00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.700 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.980 Welcome, it's Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.
00:00:07.240 This is one of those fun podcast center
00:00:09.480 where you and I get to hang out in person.
00:00:11.800 So if you're listening to this show,
00:00:14.300 this is, if you're listening to audio,
00:00:15.900 you can go back and watch this on YouTube.
00:00:18.280 And that really makes it a lot more fun.
00:00:20.340 A lot of the video clips we're gonna play,
00:00:21.940 the audio you may hear,
00:00:22.980 but you can go back and watch them.
00:00:24.400 So make sure you do that.
00:00:25.720 This was a very big week, Senator,
00:00:27.280 because the president named Pam Bondi as his AG pick.
00:00:33.120 And that was something that a lot of people received
00:00:35.240 with a lot of excitement.
00:00:36.960 Well, that's right.
00:00:37.880 It's big news.
00:00:39.240 Pam Bondi is gonna make a very strong AG.
00:00:41.320 I know Pam well.
00:00:42.100 We're gonna talk about her.
00:00:43.140 We're gonna talk about that nomination,
00:00:44.680 what it means, what it means for the Department of Justice,
00:00:46.940 what it means for the country,
00:00:48.060 what to expect in the Senate,
00:00:49.320 what's gonna happen next.
00:00:50.940 We're also gonna talk about what Joe Biden is doing
00:00:53.220 on the way out of the White House.
00:00:54.520 And spoiler alert, it ain't pretty.
00:00:57.280 Joe Biden is in the process of opening up the borders,
00:00:59.920 trying to accelerate the invasion,
00:01:02.220 trying to make Donald Trump
00:01:03.320 and the new administration's lives and jobs more difficult.
00:01:06.240 He's not just doing it at home
00:01:07.520 with opening up the borders,
00:01:09.340 but he's also doing it abroad.
00:01:10.780 He's doing, I think, everything he can
00:01:12.880 to accelerate and to make worse
00:01:17.020 the war in Ukraine.
00:01:19.760 That is dangerous.
00:01:21.300 World War III, it seems like he's rolling the dice
00:01:25.400 and hoping whoever comes in next
00:01:27.720 has to deal with the consequences.
00:01:29.660 Yeah, it's gonna be very interesting
00:01:30.740 to see what he does here and why he's doing it.
00:01:32.960 We're gonna break all that down for you.
00:01:34.740 I wanna talk to you real quick
00:01:35.740 about our friends over at Ammo Squared.
00:01:37.840 Ammo Squared ensures that you have ammo
00:01:39.900 when you need it.
00:01:41.000 It is an automated approach
00:01:42.540 to purchasing ammo on any budget.
00:01:44.580 I absolutely love Ammo Squared
00:01:46.220 because if you dealt with not being able
00:01:47.680 to find ammo during COVID,
00:01:49.600 you know how frustrating it is
00:01:51.500 when you cannot find what you need.
00:01:54.020 And the best part about Ammo Squared
00:01:55.900 is you pick your calibers,
00:01:57.780 you set your budget,
00:01:58.820 you select a shipping trigger,
00:02:00.560 and bam, that's it.
00:02:02.060 Your ammo grows over time.
00:02:04.220 And this is the other thing I love.
00:02:06.060 It is stored for free as it builds up.
00:02:09.200 And then you can have it shipped to you
00:02:10.900 with a click of a button
00:02:11.800 or automatically whenever you want to.
00:02:14.860 Ammo Squared offers nearly 70 different
00:02:17.120 caliber options, hard-to-find calibers as well.
00:02:20.080 And each shipment contains
00:02:21.840 a carefully curated mix
00:02:23.580 of factory-new ammunition.
00:02:25.680 It's budget-friendly,
00:02:26.780 and you can buy as little
00:02:27.980 as a few dollars a month
00:02:29.240 and use cost-dollar averaging
00:02:31.440 to your advantage.
00:02:32.860 Everything is managed online.
00:02:35.580 Forget about moving heavy cases of ammo
00:02:37.460 in your garage
00:02:38.340 or trying to sell ammo online.
00:02:40.580 You can literally exchange
00:02:42.120 your Ammo Squared inventory
00:02:43.340 from one caliber to another in seconds.
00:02:46.100 And let's say you build up a lot of ammo
00:02:47.720 and you want to sell it
00:02:48.620 as prices rise in the future.
00:02:50.760 You can do that and make big profits.
00:02:53.400 There's no minimum to buy,
00:02:55.080 no memberships needed,
00:02:56.840 and no extra fees.
00:02:59.080 You can buy ammo on a small budget
00:03:01.320 and watch it grow.
00:03:02.700 Sign up, and I'm going to give you
00:03:03.800 free ammo in your account today
00:03:06.260 at AmmoSquared.com slash Ben.
00:03:09.480 That's AmmoSquared.com slash Ben today

00:03:15.800 Senator, it's official.
00:03:16.740 Pam Bondi has been selected
00:03:18.240 by Donald Trump to be the AG.
00:03:20.460 I've gotten to know her a little bit
00:03:21.820 through doing different things on TV.
00:03:23.740 You know her pretty well
00:03:25.000 from different campaign things, etc.
00:03:27.840 Are you excited about this pick?
00:03:29.420 Because it seems to be
00:03:30.240 that most are very excited
00:03:31.900 about how qualified she is.
00:03:33.620 Her resume matters in this one
00:03:35.380 a lot more than the last pick.
00:03:36.620 And people say she knows
00:03:38.060 how to do this job.
00:03:39.100 Yeah, it's a great choice.
00:03:40.480 It is an excellent choice.
00:03:42.200 You know, it's interesting.
00:03:42.840 We did Friday's pod.
00:03:44.400 You and I recorded it
00:03:45.420 Thursday afternoon
00:03:46.400 right before I got on the plane
00:03:47.680 and flew back from D.C. to Texas.
00:03:49.920 And Thursday afternoon,
00:03:51.240 the news had just broken
00:03:52.600 that Matt Gaetz was pulling out.
00:03:53.980 So we did the whole podcast
00:03:55.100 on that news that had just broken.
00:03:57.260 I had come from the lunch
00:03:58.700 with the other Senate Republicans
00:03:59.880 where everyone was still
00:04:00.900 a little shocked at the speed
00:04:03.300 with which Gaetz pulled out
00:04:04.560 of the contention.
00:04:05.820 And at the time,
00:04:07.160 we didn't know who the nominee was.
00:04:08.440 So Friday's pod,
00:04:09.440 we were speculating different folks.
00:04:11.460 What is interesting
00:04:12.020 is how quickly Trump acted.
00:04:13.680 Trump acted within hours.
00:04:15.100 And by Thursday night,
00:04:16.300 we knew the nominee, Pam Bondi.
00:04:18.420 And that nominee
00:04:19.460 is now going full speed ahead.
00:04:21.240 I've got to say
00:04:21.760 it is a very, very strong choice.
00:04:23.540 Let's talk about her resume
00:04:24.500 so people understand
00:04:25.460 because if you're outside of Florida,
00:04:26.840 you may not know
00:04:27.880 just how qualified she is,
00:04:30.020 what she has done.
00:04:31.240 Yeah, so Pam's background,
00:04:32.360 she's from Tampa originally.
00:04:34.380 She got an undergraduate degree
00:04:36.620 from University of Florida,
00:04:37.940 a degree in criminal justice.
00:04:39.680 She then got her law degree
00:04:40.980 from Stetson Law School
00:04:42.140 and she was admitted
00:04:43.200 to the Florida Bar in 1991.
00:04:45.600 And she spent 18 years
00:04:47.960 as a prosecutor
00:04:49.020 in the Hillsborough County
00:04:51.660 State Attorney's Office
00:04:53.080 trying cases,
00:04:54.880 including domestic violence,
00:04:56.160 including murder.
00:04:57.060 She was a line prosecutor
00:04:58.540 trying cases.
00:05:00.900 She then became
00:05:01.760 Attorney General of Florida
00:05:02.980 in 2010 and she made history.
00:05:05.000 She was the first female
00:05:06.600 Attorney General
00:05:07.360 in the state of Florida.
00:05:08.920 And she focused on,
00:05:10.580 number one,
00:05:11.220 challenging Obamacare.
00:05:12.400 She focused on
00:05:13.300 taking on human trafficking.
00:05:16.080 And she also focused on
00:05:17.640 shutting down pill mills
00:05:19.700 and fighting the state's
00:05:22.360 opioid crisis.
00:05:23.780 And she held that post
00:05:25.120 for eight years until 2019.
00:05:26.500 She is right now
00:05:30.120 the chair of the Center
00:05:31.360 of Litigation
00:05:32.100 and also co-chair
00:05:34.360 of the Center for Law
00:05:35.600 and Justice
00:05:36.140 at the America First
00:05:37.280 Policy Institute.
00:05:38.680 And she was very notably
00:05:40.380 part of his defense team,
00:05:43.100 Trump's defense team,
00:05:44.320 in the first impeachment trial.
