Trump Talks Ukraine-Russia Ceasefire plus BIG SCOTUS WIN on Illegal Immigration · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: We've got a very big show for you, and we've
0:03
Speaker 1: got a lot to cover. First up, Donald Trump is
0:06
Speaker 1: talking Russia and Ukraine after having a multi hour conversation
0:10
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin. We'll have the latest on what this
0:13
Speaker 1: could mean moving towards a ceasefire. Also, Biden cancer turning
0:18
Speaker 1: into the big cover up two point zero and now
0:21
Speaker 1: there's a real question about what they knew and what
0:24
Speaker 1: they were hiding from you. Not on the cognitive decline
0:26
Speaker 1: we already know about that disaster in the lie, but
0:29
Speaker 1: about this cancer this time that as well. And finally
0:34
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court allowing Donald Trump administration to revoke amnesty
0:39
Speaker 1: for three hundred thousand Venezuelans.
0:43
Speaker 2: This is a major victory moving forward.
0:45
Speaker 1: Plus, i'll give it up been on James Komi and
0:47
Speaker 1: that you know, innocent eighty six forty seven posts. That's
0:51
Speaker 1: what he called it in an interview. He's just done.
0:54
Speaker 1: We'll play that for you as well. But first let's
0:56
Speaker 1: get back to the Donald Trump and the Russia issue.
0:59
Speaker 1: This was obvious a very big moment is President Trump
1:02
Speaker 1: announced that the Ukraine and Russia war is going to
1:06
Speaker 1: go into negotiations towards a ceasefire and suggested that talks
1:11
Speaker 1: could take place at the Vatican. Donald Trump put it
1:15
Speaker 1: this way on True Social saying quote, I just completed
1:20
Speaker 1: my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
1:23
Speaker 1: I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will
1:26
Speaker 1: immediately start negotiations towards a ceasefire and more importantly, an
1:31
Speaker 1: end to the war. The conditions for that will be
1:35
Speaker 1: negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be
1:38
Speaker 1: because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else
1:42
Speaker 1: would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the
1:44
Speaker 1: conversation were excellent. If it wasn't, I would say so
1:48
Speaker 1: now rather than later. Russia wants to do large scale
1:52
Speaker 1: trade with the United States when this catastrophic bloodbath is over,
1:56
Speaker 1: and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia
2:00
Speaker 1: to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth.
2:03
Speaker 2: Its potential is unlimited.
2:05
Speaker 1: Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on trade in
2:09
Speaker 1: the process of rebuilding its country. Negotiations between Russian and
2:13
Speaker 1: Ukraine will begin immediately. I have also informed President Zelensky
2:18
Speaker 1: of Ukraine, as well as the President of the European Commission,
2:21
Speaker 1: the President of France, President of Georgia, the President of Italy,
2:24
Speaker 1: the Chancellor of Germany, and the President of Finland. During
2:28
Speaker 1: a call with me immediately after the call with President Putin,
2:32
Speaker 1: the Vatican, as represented by the Pope, has stated that
2:35
Speaker 1: it would be very interested in hosting the negotiation. So
2:40
Speaker 1: let the process begin, The President says in his statement,
2:44
Speaker 1: Now Russian Ukraine again will immediately start negotiations towards a ceasefire.
2:48
Speaker 1: That is the big moment here that everyone has been
2:51
Speaker 1: waiting for. And part of what the President's clearly offering is, Hey,
2:55
Speaker 1: if you guys do this deal and stop this war,
2:58
Speaker 1: then we're going to trade with you again. And there's
3:00
Speaker 1: very good chance that many of the sanctions that are
3:02
Speaker 1: hurting your economy will disappear as long as you are
3:05
Speaker 1: a peaceful Nason. After Trump talked with Putine, he spoke
3:09
Speaker 1: with the Ukrainian President Zelenski as well as these other
3:12
Speaker 1: leaders to let them know what they had talked about,
3:15
Speaker 1: because it was in fact a very long conversation. Now,
3:20
Speaker 1: one other thing about this story that I want you
3:22
Speaker 1: to know is what the President actually had to say,
3:24
Speaker 1: in his own words. I want you to take a
3:26
Speaker 1: listen to this from President Trump talking about what happened
3:30
Speaker 1: on this call.
