0:01
Speaker 1: Donald Trump not holding back his thoughts on John Brennan
0:04
Speaker 1: and James Coming. They're both under investigation apparently right now.
0:08
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the latest on that.
0:10
Speaker 1: As the former CIA director went on TV today, I
0:13
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a very smart move, saying
0:15
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're investigating me about.
0:17
Speaker 2: I'm going to have that for you in a moment.
0:19
Speaker 1: We're also going to deal with the sanctuary cities, and
0:23
Speaker 1: they are piling up now. This is clearly part of
0:25
Speaker 1: the Democrats plan to stand up to Donald Trump and
0:28
Speaker 1: the actual law.
0:29
Speaker 2: And they're saying we're sanctuary city.
0:32
Speaker 1: ICE agents aren't welcome this after there were agents that
0:36
Speaker 1: were actually attacked. I'm going to give you that story
0:38
Speaker 1: also in just a minute. Well, I mean also reminds
0:41
Speaker 1: you about my good friends over at Patriot Mobile. I
0:44
Speaker 1: realize there are many choices when it comes to who
0:46
Speaker 1: you choose for your cell phone service, but there are
0:48
Speaker 1: new ones popping up all the time.
0:50
Speaker 2: Here's the truth.
0:51
Speaker 1: There's only one that boldly stands the gap for every
0:54
Speaker 1: America that believes that freedom is actually worth fighting for,
0:57
Speaker 1: and that's Patrion Mobile.
0:58
Speaker 2: For more than twelve years, Mobile has.
1:00
Speaker 1: Been on the front lines fighting for our God given
1:02
Speaker 1: rights and freedoms, while also providing you exceptional nationwide cell
1:07
Speaker 1: phone service with access to not one, not two, but
1:10
Speaker 1: all three of the main networks in the country.
1:14
Speaker 2: So don't just take my word for it.
1:15
Speaker 1: You can ask literally the hundreds of thousands Americans who
1:18
Speaker 1: made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe
1:21
Speaker 1: in with every phone call they made. Because Patriot Mobile,
1:24
Speaker 1: they take it out five percent of your bill every
1:28
Speaker 1: single month, no.
1:29
Speaker 2: Extra cost to you.
1:30
Speaker 1: They give it back to organizations at supporter first or
1:32
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights that also stand with our wounded warriors
1:36
Speaker 1: and those that have fallen serving our country.
1:39
Speaker 2: That is why I want you to switch Patriot Mobile.
1:42
Speaker 1: Switching's never been easier, activating minutes from the comfort of
1:45
Speaker 1: your home or office. Keep your same number, keep your
1:47
Speaker 1: same phone, or upgrade to a new one. So go
1:49
Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ferguson. That's my last name,
1:54
Speaker 1: he's promo code Ferguson. You're gonna have to get a
1:56
Speaker 1: free month of service. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash
1:59
Speaker 1: Ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot and you can
2:01
Speaker 1: make the switch today. All right, So let me give
2:04
Speaker 1: you the background on this first big story. John Brennan,
2:07
Speaker 1: former CIA director, he went out on TV today and
2:12
Speaker 1: he responded to the FBI launching this investigation into John
2:16
Speaker 1: Brennan and James Comy over the Trump Russia probe. Now,
2:20
Speaker 1: the FBI launching this investigation into the former CIA director
2:24
Speaker 1: and the FBI director with their roles surrounding President Donald
2:28
Speaker 1: Trump and the Russian alleged collusion.
2:31
Speaker 2: Now, the reality is this is a coup attempt.
2:33
Speaker 1: The deep state said, we don't like Donald Trump, can't
2:35
Speaker 1: believe the American people voted for him. We thought we'd
2:37
Speaker 1: gotten this thing rigged Hillary Clinton loss, why she sucked
2:40
Speaker 1: as a candidate. We all know that Donald Trump wins.
2:43
Speaker 1: And they're like, all right, well, here's what we're gonna do.
2:45
Speaker 1: We're just gonna get rid of Donald Trump, and we're
2:46
Speaker 1: gonna impeach him, and we're gonna say that he was
2:48
Speaker 1: doing all these terrible.
2:49
Speaker 2: Things, and then we'll put some of his friends in jail.
2:52
Speaker 2: They'll give us.
2:52
Speaker 1: Something illegal that he did, and then bam, it's a
2:55
Speaker 1: coup attempt, and now we get to do exactly what
2:56
Speaker 1: we want. That didn't work out the way they thought
3:00
Speaker 1: it was going too clearly, now they've raided his house,
3:02
Speaker 1: they went to mar A Lago, they try to lock
3:04
Speaker 1: up his family. They'll never stop because they're the deep State.
3:07
Speaker 1: But John Brennan is now going out on national TV
3:11
Speaker 1: and he's saying a.
3:12
Speaker 2: Bunch of things. Now, let me also be clear.