00:05:46.620 So when verdict started,
00:05:48.240 when this podcast began,
00:05:50.100 the very first verdict podcast
00:05:51.920 was the first night
00:05:53.880 of the first Trump
00:05:56.580 impeachment trial.
00:05:57.800 And I came from
00:05:58.940 the Senate floor
00:05:59.600 where we spent
00:06:00.100 the entire day there,
00:06:01.540 came to the studio
00:06:02.320 and recorded verdict
00:06:03.340 the very initial episode.
00:06:05.700 And actually verdict
00:06:06.400 at the time
00:06:07.180 went from non-existent,
00:06:09.220 we started with
00:06:09.940 zero listeners,
00:06:10.800 zero viewers.
00:06:11.620 That's right.
00:06:12.080 It went from non-existent
00:06:13.660 to it skyrocketed
00:06:14.820 up the charts
00:06:15.840 and became the number
00:06:16.740 one ranked podcast
00:06:17.820 in the world,
00:06:19.100 beating Joe Rogan,
00:06:20.060 beating the New York Times,
00:06:21.060 beating everybody.
00:06:21.920 Pam at the time
00:06:23.160 was someone
00:06:23.640 I worked with closely
00:06:24.940 during that impeachment trial.
00:06:27.220 And she is a serious,
00:06:30.180 capable trial lawyer.
00:06:32.520 And I got to tell you,
00:06:33.420 look,
00:06:34.760 attorney general
00:06:35.620 is a job
00:06:36.300 that requires competence.
00:06:38.100 It requires knowledge
00:06:39.380 of the law.
00:06:40.560 It requires good judgment.
00:06:42.660 And it requires backbone.
00:06:45.040 And I think Pam's
00:06:45.780 got all three.
00:06:47.020 And it is a job
00:06:48.540 where competence
00:06:50.420 really matters.
00:06:51.160 Listen,
00:06:51.480 that this administration
00:06:52.580 is going to face
00:06:53.500 all sorts of legal challenges.
00:06:55.420 It's going to face
00:06:56.400 blue states
00:06:57.700 and blue attorneys general
00:06:59.020 filing lawsuits
00:07:00.480 day after day after day.
00:07:01.980 It is going to face
00:07:02.760 every step
00:07:03.620 President Trump takes.
00:07:05.260 He's going to face
00:07:05.960 lawfare on the other side.
00:07:08.100 And one of the most
00:07:09.000 important responsibilities
00:07:10.040 for an attorney general
00:07:11.180 is to give
00:07:12.100 good,
00:07:13.460 sound legal advice
00:07:14.780 about how to navigate
00:07:16.000 those landmines,
00:07:17.400 how to implement
00:07:19.780 the Trump policy
00:07:22.200 in a way that survives
00:07:23.620 and is durable legally.
00:07:25.740 And I got to say,
00:07:26.480 I think Pam will do
00:07:27.740 an excellent job.
00:07:28.340 You talk about the role
00:07:29.580 as the AG,
00:07:30.260 and there's so many
00:07:30.960 different things
00:07:31.720 you're involved in.
00:07:33.140 A lot of it
00:07:33.800 is managing
00:07:34.700 and making sure
00:07:36.160 that people are doing
00:07:36.740 their jobs well
00:07:37.420 and find the right people.
00:07:38.660 There's also the deep state
00:07:39.800 aspect of this
00:07:40.680 that people are saying,
00:07:41.500 hey,
00:07:41.600 we want to get
00:07:42.140 the bad actors out.
00:07:43.660 She has actually defended
00:07:45.420 Donald Trump
00:07:46.700 against those activists
00:07:48.440 and the deep state
00:07:49.500 that were coming after him.
00:07:51.120 How important is her
00:07:52.100 just seeing that
00:07:52.940 and defending him
00:07:53.740 and knowing what
00:07:54.280 they were doing to him
00:07:55.200 and to others around him,
00:07:56.340 whether it be Flynn,
00:07:57.140 the list goes on and on,
00:07:58.380 that will help her
00:07:59.000 be better at this job
00:08:00.560 than maybe anyone else?
00:08:01.720 Look, she's strong
00:08:02.800 and she's loyal
00:08:04.000 to the president,
00:08:04.740 but she also cares
00:08:05.700 about the rule of law.
00:08:06.760 And you need to have both
00:08:08.140 to do this job effectively.
00:08:09.960 This may be
00:08:10.440 the single hardest job
00:08:11.700 in the incoming
00:08:12.980 Trump administration.
00:08:14.260 And look,
00:08:15.260 I want to give you
00:08:16.180 an example.
00:08:17.060 Take a look at Pam
00:08:18.420 and who she is.
00:08:20.060 These criminals
00:08:21.100 made one very big mistake.
00:08:25.040 They wound up
00:08:25.880 in Polk County.
00:08:27.000 And I'll tell you,
00:08:28.440 it's bad enough
00:08:29.820 in one thing
00:08:30.700 to profit
00:08:31.540 from poisoning others,
00:08:33.200 but it's another
00:08:34.460 when you bring drugs
00:08:36.500 from Mexico
00:08:37.440 into our country,
00:08:39.400 California,
00:08:40.320 Texas,
00:08:41.000 Georgia,
00:08:41.380 and end up
00:08:42.400 in our state
00:08:43.360 and do it
00:08:44.020 with impunity.
00:08:45.400 Because when you're
00:08:46.560 in this country illegally
00:08:47.940 and you're doing
00:08:49.600 things illegally,
00:08:51.300 I want to tell you
00:08:52.700 and you wind up
00:08:53.520 in Polk County,
00:08:55.000 Grady Judd
00:08:55.900 is going to find you,
00:08:58.580 the DEA
00:08:59.820 is going to help them,
00:09:01.400 and my statewide prosecutors
00:09:03.400 are going to lock you up
00:09:04.980 for as long
00:09:05.860 as we can.
00:09:07.060 And we're going to enjoy it.
00:09:08.340 And each of these defendants
00:09:10.400 are looking at
00:09:11.380 15,
00:09:12.160 30 years
00:09:12.760 in Florida State Prison
00:09:13.840 for conspiracy
00:09:14.900 to traffic drugs.
00:09:17.100 I mean,
00:09:17.360 she's not messing around
00:09:18.420 and I love the sheriff
00:09:19.180 there, by the way.
00:09:19.820 We're going to enjoy it.
00:09:20.700 But I mean,
00:09:21.120 this is,
00:09:21.860 I think her life works.
00:09:22.900 She's saying,
00:09:23.320 let's go.
00:09:23.860 You want to go to war?
00:09:24.760 We're going to go
00:09:25.260 war against the bad guys.
00:09:26.560 We're going to protect Americans.
00:09:27.960 We're going to go
00:09:28.600 after the cartels.
00:09:29.500 We're going to go
00:09:29.960 after the drugs.
00:09:30.700 We're going to go
00:09:31.160 after the people
00:09:31.800 that are doing this
00:09:32.500 across our borders.
00:09:33.240 And she mentioned
00:09:34.280 all those states,
00:09:35.100 including Texas.
00:09:36.480 That's why I'm excited
00:09:37.700 about her.
00:09:38.420 Well,
00:09:38.500 and for those of you
00:09:39.220 all listening to this
00:09:39.960 on audio,
00:09:40.520 what we just played
00:09:41.220 is a video
00:09:41.740 of a press conference
00:09:42.720 of her bringing
00:09:45.120 a prosecution
00:09:45.920 against drug traffickers,
00:09:48.460 against criminals.
00:09:49.300 And as you noted,
00:09:50.600 the sheriff behind her
00:09:51.780 quickly chimes in
00:09:53.020 and we're going
00:09:53.480 to enjoy it.
00:09:54.140 I mean,
00:09:54.500 this is,
00:09:55.380 we need an attorney general
00:09:56.740 who is tough,
00:09:57.540 who is focused
00:09:58.240 on securing the border,
00:09:59.940 is focused on stopping
00:10:00.920 human traffickers,
00:10:01.800 is focused on stopping
00:10:02.760 drug traffickers.
00:10:04.060 I think Pam's going
00:10:04.900 to do an excellent
00:10:05.560 job of that.
00:10:06.660 And by the way,
00:10:08.760 if you don't trust me
00:10:10.440 on it,
00:10:11.300 let me give you
00:10:11.820 someone else.
00:10:13.600 If you don't want
00:10:14.100 to take my word for it,
00:10:15.880 take Al Sharpton's
00:10:17.260 word for it.
00:10:18.000 Give a listen
00:10:18.560 to Al Sharpton
00:10:19.640 on MSNBC.
00:10:21.160 Absolutely.
00:10:21.600 I think it was
00:10:22.480 the wise thing
00:10:23.500 for the Trump people
00:10:25.580 and for President-elect
00:10:27.100 Trump to withdraw
00:10:28.420 him now
00:10:29.280 because a long-term
00:10:31.160 spectacle of days
00:10:32.740 and weeks
00:10:33.340 would only damage
00:10:34.800 them even more.