3:31
Speaker 3: Well, I want to thank everybody. We just spent two
3:33
Speaker 3: and a half hours talking to Vladimir Putin, and I
3:37
Speaker 3: think some progress has been made. It's a terrible situation
3:40
Speaker 3: going on over there, five thousand young people every single
3:45
Speaker 3: week of being killed. So hopefully we did something. We
3:49
Speaker 3: also spoke to the heads of most of the European
3:52
Speaker 3: nations and we're trying to get that whole thing wrapped up.
3:57
Speaker 3: What a shame that it ever started in the first place.
4:00
Speaker 1: Now, of course, the media is trying to find some
4:02
Speaker 1: way to say that Donald Trump is bailing on these
4:04
Speaker 1: negotiations after having a more than two hour conversation with
4:08
Speaker 1: Vadimir Putin, right, because you can't give credit for real
4:10
Speaker 1: leadership if you're in the media. So the press asked
4:14
Speaker 1: the president this question about are you guys now taking
4:16
Speaker 1: a quote back seat and walking away?
4:19
Speaker 2: Listen to the present response.
4:22
Speaker 4: I'm called with President Kuton today.
4:25
Speaker 5: You'd mentioned that the Pope would like to take a
4:28
Speaker 5: role potentially and immediating these tasks.
4:30
Speaker 2: Does that mean that you.
4:31
Speaker 3: As is taking a step back from No, no, no,
4:34
Speaker 3: I think it would be great to have it at
4:36
Speaker 3: the Vatican, maybe it would have some extra significance. And
4:40
Speaker 3: I saw that it was discussed yesterday, so I thought,
4:43
Speaker 3: and people told me that they'd be on there to
4:45
Speaker 3: do it, I would imagine they would be, so No,
4:48
Speaker 3: I think it would be maybe helpful. This tremendous bitterness anger,
4:54
Speaker 3: and I think maybe that could help some of that anger.
4:57
Speaker 3: So having it at the Vatican would be in Rome,
5:00
Speaker 3: would be a very I think it'd be a great idea.
5:03
Speaker 3: Thank you.
5:05
Speaker 1: Now, even the media is kind of shocked by the
5:08
Speaker 1: President's leadership on this one. And I say kind of shocked,
5:12
Speaker 1: and I roll my eyes because they shouldn't be. This
5:15
Speaker 1: is part of what the President of the United States
5:17
Speaker 1: of America said he was going to do. He said,
5:21
Speaker 1: if you elect him, he's going to stop these wars.
5:25
Speaker 1: No one should have doubted him when he said I
5:28
Speaker 1: am going to stop these wars. And CNN says Russia
5:32
Speaker 1: state News agency is also reporting that this was a
5:36
Speaker 1: very effective call. I'm sure that was hard for them
5:39
Speaker 1: to admit. Take a listen.
5:43
Speaker 4: We are told that the phone call between President Trump
5:45
Speaker 4: and Russian President Vladimir Putin has ended. That's according to
5:49
Speaker 4: a White House official. I'm going to get straight to
5:51
Speaker 4: our chief international security correspondent, Nick Payton Walsh, Nick, what
5:55
Speaker 4: are you learning?
5:58
Speaker 6: Yeah?
5:59
Speaker 7: This is according to Russian state news agency Tasks, who
6:02
Speaker 7: are giving us the first read out based on comments
6:04
Speaker 7: made by Russian President Vadimir Putin, who emerged from this
6:07
Speaker 7: phone call that he took at a music school in
6:09
Speaker 7: the southern resort town of Sachi to say that it
6:11
Speaker 7: lasted for two hours. He described it as frank and substantive.
