Billionaire-Backed Legal Blitz Against MAGA Movement plus Biden’s Autopen Controversy Deepens · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So let's start with one big issue that has happened,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it is about who is actually funding who is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: behind the lawfare chaos in this country. Who is out
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: there buying our democracy is another way of putting it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: There is a new book out and the central premise
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in Breaking the Law, a expose on weaponization of the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: legal system against President Trump and his supporters, is now
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: exposing exactly who was buying up America's democracy. The funders
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of the law fare and the superstructure that are waging
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a political battle against maga on behalf of the institutional
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: left is being paid for by the left's radical multi
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires. The law itself that has been disregarded
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: as they use the government to go after their political
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: enemies aka Donald J. Trump and any of his allies.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It is one hundred percent about politics and making sure
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that radicals got elected, just like the Attorney general in
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: New York by the last name of James. And here's
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the other thing that's very interesting about all of this.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: They are putting their money together to make sure that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: conservatives don't actually get power, and they want them to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: be afraid of running. Lawfair is actually about two different
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: things one, getting rid of the threat you have now,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but it's also about the mental side of things, the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: mind game, and the book explains this incredibly well. The
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: mind game, which is to make other conservatives afraid, terrified
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to run for office, saying it's just not worth it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: That is a society of leftism chaos, and they want
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to go after conservatives and use the court system to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: ruin people's lives. That's when we call it lawfair and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we've witnessed it on a very very high level, going
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: after the President of the United States of America, right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Now, how is it happening? Well, thanks to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the dark money nonprofits, it's impossible to know exactly who
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is funding every element of the lawfair apparatus against conservatives.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: But we now have some more information because of this
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: new book, Breaking the Law by Alex Marlowe. He's a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: best selling author and a man that you will know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: probably from Breitbart. The book is about exposing the weaponization
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of America's legal system against Donald Trump. And it's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: book I'm telling you right now, go buy it now.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The Democratic mega donor Reed Hoffman, we now know, bankrolled
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: e Gene Carroll's defamation suit against President Donald Trump. So
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: let's just break that down. You've got a woman that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they went to and said, we'll bankroll you. We've got you,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and you have unlimited funds. I'm a mega donor, my
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: name is Reed Hoffman, and I'm gonna pay for everything
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: if you'll just help us take down Donald Trump. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that was exactly what Egene Carol did. She didn't pay
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for it, she basically was paid to do it. In essence,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I regard the case as a well farce, right, a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: thoroughly documented farce, is what the book Breaking the Law says. Hoffman,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the mega donor, helped launch PayPal before co founding LinkedIn
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and two. He's literally worth billions of dollars.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: He has also made big bucks from Facebook, big bucks
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: from Airbnb, and his venture capital firm called Greylock Partners.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Now he's funded a vast array of left wing political
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: activities ever since he got his cash. We also know
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Hey, it's Donald Trump's saying he would quote spend
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: as much as I possibly can and it takes to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: beat him. And he has well funding a vast array
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of left wing political causes through a shadowy dark money
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: nonprofit network is what the book now states. Now Caroll,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a columnist and comedy writer, was able to hire a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: crack legal team, including Times Up Legal Defense Fund founder ROBERTA.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Kaplan.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Kaplan was funded by a nonprofit primarily backed by the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Democratic mega donor Read Hoffman. Yes, follow the money now.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: While the saga played out in a one sided New
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: York City courtroom, Hoffman was making regular visits, we now know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to Joe Biden's White House. Yes, so there's a very
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: good chance that Hoffman was taking his orders from the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: White House on how to stop Donald Trump now. Hoffman,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: known as the quote most connected man in Silicon Valley,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: has been criticized for complying with Chinese censorship rules. For example,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: while his businesses operated in the country all about profits,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: not about actually standing up or doing the right thing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to the Chinese Communist Party. He has praised the Chinese
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: tech sector as well, and appears to be the only
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: American to regularly speak at China's World Internet Conferences, which
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: are designed to amplify Xijiping's vision for the digital age
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and are closed to the press. Yet the radical donor
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: ried Hoffman, He's welcome and speaks naturally. He wanted Biden
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to remain president and Trump to lose. That's why he
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: funded all of the top lawyers for this ridiculous lawsuit
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: against Donald Trump. He also promoted fake news on behalf
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of Democrats, also financing a left wing online disinformation camp
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: targeting Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in twenty seventeen. Hoffman,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, issued an apology for this after more
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: nearly lost his race, so the damage was done. It worked,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, sorry, my bad. A whistleblowerclaimed by
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the way in twenty twenty two that Hoffman's Orwellian name
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: named Good Information Foundation offered him money to attack Trump
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Republicans online despite federal laws prohibiting such political behavior from
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: five oh one c three organizations.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: But did it matter.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: No, none of that bothered the powers that be in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's White House. Hoffman is on the board of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Microsoft as well, and was on the Pentagon's Defense and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Innovation Board throughout Biden's presidency, direct access to the White
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: House whenever he needed it. By the way, he also
