Verdict with Ted Cruz - The Illegal Appointment of David Weiss is a Blatant Biden Cover Up, plus Hypocrisy on Open Borders

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.820 Senator, nice to be back here in our home studio.

00:00:08.480 We've done some of these on the road recently,

00:00:10.200 but it's going to be back here.

00:00:11.700 And the American people were told a story this week

00:00:15.560 that a special counsel is going to get appointed

00:00:17.760 to look into Hunter Biden, the Biden crimes. 0.94

00:00:20.560 I feel like we're getting screwed here. 0.85

00:00:22.280 I'm not buying this. 0.92

00:00:23.820 Your reaction?

00:00:25.440 You're right.

00:00:26.000 It is an utter and complete crock.

00:00:27.980 It is a cover-up.

00:00:30.000 Uh, you ought to be pissed at this announcement

00:00:33.300 because this is an announcement that is cynical.

00:00:36.360 It is cynical from Merrick Garland.

00:00:38.540 It is cynical from Joe Biden.

00:00:40.360 It's illegal and it's designed to cover up wrongdoing,

00:00:45.840 cover up wrongdoing of Hunter Biden,

00:00:47.860 cover up wrongdoing of Joe Biden

00:00:49.620 and cover up wrongdoing of Merrick Garland.

00:00:52.440 This is entirely about appearing to enforce the law

00:00:58.060 while at the same time obstructing investigations into doing that.

00:01:02.460 You said it's illegal.

00:01:04.360 By law to become a special counsel, you have to,

00:01:06.800 and I'm going to quote it,

00:01:08.040 be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity

00:01:10.480 and impartial decision-making,

00:01:13.680 conduct investigations expeditiously and thoroughly.

00:01:16.720 I read that,

00:01:18.320 and the guy who let the statute of limitations run out

00:01:20.980 on the most serious financial crimes, tax crimes,

00:01:24.120 is the guy that they're now saying is impartial

00:01:26.180 and is going to run this as a special prosecutor.

00:01:28.860 He also said he could do all the things

00:01:30.680 they're now given the power to do before,

00:01:32.560 so why even appoint him?

00:01:34.920 For political cover.

00:01:36.460 This is entirely political cover,

00:01:38.080 and this is entirely obstruction.

00:01:40.960 There's even more directories,

00:01:42.460 and look, you raise a point why David Weiss

00:01:44.420 is an exceptionally poor choice for this,

00:01:46.640 but there's an even more straightforward reason

00:01:48.500 why this is an illegal choice.

00:01:50.400 So the Department of Justice has regulations

00:01:53.080 that govern special counsels,

00:01:54.720 and when you appoint special counsels,

00:01:56.660 and here's what section 600.3 of the regulations state.

00:02:00.460 Quote,

00:02:01.720 the special counsel shall be selected

00:02:05.120 from outside the United States government.

00:02:09.620 David Weiss is the sitting U.S. attorney for Delaware.

00:02:12.500 He is not outside the U.S. government.

00:02:15.060 Under the Department of Justice's regulations,

00:02:17.580 his appointment is illegal.

00:02:18.960 Now, I suppose Merrick Garland can rest comfortable

00:02:22.260 because he's doing something illegal,

00:02:24.460 but those same regulations, section 600.10,

00:02:28.720 makes clear that no one can sue Merrick Garland

00:02:31.180 for refusing to follow his own regulations.

00:02:35.760 So why is he doing it?

00:02:37.120 Why is he appointing someone who's on his face illegal?

00:02:40.880 The reason is he wants this guy.

00:02:43.360 He wants this guy

00:02:44.520 because he doesn't meet the provision that you just read.

00:02:46.940 He's not fair and impartial.

00:02:48.740 He's not gonna vigorously prosecute the case.

00:02:50.940 And how do we know this?

00:02:52.140 Because for five years, we've seen the job he's done.

00:02:55.220 He hasn't vigorously prosecuted the case.

00:02:58.200 And in fact, to the contrary,

00:03:01.120 David Weiss has slow-walked this investigation

00:03:04.540 for five years.

00:03:05.680 For Pete's sakes, we have pictures and video 0.97

00:03:09.800 of Hunter Biden with prostitutes and crack and a gun.

00:03:13.940 And they're trying to prove that he had a gun 0.95

00:03:16.260 while using drugs.

00:03:17.400 Like at some point, the Keystone cops can figure it out.

00:03:21.620 And it's not that they couldn't figure this out.

00:03:23.800 They didn't wanna figure this out.

00:03:26.480 So they spend five years investigating.

00:03:29.760 Then what they do, and you pointed out,

00:03:33.660 this is one of the most shocking aspects of it.

00:03:36.840 David Weiss allows the statute of limitations

00:03:39.380 to expire on the 2014 and 2015 tax offenses.

00:03:44.020 Those were by far the most serious tax offenses.

00:03:46.320 From a lawyer's perspective,

00:03:47.360 I wanna know when you're doing a case,

00:03:49.340 and I think so many people may not understand this,

00:03:52.140 you look at what you're looking at

00:03:53.800 when you're charging someone with crimes.

00:03:56.140 I'm assuming that's normal.

00:03:57.360 And you would look at the statute of limitations.

00:03:59.520 It's not like they would sneak up on you.

00:04:01.140 Is that correct?

00:04:01.740 You know it absolutely.

00:04:03.080 The statute of limitations for the crimes here

00:04:04.800 was six years.

00:04:05.920 So you know when the statute of limitations

00:04:07.860 is going to expire.

00:04:09.180 Now, the IRS whistleblowers have said

00:04:11.420 that Weiss initially inquired

00:04:14.240 about prosecuting those crimes.

00:04:16.460 One of them would have to be

00:04:17.280 in the Central District of California

00:04:18.560 because you had to bring the crimes,

00:04:20.260 the prosecution where the crime occurred.

00:04:21.900 Another would have to be in DC.

00:04:23.800 And according to the IRS whistleblowers,

00:04:25.400 the U.S. attorneys in DC

00:04:26.940 and the Central District of California said no.

00:04:29.680 Now, Merrick Garland told the United States Senate

00:04:32.300 under oath in response to my questioning

00:04:34.300 that Weiss had all the authority

00:04:36.540 to bring those cases.

00:04:38.900 According to the IRS whistleblowers,

00:04:40.600 that was a lie.

00:04:45.380 Weiss then came back and said,

00:04:47.060 no, no, no.

00:04:47.700 I had all the authority to bring those cases.

00:04:49.760 So, if Weiss is telling the truth,

00:04:54.700 then he chose not to bring the cases.

00:04:57.780 And he chose to let the statute of limitations expire.

00:05:01.040 And what that means is

00:05:02.020 you can't prosecute Hunter

00:05:03.940 for those crimes anymore

00:05:05.800 because the statute has expired.

00:05:07.260 But it's worse than that.

00:05:08.640 And it's worse than that doubly over.

00:05:11.580 Number one,

00:05:12.560 it's not just the tax offenses

00:05:15.920 in 2014 and 2015 that have expired.

00:05:19.460 You know, all the criminal conduct

00:05:21.360 and corruption,

00:05:22.220 the $20 million that was paid

00:05:24.600 to Biden family members

00:05:26.160 and associates while Joe Biden was president.

00:05:28.720 Keyword, while he was the vice president.

00:05:30.640 Right.

00:05:30.900 And to be clear,

00:05:32.180 our last podcast went a deep dive into that.

00:05:35.020 If you didn't listen to Friday's podcast,

00:05:37.520 go back and listen to it

00:05:38.440 because we walk through

00:05:39.580 what the House has put out now,

00:05:41.260 bank records, wired records,

00:05:43.000 more than $20 million

00:05:44.420 paid to Biden Inc.,

00:05:47.620 to all the Biden family members

00:05:49.180 and associates

00:05:49.740 while Joe Biden was vice president.

00:05:52.520 You know what the statute of limitations

00:05:54.020 has run on?

00:05:55.520 All of that.

00:05:57.200 Every minute of Joe Biden's vice presidency

00:05:59.880 is now miraculously,

00:06:02.000 gosh, the statute has run.

00:06:03.200 And why is the statute run?

00:06:04.640 Because David Weiss wanted it to run.

00:06:07.180 And we know that

00:06:08.040 and we know that

00:06:09.260 because,

00:06:10.780 and the single most stunning thing

00:06:12.220 the IRS whistleblower said

00:06:13.600 that almost no one has commented on,

00:06:16.340 the IRS whistleblower said

00:06:18.160 that Hunter Biden's attorney

00:06:19.880 said to David Weiss,

00:06:21.880 we'll toll the statute of limitations.

00:06:24.740 Now, what does it mean to toll?

00:06:26.140 To toll the statute of limitations

00:06:27.480 means a defendant agrees,

00:06:29.120 okay, you can extend it.

00:06:30.520 You can prosecute me beyond,

00:06:32.280 we can just put a pause

00:06:33.460 on the statute of limitations.

00:06:34.960 And Hunter's lawyers were doing this

00:06:36.940 because they were trying

00:06:38.040 to negotiate a global plea deal.

00:06:40.420 A sweetheart deal.

00:06:41.720 And what the IRS whistleblower said

00:06:43.700 is that David Weiss said,

00:06:45.000 no, no, that's okay.

00:06:46.340 You don't need to toll

00:06:47.320 the statute of limitations.

00:06:49.100 I'll just let them expire.

00:06:50.740 I'll give you a get out of jail free card.

00:06:53.400 That's what he did.

00:06:54.520 That is a stunning statement.

00:06:56.860 No prosecutor would do this.

00:06:59.200 And so for five years,

00:07:01.500 David Weiss has been covering up,

00:07:03.140 he's been obstructing,

00:07:04.160 and let's be clear,

00:07:05.000 those IRS whistleblowers,

00:07:06.560 their testimony is that lawyers

00:07:08.140 who work for David Weiss

00:07:09.300 obstructed this investigation

00:07:13.000 from day one.

00:07:14.480 They gave Hunter Biden a heads up

00:07:16.040 before they questioned him

00:07:17.440 to let him prepare for the questioning.

00:07:19.040 They gave Hunter Biden a heads up

00:07:20.720 before they executed search warrants

00:07:22.500 to let him presumably destroy

00:07:24.780 incriminating evidence.

00:07:26.580 They prohibited investigators

00:07:31.140 from asking any questions

00:07:33.040 about Joe Biden,

00:07:34.300 about the big guy,

00:07:35.420 about his dad.

00:07:36.140 They said, nope, nope,

00:07:37.220 you're not allowed to ask,

00:07:38.200 not allowed to ask,

00:07:38.940 not allowed to ask.

00:07:39.840 They viewed their job

00:07:41.040 as protecting the big guy.

00:07:43.040 They blocked those off.

00:07:44.420 They also,

00:07:45.340 according to the IRS whistleblowers,

00:07:47.260 prohibited investigators

00:07:48.400 from examining GPS data

00:07:51.520 to determine whether Joe Biden

00:07:53.480 was sitting next to Hunter Biden

00:07:55.080 when Hunter Biden sent the text

00:07:57.180 to the senior Chinese communist official

00:07:59.500 saying, I am sitting here

00:08:01.440 next to my father

00:08:02.680 and shaking him down

00:08:04.040 for five million dollars.

00:08:05.240 And within 10 days,

00:08:06.020 they got the money.

00:08:06.640 And within 10 days,

00:08:07.500 they got the money.

00:08:08.140 We know the text was sent

00:08:09.260 or the WhatsApp encrypted message

00:08:11.400 was sent,

00:08:12.100 and we know that five times

00:08:13.980 in that text,

00:08:15.300 Hunter says he and his father

00:08:17.020 that he's doing it

00:08:17.800 on behalf of his father.

00:08:18.860 It was a simple matter to say,

00:08:21.060 well, Hunter says twice

00:08:23.040 in that text

00:08:23.700 he's sitting next to his father.

00:08:25.460 Was he sitting next to his father?

00:08:27.180 We can compare the GPS data.