6:15
Speaker 7: Noted he said that Trump noted that Russia stands for
6:18
Speaker 7: a peaceful settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. He said
6:22
Speaker 7: Russia is in favor of stopping the fighting, but it's
6:24
Speaker 7: unnecessary to develop the most effective paths to peace. He
6:28
Speaker 7: also said that a ceasefire is possible upon reaching the
6:32
Speaker 7: corresponding agreements, and that indeed a memorandum between Russia and
6:35
Speaker 7: Ukraine may address that particular point. He said also that
6:40
Speaker 7: the meeting in Istanbul we saw last week on Friday,
6:43
Speaker 7: low level Russia sent there, suggests that quote, they're generally
6:46
Speaker 7: on the right track, and he said he was very
6:49
Speaker 7: appreciative of a conversation with Trump and indeed that Russia's
6:53
Speaker 7: ready to work on a memorandum of a future peace
6:56
Speaker 7: agreement and that Russia and Ukraine must find compromises that
7:00
Speaker 7: suits both.
7:00
Speaker 2: Sides, that suit both sides.
7:03
Speaker 1: So you step back from this for just a second,
7:06
Speaker 1: and let's just go to what Donald Trump said, Vote
7:10
Speaker 1: for me and I'm going to bring peace, not World
7:11
Speaker 1: War III. Right, That's what Democrats always want to say.
7:15
Speaker 1: Vote for me and I'm going to bring peace. That
7:19
Speaker 1: is exactly what he's offering here. And the last Trump administration,
7:24
Speaker 1: by the way, hit Russia where it hurt, sanctions, energy dominance,
7:28
Speaker 1: and direct military action when necessary. That's what's gotten them
7:33
Speaker 1: to the table now. Because Putin remembers he also knows
7:38
Speaker 1: that Trump isn't bluffing. That's why he didn't move on
7:42
Speaker 1: Ukraine during Trump's first term. This is exactly why the
7:45
Speaker 1: president United States of America now has the upper hand.
7:49
Speaker 1: This was also talked about today on TV as well,
7:53
Speaker 1: just reminding people the truth about the past.
7:57
Speaker 8: The one strategic mistake that mister Putin made was another
8:01
Speaker 8: brazen attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure. I think that
8:06
Speaker 8: that awakens some in the White House, and it's and
8:09
Speaker 8: it's it's the United States that holds holds all the
8:12
Speaker 8: tools here, both economic and military. The last thing Vladimir
8:17
Speaker 8: Putin wants to do is a return to the first
8:20
Speaker 8: Trump administration, when his economy was broken by sanctions and
8:25
Speaker 8: a low price for oil. He pegged his economy to
8:29
Speaker 8: one hundred dollars a barrel. When Trump finally unleashes the
8:33
Speaker 8: energy power of the United States, we're going to see
8:36
Speaker 8: oil come back down again. And Putin will also know
8:40
Speaker 8: that Trump can turn off the spigots to his banks
8:44
Speaker 8: and isolate him in that in that regard, and do.
8:47
Speaker 2: You think, I mean, you just have to stop there.
8:49
Speaker 1: And you hear this, Vladimir Putin knows what happens when
8:54
Speaker 1: you screw with Donald Trump. He also knows what happened
8:57
Speaker 1: the last time he was president, and it absolutely didd dismantle,
9:03
Speaker 1: straight up dismantle is economy. Why do you think he's
9:06
Speaker 1: come to the table now. It's because of you go
9:09
Speaker 1: back to Ronald Reagan. Power through strength, and that's exactly
9:14
Speaker 1: what he's doing right now. It's now the month of May,
9:18
Speaker 1: and eighty years ago this very month, the horror of
9:21
Speaker 1: the holocausts, the final solution came to an end. But
9:26
Speaker 1: do you know that half of all Holocaust survivors live
9:30
Speaker 1: in Israel. The pain of the past now intensifies today
9:35
Speaker 1: by October seventh and the rise of anti Semitism everywhere,
9:39
Speaker 1: and along with other elderly Jews, thousands in Israel lived
9:44
Speaker 1: below the poverty line.
9:46
Speaker 2: There's no safety net.
9:48
Speaker 1: That's why I support the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
9:53
Speaker 1: and the Fellowship provides a lifeline to these precious ones
9:58
Speaker 1: in the form of basic things like hot meals and
10:01
Speaker 1: boxes full of healthy food. And for only twenty five
10:06
Speaker 1: dollars you can out provide a nutritious food box to
10:11
Speaker 1: a Jewish person in need in Israel. Better yet, three
10:15
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars provides hot meals for.
