U.S. Military Targets Cartels in Mexico plus DOJ Emails Reveal Biden’s Flawed Mass Pardons · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: On January the twentieth of this year, President Trump signed
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: an Executive Order fourteen fifteen seven establishing a process to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: designate international cartels as foreign terrorist organization also known as
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: ftos or specially designated global terrorists, recognizing them as national
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: security threats. One month later, on February the twentieth, the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: US Department of State officially designated eight Latin American criminal groups,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: including major Mexican cartels like the Sinaloa Cartel, the Gulf Cartel,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Northeast Cartel, United Cartel, to name a few, as terrorist organizations. Now,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: these designations allow for intensified legal actions, including sanctions, asset freezes,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and broader enforcement under anti terrorism laws. This is something
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that the President is saying he's going to start using
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to his advantage. We are now getting reporting from Ken
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Klippenstein that the military is preparing attacks on Mexican cartels.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: In fact, he's claiming now they are secret orders that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: are being worked up to directly target cartels as the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: new terrorice frontier. His reporting says this Trump administration has
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: now directed the military to prepare for lethal strikes against
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: cartel targets inside Mexico. Three military sources are now confirming
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to them. The top secret planning order issued in late spring,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they say, directs the Northern Command known as Northcom to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: manage the attacks, which are to be ready by mid September.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: The US Mexican military relations are broad and cooperative. Any
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: military action south of the border is considered extremely sensitive for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: both Washington and the Mexican federal government and is rarely
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: discussed in public. Not only is Donald Trump uniquely focused
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on transnational criminal organizations the official names for the cartels,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: having designated them terrorists in one of his first executive orders,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but he has shown himself to be willing to take
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: unilateral action despite potentially negative political ramifications with Mexico. That
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is what one senior intelligence official said for the report.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He and other sources say the military action could be unilateral,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that is, without the involvement or even the approval of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the Mexican government, and that would make sense because the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Mexican government is bought and paid for by the cartels
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and is extremely extremely corrupt and infiltrated with cartel influence
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: everywhere the government goes. Now, the unprecedented order was discussed
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: apparently at a July meeting at NORTHCOM headquarters, in Colorado Springs.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The reporting is now saying that was led by Colby Jenkins,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the unconfirmed Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Low Intensity Conflict. Within days, the reporting now says General
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Gregory Gullett, commander of Northcom, hosted the two highest ranking
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Mexican military officials and made sure they knew what was
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: going on with our problems with the cartel, saying this today,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: more than ever, the challenges we face demand a joint,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: coordinated and adaptive response. That's what Morales said after the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Colorado visit, trying to impress upon Pentagon and military leaders
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: let any potential operation be conducted by two nations together.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Now again, why would this come from one of the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: top officials in Mexico, Because they don't want America actually
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: going after the terrorists. To address extreme political sensitivities and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to honor, the report says Mexico sovereignty. Operations inside Mexico
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: have previously been conducted by the CIA and the Joint
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Special Operations Command known as JAYSOK, the clandestine arm of
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the US military that has been involved in targeting killings
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East. For example, The New York Times
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: has reported that the CIA has increased reconnaissance operations over
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Mexico with its own drones, another indicator of increased preparations
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for operations quote. NORTHCOM was previously sidelined in any Mexico planning.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: The conventional special operations components mostly involved in joint training
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: whether Mexican counterparts on non lethal missions at sea and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: also how to stop drug shipments, where they're now being
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: tasked with trying to figure out what they can do
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in a much larger magnitude. That is what one senior
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: intelligence officialist said now. One reason is that prospective attacks
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: have also have to be court with intelligence communities at large,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: for example, the FBI and various homeland security agencies such
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: as Border Patrol and ICE, who all now are focused
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on Mexico instead of our wide open border that's been secured.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: They can now go back to this job. We also
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: are being told that NORTHCOM is already involved in Mexico
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in a host of ways, including combating the cartels. We
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: also have one general from Mexico alluding to this in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a recent testimony, saying that yes, there is cooperation with Mexico.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It is already closer than any point in history. Quote unquote,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: so here we are, and that looks like the president
