00:03:39.060there you go and he really does i've hiccuped twice and and and he really does view it as a
00:03:44.940fundamental moral failing not saying anything ben i'm just saying that's my dad's worldview
00:03:49.300I did. True story. I did go to bed after 4 a.m. because I could not get them to stop.

00:03:57.300It was it was it was four hours straight before the show.
00:04:01.260Then they went away. Then they started halfway through the show.
00:04:03.520And then literally I could not go to bed until about 4.15.
00:04:06.760OK, that's a nightmare. All right. Let's talk about something worse.

00:05:32.820Back to your press conference and everything that we've got in detail on this story.
00:05:38.380Press release for the Department of Justice.
00:05:40.180Justice Department notifies Fairfax County, Virginia Commonwealth's attorney of investigation into his plea bargaining, charging decisions and sentencing policy.
00:05:50.640Today, the Justice Department notified the Fairfax County, Virginia Commonwealth's attorney, Steve Descano, of the initiation of a federal investigation into the Commonwealth's attorney's plea bargaining charge in decisions and sentencing policy.
00:06:04.500The Justice Department Civil Rights Division will investigate whether the office of the Fairfax Commonwealth's attorney discriminated against United States citizens by offering preferential treatment only to illegal, alien, criminal defendants.
00:06:29.880what kind of prosecutor that says given every criminal defendant in front of us
00:06:35.860let's discriminate against u.s citizens and let's favor illegal aliens well that is in fact what is
00:06:44.380happening in northern virginia it's it's not only happening but i think when you look at
00:06:51.240the reach what you realize is george soros understood that he was going to be able to buy
00:06:57.140access to power he was going to be able to then use those individuals however he wanted to because
00:07:04.660he's the one that got them elected and that meant going easy on the people that he said
00:07:10.340regardless of what the law says are the actual criminal illegal immigrants including if they're
00:07:17.480committing heinous crimes if he says you let him go you look the other way i'm the one that got you
00:07:22.940elected apparently that's exactly what happened in this scenario well let me go through the facts
00:07:28.800and and there's an article uh written by tim carney entitled team steve descano america's
00:07:36.040worst prosecutor here's what it says murderers rapists perverts and pimps these are the folks
00:07:44.360served by fairfax county prosecutor steve descano the george soros funded commonwealth's attorney
00:07:50.080for the suburban county of one million has openly stated he won't enforce the law when it clashes
00:07:57.060with his ideology. The results have been ugly. Richard Cox was already a serial sex offender
00:08:03.960when he exposed himself in a woman's locker room in Fairfax, but Descano let him go and he
00:08:10.200proceeded to expose himself in a high school girl's locker room. Abdul Jalla was arrested more than
00:08:17.66030 times, including for malicious wounding, but was repeatedly set free. He is now accused of
00:08:26.120stabbing Stephanie Mintner to death on February 23rd. Gret Glier was executed in his bed in a
00:08:37.060calculated assassination. Descano last month let the killer go with an insanity plea, and a Chinese
00:08:45.500pimp ran a brothel in a residential neighborhood across the street from a school bus stop.
00:08:53.140While police did everything they could to shut it down, Descano's office dropped the
00:08:57.740prostitution charges and let the place continue operating until the Republican Attorney General
00:09:03.260got it shuttered. These are just a few of the stories that illustrate Descano's extreme
00:09:08.120tolerance of criminals and harm to constituents. Descano is in office because of left-wing
00:09:14.220billionaire George Soros. Descano was first elected as Fairfax County's Commonwealth's
00:09:19.280Attorney in 2019 when he knocked off the incumbent, Raymond Morrow, in the Democrat primary,
00:09:26.000winning by 1,500 votes in a low turnout election. Descano raised about $1 million
00:09:34.140between the primary and the general election, a shocking amount for a down-ballot county race.