10:18
Speaker 2: An entire year.
10:20
Speaker 1: So if you are ready to stand with the people
10:23
Speaker 1: in Israel, give generously by calling eight eight eight four
10:28
Speaker 1: eight eight if CJ that's eight eight eight four eight
10:33
Speaker 1: eight four three two five, or go online to give
10:38
Speaker 1: it if CJ dot org.
10:41
Speaker 2: That's if CJ dot org.
10:44
Speaker 1: I want to move now to the Supreme Court and
10:47
Speaker 1: a massive victory for Donald Trump and his administration to
10:51
Speaker 1: revoke amnesty for three hundred thousand Venezuelans. The Supreme Court
10:56
Speaker 1: allowing President Donald Trump to end the Temporary Protected Status
11:00
Speaker 1: known as TPS amnesty for more than three hundred thousand
11:04
Speaker 1: Venezuelan migrants. It was an eight to one ruling, a
11:08
Speaker 1: massive win for the Trump administration and for the rule
11:11
Speaker 1: of law. The majority justice granted the emergency application filed
11:15
Speaker 1: by the Trump administration that requests the court lift in
11:18
Speaker 1: order from a California based US District Court judge named
11:24
Speaker 1: Chen that prevented the administration from revoking the TPS protections
11:29
Speaker 1: for one hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants. Here is
11:34
Speaker 1: how they explained it on ABC News.
11:37
Speaker 9: And Breaking News to bring you right now. The Supreme
11:38
Speaker 9: Court giving the Trump administration the green light to terminate
11:41
Speaker 9: Temporary Protected Status for about three hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelans.
11:46
Speaker 9: That means no more protection from deportation and allowing them
11:49
Speaker 9: to work legally in the US. Lawyers representing the government
11:53
Speaker 9: argue a lower court decision undermined the executive branch and
11:57
Speaker 9: its authority over immigration and foreign affairs, and the conservative
12:00
Speaker 9: majority on the court agreed. Our immigration reporter and producer
12:04
Speaker 9: Armando Garcia joining me. Now, so these protections they're over,
12:08
Speaker 9: So what comes next? Can they still appeal or are
12:12
Speaker 9: deportations coming?
12:13
Speaker 10: Now? Look, that's exactly what three hundred and fifty thousand
12:18
Speaker 10: Venezuelans are asking themselves right at this moment. They're asking
12:22
Speaker 10: whether or not am I still here in this country legally?
12:24
Speaker 10: And perhaps most importantly for their families? Am I still
12:27
Speaker 10: able to work legally in this country and provide for
12:30
Speaker 10: my family? They don't know, and we got to remember
12:32
Speaker 10: that on the way out the door, the bid An
12:33
Speaker 10: administration chose to extend TPS protections for Venezuelans. When the
12:37
Speaker 10: Trump administration came into office, they eliminated that extension. That
12:41
Speaker 10: meant suddenly that hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who thought
12:44
Speaker 10: they were going to be protected from deportation, who thought
12:46
Speaker 10: that they were going to be able to work legally
12:48
Speaker 10: in this country until October twenty twenty six. Some of
12:51
Speaker 10: them lost their status in April. Others are set to
12:54
Speaker 10: lose their status in September. Right now, I'm sure they're
12:56
Speaker 10: wondering what exactly comes next.
12:59
Speaker 9: So you had a chance to speak with a lawyer
13:01
Speaker 9: representing TPS holders in the case. What did they tell you?
13:06
Speaker 10: And look, this is moving on so quickly. We're actually
13:09
Speaker 10: expecting to hear from the lawyers any minute now. In
13:11
Speaker 10: a press conference, I did speak with one of the
13:13
Speaker 10: main litigators representing TPS holders in this case, and here's
13:16
Speaker 10: what he said.
13:17
Speaker 2: I thought this was a very stunning quote.
13:18
Speaker 10: He said, this is the largest single action stripping any
13:22
Speaker 10: group of non citizens of immigration status in modern US history.
13:25
Speaker 10: That the Supreme Court authorizes action in a two paragraph
13:28
Speaker 10: order with no reasoning is truly shocking. And I think
13:32
Speaker 10: we have to remember also that not only is TPS
13:34
Speaker 10: Venezuela on theline, TPS Haiti, Cameroon and other countries are
13:39
Speaker 10: sure to follow. So this is major implications for them.
