Judge 'Sparkles' for Illegal Immigrant Voters · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: We are now getting news that a Biden appointed judge
0:04
Speaker 1: has blocked Donald Trump's new verification system to remove foreign
0:11
Speaker 1: nationals from our voter roles. Yeah, you want to talk
0:17
Speaker 1: about fraud, You want to talk about people that shouldn't
0:20
Speaker 1: be voting in our elections actually getting to vote in
0:23
Speaker 1: our elections. Well, this is a perfect example of that.
0:29
Speaker 1: This federal judge appointed by President Joe Biden has block
0:33
Speaker 1: President Trump's administration from using an updated verification system known
0:39
Speaker 1: as the SAVE program to remove foreign nationals from state
0:44
Speaker 1: voter roles. Now, on Monday, the judge appointed to the
0:49
Speaker 1: United States District Court for the District Columbia by Biden
0:53
Speaker 1: issued an order specifically to prevent the Trump administration from
0:58
Speaker 1: using a stream line version of the federal government say
1:02
Speaker 1: program to combat voter fraud. Now, this is all about
1:04
Speaker 1: just combating voter fraud. Like, that's it. The update to
1:08
Speaker 1: SAVE allows states to more quickly verify that only American
1:13
Speaker 1: citizens are voting in federal elections by no longer requiring
1:18
Speaker 1: that all nine digits of a voter's registrant social Security
1:24
Speaker 1: number have to be entered to verify eligibility. Quote. This
1:30
Speaker 1: case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach.
1:36
Speaker 1: The right to privacy and the right to vote is
1:38
Speaker 1: what the judge said. This is incredible, by the way,
1:43
Speaker 1: in the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces
1:46
Speaker 1: to create a centralized federal database that contains a private
1:50
Speaker 1: information of United States citizens, including SOID security numbers, citizenship status,
1:54
Speaker 1: and other sense of data. But decades ago, she went
1:58
Speaker 1: on to say, Congress put protections in place to prevent
2:00
Speaker 1: precisely this type of centralized data bank, and the record
2:05
Speaker 1: in this case shows that federal agencies that created this
2:08
Speaker 1: database knew that the database violated those set story protections.
2:12
Speaker 1: The agencies were scrambling to comply with an executive order
2:15
Speaker 1: aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directs them to create
2:19
Speaker 1: a system for mass voter verification, So they combine and
2:25
Speaker 1: repurpose the private information millions of Americans, including citizenship data
2:29
Speaker 1: that they knew to be unreliable. Since then, states have
2:34
Speaker 1: partnered with the federal government to access the database and
2:36
Speaker 1: are actively removing United States citizens from voter roles based
2:40
Speaker 1: on inaccurate information quote unquote. All in all, the federal
2:44
Speaker 1: government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American
2:47
Speaker 1: citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote.
2:51
Speaker 1: This Court cannot stand idly by while this happens. Emphasis
2:55
Speaker 1: added of course there. Okay, So let me be clear.
3:00
Speaker 1: You have a president that's trying to make sure that
3:02
Speaker 1: people aren't voting in our elections that are here illegally,
3:05
Speaker 1: that aren't allowed to vote, and immediately a wacko Biden
3:09
Speaker 1: judge is like, Nope, we got to let those illegals
3:12
Speaker 1: and people that are not eligible to vote vote in
3:14
Speaker 1: our elections. Now. A US Citizenship and Integration Services spokesman
3:20
Speaker 1: previously said that the update say program was necessary to
3:25
Speaker 1: quote ensure America's elections are reserved exclusively for American citizens.
3:31
Speaker 1: By the way, what's like wrong with that? Like that
3:34
Speaker 1: that should just be like very logical, Like hey, who,
3:39
Speaker 1: by the way, that's what the law says. Can we
3:41
Speaker 1: can we also just talk about that for a second,
3:43
Speaker 1: Like the law actually says that only American citizens. Okay,
3:50
Speaker 1: only American citizens. I want to say that one more time.
3:56
Speaker 1: Only American citizens are supposed to vote in our election. Uh.
4:05
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say if you think
4:10
Speaker 1: that people that are that are not in this country legally,
4:15
Speaker 1: and you think that illegal immigrants should be able to vote,
4:17
Speaker 1: and you then then the question is why, what is
4:21
Speaker 1: the nefarious reason why? I think it's a pretty simple answer.
4:30
Speaker 1: I think the answer is pretty obvious, and that answer
4:35
Speaker 1: is because you want to defraud the will and overthrow
4:40
Speaker 1: the will of the people. You don't like the outcome
4:44
Speaker 1: of what the elections are going to be only with
4:47
Speaker 1: American citizens, so you want to pack the books to
4:52
Speaker 1: your advantage. And so that for you is like the
4:54
Speaker 1: holy graaly, I gep, that's all we need, got it?
