Kansas Governor playing the Liberal hits again w Bathroom Politics plus Iranian War Games in Hormuz · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

  Speaker 1: So you know, the Democratic Party has been obsessed with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files ever since they thought it could actually
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: somehow hurt Donald Trump.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Now, they didn't.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Actually push to release the files. They just wanted to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: imply that Donald Trump was somehow involved in nefarious activities
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that didn't happen.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: The Epstein files.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Of course they wanted to use to hit Republicans, saying
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: they were trying to hide something or protect a bunch
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of Republicans. Well, now we know that the majority of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the people that are listed in the Epstein files are
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: actually a bunch of woke, radical lefties. I just want
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to say that to put in perspective that the Democratic
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Party hasn't changed at all. And if you thought they
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: were changing and caring about children and victims, then they
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing what I'm about to tell you. The
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: newest headline is proof of just how evil the Democrats
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: actually are. Democrat Kansas governor has decide to step forward
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and make sure she protects the sickos more than ever before.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The governor there, Laura Kelly, has vetoed a Republican led
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: bill on Friday that mandates people use restrooms according to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: their biology rather than their self proclaimed gender identity Republican lawmakers,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: who dominated both the House and Senate in the state,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: are planning to try to override the veto. Local news
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: reports are now saying, quote, instead of standing with the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of Kansons on this issue, the governor chose
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to appease her most radical supporters at the cost of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: women and girls in our state. That is what the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Republican House Speaker Dan Hawkins said in a statement. Now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the bill passed with more than two thirds support of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the state House and Senate, meaning supporters have a good
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: chance of overriding Kelly's veto enforcing the bill into law.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It just codifies social norms, is what Republican State represented
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Bob Lewis said after the bill passed and before the veto, saying, quote,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: when people go into bathrooms or locker rooms, there's just
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: an expectation that it'll be single sex, meaning if you're
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a dude, it's only dudes, and if you're a chick,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's only chicks. Kelly said in a statement, the bill
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is poorly drafted. Of course, the governor would say that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and could have an implications, she claims beyond bathroom use,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: saying quote, I believe the legislature should try and stay
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: out of the business of telling Kansons how to go
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to the bathroom and instead stay focused on how to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: make life more.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Affordable for Kansas. She said.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The bill would specifically require government buildings, which include public
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: schools and universities, to separate bathrooms and locker rooms by
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: bio logical sex.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: More well written you could make this bill, but of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: course the governor's looking for any lie to say, I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: going to veto it. Those who violate the law would
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be fined or sued for one thousand dollars and could
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: be criminally charged for repeatedly using facilities that do not
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: match their biological reality.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: There are some expectations children would be allowed in opposite
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: sex restrooms up to the age of eight, as long
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: as a caregiver is with them. Coaches would be allowed
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in opposite sex locker rooms as long as everyone is clothed,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: according to the report. Another part of the bill would
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: bar Kansas residents from changing the sex marker on their
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: state issue driver's license and birth certificates, per the report.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Now in twenty twenty five, the state legislature was able
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to successfully override a veto from Kelly to pass a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: law banning sex change drugs for miners. That law is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: now being challenged in state court because of the governor,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: which goes back to the core principle that I mentioned earlier.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: If you think the radical left is giving up on
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: turning kids into the opposite sex or mutilating their bodies,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you're just wrong. Kansas Republicans were forced to override the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: governor and ban gender affirming care for miners. Is how
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: MPR led with their headline recently saying, quote, after several
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: years failed attempts, Kansas Republican lawmakers muster the votes necessary
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to override Governor Laura Kelly's veto and force a gender
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: firming care ban for miners in the law. Now, notice
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: how MPR writes that, And yes, your tax dollurs are
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: going to this type of writing, And what an MPR
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: do there? They said it was several failed attempts, Like
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they're crazy. They had to get a super majority to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: override the veto, let's be clear, in a matter of days.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: The article goes on to say transgender miners in Kansas
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: might lose options for hormone treatment surgeries and other care.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Notice time MPR refers to it as care instead of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: body mutilation. Republican lawmakers overrode the veto to put a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ban on gender affirming healthcare into law on Tuesday. As
