Trump Declares War on DC Crime as Media Spins plus Trump Expands Immigration Crackdown in Red States · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Democrats doubling down on the idea that Donald Trump has
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: gone rogue insane in taking over control of police law
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: enforcement in Washingt d C. Now, to be clear, this
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is not something that he can do in other states
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: or cities without there being some sort of cooperation.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: DC's very different. We all know that.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The media, however, is trying to say that Donald Trump's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: about to just take over everywhere and anywhere he wants.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: That is not exactly what the President's trying to do
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: at all. In fact, Donald Trump did say this about
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: other cities that are paying attention to d C.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: We're going to have a tremendous success in what we're doing.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Other cities are hopefully watching this. They're all watching, just
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: like everyone's watching here. They're all watching, and maybe they'll
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: self clean up and maybe they'll self do this and
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: get rid of the cash list bail thing and all
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: of the things that caused the problem. I mean, if
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: you go back, this whole thing with cash list bail
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: is a disaster. So many problems came that we we
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: never had before. So they're watching us today, and if
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: they don't learn their lesson, if they haven't studied us properly,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: because we're going to be very successful. I have a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: zero doubt about that. It's going to be say, a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: question of will would be really fast.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Like the border.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You notice the President clearly is playing chess. Why is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: he talking the way he is about all of this.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He's doing it because he's sending a message that it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: going to prove a point that having adequate law enforcement,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: backing that law enforcement and allowing them to do their
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: job is how you clean up a city. And Washington,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: d C. Is the nation's capital. It should be the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: safest city in all of America. Stephen Miller making also
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this point at the White House about how dangerous DC is,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: comparing it to Bagdad in Iraq.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: The President has been very clear that he's going to
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: take the action necessary to secure the city of Washington
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: for the people who live here, for all the American
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: people and all who visit here is our capital city.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It is more violent than Baghdad.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: It is more violent than parts of Ethiopia and parts
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: of many of the most dangerous places.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: In the world. It's really shocking.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: If you should look at the graph that has been
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: shown comparing parts of some of the most dangerous field
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: states in the world. Compared to d C, DC is
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: more violent, and so he's going to do what's necessary
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: to make sure our nation's capital is safe for all Americans.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, fact check it. Go ahead, check and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: see if Washington, d C. Is more violent than Baghdad.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: The answer will be yes. This is what democrats are
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: hoping you will not believe, hoping that you will just
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: look the other way and not see the reality of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: exactly what is happening right now now. The President also
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: making it clear that because the federal government is now
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in control of Washington, d C, it also denies DC
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: their sanctuary city status. Tom Homan saying that on Fox
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: News Channel, where now this allows for him to work
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: with Ice and also to work to get illegal immigrant
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: criminals out of the city.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Quickly, let me ask you about the DC situation, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: does the fact that there's National Guard there Now it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: a sanctuary city like sanctuary cities across the country, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: it's unique in that it has federal control and now
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: you've got National Guard on the ground side by side
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: with Ice. Does that combination basically negate the sanctuary city
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: status in Washington, d C. At least for these thirty
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: days in terms of what you can do there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Tom, Yes, I think DC under fire. The control is
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: now going to be a sanctuary city. We're working with
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: the police hand in hand. We encounter a criminal illegal
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: alien that we turned over ice, and that's where should be.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not saying every illegal alien in DC
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: is a criminal, but many are. So these are people
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: won't focus on it. Illegal alien criminal safety threat in
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: DC is not going to be protected. There's no sanctuary
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: for these people in the city of DC.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: There is no sanctuary for these people in DC.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So you look at all of this, And now we're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: hearing from the former Capitol Police Chief Stephen Son, who said,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the bigger picture here shows that the media and Democrats
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: are actually lying. Democrats are trying to convince you that Washington,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: d C. Is a very safe place, that there's not
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a crime issue, and that crime is falling drastically, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is just trying to grandstand over what Democrats
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: have somehow done to make Washington, DC safe. Yes, it's absurd,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but that's what they're trying to sell. Now, the bigger
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: picture shows Seek's crime is actually on the rise. That's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what the former Capitol Police chief said during an interview today,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the day after President Trump announced he's placing the DC
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control and activating the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: National Guard to restore law and order to the nation's capital.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Sun explained that there are several agencies working together to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: secure DC and highlighted that Trump is a very very