4:56
Speaker 1: Let's roll like like like, that's all we got to
5:00
Speaker 1: do here, Let's just And this is part of the
5:04
Speaker 1: open border strategy. You flood this country with the legal immigrants,
5:07
Speaker 1: tens of millions of them, You figure out a way
5:10
Speaker 1: to get them to vote in our elections, and then
5:12
Speaker 1: once you pull that off, how do you stop it?
5:14
Speaker 1: And you get them to vote in local elections, By
5:15
Speaker 1: the way, liberals have been advocating for them voting in
5:18
Speaker 1: local elections for as long as I can remember, which
5:21
Speaker 1: is also scary as hell, And then you can fundamentally
5:24
Speaker 1: change this country. That's what this really does boil down to.
5:29
Speaker 1: At this point, like that is the actual ballgame. You
5:35
Speaker 1: look at this judge, and what this judge is saying is, sorry,
5:38
Speaker 1: I can't let only American citizens vote. Like American elections
5:43
Speaker 1: under the Democratic Party are actually not reserved exclusively for Americans.
5:49
Speaker 1: We're not gonna allow that to be even though that
5:53
Speaker 1: is what the law says. And I go back to
5:55
Speaker 1: the point on this, which is the law actually says
5:58
Speaker 1: that our elections are so supposed to be only for
6:01
Speaker 1: American citizens. And so now what we have as a
6:05
Speaker 1: Democratic Party that has found activist judges and put them
6:07
Speaker 1: in office, and the activist judges are now saying, no, no, no,
6:10
Speaker 1: we're going to stop the law from actually being used
6:15
Speaker 1: and protecting that only American citizens are the ones voting.
6:19
Speaker 1: I asked the question, and I don't say it in
6:21
Speaker 1: a joking way, like whose side are you on? I
6:25
Speaker 1: can tell you exactly whose side they're on. They're on
6:27
Speaker 1: the side of the illegal immigrant. These judges are on
6:31
Speaker 1: the side of the illegal immigrant. These judges that have
6:34
Speaker 1: been put into these positions of power want to remake
6:38
Speaker 1: fundamentally what the United States of America is. They do
6:44
Speaker 1: not want law and order for Americans. They want anarchy
6:47
Speaker 1: and chaos, and they want to give rights to the
6:50
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants in this country, and they want to ultimately
6:53
Speaker 1: give them what citizenship. I mean, ultimately, this is really
6:58
Speaker 1: just about citizenship, is it not. It's about flooding this
7:02
Speaker 1: country of people that came from other countries where Marxism
7:06
Speaker 1: and socialism and communism were the norm. They're way more
7:11
Speaker 1: likely Okay again, I'm want to be clear, they are
7:15
Speaker 1: way more likely to be in favor of it or
7:18
Speaker 1: vote for it here in America. When you bring in
7:22
Speaker 1: people that are legal immigants from other countries and you say, hey,
7:24
Speaker 1: vote for me, right, so and so I'll give you
7:28
Speaker 1: free stuff. Gavin Newsom's a great example of that. Hell,
7:30
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was a great example of that. Kama Harris
7:32
Speaker 1: is a great example of this. If you can have
7:34
Speaker 1: every illegal immigrant and you bribe them with free government aid,
7:37
Speaker 1: we give it legal immigrants more in this country than
7:40
Speaker 1: other countries give their own citizens. Think about that, and
7:45
Speaker 1: what this judge is saying is, yeah, I'm going to
7:47
Speaker 1: be an activist. I'm going to make sure that as
7:51
Speaker 1: many illegal immigrants as I can help vote in the
7:56
Speaker 1: elections are able to vote in American elections. I'm going
8:01
Speaker 1: to fight against Donald Trump, and I'm going to fight
8:04
Speaker 1: against law and order, and I'm going to fight against
8:06
Speaker 1: what the law say on the books because I was
8:10
Speaker 1: put here by an activist. You have a judge, now,
8:14
Speaker 1: a Biden radical judge, who has just stepped in here
8:18
Speaker 1: and said, uh, I'm going to block Donald Trump's new
8:23
Speaker 1: verification system to remove foreign nationals from the voter rolls.
