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 0.65

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.91

00:10:19.820 call your senators call the white house alta fixler bring her home 1.00

00:10:26.100 this is the best of the glenbeck program

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 0.99

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

00:13:20.380 what are we doing

00:13:22.920 bring me your tired

00:13:26.480 your huddled masses

00:13:27.820 yearning

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

00:14:06.760 to breathe free

00:14:08.860 these are literally

00:14:15.000 the tempest

00:14:15.740 tossed

00:14:16.320 and while we are

00:14:19.320 welcoming

00:14:20.000 people from

00:14:21.060 any country

00:14:22.540 all over the world

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

00:14:55.040 away

00:14:55.680 shame on you 0.77

00:14:58.780 shame on you 0.77

00:15:07.000 you

00:15:07.940 you know the republicans

00:15:16.260 want to take a

00:15:17.040 take a page out of the

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 0.99

00:17:10.340 he sucked 0.97

00:17:11.540 at one job 0.99

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 1.00

00:17:21.860 he's a moron 1.00

00:17:23.000 wearing a che 1.00

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

00:17:35.600 their ass 1.00

00:17:36.080 from their elbow 1.00

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 0.98

00:18:09.500 shot you in the 0.99

00:18:10.180 head just for 1.00

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

00:20:43.440 notice nobody's

00:20:44.500 talking to

00:20:45.060 sweden

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

00:22:06.520 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 0.98

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