3:14
Speaker 1: The President at the at a meeting today at the
3:16
Speaker 1: White House. He was asked by the press about this,
3:19
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what he had to
3:21
Speaker 1: say in his own words. Listen carefully as the press says, Hey,
3:24
Speaker 1: what about this investigation.
3:27
Speaker 2: President Trump?
3:28
Speaker 3: James Comy, and John Brennan now under criminal investigation.
3:31
Speaker 2: Related to the Trump Rush of probe? Do you want
3:34
Speaker 2: to see these two guys behind bars?
3:38
Speaker 4: Well, I know nothing about it other than what I
3:40
Speaker 4: read today, but I will tell you I think they're
3:44
Speaker 4: very dishonest people. I think they're crooked as hell, and
3:49
Speaker 4: maybe they have to pay a price for that. I
3:52
Speaker 4: believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So
3:57
Speaker 4: whatever happens happens.
3:58
Speaker 1: I love his response. Whatever happens happens, right, President Trump reacting, Well,
4:03
Speaker 1: I don't really know here. I'm not saying they should
4:05
Speaker 1: be in jail. I think they're very dishonest people. I
4:07
Speaker 1: think they're very cricket people. And you know, I think
4:10
Speaker 1: they're a crooked as hell, and maybe they have to
4:11
Speaker 1: pay a price for that, he said. I believe they
4:14
Speaker 1: are truly bad people and dishonest people. So whatever happens
4:17
Speaker 1: happens now. This is like the ultimate game of chess,
4:21
Speaker 1: right Others are playing checkers. Others are playing checkers, and
4:26
Speaker 1: he's playing chess right now.
4:28
Speaker 2: And there's people that are.
4:29
Speaker 1: Trying to like distract him from the real issues here.
4:32
Speaker 1: And the reality is the president is going to be
4:36
Speaker 1: able to pull this off and sit back and see
4:39
Speaker 1: what actually happens.
4:41
Speaker 2: There's also something else I want to play for you.
4:43
Speaker 1: John Brennan, he was asked about this investigation. Here's what
4:47
Speaker 1: he had to say on MSNBC about it, acting like
4:50
Speaker 1: he knows nothing about it all, Like I don't know anything.
4:54
Speaker 1: I don't know anything that's going on. I'm just John Brennan,
4:56
Speaker 1: former CIA director. I'm just sitting in my house, just
4:58
Speaker 1: doing an interview on US.
5:00
Speaker 5: Now is our guest John Brennan here for his first
5:03
Speaker 5: public comments on this news.
5:05
Speaker 2: Director Brennan, thank you.
5:06
Speaker 3: For being here.
5:08
Speaker 2: Good to see Nicole, tell me if I have.
5:11
Speaker 5: Left anything out of the fact pattern, if you go
5:15
Speaker 5: back to your role in government and the way the
5:19
Speaker 5: assessment was put together about Russia's role in the twenty
5:23
Speaker 5: sixteen presidential election.
5:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, as Jogi Berra has famously said, as stajaboo
5:29
Speaker 3: all over again, it is hard to believe that here
5:32
Speaker 3: you are, eight and a half years afterward, we're still
5:34
Speaker 3: going over at this ground that has been I think
5:36
Speaker 3: fairly well and exhaustively plowed. First of all, I should
5:39
Speaker 3: say I know nothing about this reported investigation or referral
5:43
Speaker 3: to the dj other than what I've read in these
5:46
Speaker 3: press reports, these leaks which are not really supposed to
5:49
Speaker 3: happen if there is an investigation going on. Secondly, nobody
5:52
Speaker 3: from the FBI or Department of Justice for CIA has
5:55
Speaker 3: reached out to me at all. So I am just
5:58
Speaker 3: waiting to hear more about what this might be. And
6:01
Speaker 3: so again I appreciate the opportunity to.
6:04
Speaker 2: Talk to you today.
6:05
Speaker 3: I'm very proud of the work that the women and
6:07
Speaker 3: men of the CIA and of other elements the intellis
6:10
Speaker 3: community did eight and a half years ago when they
6:12
Speaker 3: put together this Intelligence Community assessment. We went to great
6:15
Speaker 3: lens to protect the integrity of the process, the integrity
6:19
Speaker 3: and the sensitivity of the intelligence involved, as well as
6:21
Speaker 3: to protect the identities of individuals that may have been
6:24
Speaker 3: implicated in some of this intelligence, including from the Trump administration.
6:28
Speaker 3: And so we went to whatever lens we needed to
6:31
Speaker 3: do to go to in order to make sure that
6:34
Speaker 3: we're able to follow through with the President Obama's request
6:37
Speaker 3: that a comprehensive and exhaustive review be done of Russian
6:41
Speaker 3: interference in twenty sixteen election, because he and others realized
6:45
Speaker 3: that the Russians were going to continue to do this
6:47
Speaker 3: in subsequent elections, and he wanted to make sure that
6:49
Speaker 3: we were going to have the collection of information and
6:53
Speaker 3: intelligence that we then could hand over to our successors.