8:28
Speaker 1: In layman's terms, I am going to make sure that
8:32
Speaker 1: America's elections are not reserved exclusively for American citizens. I'm
8:37
Speaker 1: going to make sure that America's elections are infiltrated by
8:42
Speaker 1: anyone that wants to defraud the system. That's what I'm
8:47
Speaker 1: going to do as a judge. And this is exactly
8:50
Speaker 1: why the midterms also matter so much. The judge, a judge,
8:58
Speaker 1: i should say, has shut down the Trump Admin database
9:01
Speaker 1: used to remove non citizens from voter rules. And this
9:06
Speaker 1: is now being celebrated by the left. Now, this was,
9:10
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, I think it was yesterday you had
9:13
Speaker 1: a Biden appointed federal judge that not only shut down
9:16
Speaker 1: the database used to remove co citizens from voter rules.
9:19
Speaker 1: But now the left is saying that this is a
9:20
Speaker 1: massive victory. It's exactly what I predicted. They want lawlessness
9:27
Speaker 1: in our country and especially in our elections. Now, our
9:30
Speaker 1: elections are supposed to be American citizens vote, not illegal immigrants.
9:35
Speaker 1: What's even more interesting is this seventy five page opinion
9:39
Speaker 1: that was issued by Sparkle L Suk Nunnan follows a
9:44
Speaker 1: civil action suit against the Department of Homeland Security, the
9:48
Speaker 1: Social Security Administration, and the State of Texas by parties
9:51
Speaker 1: including the League of Women Voters. Now, this was a
9:55
Speaker 1: very big opinion and the decision set aside a modified
9:58
Speaker 1: version of the system Smatic Alien Verification for Entitlements known
10:03
Speaker 1: as the SAVE system, and that was all created following
10:06
Speaker 1: the Trump signed executive order to verify the citizenship or
10:10
Speaker 1: immigration status of registered voters or individuals registered to vote.
10:14
Speaker 1: And this was all put in place by the Department
10:16
Speaker 1: of Owned Security and the Social Security Administration. So Nonon
10:20
Speaker 1: justified vacating the SAVE system by citing quote two fundamental
10:24
Speaker 1: rights that protect Americans from government overreach, namely that she said,
10:30
Speaker 1: the right to privacy and the right to vote. Now,
10:32
Speaker 1: she pointed to the twenty twenty five modified version of
10:36
Speaker 1: the SAVE system as the quote overreach as It included
10:39
Speaker 1: the records of natural born American citizens direct access, she
10:43
Speaker 1: says SSA SOI Security Administration records, and allowed state users
10:47
Speaker 1: to conduct automated bulk searches rather than individual inquiries. Now
10:52
Speaker 1: this is an activist, judge. When you dive into more
10:55
Speaker 1: of what she said, you find out just how much
10:57
Speaker 1: more activists she actually is. She said the database shared
11:01
Speaker 1: among several federal agencies, So this is all federal agencies
11:05
Speaker 1: that have this information they're cross checking. It basically contain
11:08
Speaker 1: private information on US citizens and thus violates protections put
11:12
Speaker 1: in place by Congress to prevent centralized data banks, including
11:17
Speaker 1: the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act, She says of
11:20
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. All Right, translation, I don't want you
11:25
Speaker 1: to be able to check in any way if someone
11:27
Speaker 1: is a citizen. So therefore, I'm going to say that
11:29
Speaker 1: all the databases that we have and the SAVE database
11:33
Speaker 1: that we have, you can't use because I want illegal
11:37
Speaker 1: immigrants and dead people to be able to vote in
11:39
Speaker 1: our elections. Why would you want that to happen unless
11:41
Speaker 1: it's solely for one reason, and that is for to
11:44
Speaker 1: commit voter fraud. Now, the defendants argued that other more
11:49
Speaker 1: specific immigration laws overrode the general restrictions of the nineteen
11:53
Speaker 1: eighty eight Act. Specifically, they pointed to the Illegal Immigration
11:57
Speaker 1: Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of ninety six, which actually
12:01
Speaker 1: mandates that the federal government respond to state inquiries to
12:05
Speaker 1: verify the citizenship status of any individual. By the way,
12:08
Speaker 1: Democrats hate that. The judge declared the argument not a
12:12
Speaker 1: winner quote unquote, Like that's our actual words, not a winner.