13:42
Speaker 10: They're wondering if the Trump administration can on a whim
13:44
Speaker 10: abruptly and protections for Venezuelans, what does that mean for me?
13:48
Speaker 9: Armando Garcia, appreciate you bringing us the breaking news.
13:53
Speaker 1: Yet again, another massive victory for the President of the
13:56
Speaker 1: United States of America. And you look at this and
14:00
Speaker 1: again it goes back to the application for stay that
14:02
Speaker 1: was presented to Justice Kagan and by her referred to
14:07
Speaker 1: the Court as granted. The brief order says the March thirty, first,
14:11
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five ordered entered by the United States Syster
14:13
Speaker 1: Court for the Northern District of California. This was a
14:16
Speaker 1: liberal judge and a liberal court trying to take away
14:19
Speaker 1: the power of the presidency. Quote is stayed, penning a
14:23
Speaker 1: disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of
14:26
Speaker 1: Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
14:27
Speaker 2: Now.
14:28
Speaker 1: In a press release, the Immigration Reform Law Institute Executive
14:31
Speaker 1: Director and General Counsel Wilcox noted that the Supreme Court
14:35
Speaker 1: has repeatedly recognized that President Donald Trump's inherent authority to
14:41
Speaker 1: exclude aliens aka illegal immigrants. The Supreme Court has repeatedly
14:47
Speaker 1: recognized the president's inherent authority to exclude aliens, and inherent
14:51
Speaker 1: clearly means he may exercise it even when he is
14:55
Speaker 1: not guided by a specific statue. This is what the
15:00
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is now said.
15:02
Speaker 2: Quote.
15:02
Speaker 1: Litigation regarding the matter will continue in lower courts. One
15:06
Speaker 1: of the attorneys who's representing the migrants, the illegal immigrants,
15:10
Speaker 1: describe the decision as being quote the largest single action
15:14
Speaker 1: stripping any group of non citizens of immigration status in
15:19
Speaker 1: modern US history. My response to that is, well, good,
15:23
Speaker 1: this is exactly what people wanted. And if you talk
15:26
Speaker 1: about what's been happening with illegal immigrants. You just go
15:29
Speaker 1: back to Tom Homan and what he had to say.
15:31
Speaker 1: Take a listen.
15:33
Speaker 5: The morale of ICE and Borbital's at all time high
15:36
Speaker 5: because they're getting to uphold the old they took and
15:39
Speaker 5: they're enforcing the law. Borbitual and the Biden administration. I
15:43
Speaker 5: met with Hunter Zom. They felt like uber drivers and
15:45
Speaker 5: tourist agents. These men and women joined the ranks of
15:49
Speaker 5: ICE and Borbitue to enforce law, meet the community safer,
15:52
Speaker 5: and protect national security. I hear it all the time.
15:56
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people in this country don't like me.
15:58
Speaker 5: Many people walking up to me and thank me for
16:00
Speaker 5: what I'm doing it and I'm not taking credit for
16:02
Speaker 5: anything the success of the border and immigration enforcement. It's
16:05
Speaker 5: President Trump and the men and women are wearing that uniform.
16:09
Speaker 5: God blessings she every one of them. But I take
16:12
Speaker 5: a pleasure in seeing it because in forty years of
16:16
Speaker 5: doing this job, people always want to say, why are
16:17
Speaker 5: you so emotional? And when he testsified, why are you
16:20
Speaker 5: so emotional? On a network? Because they wore my shoes
16:23
Speaker 5: for forty years, they don' understand why emotional. I've talked
16:25
Speaker 5: to the little girls as young as nine years old
16:27
Speaker 5: or breat multiple times by the cartel members. And when
16:31
Speaker 5: you get to your knees and you talk to that
16:32
Speaker 5: little girl and everything innocent and pure has been ripped
16:34
Speaker 5: from her. When you listen to the lake and arriety
16:37
Speaker 5: seventeen mens, that young lady fighting for her life, don't
16:41
Speaker 5: just think, okay, a young woman died. Think of how
16:44
Speaker 5: she died, the terror that she went through. And these
16:46
Speaker 5: children are sexy assaulted. I stood back attract eailer in
16:50
Speaker 5: nineteen dead people at my feet, that baked to death.