00:10:35.700 Take your losses
00:10:37.020 short.
00:10:37.960 Let him walk away
00:10:38.760 because he was
00:10:39.260 never qualified
00:10:40.240 and he could not
00:10:41.880 give any reasonable
00:10:43.360 argument as to why
00:10:44.820 he'd be attorney general.
00:10:46.080 I talked to people
00:10:47.080 that I know
00:10:47.640 in Florida last night
00:10:48.820 that are on the
00:10:49.420 civil rights side.
00:10:50.300 We have a chapter
00:10:50.920 in the National Action
00:10:51.620 Network there.
00:10:52.620 Bondi is certainly
00:10:53.520 on the right,
00:10:54.260 but she is one
00:10:55.540 who's qualified
00:10:56.320 to become attorney general
00:10:58.500 in terms of
00:10:59.120 she's handled cases,
00:11:00.220 she's managed offices,
00:11:01.400 and yes,
00:11:03.040 we can raise questions
00:11:04.120 about what she did
00:11:04.940 with Trump University,
00:11:05.960 but there's no glaring
00:11:07.720 things in terms of
00:11:09.120 her values and morals.
00:11:10.660 You're talking about
00:11:11.280 Gates with underage sex,
00:11:12.800 you're talking about
00:11:13.560 money that has been
00:11:15.680 documented,
00:11:17.080 that was sent around,
00:11:18.180 and to put him in charge
00:11:19.360 of the Justice Department
00:11:21.100 made a mockery
00:11:22.220 of the system.
00:11:22.980 So I think it was
00:11:24.280 better for Trump,
00:11:25.480 not that I'm a Trump
00:11:26.440 person at all,
00:11:27.760 but it was better
00:11:28.320 for him and certainly
00:11:29.500 better for the American
00:11:30.300 public to get Gates
00:11:31.840 off the scene.
00:11:33.420 I mean,
00:11:33.800 he's saying,
00:11:35.000 like,
00:11:35.260 I don't know how
00:11:35.840 you're going to attack her,
00:11:36.740 and that's on MSNBC.
00:11:38.460 I think she's qualified,
00:11:41.000 she knows how to do
00:11:41.940 the job,
00:11:42.520 she's been elected
00:11:43.280 by the people of
00:11:44.280 a big state,
00:11:45.020 not once,
00:11:45.360 but twice,
00:11:46.440 and basically,
00:11:47.360 if Al Sharpton,
00:11:48.180 that's like a glowing
00:11:49.020 review,
00:11:49.520 if you're Republican.
00:11:51.000 Yeah,
00:11:51.380 look,
00:11:51.640 that's basically Sharpton
00:11:52.660 going,
00:11:52.980 oh,
00:11:53.180 crap.
00:11:53.940 Like,
00:11:54.520 this is a good choice,
00:11:55.760 and I'm Al Sharpton,
00:11:56.800 and I really hate
00:11:57.460 that this is a good choice.
00:11:59.180 That's an awfully
00:12:00.240 good recommendation.
00:12:02.000 Here's another one,
00:12:02.640 take a listen.
00:12:03.820 Well,
00:12:04.140 one reaction I got
00:12:05.020 from inside the
00:12:05.600 Justice Department
00:12:06.220 last night was,
00:12:07.240 this is Matt Gates
00:12:08.460 with a better
00:12:08.960 legal resume,
00:12:10.140 but the legal resume
00:12:11.040 is significant,
00:12:12.560 Willie and guys,
00:12:13.320 because Pam Bondi
00:12:14.560 was a career prosecutor
00:12:16.120 down there in
00:12:17.620 Hillsborough County
00:12:18.400 for many,
00:12:19.140 many years
00:12:19.700 before she was elected
00:12:20.940 Florida's first
00:12:22.200 female attorney,
00:12:22.900 general,
00:12:23.260 so she's prosecuted
00:12:24.360 major cases,
00:12:25.440 murders,
00:12:25.960 death penalty cases.
00:12:27.240 She understands
00:12:28.040 how that works.
00:12:29.360 Matt Gates
00:12:29.720 had never really
00:12:30.360 been much of a lawyer
00:12:31.660 before he was elected
00:12:32.440 to the Florida legislature,
00:12:33.920 so that's a big difference,
00:12:35.440 and at the same time,
00:12:39.080 she is an extreme MAGA activist
00:12:42.600 and has tainted her legal career
00:12:45.400 with very strong stands
00:12:47.520 in favor of some
00:12:48.640 questionable things.
00:12:50.140 There was a famous incident
00:12:51.560 back in around 10 years ago
00:12:54.080 when,
00:12:54.820 if you remember,
00:12:55.420 Trump University,
00:12:56.500 that for-profit university
00:12:57.700 that Donald Trump ran,
00:12:59.440 was getting a lot of
00:13:00.320 consumer complaints
00:13:01.300 about being a scam,
00:13:02.400 and her office
00:13:03.340 was asked to join
00:13:04.560 a multi-state lawsuit,
00:13:07.240 and Donald Trump's
00:13:08.300 foundation
00:13:08.840 contributed $25,000
00:13:10.780 to her campaign,
00:13:12.440 and she opted not
00:13:13.340 to join that lawsuit,
00:13:14.920 and his foundation
00:13:15.800 was later fined
00:13:16.580 for making
00:13:16.920 an illegal contribution.
00:13:17.840 So, look,
00:13:19.660 she served her tenure
00:13:21.100 eight years
00:13:22.120 as Florida Attorney General.
00:13:23.660 She later went on
00:13:24.760 to be one of
00:13:25.460 Donald Trump's
00:13:26.400 impeachment defense lawyers
00:13:27.960 in the Ukraine impeachment
00:13:29.080 in 2020,
00:13:29.720 made a speech
00:13:30.280 on the House floor
00:13:31.100 during the trial
00:13:33.560 arguing that there was
00:13:35.200 a Biden corruption scandal
00:13:37.000 in Ukraine
00:13:37.560 and that that's why
00:13:38.420 that phone call
00:13:39.280 was okay,
00:13:40.360 and she's also
00:13:41.280 raised questions
00:13:42.740 about fraud
00:13:44.500 in the 2020 election,
00:13:45.700 which people think
00:13:46.740 were baseless.
00:13:48.320 So, it's a bit
00:13:49.360 of a mixed bag,
00:13:50.120 but people are
00:13:50.720 breathing a little bit
00:13:51.860 of a sigh of relief
00:13:52.600 at the Justice Department
00:13:53.420 that at least
00:13:54.000 she's a real lawyer
00:13:54.920 and that her deputy,
00:13:56.920 Todd Blanche,
00:13:57.680 Donald Trump's
00:13:58.280 defense attorney,
00:13:59.580 does have a lot
00:14:00.700 of experience
00:14:01.200 at the Justice Department
00:14:02.040 and is also well-regarded
00:14:03.320 over there.
00:14:03.900 So, net-net,
00:14:05.740 people are thinking
00:14:06.240 this is a much better
00:14:07.080 situation than Matt Gaetz,
00:14:08.480 but she is certainly
00:14:09.400 a Donald Trump loyalist
00:14:11.040 who has also raised
00:14:12.700 questions about
00:14:13.300 weaponization
00:14:14.020 at the Justice Department
00:14:15.100 and may really cause
00:14:16.800 some trouble over there
00:14:17.660 from the perspective
00:14:18.300 of some of the career folks.
00:14:20.280 If you want to know
00:14:20.880 what a weak argument
00:14:21.520 looks like from MSNBC,
00:14:22.780 like, well,
00:14:23.160 like, there's something
00:14:24.100 maybe 10 years ago,
00:14:25.360 and by the way,
00:14:25.740 if you actually heard
00:14:26.680 her explanation
00:14:27.300 on the Trump University thing,
00:14:28.580 she said,
00:14:29.280 we looked at the number
00:14:30.000 of people that could
00:14:30.680 have been affected
00:14:31.200 in the state
00:14:31.740 and we decided
00:14:32.360 it wasn't worth
00:14:32.940 any of our time
00:14:33.580 to even look at this
00:14:34.400 for X, Y, and Z purposes,
00:14:36.440 and there was a bunch
00:14:37.440 of liberals
00:14:37.760 that went after him,
00:14:38.600 but they went back
00:14:39.460 over a decade
00:14:40.060 to find something
00:14:41.020 pretty darn obscure,
00:14:42.460 and they're like,
00:14:43.400 well, her biggest liability
00:14:44.560 is she's friends
00:14:45.240 with Donald Trump.
00:14:46.020 Well, it's the Trump
00:14:46.880 administration.
00:14:47.660 Get used to it.
00:14:48.660 Well, and once again,
00:14:49.620 that's an MSNBC legal analyst
00:14:53.540 who is laying that out
00:14:55.160 who says she's a serious lawyer,
00:14:56.660 career prosecutor,
00:14:57.840 real lawyer,
00:14:58.800 knows how to lead teams,
00:14:59.980 knows how to run organizations,
00:15:02.280 knows how to bring a case.
