Trump has finally had enough of the Democrats blocking his nominees for U.S. Attorneys in the Justice Department. He has called for a change in the way the Blue Slip process is used to nominate US Attorneys and judges.
00:00:55.520It makes it impossible to appoint a judge or a U.S. attorney, and it's a shame.
00:01:01.420And the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves that they allow this to go on,
00:01:05.300because I can't appoint a U.S. attorney that's not a Democrat, because they put a block on it.
00:01:10.940So if you appoint in Virginia or in New Jersey or in California a U.S. attorney or a judge, I mean, a judge situation is ridiculous.
00:01:23.320The only people that you can get by are Democrats, because they will put a hold on it.
00:01:28.140If I put up George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to be U.S. attorney in New Jersey or to be U.S. attorney in Virginia,
00:01:38.360we have Democrat senators, they will not approve them.
00:01:42.140And this is a gentleman's agreement that's lasted for too long, and it doesn't make it possible, especially in light of what's going on today.
00:01:51.740It means you can't appoint a Republican U.S. attorney, and we don't play the same game with them, but they do.
00:02:00.960And I hope that somebody speaks to Senator Grassley about doing something about the blue slip, because I'm telling you, John,
00:02:10.620I put up great people, top people, highest education, the best lawyers to be like U.S. attorney, and both senators.
00:03:25.320I mean, this is under Republican leadership in the Senate.
00:03:28.840Now, President Trump Furious says today, Alina Habba had announced that she'd be stepping down from her role as U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals disqualified her.
00:03:39.280Trump nominee said she would still serve in the Justice Department, just in another role.
00:03:44.080Attorney General Pam Bondi said she will seek further review for the Third Circuit's ruling.
00:03:47.980Alina Habba said in a statement that her fight now stretches across the country as we wait for the review for the court's ruling.
00:03:55.440She will serve as U.S. Department of Justice as a senior advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys.
00:04:01.540Now, in August, U.S. District Judge Matthew Brown, an Obama appointee, said that Alina Habba is not lawfully holding the office of U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
00:04:11.860The Pennsylvania, take a guess of this, get a load of this.
00:04:15.400The Pennsylvania-based attorney, a federal judge, rather, oversaw the challenge to Alina Habba's authority because the judges in New Jersey had a conflict of interest after they ousted her from the position as interim attorney the month prior.
00:04:30.160A group of federal judges over the summer declined to extend Habba's term as interim U.S. attorney after Democrat minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, launched a presser campaign to oust her.
00:04:40.800Now, Habba previously resigned as interim U.S. attorney and became the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey after Trump's DOJ outmaneuvered those judges.
00:04:50.140However, last week, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling that found Alina was serving unlawfully.
00:04:57.560Now, this is all to the doing of, as you heard President Trump say that right there, of Chuck Grassley.
00:05:06.120He's the one who controls this whole damn thing.
00:05:08.240Now, for those of you who are not familiar with it, and most of you probably aren't because it's such a minute detail, I didn't even know about it until, you know, this whole thing started happening.
00:05:19.820The blue slip policy, so pretty much what it is, is when you appoint a U.S. attorney to those states, you get a blue slip, each senator from those states get a blue slip, and they have to turn them back in.
00:05:30.480If they don't turn them back in, if they don't return them at all, the U.S. attorney you put forth is disqualified, and if they return them with bad marks, it's almost like a report card, they're disqualified as well.
00:05:41.740So what do you do in states like New Jersey where it's run by two Marxist Dems?
00:05:45.800What do you do in states like Virginia where it's run by Marxist Dems?
00:05:49.920What do you do in states like New York where it's run by two Marxist Dems?
00:05:56.600This is what President Trump is faced with because Chuck Grassley simply doesn't want to do his job.
00:06:02.840I just don't understand how much longer we're supposed to put up with this nonsense.
00:06:07.740John Thune, what is John Thune doing about it?
00:06:10.640Sitting on his hands doing absolutely nothing, hoping they lose the midterm elections so he doesn't have to worry about this?
00:06:16.920What do you do in states like New York where it's run by two Marxist Dems?
00:06:19.920Now, as of today, as of this afternoon, about 10 to 12 U.S. attorneys have been Senate confirmed during President Trump's second term.
00:07:37.480But somehow he's still a U.S. senator.
00:07:41.180I mean, which brings you to the next thing of term limits, which I think is long overdue.
00:07:47.700You've got Mitch McConnell who can't walk.
00:07:50.980I mean, it's sad to see that we literally treat Congress as a retirement home.
00:07:56.980We sit here and we pay these people $275,000 a year, $175,000 over a year over in the House to literally just be babysat by their staffers.
00:08:11.420Mitch McConnell is walked with his staff, like carried by his staff to go to the Senate floor.
00:09:30.480And, I mean, as we've seen how well that's worked out with these radical judges just coming after him on everything.
00:09:37.420I mean, his presidency will essentially be over, and it's just troubling to think that after what this man has went through, the hurdles and the hoops, the bullets that he's went through to get back where he is,
00:09:52.820only for guys like John Thune and Mike Johnson to just sabotage it all.
00:11:23.260YouTube, I've got to be honest with you, has been really great with not censoring us.
00:11:28.400And, you know, very grateful with that, with what we've dealt with in the past with them, which we won't even go back down that rabbit hole.
00:11:36.680But thankful to YouTube for trying to play it at least a little bit straight this time around.
00:11:42.700So there's a purge happening in Congress.
00:11:45.500Members are retiring both on the right and both on the left.
00:11:48.300But the news story is, if you're, you know, listening to the mainstream media, legacy media, that there's a purge among Republicans.
00:11:57.440Republicans are leaving at alarmingly high rates.
00:12:01.580President Trump was asked about it earlier today.