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: detailed oriented person, saying, quote, in case people don't know that,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it is not uncommon for him to be driving in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a motor kid and realize, hey, street lights are out,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: or look at that, or look at that graffiti and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: make a notification on it. This is how detail oriented
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the President actually is. So for him to see some
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of the crime that's happening in some of the assaults
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that are occurring.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And Navy Yard is.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Just six blocks south of the Capitol, short distance from
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the White House, it's a big area to see these
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: gangs of youth kind of taking it over. It doesn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: surprise me that they're now going to pull these federal
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: resources together and form a task force, explaining, Look, we've
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: done this before, saying quote, we did this in the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: early nineteen nineties when I was with DC Police. We
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: were able to drive down homicide rates when the chief.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: When heir was chief, think that was about twenty ten,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, we had a homicide rate that was maybe
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: right around one hundred, one hundred and seventy year. Now
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three you got two hundred and seventy four homicides,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: so you had a significant increase. He said, this is
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the big problem, and this is why the present is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: having to do what he's doing now. So when people
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: talk about, oh, hey, there's a big drop, as the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: DC mayor has tried to claim that the number of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: homicides is somehow down in twenty four from twenty three
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and so therefore everything's fine. That's what the DC narrative
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: has been pushed by the mayor Bowser. It doesn't add
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: up with reality, he said, quote so when people talk about,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: oh there's a big drop, there's a drop from twenty
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: three to twenty four, but you look at the overall rate,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's still significant double the number of murders that we
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: had in twenty ten. That's what the former police chief
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of DC pointed out. Explain that there used to be
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a time when the crime really stated in certain neighborhoods.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Now it's everywhere. Now it's all throughout the city. So
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: they're going to deploy into these areas and really focus
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: focus on crime, focus on your most violent offenders, your
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: repeat offenders. He continued, urging officials to zero in on
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: juvenile crime, which Democrats have in essence, sanction those under
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: eighteen to do whatever they want. Quote, They've always historically
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: been very soft on punishment on juvenile crime, and the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: concern with it is if you don't begin to address
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: behavior at a young age, it's just going to get worse.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Emphasizing that the DC homicide rate is five to six
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: times that of any other major city in the United
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: States of America, which brings us back to the big
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: point about why is the mayor of DC fighting this, Well,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. She hates Donald Trump and she doesn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: want to be seen as someone that actually is a failure.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: That's why the DC mayor Bowser is in denial. Trump's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: plan to combat crime in our city is quote unsettling
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and unprecedented. She said, Well, the Democratic mayor is in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: denial about what has happened under her watch in a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: crime ridden city, asserting that President Trump's view of the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: nation's capitalists quote shaped by his COVID era experience during
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: his first term, and claiming that crime has already been
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: robustly addressed. Deeming Trump's actions, as I mentioned, unsettling and unprecedented.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Bowser kicked off the press conference and the positive elements
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of DC, repeatedly calling it quote beautiful Washington, DC is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a beautiful city, a magnificent city, possibly saying these words
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to try to mock Donald Trump. We're home to seven
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand Washington Washington residents. We welcome millions of visitors
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: every year from around our nation, around the world. We
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have the nation's premier park system, she claims, fantastic public schools.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: The data doesn't back that up, by the way.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And then she says, including a free and row US
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: pre K program starting at age three. We have a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: tremendous public transportation system. She went on to brag, which,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, people are now afraid to use quote.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It's very important to me that for all who live
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: here and visit here, just know how beautiful our city
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is and how proud we are of all the accomplishments here,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: reminding listeners of the quote basics, saying quote, we're unique
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in other ways as well, though We pay taxes. In fact,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: we pay more than most states per capita. We're not
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a state. We don't control the DC National Guard, we
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: don't have siners or full autonomy. Limited home rule gives
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the federal government the ability to intrude on our autonomy
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in many ways, she said, before delving into Trump's move
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to address crime in the city. I've seen this before,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I've said it before, and I'll repeat it. I believe
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that President Trump's view of DC's shaped by his COVID
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: era experience during his first term. And it's true that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: those were more challenging times really to some issues. Is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: also true that we experienced a crime spike post COVID,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: but we worked quickly to put laws in place and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: tactics that got violent offenders off our streets and gave
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: our police officers more tools, which is why we've seen
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a huge decrease in crime. So is there actually a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: huge decrease in crime? The answer is also no. She's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: lying to you, Yet she continues to say, quote because
