Mexico Extradites 26 Cartel Leaders in Landmark Trump Deal & Whistleblower Accuses Schiff · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I want to take you back to February of this year,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and something big happened at the White House. The Trump
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: administration designated several major drug cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: MS thirteen and others, as quote global terrorists organizations. Well,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: now we know more about why that decision was made.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's executive authority has now been used and has
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: signed a directive empowering the Pentagon to prepare military options
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on land and at sea against Latin American drug cartels
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that have been designated as quote foreign terrorists organizations. Preparedness
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and non immediate action is what this is really all about.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Military plans are being drawn up, we're being told now,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: including special forces, intelligence operations, naval operations, and surveillance. The
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: threshold fractual deployment has not been crossed yet. No ground operations,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we've been told, are imminent. But Mexico is already responding
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to this. In fact, today Mexico extradited twenty six top
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: cartel leaders to the US and a Trump administration deal.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: The transfer comes ahead of a twenty five percent tariff
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on Mexican goods imposed by President Trump. Mexico handing over
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: these twenty six top cartel leaders in the United States
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of America this week is massive. It's something that Biden
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: never even tried to do or Obama. The cartel figures
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: were scheduled to fly the US on Tuesday, we were
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: being told by reporters today is the latest example of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration's historic effort to dismantle cartels and foreign
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: terrorists organizations. That's what Attorney General Pam Bondi said to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Fox News, saying, quote, these twenty six men have all
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: played a role in bringing violence and drugs to American chores.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Under the Department of Justice, they will face severe consequences
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: for their crimes against his country. And we're grateful to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the President of Mexico and the Mexican government for their
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: collaboration in this matter. Now, one of the twenty six
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: cartel members that was turned over the US is a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: man that was wanted. His name was Gonzales Vallecina. He
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was a leader of one of the top Mexican cartels
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and he also is accused of participating in the two
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: thousand and eight killing of a Los Angeles sheriff deputy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He's one of those that is among the twenty six
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that are being handed over to the US. The Trump administration,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: by the way, has classified that cartel, the CJNG, as
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a terrorist organization. Mexico's Attorney General's office and the Security
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Ministry confirmed the men were being handed over, saying the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: deal was made after the US this Justice Department said
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't seek the death penalty for any of the men.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The deal comes amid the Trump administration's focus on border security,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: an attempt to crack down on Mexican cartels that's in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: drugs across the border. President Trump's top priority is protecting
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the homeland, which is why it took the bold steps
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That's what the Deputy White House pres Secretary said today
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: in a statement that was released Mexican President on Friday,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so the US military would not be entering Mexican territory
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: following reports that Washington could take action to combat the cartels, saying, quote,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we co operate, we collaborate, but there is not going
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to be an invasion. It's off the table, absolutely off
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the table, quote unquote, which brings me back to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: White House. I want you to take a listen to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: part of what was said about what the president is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: planning to do and how serious he is about combating
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: these terrorists. Here he is in his own words.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: You were talking about sending military forces to fight against
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the drug cartels in Latin America.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's worth sending our forces or US
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: forces there to take this.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: On cartels where central Latin America.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Latin America's got a lot of cartels, They've got a
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: lot of drugs flowing. So, you know, we want to
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: protect our country. We have to protect our country. We
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: haven't been doing it for four years. And we love
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: this country like they love their countries. We have to
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: protect our country. So you know, we're playing a tough game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: But we'll have more to say about that soon.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We'll have more to say about that soon. Clearly the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: President United States of America not messing around when it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: comes to protecting the homeland. Are you one of those
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that's just so tired of giving your money to radical
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: left woke companies that actually are fighting against your values
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: every day? Well, there are certain bills that you pay
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: every month that if you can go with a conservative company,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: why not do it? In fact, why not go with
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a conservative company? That actually takes part of your bill
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: every month that you're going to pay to somebody, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they give it back to organizations that support your First
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: unborn children, that stand with our military, are first responders,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and so many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: bill I'm talking about is your cell phone bill. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I've been telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: But there's no better time to switch than right now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Not only does Patriot Mobile operate on all three major

• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations that actually

  Speaker 1: support abortion. That is why I want you to switch

• 7:02
  Speaker 1: That's Patriotmobile dot com slash fergusoner ninety seven to two Patriot. Now,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the President has not only sent a queer message he's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: not messing around with Mexico, but the former acting ICE
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Director says this quote, the game is up for the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: cartels amid Trump's border crackdown. Here's more of what he
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: said this plan could look like.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Donathan Fehe, former acting ICE Director and former DHS Deputy
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Assistant Secretary Jonathan great to have you on the show.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: I want to play some sound here from the Secretary