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: admitted to visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island. But don't worry, the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: media will never tell you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: That, right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So, Hoffman runs a shop full of well rabid Trump haters.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: His former top political advisor hated Donald Trump, push the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: narrative that the assassination attempt in fact on President Trump
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and Butler Pennsylvania July twenty twenty four was quote unquote staged.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He split with Hoffman days later to join the Anti
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Trump Lincoln Project. Hoffman has backed the group Indivisible, a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: well coordinated, well funded, and high powered network of leftist organizations.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Indivisible has claimed credit for both Trump's impeachments plural as
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: well as other assorted efforts to disqualify him from the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: presidential ballot. This is just one of the radicals on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the left that are doing everything they can with their
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: money to try destroy this country and and to basically
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: fix elections by putting out lies and misinformation or trying
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to lock up people that they don't like politically. Just
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: let all that set in, all right. I want to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: take a moment talk about the economy. You've been seeing
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: what's happening on Wall Street, You've seen what's been happening
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: with interest rates, and you've probably seen gold prices hitting
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: all time record highs. Why because there is uncertainty all
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: over the world right now, and when there is uncertain times,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you want real answers about your financial stability. Well, at
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Kurt Elliott Precious Medals you get more than gold and silver.

  Speaker 1: do at Kurt Elliot Precious Medals number one bullyon only approach.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: They focus on investment grade metals, not overpriced quote collectibles
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: or gimmick products that cost you an insane amount of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: money for what you're actually getting. What they do is
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they sell you more metal for your money and fair
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: value when it's time for you to actually sell. They
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: also have upfront transparent pricing just eight percent when you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: buy and zero commissions when you go to sell. There
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: are no hidden fees on top of that ever, that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is the reason why I recommend them. They also make
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: sure they give you personalized guidance for you. You're never
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: just a number, no pressure, always real answers, and they
• 9:43

• 10:30
  Speaker 1: It is the traditional August recess. It's happening right now
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Congress is back in their districts
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in theory, tending to business of listening to the constituents.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there isn't anything going on with the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: House Auto Pen probe. In fact, it's uncovering a lot
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: about the Biden White House. Even as Congress is on
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: their traditional recess. The House Oversight Committee, I've been told today,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is still investigating the LEDs cover up a former pres
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in Joe Biden's decline, the former president insisting he was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: responsible for quote all decisions that came out of the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: White House during his time in office, and former staff
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: members claim they saw no obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer discussing the committee's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: investigation to whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: deterioration of the former president. Now, there's also been the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: question of precedent. What is the autopen like in the past,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and can you compare how other government officials used the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: autopen in contrast to how it was being used when
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: in the investigation. Well, former Speaker of the House new
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Gingrich set down with my good friend Mark Levin, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: he was asked about the autopen when he was a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Speaker of the House signing legislation and how big of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a deal it was to use the auto pen. How
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: seriously was the autopen taken and how much was it
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: also protected from abuse.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear what Newke Gingrich had to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: say to Levin.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Luke Gingrich question, when you were Speaker of that House,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: bet you took the requirement that a president actually be
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: present when a bill is signed very very seriously. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: certain bills are brought, they're brought in a special way,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: they're handed to somebody specifically, there's a whole process set up.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: these bills or if he was present when the bills
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: were signed.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Well, put it that way. Sure, Look, these people are corrupt, irresponsible,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: and happy to exploit the nation for their own game.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: So given those kind of people, who knows what they
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: might do? Oh, I think it does raises you have
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: brilliantly done in this show today. It raises a very
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: big question about whether or not these laws are in
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: fact laws. Remember the founding fathers understood that you had
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: to have a pretty strict series of rules or the
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: whole system breaks down into a kind of corruption which
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: undermines the rule of law. The rule of law requires rules,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: and one of those rules is that the president signs
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: built Now he can direct an auto pen for things
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: that are ceremonial. Christmas cards, for example. But the president
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: ought to be signing these things. And when you learn
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: that Biden was signing thousands of commutations in the last
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: few days of his administration, you know, he didn't have
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: a clue what was going on. You know, we have
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: no idea what the deals were, why those people were
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: given commutations, or if in fact they were legal. So
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I do think there's a profound question here, and probably
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: the Congress and President Trump should really right. So more
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: restrictive rules about what it takes to get a bill
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: to actually be a law.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: No, it's interesting New Camrich when I went back and
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: looked at Madisone's notes and looked at some of the
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: other essays and comments on that they spend a lot
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: of time on this. They spent a lot time on
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: this signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: back then it was this guy's the president. You know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: these laws. We in Congress, we're going to spend our
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: time doing all this and send it to him. We're
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: concerned that somebody might hijacket somebody might sign it. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to be present.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, let me ask you that is it really
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: asking a president too much to sign the damn bills
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: or to be present when the bills are signed. I mean,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that kind of
