In breaking news, New York AG Letitia James has been indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on charges including mortgage fraud, bank fraud, and lying to a financial institution. I point out that all of these charges are more serious than the charges that James fabricated against President Donald Trump in the state of New York. And this indictment, despite the very best effort of career prosecutors, read that as Democrats who only yesterday leaked a story which said that a career prosecutor and department head Elizabeth Yussi's own internal investigation determined that there was no probable cause to charge James.
00:00:41.840Well, in breaking news, New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on charges including mortgage fraud, bank fraud, and lying to a financial institution.
00:00:59.760I point out that all of these charges are more serious than the charges that James fabricated against President Donald Trump in the state of New York.
00:01:10.480And this indictment, despite the very best effort of career prosecutors, read that as Democrats, who only yesterday leaked a story which said that career prosecutor and department head Elizabeth Yussi's own internal investigation determined that there was no probable cause to charge James.
00:01:36.420That leak in itself turns out to be a crime.
00:01:40.280In other words, leaking the results of an ongoing investigation is a violation of 28 CFR 50.2, unauthorized disclosure of pending investigations based on the Department of Justice manual.
00:01:57.580If you read into this, it's actually a little worse than it sounds.
00:02:01.360You assume, perhaps wrongly, that this story that was leaked to NBC and the UK Daily Mail only yesterday to try to stop the criminal indictment of Letitia James didn't actually come from this woman, Yussi, but was leaked by two other DOJ employees.
00:02:51.780Failed to disclose his stunning conflict of interest that his father-in-law, Eric Siebert, the U.S. attorney's father-in-law, his wife's father, was the godfather to James Comey's daughter.
00:03:06.360That means he should have recused himself from the Comey case.
00:03:09.680But instead of doing so, he had prosecutors file a 51-page report advising against the charges of James Comey.
00:03:19.480The president fired him, and the grand jury heard the evidence presented to them by Lindsey Halligan, and that's how James Comey was charged.
00:03:33.500This is, of course, based originally on a referral from federal housing regulator Bill Pulte.
00:03:42.500All of the records involved in the investigation are a matter of public record, meaning there were no proprietary government records used in this investigation.
00:03:53.640Anyone with a laptop can see how and why Letitia James broke the law.
00:04:04.640In the meantime, President Donald Trump has returned the United States to commemorating Christopher Columbus's arrival in America as a federal holiday.
00:04:17.640Pardon me, gone is Indigenous People's Day, that woke and politically correct title, replaced the holiday dedicated to the famous Italian explorer.
00:04:33.440The first recorded celebration of Columbus's voyage to the United States actually came in 1792.
00:04:42.940There were then events in New York and Baltimore.
00:04:45.660This issue is very important to Italian-Americans across the country.
00:04:51.560It became a federal holiday originally in 1937 under Franklin Roosevelt, largely due to heavy lobbying by the Italian-American groups and the Knights of Columbus, a very famous Catholic fraternal organization.
00:05:06.320It was initially observed as a holiday on October 12th each year.
00:05:10.740The holiday gained traction as a way to celebrate Italian-American pride and culture and Columbus's role in connecting the old and new worlds.
00:05:21.660Of course, the 1968 Uniform Holidays Act changed the date, effective 1971, to create a consistent three-day holiday weekend for federal employees.
00:05:34.760Over time, however, the holiday has faced criticism from woke lunatics who accused Columbus of colonization, violence, and exploitation of indigenous peoples.
00:05:46.600And then, of course, it was replaced with Indigenous Peoples Day.
00:05:51.440We're going back to calling it exactly what it is, Columbus Day.
00:05:55.680It will remain a federal holiday, but the observance is different across the country.
00:06:00.440The federal office is closed, but many states like California and Hawaii, largely woke states, have opted for alternative commemorations.
00:06:13.320That would be the Indigenous Peoples Day.
00:06:17.400So President Donald Trump made the announcement today.
00:06:51.900Italian-Americans and Catholic voters in general have played an extraordinarily important part in the new political coalition that successfully elected Donald Trump.
