  Speaker 1: about all this is the President the White House are
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: being very quiet about it. I'm going to explain why. Also, well,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Congress is on its traditional August recess. It doesn't mean

• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's a forty seven morning update and it starts right now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Story Number one.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It is Democrat's biggest fear. Law and order returning state
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: by state and states now working with the Trump administration
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and ICE officials. Specifically, we now have three states that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: have signed a new agreement with ICE for quote expanded
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: immigration enforcement operations. These three states include West Virginia, South Dakota,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and Arkansas, all signing the agreements with the Department of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Homeland Securities, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ramp up immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the first one. The governor there, Patrick Morrisey, announced a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: robust collaboration under Section two eight seven G of the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Immigration and Nationality Act. This agreement enlists the West Virginia
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: State Police, Corrections and Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to assist ICE in immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: legal immigrant, you don't want to be in West Virginia
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: right now now. Under this task force structure, officers can
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: quote interrogate anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number two,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: process immigration violations for individuals already rested for other offenses.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Three conduct warrantless arrests if an individual is seen and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: suspected to be a flight risk pending a warrant. Four
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: serve immigration warrants, administer oas, collect fingerprints and gather evidence.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And five issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: facilities before transferring them to ICE Cussey under federal supervision.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You look at what has happened in South Dakota. The
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: governor there, as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a public safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Highway Patrols support ICE, with the rest announcing it today.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: The National Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: as well, and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: identify undocumented individuals within state prisons, and parole them into
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: ICE custody. You then move to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: former White House Press Secretary under Donald Trump, signing the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act, which definitively increases penalties for
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes, again saying to illegal immigrants,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be in Arkansas. It also with
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this new agreement allows sheriffs to apply for the two
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: eight seven G authority to serve immigration warrants on those
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: already in custody, and Sarah Huckebee Center's announcing this enables
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the Arkansas State Police to stop individuals in public inquire
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: about immigration status and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: if you think they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in Arkansas, there is training required, a forty hour online
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: course covering scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: as well as liability. Doing this in a responsible way.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Now you may be asking what is ICE two to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: eight seven G program. Well, let me explain to you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the broader context of how this is being used by
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration. The program enables state and local officers
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: after ICE provided training, to carry out certain immigration enforcement
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: duties under ICE supervision. That is why there's a collaboration
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: here and why they are having to sign on to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the program. Now. As of August thirteenth, ICE has executed
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety seven agreements across forty states, including
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: various models such as jail Enforcement, Warrant Service, and Task
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Force operations. The Trump administration has significantly accelerated these partnerships,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: growing from around one hundred and thirty five to over
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: seven hundred agreements in early twenty twenty five alone. Of course,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the left is going insane, warning that the surge is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a risk to quote civil rights community trust and invites,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they say, racial profiling, even though none of these programs
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: have anything to do with that. Now, you also may
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be asking yourself, why am I not quoting the president
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: right now when I'm telling you about this initiative. Well,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the President clearly is playing chess on the issue. In fact,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the White House has had no public statement or reaction
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: regarding these specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: mainly because they want this to be clearly seen as
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: state led that these governors are opting in. And that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is exactly why the administration is being so successful in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: getting this done with so many different agreements, because they're
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: not grandstanding. They're just trying to fight crime, and it's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: clearly working now.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Story number two, it is the.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Traditional August recess. It's happening right now in Washington, d C.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Congress is back in their districts in theory tending to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: business of listening to the constituents. That doesn't mean there
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: isn't anything going on with the House Auto pen probe.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's covering a lot about the Biden White House,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: even as Congress is on their traditional recess. The House
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, I've been told today, is still investigating the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: LEDs cover up of former President Joe Biden's decline. The
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: former president insisting he was responsible for quote all decisions
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that came out of the White House during his time
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in office, and former staff members claim they saw no
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well, the House Oversight
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Committee Chairman James Comer discussing the committee's investigation to whether
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration covered up the cognitive deterioration of the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: former president. Now, there's also been the question of precedent.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: What is the autopen like in the past, and can
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you compare how other government officials use the autopen in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: contrast to how it was being used when Joe Biden
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously in the investigation. Well,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House New Gingrich sat down with
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: my good friend Mark Levin, and he was asked about
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the autopen when he was a Speaker of the House
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: signing legislation and how big of a deal it was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to use the auto pen. How seriously was the autopin
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: taken and how much was it also protected from abuse?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear what Nuke Gingrich had to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: say to Levin.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Luke Gingrich question when you were Speaker of the House,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: bet you took the requirement that a president actually be
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: present when a bill is signed very very seriously. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: certain bills are brought, they're brought in a special way,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: they're handed to somebody specifically, there's a whole process set up.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: these bills or if he was present when the bills
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: were signed?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, well put it that way. Sure. Look, these
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: people are corrupt, irresponsible, and happy to exploit the nation
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: for their own game. So given those kind of people,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: who knows what they might do? Oh, I think it
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: does raises you have brilliantly done in this show today.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It raises a very big question about whether or not
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: these laws are in fact laws. Remember, the founding fathers
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: understood that you had to have a pretty strict series
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: of rules or the whole system breaks down into a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: kind of corruption which undermines the rule of law. The
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: rule of law requires rules, and one of those rules
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: is that the president signs bills. Now he can direct
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: an autopen for things that are ceremonial Christmas cards, for example,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: but the president ought to be signing these things. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: when you learn that Biden was signing thousands of commutations
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in the last few days of his administration, you know
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: he didn't have a clue what was going on. You know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we have no idea what the deals were, why those
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: people were given commutations, or if in fact they were legal.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So I do think there's a profound question here, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: probably the Congress and President Trump should really write some
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: more restrictive rules about what it takes to get a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: bill to actually be a law.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: It's interesting New Camrich when I went back and looked
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: at Medisine's notes and looked at some of the other
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: essays and comments on that they spent a lot of
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: time on this They spent a lot time on this
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And back
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: then it was this guy is the president. You know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: these laws. We in Congress, we're going to spend our
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: time doing all this and send it to him. We're
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: concerned that somebody might hijacket somebody might sign it. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to be present.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, let me ask you that is it really
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: asking a president too much to sign the damn bills
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: or to be present when the bills are signed. I mean,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that kind of
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: prove the point?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: after some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: you walked us through. I mean, when you read the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: very clear Biden clearly was incompetent sometime. I can't say
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: any given date, but sometime in twenty three, it should
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: have been obvious to every person who was dealing with
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: him that he was no longer competent to be president.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And I agree with you. Every one of these cabinet
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: they should frankly be stuck with that. These are people
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: who willfully cheated the American people and allowed a phony
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was the most important.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: She became an effect the acting president of the United States.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You listen to the claim there by new Gingrich that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: he says Joe Biden effectively became the de facto president
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. She was not elected
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: by anyone, which goes back to exactly why this investigation
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: is happening and why the House Oversight Committee is still
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: investigating the alleged cover up of former President Joe Biden's decline,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: even while much of Congress is out of town.