00:15:05.080 That's their attempt
00:15:05.960 to attack her,
00:15:07.320 and their attack is,
00:15:08.820 well, you know,
00:15:09.500 she's a Trump loyalist.
00:15:13.440 Did you think
00:15:14.220 a Biden loyalist
00:15:15.060 was going to get the job?
00:15:15.860 You know, funny thing,
00:15:16.620 I mean, Eric Holder
00:15:17.320 was the runner-up,
00:15:18.160 and that's what Trump
00:15:19.340 was thinking about.
00:15:20.520 Give me a radical leftist
00:15:21.860 who wants to destroy
00:15:22.720 my administration,
00:15:23.600 and as much as MSNBC
00:15:25.100 would love that,
00:15:26.800 that was not going to happen.
00:15:28.860 Listen, where is this
00:15:31.040 going to go now?
00:15:31.940 Pam Bondi's going
00:15:32.520 to be confirmed.
00:15:33.680 You have no doubt about that.
00:15:34.780 I think she'll be confirmed
00:15:35.800 easily,
00:15:37.180 barring some
00:15:38.580 dramatically unexpected step,
00:15:40.960 which I don't expect.
00:15:42.120 Yeah.
00:15:42.600 You know,
00:15:43.920 she will be confirmed.
00:15:45.240 I think she will have
00:15:45.920 a straightforward hearing
00:15:47.000 in the Judiciary Committee.
00:15:48.660 The Democrats
00:15:49.180 will take some shots at her,
00:15:50.500 but you just saw
00:15:51.380 from MSNBC,
00:15:52.540 they don't have much.
00:15:53.520 I'd start with just
00:15:54.380 quoting Al Sharpton.
00:15:55.600 I'm glad we're here today.
00:15:56.580 Al Sharpton said this about you.
00:15:58.120 All right, that's not bad.
00:15:59.220 I may actually quote Al Sharpton.
00:16:01.340 You know,
00:16:01.640 I'm going to have my questioning.
00:16:03.160 I've never quoted Al Sharpton
00:16:04.480 in my questioning before.
00:16:05.620 You get to check
00:16:06.200 two boxes that day,
00:16:07.340 and Democrats will also cringe.
00:16:09.020 She is going to be confirmed.
00:16:10.960 It is going to be straightforward.
00:16:13.020 And I got to say,
00:16:13.840 this is not our rundown
00:16:14.860 for topics today,
00:16:15.780 but we just did play
00:16:17.120 two clips from MSNBC.
00:16:18.960 And for the record,
00:16:19.740 we're doing this before
00:16:21.000 Elon Musk buys MSNBC.
00:16:24.200 MXNBC.
00:16:25.460 It's trending on Twitter right now.
00:16:27.380 Or on X, I should say.
00:16:28.860 I got to say,
00:16:29.620 it is a phenomenal thing.
00:16:32.820 I've been encouraging Elon,
00:16:35.000 do it.
00:16:35.640 Do it.
00:16:36.000 Do it.
00:16:37.340 I got to say,
00:16:38.420 it would be a fabulous thing.
00:16:40.360 And maybe that's what
00:16:41.180 Al Sharpton is doing.
00:16:42.280 Maybe Al is auditioning.
00:16:44.520 I still want a job.
00:16:45.100 I want a job.
00:16:46.700 Nobody else is paying me.
00:16:48.100 Please, I want a job.
00:16:50.160 Even on MSNBC,
00:16:52.940 as the wild-eyed leftists,
00:16:54.120 they are today.
00:16:54.860 We played their clips twice.
00:16:56.500 And there's a reason for that.
00:16:58.320 Pam Boddy's nomination
00:16:59.240 was a very strong nomination.
00:17:01.200 If you're a guy
00:17:02.480 and you feel like
00:17:03.820 you got a little bit older,
00:17:04.840 you feel like you're
00:17:05.420 a little fatigued,
00:17:06.360 you feel like you're
00:17:06.880 just a little tired,
00:17:07.880 you're not alone.
00:17:09.380 Men's testosterone levels
00:17:10.700 are off a cliff
00:17:12.300 historically
00:17:12.860 at an all-time low.
00:17:14.420 Well, thankfully,
00:17:15.460 the Patriots at Chalk,
00:17:16.980 spelled C-H-O-Q,
00:17:18.920 are helping real American men
00:17:20.500 take back their right
00:17:21.460 to maximize
00:17:22.140 your masculinity
00:17:23.480 by boosting
00:17:25.020 your testosterone levels
00:17:26.640 up to 20%
00:17:27.640 over 90 days.
00:17:29.900 I started taking
00:17:30.900 the Chalk Male Vitality Stack
00:17:32.600 a little over a year ago.
00:17:34.720 And I have now lost
00:17:36.040 about 73 pounds.

00:18:17.300 All right, let's move on
00:18:18.540 to something else
00:18:19.340 and that is,
00:18:20.660 there is like
00:18:21.400 two dumpster fires
00:18:22.580 that seem to be happening
00:18:23.860 simultaneously
00:18:24.800 with the Biden administration,
00:18:27.460 his team around him
00:18:28.640 and I think Americans
00:18:29.840 should be incredibly angry
00:18:31.200 over this
00:18:31.800 for the fact
00:18:32.700 that they're clearly saying
00:18:33.680 we know we lost the election,
00:18:35.180 we know you chose
00:18:36.100 a different path,
00:18:37.080 but we're going to stick it
00:18:38.460 to the American people
00:18:39.360 and also stick it
00:18:40.160 to the Trump administration.
00:18:41.980 Biden has decided
00:18:43.580 at the very end
00:18:44.540 of his administration,
00:18:45.780 not respecting the voters
00:18:47.160 when one of their top issues
00:18:48.300 was border security,
00:18:50.460 to loosen key
00:18:52.180 migrant policies,
00:18:53.820 quote unquote,
00:18:55.180 right before
00:18:56.180 you go into December,
00:18:58.480 January,
00:18:59.060 and until January 20th
00:19:00.700 when obviously Donald Trump
00:19:01.740 would undo all of this.
00:19:03.140 Well, it's late November now.
00:19:04.980 Let me point out
00:19:05.720 a couple of things.
00:19:06.720 Number one,
00:19:07.460 have you seen Joe Biden
00:19:08.680 in weeks?
00:19:09.300 No, I guess he's still
00:19:10.500 on vacation.
00:19:11.220 Yeah, look,
00:19:12.080 Kamala Harris is in Hawaii.
00:19:14.420 Joe Biden,
00:19:15.500 I don't know where
00:19:16.080 the hell he is.
00:19:16.840 I'm not sure
00:19:17.640 if we actually have
00:19:18.640 a president of the United States
00:19:19.840 right now.
00:19:20.960 They're certainly not
00:19:21.940 allowing him to go outside
00:19:23.340 or to appear on camera.
00:19:25.540 And even so,
00:19:27.620 even though we have
00:19:28.500 an AWOL president
00:19:29.520 and an AWOL vice president,
00:19:31.440 I think it is absolutely clear
00:19:33.240 that both Biden and Harris
00:19:34.560 want Trump to fail.
00:19:37.340 They want the problems
00:19:38.500 in this country
00:19:39.260 to get worse.
00:19:40.780 And they want to make sure
00:19:42.420 that Donald Trump
00:19:44.240 inherits the worst
00:19:45.640 stinking pile of crap possible.
00:19:48.300 So you look at challenges
00:19:51.100 at home and abroad.
00:19:52.700 At home,
00:19:53.720 the greatest domestic challenge
00:19:54.960 we have is the open borders
00:19:56.340 that Joe Biden
00:19:57.000 and Kamala Harris
00:19:57.620 put in place.
00:19:58.780 Abroad,
00:19:59.280 the greatest challenge
00:19:59.980 we have are the wars
00:20:01.020 that are unfolding
00:20:01.840 because of Joe Biden
00:20:03.020 and Kamala Harris'
00:20:03.920 weakness.
00:20:06.040 Domestically,
00:20:06.540 what are they doing?
00:20:07.300 Well, apparently,
00:20:08.060 neither Biden nor Harris
00:20:09.060 learned a damn thing
00:20:09.840 from the election.
00:20:11.220 They didn't hear
00:20:11.920 from the voters
00:20:12.560 that they don't want
00:20:13.460 an open border.
00:20:14.180 They don't want
00:20:14.700 this invasion.
00:20:15.720 So instead,
00:20:16.680 they're doubling down
00:20:17.800 and they're trying
00:20:18.500 to make it harder
00:20:19.760 for Trump to come in
00:20:22.240 with the new administration,
00:20:23.540 secure the border,
00:20:24.400 and remove dangerous
00:20:26.080 criminal illegal aliens.
00:20:27.660 Take a listen
00:20:28.360 to this reporting
00:20:29.080 on Fox
00:20:29.580 about what specifically
00:20:30.640 the Biden administration
00:20:32.440 is doing.
00:20:33.600 Sandra,
00:20:34.100 the Biden administration
00:20:34.980 is quietly loosening
00:20:36.820 immigration policies
00:20:38.280 before Trump
00:20:39.040 takes office.
