  Speaker 3: in the Biden DOJ overrode the career employees and said

• 2:20
  Speaker 2: have been talking about this for quite some time, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that is the national security threats that we face in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: this country. A lot of it is because of the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: open southern border that happened under the Biden administration, countless
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: number of people coming across the border that we didn't
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: know who they were, where they were coming from, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: catching people that were also on the terrorists watch list.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: What we're now witnessing is the government sounding the alarm
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that hey, we have a lot of people in this
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: country in the thousands who are here that we do
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: believe either have ties of terrorism are directly connected to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: terrorist organizations. And then we see the news break about
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the thwarting of this attack from la all the way
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to New Orleans. This was a major operation that had
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a plan to kill a lot of Americans.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, week after week we're saying terrorist or radical Islamists
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: either carrying out acts of violence or being prevented from
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: carry out acts of violence. But there's a consistent pattern
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we've seen that many of them were admitted to this country,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: allowed in this country by Joe Biden, the Democrats. We
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: saw that, for example with the Afghan radical who traveled
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: to d C. To and shot to National guardsmen, one
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: of whom he murdered, the other of whom he severely injured. Well,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: this story now the federal authorities say they disrupted a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: credible terrorist threat over the weekend, they arrest four alleged
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: members of a radical pro Palestinian extremist group accused of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: planning coordinated New Year's Eve bombings in Los Angeles. The
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: FBI said that the members self identified as part of
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: a radical offshore of the Turtle Island Liberation Front. We're
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: going to tell you more about that group. It really
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: is a whack job group. It is an extremist group
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: motivated by pro Palestinian, anti law enforcement and anti government ideology.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: According to the FBI, they were allegedly planning coordinated bombing
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: attacks on New Year's Eve using improvised explosive devices, targeting
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: five separate locations across Los Angeles. Four of them were
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: arrested in Lucerne Valley, where they were believed to be
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: preparing to test explosive devices ahead of the planned attacks,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and they've each been charged with conspiracy and possession of
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: a destructive device. A fifth individual was arrested Monday in
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: New Orleans connected to the same extremist group and was
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: allegedly planning a separate attack. I want you to listen
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to Fox News covering this breaking news.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: FBI now reports that has disrupted a play and New
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Year's Eve terror attack in Los Angeles. Four suspects and custody,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: the FABI identifying them as members of a pro Palestin
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: extremist group. They're suspected a planning coordinated ied attacks targeting
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: five different locations in Los Angeles. But based on the reporting,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: now that plot has been foiled, we will wait for
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: more out of LA or out of.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Washington D Center.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You hear this report, and I think what's so concerning
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to so many Americans is we seem to be having
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: more and more of these reports. It's also got to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: be incredibly frustrating law enforcement because this was avoidable. The
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: number of terrorists and random groups just like this one
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we've I've never heard of before is concerning. And knowing
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that there are thousands and thousands of terrorists in this
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: country and law enforcement's got about a thousand otherwise Americans die,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that is incredibly frustrating when you hear another report like this.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look that this is what global laws, the Intifada means.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: You look at the horrific mass murder in Australia and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: on Bondi Beach, and that was globalizing the Intifada, the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: father's son who committed that mass murder. There's evidence that
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: they were connected with ISIS and they were waging jihad
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: in this instance. Let me ask you this group, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Turtle Island Liberation Front. Have you ever heard a Turtle
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Island before?
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's fine.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I literally had to google it because until this report
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: came out, I'd never heard of it before. And then
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I said it. And what was even funnier was my
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: wife was like, what movie are you talking about. I'm like,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about a movie. This is like a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: terrorist organization I've never heard of before.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Look, I hadn't heard the phrase Turtle Island either, So
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: let me tell you what it is. The Turtle Island
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Liberation Front Instagram account says its founding chapter is in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles and its goal is to free Turtle Island,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: which is an indigenous indigenous name used to refer to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: North America. What do they want to free North America from?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Quote the illegal American Empire? The count posted Free Palestine,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Free Hawaii, Free Puerto Rico. Freeing the world from American
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: imperialism is the only way to a safe and peaceful future.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And let me also give you a little bit more
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: information about this group, because these guys really are whack jobs.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: The group's into Instagram page has nine hundred and thirty
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: nine followers, which is one of the reasons we probably
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: haven't heard of them. Now, nine hundred and thirty nine
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: is not a lot unless you're talking about people who
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: are committed to terrorism and carrying out acts of violence.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: On the Instagram page, you have phrases like death to
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: America and peaceful protest will never be enough. And there's
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a video on the Instagram account that features a woman
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: who just says her name is Mary, and she explains
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the group's name.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Here's what she says.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Quote, that's what the natives called it was Turtle Island.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: So that's the decolonized name of the Americas, and Turtle
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Island Liberation Front is looking for reparations and land back
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: for these indigenous groups.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: This is dangerous.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: By the way, TILF also had materials the FBI released.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: One read death to Ice, another read death to America,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Long lived Turtle Island and Palestine. And so once again,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: this is the Intifada, This is free Palestine, attack America,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: kill Americans, and these bombs, so the bombs they were
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: found building. Here's what the federal criminal complaint says. It
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: says the individuals who were arrested had drafted a written
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: attack plan, they had shared bomb making instructions, and they
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: had planned pre operational surveillance of their targets. It says
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: three of the four individuals brought potassium nitrate, PVC pipes, charcoal,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: sulfur powder, and other bomb making components to a camp
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: site in the Mahave Desert for testing.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Quote.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: While in the desert, the co conspirators took steps to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: begin construction of the device, including unloading the bomb making
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: materials e g. Precursors, PBC pipes, and fuses from their
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: cars and beginning to assemble the materials on a table,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: constructing a tent to keep bomb materials shaded from the sun,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: wiping down the interior one of the PVC pipes, and
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: they were building it when FBI agents intervened to prevent
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: them from actually assembling a functional explosive device. This is
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: dangerous and this is a pattern that we keep seeing
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: happen over and over and over again.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You know, the good news is that we have an
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: administration in the present that's made it very clear that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: we're going to go find these people. This is part
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: of the reason why immigration reformans shutting down our southern
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: border was so important.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Tom Homan has talked about this.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: He said, far too many people on the tarist watch
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: lists got across, and I go back and I just
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: for the Visual Aid Center. Remember, this is a government
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: under Joe Biden's leadership that went to Texas where they
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: had put down barriers, and they used a forkliff to
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: lift up those barriers in the bob wire to allow
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants into America. Many of them were were not detained,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the background checks were not checked on them, and people
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: released and got aways into this country. So now we
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: are having to deal with radical groups and other terrorist
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: groups that we've never even heard of, all because they said,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: let's flood America with legal immigrants. And my worry is
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: going to cost American lives at some point.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look, and it already has.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: You.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Look at, for example, the National guardsmen who were shot
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: by the Afghan Islamist radical whom the Bide administrate imported
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: into America. We are seeing multiple attacks from violent illegal
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: immigrants that the Biden administration rolled out the red carpet.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: To final question on this one, what are you expecting
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: moving forward from Congress on this as we continue to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: find more in the FBI. I got to say to them,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: God bless them for doing their job grabbing these radical
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: propusating groups and these individuals. And now I'm assuming there's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: going to be even more that we can expect as
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: they find out who they were working with and who
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: their friends were, and who was instructing them or who
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: was a part of this.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But listen, this is what you happens when you have
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the FBI and the Department of Justice actually focused on
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: going after criminals. You know what, the Biden DOJ said
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: their single largest operation was going and persecuting many of
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the peaceful protesters from January sixth, the little old ladies
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: who were singing God Bless America and waving flags. The
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Biden administration, they devoted their time, the DOJ and FBI,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to political persecution, to going after their political enemies. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: devoted massive time to going after Donald Trump directly. So
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: instead of looking for terrorists, which mind you, they were
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: flying into this country allowing to come into this country.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Instead of looking for ice, gang bangers and criminals and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: murderers and rapists. They were engaged in political persecution. The
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Trump Department of Justice, the Trump FBI is going after
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: bad guys and the result of that is that's making
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Americans much safer.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: For the next sixty seconds, can you hit pause on
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: your life and just think about this. Every day, millions
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: of children face a crushing reality, a constant defeating message
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: echoes and their empty stomachs and their desperate eyes. It
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: is that you don't matter. Poverty doesn't just steal food
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and shelter. It steals hope, dignity, and the fundamental belief
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that they are loved. But there's another message, one of
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: boundless love and hope. Through Compassion International, you can change
• 12:58