00:07:04.700Catholics and Italian-American Catholics particularly used to be a reliably Democrat constituency in this country,
00:07:12.600although in the northeastern United States, because the Irish arrived earlier than the Italians,
00:07:19.200the Democrat Party in states like Massachusetts and Connecticut was the province of the Irish.
00:07:27.260Italian-Americans who came here later learned there was no place for them in the Democrat urban machines of the northeast.
00:20:10.560I mean, in these shutdowns, when the funding agreement runs out, the government provides for essential services.
00:20:20.100So Social Security checks, for example, continue to go out.
00:20:24.020But this fight is not difficult to understand.
00:20:27.900Again, the Republicans put forward what's called a continuing resolution, which is a temporary agreement in which both parties agree to continue to fund the government at current levels of spending.
00:20:40.300Not that we don't need to cut federal spending, because we do.
00:20:43.900The Democrats refused to agree to that, wanting to add $1.4 billion in new spending, the focal point of which, even though they deny it, was, in fact, free health care for illegal immigrants.
00:20:59.160Chuck Schumer, and this is the Schumer shutdown, is either delusional or knows something that I don't,
00:21:06.460because he's celebrating the government shutdown, claiming that it gets better every day for Democrats in Congress.
00:21:12.980Chuck Schumer said, every day gets better for us.
00:21:16.280It's because we've thought about this long in advance, and we knew that health care would be the focal point on September 30th, and we were prepared for it.
00:21:24.420Their whole theory was, threaten us, bamboozle us, and we would submit in a day or two.
00:21:29.280But then Senator Mike Lee of Utah released a video proving that the shutdown is indeed caused by Chuck Schumer and his allies in Congress, insisting on free health care for illegal immigrants.
00:21:41.860Schumer's statements, in my opinion, show that Democrats don't really care about the well-being of the people.
00:21:47.900They're playing their games and shutting down the government with the intent to cause pain and panic amongst the public, creating the chaos they desire to capitalize on for the midterm elections.
00:21:59.000Now, in the past, Republicans have been blamed for several shutdowns.
00:22:04.220But in this case, I think President Donald Trump and his advisors very definitely have the high ground,
00:22:11.160and the Democrats have virtually an impossible position to defend.
00:22:17.420The agenda of the Democrats is simply to flood our country with illegal immigrants, warp the historic demographics of his country,
00:22:25.540bribe the illegals with benefits paid for by hardworking taxpayers, so they eventually vote Democrat in perpetuity.
00:22:33.580The Democrats are running a gangster operation against the U.S. Constitution, in my opinion.
00:22:37.380They, meaning the entirety of the Democratic apparatus, not just Antifa, ought to be treated like the criminal thugs that they are when they break the law.
00:22:47.500I believe that this is also a historic opportunity for President Donald Trump and his extraordinarily capable director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vogt,
00:23:00.300to slash federal programs in the hundreds of millions, if not billions, from which no American taxpayer is benefiting,
00:23:11.180as well as getting rid of some of these bureaucratic jobs for high-paying and well-paying government employees who don't even bother showing up to the office.
00:23:51.800Donald Trump, I believe, is now serious about trying to implement a number of the Doge findings by Elon Musk,
00:24:01.800where Musk uncovered not millions, not billions, but trillions of dollars of waste, fraud, and corruption.
00:24:10.880And the most shocking thing, of course, that Elon Musk discovered was that millions and millions of dollars were being funneled through USAID
00:24:21.460and was going out the back door to these enormous NGOs, these non-government, non-profit organizations,
00:24:29.300where that money was being weaponized for political games to finance those trying to tear down America.
00:24:38.600And in some cases, even those who were advocating mayhem, violence, and death.
00:24:45.100So USAID will seek to be, USAID was actually never passed by the Congress, interestingly enough.
00:24:55.260The USAID was first founded by President John F. Kennedy.
00:25:00.460It was founded through executive order.
00:25:03.100And it morphed from its original, I think, noble purpose of being a bulk work against communism in this hemisphere,
00:25:13.940Central and South America, to being an ATM machine for the radical left.
00:25:20.380So the fact that President Trump and Stephen Miller and Russ Vogt are working to shut down USAID is a great, great benefit.