00:20:39.880 This according
00:20:40.440 to the New York Post.
00:20:41.940 It reports
00:20:42.660 the administration
00:20:43.460 is testing
00:20:44.260 a new app
00:20:45.300 that will allow
00:20:46.520 illegal migrants
00:20:47.520 to bypass
00:20:48.400 in-person check-ins
00:20:50.120 at their local
00:20:51.320 ICE office.
00:20:53.100 Jeff Paul
00:20:53.600 is live with more.
00:20:54.960 It sounds like
00:20:55.700 they're just giving
00:20:56.400 Donald Trump
00:20:57.060 one more thing
00:20:58.100 to undo.
00:20:59.740 Well, John,
00:21:00.560 we do know
00:21:00.920 the Biden administration
00:21:01.800 has been testing
00:21:02.920 this new immigration
00:21:03.940 and customs app,
00:21:05.040 and the idea
00:21:05.700 is to streamline
00:21:06.700 the check-in process
00:21:07.960 for migrants,
00:21:09.280 allow them
00:21:09.840 to use their phones
00:21:10.680 or computers
00:21:11.280 to touch base
00:21:12.040 with immigration officials
00:21:13.200 while they wait
00:21:13.820 for their date
00:21:14.300 in court
00:21:14.660 instead of appearing
00:21:16.340 for those check-ins
00:21:17.360 in person.
00:21:18.780 Now, a source
00:21:19.260 tells Fox News,
00:21:20.300 ICE has been using
00:21:21.180 the app already
00:21:21.920 in a couple of cities,
00:21:22.940 but according
00:21:23.400 to the New York Post,
00:21:24.680 it's going to be launched
00:21:25.740 officially next month
00:21:27.300 in New York City.
00:21:28.640 The field office
00:21:29.380 there reportedly
00:21:30.260 has been overwhelmed,
00:21:31.500 fully booked
00:21:31.960 with appointments
00:21:32.500 for a year.
00:21:33.180 Our sources tell us
00:21:34.100 that's really the push
00:21:35.920 to get this backlog
00:21:37.000 moved through.
00:21:38.260 The concerns
00:21:38.780 regarding this app,
00:21:39.640 obviously it's a new app,
00:21:41.040 so there's going
00:21:41.980 to be some glitches.
00:21:42.860 The other wider concern
00:21:44.080 is could it cause
00:21:45.200 even more migrants
00:21:46.240 to go under the radar?
00:21:47.820 We'll have to see
00:21:48.340 what happens.
00:21:48.920 John?
00:21:50.000 There's also
00:21:50.880 some major issues
00:21:52.220 in the reporting
00:21:52.900 with this app.
00:21:53.480 For example,
00:21:54.540 the app reportedly
00:21:55.400 has severe glitches
00:21:57.080 and issues
00:21:58.340 and does not track
00:21:59.920 a migrant's location
00:22:01.080 if he or she
00:22:01.960 is using an Android phone
00:22:03.440 or laptop.
00:22:04.120 So, hey,
00:22:04.640 if you're an illegal immigrant,
00:22:05.560 just don't use an iPhone
00:22:06.460 and they won't be able
00:22:07.680 to track you.
00:22:08.360 The app also does not
00:22:09.380 check migrants
00:22:10.140 for past arrests
00:22:11.480 or outstanding warrants,
00:22:13.480 which is what they do
00:22:14.400 now currently.
00:22:16.100 And so that's
00:22:16.720 another problem.
00:22:17.440 They say the app
00:22:17.960 allows them to opt
00:22:19.000 out of the contest
00:22:20.620 government orders
00:22:21.400 to undergo
00:22:22.040 electronic tracking
00:22:23.120 so you can just say,
00:22:23.760 no, I don't want
00:22:24.080 to be tracked.
00:22:25.000 There's no way
00:22:25.560 to find you.
00:22:26.240 And they know
00:22:26.880 all of these glitches
00:22:28.020 are in here
00:22:28.520 and yet they're going,
00:22:29.280 yes, we should move
00:22:30.000 forward with this
00:22:30.600 knowing that Donald Trump
00:22:31.840 is going to undo it.
00:22:33.180 Well, understand,
00:22:34.200 the problem is not just
00:22:35.260 that Donald Trump
00:22:35.880 is going to undo it,
00:22:36.940 but the Biden administration
00:22:38.080 is trying to make it
00:22:39.100 harder to find
00:22:39.980 these illegal immigrants.
00:22:41.400 Why would you say,
00:22:42.660 hey, you don't have
00:22:43.220 to check in in person?
00:22:44.700 Hey, you can check in
00:22:45.540 on an app
00:22:46.020 that doesn't track
00:22:46.700 your location
00:22:47.260 if you're on an Android phone.
00:22:48.800 Hey, you can check in
00:22:49.900 in a way that we're
00:22:50.480 not going to find out
00:22:51.260 if you've been arrested,
00:22:52.100 if you have a warrant.
00:22:53.520 This is all designed
00:22:55.040 to help illegal immigrants
00:22:56.440 go underground
00:22:57.380 because Joe Biden,
00:22:58.880 Kamala Harris,
00:22:59.400 and let's be clear,
00:23:00.340 every Democrat
00:23:01.160 in the House and Senate,
00:23:02.080 you don't hear any
00:23:02.560 of the Democrats
00:23:03.000 speaking out against this.
00:23:04.720 None of them are saying
00:23:05.860 this is wrong,
00:23:06.820 don't do this.
00:23:07.620 This is designed
00:23:09.200 to make it more difficult
00:23:10.440 for the incoming administration
00:23:11.680 to find illegal immigrants
00:23:13.180 and to arrest illegal immigrants
00:23:15.860 and to deport illegal immigrants.
00:23:17.380 That includes
00:23:18.360 the convicted murderers
00:23:20.280 that have been released
00:23:21.060 by this administration,
00:23:22.160 the convicted rapists,
00:23:23.460 the convicted child molesters.
00:23:25.460 You look at 2023,
00:23:28.140 set the record
00:23:29.160 for the highest number
00:23:30.300 of illegal immigrants
00:23:31.280 entering the country
00:23:32.060 in a single year,
00:23:33.240 3.2 million.
00:23:35.040 And Joe Biden
00:23:35.860 and Kamala Harris,
00:23:37.080 they don't want
00:23:38.100 those illegal immigrants
00:23:39.960 removed from this country.
00:23:41.360 They see them
00:23:41.840 as future Democrat voters.
00:23:43.180 This is all about power.
00:23:44.860 And I got to say,
00:23:46.860 it is stunning.
00:23:49.080 Well, here,
00:23:49.460 I want you to take a look
00:23:50.320 at this tweet
00:23:51.240 from Bill Malugian
00:23:52.060 that lays out
00:23:54.080 some of the numbers.
00:23:54.960 And for those of y'all
00:23:55.800 that are listening,
00:23:56.360 I'm going to read it to you.
00:23:57.120 This is what Bill Malugian tweeted.
00:23:59.060 New,
00:23:59.500 per U.S. official
00:24:00.300 to Fox News,
00:24:01.120 there are currently
00:24:01.780 1.4 million
00:24:03.880 illegal immigrants
00:24:04.660 in the U.S.
00:24:05.340 who have been ordered
00:24:06.040 deported by a DOJ
00:24:07.440 immigration judge
00:24:08.460 but haven't been removed yet.
00:24:11.100 So that's,
00:24:11.660 by the way,
00:24:11.980 if people want to know
00:24:12.580 where Trump's going to start,
00:24:14.280 I think Bill Malugian's tweet
00:24:15.460 is a great reminder.
00:24:16.840 There are 1.4 million
00:24:18.560 illegal immigrants
00:24:19.380 in the U.S.
00:24:19.660 who have been ordered
00:24:20.460 to be deported.
00:24:21.440 So if you want to know
00:24:22.120 where they're going to start,
00:24:23.120 this is where they would start.
00:24:24.340 Yeah.
00:24:24.600 I'm told approximately
00:24:25.880 13,000 of them
00:24:27.060 are being held
00:24:27.640 in ICE custody.
00:24:28.600 So out of 1.4 million,
00:24:30.260 only 13,000
00:24:31.340 are in custody.
00:24:32.040 The population
00:24:33.200 of 1.4 million
00:24:34.500 illegal immigrants
00:24:35.240 have final orders
00:24:36.580 of removal,
00:24:37.920 meaning they have had
00:24:38.680 their immigration cases heard,
00:24:40.820 received their due process,
00:24:42.620 and have been ordered
00:24:43.560 removed from the U.S.
00:24:44.700 by a DOJ
00:24:45.540 federal immigration judge.
00:24:47.480 A fraction of them
00:24:48.840 may still have
00:24:49.560 appeal options
00:24:50.280 available to them
00:24:51.060 and may not yet
00:24:52.080 be removable.