6:58
Speaker 3: And as you pointed out, it had been US reviews
7:01
Speaker 3: of this intelscreeny assessment, and the process went through the
7:04
Speaker 3: bipartisans and in tells US to good report, to the
7:06
Speaker 3: Dorm investigation, other types of things which validated it. And indeed,
7:10
Speaker 3: as you pointed out, the CI note this tradecraft review,
7:13
Speaker 3: and I will point out there was a serious violation
7:15
Speaker 3: in terms of what they did. They never interviewed me
7:18
Speaker 3: or Jim Clapper, two of the people involved in this
7:21
Speaker 3: before putting this thing out, But it says in there
7:24
Speaker 3: that the rigor of the analysis in that intel screen
7:28
Speaker 3: assessment exceeded that of most other Intelscomuny assessments. So again,
7:32
Speaker 3: I think this is unfortunately a very sad and tragic
7:37
Speaker 3: example of the continued politization of the intelli's community, of
7:41
Speaker 3: the nascrity process, And quite frankly, I'm really shocked that
7:45
Speaker 3: individuals who are willing to sacrifice their reputations, their credibility,
7:49
Speaker 3: their decency to continue to do Donald Trump's bidding on
7:53
Speaker 3: something that clearly is just politically based.
7:57
Speaker 2: Jeff, politically based. So let me get this straight.
8:00
Speaker 1: The same guy that pushed Russia collusion to try to
8:04
Speaker 1: overthrow the will of the people is now claiming that
8:08
Speaker 1: when we're investigating him for knowingly perpetrating a lie on
8:13
Speaker 1: the American people and trying to overthrow the will of
8:15
Speaker 1: the people in a free and fair election, it is
8:18
Speaker 1: just partisan and political. Now, Now, I also go back
8:22
Speaker 1: to the point that he made, which is, I don't
8:25
Speaker 1: believe that John Brennan, the Formacy director, is this dumb
8:28
Speaker 1: at all. I think he knows exactly what he's doing,
8:32
Speaker 1: and he said in the interview quote, I'm clueless about
8:34
Speaker 1: what it is exactly.
8:35
Speaker 2: That they are investigating me for.
8:38
Speaker 1: Really, you don't know that it's for exactly what I
8:42
Speaker 1: just told you it's for, Like you're this dumb. I
8:45
Speaker 1: don't believe you. I think the American people, by the way,
8:48
Speaker 1: do not believe you. And I think this is a
8:52
Speaker 1: moment in time. You're going to remember this for a
8:55
Speaker 1: long time. John Brennan now on the other end of it,
8:59
Speaker 1: what he used to do to other people is now
9:00
Speaker 1: happening to him. But the difference is he went after
9:03
Speaker 1: innocent people and John Brennan very well could be guilty
9:06
Speaker 1: as hell. In fact, let me just play for you
9:10
Speaker 1: this back and forth MSNBC John Brennan in him acting
9:14
Speaker 1: like the dumbest CIA director in the world, like I
9:16
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. I don't know why they'd
9:18
Speaker 1: be investigating me.
9:20
Speaker 5: My colleague Kendelanian is reporting that TJ has essentially confirmed
9:27
Speaker 5: a criminal investigation has been opened or a referral has
9:31
Speaker 5: been made. Do you believe that to be true? And
9:35
Speaker 5: if that's the case, what would the process be for
9:39
Speaker 5: you to be aware of that, made aware of that.
9:44
Speaker 2: Quite factly, I don't know what is true.
9:46
Speaker 3: You know, there's so many things that get out into
9:48
Speaker 3: the media bloodstream, and it's interesting that it was I
9:51
Speaker 3: think Fox News and your posts or reporting things like this.
9:55
Speaker 3: So I don't know whether or not there's any validity
9:58
Speaker 3: to it. If there is, it was referral is an investigation.
10:01
Speaker 3: Presumably if there is an investigation, that people will be questioned.
10:05
Speaker 3: I would be questioned about it. But again I've had
10:07
Speaker 3: no contact from them. But again I testified in front
10:11
Speaker 3: of many many congressional committees in the House and the
10:13
Speaker 3: Senate over the years, and I continue to explain exactly
10:17
Speaker 3: what we did during this process, why we tried to
10:20
Speaker 3: make sure we stay true to our intelligence responsibilities and
10:24
Speaker 3: that we were not going to do anything at all
10:26
Speaker 3: to try to interfere in that election. And again it
10:29
Speaker 3: was a challenging time, but also one I think that
10:33
Speaker 3: the people who actually worked this, both in terms of
10:36
Speaker 3: trying to collect intelligence prior to the election and then
10:38
Speaker 3: the ones who put together intell assessment, they really I
10:41
Speaker 3: think showed the best of what the intelligence community and
10:44
Speaker 3: what CIA is made of. So again I am clueless
10:48
Speaker 3: about what it is exactly that they may be investigating
10:51
Speaker 3: me for cluus.