16:54
Speaker 5: The illegal migration is not a victimus crime. And so
16:57
Speaker 5: every sick person we take off the streets as bestly
17:00
Speaker 5: child rapists, That makes us country much safer. Every illegal
17:04
Speaker 5: and when we arrest public safety threat one at a time,
17:07
Speaker 5: makes us country savor.
17:09
Speaker 2: Homan, by the way, is exactly right.
17:11
Speaker 1: This is all about saving people's lives, protecting people, and
17:15
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said it very clearly back in February when
17:19
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christyenome revoked one of
17:22
Speaker 1: two of these TPS designations for Venezuelan migrants. Per CBS
17:29
Speaker 1: News the time, the move by the Trump administration will
17:31
Speaker 1: mean that an estimate three hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelans
17:35
Speaker 1: covered under a twenty twenty three TPS designation will lose
17:39
Speaker 1: their work permits and deportation protections two months after NOMES
17:43
Speaker 1: decision is officially published. Venezuelans enrolled in TPS under an
17:48
Speaker 1: earlier twenty twenty one designation will continue to have that
17:52
Speaker 1: status through September, though those protections could also be phased
17:58
Speaker 1: out now nomes are evocation of the amnesty for thousands
18:02
Speaker 1: of Venezuela migrants comes after the former Department of Home
18:05
Speaker 1: Wind Security Secretary of my Orcus extended the TPS amnesty
18:09
Speaker 1: for almost a million illegals, yes, until twenty twenty six.
18:16
Speaker 2: So this is about going back to law and order.
18:20
Speaker 1: If you go back to what my Orcis did, and
18:24
Speaker 1: this was the headline at the time, so you understand it,
18:26
Speaker 1: said Joe Biden's Border chief, Graham's amnesty to eight hundred
18:29
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand migrants. You go back to when this happened.
18:33
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden's pro immigration border chief has extended temporary
18:37
Speaker 1: amnesty for eight hundred fifty thousand illegals and quasi legal
18:40
Speaker 1: economic migrants until twenty twenty six, further suppressing American wages
18:45
Speaker 1: and spiking their rents. The eighteen month expansion of the
18:48
Speaker 1: Temporary Protection status known as TPS amnesty was announced by
18:53
Speaker 1: the outgoing Border chief Alejandro Maiorchis. What day was this
18:58
Speaker 1: January the tenth, so ten days before Donald Trump was
19:03
Speaker 1: going to be sworn in. They knew they were screwing
19:06
Speaker 1: the voters who voted for the opposite of this, and
19:08
Speaker 1: they didn't care.
19:10
Speaker 2: Quote.
19:10
Speaker 1: The beneficiaries included two hundred and thirty eight thousand illegal
19:14
Speaker 1: migrants from Al Salvador, who first got their status after
19:19
Speaker 1: a two thousand and one earthquake that wrecked their home
19:21
Speaker 1: nation's economy. So two thousand and one is how long
19:25
Speaker 1: they've been playing this game out. The small nation's economy
19:29
Speaker 1: is now growing amid the successful suppression of gang crime
19:32
Speaker 1: by the nation's popular president. There So my Orkis's press
19:35
Speaker 1: statement blamed bad weather for his refusal to send the
19:38
Speaker 1: economic migrants back home.
19:40
Speaker 2: I'm not joking literally, they said it was bad weather. Quote.