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of those efforts, we've been able to reverse the twenty
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: twenty three crime spike this year alone, bragging the DC
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is at a thirty year violent crime low.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, that may be true.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It's still way more violent than the majority of American cities,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and you're way more likely to be killed there than
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: even in Baghdad. And that is exactly why Donald Trump said,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I'm taking over. I'm not waiting on you to do
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: your job you should have done a long time ago.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: The nation's capital has been overtaken by violent gangs, bloodthirsty criminals,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: roathing mobs of wild youth, drugged out many acts, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: homeless people. And we're not going to let it happen anymore,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Trump said during his press conference, yet again putting law
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: abiding citizens first. All right, I want to take a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: moment talk about the economy. You've been seeing what's happening
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: on Wall Street, You've seen what's been happening with interest rates,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Why because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and when there is uncertain times, you want real answers
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals,

  Speaker 1: Elliott Precious Medals, Smarter Metal Investing starts with them. It
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: is democrats biggest fear. Law and order returning state by
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: state and states now working with the Trump administration and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: ICE officials. Specifically, we now have three states that have
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: signed a new agreement with ICE for quote expanded immigration
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: enforcement operations. These three states include West Virginia, South Dakota,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and Arkansas, all signing the agreements with the Department of
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Own Securities, US Immigration Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: ramp up immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the first one. The governor there, Patrick Morsey, announced a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: robust collaboration under Section two eight seven G of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Immigration and Nationality Act. This agreement enlists the West Virginia
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: State Police, Corrections and Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to assist ICE in immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: legal immigrant, you don't want to be in West Virginia
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: right now now. Under this task force, structure, officers can
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: quote interrogate anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: two process immigration violations for individuals already rested for other offenses.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Three conduct warrantless arrests if an in individual is seen
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and suspected to be a flight risk pending a warrant.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Four serve immigration warrants, administer oas, collect fingerprints and gather evidence.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And five issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: facilities before transferring them to ICE custy under federal supervision.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: You look at what has happened in South Dakota. The
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: governor there, as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a public safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Highway Patrols support ICE with the rests announcing it today.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: The National Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: as well, and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: identify undocumented individuals within state prisons, and parole them into
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: ICE custody.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: You then move to Arkansas.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Governor Sarah Huckabee, said, former White House pre Secretary under
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, signing the Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act, which
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: definitively increases penalties for undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: again saying to illegal immigrants, you don't want to be
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in Arkansas. It also, with this new agreement, allows sheriffs
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to apply for the two to eight to seven G
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: authority to serve immigration warrants on those already in custody,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and Sarah Uckebee Centers announcing this enables the Arkansas State
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Police to stop individuals in public, inquire about immigration status
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now, if you think
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example, in Arkansas,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: there is training required, a forty hour online course covering
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues, as well
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: as liability. Doing this in a responsible way. Now you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: may be asking what is ICE two eight seven G program. Well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: let me explain to you the broader context of how
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this is being used by the Trump administration. The program
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: enables state and local officers, after ICE provided training, to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: carry out certain immigration enforcement duties under ICE supervision. That
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: is why there's a collaboration here and why they are
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: having to sign on to the program. Now, as of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: August thirteenth, ICE has executed eight hundred and ninety seven
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: agreements across forty states, including various models such as jail enforcement,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: warrant service, and task force operations. The Trump administration has
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: significantly accelerated these partnerships, growing from around one hundred and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: thirty five to over seven hundred agreements in early twenty
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: twenty five alone.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Of course, the left.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Is going insane, warning that the surge is a risk
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: to quote civil rights community trust and invites, they say,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: racial profiling, even though none of these programs have anything
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to do with that. Now, you also may be asking yourself,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: why am I not quoting the president right now when
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you about this initiative, Well, the President clearly
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: is playing chess on the issue. In fact, the White
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: House has had no public statement or reaction regarding these
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, mainly
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: because they want this to be clearly seen as state
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: led that these governors are opting in. And that is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: exactly why the administration is being so successful in getting
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: this done with so many different agreements, because they're not grandstanding.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: They're just trying to fight crime, and it's clearly working.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And when you also take a listen to West Virginia's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: governor responding to the Trump administration's position on immigration force