10:53
Speaker 1: I'm just clueus about exactly what they may be investigating me.
10:57
Speaker 1: For you the CI director, former CIED direct come on
11:01
Speaker 1: really like for real. He also, by the way, wasn't
11:04
Speaker 1: done there. He wanted to go after Donald Trump as well.
11:07
Speaker 1: And he's trying to say to all parsonship, that's the
11:09
Speaker 1: same guy that weaponized the CIA to try to overthrow
11:13
Speaker 1: the will of the people, knowing that what he was
11:16
Speaker 1: pushing was a lie, knowing that there was no collusion
11:19
Speaker 1: between Donald Trump and Russia, and now he's using the
11:23
Speaker 1: same type of line to like flip it and be like, oh, well,
11:26
Speaker 1: we're just we're just you know, Donald Trump's gone rogue here.
11:31
Speaker 5: What do you think will happen next? If Ratcliffe's note
11:37
Speaker 5: has been sent along to dj AS has been reported
11:41
Speaker 5: as some sort of predicate to investigate you criminally.
11:46
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's so said and tragic, and you know,
11:49
Speaker 3: I keep thinking, Okay, this is the authoritarian playbook. We've
11:51
Speaker 3: seen this play out so many times, and unfortunately, I
11:54
Speaker 3: think we're seeing it play out. And a number of
11:57
Speaker 3: academics and writers have pointed out that Carl Schmidt, who
12:00
Speaker 3: was a German jurist, political philosopher and writer in the
12:04
Speaker 3: nineteen thirties. His thesis, which Nazi Germany and you know
12:08
Speaker 3: basically took up, was don't worry about doing something that
12:12
Speaker 3: is ethical or principled or good or right. Do whatever
12:16
Speaker 3: you can to win. Vanquish your adversaries, vanquish your enemies.
12:20
Speaker 3: And unfortunately, we have seen that happening overseas. We've seen
12:23
Speaker 3: it in victor orban and Hungary, We've seen it with
12:25
Speaker 3: blablak Putin, we see it in China. The places we
12:28
Speaker 3: see it also in terms of you know, some of
12:30
Speaker 3: the foreign policies of being implemented, including you know, in
12:33
Speaker 3: the Middle East right now. So I really am very
12:36
Speaker 3: worried that what we're seeing now in this chapter of
12:39
Speaker 3: American history is a sad deterioration of I think, the
12:43
Speaker 3: respect for the rule of law and for our system
12:46
Speaker 3: of government. And if a president of the United States
12:50
Speaker 3: is willing to weaponize intelligence and justice, and you know,
12:54
Speaker 3: law enforcement investigators and the people who headed these departments
12:58
Speaker 3: and agencies are willing to bow to it, we really
13:02
Speaker 3: are in deep, deep trouble, which was why I think
13:06
Speaker 3: so many people are worried about the direction this country
13:08
Speaker 3: is taken. So this whole thing about the CI note
13:10
Speaker 3: and this possible referral of me and criminal investigation, I
13:14
Speaker 3: think is just symptomatic of a much broader disease that
13:18
Speaker 3: we are confronting right now in terms of how our
13:21
Speaker 3: democratic principles are being eroded and corroded as a result
13:25
Speaker 3: of this authoritarian march that we are witnessing every day.
13:29
Speaker 1: I love how they go back this every time he
13:32
Speaker 1: realizes now he's been busted, he realizes how much trouble
13:36
Speaker 1: he's in, he's playing dumb, and then he goes back to, well,
13:40
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to be a dictator and a
13:42
Speaker 1: tyrant and he's no different than Vladimir Putin. And I'll
13:45
Speaker 1: just slander him and say how terrible he is, even
13:48
Speaker 1: of the American people chose him again, right, Like, the
13:51
Speaker 1: American people chose him again. And he's like, and this
13:55
Speaker 1: is just what dictators and tyrants do. And they run
13:58
Speaker 1: down this road and they're just psycho and they're and
14:00
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't even know what they're investigating
14:02
Speaker 1: me for.
14:02
Speaker 2: And this is just.
14:03
Speaker 1: Another one of those examples, Like I'm sorry, it makes
14:06
Speaker 1: me laugh. It makes me laugh because everything that he
14:11
Speaker 1: is accusing Donald Trump of doing is exactly what the
14:15
Speaker 1: former FBI director James Comy and the CIA director FORMERCYIA
14:19
Speaker 1: director John Brennan did, Like every single thing that they say.