00:08:28.980 Is Joe sitting next to him?

00:08:30.460 And what did David Weiss

00:08:31.440 and his lawyers say?

00:08:32.400 Nope, nope,

00:08:33.220 you're not allowed to know.

00:08:34.680 It's like the three monkeys,

00:08:36.140 see no evil,

00:08:36.780 hear no evil,

00:08:37.360 speak no evil.

00:08:38.360 That's just evil.

00:08:39.620 They're covering it up.

00:08:41.600 And so I got to say,

00:08:42.620 look, I look at this announcement

00:08:44.080 and I'm pissed.

00:08:46.400 And let me make a movie analogy.

00:08:48.640 You've seen The Untouchables.

00:08:49.880 Oh, yeah.

00:08:50.260 One of the greatest movies

00:08:51.500 of all time.

00:08:51.980 Yeah.

00:08:52.840 Can you imagine

00:08:53.820 in The Untouchables

00:08:54.820 if Elliot Ness

00:08:56.860 was told

00:08:59.140 the prosecutor for Al Capone

00:09:02.500 is going to be

00:09:04.540 Al Capone's accountant?

00:09:05.860 Yeah.

00:09:06.580 Is going to be the guy

00:09:07.760 that covered it up,

00:09:08.980 that hid it all,

00:09:09.980 that stopped him

00:09:10.980 from being caught.

00:09:11.940 He's the prosecutor.

00:09:13.120 That's what Merrick Garland

00:09:14.240 has done.

00:09:14.880 He's put someone

00:09:15.800 who has been covering up

00:09:16.940 for Joe Biden

00:09:18.080 for five years,

00:09:20.000 ostensibly in charge

00:09:21.120 of the investigation.

00:09:22.260 There's also been

00:09:23.220 some fodder online

00:09:24.280 and I want to know,

00:09:25.640 and I think I know

00:09:26.560 the answer to this,

00:09:27.260 but I think a lot of people

00:09:28.100 have been saying this online.

00:09:29.260 I want you to clarify it.

00:09:30.780 There have been Democrats

00:09:31.580 saying,

00:09:31.940 well, hold on a second.

00:09:32.700 A special prosecutor

00:09:33.400 is a very important deal.

00:09:34.860 It's a very big deal.

00:09:35.780 It could put them

00:09:36.320 in serious risk

00:09:37.260 and it could extend

00:09:38.880 the statute of limitations.

00:09:40.140 That's not true.

00:09:41.580 Once it's run,

00:09:42.540 the special prosecutor

00:09:43.420 doesn't have any way

00:09:44.280 to magically revive

00:09:45.660 the statute of limitations.

00:09:46.160 So it's not like

00:09:46.920 because he's been named,

00:09:47.760 now he can say,

00:09:48.480 okay, I'm going to go back

00:09:49.300 and look at all these things.

00:09:50.300 The time's up.

00:09:51.560 The stopwatch has ended.

00:09:53.260 The game's over

00:09:54.040 on those other crimes.

00:09:55.300 And listen,

00:09:55.480 I and many others

00:09:56.320 called for a special counsel

00:09:57.580 to be appointed

00:09:58.480 two years ago,

00:09:59.420 to have a prosecutor

00:10:00.300 that was actually

00:10:01.040 vigorously investigating this.

00:10:03.220 Merrick Garland

00:10:03.740 refused to do that.

00:10:05.480 But in this case,

00:10:06.360 it's even more obstruction

00:10:07.420 than that

00:10:08.040 because what's happened

00:10:09.780 between those two years

00:10:11.040 is now David Weiss himself,

00:10:12.540 there are real allegations

00:10:14.520 that he committed

00:10:15.500 obstruction of justice.

00:10:16.940 There are very serious

00:10:18.020 allegations

00:10:18.600 that Merrick Garland

00:10:20.140 lied under oath,

00:10:22.580 which is a felony,

00:10:23.640 and obstructed justices

00:10:25.640 into this investigation,

00:10:27.040 which is a felony.

00:10:28.020 As you and I have talked

00:10:29.320 about on verdict,

00:10:30.760 the House of Representatives

00:10:31.780 needs to have a hearing

00:10:32.840 with the IRS whistleblower

00:10:34.900 sitting there,

00:10:35.520 with David Weiss sitting there,

00:10:36.720 and with Merrick Garland

00:10:37.700 sitting there

00:10:38.300 because all of them

00:10:41.640 can't be telling the truth.

00:10:43.120 If the whistleblowers

00:10:44.220 are telling the truth,

00:10:45.280 then David Weiss

00:10:46.160 and Merrick Garland

00:10:46.860 are both lying

00:10:47.840 and both face

00:10:49.000 criminal liability individually.

00:10:50.780 Now, what Merrick Garland

00:10:52.520 has done is said,

00:10:53.520 hey, who's one of the

00:10:54.580 key witnesses against me?

00:10:56.220 Let me name him

00:10:56.860 a special counsel

00:10:57.780 so then it'll look okay

00:10:59.900 when he refuses

00:11:00.580 to testify to Congress.

00:11:01.700 This is about,

00:11:02.960 this is not just covering up

00:11:04.580 Hunter and Joe Biden,

00:11:05.520 although it is in a very

00:11:06.380 significant respect

00:11:07.440 covering up Hunter

00:11:08.500 and Joe Biden.

00:11:09.500 This is Merrick Garland 1.00

00:11:10.760 covering his own ass. 1.00

00:11:12.340 This is saying, 0.99

00:11:13.660 who's the chief witness

00:11:14.720 against me

00:11:15.600 that can show

00:11:17.420 that I lied under oath

00:11:18.840 and committed a felony?

00:11:19.940 Well, let me appoint him

00:11:20.680 special counsel

00:11:21.340 because I know

00:11:22.180 he will be complicit.

00:11:23.280 And let me be clear.

00:11:25.980 From the IRS whistleblower's

00:11:29.760 testimony,

00:11:31.040 we don't know

00:11:32.520 if David Weiss

00:11:33.560 was an active

00:11:35.640 and aggressive

00:11:37.120 partisan

00:11:38.540 covering up

00:11:40.120 for Hunter and Joe Biden

00:11:41.180 if he himself

00:11:43.300 was the one doing so

00:11:44.460 or if he was

00:11:46.680 simply complicit,

00:11:47.760 if he was simply

00:11:48.460 so weak

00:11:49.360 that he let

00:11:50.920 the active

00:11:51.520 aggressive partisans

00:11:52.660 at Maine Justice

00:11:53.480 do so.

00:11:54.160 It's not clear

00:11:55.040 from the IRS testimony

00:11:56.260 who was the decider,

00:11:58.460 although it's worth

00:11:59.340 listening.

00:11:59.920 All right,

00:12:00.140 so listen to one

00:12:01.000 of the IRS whistleblowers

00:12:02.820 describe when he had enough

00:12:05.560 with David Weiss.

00:12:06.340 Give a listen.

00:12:07.280 The Justice Department

00:12:08.420 allowed the president's

00:12:09.280 political appointees

00:12:10.140 to weigh in on

00:12:10.860 whether they're charged

00:12:11.560 the president's son.

00:12:12.980 After United States

00:12:13.760 Attorney for D.C.,

00:12:15.220 Matthew Graves,

00:12:16.060 appointed by President Biden,

00:12:17.640 refused to bring charges

00:12:18.580 in March 2022,

00:12:20.300 I watched United States

00:12:21.340 Attorney Weiss

00:12:21.980 tell a room full

00:12:22.780 of senior FBI

00:12:23.620 and IRS senior leaders

00:12:24.880 on October 7, 2022,

00:12:26.880 that he was not

00:12:27.940 the deciding person

00:12:28.860 on whether charges

00:12:30.460 were filed.

00:12:31.520 That was my red line.

00:12:34.040 I had already seen

00:12:34.700 a pattern of preferential

00:12:35.660 treatment and obstruction.

00:12:37.520 Now, United States Weiss 0.53

00:12:38.580 was admitting

00:12:39.160 that what the American

00:12:39.940 people believed

00:12:40.880 based on Attorney General's

00:12:42.320 sworn statement

00:12:43.440 was false.

00:12:44.440 I can no longer

00:12:45.040 stay silent.

00:12:46.280 So listen,

00:12:47.440 he just said

00:12:48.240 he'd seen a pattern

00:12:49.300 of preferential treatment

00:12:51.660 and obstruction

00:12:53.100 and he'd seen

00:12:54.860 the Attorney General

00:12:55.720 lie under oath.

00:12:56.580 He's alleging

00:12:57.400 multiple felonies

00:12:58.980 not just by Merrick Garland

00:13:00.460 but implicitly

00:13:01.320 by David Weiss as well.

00:13:02.360 The pattern of obstruction

00:13:03.380 and what he describes

00:13:05.860 with David Weiss,

00:13:07.080 it may be,

00:13:08.020 and I don't know Weiss

00:13:08.900 at all,

00:13:09.160 never met the guy,

00:13:10.240 don't know anything

00:13:10.980 about him personally.

00:13:13.020 It may just be

00:13:13.960 that he's exceptionally weak,

00:13:15.220 that he's a patsy,

00:13:16.000 that he's someone

00:13:16.660 that Merrick Garland's like,

00:13:17.860 okay, we can stick him in

00:13:19.380 because he'll just roll over.

00:13:21.420 We can bully him

00:13:22.280 and he'll do whatever we want.

00:13:23.160 That's possible.

00:13:24.620 Or he himself

00:13:25.740 might be a partisan now.

00:13:27.840 The corporate media

00:13:28.720 says till they're

00:13:29.620 red in the face

00:13:30.820 that Weiss

00:13:32.120 is a Donald Trump appointee.

00:13:33.900 Yeah,

00:13:34.240 they've said that

00:13:34.840 a thousand times.

00:13:36.020 And the nice thing is

00:13:37.320 verdict listeners

00:13:38.060 know the answer to that,

00:13:39.420 which is the way

00:13:40.260 U.S. attorneys

00:13:40.860 are appointed.

00:13:41.740 You cannot be appointed

00:13:42.880 U.S. attorney

00:13:43.700 without the sign-off

00:13:45.520 of both senators

00:13:46.440 from that state.

00:13:47.480 Delaware has two senators,

00:13:48.860 both Democrats,

00:13:50.080 Tom Carper

00:13:50.620 and Chris Coons.

00:13:51.620 Hardcore liberals,

00:13:52.620 let's be clear about that.

00:13:53.480 The only way

00:13:55.200 David Weiss

00:13:56.820 could be appointed

00:13:57.480 is if both Tom Carper

00:13:58.940 and Chris Coons

00:13:59.800 said,

00:14:00.320 yes,

00:14:01.620 we sign off.

00:14:03.340 And so,

00:14:04.400 look,

00:14:04.740 I don't have

00:14:05.640 any affirmative evidence

00:14:06.940 that Weiss

00:14:07.740 is a partisan Democrat.

00:14:08.980 He was not a big

00:14:09.740 Democrat donor.

00:14:10.700 There are others.

00:14:11.520 Yeah.

00:14:11.700 The U.S. attorney

00:14:12.540 in D.C.

00:14:13.640 who turned down

00:14:14.420 prosecuting Hunter,

00:14:16.120 he was a partisan Democrat

00:14:17.280 who had been a donor

00:14:18.060 to Joe Biden.

00:14:18.860 The U.S. attorney

00:14:19.480 in the Central District,

00:14:20.260 California,

00:14:20.840 who turned down

00:14:22.020 prosecuting Hunter.

00:14:23.260 He was a partisan Democrat

00:14:24.400 who had been a donor

00:14:25.120 to Kamala Harris.

00:14:27.060 We don't have

00:14:27.740 that same information

00:14:28.760 on David Weiss,

00:14:29.880 but we also don't have

00:14:30.640 any information

00:14:31.240 that Weiss

00:14:31.820 was a Republican,

00:14:33.200 was a donor to Trump

00:14:34.060 or any Republicans.