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and entering into this agreement, and what he says it's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: going to do for his state, and also why so
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: many other states should get involved.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: We always thought that when you're talking about the Biden
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: border disorder, which is what occurred for four years, that
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: the best way to deal with it is to have
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: a partnership between the states and the federal government. Now
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: you're seeing that with the Trump administration, which is incredible.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: So West Virginia has actually entered into the two to
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: eighty seven g program and so we're working hand in
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: hand with ICE to identify illegal aliens and make sure
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: that they can get deported.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: And this is.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Really important to do because, as President Trump said yesterday,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: when you actually remove a lot of these illegal aliens
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: from the system, you're going to see a reduction in crime.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: That there are a number of people we found it
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: even in West Virginia. Murderers, attempted murder, sexual assaults, all
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: different types of crime. None of the states need it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: Now we have a partnership with the Trumpet administration and
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: it's fabulous. I know that I've talked to a Homeland
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: Security secretary, Christy Nome. I've praised her for her We're
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: trying to work together with them because it takes states
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: working with the federal government to make sure that we're
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: kind of reasserting our position and stopping all the horrific
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: consequences of what happened with the illegal immigrants coming in.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: I know in West Virginia we really felt the impact
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: of that through the massive amount of death that flowed
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: from fetnyl that flooded into our state, originally from China,
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: went through the Mexican drug cartels, made its way into
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: the US. I think you're seeing a very different and
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: a much more successful approach, and I'm glad that our
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: state is a part of that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: One of the most important things that was said there
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: by the West Virginia governor was how he said West
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Virginia had quote become an effective border state due to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the massive FETNOH problem caused by illegal immigrats. The federal
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: outbreak in West Virginia has been catastrophic, especially on young people.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons why the governor said
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he's so eager to work with ICE because of how
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: many lives he believes he's going to be able to save. Now,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the National Guard and the State police will have quote
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: task force authority and that is going to be huge
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and going after the drug traffickers. Why, it gives them
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the authority to interrogate any person they believe to be
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: an I legal immigrant as to his right to remain
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: in the US now under the supervision or direction of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the federal government, meaning ICE agents. Officers will also be
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: able to process immigration related violations for those arrested for
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: state or federal offenses. This is going to allow the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: governor and his team to actually be able to do
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: what they need to do. It also allows for them
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to have quote warrantless arrests of any illegal immigrant in
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the officer's presence or view if that person is believed
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to be a flight risk in the interim of obtaining
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a warrant. So the governor they are authorizing the state
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: law enforcement to serve immigration warrants, administer os, and collect
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: evidence for required alien processing. This will allow for fingerprinting
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and suspect interviews to be done. Now, this is also
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: going to have a huge impact just on the psyche
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants and cartel members in West Virginia because
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: now they understand that virtually anyone in law enforcement now
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: can do the job they need to do to find
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: out who they are and stop them, something that was
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: not happening under the Biden regime. And that's why the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: President's being pretty quiet about this, because it's happening in
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: real time, and he's letting the governors lead in these states.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: It is the traditional August recess. It's happening right now
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Congress is back in their districts
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in theory, tending to business of listening to the constituents.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there isn't anything going on with the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: House Auto Pen probe. In fact, it's uncovering a lot
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: about the Biden White House. Even as Congress is on
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: their traditional recess. The House Oversight Committee, i've been told today,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: is still investigating the LEDs cover up of former President
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's decline. The former president insisting he was responsible
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: for quote all decisions that came out of the White
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: House during his time in office, and former staff members
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: claim they saw no obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer discussing the committee's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: investigation to whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: deterioration of the former president. Now, there's also been the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: question of precedent. What is the autopen like in the past.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Can you compare how other government officials use the autopen
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: in contrast to how it was being used when Joe
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Biden was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously in
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the investigation. Well, former Speaker of the House new Gingrich
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: set down with my good friend Mark Levin and he
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: was asked about the autopen when he was a Speaker
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: of the House signing legislation and how big of a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: deal it was to use the autopen, How seriously was
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the autopen taken, and how much was it also protected
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: from abuse. I want you to hear what new Gingrich
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: had to say to Levin.