12:15
Speaker 1: I mean one hell of a legal brief when you
12:17
Speaker 1: just say, quote unquote, not a winner. The judge also
12:20
Speaker 1: blocked the Federal Trade Commissions Anti Trust probe in immedia
12:23
Speaker 1: matters by the way, just for point of clarity here,
12:25
Speaker 1: and bar the executive branch from deporting on accompanied migrant
12:30
Speaker 1: miners and reuniting them with their families abroad. So you
12:33
Speaker 1: can't even do that. Now, this is the same crazy judge. Now,
12:36
Speaker 1: this ruling comes as both Republicans and Democrats are preparing
12:40
Speaker 1: for the upcoming midterm elections. That's why this has like
12:43
Speaker 1: it's a big deal and it has big ramifications. Republican
12:46
Speaker 1: Utah Center Mike Lee again is attempting to advance the
12:49
Speaker 1: Save America Act in the Senate. But you have a
12:51
Speaker 1: problem there because you have basically four scumbag Republicans in
12:54
Speaker 1: the Senate that hate Donald Trump and don't look at
12:57
Speaker 1: the eighty plus percent of Americans that want to Save
12:59
Speaker 1: Act to pass, and so they want to stick it
13:01
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. And so they're like, here's our middle finger.
13:03
Speaker 1: Like that's just the truth of this. What is the
13:06
Speaker 1: Save Act? If you don't know, it's real simple. It
13:08
Speaker 1: requires a government issued ID to vote. What a novel idea.
13:11
Speaker 1: Lee centerally said this on Sunday on Fox News. Quote,
13:16
Speaker 1: the American people overwhelmingly support this, regardless of political party.
13:20
Speaker 1: Want to make it easy to vote, hard to cheat.
13:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again. Want to make it easy
13:24
Speaker 1: to vote, but hard to cheat. That's what the House passed,
13:27
Speaker 1: and that's what the Save Act actually does. Couldn't, by
13:30
Speaker 1: the way, agree more with Lee on that one. So
13:33
Speaker 1: when you look at the Save Act and you look
13:35
Speaker 1: at this, what Democrats are now publicly saying and celebrating
13:40
Speaker 1: is lawlessness, is actually making sure that lawlessness continues. Now.
13:46
Speaker 1: The Save Act is also something else that's, by the way,
13:48
Speaker 1: not controversial. More than eighty percent of American voters Republican
13:51
Speaker 1: Democrats alike want it. The voter ID bill is now
13:55
Speaker 1: becoming even bigger issue heading into the midterms, and these
13:58
Speaker 1: Republicans are stuff upping it. Will they suck? Now? What
14:02
Speaker 1: we're being told is President Trump is now gearing up
14:05
Speaker 1: and going to be attending a closed door Senate GOP
14:08
Speaker 1: lunch with John fun while pushing for the Save Act.
14:13
Speaker 1: Brett Bear Fox News Channel reporting this just a few
14:15
Speaker 1: minutes ago.
14:16
Speaker 2: Pation tonight as he pushes Senate Republicans to pass the
14:19
Speaker 2: Save America Act. But that is creating another political problem.
14:24
Speaker 2: Chief Congressional correspondent Chad Program shows us from Capitol Hill.
14:29
Speaker 3: President Trump fixated on a singular goal.
14:32
Speaker 4: We have to pass the Save America Act, which is
14:35
Speaker 4: voter ID, which is proof of citizenship.
14:38
Speaker 3: But he's not getting his way.
14:40
Speaker 1: There's no doubt.
14:40
Speaker 5: The President is very prostrated with the speed of the Senate.
14:44
Speaker 3: As am I. The President is exasperated at the Senate
14:47
Speaker 3: struggling to approve the bill.
14:49
Speaker 5: There, I suspect we'll get a talking to, but at
14:52
Speaker 5: the same time we'll be able to convey back to him.
14:54
Speaker 3: The GOP numbers don't work.
14:57
Speaker 1: Talking's good.
14:58
Speaker 6: Save Acts a waste of time.
14:59
Speaker 3: Some Senate republic Flicans are irritated that President Trump incinerated
15:02
Speaker 3: GOP plans to renew the Anti Terrorism Program fires A
15:06
Speaker 3: Section seven oh two and stymied rapid confirmation of National
15:09
Speaker 3: Intelligence Director nominee Jakeleyton.
15:12
Speaker 5: We have very candid conversations. I am very direct with
15:17
Speaker 5: the President. I shoot straight with him and vice versa,
15:20
Speaker 5: and you know we at times have differences of opinion GOP.
15:23
Speaker 3: Florida Senator Rick scott bypassed through and inviting the President
15:27
Speaker 3: to Capitol Hill to pitch the Save America Act.
15:30
Speaker 6: My experience in business is that you will sit down
15:32
Speaker 6: with people and find out what their needs are and
15:33
Speaker 6: try to solve it.
15:34
Speaker 3: The President is pressuring Soon.
15:36
Speaker 4: John's a leader. That's what being his leader. Bet John
15:39
Speaker 4: is a leader, and hopefully he can get the votes.
15:41
Speaker 3: Democrats anticipate intra party GOP fighting.