00:14:34.940 We don't have information

00:14:35.780 on that.

00:14:37.080 We do know

00:14:37.960 the two Democrats

00:14:38.840 in Delaware

00:14:39.640 signed off,

00:14:40.400 and Delaware

00:14:40.760 is a very small state.

00:14:42.660 It's a state

00:14:43.160 where the relevant players

00:14:45.660 all know each other,

00:14:46.860 so they presumably

00:14:47.600 knew what they were getting.

00:14:48.640 And what we do know

00:14:51.060 is the job he has done,

00:14:52.380 and the job he has done

00:14:53.660 has been disgraceful.

00:14:55.700 This sweetheart deal

00:14:56.800 that was negotiated

00:14:58.140 with Hunter

00:14:58.680 was designed

00:14:59.940 not only to be a slap

00:15:01.940 on the wrist to Hunter

00:15:02.640 and get him off, 0.66

00:15:03.480 but the entire purpose

00:15:04.700 was to protect the big guy.

00:15:06.580 It was a cover-up

00:15:07.560 of Joe Biden,

00:15:09.200 and this latest

00:15:10.100 special counsel appointment

00:15:11.100 is exactly that.

00:15:12.140 I want to tell you

00:15:12.620 about our friends

00:15:13.080 at Augusta Precious Metals

00:15:14.140 real quick.

00:15:14.680 If you are planning

00:15:15.880 for retirement,

00:15:16.620 you're close to retirement,

00:15:17.600 in retirement,

00:15:18.880 you know how important

00:15:19.780 it is right now

00:15:20.480 to protect your assets

00:15:21.740 and diversify.

00:15:22.960 Well, all over the world,

00:15:23.920 people are using

00:15:24.540 gold and silver,

00:15:25.660 and they're using them

00:15:26.880 in their IRAs

00:15:27.760 and their 401ks

00:15:28.620 right here in this country.

00:15:30.100 And that is why

00:15:31.000 I want you to know

00:15:31.540 about Augusta Precious Metals.

00:15:33.100 You've seen what's been

00:15:33.980 happening with our economy,

00:15:35.160 inflation,

00:15:35.780 you've seen what's happened

00:15:36.460 with some bank failures

00:15:37.380 this year as well,

00:15:38.480 and that's where

00:15:39.340 gold and silver

00:15:40.160 can come in

00:15:40.760 to help you

00:15:41.160 protect your assets.

00:15:42.600 Now, if you are

00:15:43.360 in retirement,

00:15:44.300 you know there's

00:15:45.160 no time

00:15:45.800 to make up losses.

00:15:46.760 That's the other reason

00:15:48.180 why you should call

00:15:49.220 Augusta Precious Metals.

00:15:50.700 They're going to do

00:15:51.220 two things for you

00:15:52.020 when you call.

00:15:52.500 Number one,

00:15:52.900 they're going to send you

00:15:53.400 the information guide

00:15:54.440 on gold,

00:15:55.500 specifically with your IRA

00:15:56.920 and your 401k.

00:15:58.780 Then they're going to do

00:15:59.620 a one-on-one

00:16:00.500 web conference with you

00:16:02.180 to answer all

00:16:03.420 of your questions

00:16:04.380 so that you know

00:16:05.400 if gold is right

00:16:06.740 for you

00:16:07.460 in diversifying

00:16:08.920 your hard-earned dollars.

00:16:10.820 Call them right now.

00:16:12.120 877-4-GOLD IRA

00:16:15.640 877-4-GOLD IRA

00:16:19.200 or online

00:16:19.880 at AugustaPreciousMetals.com

00:16:23.140 Tell them I sent you

00:16:24.560 and you'll get your fees

00:16:25.620 for up to 10 years

00:16:26.540 covered with a promo code

00:16:28.080 VERDICT.

00:16:29.580 AugustaPreciousMetals.com

00:16:31.660 or 877-4-GOLD IRA.

00:16:34.740 Two more questions

00:16:35.760 on this, Senator,

00:16:36.300 I want to ask you.

00:16:36.980 One,

00:16:38.100 there seems to be

00:16:40.540 a walking contradiction now

00:16:42.360 just to the fact

00:16:44.140 they appointed

00:16:44.760 Weiss as special counsel.

00:16:46.240 They said he had

00:16:47.060 all the power

00:16:47.520 he needed to do

00:16:47.980 his job before.

00:16:49.180 He said he had all

00:16:50.160 that he needed

00:16:51.540 to do his job before.

00:16:52.720 So if that was true

00:16:54.020 and Garland was telling

00:16:55.360 the truth

00:16:55.800 and Weiss was telling

00:16:56.560 the truth,

00:16:57.340 why then appoint him

00:16:58.880 right now,

00:17:00.020 special prosecutor,

00:17:01.040 when the fact of the matter

00:17:02.040 is you've said

00:17:02.560 he didn't need

00:17:03.360 this staff to do his job.

00:17:04.860 Does that open them up

00:17:06.080 to even more criticism

00:17:07.460 about what they've been doing?

00:17:08.640 Yeah, it's pure politics.

00:17:10.740 This appointment was done

00:17:11.940 so Merrick Garland can say,

00:17:13.340 see, we're being tough.

00:17:14.280 I appointed a special counsel.

00:17:15.760 Does that mean by default

00:17:16.660 they were being weak

00:17:17.340 before then?

00:17:18.080 Well, he's trying

00:17:19.120 to demonstrate,

00:17:20.100 look, I'm responding. 0.99

00:17:22.020 Like, holy crap, 0.96

00:17:23.100 last week the House 0.98

00:17:23.940 released wires

00:17:25.500 and bank records

00:17:26.940 of more than $20 million

00:17:28.520 paid to the family

00:17:30.320 and associates of Joe Biden

00:17:31.800 while he was vice president

00:17:33.760 from foreign nationals

00:17:35.340 in Russia, Ukraine

00:17:36.440 and Kazakhstan. 0.96

00:17:37.720 That's a big damn deal. 0.93

00:17:39.500 $20 million 0.93

00:17:40.080 and by the way,

00:17:41.160 another $8 million

00:17:42.000 from Chinese communists

00:17:43.760 in the few months

00:17:44.400 after he was vice president.

00:17:45.720 So $28 million.

00:17:47.160 And most of that,

00:17:47.960 you're now saying

00:17:48.440 sexual limitations-wise

00:17:49.600 has already disappeared.

00:17:50.860 Thanks to David Weiss.

00:17:52.080 Nice job.

00:17:52.960 I mean,

00:17:53.120 he did a great job

00:17:54.180 of dragging his feet

00:17:55.040 long enough

00:17:55.620 that he gave

00:17:57.140 a significant degree

00:17:58.500 of immunity

00:17:58.980 to everyone

00:17:59.620 who broke the law here.

00:18:01.040 But look,

00:18:02.720 what we started off

00:18:03.680 in this podcast

00:18:04.560 on it's worth

00:18:06.000 going back

00:18:06.580 and reflecting on,

00:18:07.360 I pointed out

00:18:08.000 that under the DOJ rules,

00:18:10.520 David Weiss's appointment

00:18:11.540 is illegal.

00:18:13.300 The special counsel

00:18:14.480 is designed to be someone

00:18:15.520 from outside of government

00:18:16.500 and that's not an accident.

00:18:17.640 There's a reason.

00:18:17.860 But what does that look like

00:18:18.700 for people that may not know that?

00:18:19.840 So there's a reason for that.

00:18:21.500 You appoint a special counsel

00:18:23.060 when there's a conflict

00:18:24.060 of interest

00:18:24.600 within the Department of Justice.

00:18:26.140 When it's not possible

00:18:27.540 for DOJ

00:18:28.320 to fairly investigate it,

00:18:29.700 you appoint someone

00:18:30.320 from outside the government

00:18:31.440 who can actually

00:18:33.240 take it on

00:18:34.160 and be fair

00:18:34.960 and impartial.

00:18:35.800 So that's calling

00:18:36.660 a law firm

00:18:37.420 a top person

00:18:38.220 saying,

00:18:38.700 hey,

00:18:39.060 what qualifies you

00:18:40.220 for that?

00:18:40.600 So it's typically

00:18:41.460 a former prosecutor

00:18:42.620 who is outside of government

00:18:44.080 who is usually

00:18:45.520 of the opposing party.

00:18:47.000 So for example,

00:18:48.340 think back to Bill Clinton.

00:18:49.700 Yeah.

00:18:49.900 When Bill Clinton,

00:18:50.860 Janet Reno,

00:18:51.460 is attorney general,

00:18:52.240 when she decided

00:18:53.140 they needed to appoint

00:18:54.340 a special counsel,

00:18:55.820 who did they appoint?

00:18:56.980 Ken Starr.

00:18:57.640 Yeah.

00:18:57.820 Ken Starr

00:18:58.580 was a prominent Republican.

00:19:00.460 He was not a friend

00:19:01.260 of Bill Clinton.

00:19:01.900 He was not a crony

00:19:02.620 of Bill Clinton.

00:19:03.580 He hadn't been signed off on

00:19:05.140 by two Democrat senators

00:19:06.420 in Delaware.

00:19:07.420 He didn't have five years

00:19:08.680 of dragging his feet

00:19:09.660 and covering up

00:19:10.480 Hunter Biden

00:19:11.180 and Joe Biden.

00:19:12.120 The reason

00:19:12.820 the special counsel's rules

00:19:14.280 say pick someone

00:19:15.020 from out of government

00:19:15.820 is it should be someone

00:19:17.660 who cannot reasonably

00:19:19.620 and plausibly be said

00:19:21.340 is going to be a patsy

00:19:23.280 for the president

00:19:24.500 and the party in power.

00:19:25.660 You know who they

00:19:26.080 ought to appoint?

00:19:26.600 They ought to appoint 1.00

00:19:27.860 someone like John Ratcliffe.

00:19:29.760 John Ratcliffe

00:19:30.660 was former acting

00:19:31.800 U.S. attorney in Texas,

00:19:33.540 was head of the Department

00:19:34.520 of National Intelligence,

00:19:35.860 was a U.S. congressman.

00:19:37.440 Now, John is a conservative Republican.

00:19:39.280 John is a real prosecutor.

00:19:41.060 And by the way,

00:19:42.520 if John Ratcliffe

00:19:44.160 were appointed special counsel

00:19:45.760 to investigate Merrick Garland

00:19:48.500 for lying under oath

00:19:50.000 and obstruction of justice,

00:19:51.100 to investigate Hunter Biden,

00:19:52.520 and most significantly

00:19:53.920 to investigate Joe Biden,

00:19:56.280 if John Ratcliffe were appointed, 0.99

00:19:58.220 it would scare the living crap 0.92

00:20:00.180 out of Joe Biden, 0.74

00:20:02.680 out of Hunter Biden,

00:20:03.680 out of Merrick Garland,

00:20:04.620 out of every partisan Democrat,

00:20:06.160 because you'd actually have

00:20:07.380 a prosecutor willing

00:20:08.400 to follow the facts.

00:20:09.320 And by the way,

00:20:09.980 I haven't talked to John

00:20:10.720 about this.

00:20:11.220 He has no idea

00:20:11.860 I'm suggesting his name

00:20:12.860 until this podcast comes out

00:20:14.840 and then he'll find out,

00:20:16.000 presumably.

00:20:16.280 But that's the kind of person

00:20:18.660 you'd appoint,

00:20:19.840 which is a serious prosecutor

00:20:21.680 on the other team.

00:20:23.880 That's the whole point.

00:20:25.440 With a fresh set of eyes.

00:20:26.440 Yes.

00:20:26.560 It wasn't involved

00:20:27.200 in any of this,

00:20:28.040 in any capacity.

00:20:28.620 Who has no credible argument

00:20:31.180 that they're going to be a patsy,

00:20:33.440 they're going to be a rubber stamp,

00:20:34.520 that they're going to cover up,

00:20:35.940 who doesn't have

00:20:37.280 a political reason

00:20:38.780 to want to protect

00:20:41.720 the President of the United States.