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: of State Marco Rubio. He said this about targeting cartels
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: as terrorists.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Their behavior is going to have to change one way
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: or another, but it allows us to now target what
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: they're operating and to use other elements of American power,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, whatever, Yeah, to target
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: these groups. If we have an opportunity to do it,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: we have to start treating them as armed terrorist organizations,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: not simply drug dealing organizations.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's a proper assessment. I don't
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: know what you think about this, Jonathan, but it's interesting
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: because these cartels are no longer just providing these illegal
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: products by the thousands of pounds. They're killing thousands of Americans.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: You're exactly right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: And if you think about it, just during the Biden administration,
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: four hundred thousand people died of overdose tests just in
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: that four year term, and as we know, there is
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: just a complete dereliction of duty on the border as
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: well as taking it to their cartels. And just for
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: some context, that's one hundred thousand more than during the
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: first Trump administration, So a massive increase. We need to
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: take it to them because, yeah, people are dying, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: President Trump isn't going to just stand by and just say, oh,
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: this is now the status quo. One hundred thousand Americans.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: Ye're going to die of overdose. This is unacceptable. He's
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: going to take it to them. And there's a you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: another benefit to this by by even talking about this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: The messaging is so strong on this. This will inspire
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: cooperation from all these countries where we may be acting
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: in so all of these will be a good thing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: And we'll track this at the end of the year
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: where these overdose tests go.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: And I'm interested, and you know, when you get pushback
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: on this, because the upside is enormous on this, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: the downside is also enormous. I mean, if you don't
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: do this and you continue to let tens of thousands,
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: hundreds of thousands of Americans die, I mean it is
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: this is something that there is a fix to at
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: least there's somewhat of a remedy.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: To this if we go forward.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: And it's almost like we've had four years where we
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: weren't even trying to do something during the Biden administration. Yeah,
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: it's not acceptable because one hundred thousand people of your dying.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: Those are those people, their families, their communities. Everyone in
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: this country is affected by this. So it's time to
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: take it to these cartels. And their good days are over.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: They had their heyday under the Biden administration. But the
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: game is up and the Trump Investation's going after them.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: And I think this is very effective, not only substantively,
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: but I think the messaging is quite clear on.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: This meantime, let's bring the subject back to some action
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: by federal agents in this count Here's DHS Secretary of
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Christy Nolan.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: The debate over so called sanctuary policies has real consequences
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and has consequences for our law enforcement officers, but also
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: for the families that live here in the businesses that
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: are just trying to provide for their community. Governor Pritzker
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: and Mayor Johnson are answering that question every single day
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: of who should be our priority, who should be our responsibility,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and over and over again they're choosing criminals.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Over and over again. They're choosing criminals. Christin Nome is
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: absolutely right. The Democratic Party is choosing radicals, lawlessness, anarchy,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the cartels, and the people that are poising our kids
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: with fetanyl every single day, and President Donald Trump is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: saying very clearly now we're coming after those people, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to go after the cartels wherever they are
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: so that we can protect American interests. And that's exactly
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: why Mexico handed over twenty six top cardtis hell members
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of the US today in a bombshell report, a Democratic
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: whistleblower has come forward a longtime staffer on the House
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee and told the FBI back in December of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, during Donald Trump's first year in office, that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: then Representative Adam Schiff authorized the leaking of classified information
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: during the Russia Gate investigation to discredit President Donald Trump,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: believing that he would be appointed CIA director under a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: potential Hillary Clinton presidency. In meetings, Adam Shift allegedly stated
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the leaks would be used to indict President Trump. When
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the whistleblower objected, others reportedly reassured him that they would
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: not quote b he caught. The whistleblower described a system
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: where sense of material was funneled to Shift and then
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: selectively leaked to the press. One document allegedly seen by
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a small group including Shift and Representative Eric Swalwell. You
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: remember the congressman that was literally sleeping with a Chinese
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: spy was leaked almost verbatim within a day. The whistle
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: blower labeled these actions unethical and potentially treason US and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: sought FBI involvement, though the Department of Justice reportedly declined
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to pursue the investigation further. The White House Press secretary,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: calling the report a bombshell, cigning the newly released FBI
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: documentation about the whistleblower's account. Here's more of what Caroline
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Levitt had to say when she was asked about it
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in the White House briefing room.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: Okay, thanks Caroline. My question involves Russia Gate.
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: A whistleblower alleged that the Congressman Adam Shift approved leaking
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: classified information to smear President Trump's image during the Russia
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: Commut scandal.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: As a president planned to investigate.