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: with similar efforts in the past year, the Democratic governor
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Laura Kelly vetoed the bill. Notice, the governor doesn't care
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: what the people want. When you get two thirds of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a legislature that approves something, it's amazing that a governor
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: would veto it because she's clearly not listening to the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: constituents in her state. Clearly she doesn't care about that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Proponents said the ban is a common sense measure to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: protect children from irreversible decisions. In a Floridabate, Representative Angelas
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Steins called gender dysphoria among teens a social contagion. We
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: know children and adolescents lack the emotional and cognitive maturity
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to consent to treatment that may have life long consequences,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the elected officials said. But, of course Democrats made it
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: clear they don't care if adults advocate for a child
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: mutilating their own bodies. Of course, they want you to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: believe that a child can choose and know the long
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: term decision making and the consequences from it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: That is obviously a lie.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So why are they so obsessed with this and for example,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: forcing you to allow a man into your child's bathroom
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in school, or a locker room or to place they
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: work out.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's very simple.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: The reason is because they are obsessed with the LGBTQI
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: plus plus plus agenda. No matter what the people say,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: no matter what the people reject, no matter where the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: people draw the line, the radical left is sold out
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for mutilating children, even if it means irreversible consequences for
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a child who may decide later in life they maybe
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: want to have a child, or maybe they didn't really
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: want to transition from a girl to a boy. So
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: why is the governor doing this in Kansas? It's for
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: one reason. This is what the Democratic Party has become.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: This is what they believe in, and they're not backing
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: down anytime soon. I want to move to another update
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for you of what's going on in Iran right now.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of other news that has taken over,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but what's happening in Iran is extremely important when it
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: comes to national security. We're now being told that Iran
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: has launched war drills in the straight of her moves
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: as US carrier is flying missions twenty four to seven
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: before the Geneva talks this week, the Irgc Navy has
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: conducted what they say is smart control of the strait
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of her moves, and this is ahead of the key
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: nuclear discussions. Here's more on that from Fox News Channel
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: about exactly what all we now have in the Middle East.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Another aircraft carrier now en route to the Mid East,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: adding to the already very robust US presence there. This
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: comes as American Iranian diplomats get ready for another round
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: of key nuclear talks face to face tomorrow. Chief National
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin Fourth Life from the DC Newsroom.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Hijennifer, Hi, Jillian, Well, it's hard to imagine the US
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: or Israel carrying out military strikes in Iran before the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Olympics end on February twenty second. You'll remember that Putin
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: invaded Crimea after the end of the Sochi Olympics in
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: twenty fourteen, and again sent one hundred and fifty thousand
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: troops into Ukraine after the closing ceremony in Beijing four
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: years ago. Right now, all eyes are on Geneva, where
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Iran's Foreign minister met with the head of the IAEA,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Raphael Grossi today ahead of nuclear time talks with the US,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: vowing to quote achieve a fair and equitable deal, adding
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Iran will not submit to threats. The talks will focus
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: on the nuclear issue and not address Iran's massive ballistic
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: missile stockpile or regime change, as Israel and hundreds of
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: thousands of Iranian protesters around the world demanded over the weekend.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Police estimated five hundred and seventy thousand protested in Toronto
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: on Saturday, the largest ever rally by the Iranian diaspora ever,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty thousand Iranians in Los Angeles heated
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: the call of exiled leader Resapavlavi to protest against the regime.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: We have to make a deal otherwise it's going to
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: be very traumatic, very traumatic.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: I don't want that to happen.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: With talks as a backdrop, the US has deployed a
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: second aircraft carrier strike group, the USS Gerald R. Ford,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: will join the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: The soon as the USS Ford can arrive from the
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Caribbean would be next Monday. One third of the US
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Navy's deployed naval assets are now headed to or deployed
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: in the Middle East, a similar build up to what
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: we saw before the Venezuela strike.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: The Ford has.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Been at sea since June, the longest any aircraft carrier
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: has ever been at sea. It's three hundred and twenty
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: one days or ten and a half months. That was
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: during COVID. All eyes now are on the eighteen f
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: thirty fives that left Lakenheath Air Base in the UK
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: en route to the Middle East. Accompanying them are a
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: number of KC one thirty five air refueling tankers each