00:20:44.000 That's what the special counsel

00:20:45.660 law is for.

00:20:47.360 It's why people don't like it,

00:20:48.920 because it can be,

00:20:50.060 it can have real bite to it,

00:20:52.160 that when you put

00:20:52.760 a real prosecutor

00:20:53.680 who is not your guy,

00:20:57.100 bad things happen.

00:20:58.400 Let's break down

00:20:59.240 the media aspect of this as well.

00:21:00.980 The media erupted this week

00:21:02.800 when it came out

00:21:03.760 there was a special counsel appointed.

00:21:06.020 They played it up

00:21:07.160 as a really big deal

00:21:08.020 to look like there was

00:21:08.760 some sort of accountability here.

00:21:10.360 Oh, if there is a crime

00:21:12.000 that's been committed

00:21:12.580 by the Bidens,

00:21:13.320 now it's going to really be found.

00:21:15.660 Catherine Heritage at CBS

00:21:17.100 said this, take a look.

00:21:18.840 Former federal prosecutor

00:21:19.940 I spoke to just before this event

00:21:22.000 said to me the appointment

00:21:23.220 of a special counsel

00:21:24.280 would have the effect

00:21:25.340 of delaying a resolution

00:21:27.160 on the Hunter Biden matter,

00:21:29.260 in his opinion.

00:21:30.320 And it would certainly delay

00:21:31.800 any anticipated testimony

00:21:33.560 from the U.S. attorney

00:21:34.560 in Delaware

00:21:35.380 to Republicans on Capitol Hill

00:21:37.860 who have been seeking

00:21:38.540 that testimony

00:21:39.260 for several months.

00:21:40.740 So it's an extraordinary development

00:21:42.860 considering where the two parties

00:21:44.860 were two weeks ago

00:21:46.480 to wrap up this year's long case

00:21:48.660 now to the appointment

00:21:49.760 of a special counsel

00:21:50.820 that will have these broad authorities

00:21:52.880 most importantly

00:21:54.280 to continue this ongoing investigation, Margaret.

00:21:58.060 Now they say extraordinary.

00:21:59.800 You notice how the word extraordinary

00:22:01.740 was here.

00:22:02.940 They were reporting on this

00:22:04.520 like this is a massive thing

00:22:05.800 when they think

00:22:06.280 they already know the fix is in

00:22:07.560 and that Weiss is already the guy.

00:22:09.640 I mean, they act like Weiss

00:22:10.700 is somehow like a new guy.

00:22:11.940 He's the same guy

00:22:12.720 that just did the investigation

00:22:13.940 that just allowed

00:22:15.000 for the statute of limitations

00:22:16.040 to come out.

00:22:16.760 And you compare that

00:22:18.200 to Jonathan Turley at Fox

00:22:20.120 who's coming out saying

00:22:20.780 this is not a big deal.

00:22:22.580 In fact, this is a cover-up.

00:22:23.980 Take a look.

00:22:25.200 I was not surprised

00:22:26.440 but I was not nearly as delighted

00:22:29.000 as I would have been

00:22:30.840 two years ago

00:22:31.780 when many of us

00:22:32.660 were calling for this appointment.

00:22:34.760 They waited for the appointment

00:22:36.420 of a special counsel

00:22:37.760 after the statute of limitations

00:22:40.760 has run on critical crimes

00:22:43.300 like the tax violations

00:22:45.180 in 2014, 2015.

00:22:48.520 They waited until Weiss himself

00:22:50.500 was accused of slowing

00:22:52.940 or suppressing efforts.

00:22:56.820 At least the whistleblower suggested

00:22:58.600 that he was not able

00:22:59.960 to pursue cases

00:23:00.960 and didn't aggressively

00:23:02.300 push back on that.

00:23:03.920 So there's going to be

00:23:04.420 a lot of questions here.

00:23:05.660 This is occurring

00:23:06.820 as Congress is moving aggressively

00:23:09.760 to pursue some of these issues.

00:23:12.540 This new status

00:23:14.020 can certainly slow

00:23:15.020 that process down.

00:23:16.780 Weiss was at the top

00:23:18.220 of the list of Congress

00:23:20.060 to be brought in

00:23:21.280 to explain

00:23:21.940 why did you allow

00:23:23.060 the statute of limitations

00:23:24.000 to run?

00:23:25.160 Why were Biden people

00:23:27.520 tipped off about raids?

00:23:29.420 Why was there an interference

00:23:30.780 with investigators

00:23:32.000 and trying to interview

00:23:33.040 Hunter Biden?

00:23:36.160 All of those questions

00:23:37.360 are now likely

00:23:38.260 to be delayed

00:23:39.200 before they are answered.

00:23:41.740 Now, he said delayed

00:23:42.760 and I think it was

00:23:43.480 he was saying exactly

00:23:44.500 what you said, by the way,

00:23:45.560 two years ago

00:23:46.020 you were calling for this.

00:23:47.560 That was an honest media assessment

00:23:49.120 of what just happened here.

00:23:50.200 But he also, I think,

00:23:51.440 is foreshadowing,

00:23:52.420 hey, this could get delayed

00:23:53.600 into or even past

00:23:55.800 the presidential election

00:23:56.640 where Joe Biden's up

00:23:57.520 for re-election now

00:23:58.360 with the special counsel.

00:23:58.900 Are you saying something's

00:23:59.500 happening in November

00:24:00.200 of next year?

00:24:00.760 Yes, something's happening.

00:24:01.840 And you're suggesting

00:24:03.360 maybe the White House

00:24:04.460 is aware of that date

00:24:05.440 of November of next year?

00:24:06.720 Yep.

00:24:07.080 And maybe Merrick Garland

00:24:08.320 is as well?

00:24:09.140 Yeah.

00:24:09.660 And maybe all of the press

00:24:11.700 that are treating this

00:24:12.540 as, ooh, look how exciting,

00:24:13.820 yay, yay, a special counsel.

00:24:15.060 Oh, well, year and a half,

00:24:16.260 nothing more to see here.

00:24:17.420 Let's go back to talking

00:24:18.360 about our favorite topic,

00:24:19.440 which is the 437th indictment

00:24:21.540 of Donald Trump.

00:24:22.160 Yeah.

00:24:22.980 With more coming this week,

00:24:23.980 more than likely out of Atlanta.

00:24:25.100 I expect this week

00:24:26.780 we will be talking about

00:24:27.760 indictment number four

00:24:28.660 of Donald Trump.

00:24:29.460 Every time something bad

00:24:30.420 comes out about the Bidens,

00:24:32.120 they indict Trump again.

00:24:33.900 Look, Catherine Herridge on CBS,

00:24:36.000 I want to give her a shout out. 0.92

00:24:37.220 She is about the only reporter,

00:24:39.420 I think, in the entirety

00:24:40.820 of the corporate media

00:24:42.820 who is covering this.

00:24:44.160 So that is significant.

00:24:45.820 And she's acknowledging,

00:24:47.100 she acknowledged rightly,

00:24:48.540 that this naming Weiss

00:24:50.660 as special counsel

00:24:51.380 is going to delay everything.

00:24:52.680 Turley said the same thing.

00:24:53.860 They're both exactly right.

00:24:55.900 And that is not a bug.

00:24:57.540 It's a feature.

00:24:58.420 It's the entire point.

00:25:00.280 And it was striking

00:25:01.440 when Merrick Garland

00:25:02.780 made this announcement,

00:25:04.000 he took zero questions.

00:25:05.880 Yeah.

00:25:06.480 Just made the announcement

00:25:07.260 and walk off the stage.

00:25:08.240 The appointment's illegal,

00:25:09.620 but you know how you don't

00:25:10.320 get questioned

00:25:10.860 on an illegal appointment?

00:25:12.200 You don't take questions.

00:25:13.960 I am the king

00:25:14.980 and the king can do no wrong.

00:25:17.100 That is Joe Biden's view.

00:25:18.480 That is Merrick Garland's view.

00:25:20.120 It's good to be the king.

00:25:21.580 Screw the law.

00:25:22.500 That's how they are

00:25:23.360 approaching this

00:25:24.300 and there still

00:25:26.540 is not a single

00:25:27.180 Democrat who cares.

00:25:28.180 Final question on this

00:25:29.420 before we move to the border

00:25:30.420 and that is,

00:25:31.740 is there a chance

00:25:32.900 that having this

00:25:34.120 special prosecutor

00:25:34.960 appointed,

00:25:36.720 that it could actually

00:25:37.800 hurt us

00:25:38.520 from getting information

00:25:39.880 in Congress

00:25:40.960 with the investigation

00:25:42.200 that James Comer

00:25:43.260 is doing,

00:25:44.100 Jim Jordan is doing,

00:25:45.100 because they can say,

00:25:46.020 hey,

00:25:46.320 we got a special prosecutor

00:25:47.640 right now.

00:25:48.620 We can't answer

00:25:49.980 that question.

00:25:50.740 We can't talk about this.

00:25:52.080 I worry that this

00:25:52.960 actually can help them

00:25:53.840 protect themselves

00:25:54.840 from new intel

00:25:55.580 coming out in Congress.

00:25:57.000 Well, sure.

00:25:57.640 That's their intention.

00:26:00.740 We talked about

00:26:01.740 in the last podcast

00:26:02.920 how Comer intends

00:26:04.120 to subpoena

00:26:05.000 Hunter Biden

00:26:06.180 and presumably Joe Biden.

00:26:08.100 I don't think

00:26:08.540 either one of them

00:26:09.160 is going to testify

00:26:09.820 in the House

00:26:10.360 whether or not

00:26:10.880 you had a special counsel.

00:26:12.400 Hunter Biden

00:26:12.840 will plead the fifth.

00:26:14.220 No lawyer worth his salt

00:26:16.280 would let Hunter Biden

00:26:17.140 answer questions.

00:26:18.260 At this point,

00:26:18.980 the criminal liability

00:26:19.800 Hunter Biden is facing

00:26:20.700 is significant.

00:26:22.540 Joe Biden,

00:26:23.680 he isn't going to do it.

00:26:24.780 He's going to scream malarkey

00:26:26.200 and refuse to come.

00:26:28.500 That was true

00:26:29.380 regardless of whether

00:26:30.500 or not Weiss

00:26:31.760 was named special counsel.

00:26:33.100 The person

00:26:33.660 who this does the most

00:26:36.080 to decrease the chances

00:26:37.120 that he testifies

00:26:37.940 is David Weiss

00:26:38.640 because David Weiss

00:26:40.380 is the most important witness

00:26:42.320 against Merrick Garland

00:26:43.700 for Merrick Garland's

00:26:45.140 potential lying under oath

00:26:46.700 and obstruction of justice.

00:26:47.780 So they now have

00:26:49.340 an excuse to say,

00:26:50.320 no, we won't give you

00:26:51.020 David Weiss

00:26:51.540 which protects Merrick Garland.

00:26:53.460 I think that was

00:26:53.980 a big part of it.

00:26:55.280 I think part of it

00:26:56.200 was Merrick Garland

00:26:57.020 protecting his own rear end

00:26:58.380 and part of it

00:26:59.880 was Garland wanting

00:27:00.780 to do something

00:27:01.500 that seems tough

00:27:02.720 that in fact

00:27:04.580 will continue

00:27:05.500 to obstruct

00:27:06.360 the investigation

00:27:07.400 into Hunter

00:27:08.760 and Joe Biden.

00:27:10.520 Additional witnesses,

00:27:12.560 Congress will continue

00:27:14.380 to investigate.

00:27:15.940 The House has been

00:27:16.540 the only place

00:27:17.240 we've made progress

00:27:18.300 on this issue.

00:27:19.500 I expect them to continue

00:27:20.560 issue subpoenas.

00:27:21.580 I expect if witnesses

00:27:22.680 refuse to respond

00:27:24.380 to the subpoenas

00:27:25.040 that the House

00:27:25.600 will vote to hold them

00:27:26.520 into contempt.