00:24:53.400 With only 13,000
00:24:55.180 in federalized custody,
00:24:56.740 we are potentially
00:24:57.580 looking at a lot of people
00:24:58.680 roaming around the country
00:24:59.700 who are in the U.S.
00:25:00.620 illegally and who have
00:25:02.020 been ordered removed.
00:25:03.820 It is impossible
00:25:04.600 to know
00:25:05.340 how many of them
00:25:06.820 may be in state
00:25:07.800 or local custody.
00:25:09.740 That 1.4 million,
00:25:11.400 you're right,
00:25:11.920 is exactly where
00:25:12.840 I expect the Trump
00:25:13.640 administration to start.
00:25:14.720 I also expect them
00:25:15.560 to start
00:25:16.020 with the 500,000
00:25:17.860 convicted criminals,
00:25:19.700 those with other
00:25:20.400 criminal convictions,
00:25:21.500 murder, rape,
00:25:22.180 child molestation,
00:25:23.520 who are illegal immigrants
00:25:24.620 who are released,
00:25:25.400 to go and apprehend
00:25:26.440 the criminals,
00:25:27.060 go after the murderers,
00:25:28.240 the rapists,
00:25:28.780 the child molesters,
00:25:30.040 go after the
00:25:30.800 Venezuelan gang members.
00:25:32.320 If you're a Venezuelan
00:25:33.260 gang member,
00:25:34.140 my advice is
00:25:35.240 pack up and move out
00:25:36.240 right now
00:25:36.820 because we're coming
00:25:37.900 for you.
00:25:38.940 This administration
00:25:39.740 is going to arrest you,
00:25:41.120 they're going to remove you,
00:25:42.060 they're going to deport you,
00:25:43.260 and if you've committed
00:25:44.040 criminal offenses,
00:25:44.860 they're going to put you
00:25:45.480 in jail.
00:25:45.820 Canadian women are looking
00:25:47.800 for more,
00:25:48.660 more out of themselves,
00:25:49.740 their businesses,
00:25:50.680 their elected leaders,
00:25:51.620 and the world around them.
00:25:52.860 And that's why we're
00:25:53.500 thrilled to introduce

00:26:04.720 politicians,
00:26:05.420 and newsmakers,

00:26:07.340 of their journey.
00:26:08.480 So if you're looking
00:26:09.500 to connect,

00:26:11.700 Listen to the Honest Talk
00:26:12.580 podcast on iHeart Radio
00:26:14.040 or wherever you listen
00:26:15.080 to your podcasts.
00:26:15.820 Let's talk about
00:26:18.620 the tone-deaf aspect of this.
00:26:20.480 And I say tone-deaf.
00:26:21.500 Some people would care.
00:26:23.200 They don't seem to care,
00:26:24.320 referring to the
00:26:24.760 Biden administration.
00:26:25.780 You just had a trial
00:26:27.060 that was watched in Georgia
00:26:29.840 of an incredible young lady
00:26:31.900 who fought for her life
00:26:33.480 for 18 minutes.
00:26:35.200 18 minutes.
00:26:36.240 She was fighting
00:26:36.940 to save her own life.
00:26:38.340 She was ultimately killed
00:26:39.400 by an illegal immigrant
00:26:40.080 that we were paying
00:26:41.340 for the hotel rooms.
00:26:42.500 We were flying him
00:26:43.140 from New York to Georgia.
00:26:45.220 And we're allowing him
00:26:46.740 to be able to kill
00:26:47.440 this incredible student
00:26:48.840 in nursing school.
00:26:50.700 And yet,
00:26:51.820 the response
00:26:52.440 from this administration
00:26:53.140 is,
00:26:53.940 yeah,
00:26:54.140 we're going to keep
00:26:54.800 facilitating that
00:26:55.640 and do it on an app
00:26:56.720 and make sure
00:26:57.260 we can't track people
00:26:58.180 for the next 70 days
00:26:59.780 because,
00:27:00.680 well,
00:27:00.960 we're sorry that you guys
00:27:01.980 picked Donald Trump
00:27:02.680 and you wanted security.
00:27:03.580 we're not going to give
00:27:04.420 that to you.
00:27:05.260 Well,
00:27:05.680 it's even worse than that.
00:27:07.860 The attitude
00:27:08.400 of a great many Democrats
00:27:09.640 is massive resistance.
00:27:12.120 It is reminiscent
00:27:13.460 of Bull Connor
00:27:14.340 during the civil rights battles.
00:27:16.680 Bull Connor
00:27:17.080 was an elected Democrat
00:27:18.240 who did not want
00:27:20.360 to follow the law
00:27:21.460 and was defying the law
00:27:22.940 and he was bitterly angry.
00:27:24.980 I want you to give a listen
00:27:26.400 to a modern day Bull Connor,
00:27:28.620 which is the Democrat mayor
00:27:29.880 of the city of Denver.
00:27:30.860 Give a listen
00:27:31.200 to what he has to say.
00:27:32.240 About civil disobedience,
00:27:33.400 you've mentioned that
00:27:33.940 a couple of times now.
00:27:35.240 Would you be willing
00:27:36.140 to participate in those
00:27:37.440 as the mayor of Denver?
00:27:38.540 Would you be willing
00:27:39.080 to go out
00:27:39.500 and protest these things?
00:27:40.580 I would.
00:27:41.060 If I believe
00:27:41.700 that our residents
00:27:42.420 are having their rights violated,
00:27:44.480 if I think things are happening
00:27:45.200 that are illegal
00:27:46.480 or immoral
00:27:47.360 or un-American in our city,
00:27:48.760 I would certainly protest it
00:27:50.620 and I would expect
00:27:51.220 other residents
00:27:51.660 to do the same.
00:27:52.500 Trump's new borders
00:27:53.380 are Tom Homan
00:27:54.180 has said that he is willing
00:27:55.880 to arrest leaders
00:27:58.240 like yourself
00:27:59.040 for standing in the way
00:28:01.140 of these policies
00:28:02.660 that they want to enact.
00:28:04.300 Would you be willing
00:28:04.940 to go to jail
00:28:05.500 for these things?
00:28:06.340 Yeah, I'm not afraid of that.
00:28:07.540 And I'm also not seeking that.
00:28:09.300 I think the goal is
00:28:09.940 we want to be able
00:28:10.480 to negotiate
00:28:11.060 with reasonable people
00:28:12.640 how to solve hard problems.
00:28:15.120 Republican and Democratic
00:28:15.980 presidents in the past
00:28:16.860 have all tried
00:28:17.520 to find solutions
00:28:18.260 to these problems.
00:28:18.960 President Reagan
00:28:19.400 helped people get access
00:28:20.140 to work
00:28:20.540 so they could stay
00:28:21.040 and support themselves.
00:28:22.320 Biden and Harris
00:28:22.860 worked on restricting
00:28:23.500 entry at the border
00:28:24.160 to close down.
00:28:24.820 There are a lot of ways
00:28:25.400 to approach this problem.
00:28:26.680 We don't think
00:28:27.120 it has to come to this.
00:28:28.960 But yeah,
00:28:29.280 I think when you look at,
00:28:29.900 you know, Ralph Carr
00:28:30.520 has always been
00:28:30.960 one of my heroes.
00:28:32.080 He was the governor
00:28:32.780 who in the middle
00:28:33.420 of the internment
00:28:34.020 of Japanese Americans
00:28:34.800 said this was
00:28:35.420 the wrong thing to do.
00:28:36.520 And he stood up.
00:28:37.180 It was unpopular.
00:28:38.140 People were mad at him about it.
00:28:39.120 That was in the middle
00:28:39.500 of wartime.
00:28:40.800 If the president
00:28:41.800 or any of his actors
00:28:42.580 are going to do things
00:28:43.160 that we think are illegal
00:28:44.200 or immoral
00:28:45.060 or un-American,
00:28:45.980 we'll stand up against those.
00:28:47.020 It's amazing how
00:28:47.660 the law doesn't matter.
00:28:48.840 He just said,
00:28:49.280 well, if it's something
00:28:49.740 I think is immoral,
00:28:51.200 then I'm going to just say
00:28:52.240 I'm not going to follow the law.
00:28:53.540 That's clearly,
00:28:54.860 and they want to become martyrs.
00:28:56.580 They want to become famous.
00:28:57.720 He's enjoying this moment.
00:28:58.900 Please put me in handcuffs.
00:29:00.620 Make me a martyr.
00:29:01.540 And I'm saying
00:29:02.280 that we are still
00:29:03.020 a sanctuary city.
00:29:04.720 So understand,
00:29:06.100 the mayor of Denver
00:29:07.020 is the modern-day Bull Connor.
00:29:09.940 He is standing
00:29:10.700 at the courthouse
00:29:11.600 saying I will block federal law.
00:29:15.580 I will not follow federal law
00:29:17.440 because my politics,
00:29:19.040 my prejudices,
00:29:19.920 it's interesting,
00:29:20.940 he referenced
00:29:21.660 Japanese internment camps.
00:29:23.140 Who was it
00:29:23.540 that ordered
00:29:23.900 Japanese internment camps?