00:09:40.960about two-thirds of his cash came from two Soros-funded organizations, the Justice and Public
00:09:47.460Safety PAC and the New Virginia Majority PAC. This is a pattern. It's a pattern over and over
00:09:54.260again. George Soros and the radical leftists, the Marxists then, they've discovered a vulnerability
00:10:00.780in our democracy, in our constitutional republic, which is they can elect what are now called Soros
00:10:06.760DAs. And these are DAs that make the decision, we're going to release murderers. We're going to
00:10:13.920release rapists. We're going to release violent criminals. You know, you think about it. Virtually
00:10:19.200every Democrat in the Senate has voted repeatedly in favor of abolishing the police. That is a
00:10:24.280radical and nutty idea. Five years ago, if you asked any person in favor of abolishing the
00:10:30.580police, people would say, no, no, that's crazy. Well, today's Democrat party, that is now
00:10:35.200mainstream there is are two ways you abolish the police one you cut off the funding and shut down
00:10:41.280the police and we've seen democrat cities do that from new york city to minneapolis to sadly austin
00:10:48.320texas and our home state of texas but the second way you abolish the police is you elect a soros
00:10:55.040da you flood millions of dollars from george soros you elect a da and by the way the police cannot
00:11:00.720enforce the law if the DA will not prosecute. Doesn't do any good for the police to arrest
00:11:05.480someone if the DA says, you know what, we're going to let these violent criminals go.
00:11:10.500And so now you've got the Department of Justice going after this elected Soros DA
00:11:15.400for giving sweetheart deals to illegal immigrants and favoring illegal immigrants over U.S.
00:11:22.740citizens. It is shocking. And the most shocking thing is it's not shocking. That is
00:11:30.120look, I think George Soros and his team of cronies have discovered a vulnerability in our
00:11:36.140Democrat society, and we need to fight back against this. How do you fight back against
00:11:42.860this? I mean, when you see the deals that are being made, I think every American should be
00:11:48.140outraged over this. Illegal immigrants should not be able to walk away from the laws that they're
00:11:54.480breaking but american citizens be held accountable for breaking those same laws but if you as you
00:12:00.060mentioned if you have a da that decides to do this what are our options after that uh and when you
00:12:08.360look into this investigation i gotta say this can't be just happening in one place it's probably
00:12:14.240happening in by activist da's all over the country if this is the kickback that in essence soros was
00:12:20.240guaranteeing himself. Yeah. The way you do it is you do what we're doing right now. You shine a
00:12:24.760light on it. You go defeat him in elections. You go run candidates against him. You go run and say,
00:12:29.360let me say a radical idea. Violent criminals should be in jail. Let me give you some facts
00:12:34.440about Fairfax County DA Steve Descano. He reduced rape, which is normally punishable by up to life
00:12:42.820in prison to misdemeanor assault, 90 days suspended sentence, no jail. He dropped gun
00:12:50.920possession by illegal alien to brandishing. The result of it is he has released over and over
00:13:00.100again, violent criminals and violent criminal illegal aliens. But I'll tell you, Virginia's
00:13:07.940having a tough week because not only do they have a radical D.A. who the Department of Justice is
00:13:14.300now investigating, but the head of the top Democrat in the state legislature, this extremely left-wing
00:13:23.400Democrat, Virginia Senate President pro tempore Louise Lucas, has now had her offices raided by
00:13:33.440the FBI, rated by the FBI for corruption. The FBI has executed court-authorized federal search
00:13:40.100warrant in Portsmouth, Virginia, an FBI spokesperson, told the Washington Examiner,
00:13:44.460adding there's no threat to public safety. This is an ongoing investigation. Now, what is the
00:13:49.240investigation? By the way, this particular left-wing Democrat, she was the leading author
00:13:56.700of Virginia's Democrat gerrymander that took their 6-5 Democrat majority in the congressional
00:14:04.960delegation and drove it to 10-1. And by the way, this particular Democrat was particularly mad at
00:14:12.360me. So when I pointed out that this was a corruption of democracy, to take a state where
00:14:18.740nearly half of the citizens voted for Donald Trump and to gerrymander it so that 10 seats
00:14:25.800would be democrat one would be republican she responded blasting me she said you all started it
00:14:32.600blasting me we effing finished it well i gotta say right now she's being prosecuted for corruption
00:14:40.700prosecuted for corruption in particular favoring marijuana distribution uh locations uh it's it's
00:14:49.600an investigation examining possible corruption and bribery related to marijuana dispensary
00:14:55.920businesses. And this is a bad, bad week for left-wing radical Democrats in Virginia.