00:25:31.340The White House has just discovered more than $100 million in taxpayer funds going into the illegal Antifa network.
00:25:40.440The White House discovered these funds funneled through various non-profit groups into the coffers of Antifa
00:25:46.700and announced these findings yesterday.
00:25:49.620They were presented to President Donald Trump during a recent press conference.
00:25:54.460Some of these non-profits include the Arabella Network, the Tides Network, and the Ford Foundation.
00:26:01.340The administration is referring to these groups collectively as Riot, Inc.
00:26:05.860The director of research at the Government Accountability Institute, Seamus Brunner, said,
00:26:11.720We have identified dozens of radical left organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations,
00:26:19.080but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than $100 million from U.S. taxpayers.
00:26:29.960The recommendations to defeat left-wing terrorism, what we see going on today in Portland, in Seattle, in Chicago, in Washington, D.C.
00:26:39.960And if the left continues their intransience and their resistance to Donald Trump's efforts to fulfill the mandate that he was given in the last election,
00:26:51.080I predict will spread to other cities.
00:26:54.640They include additional investigations now into these left-wing networks.
00:26:59.860They also include an end of government funding.
00:27:03.800There will be new rules on financial disclosures.
00:27:06.520There will be a greater effort to review the non-profit status of these groups.
00:27:10.780And there's going to be a strengthening of anti-fraud and anti-violence laws.
00:27:16.020These recommendations, in my opinion, don't even go far enough.
00:27:18.680It's time to start charging and arresting those individuals behind the terror network.
00:27:24.080This has nothing to do with free speech.
00:27:25.980This has everything to do with those who are fomenting actual violence.
00:27:31.240These organizations need to be declared as what they are, enemy combatants,
00:27:36.320subject to indefinite detention under the National Defense Authorization Act, and then ship them to Gitmo.
00:27:42.580This is a war, and this left-wing domestic enemy is more dangerous to America than ISIS could ever have been.
00:27:50.740President Donald Trump, with help from Stephen Miller, is going to deconstruct this dangerous cabal
00:27:57.740that is financing violence against the American people.
00:28:01.220Meanwhile, there is a controversy over the policy of the Trump administration,
00:28:07.820which has, in their ongoing fight against Marxism in this hemisphere,
00:28:15.280bombed narco-trafficking boats connected to Venezuela.
00:28:21.680I want to commend Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his hard line against Maduro in Venezuela,
00:28:32.760against the regime in Venezuela, against the regime in Cuba,
00:28:37.580and also an awareness of the growing regime in Honduras.
00:28:42.100And a new poll shows that 71% of Americans, including a majority of Democrats,
00:28:48.040are in full support of the U.S. military being used to blow up narco-trafficking boats in South America.
00:28:55.240This poll was conducted by the Harvard-Harris Organization,
00:28:59.520so this is not some right-wing operation,
00:29:02.100showed that 89% of Republicans, 67% of Independents,
00:29:06.200and 56% of Democrats approve of this policy by the Trump administration.
00:29:12.100Chuck Schumer has moved in the Senate with others,
00:29:16.060including Richard Blumenthal, the Vietnam War hero who lied about his service in that conflict,
00:29:22.360to limit the president's ability to destroy these drug vehicles.
00:29:28.580It's very clear that nation-states like Venezuela, like Cuba, like Honduras,
00:29:37.220they give lip service to drug trafficking detection,
00:29:43.540but the truth is these are narco-Marxist states.
00:29:48.200And President Donald Trump and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio know that.
00:29:53.600So while the Democrats and others scream about civil liberties and executive power,
00:29:59.520President Trump is once and again delivering with his hard-line anti-drug policies,
00:30:04.220which clearly, according to this poll, are supported by a broad majority of the public.
00:30:11.440The Trump administration had ordered the destruction of at least four boats,
00:30:16.840allegedly operated by South American cartels since early September,
00:30:21.680with over 20 drug traffickers being killed in those explosions.
00:30:25.940The Trump administration declared South American drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations,
00:30:31.120and told Congress last week that the U.S. is now in a non-international armed conflict