00:27:27.660 And then I expect

00:27:28.760 Merrick Garland

00:27:29.660 at the Department of Justice

00:27:30.620 to refuse to prosecute

00:27:31.860 those contempt holdings

00:27:33.680 because Merrick Garland

00:27:34.940 wants nobody

00:27:35.780 to testify to Congress

00:27:36.920 because he wants

00:27:37.960 this information covered up.

00:27:39.260 Merrick Garland's

00:27:42.040 behavior as Attorney General

00:27:43.220 is making John Mitchell

00:27:44.480 roll over in his grave

00:27:45.680 and John Mitchell

00:27:46.440 was Nixon's

00:27:47.200 corrupt Attorney General

00:27:48.240 who served 22 months

00:27:49.800 in jail

00:27:50.360 and Garland's comment

00:27:51.980 is more lawless

00:27:53.020 and more partisan

00:27:53.900 than John Mitchell

00:27:54.620 ever was.

00:27:55.340 Chances this is wrapped up

00:27:57.220 before Election Day,

00:27:58.940 general election

00:27:59.780 next year?

00:28:00.480 Zero.

00:28:01.460 So you have no doubt

00:28:02.580 this is going to still

00:28:03.460 be going on?

00:28:04.460 That's why you appoint

00:28:05.900 David Weiss

00:28:06.440 Special Counsel.

00:28:07.140 Canadian women

00:28:33.400 Listen to the Honest Talk Podcast

00:28:34.640 on iHeart Radio

00:28:35.720 or wherever you listen

00:28:36.760 to your podcasts.

00:28:39.000 I want to tell you

00:28:39.760 about our friends

00:28:40.160 at Patriot Mobile.

00:28:41.020 If you are like me

00:28:41.980 and you're sick and tired

00:28:42.860 of giving your money

00:28:43.500 to woke companies

00:28:44.340 that are fighting

00:28:45.440 against your values,

00:28:46.460 you now have a choice

00:28:47.320 with your cell phone.

00:28:48.160 99% of you have a cell phone.

00:28:50.260 How would you like to know

00:28:51.200 that you get amazing coverage,

00:28:52.740 nationwide coverage,

00:28:54.120 and it's the best coverage

00:28:56.180 in your area.

00:28:57.480 And when you pay your bill,

00:28:59.160 you are actually supporting

00:29:00.620 conservative causes.

00:29:01.620 That is exactly

00:29:02.620 what Patriot Mobile does.

00:29:04.480 Now, if you haven't switched

00:29:06.300 to Patriot Mobile,

00:29:07.100 you need to check them out

00:29:08.100 because not only do you usually

00:29:09.180 save real money every month,

00:29:10.840 but they're supporting

00:29:11.820 your First and your

00:29:12.760 Second Amendment rights,

00:29:13.760 the rights of unborn children.

00:29:15.220 They're supporting

00:29:15.700 our veterans,

00:29:16.840 our first responders,

00:29:17.960 our heroes

00:29:18.500 that have fought

00:29:18.920 for this country.

00:29:20.000 This is a company

00:29:21.300 that when you pay your bill,

00:29:22.580 you know you're standing up

00:29:23.880 for what you believe in.

00:29:25.280 They take a portion

00:29:26.300 of your bill every month

00:29:27.400 and they give it back

00:29:28.740 to these causes

00:29:29.520 at no extra cost to you.

00:29:31.320 So, stop sending your money

00:29:33.680 to woke companies

00:29:34.860 that are fighting

00:29:35.460 against your values.

00:29:37.200 Many big mobile companies

00:29:39.100 are giving money

00:29:39.920 to Planned Parenthood.

00:30:11.640 Center, I want to move

00:30:12.280 to the border.

00:30:12.980 There was a shocking picture

00:30:14.280 and I want to put it up

00:30:15.120 of our men coming across

00:30:17.400 the border caught on camera

00:30:19.460 this past week

00:30:21.740 and this is now

00:30:23.700 where we are with the border.

00:30:25.040 Now, this is what we've seen,

00:30:27.080 what you've seen for years,

00:30:28.700 what we've witnessed for years.

00:30:30.740 But what's happening now

00:30:32.200 is Democrats are coming out.

00:30:34.780 Mayor Adams in New York,

00:30:36.260 another state in this country,

00:30:37.720 declared a state of emergency

00:30:38.760 and all of a sudden

00:30:40.140 sending migrants 1.00

00:30:41.240 around the country

00:30:42.100 to blue states

00:30:42.760 is having a big impact

00:30:44.020 on them saying,

00:30:44.680 hey, this is out of control

00:30:46.400 and I would say

00:30:47.000 welcome to Texas.

00:30:48.400 Well, this is a photograph

00:30:49.640 of two men

00:30:50.680 coming across the border illegally.

00:30:53.360 They are both carrying weapons

00:30:55.400 that appear to be,

00:30:56.500 they may be machine guns,

00:30:57.620 it's hard to tell

00:30:58.380 from the granularity

00:30:59.200 of the picture

00:30:59.580 whether they're machine guns

00:31:00.800 or whether they're semi-automatic

00:31:02.580 but they are serious weapons

00:31:04.760 crossing the border illegally.

00:31:06.900 They are heavily armed men

00:31:08.300 and I got to say

00:31:09.640 for all the Democrats

00:31:10.920 in the corporate media,

00:31:11.980 how do you not call this

00:31:12.960 an invasion?

00:31:13.980 When you literally have armed men

00:31:15.400 coming across the border,

00:31:17.060 we don't know

00:31:17.640 if these individuals

00:31:18.460 are sicarios,

00:31:19.360 if they're hit men

00:31:20.120 for the cartels.

00:31:21.600 We don't know

00:31:22.020 if they're just human traffickers

00:31:23.460 who are heavily armed 1.00

00:31:24.700 and dumb enough 1.00

00:31:25.220 to get photographed. 1.00

00:31:26.320 We do know

00:31:27.220 that we are facing

00:31:28.320 the worst illegal immigration 1.00

00:31:31.280 in the history of our nation,

00:31:32.800 more than 7 million people

00:31:34.160 have crossed illegally

00:31:34.940 under Joe Biden

00:31:35.800 and Joe Biden wants these men

00:31:37.660 coming into your community.

00:31:39.180 You mentioned the hit men

00:31:40.040 and I think we should expand

00:31:41.020 on that for a moment

00:31:41.680 because I don't think

00:31:42.400 people realize what's happening.

00:31:43.960 There are enforcers

00:31:45.020 that are coming into America 0.99

00:31:46.280 from the cartels

00:31:47.320 that are coming across the border

00:31:48.580 and when there's people

00:31:49.800 that haven't paid them,

00:31:51.320 there's family members

00:31:52.180 that came across

00:31:52.980 and they haven't done

00:31:53.860 their obligations.

00:31:55.540 They will come in 0.99

00:31:56.580 and go after them

00:31:57.540 either to shake them down

00:31:58.740 for the money they're owed 1.00

00:31:59.540 or even kill them. 0.98

00:32:01.060 There's also, 0.81

00:32:01.640 there's people that try

00:32:02.280 to get out of the drug trade

00:32:03.260 or the human trafficking trade

00:32:04.360 that owe them

00:32:04.980 and that's how they're

00:32:05.440 paying off their debt.

00:32:06.460 They come in as enforcers

00:32:07.900 and they send a clear message.

00:32:09.960 That is part of what's coming

00:32:11.380 across the border

00:32:12.080 that no one seems

00:32:12.980 to want to talk about.

00:32:14.260 The crime,

00:32:15.280 the lawlessness,

00:32:16.220 the murder,

00:32:17.060 the brutalization

00:32:18.340 that has happened

00:32:19.100 because of this

00:32:19.960 Biden border crisis

00:32:21.840 is truly horrific.

00:32:24.920 853 migrants died last year

00:32:26.820 crossing illegally.

00:32:28.760 Tens of thousands of children

00:32:30.320 were brutalized

00:32:31.180 crossing illegally,

00:32:32.220 physically assaulted, 0.98

00:32:33.140 sexually assaulted. 0.62

00:32:34.440 Tens of thousands of women

00:32:35.900 were brutalized,

00:32:37.680 sexually assaulted, 0.92

00:32:38.740 crossing illegally.

00:32:40.460 Over 100,000 people died last year

00:32:45.120 of drug overdoses,

00:32:46.400 two-thirds of which

00:32:47.200 was illegal Chinese fentanyl

00:32:48.960 flooding across the border

00:32:50.320 and all of that

00:32:51.880 is enforced through fear,

00:32:53.740 through violence,

00:32:55.140 through vicious drug cartels.

00:32:57.400 We've talked before

00:32:58.360 about the bracelets

00:32:59.700 that the migrants wear. 0.98

00:33:01.260 The bracelets are color-coded

00:33:02.560 for how many thousands of dollars

00:33:04.160 they owe the cartels.

00:33:05.480 And Mayarkas said

00:33:06.280 he didn't even know

00:33:06.780 what those were.

00:33:07.260 He had no idea.

00:33:08.420 He admitted

00:33:09.280 he doesn't care about

00:33:10.600 doing his job.

00:33:11.420 He's never apparently

00:33:12.200 been to the border

00:33:12.920 and looked down

00:33:13.640 because you see thousands

00:33:14.680 of those colored wristbands

00:33:17.000 in the grass

00:33:17.840 along the Rio Grande Valley.

00:33:19.660 I have a number of them

00:33:20.560 in my office

00:33:21.040 that I just picked up

00:33:22.020 from the grass right there.

00:33:23.880 He doesn't know

00:33:24.600 and they correspond

00:33:25.500 when they owe thousands

00:33:26.840 of dollars to the cartels.

00:33:28.840 It's men like that

00:33:29.800 that enforce

00:33:30.400 the thousands of dollars

00:33:31.440 and that threaten

00:33:32.100 to kill the families 1.00

00:33:33.740 of those migrants 1.00

00:33:34.600 if they don't pay

00:33:35.200 the money back.

00:33:35.960 This is a multi-billion dollar

00:33:38.880 criminal organization

00:33:40.500 that has been made rich,

00:33:42.700 has been empowered

00:33:43.640 by Joe Biden

00:33:44.520 and Kamala Harris

00:33:45.420 and every single

00:33:46.760 congressional Democrat

00:33:47.840 who has facilitated

00:33:49.360 this lawless open borders.

00:33:50.840 I had to almost laugh

00:33:52.300 over the last 10 days

00:33:53.420 at what's been happening

00:33:54.780 with Democratic leaders.

00:33:56.240 One of them

00:33:56.760 is the Massachusetts governor

00:33:57.800 who came out

00:33:58.580 earlier this week

00:33:59.600 citing an influx

00:34:00.660 of just 20,000

00:34:02.240 illegal immigrants

00:34:03.060 into the state

00:34:03.940 saying that this is up

00:34:05.840 from the 3,100 families

00:34:07.360 a year ago

00:34:08.020 which amounts

00:34:08.520 to an 80% increase

00:34:09.920 and now has declared

00:34:11.200 a state of emergency

00:34:12.120 begging for federal funds

00:34:13.580 because 20,000

00:34:14.720 illegal immigrants

00:34:15.520 in the entire state

00:34:16.620 in Texas

00:34:18.160 that's like

00:34:18.720 can be a day or two.

00:34:20.100 Yeah. 0.74

00:34:20.460 So the utter hypocrisy 0.99

00:34:22.380 of Democrats 0.98

00:34:22.980 has now gotten

00:34:24.160 blindingly obvious.