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: side attempting a bit of gunboat diplomacy with Iran's Revolutionary
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Guard Corps holding military drills in the Strait of Horne
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Moves today. Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the Strait
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: of Hormus in retaliation against any attack, which of course
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: would choke a fifth of global oil flows and send
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: crude prices sharply hired.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Jillian, So you listen to that, and Iran launches a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: live fire naval exercise and they're threatening to shut down
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the Strait of her Moves that is their leverage. That's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: basically all the leverage they have because toe to toe
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: their military doesn't send a chance against ours.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: The drill, called Smart Control of the Strait of Her
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Moves was led by the naval forces of the Islamic
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard you know in them as the IRGC, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it came under the supervision of the Commander in chief,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the Major General Muhammad Pakpoor, according to Iran International Now.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: State media also said the exercise was organized to assess
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the readiness of operational units, review security plans, and rehearse
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: scenarios for responding to any security or military threats in
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the area. The exercise came within hours of renewed diplomatic
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: efforts starting in Geneva, basically saying you're going to bring
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: all your military assets to this part of the world. Fine,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we'll show you what we can do. Think that's going
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to have any impact on Donald Trump or the US military.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I am in Geneva with real idea is to achieve
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a fair and acuable deal. Is what the Iranian Foreign
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Minister wrote on x Monday. What is not on the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: table submission before threats? President Donald Trump has ordered this
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: build up of the US military forces in the Middle East,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: much like exactly what happened when we went into you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: guessed it, Venezuela, and it's threatened to strike Iran if
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: its leadership does not agree to a deal on its
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: nuclear program. On Friday, Trump also offered an endorsement of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: regime change in Tehran and said it would be the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: best thing that could happen for Iran and the Iranian people.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: US Central Command or SYNCOM, went on to show US
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: military presence in the region on Monday as well, making
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it very clear that we're not messing around, putting out
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a tweet saying the EA DASH eighteen G growlers from
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Electronic tax Squadron WON thirty three and the F thirty
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: five S Lightning from Marine Fighter Squadron one to fourteen
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: prepare for launch on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: operating in international waters in the Middle East. The aircraft
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: carry conducts around the clock. It is very clear that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the President is wanting them to understand in Iran, we're
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not messing around either. The Pentagon has also been building
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: up what Trump has ascribed as an armada in the region.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: The USS Abraham Lincoln is present and It's flanked by
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: three warships equipped with Tomahawk missiles and is at the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: center of a broader US naval build up in the region. Meanwhile,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Tehran said the second round of talks would be held
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday with the Mediation and Good Offices of Oman.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Negotiations restarted on February the sixth, after previous talks collapsed
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: when Israel launched an unprecedent bombing campaign against Iran in
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: June that sparked a twelve day war and escalated tensions
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: across the region. On Monday, US Ambassador to Israel Miake
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Kakabee said there was quote significant and legitimate doubt that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the Iranians will ever agree to something that would cause
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: them to lay down any ambitions of nuclear weaponry. Trump
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: also told reporters on Monday, I'll be involved in those
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: talks directly, and they'll be very important, and we'll see
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: what can happen. He added, I would say they're bad
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: sending the B twos to knock out their nuclear potential.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I hope they're going to be more reasonable. They want
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to make a deal now.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Doland. Trump also made it very clear.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: As he was on the tarmac reiterating before he got
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: on Air Force one when he was asked a question
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: by a reporter, do you want regime change in Iran?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: The President said this again.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: There's huge change in or on.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Well, it seems like that would be the best thing
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: that could happen.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: But for forty seven years they've been talking to talking
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to talk. In the meantime, we've lost a lot of
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: lives while they talk and legs blown off, arms blown off,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: faces blown off, has been going on for a long time.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: So let's see what happens in the meantime.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: We have meantime, we have tremendous power has arrived and
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: additional power as you know, and other carriers going out shortly,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: So we'll see it. How if we could get it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Settled for once and for all, that would be good.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Don't want it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: But who would you want to take on? I don't
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: want to talk about that. Who would you want to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: take over? I don't want to talk about that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The President obviously knows exactly what he's doing here when