14:23
Speaker 1: They weaponized the government. They went after his family, they
14:27
Speaker 1: went after his friends, they went after the people that
14:29
Speaker 1: worked with him. Why did they do that. They did
14:32
Speaker 1: it for one reason, leverage. They were trying to overthrow
14:37
Speaker 1: the will of the people. It was a coup attempt.
14:40
Speaker 1: That is what it was, plain and simple. It was
14:43
Speaker 1: a coup attempt.
14:45
Speaker 2: And so now that it's being investigated.
14:48
Speaker 1: For literally what it was, it's like there's this moment
14:52
Speaker 1: where they're like, all right, what do I go back
14:54
Speaker 1: to it?
14:54
Speaker 2: Let's just go back to work.
14:55
Speaker 1: Last time, We'll just say Donald Trump is you know,
14:57
Speaker 1: orange Man, evil, orange Man, bad, Orange Man is the dictator.
15:00
Speaker 1: Orange Man's a tyrant. Orange Man's the worst person in
15:03
Speaker 1: the world, right, Donald Trump's worse, worse, worse, worse, worse person.
15:07
Speaker 2: In the world.
15:08
Speaker 1: And we just say that over and over and over
15:11
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And if we just keep
15:15
Speaker 1: saying that, then at some point maybe somebody will believe
15:20
Speaker 1: and somehow believe that I'm the victim, that I'm that
15:24
Speaker 1: somehow I'm the bad guy, that I that you know,
15:28
Speaker 1: or that I'm the victim and.
15:29
Speaker 2: Trump's the bad guy, is the best, the better way
15:31
Speaker 2: of saying it.
15:32
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody, by the way, to go to
15:35
Speaker 1: jail because they're a Democrat. I don't want anybody to
15:38
Speaker 1: go to jail because they're a partisanship. I want law
15:41
Speaker 1: and order. If John Brennan or James Comey actually broke
15:46
Speaker 1: the law, they should be held accountable for it. When
15:47
Speaker 1: they to abuse your position of power, like the CIA
15:51
Speaker 1: director can basically do and see and has unlimited funds
15:54
Speaker 1: to do and whatever they want to do. But when
15:56
Speaker 1: they when they push propaganda on the American people the
15:59
Speaker 1: way they did to interfere with an election, and then
16:02
Speaker 1: when that didn't work, they're still like.
16:04
Speaker 2: Eh, you know, like let's just let's just start.
16:10
Speaker 1: Entrapping people, just like General Flynn. They entrapped General Flynn.
16:15
Speaker 1: We all know it.
16:16
Speaker 2: And so when that happens, you have to look at.
16:18
Speaker 1: This and you have to think to yourself, is there
16:21
Speaker 1: anything that these people who are the leaders of the
16:24
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. By the way, I'll say it again, the
16:25
Speaker 1: democratic parce dead is filled with Marxist socialists and communist
16:29
Speaker 1: dictators and tyrants. John Brennan's a dictator and tyrant, no
16:33
Speaker 1: doubt about it. James Comey, same thing. They didn't get
16:36
Speaker 1: their way, right. They couldn't alter and change an election. Okay,
16:40
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. They couldn't alter and they couldn't
16:43
Speaker 1: change an election. So what do they do. They try
16:47
Speaker 1: to just overthrow the will of the people. By the way,
16:49
Speaker 1: they were trying to alter and change it, and they
16:51
Speaker 1: failed at it, and they still said, don't worry, we've
16:53
Speaker 1: got this.
16:54
Speaker 2: We'll come back.
16:55
Speaker 1: Don't worry, We'll still do it. Don't don't like, don't
17:00
Speaker 1: don't worry, we will still do it. We got this.
17:05
Speaker 1: Remember Peter Struck and Lisa Page I think that was
17:07
Speaker 1: their names. Uh remember remember when they were like, hey,
17:10
Speaker 1: we're gonna stop him. Don't worry, we're gonna stop him,
17:12
Speaker 1: referring to Trump after he got elected. And by the way,
17:15
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they tried to do.
17:17
Speaker 2: Like they did. They tried to stop him. They tried
17:19
Speaker 2: to stop.
17:19
Speaker 1: Like, believe them when they when they tell you what
17:22
Speaker 1: they're thinking. When those text messages came out. I'm like, yeah,
17:25
Speaker 1: there's a deep state. There is a deep state where
17:28
Speaker 1: this is actually what they believe, and they believe that
17:33
Speaker 1: they get to play above the rules of law that
17:35
Speaker 1: you and I have to play by. Anybody else does
17:37
Speaker 1: what these guys are doing, we'd be in prison, I
17:39
Speaker 1: have no doubt about it. But they think, well, I'm
17:41
Speaker 1: in charge, so I can do whatever the hell I
17:43
Speaker 1: want to do, I can overthrow our own government.
17:48
Speaker 2: Go back to Joe Biden last point on this.