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is moving forward, which brings me back to the CBS
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: reporting when Donald Trump and his administration labeled the Mexican
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: drug cartels as domestic terrorist organizations. Now you'll understand more
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of the context.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Take a listen of an now to a monumental moment
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and the war on drugs. The Trump administration has officially
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: designated Mexican drug cartels as domestic terrorist organizations. The Acting
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is voicing strong support
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: for the move, turning out a CBS News Department of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Justice correspondent, Scott MacFarland, Scott, thanks so much for being
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: with us. What else do are we hearing today from
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the head of the DEA.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: His name is Derek Maltz, and he is making this
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: argument that this new designation that Latin American drug cartels
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: are terrorist organizations is going to help them marshal a
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: lot more resources and ability to stop or at least
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: slow some of the drug trade into America, into American
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: communities where fentanyl is killing users. It's killing innocent victims
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: who are nearby and exposed to the toxic chemicals of fentanyl.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Even killing babies and law enforcement officers who come near
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the stop. So they're trying to get aggressive about this,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and some of this designation offers some new tools the
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: DEA hopes their effective tools. Critics say they could be counterproductive.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: But among them is that foreign terrorist organizations are not
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: just targeted by the US government, but so to be
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the people who provide support for terrorist organizations, people who
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: funnel the money. If you starve the money, some of
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the money from terror groups, perhaps you cut them off
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: a bit. But there's concern, Liz, that if you make
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: it a crime to give money to a drug cartel,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: you could be knocking down those who are victims of
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: the cartels, those who need the protection of cartels to
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: seek asylum in America, those who unknowingly send money to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: families south of the border who they don't realize they're
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: associated with cartels. Is also the concern, Liz, that you
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: could dry up some of the sources America has on
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the ground inside the drug networks.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So now the big question is what will this look
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like moving forward. Well, let me give you a couple
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: examples of what all is being thought about. Number One,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: there is a real need to counter Chinese influence and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: also investment in Mexico, thwarting Russian influence as well and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: operations and stemming the flow of drugs, the precursor chemicals
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and even weapons of mass destruction components that have also
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: moved through Mexico. And that's why Northcom has tasked its
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: subordinates Special Operations Command called SUCK North to undertake operational
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: preparation of the battle space inside Mexico to set the stage,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: they say, for future military operations and to prepare cartel
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: related target packages for potential strikes and direct action attacks
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: on ground against high value individuals as well as compounds
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and supply chain targets associated in particular, we're now being
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: told with a Cinela cartel direct attacks could also involve
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: air and drone strikes. We're also being told that direct
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: action is a term space special operations forces used to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: describe small scale offensive operations that would be carried out
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: by Army green berets, Navy seals or marine raiders. Think
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of the air strikes on Iran this summer as kind
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of a direct action against a discrete target with a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: strategic or national purpose. Now there is no doubt a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: major difference when it comes to Mexico, the political sensitivities involved.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: We share a border with them. Mexico is a very
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: different country than Iran, and you have to have a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: US cooperation in many ways with Mexico. So here we are,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and the reality is Donald Trump has said it's time
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to go after the cartels to keep Americans safe, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it looks like the planning is well underway. We have
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: new breaking news and it deals with former President Joe Biden.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He ignored. We're now being told the Department of Justice's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: warnings over legally fought autopen pardons. Senior Justice Department officials
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: were left scrambling to quote interpret the sweeping clemency orders
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: former President Joe Biden approved for thousands of federal convicts
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in his final days and final hours in office, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they chastised the White House for falsely portraying the releases
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: as limited to quote nonviolent offenders. This, according to internal emails,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: have now been revealed. The records obtained by the Oversight
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Project and reviewed by The Washington Examiner, now reveal that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: former Associate Deputy Attorney General, the department's top career official
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: at the time, Bradley Weinsheimer, raised alarms immediately after, Biden
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: issued three autopin sign warrants on January seventeenth, covering only
