00:00:00.000 getting ready for a game means being ready for anything like packing a spare stick i like to
00:00:09.560 be prepared that's why i remember 988 canada's suicide crisis helpline it's good to know just
00:00:15.720 in case anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder
00:00:20.520 anytime 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in canada
00:00:25.480 mark wayne mullen who is announced that he is replacing christy noem he is going through his
00:00:34.220 hearings there's a lot of different clips rand paul there's a moment he gets emotional rob if
00:00:38.580 you want to play this clip with him and rand paul that's a good one right there go for it
00:00:41.480 locations led to an infection in the space between my lung and chest wall
00:00:45.080 i spent a week in the hospital having the infection lavaged every six hours through a chest tube
00:00:49.940 Recently, Senator Mullen, if you have time to listen, you were confronted by constituents
00:00:58.260 that were angry because you voted against my amendment to stop all funding for refugee
00:01:02.980 welfare programs.
00:01:04.560 Instead of explaining your vote to continue these welfare programs for refugees, you decided
00:01:10.440 to transfer the blame.
00:01:11.980 You told the media that I was a freaking snake and that you completely understood why I had
00:01:17.160 been assaulted.
00:01:19.940 I was shocked that you would justify and celebrate this violent assault.
00:01:23.840 That caused me so much pain and my family so much pain.
00:01:28.120 I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents
00:01:32.040 is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.
00:01:41.040 Being confronted by your constituents.
00:01:42.760 Does he respond, Rob?
00:01:44.640 Senator Mulligan, your constituents.
00:01:47.820 Is there a response there, Rob, or no?
00:01:49.660 right here okay chairman made uh calling me a liar sir i think there's everybody in this room knows
00:01:57.260 that i'm very blunt and direct to the point and if i have something to say i'll say it directly
00:02:01.740 to your face if you recall back in your back in my house days we actually did have this conversation
00:02:06.900 because remarks that i've made you're in a room i simply addressed that i said i could understand
00:02:14.280 because of the behavior you were having that i could understand why your neighbor by the neighbor
00:02:19.120 did what he did. As far as my terms of the snake in the grass, sir, I work around this room to try
00:02:24.880 to fix problems. I've worked with many people in this room. Seems like you fight Republicans more
00:02:30.140 than you work with us. I did address those remarks. I did explain your gimmicks by the
00:02:35.320 amendment you put forth. And as far as me saying that I invoke violence, I don't. I don't think
00:02:41.800 anybody should be hit by surprise. I don't like that. But if I do have something to say,
00:02:46.220 everybody in this room knows i'll come straight to you i'll say it publicly and i'll say it
00:02:51.560 privately but i'll never say it behind your back so for you to say i'm a liar sir that's not
00:02:57.680 accurate and i got proof to say that because you have spent millions of dollars in my campaigns
00:03:03.080 against me because we just don't get along however sir that doesn't keep me at all from doing my job
00:03:11.240 I can have different opinions with everybody in this room,
00:03:13.720 but it's Secretary of Homeland.
00:03:15.320 Listen, I like both of them.
00:03:16.600 It sounds funny.
00:03:17.240 Really, I think there is a place for Rand Paul
00:03:19.620 because he kind of gives the story
00:03:21.940 that you don't think about sometimes.
00:03:24.120 But I also like, you know, Mark Wayne.
00:03:26.480 I do.
00:03:27.180 I think he's tough as well.
00:03:28.480 But there's also another clip, Rob,
00:03:30.360 where he gets emotional talking about the president.
00:03:32.540 I think you have that as well.
00:03:34.160 He tells the story where he gets emotional and go for it.
00:03:40.860 it's not about president trump it's about my son so my son was a really world-class athlete
00:03:50.020 um and january 17th of 2020 which mind you was an election year he had a really serious brain
00:03:57.160 injury uh woke up 26 hours later he's a different kid um uh we almost lost him
00:04:04.040 uh for 26 hours he had extremely low pulse um there was a time they that they thought that
00:04:12.800 they lost his pulse altogether and when he woke up he was just different i mean here he had a
00:04:18.580 world-class athlete that wrestled all over the world since he was 12 years old and he couldn't
00:04:21.880 touch his nose he couldn't walk without shuffling his feet he had short-term memory loss um he
00:04:28.260 couldn't control his muscles couldn't add five plus three he was in high school at that time
00:04:32.720 um had to learn how to read walk everything and the president found out about it and he gave me
00:04:37.360 a call immediately and uh one thing that the president joked about was like he said he said
00:04:42.860 let me get this straight he doesn't know who you and christie are but he knew i was because the
00:04:46.260 only question he got right is who the president was and he said trump with his cocky grin on his
00:04:49.840 face and but the president didn't understand the severity of it but he heard it in my voice and
00:04:54.860 immediately he went to work uh he i told him we had to get to bakersfield california to the center
00:04:58.820 for Neuroskills, which is one of the best neural rehabilitation places in the world.