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it comes to negotiating, and this also comes as the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Iranian leaders are fighting back as well, and the Middle
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: East tensions are very clear that you now have Trump
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that's making all the moves and what is Iran doing.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Here's how one of the experts on Fox put it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Clearly, Yeah, Melissa, there are questions on both parties about
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: what comes next.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: You know, if you go forward with this no.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: Look, I think that the president has tried, you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: for weeks on and to do this diplomatically, and he
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: is demonstrating to the regime in the Middle East that
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: he is serious and that he is making all of
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: the moves that if he has to use force, he
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: will not hesitate, and we've seen him not hesitate in
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: other places. So I agree that he needs to be
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: making this case to the American public if he is
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: indeed going to use force, or else you're going to
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: end up in a Venezuela situation where one morning the
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: country wakes up and it's like whiplash and you have
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: no idea how you got there. So if he is
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: going to move forward, it looks more likely he's going
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: to do this. It would behoove him to lay the
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: groundwork for the American public to get there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Buy in.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: One thing is very clear. Donald Trump is in control.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He's willing to negotiate, but he's not going to allow
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a Ran to get nuclear weapons or move forward with
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a nuclear program. And so now it really comes up
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to the one issue, will theren come to the table
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: or will the President have to push back in a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: very real way. One thing is for sure, he's certainly
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: using every tool in his toolbox to avoid a real conflict.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And now we just have to wait and see what happens.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: There has been a warning and it's been coming from
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this administration for a very long time. Donald Trump making
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it clear we must secure our borders and we don't
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: need to be allowing so many people from around the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: world to come into this country until we get immigration
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: under control. This is a major contrast to what we're
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: now learning that the United States regularly settled migrants from
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the most corrupt nations in the world across American communities.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That coming from a new analysis. Last year, President Donald
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Trump halted much of this immigration via executive orders. The analysis,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: published by the Center for Immigration Studies, looked at countries
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: whose citizens Trump executive orders have either entirely or partially
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: banned from immigrating to the United States of America. Now,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in particular, The analysis highlights corruption levels on a nation
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: by nation basis, showing that in the fiscal year twenty
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: twenty four and likely prior years, the US issued visas
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to tens of thousands of foreign nationals literally from the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: most corrupt countries in the entire world. South Sudan, for example,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is ranked as the most corrupt country in the world
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: according to a study by Transparency International. Somalia is ranked
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: as the second most corrupt country in the world. Yet,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in the fiscal year twenty twenty four, nearly one thousand
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: eight internationals from South Sudan and Somalia were issued purposefully
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: by the United States government visus to come to the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: United States of America. Venezuela, which has been partially banned
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: from visa issuance, ranked as the third most corrupt country
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: in the world. Despite this, the Biden administration in the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: fiscal year twenty twenty four admitted almost two thousand, six
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: hundred Venezuelans to the United States of America after issuing
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: them visas. The Center for Immigration Studies Ronald Mortensen writes
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that vetting for nationals in such corrupt countries is nearly
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: impossible to vet for US officials. Quote in these countries,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: there can be no assurance that the documents available to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: even vet the individuals applying for the admittance into the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: United States are valid or even accurate. Mortenson continues due
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to a combination of incompetence, poor or no record keeping, fraud, bribery,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and personal dishonesty. It's impossible to know what is real
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and what's not. Now, let's go to that list for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: just a second. And this is the warning that Donald
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Trump gave. When there is poor or no record keeping
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: or incompetency or corruption at this level in different countries,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it's very easy to pay off officials to fraudulently make documents.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You can bribe them. There is personal dishonesty within the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: government as well. Quote for the payment of a bribe,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: A citizen of these countries, and in some cases, even
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a non citizen of that country, can obtain the official
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: documents necessary to apply for entry into the United States,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: including a fake birth certificate, doctored law enforcement records, a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: phony diploma, a forged passport, fictitious bank statements, and all
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: other documents normally used by US officials to vet individuals