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: two thousand, five hundred inmates were now learning. In a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: January eighteenth message to the White House Council and the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice Office of the Partner Attorney, Weinsheimer wrote
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that one warrant granted clemency for offenses described to the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice was so vague it could not be
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: lawfully even carried out quote unquote. He went on to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: say at the time, I think the language is highly problematic,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: adding that to interpret the document properly, we will need
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a statement or direction from President Biden. He also suggested
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that Biden provide quote a list as to each inmate
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: listing the offenses that are covered by the commutation, which
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: he described as the clearest and least problematic alternative. Moving forward,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Weinsheimer and Biden needed to clarify the meaning of the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: warrant language quote unquote so the DOJ could implement it
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in the manner intended they claim by President Joe Biden.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Here is an exact quote from the email. It said this,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Given the above, I think it is best that we
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: receive a direct statement on direction from President Biden as
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to the meaning of the warrant language. This will then
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: allow us to give full effect to the commutation warrant
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and the manner intended by the President. And the absence
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of such a statement or direction, I am concerned Option
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: three above will be the interpretation that is given to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the warrant. While that is a logical construction, legally it
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: can't possibly be what the President intended, so I would
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: like to avoid that outcome. One other important note the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: email says communication about the commutations, the White House has
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: described those who receive commutations as people convicted of nonviolent
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: drug offenses. I think you should stop saying that because
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it is untrue or at least misleading. As you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: even with the exceedingly limited review we were permitted to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: do of the individuals we believe you might be considering
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: for commutation action, we initially identified nineteen that were quote
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: highly problematic. That was based only upon running our initial
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: priority list against the list of those who had submitted
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: clemency petitions, a small percentage of the overall total from
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the White House. Even in that number, we identified violent offenders,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: including those who committed acts of violence during the offense. Now,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: this is a screen shot of a much longer email
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: exchange that came from Weinsheimer on January eighteenth. This email
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was directly warning the Biden White House that its language
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: about clemency subjects was quote untrue or at least misleading.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Weinsheimer also warned the ambiguous order could unintentionally wipe away
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: convictions for many violent felons. He pushed back against the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: White House messaging that the clemency recipients were only nonviolent
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: drug offenders. That's not true. Among them, for example, was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Russell McIntosh. Now, this is not someone you would ever
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: describe as a quote nonviolent drug offender. How do we
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: know this? Russell killed a woman and her two year
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: old child to protect his drug business. Stephen Fowler, whose
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: enforcer tortured an informant with a butty torch, and Plays Anderson,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a gangster's disciple member, was implicated in multiple murders and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: multiple kidnappings. This according to a commutation's receipt page from
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. Now all of the people I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: just named those are not nonviolent drug offenders as the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: White House claimed. And despite these warnings, the White House
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: release a statement in Biden's name, touting the mass commutations
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: as relief for quote, non violent drug offenses and saying
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it was the largest clemency action in US history that
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: we apparently were supposed to celebrate it well. In July,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in the interview with The New York Times, I want
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to remind you, Biden insisted he personally made all clemency decisions,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: calling Republican claims that AIDS misused the auto pen ridiculous
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: end quote false. Now, amid scrutiny of his aide's use
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of the automated signature device to place his name on
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the pardon documents, Biden said he approved broad categories of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: inmates and left staff to apply those standards, defending using
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: an auto pen as a practical tool to process the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: sheer volume of cases. However, the doj emails illustrated that
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: inside of Biden's administration, officials were at least at the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: very least very uncertain about what Biden was actually ordering
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: them to do, and were forced to openly challenge the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: accuracy of the White House's public explanation about what they
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: were executing. Now Weinsheimer, previously accused of loyalty to Biden,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: administration he has had warnings, by the way, are notable.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Why because given his long reputation as quitte, a non
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: political DOJ official, a career ethics lawyer, he was previously accused,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: in fact, by Republicans of playing it behind the scenes
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: role in shaping what critics derived as Hunter Biden's sweetheart