17:52
Speaker 1: You have people in our government that knew he was
17:53
Speaker 1: incapacity and they said, we don't care, just weaken at
17:56
Speaker 1: Bernie's him, and we'll run the country even though we're
17:59
Speaker 1: elected by knowing that is also a coup attempt in
18:02
Speaker 1: a very different way.
18:04
Speaker 2: Never ever, ever forget that.
18:09
Speaker 1: All right, I want to move to another subject real quick.
18:11
Speaker 1: That is also one that goes back to Democrats. Make
18:14
Speaker 1: it clear they don't respect our laws in this country.
18:17
Speaker 1: It's very much what I was just talking about with
18:19
Speaker 1: the FBI, A former FBI and former CIA director, like,
18:22
Speaker 1: they do not respect our laws. We are now saying,
18:27
Speaker 1: and I guess this is like the Democrats mayors unionizing
18:30
Speaker 1: around the country. Uh, Chicago mayor coming out saying the
18:35
Speaker 1: city police won't cooperate with ICE. Now, you got to
18:40
Speaker 1: ask yourself the question why would they not cooperate with ICE?
18:45
Speaker 1: It is because they love illegal immigrants. They do not
18:48
Speaker 1: care about their own citizens at all. The Chicago Mayor,
18:53
Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson getting in with the La mayor now and
18:57
Speaker 1: said today that again, this is another example of how
19:01
Speaker 1: psycho the left has become, that the Wendy City Police
19:04
Speaker 1: will not ever cooperate with immigration comstoms enforcement ICE authorities.
19:10
Speaker 1: You know, again, it's uncomfortable at a time in which
19:13
Speaker 1: so many working people and poor people need government to
19:17
Speaker 1: show up for them, that this administration, the Trump administration,
19:21
Speaker 1: has caused so much consternation division, is what Johnson said
19:24
Speaker 1: at a press conference. He was responding, by the way,
19:28
Speaker 1: to a question about whether the city would use the
19:30
Speaker 1: police department to shield students from federal agents conducting immigration
19:34
Speaker 1: raids without warrants, saying, quote, look, we are a welcoming
19:38
Speaker 1: city ordinance, so you are clearly saying come here and.
19:42
Speaker 2: Break the law.
19:43
Speaker 1: Our local police department will never, ever, will not cooperate
19:46
Speaker 1: with ICE, whatever their concertitional authority is. That is obviously
19:51
Speaker 1: relegated to the Trump administration of our sister agency. City
19:55
Speaker 1: departments have been thoroughly briefed by a corporate council and
20:00
Speaker 1: I'll pass it over to her in a second about
20:02
Speaker 1: what they can and cannot do.
20:05
Speaker 2: Now.
20:06
Speaker 1: Look, Johnson is a Democrat, a hardcore Democrat, and the
20:09
Speaker 1: murder capital of the country. He's been a fierce critic
20:12
Speaker 1: of the Republican administration and the use of ICE to
20:16
Speaker 1: carry out immigration enforcement activities, which he says, we don't
20:19
Speaker 1: do that in Chicago. In June, by the way, the
20:22
Speaker 1: Chicago Sometimes reported that he that he urged city residents
20:26
Speaker 1: to rise up in this moment against ICE, saying, quote,
20:32
Speaker 1: this is a necessary fight for all of us to
20:35
Speaker 1: be able to push back. Johnson said, quote whether we
20:39
Speaker 1: use the courts or whether we continue to protest and
20:41
Speaker 1: raise our voices to scent matters in this moment. It's
20:45
Speaker 1: a war on our culture. So again, we don't have
20:48
Speaker 1: American culture. We're not a nation. We are some kumbaya,
20:52
Speaker 1: some culture of lawbreakers, right, that's what he's saying we
20:56
Speaker 1: are in this country. I couldn't disagree with them more.
20:58
Speaker 1: He goes on to say it's a war we are
21:00
Speaker 1: on our democracy. Well, hold on, democracy is about the
21:03
Speaker 1: rule of law. You guys are saying, we refuse to
21:05
Speaker 1: respect the rule of law, and you refuse to respect
21:09
Speaker 1: constitutional law, you refuse to respect the president of the
21:12
Speaker 1: United States of America. You're making up your own rules
21:16
Speaker 1: as you go. That's not a democracy, is it. He
21:19
Speaker 1: goes on to say, it's a war on our humanity.
21:23
Speaker 1: Tell that to the victims of illegal immigrants who have
21:26
Speaker 1: committed crimes. Tell that to the Americans that were under
21:29
Speaker 1: employed because of.
21:30
Speaker 2: The legal immigrant labor.
21:31
Speaker 1: By the way, we're witnessing a massive change right now
21:34
Speaker 1: and the number of Americans you are being hired because
21:37
Speaker 1: there are legal immigrants that are leaving this country on
21:40
Speaker 1: their own accordance, having a huge impact for American workers.