00:34:27.240 We have had emergencies

00:34:28.560 declared in the state

00:34:29.540 of Massachusetts

00:34:30.000 by the governor,

00:34:31.120 in the state of New York

00:34:32.400 by the governor,

00:34:33.200 in the city of New York

00:34:34.380 by the mayor,

00:34:35.180 in the city of Chicago

00:34:36.480 by the mayor

00:34:37.200 and every one of them

00:34:38.920 and in Martha's Vineyard

00:34:39.820 by the way

00:34:40.300 all of them

00:34:40.960 have declared emergencies

00:34:41.940 and if you want

00:34:42.760 to go through

00:34:43.300 I want to take a minute

00:34:44.860 and actually focus

00:34:45.620 on this

00:34:46.140 and quantify

00:34:47.060 A, the hypocrisy 0.99

00:34:49.720 of all of these Democrats 0.99

00:34:50.980 but B, the point you made

00:34:52.600 I want to quantify it

00:34:53.780 the comparative difference

00:34:55.460 between these blue cities

00:34:56.820 and blue states

00:34:58.340 and Texas.

00:34:59.080 So let's start

00:35:00.280 with Mayor Adams

00:35:01.640 and what he tweeted out

00:35:02.760 right when he was coming in.

00:35:04.640 Okay, so this is

00:35:05.240 October 20th, 2021.

00:35:07.560 We should protect

00:35:09.020 our immigrants, period.

00:35:11.060 Yes, New York City

00:35:12.400 will remain a sanctuary city

00:35:13.860 under an Adams administration.

00:35:16.420 Hashtag, I love this,

00:35:17.480 Eric on NBC.

00:35:18.660 Like, promoting his time

00:35:20.500 on TV while pushing this.

00:35:22.760 Well, and to be clear,

00:35:23.900 NBC is a wholly owned

00:35:25.040 subsidiary of the DNC

00:35:26.500 and so it's understandable

00:35:28.260 that he's promoting NBC

00:35:29.360 because he knows NBC

00:35:30.400 will promote

00:35:31.140 his partisan propaganda

00:35:32.520 every single day.

00:35:34.280 All right, so that's what he said.

00:35:35.460 New York City

00:35:36.640 will remain a sanctuary city.

00:35:38.100 Well, now fast forward

00:35:39.140 to what's happened

00:35:40.320 to New York City.

00:35:41.220 Let's listen to him

00:35:41.980 more recently.

00:35:43.180 We are past

00:35:44.320 our breaking point.

00:35:46.780 New Yorker's compassion

00:35:48.480 may be limitless

00:35:49.620 but our resources are not.

00:35:51.700 We expect to have

00:35:52.760 more than 100,000

00:35:55.200 asylum seekers

00:35:56.280 in our care

00:35:57.300 by the end of June 2025.

00:36:00.200 We're also asking

00:36:01.220 the federal government

00:36:02.000 to declare

00:36:02.680 a state of emergency.

00:36:04.220 This will allow

00:36:05.780 federal funds

00:36:06.640 to be allocated quickly

00:36:08.080 to help address

00:36:09.180 the urgent challenges

00:36:10.720 we face.

00:36:11.940 If we don't get

00:36:12.700 the support we need,

00:36:14.380 New Yorkers could be left

00:36:15.580 with a $12 billion bill.

00:36:20.180 If they care that much

00:36:21.300 about the money,

00:36:21.940 the $12 billion

00:36:22.480 as you mentioned there,

00:36:23.760 like this could be

00:36:24.360 a $12 billion bill.

00:36:25.600 Well, if it's federal funds,

00:36:26.960 it's still a bill

00:36:27.640 on the American people

00:36:28.640 and the American taxpayer.

00:36:29.800 Now all of a sudden

00:36:30.400 they're worried

00:36:30.720 about the money

00:36:31.280 they're spending on this.

00:36:32.280 So I want to lay out

00:36:34.460 and go through

00:36:34.900 the math on this.

00:36:36.800 So New York City,

00:36:37.780 what Mayor Adams said

00:36:38.960 is that they could face

00:36:40.940 100,000 or more

00:36:42.420 illegal immigrants

00:36:43.160 in New York.

00:36:43.840 Now 100,000

00:36:44.520 illegal immigrants,

00:36:45.820 according to the

00:36:46.260 U.S. Census Bureau

00:36:47.760 estimates for 2022,

00:36:49.380 New York City

00:36:49.900 has a total

00:36:50.520 of 8,335,897 residents.

00:36:55.040 So 100,000

00:36:55.840 illegal immigrants

00:36:56.640 out of 8.3 million

00:36:58.360 is 1.1% of the city.

00:37:01.320 So 1.1% of the city

00:37:03.220 of illegal immigrants 0.94

00:37:04.120 is an emergency

00:37:05.440 which he's declared

00:37:06.400 and by the way

00:37:07.100 he declared an emergency

00:37:08.120 on October 7, 2022

00:37:09.600 and then on May 9, 2023

00:37:11.900 Governor Hotchul

00:37:13.560 declared a statewide emergency

00:37:16.480 because of the just over

00:37:18.360 1% of illegal immigrants

00:37:19.800 in New York City.

00:37:21.300 Now, New York is not alone.

00:37:24.340 Chicago.

00:37:24.760 Chicago has received

00:37:28.780 just over 12,000

00:37:31.280 illegal immigrants

00:37:32.000 in the last 11 months.

00:37:34.440 According to the U.S. Census Bureau,

00:37:36.360 Chicago has 2,746,388 residents.

00:37:40.400 Doing some quick math,

00:37:42.240 that means the 12,000 people

00:37:43.980 is 0.4% of the population

00:37:47.540 of Chicago.

00:37:48.120 So less than 1%,

00:37:49.220 less than half a percent.

00:37:50.560 It is 0.4%.

00:37:52.260 And yet on May 9, 2023

00:37:54.500 then Mayor Lightfoot

00:37:55.840 declared an emergency.

00:37:57.560 So less than half a percent

00:37:59.580 in Chicago

00:38:00.400 is an emergency.

00:38:02.620 1.1%

00:38:04.120 in New York City

00:38:05.700 is an emergency.

00:38:06.560 By the way, Boston.

00:38:08.380 Boston has had

00:38:09.580 more than 20,000 individuals

00:38:11.240 in the state shelter.

00:38:13.560 Boston's population

00:38:14.600 according to the census

00:38:15.520 in 2022

00:38:16.280 is 650,706.

00:38:19.280 So 20,000

00:38:20.380 is roughly 3%

00:38:21.600 of the population.

00:38:23.420 So Boston got it worse

00:38:24.420 than New York.

00:38:25.000 Yeah.

00:38:25.400 About 3x,

00:38:26.380 about 6x

00:38:27.480 Chicago.

00:38:29.280 And what did the left-wing

00:38:31.260 governor of Massachusetts do?

00:38:33.140 Who, by the way,

00:38:33.740 campaigned on saying

00:38:34.600 Boston and Massachusetts

00:38:35.880 will be sanctuary cities

00:38:36.920 in a sanctuary state.

00:38:38.280 She declared an emergency.

00:38:40.280 Now, I want to compare that

00:38:42.020 to Texas.

00:38:43.560 El Paso.

00:38:46.740 City of El Paso

00:38:48.100 has a population

00:38:49.200 according to the census

00:38:50.060 of 687,000.

00:38:52.720 El Paso recorded

00:38:54.360 26,067 illegal immigrants

00:38:57.120 in May of 2023.

00:39:00.660 In one month.

00:39:01.380 Yeah.

00:39:02.280 26,000.

00:39:03.480 By the way,

00:39:04.200 for fiscal year 22,

00:39:06.040 El Paso had

00:39:06.780 204,034 illegal immigrants.

00:39:11.580 What does that work out to?

00:39:12.640 34% of the population

00:39:15.440 of El Paso

00:39:16.320 in one year.

00:39:17.700 Mind you,

00:39:19.560 according to New York,

00:39:20.380 1% is a crisis.

00:39:21.600 According to Chicago,

00:39:22.560 less than half a percent

00:39:23.460 is a crisis.

00:39:24.580 El Paso has had

00:39:25.600 34%.

00:39:27.680 How about

00:39:28.740 Laredo?

00:39:31.600 Laredo.

00:39:33.820 Population is

00:39:34.540 255,205.

00:39:36.680 In fiscal year 2022,

00:39:37.840 there were 87,600

00:39:39.560 alien encounters

00:39:40.420 in the Laredo sector.

00:39:41.920 What is that?

00:39:42.640 34% of Laredo.

00:39:44.480 How about the Rio Grande Valley?

00:39:46.200 Rio Grande Valley.

00:39:47.940 Population of the Rio Grande Valley

00:39:49.440 is 1,291,798.

00:39:52.860 In fiscal year 2022,

00:39:56.980 there were 377,970

00:40:02.440 encounters with illegal aliens.

00:40:05.500 That is 29%.

00:40:08.060 Yeah.

00:40:09.980 Left-wing mayors,

00:40:11.260 left-wing governors,

00:40:12.040 say 1%

00:40:13.220 is a crisis.

00:40:16.280 We've got cities

00:40:17.740 throughout South Texas

00:40:19.020 where it's

00:40:19.920 30,

00:40:21.220 35,

00:40:22.140 34,

00:40:22.660 35%.

00:40:23.400 And let me give you

00:40:24.800 the cherry on top.

00:40:26.980 You want to understand

00:40:28.300 this issue

00:40:29.360 perfectly.

00:40:30.480 I want to contrast

00:40:31.620 two dramatically

00:40:32.940 different communities

00:40:33.720 about the same size.

00:40:36.000 Martha's Vineyard

00:40:36.720 and Del Rio.

00:40:39.520 So,

00:40:40.440 Martha's Vineyard

00:40:41.220 Martha's Vineyard

00:40:43.460 has a population

00:40:44.400 where

00:40:45.020 in the wintertime

00:40:46.480 when it's in low season,

00:40:47.640 its population

00:40:48.200 is about 16,000.

00:40:50.760 In the summertime,

00:40:51.940 in high season,

00:40:52.700 when people like

00:40:53.460 Barack Obama

00:40:54.160 and Michelle Obama

00:40:55.060 and rich liberals

00:40:55.740 go out there,

00:40:56.860 the population

00:40:57.700 soars to about 200,000.

00:40:59.420 So,

00:40:59.600 it varies widely

00:41:00.540 depending on the season.

00:41:03.160 Ron DeSantis

00:41:03.720 sent 50,

00:41:05.340 5-0

00:41:05.980 illegal immigrants

00:41:06.820 to Martha's Vineyard.

00:41:07.860 Now,

00:41:08.020 mind you,

00:41:08.360 a year before Ron

00:41:09.060 did that,

00:41:10.200 I had filed

00:41:10.880 legislation

00:41:11.500 proposing that

00:41:12.160 we send

00:41:12.500 illegal immigrants

00:41:13.200 to Martha's Vineyard

00:41:14.520 and Nantucket

00:41:15.380 and Palo Alto

00:41:16.680 and the Hamptons

00:41:17.780 and all the fancy

00:41:18.460 places rich liberals

00:41:19.340 go.

00:41:20.400 The county executive

00:41:21.620 in Martha's Vineyard

00:41:22.380 when I filed

00:41:22.940 my legislation

00:41:23.600 said we would

00:41:24.460 welcome

00:41:25.160 illegal immigrants

00:41:25.920 here with open arms.

00:41:27.120 Yeah.

00:41:27.420 Cruz does not

00:41:28.280 understand

00:41:29.120 what's happening

00:41:30.280 at the border.

00:41:30.880 He doesn't understand

00:41:31.620 illegal immigration.

00:41:32.600 Well,

00:41:33.180 DeSantis sent 50,

00:41:34.320 5-0.

00:41:36.120 Within 24 hours,

00:41:37.740 Martha's Vineyard

00:41:38.340 declared an emergency.

00:41:39.560 50.

00:41:40.260 Now,

00:41:40.520 let's do the math.

00:41:42.560 At their low point,

00:41:43.880 in other words,

00:41:44.460 when all the rich liberals

00:41:45.340 go home

00:41:45.860 and it's just the sort

00:41:47.080 of serving class

00:41:47.920 who are mowing the lawn

00:41:48.720 and cleaning the estates,

00:41:51.460 when it just has 16,000,

00:41:53.880 50 people is 0.3%,

00:41:56.340 so less than half a percent.