00:29:25.120 That was a Democrat president,
00:29:26.800 FDR.
00:29:27.280 You want to talk about
00:29:28.300 patterns of lawlessness.
00:29:29.900 The Democrat Party
00:29:30.800 has over a century
00:29:32.840 of history of lawlessness.
00:29:34.800 And I'm going to call
00:29:35.820 for something right now.
00:29:36.880 So the mayor of Denver
00:29:38.440 has said,
00:29:39.020 we want illegal immigrants
00:29:39.960 in our city.
00:29:40.760 We will fight
00:29:41.580 to keep illegal immigrants
00:29:42.560 in our city.
00:29:43.440 I don't care
00:29:44.160 that the voters don't want it.
00:29:45.360 I don't care
00:29:45.840 what federal law says.
00:29:47.000 I don't care
00:29:47.800 about the women
00:29:48.440 being murdered,
00:29:49.180 the women being raped,
00:29:50.080 the children being assaulted.
00:29:51.500 I'm going to call right now
00:29:52.800 for Greg Abbott,
00:29:54.500 the governor of Texas,
00:29:55.480 for Ron DeSantis,
00:29:56.180 the governor of Florida
00:29:57.080 and for any other red governor
00:29:58.160 to start sending buses
00:30:01.000 to Denver, Colorado.
00:30:03.600 Mayor of Denver
00:30:04.400 wants illegal immigrants.
00:30:05.560 Well, you know what?
00:30:06.540 Joe Biden,
00:30:07.240 one of the lies
00:30:08.160 that mayor just said
00:30:09.120 is, well,
00:30:09.500 Biden and Harris
00:30:10.220 tighten the standards
00:30:11.140 at the border.
00:30:11.960 That is called a lie.
00:30:13.640 They didn't tighten
00:30:14.260 the standard.
00:30:14.800 They open up the border.
00:30:15.860 Texas is being invaded
00:30:16.960 right now.
00:30:17.680 And I'm going to urge
00:30:20.220 the state government
00:30:21.020 of Texas,
00:30:21.580 send every one
00:30:22.360 of the illegals
00:30:22.920 who comes into the state
00:30:23.920 to Denver, Colorado,
00:30:25.300 drop them off
00:30:26.100 in front of the mayor's residence.
00:30:29.000 He wants them there.
00:30:30.020 He's willing to go to jail
00:30:31.220 to fight for them
00:30:31.960 to be there.
00:30:32.740 Fine.
00:30:33.380 We will send you
00:30:34.720 the Venezuelan gang members
00:30:36.500 to your city.
00:30:37.540 And let's see,
00:30:38.600 you know,
00:30:38.920 I'm going to predict right now
00:30:40.140 the residents of Denver
00:30:41.040 aren't going to like this.
00:30:41.980 I'm going to predict right now.
00:30:43.380 When's the tipping point?
00:30:44.360 That was the question
00:30:44.860 I was going to ask you
00:30:45.480 because it is in Colorado
00:30:46.760 where we've seen these gangs
00:30:48.480 from Venezuela
00:30:49.320 take over apartment complexes.
00:30:51.880 Aurora, Colorado.
00:30:52.900 And by the way,
00:30:53.820 ABC, the corporate media
00:30:55.120 just said,
00:30:55.520 well, it was only a handful
00:30:56.320 of apartment complexes.
00:30:57.520 Just three, four, five of them.
00:30:58.400 You know what?
00:30:59.000 We'll send a few more
00:31:00.220 and let us know
00:31:01.300 when you would like us to stop
00:31:02.660 because you're so proud.
00:31:05.460 See, today's Democrat,
00:31:07.700 they don't fight
00:31:08.260 for American citizens.
00:31:09.380 They fight for illegal immigrants.
00:31:10.780 They fight for Venezuelan gang members.
00:31:12.640 They want more of them there.
00:31:14.560 Well, I'm happy to remove them
00:31:16.160 from the state of Texas,
00:31:17.220 to remove them from Florida,
00:31:18.280 to remove them from other red states.
00:31:20.540 And guess what?
00:31:21.320 They can all learn to be ski pros.
00:31:24.040 Is it a real threat?
00:31:25.260 And I'm not kidding when I say this.
00:31:26.920 I mean it really.
00:31:28.000 Is this a real threat
00:31:29.240 to these mayors
00:31:30.560 where they don't realize
00:31:31.460 what's about to change?
00:31:32.820 Because illegal immigrants
00:31:33.800 are going to hear this
00:31:35.000 through translation
00:31:35.780 that if you're in a place
00:31:37.340 where they're starting
00:31:38.580 to arrest people,
00:31:39.480 let's say you use Texas,
00:31:41.020 let's say you use Houston
00:31:42.060 as a great example.
00:31:43.220 Let's say that people
00:31:44.740 actually are getting arrested
00:31:45.760 and being deported.
00:31:47.100 And then you're like,
00:31:47.640 all right,
00:31:47.760 we got to get out of here.
00:31:49.460 Is this not going to be
00:31:50.340 one of the biggest backfires
00:31:51.340 in modern political history
00:31:52.480 where illegal immigrants say,
00:31:53.640 hey, we hear that Denver
00:31:55.180 and we have a video
00:31:56.900 of the Denver mayor saying,
00:31:58.160 come here and you'll be safe.
00:31:59.520 We'll protect you.
00:32:00.780 And they get flooded
00:32:01.840 just like New York City
00:32:02.920 and other sanctuary cities.
00:32:04.480 By the way,
00:32:05.080 Denver is also one
00:32:06.040 of the whitest cities in America.
00:32:07.280 So you've got rich white liberals
00:32:08.700 saying, come invade our city.
00:32:10.100 We don't care if our families
00:32:12.100 are at risk from violent criminals.
00:32:14.040 It is an example.
00:32:15.840 The Democrats didn't learn
00:32:16.860 anything from this election.
00:32:18.020 They're not repentant.
00:32:18.920 They didn't say, gosh,
00:32:20.540 our first responsibility
00:32:21.740 should be protect Americans,
00:32:23.340 keep American families safe.
00:32:24.760 No, they're doubling down on
00:32:27.020 we are woke, hear our roar.
00:32:30.100 If you carry a firearm,
00:32:32.040 you need to make sure
00:32:33.000 that you are protected 24 seven.
00:32:35.000 And with a lot of woke
00:32:36.560 activist DAs out there,
00:32:38.260 they don't like law abiding citizens
00:32:40.120 that carry firearms.
00:32:41.300 And that's why there's over
00:32:42.360 800,000 Americans
00:32:44.840 that are members of the USCCA.
00:32:47.540 Because not only will you get access
00:32:49.140 to their protector academy
00:32:50.600 to learn vital skills
00:32:52.400 like precision shooting
00:32:53.400 and how to fortify your home
00:32:55.500 against criminals,
00:32:56.180 but you're also going to get access
00:32:57.700 to the 24 seven critical response team.
00:33:01.060 And that includes the benefit
00:33:02.960 of self-defense liability insurance
00:33:06.020 to make sure that you and your family
00:33:07.880 are prepared for anything.
00:33:09.060 Let me tell you,
00:33:09.660 I've had to use my firearm
00:33:10.740 to protect and save my own life.
00:33:12.680 And I wish I would have known
00:33:14.680 about the USCCA then.
00:33:16.400 So someone was looking out
00:33:17.740 for my rights
00:33:18.620 right after I had to pull the trigger.
00:33:20.880 And for a limited time,
00:33:22.180 you can text the word America
00:33:24.380 right now to 87222
00:33:28.160 to get the USCCA's
00:33:30.040 free life-saving concealed carry
00:33:32.180 and family defense guide,
00:33:34.480 as well as an awesome chance to win.
00:33:37.040 $1,700 to buy any self-defense gear
00:33:41.100 that you need before it's too late.
00:33:43.560 So why not get a chance
00:33:44.780 to win $1,700 right now?
00:33:47.200 Text the word America
00:33:48.100 to 87222.
00:33:51.340 That's text the word America
00:33:52.840 to 87222 right now.
00:33:55.700 Finally, Senator,
00:33:56.480 this is a big one
00:33:57.500 and I worry more and more,
00:33:59.520 especially over the last 72 hours,
00:34:01.640 about this headline.
00:34:03.320 And it is the question
00:34:05.400 that a lot of Americans are asking,
00:34:07.100 is Biden trying to start World War III
00:34:09.240 just so that he can bog down
00:34:11.660 a Trump agenda?
00:34:12.940 They, you know,
00:34:13.320 they had Russian collusion in 16
00:34:15.140 and impeachment.
00:34:17.180 And that was how they wanted
00:34:18.620 to bog down Donald Trump.
00:34:20.220 But now we're seeing decisions
00:34:22.180 that are being made,
00:34:23.340 not that were in their foreign policy
00:34:26.160 for the last four years,
00:34:27.580 only after they lost.
00:34:29.240 It's like, hey,
00:34:29.700 we're going to allow American missiles
00:34:31.180 to go deep inside of Russia.
