• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Nice to have you with us, and Senator you had
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: a very interesting day spending some time with former President
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump and some of your colleagues, and I want
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to get your reaction to that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: It is one twenty nine in the morning right now.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: I just landed back in Texas, so I'm back home.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Always glad to be back home. But today I had
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: lunch with President Trump. He came by and he had
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: lunch with all the Republican senators. Before that, he met
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: with all the Republican House members. I'm going to tell
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: you about that lunch and and what all happened. Second,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about a new Inspector General report
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: from the Department of Homeland Security that blows the whistle
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: that the Biden administration is not vetting the illegal immigrants
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: they're releasing. They're not vetting them, and it's leading to
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: what we saw just this week, terrorists being released in
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: to this country who are preparing to commit major terrorist attack.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: We're going to address that as well.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: And finally, we're going to talk about what's going to
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: happen with Hunter Biden, and in particular, Joe Biden has
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: said that he will not pardon his son, but he
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: has not committed that he will not commute the sentence.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: We're going to talk about what is likely what Biden
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: is likely to do about his son, and we're going
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: to get into that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I want to do it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I want to do a vertical live from Vegas just
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: so we can get some good odds on that one centaer.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I think we can make some serious cash off of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: those promises coming from the White House. We need to
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: do a studio audience live there. Everybody get it on
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the action.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's going to be.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Put a dollar on damn near any bet bet?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. I love it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Let me talk to you real quick about the economy
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and with inflation still well above the Fed's target and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: interest rates still at a what two decade plus hi
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: right now, people are looking for ways to protect their
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: hard earn money. And one way many are doing this
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: all over the world right now is with gold and silver. Now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of gold and silver companies out there,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: but you want to make sure that you maximize your
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: savings and your investments, and that means finding a reputable
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: company that you can work with. I want you to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: know about Freedom Gold USA. The number one reason why
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I recommend them is for this reason. On average, they
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: charge twenty five to thirty percent less than most major
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: gold and silver firms. What does that mean. That means
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you're maximizing your hard earned dollars and getting twenty five
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to thirty percent more gold or silver in your account. Now,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: when it comes to buying gold and silver, you need
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: someone you trust and you need to reach out to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Freedom Gold Usa. Freedom Gold USA is all about educating
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: their clients on how to invest in precious metals. They
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: will never tell you to put all your money in
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: gold or silver. There's a lot of companies out there
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that do that every day. They do fear mongering. That
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is not what Freedom Gold USA is about. They understand
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that it's important to have a diversified financial portfolio, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: when it comes to gold and silver, they want you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to know that you have the right portfolio. Gold and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: silver have historically been great hedges against inflation, a great
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: way to protect your hard earned retirement funds. So take
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: control of your financial future now and save. On average,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: twenty five to thirty percent less is what you're going
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to pay than most other major gold and silver firms.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: When you work with Freedom Gold USA. They're online at
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Freedomgoldusa dot com, slash verdict. That's freedom Goold Usa dot
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: com slash verdict, or call them one eight hundred six '
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: five five eight eight four three. That's one eight hundred
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: sixty five five eight eight four three and ask them
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: about getting free silver in your account today. Centaer, this
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: was a very interesting moment on Capitol Hill. Donald Trump
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: came and met with a lot of the Republican leadership.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: A lot of your colleagues were there, and the initial
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: reports that came out were saying it was a lot
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of enthusiasm and a lot of excitement from the Republican
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: leaders that were there. You were in the room, tell
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: us what was happening.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: So I was.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: So.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Trump began the day by meeting with the House Republicans.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I was not in that meeting.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Some of the reports of that as that was a
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: little bit wild and wooly, that got into all sorts
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: of topics. But Trump came by the Senate to have
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: lunch with us, and so we met at the National
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Republican Senatorial Committee which is like three blocks away from
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the Capitol, and Trump joined us for the lunch and
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: it started. We're all sitting sitting in a room. It
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: started with him talking for about oh, twenty twenty five minutes,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: and then we did a whole series of Q and
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: A where probably about a dozen of us asked him
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: questions and he commented on those. And then we went
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: out and we did a press conference where we stood
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: we all stood behind him, and he stood up and
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: gave the press conference and listen, I gotta say the
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: biggest thing about the lunch that struck me was the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: unity in the room. Look, the media likes to talk
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: about divisions and the Republican Party, and there are certainly some,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: but today I didn't see any of that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Today.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Everyone in the room was focused on winning in November