00:41:59.720 When Martha's Vineyard

00:42:00.900 is flush with liberals,

00:42:02.200 50 people

00:42:04.500 is 0.025%,

00:42:09.180 so it's less than 1%,

00:42:10.860 it's less than a half a percent,

00:42:12.660 it's less than a tenth of a percent,

00:42:14.440 it is one quarter

00:42:15.540 of one tenth of a percent.

00:42:18.220 That,

00:42:18.920 in Martha's Vineyard,

00:42:19.840 is an emergency.

00:42:21.720 Now,

00:42:21.960 let's contrast it

00:42:22.840 to a city

00:42:23.200 about the same size.

00:42:26.080 Del Rio.

00:42:27.920 Del Rio

00:42:28.680 has a population

00:42:29.720 of about

00:42:30.500 34,500.

00:42:32.900 Small town.

00:42:33.680 It's a very small town.

00:42:37.400 In June of 2023,

00:42:39.960 one month,

00:42:41.580 Del Rio

00:42:42.020 saw 29,941

00:42:44.380 alien encounters.

00:42:45.920 In other words,

00:42:46.340 the entire population

00:42:47.320 of the city

00:42:48.060 in one month.

00:42:50.440 In fiscal year 2022,

00:42:53.180 the number of alien encounters

00:42:55.240 in Del Rio

00:42:56.720 was 480,000.

00:43:00.620 That is

00:43:02.060 1,400%

00:43:06.100 of the population

00:43:07.720 of the city.

00:43:08.780 In New York,

00:43:10.000 1% is a crisis.

00:43:11.360 In Chicago,

00:43:12.100 a half percent

00:43:12.780 is a crisis.

00:43:13.880 Del Rio, Texas,

00:43:14.900 which is not a wealthy city,

00:43:16.300 it is a poor city

00:43:17.380 on the Rio Grande Valley,

00:43:18.820 had 1,400%

00:43:21.160 of the population

00:43:21.980 of their town

00:43:22.640 come through illegally

00:43:23.960 because of Joe Biden,

00:43:25.140 and the Democrats

00:43:26.440 all say

00:43:27.140 no crisis at all.

00:43:29.000 Well, I'll tell you 0.96

00:43:29.740 how ridiculous 0.99

00:43:30.340 the hypocrisy is. 0.98

00:43:32.040 I want you to listen

00:43:33.160 to Chuck Todd

00:43:33.980 on NBC.

00:43:35.240 Yeah.

00:43:35.620 Eric Adams

00:43:36.300 points out

00:43:37.080 NBC is his

00:43:38.520 captive propaganda network.

00:43:40.180 Well, listen to what

00:43:40.840 Chuck Todd

00:43:41.420 was forced to admit.

00:43:42.840 Coming up,

00:43:43.440 New York City's

00:43:44.960 growing humanitarian crisis.

00:43:46.280 The shelter system

00:43:47.040 slammed by an influx

00:43:48.460 of migrants.

00:43:49.980 New calls

00:43:50.460 for federal help.

00:43:52.000 I guess Greg Abbott

00:43:53.020 was right.

00:43:54.100 He said,

00:43:54.860 once he got

00:43:55.520 blue cities

00:43:56.220 to deal with this,

00:43:57.360 that they would be

00:43:58.140 very upset

00:43:59.820 at the federal government.

00:44:00.660 You're watching

00:44:00.880 the press now.

00:44:02.080 Which really means

00:44:02.740 the Biden administration.

00:44:04.040 He says federal government,

00:44:05.620 no, they're mad

00:44:06.200 at the White House

00:44:06.740 because the White House's

00:44:07.600 policy that's allowed

00:44:08.560 for this open border.

00:44:09.440 They changed everything

00:44:10.260 that was working

00:44:10.780 the day they got into office,

00:44:12.500 January 20th

00:44:13.340 of the first year

00:44:14.040 of Joe Biden's presidency,

00:44:15.140 and they never looked back

00:44:15.920 from that time.

00:44:16.660 And by the way,

00:44:17.420 it's worth noting

00:44:18.220 that the mayor of New York

00:44:20.300 the mayor of Chicago,

00:44:22.040 the mayor of D.C.,

00:44:23.160 the mayor of Boston,

00:44:24.460 the mayor of San Francisco,

00:44:25.840 they're not asking Biden

00:44:27.900 to secure the border.

00:44:29.300 They're asking for more money.

00:44:30.200 They're just saying,

00:44:30.640 give me money.

00:44:31.140 Yeah.

00:44:31.900 They actually agree

00:44:33.260 with the political objective

00:44:34.600 of let tens of millions

00:44:35.920 of people in illegally

00:44:37.060 because they look

00:44:38.600 at those illegal immigrants 1.00

00:44:39.600 and they say,

00:44:40.320 ooh, future Democrats,

00:44:41.360 we want them.

00:44:42.560 They just would prefer them

00:44:43.920 not to come to their city,

00:44:45.020 send them elsewhere,

00:44:46.700 make other people pay for them,

00:44:48.400 and they said,

00:44:49.200 would you please send us

00:44:50.200 billions of dollars?

00:44:51.060 By the way,

00:44:51.720 who's sending billions

00:44:52.660 of dollars to Del Rio?

00:44:53.880 Yeah.

00:44:54.400 But do they care about that?

00:44:56.160 No.

00:44:56.500 No.

00:44:56.880 It is caused

00:44:58.060 not just by Joe Biden,

00:45:01.260 not just by Kamala Harris.

00:45:03.200 If Eric Adams

00:45:03.700 wants to yell at someone,

00:45:04.720 how about Chuck Schumer?

00:45:05.460 He lives in your city.

00:45:07.560 Chuck Schumer

00:45:08.240 blocks every single effort

00:45:10.460 to secure the border.

00:45:11.860 Chuck Schumer

00:45:12.320 is directly responsible.

00:45:13.700 Send the bill to Chuck.

00:45:15.020 Chuck ought to pay for it,

00:45:15.900 $12 billion.

00:45:17.220 You know,

00:45:17.640 Chuck can probably get

00:45:18.880 Hunter and Joe

00:45:20.160 to shake down

00:45:20.760 some Ukrainians

00:45:21.520 and they'll pay for it for them.

00:45:22.660 Or they'll end up

00:45:23.480 going to a hotel

00:45:24.120 that's owned by some oligarch

00:45:25.280 in some other country

00:45:26.040 right now

00:45:26.380 that they own

00:45:26.760 in New York City.

00:45:27.760 No matter how bad it gets,

00:45:30.380 the Democrats

00:45:30.980 put partisanship above.

00:45:33.140 They don't care about

00:45:34.300 the people

00:45:34.780 who are brutalized.

00:45:35.940 When you see,

00:45:37.740 look,

00:45:38.200 in Texas,

00:45:38.820 we've got a whole stream

00:45:40.100 of Democrats

00:45:40.660 who are suddenly

00:45:41.200 running down to the border.

00:45:42.560 First time in two and a half years

00:45:43.580 they've gone down

00:45:44.040 to the border.

00:45:44.560 Why?

00:45:45.140 Because Governor Greg Abbott

00:45:46.320 put buoys up

00:45:47.260 and suddenly they're out

00:45:48.480 showing their enormous care

00:45:51.360 not for the 853 migrants 1.00

00:45:52.940 who died in the last year

00:45:53.920 crossing illegally,

00:45:54.860 not for the tens of thousands

00:45:56.180 of children brutalized

00:45:57.180 by the cartels,

00:45:57.980 not for the tens of thousands

00:45:58.980 of women raped

00:46:00.200 by the cartels,

00:46:01.260 not for the 100,000 people

00:46:02.560 who died of drug overdoses.

00:46:04.060 Nope.

00:46:04.860 They're mad

00:46:05.420 because the buoys there,

00:46:07.320 that might be risky

00:46:08.660 and that means Abbott

00:46:09.640 is responsible

00:46:10.380 if something happens

00:46:11.240 in the buoys.

00:46:11.700 They do not care

00:46:13.000 about the human suffering

00:46:14.320 their policies cause.

00:46:15.760 It is only politics

00:46:17.420 all the time

00:46:18.180 for Democrats

00:46:18.860 and it's disgraceful.

00:47:15.140 There's one other aspect

00:47:16.440 of this at the border

00:47:17.220 as well, Senator,

00:47:18.080 that I think has to be

00:47:18.880 talked about,

00:47:19.420 and that is

00:47:19.900 when Greg Abbott

00:47:21.520 and you were another

00:47:22.480 one of those

00:47:22.960 that was out there

00:47:23.540 on the federal level

00:47:24.300 saying,

00:47:25.640 we're going to put

00:47:26.460 people on buses

00:47:27.560 and send them

00:47:28.380 to these places

00:47:29.260 like Martha's Vineyard,

00:47:30.600 they referred to it

00:47:32.100 as a stunt.

00:47:33.260 Yep.

00:47:33.800 And they said

00:47:34.700 that this is inhumane,

00:47:35.880 it's a stunt,

00:47:36.640 and we said,

00:47:37.240 no, we're just going to,

00:47:38.060 you want to be

00:47:38.820 a welcoming city,

00:47:40.100 you want to be

00:47:40.840 an open city,

00:47:41.740 like Mayor Adams'

00:47:42.720 tweet was out there

00:47:43.420 that he put out there,

00:47:44.280 and we said,

00:47:45.120 okay, we will send you

00:47:46.480 busloads of illegal immigrants 0.91

00:47:47.980 that we're dealing with

00:47:48.780 in Texas every single day.

00:47:50.340 And they said

00:47:51.080 it was a stunt,

00:47:51.700 and guess what?

00:47:52.440 It clearly now worked

00:47:54.320 because these mayors

00:47:56.120 are terrified

00:47:56.820 and these governors

00:47:57.720 are terrified

00:47:58.340 they, A,

00:47:59.300 can't handle the problem,

00:48:01.000 and B,

00:48:01.500 they're afraid

00:48:01.860 they're going to run

00:48:02.360 out of money

00:48:02.740 if they don't get more

00:48:03.400 from the federal government.

00:48:05.000 When you look at it

00:48:06.000 from that perspective,

00:48:07.860 how right was Texas

00:48:08.980 to say,

00:48:09.820 here's part of our problem,

00:48:11.340 enjoy it?

00:48:13.080 Unquestionably right,

00:48:14.000 and let's just contrast

00:48:15.560 the utter hypocrisy 1.00

00:48:17.500 of these elected Democrats. 0.99

00:48:18.740 So I'm just going

00:48:19.780 to read their words

00:48:20.640 so you can assess

00:48:22.340 the difference.

00:48:22.900 All right,

00:48:23.540 Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass,

00:48:25.860 when she was running

00:48:26.680 for mayor

00:48:27.200 in October of 2022,

00:48:28.660 she answered questions

00:48:30.140 from a Latinx news outlet,

00:48:32.680 whatever the hell

00:48:33.280 a Latinx news outlet is.

00:48:35.240 Here's her quote.

00:48:36.520 Los Angeles is

00:48:37.320 and should remain

00:48:37.920 a sanctuary city,

00:48:38.900 and the LAPD

00:48:39.600 should not be burdened

00:48:40.880 with the federal government's

00:48:42.020 responsibility

00:48:42.580 to enforce immigration law.

00:48:44.580 I do not support

00:48:45.700 an ICE presence

00:48:46.540 in local state

00:48:47.880 correctional facilities,

00:48:49.000 nor do I support

00:48:49.920 ICE transfers

00:48:50.780 absent a judicial warrant.

00:48:53.960 Fast forward

00:48:54.680 to June of 23,

00:48:55.760 when Governor Abbott

00:48:57.000 sent 40,

00:48:58.640 4-0,

00:48:59.680 illegal immigrants

00:49:00.440 to L.A.