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: prove the point?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: After some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: you walked us through. I mean, when you read the
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: very clear Biden clearly was incompetent. Sometime I can't say
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: any given date, but sometime in twenty three it should
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: have been obvious to every person who was dealing with
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: him that he was no longer competent to be president.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: And I agree with you. Every one of these cabinet
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: they should frankly be stuck with etho. These are people
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: who willfully cheated the American people and allowed a phony
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was the most important.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: She became, in effect, the acting president of the United States.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: You listen to the claim there by new Gingridge, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it's a very interesting one. He's saying that, in essence,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the first Lady was actually the President of the United
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: States of America, the de facto president. She was elected
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: by no one. And if that is true, then who
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: else was involved in this cover up or coup, depending
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: on how you want to describe it. There's also another
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: aspect of the story, and that is the Biden regime. Right,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: they're out of office, but they're still tight. The Biden
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: crime family now is doing everything they can to change
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the narrative, which brings us to the former President Joe Biden.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: In a New York Times interview, Biden has now asserted
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that he quote personally made every clemency and pardon decision,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: even though an autopen was used to apply his signature
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: on many documents to the massive volume involved. Translation, I'm
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: giving you a really good story, an alibi to why
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't signing it myself, the President said, quote I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: made every single one of those.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: He elaborated that he's.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Set the categories and standards for pardons and commutations and
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: communicated with each decision to aids who execute the mechanics
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of signature, you're writing via auto pen. Again, this is
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: what Joe Biden is saying to the New York Times.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Biden also defended the practice as legal, end quote typical,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: noting that many other presidents, including Trump, have used auto pins.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: He emphasized it was simply a matter of handling quote
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of people. Responding to critics, Joe Biden
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: also called allegations of misuse politically motivated distractions, saying, quote
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: their liars, they've done so badly, they've lied so consistently,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the best thing they can do is focus on something else.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Biden also mentioned he issued preemptive pardons to his family
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: members to show them from what he expected would be
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: politically driven legal attacks, specifically from Donald Trump.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Guess what.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: The only people that have gone after people politically and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: attacks has been the Democratic Party who went after Donald Trump.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly why they had to give these preempti
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: gardens out Now. Biden's remarks came amid ongoing congressional investigations
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: by both the House and the Senate Republicans. These inquiries
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: are well they're simple. They're examining whether the autopen was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: used appropriately or whether Biden or his aides had sufficient
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: involvement in the decisions. His former White House physician, as
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I talked about earlier on the show, Kevin O'Connor, invoked
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the fit Amendment when called to testify. Now, the Trump
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: White House, via the pre Secretary Caroline Levitt, launched its
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: own investigation. Coordinating with the Justice Department. They reviewed tens
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of thousands of documents from NARA and anticipate examining up
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to a million more to determine whether Biden retained proper
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: control of the autopen or succeeded authority to staffers or
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: maybe his wife. Levitt harshly criticized Biden, calling him the worst,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: most incompetent, and senile president, and suggesting that he relinquished
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: executive power to unelected aids or even family members.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Now, let me also just reminds.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You of what the President said in his own words
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: on the autopen scandal. He's been very clear that he
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: believes that Joe Biden was not running the country, that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't know what executive orders or even laws
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: may have been signed at the end of his administration
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and certainly didn't know who was getting clemency or pardons
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in his last days and hours in office. It's also
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: interesting that Joe Biden signed his own family's pardons personally,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: using his signature, not the autopen, pointing to the fact
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that he was so paranoid about the Biden crime family
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: being protected and covered, but for everyone else, it was
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like he wasn't even at the will to even be asleep.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: The autopen was being used by countless other individuals, and
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: who knows how much corruption there was around it. Here's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: President Trump in his own words, I mean, you're talking.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: About the autopen. Look, the autopen, I think is maybe
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: one of the biggest scandals that we've had in fifty
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: to one hundred years. This is a tremendous scandal. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: I know the people on the other side of the
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Oscia desk, a resolute desk. Unfortunately he used it before me.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: But you know, we have our choice of seven desks.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: They're all beautiful, but I chose the resolute and so
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: did he, unfortunately. But the people on the other side
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: of the resolute desk, I know them, Lisa, the whole group.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: And then no Good's sick people, and I guarantee he
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: knew nothing about what he was sigyning. I guarantee it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what this investigation is going to be
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: all about the present making it clear they're not backing
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: down and they are gone going to investigate it and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: find out exactly who was running the country and that
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: person was clearly not elected by any Americans.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Now I asked for Congress while the House and the.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Senate doing their own investigations individually. There are going to
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: be a lot of people that are going to want
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to answer questions, or maybe a lot of people that
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to answer questions, depending on what your role
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: was within the Biden regime. As for the former staffers,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you can expect more of them to take the fifth