00:05:05.140 And the president offered to send his plane, his personal plane.
00:05:08.620 This is the president of the United States.
00:05:09.960 And I said, sir, we can't fly.
00:05:11.500 We've got to drive.
00:05:12.920 We get there, and he called almost every day for two weeks, checking on Jim.
00:05:16.220 And then he says, I'm going to come see him.
00:05:18.540 And now this is the middle of the election.
00:05:20.400 This is Bakersfield, California.
00:05:22.100 Really not an area he's got to go campaign.
00:05:24.360 He took the time to come up there and see Jim.
00:05:28.060 And the center told us that the short-term memory loss, something would trigger it.
00:05:33.660 Some big event would eventually trigger where he would start retaining stuff.
00:05:36.360 Until then, he was still having issues.
00:05:38.740 And the president arrived.
00:05:41.840 And, of course, there was cameras and everybody around.
00:05:44.340 And, of course, none of the media ever talked about it, which was funny because the president called him on stage and talked to him.
00:05:49.880 And then we went to the back.
00:05:51.280 If you want to watch the rest of it, it's a very emotional story he says about.
00:05:54.580 These are the stories you don't hear about with the president, what he does behind closed doors.
00:05:58.060 anyways he's being challenged the the the you know the sean o'brien president of teamster sitting
00:06:03.780 right behind him vinny how do you think this is going to end up i i think it's going to go through
00:06:08.340 i mean you could see how the the democratic party was losing their minds they're like you know are
00:06:13.260 you gonna and because at the end of the day the reason the dhs and everything is shut down pat
00:06:17.600 the democrats are losing their minds it's the illegals let's not forget this whole thing he's
00:06:22.660 the Department of Homeland Security,
00:06:24.380 we were flooded with 20 million illegals,
00:06:27.300 and the main thing, besides the sex trafficking
00:06:29.800 and all that stuff, which I believe in my heart of hearts,
00:06:31.540 and Alejandro Mayorkas, was at the helm.
00:06:34.060 It's all on him.
00:06:35.080 Okay, he knows exactly what the hell he was doing.
00:06:36.880 Not Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, and all those rats.
00:06:39.940 It's illegals.
00:06:41.560 All the airports, if everybody's out there right now
00:06:43.440 listening to this at an airport,
00:06:44.800 and there's a long line, like in Atlanta or LAX or anywhere,
00:06:48.340 it's because Democrats are fighting for illegals
00:06:50.880 to be able to vote in the elections full stop don't lie to yourself don't let hakeem jeffries
00:06:57.100 or anybody try to blow smoke that is it ladies and gentlemen and one thing i'm a little upset
00:07:02.600 about pat they got rid of the other guy this person is coming in i hope it doesn't stop
00:07:07.840 because if everybody's noticed because minnesota was fighting back and uh telling them go fight
00:07:12.700 the gestapo and fight hitler and two people lost their lives everything has slowed down this mass
00:07:17.900 deportation has slowed down okay and i'm sorry i voted for the people that do not belong here to
00:07:24.500 leave so that the people that do belong here get all the money get all the uh support and everything
00:07:29.460 that they need and all the safety and no more of our freaking young girls across this country get
00:07:33.880 raped and freaking taken advantage of all the negative stuff that's happening okay i hope he
00:07:39.260 comes in and does his job and doesn't fall for the freaking left's rhetoric of all you guys are
00:07:43.900 gestapo all these people are are good no no the rules are the rules you have to leave if you're
00:07:48.920 freaking here illegally and that's it i just hope that because he seems like a tough guy but the
00:07:53.360 last tough guy that was here got got booted period i think it's i think it comes down to how
00:07:58.460 um i i see there uh the human side of him and i just wish we could see the human side of each
00:08:05.760 other more often and he was there i think being very very honest about um his experience with
00:08:11.380 Trump. So seeing the man that people want to paint is this perpetual villain. You know what he was
00:08:17.540 doing for that family and giving encouragement to a colleague is tremendous. Now, for the position
00:08:22.460 he is interviewing for and he's going through congressional hearings, you know, there's this
00:08:27.620 big game in Washington and the big game is you said these words and we peel context away and we
00:08:34.760 just say you said these words on this date. Wait a minute. Were we yelling at each other on we were
00:08:39.940 both on CNN and there was a moderator where we're yelling at each other on a podcast where we were
00:08:47.720 we on Fox where were these words saying what's the context the game is strip away the context
00:08:52.720 and accuse you of saying those words and that is a little bit of what's going on there and by the
00:08:58.180 way I respect both guys I respect Rand Paul I respect Mark Wayne Mullen but I look at it and
00:09:04.300 I'm like, guys, you're just playing this game for the committee.