19:44
Speaker 1: El Salvador's extension is based on geological and weather events,
19:49
Speaker 1: including significant storms and heavy rainfall. In twenty twenty three
19:53
Speaker 1: a year earlier, and twenty twenty four again in the
19:57
Speaker 1: last year that continued to affect area he's heavily impacted
20:01
Speaker 1: by earthquakes from two thousand and one. Translation, we're importing
20:06
Speaker 1: migrants at record numbers, and we wanted to give the
20:08
Speaker 1: middle finger to the voters and the Trump administration ten
20:11
Speaker 1: days before he sworn in, and we were going to
20:14
Speaker 1: screw the American people like we did for the last
20:16
Speaker 1: four years. And that is exactly why Marcus decided to
20:19
Speaker 1: do this. It's truly truly incredible. There's a man by
20:24
Speaker 1: the name of James Comy. He's a former FBI director,
20:28
Speaker 1: and there's one thing that's very clear from his tenure,
20:30
Speaker 1: and that was that he had a bullseye on Donald
20:32
Speaker 1: Trump and anyone else around him. Well, now Senator Tom
20:36
Speaker 1: Cotton is asking the FBI Director Cash Battel to investigate
20:41
Speaker 1: everything James Comy did at the FBI. The Sentence Intelligence
20:46
Speaker 1: Committee chairman has formally asked the FBI Director Caspattel to
20:51
Speaker 1: investigate James Comy after the disgrace, ex FBI leader posted
20:56
Speaker 1: a cryptic message of eighty six forty seven on social media,
21:02
Speaker 1: which was interpreted as a violent threat against President Donald Trump.
21:07
Speaker 1: James Comy, who served as the FBI director after being
21:10
Speaker 1: appointed by Barack Obama until he was fired by Trump
21:13
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, took to Instagram on Thursday to share
21:17
Speaker 1: a photo of seashells arranged that read eighty six forty
21:22
Speaker 1: seven and yes. The number eighty six is a common
21:25
Speaker 1: term used in the hospitality industry, as well as in
21:29
Speaker 1: the military and intelligence communities, which can mean canceling an
21:33
Speaker 1: order or to kill, murder, or execute judicially, according to
21:39
Speaker 1: how it is used in the dictionary. Kmy deleted the
21:42
Speaker 1: post after receiving accusations that he was calling for the
21:46
Speaker 1: assassination of the president, and issued a statement which read
21:50
Speaker 1: this way quote. I posted earlier a picture of some
21:53
Speaker 1: shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I
21:56
Speaker 1: assumed were a political meta. I didn't realize some folks
22:02
Speaker 1: associated keywords. Some folks associated those numbers with violence. It
22:07
Speaker 1: never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind,
22:11
Speaker 1: so I took the post down now. Patel announced that
22:15
Speaker 1: he had been made aware of Komy's suspicious posts, stating
22:18
Speaker 1: that his bureau is in communication with a secret service
22:22
Speaker 1: and the director there Sean Kuran, the same man that
22:25
Speaker 1: was there protecting the president when that assassin tried to
22:28
Speaker 1: take him out, shooting his ear. Primary jurisdiction is the
22:32
Speaker 1: Secret Service on these matters, and we the FBI, will
22:36
Speaker 1: provide all necessary support, Patel also said, Homeland Security Secretary
22:41
Speaker 1: Christy Nome also confirming that the Department of Homeland Security
22:45
Speaker 1: and the Secret Service are quote investigating this threat and
22:49
Speaker 1: will respond appropriately now. The Director of National Intelligence, Tolci Gabbert,
22:54
Speaker 1: also appeared on Fox News with Jesse Waters to say
22:57
Speaker 1: that Komy should be put behind balls, as she described it,
23:01
Speaker 1: for issuing a direct threat against the president, and on Friday,
23:05
Speaker 1: that's when Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to Patel
23:07
Speaker 1: officially asking him to review all FBI actions in which
23:12
Speaker 1: the former director Komy was personally involved. Cotton's letter also
23:16
Speaker 1: went on to note that Komy has quote politicized investigations,
23:20
Speaker 1: been at the center of leaks, and obviously shown bias
23:24
Speaker 1: against the Trump administration and supporters. The Intel Chair also
23:28
Speaker 1: brought up Trump's own response to Komy's alarming Instagram posts,
23:33
Speaker 1: which he issued during a portion of an interview that
23:35
Speaker 1: aired on Fox News. According to the President eighty six
23:38
Speaker 1: forty seven was a call for an assassination, saying this,
23:43
Speaker 1: he knew what that meant. A child knows what it meant.
23:48
Speaker 1: If your FBI director and don't know what it meant,
23:51
Speaker 1: that meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear.