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and not say a word because they're afraid of incriminating
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: themselves and probably going to jail. Donald Trump promised all Americans,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: no matter where you lived, even in a liberal city,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that he was going to do everything in his power
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to keep you safe. He also said he was going
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to crack down on drugs, cartels, naming them terrorists organizations,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and stopping the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: The President is making good on all of those promises,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and now there's a new one, and it's making liberals
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: lose their mind. The President invokes section seven forty of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, allowing him to
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: take over the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Guard under declaration of a public safety emergency. Democrats, of course,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: are angry that the president of United States of America
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: may actually save lives, get drugs off the streets, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: restore law and order to our nation's capital. So what
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: are they doing. They're saying, this is what a dictator
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and a tyrant would do. Yes, Democrats are so unhinged
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: now they're claiming that as the President's trying to save lives,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that he's somehow a dictator. Now, the scale of the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: deployment will be up to eight hundred National Guard troops
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and around five hundred federal law enforcement personnel, including over
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred FBI agents, plus members from the DEEA, the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: atf ICE, and US Marshall. They're all being deployed to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: patrol the streets in Washington, d C. Trump's justification very simple.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He described the city as descending into chaos, using words
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: like bloodshed to frame the intervention as a liberation day.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: He warned similar.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Federal actions could extend to other big cities, such as
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: New York and Los Angeles. Now, what is the crime
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: data show? It actually shows, thank goodness, that violent crime
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: across the country is coming down. Why because the president's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: backing law enforcement and allowing them to do their job.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: And we're also witnessing ice agents taking hardened criminals off
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the streets that are in the country illegally. This is
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: exactly why the president is having such success. Now, local
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: responses are obviously different depending on if you're a Democrat
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: or Republican. Mayor Bowser condemned the move as quote unsettling
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in DC and unprecedented, asserting the city doesn't meet legal
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: criteria claims for a federal emergency. Yes, she cares more
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: about playing politics than saving lives. She puts instead for
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: more judicial resources and staffing. Again, bureaucracy over policing. DC's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Attorney General is exploring legal options, they're saying as well,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and the DC City Council members called the move an
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: intrusion on local authority quote unquote, this is all politics
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: for them. Instead, of actually protecting Americans. I want you
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to hear what the President had to say as he
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: announces to the White House in his own words.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Under the authorities vested in me as the President of
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: the United States, I'm officially invoking section seventy forty of
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: direct federal control. And you'll be meeting the people that
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: they're tough, and they know what's happening, and they've done
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National are to
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: help re establish law order of public safety in Washington,
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: d C.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: They're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: That is the core point of what President Trump has
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: been saying over and over again when it comes to
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. Let law enforcement officers do their jobs the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: right way. Now, how do we get to this point? Well,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the President also talked about the radicals in DC, for example,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: having no cash bail and it's putting people's lives at risk.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: This dire public safety crisis stem is directly from the
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: abject failures of the city's local leadership. The radical left
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: city Council adopted no cash bail. By the way, every
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: place in the country where you have no cash bail
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: and they don't change it. They don't want to change it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: started it. Bad leadership started it. But that was the
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: one thing that's central. No cash Somebody murders somebody and
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: they're out on no cash bail before the day is out.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: We're going to end that in Chicago. We're going to
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: change the statute. I spoke with Pam and Todd and everybody.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: We're going to change the statue. And I'm going to
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: have to get the Republicans to vote because the Democrats
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: are week on crime, totally weak.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: On crime, totally week on crime. The stats say he's
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: absolutely accurate, and the President United States of America saying,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: this is our moment to shine, to take back our
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: nation's capital, and we're not going to allow Democrats to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: hold us hostage any longer. Ag BONDI also saying this
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: about what's happening in DC.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: Let me be crystal clear. Crime in DC is ending
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: and ending today. We are going to use every power
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: we have to fight criminals here. President, thank you for
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: caring about our capital. Families come here every summer. Our
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: museums are free. We have the National Zoo, we have
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: the National Gallery. DC should be a place where everyone
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: can come and feel safe.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's all about safety. That is the present's number one
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: priority for all Americans. And yet Democrats are doing everything
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: they can to try to stop the President from accomplishing
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: this goal. Donald Trump also saying this as well, about
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: what's happening in DC.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: And we getting rid of the slums too.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: We have slums here.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: We getting rid of them.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: I know it's not politically correct, you'll say, oh, so terrible.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: No, we're getting rid of the slums where they live.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: We're getting rid of the slums.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: You listen also to something else on this Liberation Day,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and that is again the President saying we're taking our
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: capital back. The man who's in charge of the Department
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: of Defense, Pete Headseth, went on Laura Ingrams Show, and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: this is what he had to say about what the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: President has ordered him to do.