15:45
Speaker 7: Trump only will talk to Senate Republicans behind closed doors,
15:49
Speaker 7: and from what it looks like, that ain't going to
15:52
Speaker 7: be pretty now.
15:54
Speaker 1: The President clearly is trying to get this done. The
15:58
Speaker 1: Save Act isn't even controversial. American citizens should only be
16:02
Speaker 1: the ones that vote in our elections. That is not controversial.
16:06
Speaker 1: Congressman Wesley Hunt, African American talking about this issue, and
16:10
Speaker 1: it's an important one because Democrats say the Save Act
16:13
Speaker 1: is going to actually disenfranchise African American voters. That and
16:17
Speaker 1: you want to talking about racism. Their actual argument is
16:20
Speaker 1: you can't expect black people minorities to have a form
16:25
Speaker 1: of government. ID Now, if that's not racism, one oh one,
16:28
Speaker 1: I don't know what is Wesley Hunt saying this in Congress.
16:34
Speaker 1: Take a listen.
16:34
Speaker 7: But if the United States is a country worth preserving,
16:36
Speaker 7: then I think we must protect the integrity of our
16:39
Speaker 7: elections and do everything in our power to do just that.
16:42
Speaker 7: I am shocked at the Save Act, which has already
16:44
Speaker 7: passed the House. Even controversial in safeguarding our elections is.
16:47
Speaker 1: The betrock of our democracy is.
16:49
Speaker 7: Something that both sides, sides should easily support. They say
16:52
Speaker 7: that non citizens voting in the election is not a
16:54
Speaker 7: real issue, or if some naciitists are ready for the vote,
16:56
Speaker 7: it's not seaf can amount to make a difference. Well,
16:58
Speaker 7: in my hostead of Texas, we just removed thousands of
17:02
Speaker 7: non citizens from voter rolls, and in some of these
17:04
Speaker 7: recently hotly contested elections that amount could even be enough
17:09
Speaker 7: to swing an entire election. Undermining the integrity of elections
17:13
Speaker 7: is not an oversight. It's a threat to democracy. I
17:16
Speaker 7: think is tom that we as a body acknowledged that threat.
17:20
Speaker 5: Now.
17:20
Speaker 7: I'm sitting here right now, and I got to tell y'all,
17:22
Speaker 7: I'm black, and I'm a veteran. I have six forms
17:25
Speaker 7: of the government ID six. I've been black from a
17:28
Speaker 7: whole life. I've been a veteran since two thousand when
17:30
Speaker 7: I was at West Point. The insinuation that black and
17:33
Speaker 7: brown people cannot get an ID to vote like every
17:37
Speaker 7: other citizen, regardless of your race, religion, color, or creed
17:40
Speaker 7: is insulting. I actually refer to this as the soft
17:43
Speaker 7: bigotry of low expectations. We as all Americans, should want
17:49
Speaker 7: free and fair elections. We aren't making it more difficult
17:52
Speaker 7: for people to get an ID to vote. Every last
17:55
Speaker 7: black person that I know in my life has a
17:58
Speaker 7: government ID. As a country, have got to clean up
18:01
Speaker 7: our rules to ensure that we have free and fair
18:04
Speaker 7: elections regardless of your race, religion, color, or creed. And
18:07
Speaker 7: that's why I reject the assertion that we, no matter
18:11
Speaker 7: what color you are, cannot reach that very low bar
18:15
Speaker 7: of having a government id to figure out how to
18:17
Speaker 7: vote for the leadership and the future of this country.
18:20
Speaker 1: Could not agree more with what was said there by
18:23
Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt. I want you to hear what President Trump
18:27
Speaker 1: had to say earlier today about the Save Act, and
18:31
Speaker 1: this comes again as he's meeting with a Senate for
18:34
Speaker 1: their luncheon. Here's what he.
18:35
Speaker 8: Said, And we will pass the Save America Act to
18:40
Speaker 8: protect our sacred American ala. And in the Save America Act,
18:51
Speaker 8: it's very simple of voters. My show a photo voter ID.
18:56
Speaker 1: Very nice, May we see a picture?
18:58
Speaker 9: Please?
19:00
Speaker 8: All voters must provide proof of citizenship and there will
19:04
Speaker 8: be no mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment,
19:08
Speaker 8: or travel. And we will also in that same bill
19:15
Speaker 8: and shrine in permanent law no men in women's sports
19:23
Speaker 8: and no transgender surgery for our children. So, together with
19:30
Speaker 8: the help of patriots throughout Pennsylvania.
19:33
Speaker 1: And all across the land, you listen to the President.