00:15:36.380all right senator uh this is a very interesting and just weird story you have a liberal democratic
00:15:44.020Congresswoman Jaipal, who defies President Trump, to literally go work with a foreign country, Cuba,
00:15:52.900to try to get them oil. And I'm pretty sure that if I'm looking at this the right way,
00:15:59.380this could be against the law. What she's now trying to do is, again, advocate for Cuba right
00:16:04.280now. Well, Ben, let me make a statement that I don't want to be true. And I want to make the
00:16:10.080statement, and then we're going to assess the facts to determine if it's true. Here's the
00:16:15.500statement. Too many elected Democrats in Congress hate America and actively, aggressively, and
00:16:25.860enthusiastically support the communist enemies of America. Now, as I say that, listen, as someone
00:16:33.260who loves our country, I hate saying those words. I don't want them to be true. I want you to listen
00:16:39.180to the words of Pramila Jayapal, who is a left-wing, progressive, communist member of the
00:16:47.800Democrat Party from Washington. Listen to what she had to say about what she's been doing lately.
00:16:53.980In January, Trump issued an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying
00:17:01.140fuel to Cuba. This was this January, just a few months ago. And oil shipments from Venezuela,
00:17:06.960that's where Cuba had been getting its oil, were halted after the U.S. operations to kidnap
00:17:13.340Nicolas Maduro. Since January, only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba. In fact,
00:17:23.080it landed just a couple of days before I landed. And one tanker has enough oil basically for 10
00:17:31.420to 14 days of Cuba's oil needs. So it's a very limited amount of time. Now, Russia has said
00:17:38.420they're going to send another tanker. I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico
00:17:44.280and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to
00:17:49.020get oil there. But it is a crisis beyond imagination. Just this past Friday, on May 1st,
00:17:56.700Trump signed a broad executive order that widens sanctions and allows for new penalties similar to what we have for Iran and Russia against foreign banks and firms that are dealing with Cuba, and it also reinforces the ban on U.S. tourism.
00:18:14.780I have called these sanctions an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.
00:18:23.300It is illegal. It is against the war. We've been talking about this in Iran, obviously, to bomb the infrastructure of any country.
00:18:29.720That is against international law. This is essentially doing the same thing.
00:18:34.700It is bombing the infrastructure of Cuba with economic sanctions that essentially ensure that the infrastructure collapses.
00:18:46.220There's something interesting that she said there.
00:18:48.560She kept saying the kidnap of Maduro like it was a crime center.
00:18:53.940I'm like, which I mean, it's like whose side is she on?
00:18:57.560Is it on the side of Maduro and the communist in Cuba?
00:19:16.700Democrats and Republicans will disagree.
00:19:18.700We'll disagree on how high the top marginal tax rate should be.
00:19:22.140We'll disagree on some policy questions.
00:19:23.960But when it comes to defending America,
00:19:26.440when it comes to standing with American servicemen and women,
00:19:29.120when it comes to standing up against our enemies,
00:19:31.140We're going to stand united. Sadly, that is not this world. Representative Jayapal, who I've never met. She's a very, very left wing. She is part of the squad. She is part of AOC and Ilhan Omar and these extremely left wing House members.
00:19:48.800look when she says the kidnapping of nicholas maduro understand nicholas maduro was indicted
00:19:54.540for being a massive narco trafficker our fbi came down executed a legitimate arrest warrant
00:20:02.020the delta force accompanied them to carry out that arrest warrant she describes it as the kidnapping
00:20:08.860that is language that is identical to what every enemy of america would say the last i checked
00:20:16.040executing a legitimate arrest warrant nicolas maduro number one he's he's a tyrant who's
00:20:22.000responsible for massive oppression of his people for murder for torture for he has destroyed
00:20:28.200venezuela just like hua chavez has but you know what that's not what he was indicted for that's
00:20:33.000not what he was arrested for he is a huge narco trafficker and he has killed thousands of americans
00:20:39.840through the drugs he's flooded into this country and her view is nicolas maduro is the victim
00:20:44.720It is the evil American government that dared arrest this narco trafficker.
00:20:50.700So on Cuba, understand, she is unambiguous.
00:20:54.640She stands with the Cuban communist government.
00:20:57.080And I will say this, my family was imprisoned and tortured by Cuban communists.
00:21:06.100I get that she's from Washington state.