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: and turning the country around. And Trump was in great spirits.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: One of the things I asked him after the meeting,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I came up and spent a couple of minutes talking
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: with him. I just asked, how are you doing? I mean,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: it's been this BS you're dealing with with these New
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: York convictions, their utter garbage. But listen, it's not fun
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: to be convicted of felonies. I mean, it's been he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: been through hell, and so just as a personal level,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I was asking him how he was doing, and he
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: said he was doing fine, and it seemed real and genuine.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was not He was not down in
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: the dumps. He was not discouraged. In fact, was he
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: was really in good spirits. He was optimistic. And his
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: message to everyone is listen, let's stand togetherize several things.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Number one, he emphasize the border, that we've got to
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: secure the border, that it is insane that we have
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: open borders, that it's an invitation to terrorists.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And he's exactly right.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: If and when Trump wins, we will secure the border
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: in the first month or two of the next Trump administration.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: And I can say that because we know how to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: do it. We did it before, and we'll do it again.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: He also talked a lot about inflation and energy in particular,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and he pointed out quite rightly that energy is foundational
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: to inflation. One of the reasons that prices have gone
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: up on just about everything is that energy prices of
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: skyrocketed because the Biden administration has been waging war on
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: American energy and we are an energy powerhouse where the
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: number one producer of oil in the world, where the
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: number one producer of natural gas in the world, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the Biden administration is doing everything they can to stifle that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And Trump was very clear that we're going to reverse that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: We will reverse that fast early next year, and that's
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: going to have a real impact on energy prices and
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: inflation across the board. We also talked about national security
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and in particular how insane it is that the Biden
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: administration has flowed one hundred billion dollars to Iran and
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: if and when Trump wins, that's going to end as well.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: You mentioned a moment ago that there seemed to be
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: unity in the room. That's incredibly important for getting legislation passed. Yes,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and you need that, and we didn't have that type
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of unity. I would argue last time in twenty sixteen,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: early on, there was some splinters. There was somede divisiveness
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in the House that Senate side. What you seem to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: be describing this time is if Donald Trump is elected
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and Republicans have control of the House Senate, it's game
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on from the from January tecond there's not going to
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: be you know, let's get to know each other time
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and have some meetings and maybe come over the White
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: House like there's an agenda and it's ready to go
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: for the American people.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that that's exactly right.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: And let me put it in broader context, which is,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: yesterday the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, came and
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: had lunch with all the Republican senators. And by the way,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: that almost never happens. When Paul Ryan was speaker, he
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: didn't do that. When John Bayner was Speaker, he didn't
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: do that. When Kevin McCarthy was speaker, he didn't do that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Mike Johnson has done that this multiple times. This is
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: either the third or fourth time he's come and had
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: lunch with all the Senate Republicans.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I think that's great. He was talking at lunch yesterday.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: He said, you know, it's amazing that the media treats
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: it as a news story that the House and senator
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: talking to each other. And the reason he came over
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and talked to us is is he said he's focused
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: on his end, very much on developing the agenda and
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: the plans to hit the ground running if and when
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: we win in November, if we come in to January
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: of next year with a Republican president, Republican Senate, Republican House.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: We got an enormous amount to accomplish. And the Speaker,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to his credit, is very focused on the first one
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: hundred days. What can we accomplish, what can we do
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: to change the path of the country. I encouraged him
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: to dig in on that. In fact, I shared with
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: a speaker and with everyone else in the room. You know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: a lot of the senators that are there now were
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: not there back in twenty seventeen when Trump first became president.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: You Know, the Speaker said, look, when Trump first became president,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: he was a freshman, he was brand new in the Congress,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: and he was amazed that the Congress was not prepared
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: with a legislative agenda from day one. And he pointed
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: out that he thought a lot of Republicans were surprised
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: that Trump won. They were expecting Hillary to win, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: so when the administration came in, they weren't ready for primetime.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: They didn't know what to do.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: In this instance, I'm very glad the Speaker is trying
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: to think proactively. And I described I described something that
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I did back in the summer of twenty eighteen. So
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: summer of twenty eighteen, we did a lunch with all
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: the Senate Republicans and I prepared a PowerPoint. It was
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: about fifty pages long, and I spoke to my colleagues
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: probably the better part of an hour. And the title
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: of the PowerPoint was carpe dim And what I did
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: in the PowerPoint is I looked in the past, in
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: previous instances when one party controlled the White House, the House,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: and the Senate. It happens pretty rarely. When the Democrats
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: do it, they fundamentally transformed the country. So in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: last century, the first time they did it, they passed
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: the New Deal. The second time they did it, they
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: passed the Great Society. The third time they did it,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: they passed Obamacare and Dodd Frank. And now for the