00:34:33.280 We're going to give the thumbs up
00:34:34.260 to Ukraine to do that.
00:34:35.560 And now we're hearing about,
00:34:36.900 we're going to have landmines
00:34:38.420 that we've been against
00:34:39.580 for quite some time.
00:34:41.240 Yeah, we're going to send you
00:34:42.060 those as well.
00:34:43.480 Two decisions that have played out
00:34:45.280 in the last 10 days.
00:34:46.840 Number one,
00:34:47.380 the Biden White House
00:34:48.260 has signed off on Ukraine
00:34:50.480 firing U.S.-made long-range missiles
00:34:54.080 directly into Russia,
00:34:55.500 attacking Russia,
00:34:56.960 attacking within the interior of Russia
00:34:59.580 using American weapons.
00:35:01.640 And number two,
00:35:02.280 as you just noted,
00:35:03.480 the Biden administration
00:35:04.560 signing off on sending
00:35:06.480 anti-personnel landmines
00:35:08.640 to Ukraine,
00:35:09.880 again, to use against
00:35:10.960 Russian citizens.
00:35:11.920 But one of the problems
00:35:12.980 with landmines
00:35:13.680 is they often stay buried
00:35:14.840 and they kill civilians
00:35:15.740 for years or even decades later.
00:35:18.540 And one thing you noted
00:35:19.500 that I think was important,
00:35:21.720 during the entire course
00:35:22.800 of this war,
00:35:23.820 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
00:35:24.880 haven't signed off
00:35:25.740 on either of these steps
00:35:27.620 until right now.
00:35:29.680 So before the election,
00:35:31.340 they didn't want to do so.
00:35:33.120 When they would have owned
00:35:34.460 any escalation
00:35:35.520 that came from it,
00:35:37.260 they didn't give the green light.
00:35:38.580 But after the election's over,
00:35:39.900 after they're on the way out,
00:35:41.160 it's like they're standing there
00:35:42.520 pouring gasoline
00:35:43.360 around the White House
00:35:44.700 and looking for a match.
00:35:45.740 I mean, they really are,
00:35:46.920 I think,
00:35:47.240 trying to light things on fire.
00:35:49.240 I got to say,
00:35:50.040 as this news was breaking,
00:35:51.980 I was on Trump Force One
00:35:54.020 with President Trump
00:35:55.240 flying down to Boca Chica
00:35:57.860 in Brownsville, Texas
00:35:58.860 for the SpaceX launch.
00:36:00.080 And we were watching on TV
00:36:01.540 the news about
00:36:03.100 the Biden administration
00:36:03.980 and what it was doing
00:36:05.240 to deliberately escalate
00:36:07.160 the war in Ukraine,
00:36:08.580 the war with Russia.
00:36:09.440 And I got to say,
00:36:09.880 every person on the plane,
00:36:11.120 we were all shaking our heads
00:36:12.700 saying they're trying
00:36:13.820 to start World War III.
00:36:15.260 I mean, that's,
00:36:16.620 it is deliberately
00:36:18.340 trying to make things worse
00:36:21.780 and understand
00:36:22.500 we will see next year
00:36:24.140 the war in Ukraine
00:36:25.000 will be over
00:36:25.660 and the war in Israel
00:36:27.320 will be over.
00:36:28.040 Both of those,
00:36:28.660 Israel will defeat Hamas.
00:36:30.080 That is going to happen.
00:36:31.640 And the war in Ukraine
00:36:33.340 will end.
00:36:34.040 It will end with some sort
00:36:35.180 of negotiated settlement.
00:36:36.680 I believe it will end
00:36:37.920 with Russia losing,
00:36:39.460 facing a serious loss,
00:36:40.940 but it will come to an end.
00:36:42.900 And this Biden White House,
00:36:45.080 they don't want either
00:36:46.100 of those outcomes to happen.
00:36:48.140 And so these decisions,
00:36:50.720 I think,
00:36:51.000 are systematically designed
00:36:52.340 to make it harder
00:36:53.440 and harder and harder
00:36:54.540 to end these wars.
00:36:56.620 And they're incredibly irresponsible.
00:37:00.020 It is the foreign policy equivalent
00:37:02.200 of what they're doing
00:37:02.900 on the border.
00:37:03.460 In both instances,
00:37:04.620 trying to make it all
00:37:05.840 as bad as possible
00:37:07.060 before the new administration
00:37:08.840 comes in.
00:37:09.620 Can we just go back
00:37:10.300 to 2016
00:37:11.020 and the narrative finally,
00:37:12.860 which was,
00:37:13.940 Donald Trump is unhinged.
00:37:16.000 Donald Trump is going
00:37:16.820 to start World War III.
00:37:17.980 It was all over the news
00:37:19.340 for weeks on end.
00:37:20.100 Oh, this guy's unhinged.
00:37:21.440 He's crazy.
00:37:22.060 He's got the nuclear codes.
00:37:23.380 He's got the football, right,
00:37:25.140 and the briefcase.
00:37:25.880 And you can't trust him.
00:37:26.900 He's going to start War III.
00:37:28.140 He's a threat
00:37:28.600 to national security.
00:37:29.560 He didn't start any wars.
00:37:31.540 He didn't send landmines,
00:37:32.960 by the way,
00:37:33.380 to countries to use them.
00:37:35.340 And now we have
00:37:36.760 these decisions
00:37:37.320 that are being made.
00:37:38.100 Where is the international
00:37:39.260 condemnation of this?
00:37:40.360 Like, it's been pretty quiet.
00:37:42.040 Like, you would think
00:37:42.740 a lot of people
00:37:43.460 would be sitting up going,
00:37:44.540 America, you don't need
00:37:45.660 to be doing this.
00:37:46.360 You certainly don't need
00:37:47.160 to be sending landmines.
00:37:48.040 When this broke,
00:37:48.860 I was Googling news stories
00:37:50.160 about trying to get
00:37:50.940 current information.
00:37:52.020 There was an article
00:37:52.920 about a week ago
00:37:53.800 that there was a landmine,
00:37:55.700 and this is the reason
00:37:56.260 why much of the world
00:37:56.920 says no to this,
00:37:58.340 that was from World War II,
00:37:59.740 80 years ago,
00:38:01.120 that blew up under a tarmac
00:38:03.020 in Japan.
00:38:04.280 It was an American landmine
00:38:06.880 that was used
00:38:07.420 during World War II.
00:38:08.140 And that's how long
00:38:09.400 these things can stay around.
00:38:10.820 That's the reason
00:38:11.240 why there's some of you
00:38:11.820 like, hey, let's not,
00:38:13.240 let's not do this.
00:38:14.160 If we, like,
00:38:14.820 let's dial this back.
00:38:16.000 And they're like,
00:38:16.660 yeah, this is a great idea.
00:38:17.660 Let's just throw them
00:38:18.200 out there to Ukraine
00:38:18.880 and see what happens.
00:38:20.060 Well, and I got to say,
00:38:21.320 I'm not convinced
00:38:22.140 that either Biden or Harris
00:38:23.400 are the decision makers here.
00:38:24.700 I think Kamala is on a beach
00:38:27.280 somewhere in Hawaii,
00:38:28.320 and I have no indication
00:38:30.160 that she is engaged
00:38:31.360 in anything.
00:38:33.540 And Joe Biden,
00:38:35.100 who the hell knows
00:38:35.980 what he knows.
00:38:37.180 I think this is
00:38:38.660 the bitter partisans
00:38:39.740 in the White House.
00:38:40.680 I think this is
00:38:41.400 the young apparatchiks
00:38:42.620 who've been running
00:38:43.600 the federal government
00:38:44.360 for four years anyway.
00:38:45.460 I think this is Obama
00:38:46.420 lashing out.
00:38:47.800 And I think this is
00:38:48.760 his team.
00:38:49.700 And his team.
00:38:51.100 And I think
00:38:52.040 they're deliberately,
00:38:53.460 I think it is
00:38:54.360 brazenly irresponsible.
00:38:56.480 It's called sabotage.
00:38:58.120 And that is what
00:38:58.980 they are trying to do
00:38:59.900 on the way out.
00:39:00.840 And you know what?
00:39:01.640 But if you prioritize
00:39:03.620 the welfare of the
00:39:04.760 United States of America,
00:39:05.800 you wouldn't do this.
00:39:08.340 And this was not
00:39:09.780 their policy
00:39:10.460 for the entire administration.
00:39:12.540 It is designed,
00:39:14.440 it is the equivalent
00:39:15.780 of taking a pile
00:39:18.720 of dog manure,
00:39:19.860 putting it in a paper bag,
00:39:21.320 lighting it on fire,
00:39:22.440 sticking it on someone's
00:39:23.380 front door,
00:39:24.100 and ringing the doorbell.
00:39:25.360 That's what they're
00:39:25.940 trying to do
00:39:26.540 to the incoming administration.
00:39:28.040 Who cares who dies
00:39:28.940 in the process?
00:39:29.620 It's incredible.