19:37
Speaker 1: He's not backing down. That's exactly why I think some
19:41
Speaker 1: of you will voted for him. But if you want
19:42
Speaker 1: to know what he's up against the Senate, I'll give
19:44
Speaker 1: you another headline to just prove the point that you
19:46
Speaker 1: have centers there who have lost their power, Republicans, and
19:49
Speaker 1: they're just going to try to screw him. The Senate
19:52
Speaker 1: has now voted to adopt the War Powers Resolution limiting
19:55
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's military authority over the Iran issue. It voted
20:00
Speaker 1: in favor of a war Powers resolution to limit Donald
20:03
Speaker 1: Trump's military authorization of Iran, which directs him to pull
20:05
Speaker 1: the United States military troops out of the conflict with Iran.
20:10
Speaker 1: It was a fifty to forty eight vote. The Senate
20:13
Speaker 1: adopted the War Powers Resolution, which instructs Trump to remove
20:15
Speaker 1: the United States armed forces from hostilities against the Islamic
20:18
Speaker 1: Republic of Iran. By the way, you know who. This
20:21
Speaker 1: is a winner for one person, one person only. That
20:23
Speaker 1: is a group people, the IRGC. This is a win
20:26
Speaker 1: for Iran and for terrorist group Hamasen has Blot and
20:30
Speaker 1: the other ones a fund. The resolution was described as
20:33
Speaker 1: being concurrent, which means Trump's signature is not needed, according
20:36
Speaker 1: to media reports. Now I go back to why the
20:41
Speaker 1: Save Act not passing? All right? Look at this vote.
20:44
Speaker 1: Republican Senator Susan Collins, Republican from Maine, Bill Cassi, the
20:48
Speaker 1: same one that's screwing us on the Savac from Louisiana,
20:51
Speaker 1: Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, and Ran Paul as you know,
20:55
Speaker 1: Rampaul's his own breed Republican from Kentucky joined with this
21:00
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats and supporting the war Powers resolution. John Fetterman,
21:04
Speaker 1: by the way, Democrat who's actingly a Republican. God bless
21:07
Speaker 1: this guy, opposed it. Now. The Senate's adoption of the
21:10
Speaker 1: war Powers resolution comes after the House vote on June
21:13
Speaker 1: third in favor of the resolution after three previous failed attempts.
21:17
Speaker 1: According to the latest records, So the Senates delivered a
21:20
Speaker 1: symbolic rebuke to Trump's war in Iran, adopting a war
21:24
Speaker 1: Powers resolution fifty to forty eight. And you've got these
21:26
Speaker 1: four senators that hate Donald Trump, and they're like, yeah,
21:29
Speaker 1: we'll go along with this now. The video posted on
21:33
Speaker 1: x y c SPAN. Senator Jim Reich, a Republican from Idaho,
21:37
Speaker 1: chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, called upon his
21:40
Speaker 1: colleagues to pose the measure, adding that there are no
21:43
Speaker 1: armed forces at the moment that are engaged in hostilities
21:47
Speaker 1: in Iran. By the way, that's true, So you would
21:49
Speaker 1: think that that would be an important data point. Not
21:53
Speaker 1: if you hate Donald Trump, not if you're a just
21:55
Speaker 1: grunt to a Republican.
21:56
Speaker 9: This is a House concurrent resolution with States and operative
22:00
Speaker 9: part quote Congress directs the President to remove United States
22:04
Speaker 9: armed forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
22:08
Speaker 9: I'm going to urge everyone to vote know on this.
22:11
Speaker 9: It is wrong on so many levels, starting with the
22:13
Speaker 9: fact that a concurrent resolution process, which this attempts to do,
22:19
Speaker 9: has been held unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
22:23
Speaker 9: So whatever happens with this, it's going to have no effect.
22:25
Speaker 9: President isn't going to pay any attention to it.
22:28
Speaker 1: That's one thing.
22:28
Speaker 9: The second thing that's wrong with this is it directs
22:30
Speaker 9: him to remove United States armed forces from hostilities. There
22:35
Speaker 9: are no armed forces at this moment that are engaged
22:40
Speaker 9: in hostilities with Iran. The third thing, and the most
22:43
Speaker 9: important thing, is that voting on this, whether it passes
22:47
Speaker 9: or fails, sends a message to Iran. If this passes,
22:52
Speaker 9: the Iranians are going to simply stand up and walk
22:54
Speaker 9: away from negotiations.
22:56
Speaker 1: They're going to say this thing's over.
22:57
Speaker 9: The Congress has told the President United States, leave us alone.
