you