00:49:01.360 Mayor Bass

00:49:03.020 released a statement

00:49:03.780 that said,

00:49:04.340 quote,

00:49:05.160 it is abhorrent

00:49:06.080 that an American

00:49:07.120 elected official

00:49:07.840 is using human beings

00:49:09.020 as pawns

00:49:09.840 in cheap political games.

00:49:12.360 Here's Philadelphia Mayor

00:49:13.440 James Keeney.

00:49:15.120 June of 2018,

00:49:17.160 Keeney literally dances

00:49:18.640 in support

00:49:20.680 of a court ruling

00:49:21.500 in favor

00:49:22.040 of Philadelphia's

00:49:23.420 sanctuary city policies.

00:49:24.780 He said,

00:49:25.620 we are a sanctuary city.

00:49:28.620 Fast forward

00:49:29.200 to October 2022,

00:49:30.260 when Governor Abbott

00:49:31.220 sent 28

00:49:32.920 illegal immigrants

00:49:34.720 to Philadelphia.

00:49:35.460 Mind you,

00:49:36.120 Del Rio has had,

00:49:37.100 what,

00:49:37.220 400,

00:49:37.640 480,000?

00:49:39.140 Philadelphia got 28.

00:49:41.260 Here's what Mayor Keeney said.

00:49:43.580 Quote, 0.50

00:49:44.420 it is truly disgusting

00:49:45.880 to hear today

00:49:46.600 that Governor Abbott

00:49:47.400 and his administration

00:49:48.280 continue to implement

00:49:49.260 their purposefully

00:49:50.600 cruel policy

00:49:51.600 using immigrant families,

00:49:53.540 including women 0.69

00:49:54.100 and children,

00:49:54.660 as pawns

00:49:55.380 to shapelessly push

00:49:56.980 his warped

00:49:58.060 political agenda.

00:49:58.980 All right,

00:50:00.100 let's take Chicago.

00:50:02.340 Chicago Mayor

00:50:03.140 Brandon Johnson,

00:50:04.180 when he was running

00:50:04.780 for mayor

00:50:05.180 on his website,

00:50:06.040 he said,

00:50:06.520 quote,

00:50:07.500 Chicago is a sanctuary city.

00:50:10.000 As such,

00:50:10.760 we must always resist

00:50:11.760 attempts to pit

00:50:12.520 communities against each other

00:50:13.760 and extend the sanctuary promise

00:50:15.580 to everyone

00:50:16.960 who needs it

00:50:17.900 in our city,

00:50:18.940 both longtime residents

00:50:20.380 and newcomers alike.

00:50:22.220 Come to Chicago.

00:50:23.640 That's me.

00:50:24.320 Come on,

00:50:24.820 come all, right?

00:50:25.820 May of 2023,

00:50:26.820 Brandon Johnson

00:50:27.740 said this

00:50:28.300 about Republican governors

00:50:29.300 sending illegal immigrants 0.99

00:50:30.180 to Chicago.

00:50:31.220 Quote,

00:50:32.220 it's wicked.

00:50:33.780 It's unconscionable.

00:50:35.660 But as you know,

00:50:36.420 the city of Chicago

00:50:37.200 is coming together

00:50:37.900 to make sure

00:50:38.520 that people who wish

00:50:39.340 to find real comfort

00:50:40.940 here in the city of Chicago

00:50:42.120 that we provide that.

00:50:44.060 And let me just give you

00:50:44.740 one more.

00:50:45.660 San Francisco Mayor

00:50:46.480 London Breed.

00:50:47.620 So in July 13, 2020,

00:50:50.200 here's a press release

00:50:51.160 from Mayor Breed

00:50:52.420 on San Francisco

00:50:53.200 being a sanctuary city.

00:50:54.560 Quote,

00:50:54.840 here in San Francisco,

00:50:56.800 we will always demonstrate

00:50:57.820 our values of diversity

00:50:59.100 and inclusiveness

00:50:59.960 by being a sanctuary city

00:51:02.120 that stands up

00:51:02.980 for all of our residents

00:51:04.760 and neighbors.

00:51:05.840 The court ruling today

00:51:06.780 further validates

00:51:07.760 what we already know.

00:51:09.040 The Trump administration's

00:51:10.260 attempt to overreach

00:51:11.240 and bully San Francisco

00:51:12.560 into abandoning our values

00:51:14.480 and complying with unfair,

00:51:16.580 unjust immigration enforcement laws

00:51:19.000 is unconstitutional.

00:51:21.020 All right,

00:51:21.300 so that's in 2020.

00:51:22.700 Let's fast forward.

00:51:23.760 Oh, and also in 2020,

00:51:25.460 another quote from her is,

00:51:26.820 our sanctuary ordinance

00:51:28.060 makes our entire city safer.

00:51:32.080 Okay?

00:51:32.480 Safer.

00:51:33.000 Being a sanctuary city

00:51:34.100 makes San Francisco safer.

00:51:35.940 Two years later,

00:51:37.200 October 2022,

00:51:38.860 Mayor Breed

00:51:39.480 blames the drug crisis

00:51:41.480 in San Francisco

00:51:42.480 on illegal immigrants

00:51:43.860 coming from Honduras.

00:51:45.840 Here's her quote.

00:51:47.040 There are, unfortunately,

00:51:48.380 a lot of people

00:51:49.220 who come from

00:51:50.600 a particular country,

00:51:52.160 come from Honduras,

00:51:53.420 and a lot of people

00:51:54.780 who are dealing drugs

00:51:56.200 happen to be

00:51:57.580 of that ethnicity.

00:51:58.960 It is nothing

00:51:59.920 racial profile about this.

00:52:02.680 We all know it.

00:52:04.220 It's the reality.

00:52:05.940 It's what you see.

00:52:07.640 It's what's out there.

00:52:08.940 Those are quotes.

00:52:09.620 I'm not editorializing at all.

00:52:11.160 Can you imagine

00:52:11.180 if Republicans said that?

00:52:12.540 I am reading her words,

00:52:13.940 by the way,

00:52:15.040 then in May,

00:52:16.220 when she's talking about

00:52:17.340 the drug and fentanyl crisis

00:52:18.660 in San Francisco,

00:52:19.660 particularly in the

00:52:20.280 Tenderloin District,

00:52:21.840 here's what she said,

00:52:22.720 at the end of the day,

00:52:24.600 we can't keep

00:52:25.880 just throwing our hands up

00:52:27.400 and think all of a sudden

00:52:29.160 what we're doing

00:52:30.000 is working.

00:52:31.360 Compassion

00:52:31.920 is killing people.

00:52:34.300 And we have to push forth

00:52:36.280 some tough love

00:52:37.840 to change what's happening

00:52:39.980 on the streets

00:52:40.660 of San Francisco.

00:52:42.160 No kidding.

00:52:43.440 Yeah.

00:52:44.360 And you know what?

00:52:46.160 Let's see if the mayor

00:52:47.420 can use some rocket science

00:52:49.600 to figure out

00:52:50.560 whose policies it is

00:52:52.200 that has let

00:52:53.300 7 million people

00:52:54.260 into this country,

00:52:55.100 including drug dealers,

00:52:56.260 including gang members,

00:52:57.640 including criminals,

00:52:58.720 including people

00:52:59.500 who commit horrific crimes.

00:53:01.120 Let's see if any

00:53:02.080 of these Democrats

00:53:03.060 can figure out

00:53:04.120 what caused it

00:53:06.500 and if they dare

00:53:07.940 to admit it out loud.

00:53:08.880 I will end

00:53:09.680 with a brilliant

00:53:10.680 political commentator

00:53:11.920 that reminded America

00:53:13.560 this week

00:53:14.080 you shouldn't mess

00:53:15.100 with Texas

00:53:15.820 when it comes

00:53:16.840 to illegal immigration.

00:53:17.760 I remember when they said

00:53:19.440 that Greg Abbott

00:53:20.140 was doing a political stunt

00:53:21.360 by sending illegal immigrants 1.00

00:53:22.420 to places like New York.

00:53:24.020 I think it's pretty clear now

00:53:24.980 don't mess with Texas.

00:53:26.220 We've been dealing with this

00:53:27.280 and if you think

00:53:28.000 it's an emergency

00:53:28.660 now in New York,

00:53:29.980 come to Texas.

00:53:30.860 This is one one-thousandth

00:53:31.980 of what we deal with

00:53:32.660 every single day

00:53:33.760 and this idea

00:53:34.640 that if you just send money

00:53:35.920 that it's going to fix a problem.

00:53:37.440 You mentioned

00:53:37.680 I hope more money comes.

00:53:39.180 It's not a money issue.

00:53:40.320 You have to secure a border.

00:53:41.920 It doesn't matter

00:53:42.400 how much money you spend.

00:53:43.660 If you have an open border,

00:53:45.260 it's going to continue

00:53:46.220 to happen this way

00:53:46.960 all over the country.

00:53:48.240 I couldn't agree

00:53:48.980 with that guy more, Senator.

00:53:50.400 I mean, what a great point, right?

00:53:52.680 So let me say,

00:53:53.520 number one,

00:53:54.880 that's an awfully good-looking

00:53:56.880 political commentator.

00:53:58.160 Thank you.

00:53:58.680 Thank you.

00:53:59.080 Let me put that up again

00:54:00.540 and play like the first few seconds of it.

00:54:02.660 See, this is when I know

00:54:03.500 he's about to give me a hard time.

00:54:04.980 Greg Abbott was doing

00:54:05.900 a political stunt

00:54:06.620 by sending illegal immigrants. 0.88

00:54:07.440 Just pause right there.

00:54:09.300 All right.

00:54:10.060 Before I talk about

00:54:11.500 the wisdom

00:54:12.720 that is emanating,

00:54:14.220 I just want to talk

00:54:15.120 about the visual.

00:54:16.240 I'm ready.

00:54:16.960 That's my good blue suit there.

00:54:18.560 So look,

00:54:19.140 I'm the father

00:54:20.340 of two young daughters.

00:54:22.820 And I will say,

00:54:23.780 young girls everywhere

00:54:24.760 are told,

00:54:25.680 cross your legs

00:54:26.380 at your ankles.

00:54:27.920 And you notice

00:54:28.740 all the women there. 0.99

00:54:29.300 This is the last time

00:54:29.460 we ever play a clip

00:54:30.520 of me on this show.

00:54:31.380 All the women there 1.00

00:54:32.320 have their legs crossed

00:54:33.920 at their ankles

00:54:34.640 and with your boots,

00:54:36.100 you are being

00:54:36.780 a very dainty lady.

00:54:38.060 Yes, yes.

00:54:38.420 You're crossing your boots

00:54:39.320 at your ankles.

00:54:40.120 I'm just saying it's nice.

00:54:42.980 It's a good look.

00:54:44.400 Never again

00:54:44.980 am I playing a clip.

00:54:46.740 Don't mess with Texas.

00:54:47.840 Just remember that.

00:54:48.640 I'm just saying

00:54:49.380 for what it's worth.

00:54:50.180 I actually have no idea

00:54:50.920 what you said.

00:54:51.600 Yeah.

00:54:52.380 This is shameless

00:54:53.580 self-promotion.

00:54:55.080 And I will admit

00:54:56.120 I'm no stranger

00:54:56.900 to shameless self-promotion.

00:54:57.980 I am in elected office

00:54:59.560 for Pete's sake.

00:54:59.960 You fly all the way

00:55:01.040 to New York,

00:55:01.580 I just wanted to have

00:55:02.280 the moment.

00:55:03.080 You know,

00:55:03.520 you look profound

00:55:05.220 and I'm pretty sure

00:55:06.280 you're saying

00:55:07.180 New York Mayor Adams,

00:55:09.040 you are an absolute 1.00

00:55:09.920 total hypocrite. 1.00

00:55:11.060 There you go. 1.00

00:55:11.780 As you have New York

00:55:12.700 in the background

00:55:13.360 and on that

00:55:14.220 you are unquestionably correct

00:55:15.760 as you are when you said

00:55:17.480 rightly,

00:55:18.580 don't mess with Texas.