23:01
Speaker 9: We can do whatever we want to do and they
23:03
Speaker 9: will walk away. If you think that's a good idea,
23:06
Speaker 9: you should vote for this. On the other hand, if
23:08
Speaker 9: you believe that what the President of the United States
23:11
Speaker 9: has done, and that is bring the Iranians to the
23:14
Speaker 9: table to negotiate on items that they have refused to
23:19
Speaker 9: negotiate on for a long time in the past, and
23:22
Speaker 9: has used the armed forces of the United States to
23:26
Speaker 9: bring them to the table, then you should vote know
23:28
Speaker 9: on this. Let diplomacy work, Give the President, give the
23:32
Speaker 9: Department of State, give the current administration the ability to
23:38
Speaker 9: once again give orun the opportunity to do the right thing.
23:43
Speaker 8: Maybe they will.
23:44
Speaker 9: We don't know for sure yet because we have some
23:46
Speaker 9: fifty some days left of the negotiations, but we ought
23:50
Speaker 9: to at least give that an opportunity to work. I
23:54
Speaker 9: urge everyone to vote know on the resolution. Thank you,
23:58
Speaker 9: mister President.
24:00
Speaker 1: Foreign Relations Chair saying this, What did Republicans do? The
24:03
Speaker 1: ones that are angry at Trump, like, God, we don't care,
24:06
Speaker 1: Like we will be useful idiots for the Democratic Party
24:09
Speaker 1: and we will go with the Democratic Party and that
24:11
Speaker 1: would just be how this works, because who cares about
24:15
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump says? By the way, This isn't even
24:18
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. This is about what the American people
24:23
Speaker 1: are saying they want. And so they're like, all right,
24:27
Speaker 1: save Act. Yeah, we know Americans won don't. We don't
24:29
Speaker 1: care right to say? I mean, House conservatives are threatened
24:34
Speaker 1: ing by the way, now, this is just breaking to
24:37
Speaker 1: oppose any bill from the Senate until it passes the
24:39
Speaker 1: Save America Act. This is again, this is just breaking.
24:43
Speaker 1: Moments ago, listen.
24:44
Speaker 3: Conservatives are threatening to oppose anything from the Senate until
24:48
Speaker 3: it passes the Save America Act. They want the president
24:51
Speaker 3: to veto a bipartisan housing bill.
24:54
Speaker 1: Right wow, So now you have House conservatives that are threatened,
25:00
Speaker 1: and by the way, Democrats are loving this. I want
25:02
Speaker 1: to be clear. So now you've got a civil war
25:05
Speaker 1: between the Republicans hold out to four in the Senate
25:11
Speaker 1: against the House. And several of the members of those
25:14
Speaker 1: four are going to be out of office. They don't care, Okay,
25:19
Speaker 1: like they don't care, and they want to burn down
25:22
Speaker 1: this country because they're mad that they lost their power. Now.
25:26
Speaker 1: President Trump also in another speech, he confirmed, look, I
25:31
Speaker 1: know I got some guys that are against me. I
25:33
Speaker 1: know this, I really am.
25:34
Speaker 8: But that's how bad it is, and we're going to
25:38
Speaker 8: have to push the Senate because you have four or
25:39
Speaker 8: five senators that are.
25:43
Speaker 10: I don't know, four or five Republican senators. You'll have
25:46
Speaker 10: to explain them to me. But we're not going to
25:48
Speaker 10: get into that. But we're going to push them to
25:50
Speaker 10: get it done because I don't think you can politically
25:53
Speaker 10: exist if you're not going to do voter idea in
25:55
Speaker 10: these things. I don't think the people in this country
25:57
Speaker 10: will stand for it. So I'm making my biggest pleach.
26:00
Speaker 10: It'll make you and I'm not doing it for this
26:03
Speaker 10: reason at all. It'll guarantee the midterms. It'll guarantee the midterms.
26:10
Speaker 10: If you don't get it, big trouble my opinion. If
26:14
Speaker 10: you get this your midterms and they know it for
26:17
Speaker 10: two reasons. Number one, they won't be able to cheat,
26:20
Speaker 10: and number two, the people are demanding it. Every time
26:24
Speaker 10: I go out, Save America, sir, Save America Act.
26:27
Speaker 1: We want the Save America Acts, sir.
26:30
Speaker 10: That's all they talk about. They don't talk about housing,
26:33
Speaker 10: they don't talk about anything.
26:34
Speaker 1: That's what they talk about.
26:36
Speaker 10: And if you send it up that you're gonna win
26:38
Speaker 10: the midterms at levels that you can't even believe, and
26:41
Speaker 10: you're gonna win every election for a long time until
26:44
Speaker 10: somebody really screws things up, and hopefully that won't happen.
26:48
Speaker 1: So there's the President making it clear in his words like, hey,
26:53
Speaker 1: I'm doing everything I can here. We know where the
26:55
Speaker 1: American people stand on this, but I got these four
26:58
Speaker 1: or five Republicans that it's just a hard problem. Now.