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: Luke Gingrich question, when you were Speaker of the House,
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: bet you took the requirement that a president actually be
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: present when a bill was signed very very seriously. I
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: certain bills are brought they're brought in a special way,
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: they're handed to somebody specifically. There's a whole process set up.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: these bills or if he was present when the bills
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: were signed.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: Well, we put it that way. Sure, Look, these people
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: are corrupt, irresponsible, and happy to exploit the nation for
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: their own game. So given those kind of people, who
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: knows what they might do? I think it does raise,
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: as you have brilliantly done in this show today, it
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: raises a very big question about whether or not these
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: laws are in fact laws. Remember the founding fathers understood
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: that you had to have a pretty strict series of
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: rules or the whole system breaks down into a kind
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: of corruption which undermines the rule of law. The rule
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: of law requires rules, and one of those rules is
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: that the president signs bills. Now he can direct an
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: auto pen for things that are ceremonial Christmas cards for example,
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: and ought to be signing these things. And when you
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: learn that Biden was signing thousands of commutations in the
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: last few days of his administration, you know he didn't
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: have a clue what was going on. You know, we
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: have no idea what the deals were, why those people
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: were given commutations, or if in fact they were legal.
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: So I do think there's a profound question here, and
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: probably the Congress and President Trump should really write some
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: more restrictive rules about what it takes to get a
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: bill to actually be a law.
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: It's interesting New Camrich when I went back and looked
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: at Madisone's notes and looked at some of the other
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: essays and comments on that they spent a lot of
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: time on this. They spent a lot of time on
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: this signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: the sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: back then it was this guy is the president. You know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: these laws. We in Congress were going to spend our
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: time doing all this and send.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: It to him.
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: We're concerned at some he might hijacket somebody might sign it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: And there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: be present. I mean, let me ask you that is
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: it really asking a president too much to sign the
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: damn bills or to be present when the bills are signed.
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: I mean, if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: kind of prove the point?