21:44
Speaker 1: Another great example of what they don't want to tell you.
21:48
Speaker 1: He said, it's a war on our humanity. I'm counting
21:51
Speaker 1: on all of Chicago to resist in this moment because
21:56
Speaker 1: whatever particularly vulnerable group is being target today, another group
22:01
Speaker 1: will be next. None of us are immune from this disease. Okay,
22:06
Speaker 1: so if I want law and order, I am now
22:09
Speaker 1: being referred to as a disease. Now, why would he
22:12
Speaker 1: do that? Well, because he when you have a disease, right,
22:15
Speaker 1: what do you do? You get rid of it? You
22:16
Speaker 1: exterminate it. That's very much how Adolf Hitler was talking
22:20
Speaker 1: back in the day about the Jews. Never forget right,
22:22
Speaker 1: they were a disease that must be we must get
22:25
Speaker 1: rid of.
22:27
Speaker 2: Well, now the Chicago mayor.
22:28
Speaker 1: Is referring to Trump supporters the same way that Adolf
22:31
Speaker 1: Hitler referred to the Jews. It's pretty impressive for the
22:34
Speaker 1: Chicago mayor. Chicago Mayor is also now called on the
22:37
Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson to quote speak up about ICE
22:40
Speaker 1: mass deportation operations, which he is also describing ready for
22:45
Speaker 1: this as terrorism. So he's defending the people in the
22:51
Speaker 1: MS thirteen gangs and the gang bangers and the drug dealers,
22:57
Speaker 1: the MS thirteen guys, And he's saying, because we want
23:01
Speaker 1: law and order, and because ICE is coming in and
23:04
Speaker 1: trying to restore law and order and get rid of
23:06
Speaker 1: the worst among us, especially in the legal immigrant community,
23:11
Speaker 1: we are now terrists. And if you're in favor of this,
23:15
Speaker 1: you are a terrorist. This is terrorism. According to the
23:19
Speaker 1: New York Post. By the way, more than fifty one
23:21
Speaker 1: thousand legal immigrants have made their way to Chicago from
23:24
Speaker 1: the southern border since August thirty first of last year.
23:29
Speaker 1: So just to put it in perspective, how many people
23:31
Speaker 1: are going to Chicago and last week Trump's borders are
23:35
Speaker 1: Tom Homan appeared on Fox News where he slammed the
23:39
Speaker 1: new app called ice Block that is reportedly being used
23:43
Speaker 1: to alert people of sightings of ICE agents. Homan said,
23:48
Speaker 1: quote assault ICE against ICE agents that were five hundred percent.
23:53
Speaker 1: Now you've got an app that's going to tell where
23:55
Speaker 1: the ICE operations are going, to tell me amount of
23:57
Speaker 1: time before the ICE agents are ambush by some nut
24:02
Speaker 1: like what happened in La throwing them out, these molotov cocktails,
24:07
Speaker 1: throwing bricks at these officers. This is just disgusting at
24:11
Speaker 1: every level. Now, the scary part about what I just
24:14
Speaker 1: read for you is what he had to say, and
24:17
Speaker 1: he did predict the future.
24:19
Speaker 2: How do we know this?
24:20
Speaker 1: There has been a rise in threats which now being
24:24
Speaker 1: reported against federal law enforcement. A shooter decided to ambush
24:28
Speaker 1: the Texas Border Patrol agents. An active shooter killed in
24:32
Speaker 1: an attempt to ambush Border patrol agents in Texas. We
24:37
Speaker 1: also know from another headline that eleven were arrested for
24:41
Speaker 1: plotting an ambush to kill ice corrections officers. Now let
24:45
Speaker 1: me go back to the story about the ambush and
24:48
Speaker 1: the Border patrol agents in Texas. I want you to
24:50
Speaker 1: take a listen to Center Mullen praising the border wall
24:54
Speaker 1: funding in Trump's big beautiful bill, talking about how important
24:58
Speaker 1: it is.
24:59
Speaker 2: That we get it's border security.
25:01
Speaker 1: And then I want you to know about this shooter
25:04
Speaker 1: that was armed with tactical gear and a rifle opened
25:08
Speaker 1: fire on Border patrol agents.
25:09
Speaker 2: They arrived at the Border Patrol.
25:11
Speaker 1: Annex facility in McAllen, Texas and the Rio Gram Valley
25:14
Speaker 1: on Monday. Agents and local police, thank goodness, returned fire
25:19
Speaker 1: and killed the gunman. No federal agents, by the way,
25:22
Speaker 1: were hit, but one McCallan police officer was struck. Law
25:26
Speaker 1: enforcement sources said the officers in stable condition think the lord.