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: last two years we've seen they've spent us into an
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: absolute inflation and recession home. And on the other hand, Republicans,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: when we have unified control, we tend to do small
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: and piddling things. So what I argued in the PowerPoint is,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: at the time I presented it was August of twenty eighteen,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I said, listen, any rational political observer recognizes that there's
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: a very real chance that we will lose at least
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: one House of Congress in November. And I said to
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: my colleagues, particularly the guys who were the sophomores, who
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: were the people who had been elected two years earlier,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: and I said, look for you, guys, we have one
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: hundred and eighty three days till the next Congress.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: For many of you.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: If we do not pass things now, you will never
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: again have another chance to pass anything into law. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: so I put together a spreadsheet. It was about fifty
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: different bills. All of the bills had been written by
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: different Republican senators. Some I had written, but most of
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: them were my colleagues. And all of the bills were
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: bills that had a reasonable prospect of garnering fifty one votes.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: They weren't fringe things that would get ten or twelve votes.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: They were all things that would easily get forty five
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Republicans and that had a real shot at getting fifty.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And what I argued is, I said, listen, this is
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: going to sound radical to you, Ben, we should do something,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: We should not do nothing. Amazingly enough, that argument proved unpersuasive.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell said well, so the principal avenue that if
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: you look, the biggest legislative victory of the Trump years
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: was the twenty seventeen tax cuts. We passed that using
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: what's called budget reconciliation. Budget reconciliation is a process under
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: a bill called the Budget Acted nineteen seventy five. The
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: budget p is not terribly consequential. What's consequential is, under
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: the terms of the statute, you have an up down
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: vote at fifty votes and it can't be filibustered. So
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: it's one of the most important exceptions to the filibuster
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: we could have. If you look at the Democrats, they
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: did three budget reconciliations. It's how they passed almost all
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: of their agenda that put us in this hole. When
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: the Republicans had the majority, we did only one budget reconciliation.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: We did not do a single one in twenty eighteen, which, frankly,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: ben is indefensible. And so I made the case of
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: the Speaker and my colleagues, let's not make that mistake again.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Let's hit the ground running.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: This seems different.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And even when I say different, there's also a lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of people behind the scenes that are working on putting
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: together a Trump administration and a government and learning from
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the mistakes that happened in twenty sixteen.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: How encouraged are you by that?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've had quite a few people I know
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that that I've talked to in many different areas of
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: government who are saying, this just feels different.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: This time. We learned from our mistakes in sixteen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: We learn from our inaction and people that we should
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: have replaced and changed with conservative minds, and we've witnessed
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: what happens when you do that. But this time it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: going to be different. That may be the thing I'm
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the most excited about is if we had, like you mentioned,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: a House and Senate ready to go, but also many
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: of the bureaucrats that have been changed out very quickly
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this time.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: That seems to be the plan.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: In twenty sixteen, I think Trump's winning surprised a lot
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: of people. It surprised a lot of Republicans in the Senate,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: it surprised a lot of Republicans in the House. It
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: frankly surprised the Trump campaign team, and I think it
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: actually surprised Trump himself. On election Day, I think they
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: were all a little bit startled that they had won
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and suddenly, holdly, cow, we're going to go do this now.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: And and so it resulted in when the administration came
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: in in the beginning of twenty seventeen, in Congress, Republican
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: leadership of the House and Senate was not prepared with
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: an agenda because they had assumed Hillary was going to
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: win and they didn't need one, and the White House
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: did not have the experience to know how to drive
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: an agenda. There was no first one hundred Days mission.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: And you're right, there's a whole series of nonprofits that
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: are engaged in laying out specific plans for executive orders,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: for regulations, for legislation, and whether it is the America
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: First Policy Institute or the Heritage Foundation or others. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: think if and when Trump wins this November, we will
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: hit January with a much much better level of preparation
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: to make a lasting difference immediately.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the border, and I want to talk
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: more about that in a moment, But first I want
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to talk to you real quick. If you're a guy
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and you're like me, and you've gotten a little bit
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: older and you feel like you've lost that edge, you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: don't have the energy you used to have fatigue sits
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: in quickly. Now you want to be active, you want
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to work out, but it's just not like it used
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Well, the problem is very clear.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: It's men's testosterum levels are off a cliff historically at
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: an all time low. And that's the problem that so
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: many guys as they end up getting to their forties
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and above, end up having that major drop in testosterum. Well, thankfully,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the patriots at Chalk Choq are helping real American men
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: take back their right to proudly maximize their masculinity by
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: boosting testosterum levels up to twenty percent over ninety days.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Now.