23:55
Speaker 1: He wasn't very competent, but competent enough to know what
23:58
Speaker 1: that meant. He did it for reason, and he was
24:01
Speaker 1: hit so hard because people like me and like, what
24:05
Speaker 1: is happening in this country? All this he is calling
24:08
Speaker 1: for the assassination of the president. Trump went on to
24:11
Speaker 1: add this, I don't want to take a position on it.
24:13
Speaker 1: It will be up to Panbondy and all the great people.
24:16
Speaker 1: I will say, I think it's a terrible thing when
24:19
Speaker 1: you add his history to that. If you had a
24:21
Speaker 1: clean history, he doesn't. He's a dirty cop. If he
24:25
Speaker 1: had a clean history, I could understand if there were leniency,
24:29
Speaker 1: I will let them make that decision. Cotton quoted the
24:32
Speaker 1: President and the letter to tell writing in the words
24:35
Speaker 1: of President Trump, he knew exactly what it meant. The
24:37
Speaker 1: Center also commended the quick launch of investigation by the
24:41
Speaker 1: Secret Service and thank the FBI for also offering support.
24:45
Speaker 2: Now, you may not know why.
24:46
Speaker 1: James Comy may have actually posted this on social media.
24:50
Speaker 1: It may be as simple as he actually just wanted
24:52
Speaker 1: to sell a bunch of books, as one of his
24:54
Speaker 1: other posts was about a new book coming out. Well,
24:57
Speaker 1: James Comey was forced to go on MSNB let me
25:00
Speaker 1: see to push out more state sponsored propaganda.
25:04
Speaker 2: And here is what he said about all of this.
25:06
Speaker 10: You were back in the middle of a political firestorm.
25:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife. So
25:13
Speaker 6: I don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred
25:14
Speaker 6: to me that it was.
25:15
Speaker 1: By the way, I love how James Comy says he's
25:18
Speaker 1: now being persecuted for walking along the beach with his wife,
25:22
Speaker 1: and yet here we are.
25:24
Speaker 2: And then he says, it never occurred to me it was.
25:27
Speaker 6: Any kind of controversial thing. But that's the time we
25:30
Speaker 6: live in.
25:30
Speaker 4: So take me back to the walk.
25:32
Speaker 2: On the beach.
25:32
Speaker 6: We were walking on the beach. We went to the
25:34
Speaker 6: beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch
25:36
Speaker 6: of my book, and to think about the book and
25:38
Speaker 6: to prepare to ask answer questions about it. And we
25:41
Speaker 6: were walking back towards the road and we saw in
25:44
Speaker 6: the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers, and Patrice,
25:48
Speaker 6: my wife, said, why would someone put an address in
25:50
Speaker 6: the sand? And I said I don't know. And we
25:52
Speaker 6: stood over it and I said, you know, I think
25:53
Speaker 6: it's some kind of like political message, and she said,
25:56
Speaker 6: you know eighty six. When I was a server, she
25:58
Speaker 6: did a lot of work in restaurants. Meant to remove
26:01
Speaker 6: an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients.
26:03
Speaker 6: And I said, well, to me, as a kid, it
26:05
Speaker 6: always meant to leave a place to ditch a place.
26:08
Speaker 6: I said, that's really clever. So then she said, you
26:10
Speaker 6: just take a picture of that, and I did, and
26:12
Speaker 6: I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing
26:16
Speaker 6: more of it until I heard through her that people
26:18
Speaker 6: were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination,
26:21
Speaker 6: which is crazy. But I took it down. Even if
26:24
Speaker 6: I think it's crazy, I don't want to be associated
26:26
Speaker 6: with violence of any kind.
26:28
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, that's the story that
26:30
Speaker 1: he's telling. It doesn't mean it's real. And this is
26:33
Speaker 1: a guy that lies and hates Donald Trump. I don't
26:35
Speaker 1: feel sorry, by the way, for James Comy. I think
26:38
Speaker 1: he knew exactly what he was doing, and as Donald
26:40
Speaker 1: Trump said, it'll be up to the great people beneath
26:42
Speaker 1: him decide what happens next.
26:45
Speaker 2: And we'll keep you updated.