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: Adam Shift and what would accountability look like if more
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: information confirms this support. The President has already said he
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: wants to see Adam Shiff held accountable for the countless
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: lies he told the American people in relation to the
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: Russia Gate scandal. I brought Tulca Gabbert out to this
• 13:23
  Speaker 10: podium to talk to you about all of that. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: this administration is taking accountability very seriously. As for this
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: new FBI whistleblower report, I understand cash Pttel last night
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: declassified a three h two FBI document showing that a
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: whistleblower who is a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: worked for Democrats on the House Intel Committee for more
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: than a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: that then Rep. Adam Shiff had approved leaking classified information
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: to smear then President Donald Trump over the Russia Gate scandal.
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: This is obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: in this room will cover it as such. And I
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: have a quote from the FBI director for all of you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: He has said this for years. Certain officials use their
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on.
• 14:35
  Speaker 10: And hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: whistleblower allegation. If this were reversed, if this were allegations
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: against the President or any of these cabinet officials, I'm
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: sure everyone in this room would cover it as such.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Carol I Lovitt, by the way, is absolutely right. The
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: media is not covering the story. Thank goodness, we're covering it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And also they had a very interesting way of covering
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: this at five News on Brett Baar's show. I want
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you to hear the latest of what he had to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: say from Washington other.
• 15:05
  Speaker 11: Store we're following tonight, California Senator Adam Shiff is being
• 15:09
  Speaker 11: accused by a fellow Democrat of leaking classified information relating
• 15:14
  Speaker 11: to the Russia Gate scandal. Ship's office is denying those claims.
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: Senior Congressional correspondent Chad Program has all the details this
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: evening from Capitol Hill.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Treasonous and illegal. That's how a Democratic whistleblower characterized Adam Schiff,
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: accusing him of green lighting the leak of classified information
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: to undercut President Trump during the twenty seventeen Russiagate investigation.
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: The President has already said he wants to see Adam
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: Shiff held accountable for the countless lies he told the
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: American people in relation to the Russia Gate scandal.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: The whistleblower was a veteran House Intelligence Committee staffer. The
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: FBI summary obtained by Fox says Schiff told Aids he
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: would quote leak classified information which was derogatory to the
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: president in hopes of scoring an indictment for the commander
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: in chief.
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: It's beyond unseemly.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: This was just an egregious breach and really a reprehensible
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: act on the part of Adam. Schiff's office calls this
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: baseless smears, saying the whistleblower was quote not reliable, not credible,
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: and was fired. Schiff was the top Democrat on the
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: House Intelligence Committee as it probed possible twenty sixteen election interference.
• 16:25
  Speaker 13: If the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a
• 16:31
  Speaker 13: serious crime, it would also represent one of the most
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: shocking betrayals of democracy in history.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: Schiff, who led the democrats first impeachment of President Trump,
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: now faces an unrelated criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Now it looks like Adam Schiff really did a bad thing.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: They have a Democrats say the GOP is trying to
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: shift the narrative.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Look, this is a nonsense.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: This is an effort to change the subject away from
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: the Epstein files.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: The FBI summary indicates that Schiff hope Hillary Clinton would
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: win in twenty sixteen. Schiff aspired to run the CIA.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Right, can you imagine if Adam Schiff was running the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: CIA what he would have done knowing that apparently he
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: was leaking this type of classified information totally to take
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: down the president of the United States of America. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: when you look back over this issue moving forward, yes,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: there should be accountability. There are some saying, wow, this
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be an issue of accountability, let's just move on
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: from it. If you're saying that, I think you're insane.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Because these people went totally outside of the law. Time
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and time again, they abuse their power to try to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: overthrow the will of the people. And that's exactly why
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the White House reacted to this Democratic whistleblower as a bombshell,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And it's also the reason why the media in general
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is not covering it. Jonathan Turley, breaking down the latest
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: allegations against Adam Shift, had this to say about it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Take a listen.
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: Welcome back Democrat Senator Adam Shift. He's known to shift
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: the narrative, particularly on the Russia collusion hoax.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: This is about as clear evidence you could find of
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: intent by the campaign to collude with the Russians. He
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: may be the first president in quite some time to
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: face the real prospect of jail time. The Russians offered help,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the campaign accepted help, The Russians gave help, and the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: President made full use of that help. The evidence is
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: now overwhelming and unequivocal.