25:30
Speaker 1: The official comment was this this morning, an individual opened
25:34
Speaker 1: fire at the entrance to the United States Border Patrol
25:36
Speaker 1: Sector Annex and McCallen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and
25:40
Speaker 1: local police helped neutralize the shooter. The Department of Homeland
25:43
Speaker 1: Security said and statement quote, this is an ongoing investigation
25:47
Speaker 1: led by the FBI, and more information will be shared
25:50
Speaker 1: as it becomes available.
25:52
Speaker 2: Now.
25:52
Speaker 1: Law enforcement believes the attack was a purposeful quote ambush
25:57
Speaker 1: targeting border patrol officials. Local police said they will hold
26:00
Speaker 1: the news conference and they would tell more when they could.
26:04
Speaker 2: I want you to hear part of what well.
26:06
Speaker 1: Tom Homan also had to say about interior enforcement, he
26:10
Speaker 1: says is key to border security.
26:13
Speaker 6: Several suspects are now in custody after a Texas police
26:16
Speaker 6: officer was shot in the neck while responding to a
26:18
Speaker 6: call outside of an ice facility. So it happened in Alvareto,
26:22
Speaker 6: which is near Fort Worth. This was over the holiday
26:25
Speaker 6: weekend and Jonathan Hunt is following this story for us
26:27
Speaker 6: HI Jonathan.
26:29
Speaker 2: Good morning Dana.
26:29
Speaker 7: This all played out in the late evening of July
26:32
Speaker 7: fourth outside the Prairie Land Detention Center in Alvarado. Police
26:37
Speaker 7: officers responded to a call about a suspicious person outside
26:41
Speaker 7: the center. When they arrived, they saw someone who appeared
26:44
Speaker 7: to have a gun. One of the Alvarado officers tried
26:48
Speaker 7: to talk to that person, and at that point several
26:50
Speaker 7: other people opened fire on the officer, who was hit
26:53
Speaker 7: in the neck. He was treated at a local hospital
26:56
Speaker 7: and has since been released. Officers arrested a number of
26:59
Speaker 7: peace people at the scene. A motive for the attack
27:03
Speaker 7: is still being investigated, but the Department of Homeland Security
27:07
Speaker 7: said a group of more than a dozen people had
27:10
Speaker 7: slashed tires of federal vehicles and damaged security cameras at
27:14
Speaker 7: the ICE facility. There was also another attack on an
27:18
Speaker 7: ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, Friday night, a facility that
27:22
Speaker 7: has been the site of an ongoing protest for several weeks.
27:26
Speaker 7: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote on x Saturday morning, quote,
27:31
Speaker 7: we are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities
27:36
Speaker 7: in Praerriland, Texas and Portland, Oregon, and are coordinating with
27:40
Speaker 7: the USAOs and.
27:41
Speaker 2: Our law enforcement partners.
27:43
Speaker 7: The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers
27:48
Speaker 7: or property and will bring the full weight of the
27:51
Speaker 7: law against those responsible now both at tax Daina happened
27:55
Speaker 7: on the day President Trump signed his domestic policy bill
28:00
Speaker 7: into law, a bill of colls that includes some forty
28:02
Speaker 7: five billion dollars to expand the capacity of immigration detention
28:07
Speaker 7: centers and thirty one billion for ICE operations.
28:11
Speaker 2: Dana, all right, Jonathan Hunt.
28:14
Speaker 1: By the way, let's just stop there with that report
28:17
Speaker 1: for a second. You look at that report and you
28:21
Speaker 1: listen to it, I think it's pretty clear this is
28:24
Speaker 1: a coordinated effort nationwide by the radical left to go
28:28
Speaker 1: after ICE agents to make them feel unsafe.
28:31
Speaker 2: This is happening on a regular basis.
28:34
Speaker 1: Now we are seeing more and more headlines of these
28:37
Speaker 1: ICE agents that are being targeted and attacked. And I
28:41
Speaker 1: think this is another example of how the left is
28:45
Speaker 1: willing to use violence at all costs to try to
28:49
Speaker 1: stop things they don't like. They're used to this type
28:52
Speaker 1: of violence. They got used to it with the Summer
28:54
Speaker 1: of Rage. They got used to it, and now it's
28:57
Speaker 1: like their go to like, Hey we don't like something,
28:59
Speaker 1: let's burn a city down. Hey we don't like what's
29:02
Speaker 1: happening with icelests, go and attack the facilities where the
29:05
Speaker 1: ICE agents go. Let's make people be afraid to do
29:09
Speaker 1: their jobs. And by the way, Democratic leadership, I'm going
29:12
Speaker 1: to leave you with this thought. Notice how quiet they
29:16
Speaker 1: are on this. The leadership of the Democratic Party is
29:19
Speaker 1: not out there condemning these attacks.
29:21
Speaker 2: They're saying nothing. Why because coming from within their own party.
29:27
Speaker 1: Don't forget Share this podcast please with your family, and
29:30
Speaker 1: your friends wherever they are, and I will see you
29:34
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