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: This capital belongs to all Americans, and starting now, we're
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: taking it back. And that's the angle. Secretary of Defense
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: Pete Hegsa was given the tall order of handling this
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: and he's here with me exclusively. Mister Secretary, thank you
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: for joining us tonight. So the President called this a
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: public safety emergency, and you said, we're going to start
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: seeing the National Guard this week, tell us more.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: This week and incoming weeks, and we're going to work
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: right alongside our law enforcement partners as force multipliers. This
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: is what the American people voted for, Laura. This is
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: what the common sense, clarity strength. I hadn't heard that
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: story from President Trump before the story he told about
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: his father that he told him, hey, son, if you
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: look at the front door of a restaurant and it's dirty,
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: then I bet the kitchen you can count on the
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: fact that the kitchen is too and sat there thinking
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: that's exactly right. If our capital city is a mess,
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: if we can't control our capital city, then what does
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: the rest of the country look like?
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: And what signals does the rest of the country take
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: from that? So, just like we did in Los Angeles
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: alongside our federal law.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: We took a lot of criticism for four thousand troops,
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: seven hundred Marines.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: You know what we didn't get.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: There was no summer of love in twenty twenty There
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: was in twenty twenty five.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: There was a summer of law enforcement, and.
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: We quelled the protests, if the attacks on ice officers.
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: We're going to help get DC under control by working
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: with local officials who have been federalized, with federal officials who.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Are coming in. The DC Guards proud to be a
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: part of it.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: Other states will contribute this week, going into the weeks
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: to come. Whatever's needed, the DoD will provide to make
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: sure this is a safe city for those who live here,
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: for those that work here, and the Americans who want
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: to come visit here and love our capital city.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: The question of martial law keeps getting raised by the
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: left that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth they want to
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: impose martial law as authoritarians would.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: To that, you said to that, I say, look at
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Los Angeles. They said the exact same thing.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: Oh look, oh look four thousand troops California National Guard,
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: Oh look the Marines.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: You can't put in the Marines.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: They were the troops available to ensure that we de
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: escalated the situation and didn't allow other lawbreakers to say, look,
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: it's wide open, we can do whatever we want in
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: these sanctuary cities. I was told, Oh, you're going to
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: lock up political opponents, You're going to go after democrats, YadA, YadA.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: It's the same stuff every time, mischaracterizing our intentions. The
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: intentions of this president is to establish law and order
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: using legal and lawful and constitutional means, which he completely.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: Has and you know what, you know why they don't
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: like him. He's got the guts to do it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: He's got the guts to say, I'm going to federalize
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: the police that are that don't work. I'm going to
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: bring in the National Guard, I'm going to bring in
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: federal marshals.
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: I'm going to bring in the park police. What is
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: the cost money? Right, cost money? And the question is
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: are you there for a year? Are you there for
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: six months? And when the troops pull out? What happened?
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: I would call this conditions based.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: I would say it's a situation where we're here to
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: support law enforcement, and the more we can free them
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: up to do their job the more effective they can be,
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: the more we can work. I mean, this isn't my realm,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: but the justice system to make sure people who are
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: arrested are actually locked up. That's why the president's talking
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: about cash list, bear bail, and sanctuary cities.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: If you're illegal here in DC, that's going to be
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: a problem.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: So all of these things that apply to law and
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: order our front and center for us.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: And I don't know, weeks, months, what will it take.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: That's the president's call, but we're going to be there
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: for him to execute as swiftly as possible.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Then as swiftly as possible. This is what you voted for,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and the presence delivering on that promise of having safer cities,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: safer streets, safer capital, and making sure we are protecting
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: everyone in this country, regardless of who you voted for.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: your friends wherever they are, and I will see you
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