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: before they're allowed to enter the United States. Mortensen rights
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that Trump was left with no option other than to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: suspend entry from highly corrupt countries in order to prevent
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the further importation of cultures of corruption, since effective vetting
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is not possible now. To be clear, what the study
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: is saying is that if you want to get to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the front of the line and you want to come
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to the United States of America from these corrupt countries,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you're probably going to have to pay up and then
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: someone's going to lie on your behalf. And if you
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: are a law abiding citizen in one of these corrupt countries,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the chances of you actually getting the documents you need
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: to try to come to the United States of America
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: are actually very unlikely because you would have to pay
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: bribes to even get in line to be able to
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: come to the United States of America. You can understand
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: why this is such a massive problem now if you
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: look at the actual list of the most corrupt countries
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: South Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Ecuadorial, Guinea, Libya, Yemen, Soudan, Burma, Haiti, Afghanistan,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Republic of the Congo, chad Iran, Mali, Laos, Sierra Leone, Niger,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and that is just a partialist of the countries that
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America said, we
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: just cannot trust you when you look at how corrupt
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: they are, They're almost all at ten out of ten.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And then you have the migrant visas. You had many
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of them that were categorized as special immigrants, for example
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, thirty three thousand. You look at employment preference
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: coming out of Afghanistan. For example, of the thirty three thousand,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: only twenty eight were because of jobs diversity immigrants coming
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan. Of the thirty three thousand, only one thousand.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: You look at the numbers, it is truly staggering. And
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: this is exactly who the Biden administration was letting in
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to the United States of America. Which also brings us
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to something interesting that Hillary Clinton said this week as
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: she was speaking, of course, trashing America, she did accidentally
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: tell the truth when she was talking at the Security
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Council in Munich.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: Here is a legitimate reason to have a debate about
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: things like migration.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It went too far.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: It's been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: torture and kill people, and how we're going to have
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: a strong family structure because it is.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You listen to Hillary Clinton there, even she's telling the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: truth being blown on immigration. It needs to be fixed
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: in a humane way with secure borders that don't torture.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: And kill people.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: She went on to say, of course, accusing the Trump
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: administration of killing and torturing people, which is not happening. Yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: she's still going to play politics and still slander her
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: own government and attack ice agents, just like Barack Obama
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: did this past week as well, implying that our agents
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: are so evil that well we should hold them accountable.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: The role behavior of agents of the federal government is
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: deeply concerning and dangerous, the sort of behavior that in
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: the past we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: So Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and you can also add
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom to the list of politicians saying we need
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to have a more orderly way of doing this in
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: America instead of having wide open borders which they created,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: but slandering American law enforcement and the Trump administration at
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the exact same time.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: But I want to remember all those images of masked men,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: the secret police, something familiar in Germany. Those first images
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: came out of my state, the second largest city in
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: the United States of America. We saw four thousand National
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Guard federalized first time.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: We never see anything like.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: This, and seven hundred active duty Marines sent not overseas,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: but to the second largest city in the United States
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: of America, militarizing the streets of my city. Masked men,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: masked men showing up, unaccountable, no idea, ideas.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: So to be clear, Democrats today are admitting they created
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the chaos, but they're more angry at the man who's
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: cleaning up their mass, Donald Trump. And what Donald Trump
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: is is saying, not only am I cleaning up your
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: mess in America that you created and in places like
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: California or Minnesota, but I'm also making sure that those
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that are taking advantages that are coming in on visas
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: are being stopped as well. And this is exactly what
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump promised in the campaign, and he's clearly making
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: good on that promise. And it's driving the left crazy,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: which is now why they're comparing Ice agents to Nazis,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: even while they're in Germany. In Munich at a conference
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: attacking their own country.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Well, keep following this story.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I can promise you that we've got a lot more
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen the days ahead, So make sure