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: plea deal while his father was the President of the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: United States of America. So you need to know that
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to put it in perspective. In fact, according to multiple reports,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Weinsheimer met directly with the first son Hunter Biden's Defence
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Council in twenty twenty three. This is a move that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: raised questions about whether the DOJ's leadership was actually undermining
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: former US Attorney David Weiss's purported independence in that entire case. Now,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: his career at the DOJ ended with a partisan dispute
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: in February, shortly after Donald Trump returned to office, the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: administration reassigned him to a new sanctuary Cities task force.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Rather than accept the politically charged assignment, Weinsheimer accepted a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: federal employee buyout, part of a broader wave of career
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: officials who resisted what they viewed as attempts they claim
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to politicize the DOJ's work altogether. So if you look
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: at exactly what we now know, it is clear that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: there were efforts that are happening right now to recover
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: additional records related to the Oversights Project's pursuit of the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: internal DOJ emails to the White House, and that is ongoing.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And also the email exchange that we just mentioned it
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was revealed on Tuesday, we now know was released by
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the Office of Ed Martin, that is Trump's appointees serving
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: as the US part Attorney and head of the DOJ
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Anti Weaponization Group. So yes, even more evidence is coming
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: out that not only did Joe Biden ignore his own
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice warnings over his legally fawed auto pen pardons,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: but they just didn't care and they were giving them
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: out to people that were violent criminals, not non violent
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: offenders as the White House claimed in the final days
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: in office. All Right, I want to take a moment
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: talk about the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Wall Street. You've seen what's been happening with interest rates,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Why because there is uncertainty all over the world right
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: now and when there is uncertain times, you want real
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: answers about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals,

  Speaker 4: behind the jerrymandering all over the country and democratic states
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: may become even clearer now because of the data we're
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: now seeing. There's a news study out that says that
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Democrats are losing registration race in all thirty states attract
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: party affiliation. In fact, four point five million voter swing
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: now towards the GOP. And that's exactly why you're seeing
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom saying we're gonna gerrymander our entire state, the
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Democratic Party is hemorrhaging support with no end in sight,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: according to the shocking analysis of new voter registrations. Now
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: this is all being fueled by President Donald Trump's big
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: gains among men, younger voters, and Latinos. In twenty twenty four,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: for the first time since twenty eighteen, according to a
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: report from The New York Times, which relies on voter
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: registration data compiled by L two, a non Parson data firm.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Perhaps more troubling for Democrats, the data suggests Democratic Party
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: activists can no longer rely on the party's tried and
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: true methods to reverse the trend, leaving panic party leaders
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: and pundits unsure how to well resurrect the party's electoral prospects,
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: and the numbers are staggering. Quote of the thirty states
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: the track voter registration by political party affiliation, Democrats lost
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: ground to Republicans in every single state between twenty twenty
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: and twenty twenty four elections, and often by a lot. Quote.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: That four year swing towards the Republicans added up to
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: four point five million voters a deep political hole that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: could take years for Democrats to climb out from, which
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: goes back to why are Democrats doing what they're doing now? Well,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: it's clear when they're this far behind, they need to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: change something quickly. That could include counting illegal immigrants right
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: in these to help them with the election map. He
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: could also be giving them amnesty so that they could
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: vote quickly for them. And then there's the other problem
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that Democrats have. Who is actually running the Democratic Party?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: What do they stand for? And why are they so
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: against the American people and putting illegal immigrants ahead. These
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: are all questions that Joe Biden should have dealt with,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party should have dealt with, and what do
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: they do? They alienated Americans? And so the takeaway is this,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: we now have the data that clearly Donald Trump was
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a messenger that the American people wanted. He talked about
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: putting Americans first instead of illegal immigrants. He talked about
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: securing the border instead of having open borders. He talked
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: about law and order instead of having lawlessness. And that's
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: exactly why the Democrats right now are in so much
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: trouble with and even the New York Times admitting that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump fundamentally changed the election map, quite possibly for
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: years to come. Don't forget share this podcast Please with