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: after some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: you walked us through. I mean, when you read the
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: very clear Biden clearly was incompetent. Sometime I can't say
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: any given date, but sometime in twenty three it should
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: have been obvious to every person who was dealing with
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: him that he was no longer competent to be president.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: And I agree with you every one of these cabinet
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: they should frankly be stuck with that that these are
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: people who will fully cheated the American people and allowed
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: a phony presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: the most important. She became an effect of the acting
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: president of the United States.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: You listen to the claim there by new Gingridge, and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: it's a very interesting one. He's saying that, in essence,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the first Lady was actually the President of the United
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: States of America, the de facto president.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: She was elected by no one.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And if that is true, then who else was involved
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: in this cover up or coup, depending on how you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: want to describe it. There's also another aspect of the story,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and that is the Biden regime. Right, they're out of office,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: but they're still tight. The Biden crime family now is
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: doing everything they can to change the narrative, which brings
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: us to the former President Joe Biden. In a New
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: York Times interview, Biden has now asserted that he quote
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: personally made every clemency and pardon decision, even though an
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: auto pen was used to apply us signature on many documents.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: To the massive volume involved. Translation, I'm giving you a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: really good story, an alibi to why I wasn't signing
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: it myself, the President said, quote I made every single
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: one of those. He elaborated that he set the categories
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and standards for pardons and commutations and communicated with each
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: decision to aids who executed the mechanics of signature writing
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: via auto pen. Again, this is what Joe Biden is
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: saying to the New York Times.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Biden also defended the practice as legal end quote typical,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: noting that many other presents, including Trump, have used auto pins.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: He emphasized it was simply a matter of handling quote
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of people. Responding to critics, Joe Biden
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: also called allegations of misuse politically motivated distractions, saying, quote
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: their liars, they've done so badly, they've lied so consistently,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the best thing they can do is focus on something else.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Biden also mentioned he issued preemptive pardons to his family
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: members to show them from what he expected would be
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: politically driven legal attacks, specifically from Donald Trump.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Guess what.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: The only people that have gone after people politically and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: attacks has been the Democratic Party, who went after Donald Trump.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly why they had to give these preempted
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: pardons out now. Biden's remarks came amid ongoing congressional investigations
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: by both the House and the Senate Republicans. These inquiries
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: are well, they're simple. They're examining whether the autopen was
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: used appropriately or whether Biden or his aides had sufficient
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: involvement in the decisions. His former White House physician, as
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I talked about earlier on the show, Kevin O'Connor invoked
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to fit Amendment when called to testify. Now, the Trump
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: White House, via the Secretary Caroline Levitt, launched its own investigation.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Coordinating with a Justice Department. They reviewed tens of thousands
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of documents from NARA and anticipate examining up to a
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: million more to determine whether Biden retained proper control of
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the autopen or succeeded authority to staffers or maybe his wife.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Levitt harshly criticized Biden, calling him the worst, most incompetent,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and senile president, and suggesting that he relinquished executive power
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: to unelected aids or even family members.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Now, let me also just remind.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: You of what the President said in his own words
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: on the autopen scandal. He's been very clear that he
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: believes that Joe Biden was not running the country, that
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't know what executive orders or even laws
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: may have been signed at the end of his administration,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and certainly didn't know who was getting clemency or pardons
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in his last days and hours in office. It's also
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: interesting that Joe Biden signed his own family's pardons personally,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: using his signature, not the autopen, pointing to the fact
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: that he was so paranoid about the Biden crime family
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: being protected and covered, but for everyone else, it was
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: like he wasn't even at the will to even be asleep.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: The autopen was being used by countless other individuals, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: who knows how much corruption there was around it. Here's
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: President Trump in his own words, I mean, you're talking.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: About the autopen.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Look, the autopen, I think is maybe one of the
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: biggest scandals that we've had in fifty to one hundred years.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: This is a tremendous scandal. And I know the people
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: on the other side of the desk a resolute desk.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately he used it before me. But you know, we
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: have our choice of seven desks were all beautiful, but
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: I chose the resolute and so did he. Unfortunately. But
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: the people on the other side of the resolute desk,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I know them, Lisa, the Hall Group, and then no
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: good is sick people. And I guarantee he knew nothing
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: about what he was saying. I guarantee it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what this investigation is going to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: all about. The President making it clear they're not backing
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: down and they are going to investigate it and find
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: out exactly who was running the country and that person
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: was clearly not elected by any Americans. Now I asked
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: for Congress, well, the House and the Senate doing their
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: own investigations individually. There are going to be a lot
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: of people that are going to want to answer questions,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: or maybe a lot of people that don't want to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: answer questions, depending on what your role was within the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Biden regime. As for the former staffers, you can expect
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: more of them to take the fifth and not say
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a word because afraid of incriminating themselves and probably going
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to jail. Don't forget share this podcast please with your
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: family and your friends wherever they are, and I will
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: see you back here tomorrow.