00:21:07.920I get there are a bunch of leftists who snap their fingers at yes, yes, yes,
00:21:11.680communism is wonderful because they're soft and and and weak and they hate america but i gotta
00:21:18.760say the idea that they're actively trying to smuggle fuel into cuba because their objective is
00:21:26.960they want the communist regime in cuba to stand to exist i find infuriating look ben
00:21:35.580did you ever have a chance to meet my tia sonia i i yes i actually did once at an election event
00:21:42.760okay my tia sonia my aunt she's my father's kid sister i i adored her she was an amazing
00:21:50.680spectacular person she passed away earlier this year yeah my nickname what i've called her my
00:21:57.340whole life is my tia loca which is spanish for crazy and she was a fireball she died at 82 she
00:22:03.780lived a wonderful life, a life that I celebrate. She was in Cuba after the revolution. She fought
00:22:10.300in the Cuban revolution. She was tortured in Cuban prisons. When she was dying, she lived in
00:22:17.880Dallas. She was fading away earlier this year. And she was on her deathbed. We all knew she was
00:22:22.920going. And I told her, it was right after Maduro had been arrested. And I told her, I said, yeah,
00:22:28.220We just arrested Maduro. Cuba's next. Cuba is going to fall.
00:22:36.100And I got to say, the look of joy in her face.
00:22:40.260And there are millions of people in America, millions of Cubans, Americans, millions of Venezuelan Americans, millions of Chinese Americans and Korean Americans.
00:22:50.960And everyone who has been a victim of communism, who has understood, listen, Ben, I believe communism is the most evil ideology that the world has ever produced.
00:23:03.080There's been no ideology in American history and world history that has resulted in more murder, more torture, more slavery, more oppression, more poverty, and more misery than China.
00:23:18.800and and to listen to an elected member of congress a leader of the democrat party
00:23:27.140saying she desperately wants to smuggle fuel in because her objective is to save the communist
00:23:34.620government in cuba i gotta say it it will be an amazing thing i don't know what's going to happen
00:23:40.120in cuba but we have a greater opportunity right now than at any point in my lifetime to see the
00:23:45.280communist regime fall. And then here's what I want to see happen. I want to see this communist
00:23:51.080regime fall. I want to see a new government in Cuba that is democratically elected, that is
00:23:57.080legitimate, that is just two things, that embraces free markets and that wants to be friends with
00:24:04.560America. And let me tell you what that will look like if that happens. Number one, I would love to
00:24:10.940see Cuba be this oasis of free enterprise, much like a Singapore or a Hong Kong before China took
00:24:18.340it over. I think it could be extraordinary. But number two, Cuba has a massive advantage.
00:24:25.040There are millions of Cuban expats, Cubans who fled Cuba, came to America seeking freedom,
00:24:32.300who if Cuba had a free market government that was friends with America,
00:24:36.780would eagerly invest in cuba there would be billions of dollars tens of billions of dollars
00:24:43.880that would be invested in cuba you would see a mass of capital cuba is stuck in the dark ages
00:24:50.520it's like going to cuba and i've never been i will go to cuba when we have a free cuba i do not wish
00:24:55.040to go to cuba under communism but cuba the cars they drive you know the cars they drive are from
00:25:00.540the 1950s yeah it's like the the movie the land that time forgot when the revolution happened
00:25:07.400the cars stopped the innovation stopped the food stopped the misery stopped the poverty
00:25:13.200everything froze in time and i'll tell you cuba has some of the most beautiful beaches on the
00:25:18.840face of the planet if we have a free market government that's friends with america we will
00:25:25.060see this tourist oasis, billions of dollars flooding into Cuba, and it's just 90 miles
00:26:19.960Number two, the lead Democrat, the Virginia Senate, her office is raided by the FBI for corruption, for corruption concerning marijuana dispensaries.
00:26:34.160Number three, a Democrat member of the House openly supporting communist Cuba, trying to do everything she can to smuggle fuel into Cuba so that the communist regime continues oppressing the people.
00:27:17.860They're creating technology that can implant in the human brain to help people who have lost basic abilities, who have lost mobility, who have lost speech, who have lost sight, to turn that around and give them a life again.
00:27:35.520So, for example, what they do, they have a unit, and it's a unit about the size of a quarter.