27:01
Speaker 1: The Republicans in the civil war back and forth that
27:05
Speaker 1: we're describing right now, it's going to be a problem.
27:09
Speaker 1: Mike Lee also reveals some Republicans are organizing hit pieces
27:13
Speaker 1: against him and the Save Act as well, so you
27:16
Speaker 1: have even more of a civil war. Is Mike Lee
27:19
Speaker 1: put it outside the Senate. He said this about Thune
27:23
Speaker 1: and about Cornin.
27:25
Speaker 6: It's often said that in Washington, no good deed goes unpunished.
27:29
Speaker 6: I've been trying to advocate for the Save America Act,
27:31
Speaker 6: making the case for it, not attacking my colleagues. I'm
27:34
Speaker 6: not engaging in personal ad hominem criticism of individuals, rather
27:41
Speaker 6: making the case for why we ought to do this.
27:44
Speaker 1: That's not an attack.
27:46
Speaker 6: It's therefore a little surprising and somewhat ironic when some
27:50
Speaker 6: of the same people who are criticizing me for doing this,
27:53
Speaker 6: are saying that my advocacy for the Save America Act
27:56
Speaker 6: somehow amounts to an attack on Senate Republicans when the
28:00
Speaker 6: other ones orchestrating the hit pieces and making personal attacks.
28:04
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
28:05
Speaker 6: Regardless, we got to move this thing forward.
28:08
Speaker 1: So he's clearly referring to I think Thune and corn
28:12
Speaker 1: In on this, and as he describes, a little surprised
28:15
Speaker 1: that somewhat ironic when some of the same people who
28:18
Speaker 1: say my advocacy for the Save America Act somehow amounts
28:22
Speaker 1: to an attack on Senate Republicans when they're the ones
28:24
Speaker 1: orchestrating the hit pieces and making personal attacks. I don't
28:28
Speaker 1: get it, forces the floor leader Thune. That's what he's saying.
28:33
Speaker 1: I agree with him. You force it. Your job is
28:37
Speaker 1: to fight. The American people overwhelmingly support this seventy five
28:41
Speaker 1: plus percent depending on what poll you look at. And
28:45
Speaker 1: by the way, Donald Trump fired back at Thune, saying
28:50
Speaker 1: this as well about the Save Act in an interview
28:54
Speaker 1: getting on Air Force one.
28:56
Speaker 4: Well, we're just going to talk about Save America. We
28:59
Speaker 4: have to get we have to pass the Save America Act,
29:02
Speaker 4: which is voter ID, which is proof of citizenship, et cetera.
29:05
Speaker 4: We have to pass it. So we're gonna have to
29:07
Speaker 4: talk about that in many other things, a lot of
29:09
Speaker 4: good relations and authority.
29:12
Speaker 8: Leader John Joy has told you many times he doesn't
29:15
Speaker 8: believe that they have.
29:16
Speaker 1: The vote.
29:18
Speaker 2: Vote.
29:18
Speaker 1: You know, he's a leader. John's a leader. That's what
29:21
Speaker 1: being as a leader.
29:21
Speaker 8: Pat.
29:22
Speaker 4: Look, we have to be able to get proof of
29:24
Speaker 4: citizenship when you vote, otherwise we don't have elections. We
29:28
Speaker 4: have to be able to get voter ID. So John
29:31
Speaker 4: is a leader and hopefully he can get the votes.
29:33
Speaker 1: John is a leader, and that's a Lincoln and nod
29:35
Speaker 1: like dude, like do your job, Like what are you
29:38
Speaker 1: doing here? Mike Lee? And again he's on and all
29:42
Speaker 1: at war blasting senators who are holding up to Save
29:44
Speaker 1: America Act. I have yet to hear a legitimate argument
29:47
Speaker 1: against the bill. They don't really just want to make
29:49
Speaker 1: it so he's a vote. They're willing to make it
29:51
Speaker 1: easier to cheat, is how he described on Capitol Hill
29:55
Speaker 1: earlier today. And by the way, Mike Lee is right
29:57
Speaker 1: on this one. I mean, we want free and fair elections.
30:02
Speaker 1: The American people say they want free and fair elections.
30:05
Speaker 1: Why would you stop this if you're a Republican. It
30:09
Speaker 1: is personal. It's because they hate Trump and that's why
30:12
Speaker 1: they're holding out. Well, keep following this story. I can
30:15
Speaker 1: promise you that we've got a lot more that's going
30:18
Speaker 1: to happen the days ahead, So make sure you don't forget.