00:09:07.620 Do I think we need strong leadership for the border?
00:09:11.360 Yes, I do.
00:09:12.420 But how we were doing it previously had some serious problems.
00:09:17.280 I wanted, like everybody else, think about it, Vinny.
00:09:20.340 Do you know how many, you know what the most easiest place to find the illegal aliens are in the United States?
00:09:27.680 County jails.
00:09:29.040 Counties all over the United States have got people that have committed crimes that are there.
00:09:33.700 Why doesn't DHS just say, hey, you know what?
00:09:35.820 I'm going to help all the county jails with their budgets.
00:09:38.800 If you're holding an illegal alien, we will take custody of him.
00:09:42.280 We'll look at what he did.
00:09:43.300 And guess what?
00:09:44.120 He's going back to wherever he came from.
00:09:45.620 You do it that way, and it's a whole different visibility.
00:09:49.360 Now you're out there saying, hey, the people that immigrated illegally, that were doing something wrong, we're going to get them out.
00:09:55.620 Now you're doing that, and you're going to have the support of communities.
00:09:58.380 How we did it was a major issue, and I don't need another guy with a flamethrower.
00:10:04.740 I need someone to methodically handle the problem and move the people out.
00:10:09.400 But I like this guy's tenacity, and I like his leadership.
00:10:12.200 Well, let me ask you a question, Tommy.
00:10:13.360 I thought that they were trying to do it, but Gavin Newsom and theā€”
00:10:18.100 Oh, they were blocked.
00:10:19.160 No, they wereā€”
00:10:19.780 But they also had their own techniques.
00:10:21.520 No, no, I understand that.
00:10:22.460 But, Tom, for instance, I think he's competent, Mark Mullins, with the job, 1,000%.
00:10:26.800 is he going to be allowed to do the job?
00:10:29.400 And the view of how they did it, Tom,
00:10:31.880 you have to admit, when the media, all of them,
00:10:35.040 all in unison are saying,
00:10:36.840 you guys, look at what they're doing, they're hitting them,
00:10:38.820 and they're provoking people.
00:10:40.660 Tom, it was a call to action.
00:10:42.460 Who was Minnesota's governor?
00:10:46.040 Tim Walls.
00:10:46.880 Tim Walls, Ilhan Omar, and the whole Democratic Party
00:10:50.600 was saying, go get in their faces, Tom,
00:10:53.700 and they wanted this optic.
00:10:56.100 They wanted them.
00:10:57.220 I think they wanted these people to get killed.
00:10:59.340 They were waiting for that moment.
00:11:01.020 We talked about it.
00:11:01.780 They wanted a new George Floyd.
00:11:03.160 They wanted a martyr.
00:11:04.080 They wanted that woman that tried to run down the officers in her car.
00:11:08.960 They want those martyrs because they need those martyrs.
00:11:11.920 Because when you don't have policy.
00:11:12.840 Tom, he's asking you questions.
00:11:13.440 Yeah, so Tom, who's fault?
00:11:14.180 And I'm sorry to cut you off.
00:11:15.600 Whose fault is that?
00:11:16.780 It's not home.
00:11:17.800 It wasn't Christine Noem's fault.
00:11:19.540 Christine Noem was given a directive, an objective.
00:11:23.600 Go.
00:11:23.840 You said you were going to kick these people out.
00:11:25.920 Go do it.
00:11:26.580 That's one of the worst jobs because the other Alejandro Mayorkas
00:11:29.940 opened the door and said, come on in, and sat there in Congress
00:11:32.700 and goes, the border is closed, lying to the American public,
00:11:36.380 and he got pardoned.
00:11:37.660 And what did he get, Pat?
00:11:39.140 Did he get pardoned or preemptive pardoned?
00:11:41.380 He's untouchable right now, okay?