  Speaker 2: been taking Chalk and I got to give it a

• 17:50
  Speaker 2: border real quick center. You guys talked about that. It's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: something that really I think catapulted Trump to get the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: presidency in sixteen when he talked about building the damn wall,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and it clicked with a lot of Americans. Now the President,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden the other day tried to help Mary and said,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna do some executive action here on
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the southern border. But a new poll reveals that Biden's
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: border security move fails to set up five voters. As
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the crisis continues. In other words, the American people are saying,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: we're not taking the bait this time. We are seeing
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: your executive order is pretty much worthless. It is not
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: shutting down illegal crossings at the southern border. This on
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: top of the fact that we have now people that
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: are on the Terrace watch list and those connected isis
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: K that crossed the southern border and got into this
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: country that way, and then they let him go, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: so now they've been arrested the last week, and then
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: we got another warning center this week about we're not
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: doing a good enough job betting the people that are
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: coming across that we are catching.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right. And listen, I think Democrats believe
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: that the American people, the voters, are stupid and that
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: they're easily deceived by an announcement that Biden's got an
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: executive order to secure the border good, the problems fixed.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: I don't think the voters are stupid. I think they've
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: got an enormous amount of common sense. And at this point,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: anyone who's paying attention even a tiny bit knows that
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: this invasion at our southern border is deliberate. It's what
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: the Democrats want, It's what Joe Biden wants, it's what's
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris wants, it's what every Democrat in the Senate,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: in the House wants. I think people get that, and
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: that's one of the challenges the Biden campaigns trying to
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: deceive them and saying no, no, no, no, it's not Biden.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: He's trying to fix it. I don't think people are
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: going to buy that. But as you noted, just an
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: additional piece of evidence that's really quite compelling and quite
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: concerning is that there's a brand new report that came
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: out this week from the Inspector General of the Department
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: of Homeland Security, and the DHS Inspector General concludes number one,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: that DHS has not been a effectively screening non citizens
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: and asylum seekers. Number two that CBP can't access all
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: federal data to complete thorough screening and vetting. And number three,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the DHS Inspector General in the Biden administration concluded as
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: following quote, DHS will remain at risk of admitting dangerous
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: persons into the country or enabling asylum seekers who may
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: post significant threats to public safety and national security to
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: continue to reside in the United States end quote until
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: these challenges are addressed. This is a bombshell report from
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the Inspector General and so of course the corporate media
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: is ignoring it altogether.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: You look at this, there's so many warnings, and we've
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: seen the FBI give their warnings that the director there
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: has given his warnings and he says that it is
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a very concerning and real national security threat of the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: open southern border. You then put this combined with ISIS
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and what you just talked about, and you have to
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: ask yourself the question who is to blame for being
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: asleep at the wheel here or is it just Democrats say, Look,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: we're willing to sacrifice some Americans, some of you are
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: going to die in a terrorist attack one day, but
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: we got in twenty million illegal immigrants and.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That was worth it for us.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: How do you look at this subject now knowing these
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: warnings are coming now from people I think inside of
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: our government under Biden, who are trying to cover the
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: rear ends.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Well, Listen in terms of Washington Democrats, the Democrats in
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: the Senate of the House, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: and the executive branch ben To be honest, I don't
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: think they give a damn. I have seen no evidence.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: That's my worry.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: It's like it's almost like it's, well, it's the price
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: that we're willing to pay. We're willing to sacrifice safety, security,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: and in reality, if you compare it to what isis
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: K did in Russia, American lives to get what we
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: ultimately what we want, which is a new voting block.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Look, I think the Democrats right now in Congress are
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: incredibly cynical and the only thing they're focused on is
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: what will keep them in power, what will ensure that
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: they're more and more and more and more Democrat voters.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: And I think they look at the eleven million people
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: they've allowed into this country illegally and they view them
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: all as future Democrat voters. Now, some of them, I
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: think they are counting on voting illegally this election, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: the rest of them, I think they're counting on voting
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: legally once a Democrat administration gets into office and grants
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: them amnesty. And so I think from their view, they
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: are fundamentally remaking the demographics of this country and they're
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: trying to remake it in a way that ensures that
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Democrats remain in power forever. And the thing that is
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: tragic is they're more than happy. The Democrats are more