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: There is reporting almost testifying as to evidence linking Donald
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: Trump to Russia. Newly released FBI memos, by the Way,
• 18:46
  Speaker 12: obtained by Fox show a Democrat whistleblower who's accusing Adam
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: Shift of green lighting a leak of classified information in
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: order to damage Trump during the Russia Gate investigation. The
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: source called the following. In the meeting, Shifts stated the
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: of the United States Donald J. Trump. Shift stated the
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: information would be used to indict President Trump. Someone stated
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: this would be illegal, and upon hearing his concerns, an
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: unnamed member of the meeting reassured that certain someone they
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: would not be caught leaking classified information. No weather ever
• 19:26
  Speaker 12: going to get caught woots. FBI Director Cash Pattel posted,
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: we found it, we declassified it. Now Congress can see
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives and
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people.
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: Shift is saying no, no, no, no, Wait a minute, Wait
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: a minute, wait a minute. I'm not guilty of leaking
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: classified information. Those baseless smears are based on allegations that
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: were found to be not reliable, not credible, and uncstantiated
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: from a disgruntled former staffer who was fired by the
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: House Intel Committee for cause in twenty seventeen, including for
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: herrass and potentially compromising activity on official travel for the committee.
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: You want me to think about official travel for the committee
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: when I'm sitting here concerned about you leaking classified information?
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: Joining me now, George Washington University law professor and Fox
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: News contributor Jonathan Turley, Professor's great to see you here today.
• 20:18
  Speaker 12: Leaking classified information that's a potentially very serious charge is
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: it not.
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: It doesn't get much more serious than that. The chairman
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: of the House Intel Committee doesn't have declassification authority over
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: these types of documents. They are made available to Congress
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: under very tightly controlled rules. This has been a source
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: of tension for years, and members of both parties have
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: gone out of their way to assure that this material
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: would be closely held and not weaponized. Shiff was viewed.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: It is one of the most political chairs of that
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: committee in its history, and this is a truly chilling
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: account if true. Now I first read it, frankly, I
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: was taken aback because it's perfectly moronic to commit such
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff. That's
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: not usually how things are leaked in Washington, d C.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: What makes this different, Will is that this was a
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: statement made to FBI agents. The person who made this
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: statement was no doubt aware that lying to FBI agents
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: is not just a crime, but a crime that was
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: repeatedly prosecuted during prior administrations, including the Obama and Biden administrations.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: So making this statement puts you at risk. That's why
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: someone's lying here, and someone's a felon.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: The question now is do you believe Adam Schiff or
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: is Adam Schiff the felon and maybe the liar all
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: at the same time. We're going to keep covering this one.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I can promise you that Donald Trump has done something
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that's truly incredible. Allow law enforcement to do their jobs,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and now Americans are signing up in record numbers to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: get in on law and order. We now have found
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: out that over one hundred thousand Americans have submitted applications
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: for jobs at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement known
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: as ICE, following the launch of a Department of Holaned
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Security hiring campaign in late July. The Trump administration initiatives
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: seeks to add ten thousand more ICE personnel. Because of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the tens of millions of illegal immigrants that are in
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: this country, ICE agents are needed, and now they're offering
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: major perks as well and even easing some of the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: qualification restrictions to make sure that we get incredible people
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that are willing to work within ICE. This is one
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of the best parts of all of what Donald Trump
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: has done. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Nomes stress the significance of the hiring push,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: saying quote. This is a defining moment in our nation's history.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland. No emphasize
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that ICE agents are responsible for deporting the worst of
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the worst criminals from the United States of America. To
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: draw in applicants, ICE is providing sign on bonuses as
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: high as fifty thousand dollars, along with programs for repaying
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: or for giving student loans and additional perks. This hiring
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: campaign occurs amid DHS statistics showing an eight hundred and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: thirty percent surge in attacks on ICE agents, a number
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that no medicated has now climb to one thousand percent
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: because the radical left demonizing law and order. The acting
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: ICE Director Todd Lyons has drawn also attention to the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: difficulties ICE agents are enduring and encountering in the public.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Because of the open border policies of the former Biden
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Harris government, the dedicated men and women of ICE now
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: face unprecedented challenges in removing millions of criminal legal aliens
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: from our country, and that's exactly why they're trying to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: hire ten thousand new individuals now. The ICE hiring portal
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: features various positions such as deportation officer, criminal investigator, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: general attorney, and it also clearly responds to the occupational hazards,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: noting that agents are quote expertly trained and that all
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: possible measures are implemented to protect them. Every candidate for
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: law enforcement position will be subject to health evaluations, substance screenings,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and fitness tests during the recruitment. This is exactly why
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: they've received more than one hundred thousand applicants, because so
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: many people are willing to fight to protect this country
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: when they know the commander in chief is backing them up.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what you're getting from President Trumpe. Share