00:14:27.540So, just going past it so far, I mean, of the 10 or 12 names that I've named, how many, five or six of them, are just like terrible rhinos who have done everything they can to try to stifle President Trump's agenda?
00:14:42.860Wesley Hunt of Texas is running for the Senate, so he's resigning.
00:14:46.540Ashley Hinson of Iowa is running for the Senate.
00:14:48.680So, you've got some people who are seeking higher office.
00:14:51.300Now, it's not necessarily that they're retiring and they won't come back.
00:14:54.860We saw Marco Rubio, when he ran for president, said he would never run for Senate again, and he jumped in the race late.
00:15:01.500So, you've got 31, maybe some of them come back after, you know, not winning their races.
00:15:06.680Wesley Hunt of Texas is running for the Senate, you know, running against John Cornyn and Ken Paxton.
00:15:12.460So, you know, likely not going to get the nomination when you're running up against two of those heavy hitters.
00:20:01.060And so it's like, if you do the no tax thing, for people that are already, say, struggling and aren't really paying taxes in the first place, it doesn't really, exactly.
00:20:12.880They may want those checks like they got.
00:21:58.680I mean, look, the President of the United States and his Secretary of Defense are conducting murder on the high seas.
00:22:05.720They're committing murder and Americans should care.
00:22:08.240Like, look, none of us like drug traffickers.
00:22:10.760But we have laws that say that drug traffickers don't get summarily executed.
00:22:15.620And if it's happening off the coast of America with people that we don't know, just give it time before Donald Trump starts doing this same kind of thing to people we do know right here at home.
00:22:28.220It matters if the President of the United States breaks the law.
00:22:31.400So those of you folks out there who question me when I go after Rand Paul, there's my example of why.
00:22:42.160That's who Rand Paul is aligned with on these drug strikes.
00:22:48.240I think it was out on the West Coast where the Coast Guard actually pulled up to it with machine gun gunners out on their choppers and started taking out the engines.
00:22:57.780And I think they seized 20,000 pounds of cocaine.
00:23:03.120So I went on Twitter to troll Rand Paul to ask him if there were mostly peaceful fishermen out there.
00:23:10.740Were they using the cocaine as bait for the fish?
00:23:13.440I don't know what else it would be used for.
00:23:17.420But that's the kind of rhetoric that Rand Paul and Thomas Massey are behind.
00:23:22.620That President Trump is killing innocent people.
00:23:27.780But the innocent people who are killed each and every day from the illicit drugs on the streets, no, they're just chopped liver.
00:24:05.940Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors.
00:24:09.500As mayor, I'll protect the rights of every single New Yorker, and that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call the city their home.
00:24:17.100But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.
00:24:20.980If you encounter ICE, these are the things that every New Yorker should know.
00:24:24.380First, ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or a private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge.
00:24:33.340If ICE does not have a judicial warrant signed by a judge, you have the right to say, I do not consent to entry, and the right to keep your door closed.
00:24:45.740Sometimes ICE will show you paperwork that looks like this, and tell you that they have the right to arrest you.
00:25:52.840Because Chris Ray and the good folks over there, they would have, I mean, they would have had to come out and tell us, right?
00:26:01.960The Gateway Pundit, they do a great job, truth, justice, and the American way, they're always at the forefront, has this piece out today.
00:26:09.100The January 6th Select Committee, chaired by GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk, posted its pipe bomb report and compared it to the affidavit released by Patel's FBI.
00:26:19.160In April of 2021, the case team identified, as a redacted user, who was in the area of the DNC at the time the suspect can be seen on the video footage using their phone.
00:26:31.920The FBI requested and received the historical cell tower data.
00:26:36.600And he, the user, as of April 2021, the case team was attempting to further analyze the user's movements.
00:26:46.580It is ultimately unclear what happened with respect to this lead, the January 6th Committee pipe bomb report read.
00:26:53.460The affidavit released by Kash Patel's revealed the FBI revealed Biden's FBI had to have known Brian Cole was the pipe bomb suspect back in April of 2021.
00:27:03.440Quote, provider records show that Cole's cell phone connected with the provider's cell phone towers, consistent with Cole's cell phone being in the area of the RNC and DNC, on January 2nd of 2021.
00:27:18.820Cole's cell phone engaged in approximately seven data session transactions with provider towers between 7.39 p.m. and 8.24 p.m.
00:27:28.580Providers' historical cell site data shows that specific towers for each of the transactions, along with the select towers, that engage in the transaction with Cole's cell phone, according to the affidavit.
00:27:41.460Now, Cole's family says that he has autistic recluse and a computer nerd who lived in the basement of his parents' Woodbridge, Virginia home.
00:27:50.320Brian Cole's grandmother told the Daily Mail that her grandson has no party affiliation and that he is not a Trump supporter.
00:27:56.260Brian Cole made his first appearance in court before a magistrate judge in D.C. on Friday.
00:28:10.460Before we go, folks, we spoke a little bit about the House seats today and people retiring.
00:28:15.620Suzy Wiles, President Trump's chief of staff, out today on a podcast.
00:28:19.540And it's apparent, it seems apparent at least, that President Trump is once again going to bail out the rhinos and the people who can't carry their own weight, which drives me nuts.
00:28:30.200Because I think President Trump works far too hard saving these people who don't even want to go out and campaign for themselves.
00:28:36.560Suzy Wiles reiterating today, though, President Trump will be out there stomping for these folks.
00:28:40.860He's going to have a fun next year, but we're going to put him on the campaign trail, too.
00:28:45.420Typically, just a little bit of campaign speak, if I may.
00:29:41.860I am so frustrated with all of the people that gave abundantly to organizations like ours and others over the last four years to make sure that we want.