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: than happy to look the other way if the people die,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: at the people dying crossing the border day after day
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: after day, the migrants dying, They're perfectly happy to look
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: the other way. At the children being brutalized. They're perfectly
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: happy to look the other way at the women being
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: repeatedly sexually assaulted. They're perfectly happy to look away at
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: all of the victims of crime we've seen all across
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: the country from illegal aliens that the Biden administration is released,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: and most inexplicably, they have to date been perfectly happy
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: to look the other way at the growing and deeply
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: troubling risk of a major terrorist attack in the United
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: States from illegal aliens that the Biden administration is released
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: among us.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: During your time serving in the Senate, have you ever
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: seen this many warnings on a national security issue? Now
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: come before you, guys publicly, because it's not just like
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: one person as a whistleblower. You're talking about the head
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of the FBI, You're now talking about the DHA Inspector General.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: You're talking about others with a Department of Home and Security,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: border patrol agents, the Border Union. I mean, they're all
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: singing now the same tune. Which is we're sitting on
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: a time bomb.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I think the facts have gotten so overwhelming that
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: they had no choice. If you look at Christopher Ray,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: who is the head of the FBI, he has testified
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: now repeatedly in front of Congress, and he said there
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: is an enormous risk of a terrorist attack in the
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: United States. It is from our southern border. We are
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: all vulnerable, and we've got to step up and fight
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: back on this. As you know, I know Chris Ray
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: very very well. We both clerked for the same Court
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: of Appeals judge. I've known Chris Ray for thirty years.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I think he's a good man. Interestingly enough, he's not
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: a Democrat. I think he fully considers himself a Republican.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: And my fault with Chris Ray, which I've articulated multiple times,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: is that I think he's a company man. I think
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: his view of his job as the FBI director is
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: to defend the career employees at the FBI, to circle
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: the wagons around the senior leadership. And that might in
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: an ordinary circumstance make sense, but it doesn't make sense
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: here when you have hardcore partisans who have burrowed into
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: senior leadership. Positions and who are corrupting the integrity of
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: the FBI. That being said, Chris Ray keeps going to
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Congress and saying people, the risk of a terrorist attack
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: is enormous. He's trying to ring the bell because he's
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: looking at the intel. Look, let me read you from
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: just the opening page of the report from the Inspector
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: General at the Department Homeland Security. It says, quote what
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: we found the Department of Homeland Securities technology procedures and coordination,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: we're not fully effective to screen and vet non citizens
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: applying for admission into the United States or asylum seekers
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: whose asylum applications were pending for an extended period. Although
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: US Customs and Border Protection deployed new technologies to enhance
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: traveler screening, it could not access all federal data necessary
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: to ensure complete screening and vetting of non citizens seeking
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: admission to the United States. In addition, CBP used varied
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: and sometimes inconsistent inspection procedures for travelers arriving in vehicles
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: at land ports of entry. Finally, CBP does not have
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: the technology to perform biometric matching on travelers arriving in
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: vehicles at land ports of entry. Once a non citizen
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: files an asylum application. US Citizenship and Immigration Services conducts
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: screening and vetting to verify each asylum applicants' identity and
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: determine their ability. However, USCIS did not always complete timely
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: screenings for more than four hundred thousand affirmative asylum app
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: applicants who filed for asylum between October twenty seventeen and
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: March twenty twenty three, four hundred thousand. Additionally, USCIS does
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: not have a dedicated procedure or comprehensive technology solution to
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: perform interim screening of asylum applicants whose cases were not
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: adjudicated within the required one hundred and eighty day timeframe.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: So you look at all of that, and it reminds
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: me so much of nine to eleven, when we found
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: out afterwards, Yes, everybody wasn't talking to each other, the
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: FBI and the CIA weren't talking to another, and so
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: things were falling through the cracks. Except this time they're
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: all saying, are falling through the cracks before the attack,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: not after. Is there any chance that we can get
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: this together quickly enough to fix it before it's too eight?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Or is this just now an administration's decision of hey,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: we know what we're doing here, we know the risk,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: and we're okay with it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I think there's no chance with this administration. Look look
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden. It is terrifying. Joe Biden is utterly absent.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: He is not competent to do the job.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: He's in.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris is a dumpster fire. Alejandro Majorcas is brazenly
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: defying the law and is in fact presiding over the
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: criminal invasion of this country. Merrick Garland is so politicized
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: the Department of Justice is not going to do anything.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I do not believe these individuals will change their behavior.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: They've made the devil's bargain that they will destroy our