00:11:43.560 So I understand what you're talking about,
00:11:45.060 but when you're not allowed to do the job
00:11:47.160 and then you have the media going, just stop it.
00:11:48.540 You're saying Tom is saying that?
00:11:50.800 No, Tom was saying it looked really bad,
00:11:52.800 But whose fault was that?
00:11:54.220 CNN and everybody was saying that they were him or in Gestapo.
00:11:56.760 I'm not walking back what I said.
00:11:58.140 There were parts of it that looked really bad.
00:12:00.660 There were other parts of it that it was completely contrived resistance with pre-printed signs, fully paid for it, organized, to walk down the street and interfere with federal officers doing their job.
00:12:10.260 I agree.
00:12:10.860 But there were also things when that was going on.
00:12:13.100 It's like, wait a minute.
00:12:14.200 Can we be smarter about this?
00:12:16.120 We're being entrapped here by paid protesters.
00:12:19.220 Can we be a little bit smarter how we engage them and what we do here?
00:12:22.600 This is going to be used to create public sympathy.
00:12:25.020 You know it was going to be used.
00:12:26.140 When you walk into a field of workers picking strawberries and you just pick them up, right, that's going to get carried and look like something.
00:12:34.520 At the same time, my point was just a simple suggestion.
00:12:37.940 What about all the illegals that were in county jails?
00:12:40.460 What if you had taken them off?
00:12:42.020 What support would you have gotten from sheriff, from police, from citizens?
00:12:46.000 That's a very good point right there.
00:12:47.220 Adam, where are you at?
00:12:48.700 Well, I'm just going to take a step back here.
00:12:50.440 and uh to me this comes down to something very simple this is MAGA versus libertarians and
00:12:58.320 people like to throw that that libertarian word I'm a libertarian do you even know what that means
00:13:02.120 and I've done some research on this uh first and foremost this is a personal issue they know each
00:13:09.100 other you know you you you said you made fun of me you said it was okay hey buddy actually I did
00:13:14.640 like there was some personal beef going on right there beyond that to me Mark Wayne Mullen is like
00:13:19.780 kind of like a badass dude he'll fight somebody then go grab a beer with you that's why he's got
00:13:24.940 a sean uh o'brien sitting behind him isn't the guy that was like you want to step outside buddy
00:13:30.480 remember that clip want to go fight outside buddy give me a joke and then you have sort of like a
00:13:35.460 professor type doctor type who's sort of ideologically pure and this comes down to
00:13:39.920 what i would call maga versus the libertarianism libertarian is they have a strong ideology
00:13:45.540 but they're like weak in reality who are the big libertarians you got dr uh ron paul you got ran
00:13:54.420 paul you got thomas mass you got justin amash there's not a big libertarian movement obviously
00:13:59.160 you ended joe jorgensen's career then you had whatever the other lady was that was running
00:14:03.240 to herself she did it to herself to me these are people who have this ideological purity
00:14:08.480 but then reality smacks them smack dag in the face and they go have a seat buddy uh people
00:14:13.920 who are actually going to get stuff done are actually going to take over here so to me MAGA
00:14:18.180 you know that you can go you can argue the size and the role of government you know MAGA stands
00:14:24.020 for peace through strength the one thing I've learned about libertarians is they're just like
00:14:28.360 stay out of everything stay out of everything they want no conflict they want no issues they
00:14:35.380 want no war here's the problem with that Rand Paul and libertarians sometimes war wants you
00:14:41.260 sometimes there's people that say death to america sometimes there's people that are going to come
00:14:47.400 across our border and try to rape and pillage and kill our citizens by the way libertarians are
00:14:51.940 radically open border so that's the crux of this issue this is for dhs is this not this guy's
00:14:59.960 becoming the border czar essentially above thomas thomas homan replacing uh what's her name again
00:15:06.460 christy noem that's his role so the libertarians have been radically correct me if i'm wrong
00:15:13.360 open border advocates where this guy's like nope shut it down so at the end of the day it's this
00:15:19.600 ideologically libertarians have all these great ideas in reality ain't none of these people getting
00:15:26.200 elected for the highest office in the land none of them yeah and so i we're gonna see we're gonna
00:15:31.660 see what's gonna happen i think he's gonna get his job what i want to know is if you pause it right
00:15:34.720 there who is the girl on the back left sitting behind sean o'brien the blonde ma'am if you are
00:15:41.200 single folks if you know if she's single she has to be i have an assyrian friend named vincent
00:15:47.540 o'shana who is very funny she's looking at me very healthy and uh again that could very easily