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: country in order to let enough illegal immigrants into this
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: country to ensure they stay in power. And so I
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: think the only only only answer is for Republicans to
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: win in November, for Trump to win reelection, and for
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: us to win the Senate in the House.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: This June marks two years since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But did you know that the number of abortions actually
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: increase the following year. In twenty twenty three, the amount
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: of abortions reach its highest level since twenty twelve, with
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the abortion pill accounting for up to sixty three percent
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: of all abortions. It's tragically no surprise. Well, there is
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: one organization that is helping women choose life, and Preborn
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: continues to stand strong for women in crisis and at
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: risk babies. Preborn is a ministry of compassion that showers
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: women and babies with God's love, providing free ultrasounds to
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: mothers with unplanned pregnancies to introduce them to the precious
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: life growing inside of them. When a mother meets her
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: baby on ultrasound and here's their heartbeat, she is twice
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: as likely to choose life.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Let me say that again.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: When a mother meets her baby on ultrasound and here's
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: her baby's heartbeat, she is twice as likely to choose life.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Twenty eight dollars sponsors one ultrasound, and that's where you
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: come in, and one and forty dollars can actually help
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: to rescue five babies. Your generous tax deductible donation will
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: also help to provide women who choose life with assistance
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: from up to two years after they choose life. So
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: if you're ready to stand up to plan parenthood, then
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: please give your best gift. To donate, all you have
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: to do is dial pound two fifty and say the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: keyword baby. That's pound two point fifty on your phone,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: say the keyword baby. Or you can visit preborn slash verdict.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: That's preborn dot com slash verdict preborn dot com slash verdict. Senator,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: a moment ago you mentioned the President, you said you
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: think he is at this point clearly incompetent. He is
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: a guy that is his own just department said he
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: couldn't stand trial. He thinks he would be incompetence trial.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: We've seen several videos come out over the last couple
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: of days of the President looking clearly like he's lost
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: at events, not knowing what's going on, and slurring his words.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: But there does seem to be one issue that he's
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: still very much honed in on, and that is the
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: number one issue of taken care of his son, Hunter Biden.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden has claimed he's not going to give a
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: pardon to his son, but we also know that Joe
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Biden in the White House is very much getting the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: idea out there. So people will, I guess, be okay
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: with it that he may commute his son Hunter sentence.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: The question is will be smart enough to do this
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: after election day? And is it even a bigger possibility
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that he may just be flat out lying and he's
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: going to just straight up pardon him.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Well, look, the odds are significant. I believe that Joe
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Biden pardons his son, and I think it all hinges
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: on what happens in November. I think if Joe Biden loses,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: then he will pardon Hunter. In November December, he will
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: pardon Hunter before leaving. If Joe Biden wins, it gets
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: more complicated. I think he will want a pardon Hunter.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: But if he's starting a second term and he's got
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: four years to go, I think his political team will
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: be terrified that pardoning Hunter, especially after you promised the
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: American people you would not, would do irreparable damage to him.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: And so what I think is likely is if he wins,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: instead of pardoning Hunter, that he will commute the sentence.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Commuting the sentence basically says, Okay, no more jail time
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: You can go.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: You're still a felon, You're still a convicted felon, you
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: still have many of the detriments of being a felon,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: but you're wearing a bulletproof vest, so it is at
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: least much much harder to kill you. I think the
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: two options are Biden loses, he pardons Hunter. Biden wins,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: he commutes Hunter's sentence and lets him go from jail.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: You look at the White House, and what you said
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: would directly contradict what the White House has said. The
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: White House Press Secretary Jean Pierre saying this second one
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: with a cousin.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Pardon or commute his son if he's convicted. So I've
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: answered this question before.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: It was asked of me not too long ago, a
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: I said no.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I mean she didn't just say pardon. She also said
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: commute the sentence. The president will not do it. No,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: And I guess that's a smart political answer going into
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: November and then after you win, who cares?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Right you?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Why to the American people on quote having a secure
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: border when they know they're what you're lying to. You'll
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: look at him in the face. You tell him Bidnomics
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: is working with every American turning. You tell people the
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: economy is strong and great right now, when it's clearly not.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, these are the lies that they tell every
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: single day, so why not lie on this one?
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Well and listen, Kareeine Jean Pierre does that every day.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: We have detailed at great lengths the deliberate lies she
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: has told for the White House Briefing room. The one
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: that is still the most galling is when she stood
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: up there and said, you know, people are not just
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: walking across our border. That's not happening, and that is
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: such a brazen lie. You'll recall on this podcast. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: invited to take Kareeine down to the border any day
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: of the week and we would go out on patrol
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: and we would find illegals crossing day after day after day.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: That's how we got to eleven million illegals. She did
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: not take me up on that invitation, but I will
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: tell you multiple times over the last two years she's
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: gotten in arguments with this podcast, with points you and
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I have made on the podcast that she's been forced
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: to stand up at the White House Press briefing and defense.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: And actually one of our good friends, Kaylie Mcanany on Fox,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: has put together a compilation of Kareem John Pierre's repeated
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: flip flops and repeated lies.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Take a listen, Hunter Biden, I want you to watch
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: this closely because I'm very confused. Kareem John Pierre was
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: asked her Eagagle yesterday if President Biden would commute Tunner sentence.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: We know he said he would impart him. Would he
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: commute it? She answered very differently than she did on
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: September fifteenth, twenty twenty three. Watched the two answers.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: What I'm saying is that the President I am not
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: spoken to the President about this, And what I'm saying
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: is he was asked about a pardon, he was asked
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: about he was asked about the trial specifically, and he
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: answered it very clearly, very forthright. As we know the sentence.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: He hasn't even been scheduled yet. I don't have anything beyond.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: What the President said. He spent very clear about this.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: Checond one with the president or commute his son if
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: he's convicted.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I've answered this question before.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: It was asked of me not too long ago, a
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: I said.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: No, that's confusing.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: That's a change. Yes it is.
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: I think she's clearly leaving the door open for America
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: to accept, frankly, a commutation inevitably, which who would be
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: surprised given the person at the helm. You were making
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: some great points of it, Hunter, I want to just
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: give you some space to make them too.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: I just think that their real risk here is that
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: he is a vulnerability if he were to be facing
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: jail and flip and I know that's people. Oh my god,
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: he'd never flip me. If you read the text messages
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: and some of the stuff that's in evidence already in
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: the cases he's facing. There's no love loss between Hunter
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: and some of the members of the Biden family. Let's
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: just put it this way. He's not on the same
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: page with Jill. He's got issues with the uncle. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: think the uncle is actually the one that's the most vulnerable,
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: particularly in the area of the Chinese money. They can't
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: afford to have him turn hostile. And that's why once
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: his legal troubles conquered, all of a sudden, he's at
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: the White House, he's on the plane he's going to do,
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: you know, with on trips with Joe Biden, keeping.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Him close by the way.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: One thing there that I do want to ask your
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: opinion of, there was some criticism of Joe Biden flying
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: back and forth to the trial. They were holding hands,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: walking in and out of the courtroom, and coming back
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: from overseas to make appearances.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: The point that was made there about.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: The liability, like, hey, we got to keep him close
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: because if we're not sure he could even handle Jawn.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: If he did, then what could happen to the other
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: family members. It's a very interesting perspective and point, especially
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: if you go back and read some of the things
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: that he has said and written in his own words.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to say I don't actually agree with
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: the criticism of Joe Biden on this. She's his mom.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Her son is facing multiple felony counts. He's now been
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: convicted of multiple felonies. Her son has had a very
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: troubled life, has had enormous substance abuse problems. I am
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: never going to faul to a mom for loving her son,
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: and so the fact that she came back to be
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: with him in the trial, Look, that's part of being
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: a mom.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Fair point, Senator. I appreciate it.
• 38:15