• 13:17

• 13:21

• 13:26
  Speaker 2: That's compassion dot Com brings me into actually a perfect
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: example of what you were just describing, and that is
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: new files are revealing that the Department of Justice and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the FBI quote did not have cause to raid mar Lago.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Hold on a second, you're telling me the people in
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: charge of Government Center under the Biden regime knew that
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: they were going after Donald Trump for political reasons and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: not because they thought he broke a law.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Can't I could not imagine this.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: You know, it really is astonishing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: So the Department of Justice and FBI handed documents over
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: to the Senate Judiciary Committee. And here's what Fox News
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: has reported about those documents. FBI doubted probable cause for
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: mar A Lago raid, but pushed forward amid pressure from Biden.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Doj emails reveal quote very little has been developed related
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to who might be culpable for mishandling the documents. An
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: FBI official wrote, the FBI did not believe it had
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: probable cause to raid President Donald Trump's mar A Lago
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: home in twenty twenty two, but move forward amid pressure
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: from the Biden Justice Department, with an official saying he
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: didn't quote give a damn about the optics of the search.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Newly declassified documents reveal, and you have emails between the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: FBI and the Justice Department in the months leading up
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: to the August twenty twenty two rate of mar A Lago,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and FBI officials explicitly expressed concern about a lack of
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: probable cause to execute the search warrant on the President's residence.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Quote.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Very little has been developed related to who might be
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: culpable for mishandling the docum. This is written by an
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: FBI agent serving as the assistant Special Agent in charge
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: to another FBI official. Quote from the interviews. The Washington
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Field Office has gathered information suggesting that there may be
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: additional boxes, presumably of the same type as we're sent
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: back to Nara in January at mar A Lago. The
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Washington Field Office has been drafting a search warrant AFFIDAVID
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: related to those potential boxes, but has some concerns that
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the information is single source, has not been corroborated, and
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: may be dated. DOJCS opines, however, that the search warrant
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: meets the probable cause standard quote. Even as we continue
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: down a path towards a search warrant, the Washington Field
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Office believes that a reasonable conversation with the former president's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: attorney stating that the FBI and DOJ are reading a
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: search warrant and developed information there may be more documents
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: at mar A Lago ought not to be discounted. At
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: a minimum, even if the former president's attorney is correct
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and the documents were all declassified or believed to be
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: disc classified, it can be reasonably argued that the documents
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: remain sensitive and should be properly secured until the matter
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: of classification is sorted out. This conversation could easily be
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: accomplished at the same time that the Washington Field Office
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: presses forward with the investigation and continues building out the
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: search warrant. Weeks later, an FBI agent writes in a
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: new email, quote, this is stunning. We haven't generated any
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: new facts, but keep being given draft after draft after draft.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Absent a witness coming forward with recent information about classified
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: on site. At what point is it fair to table this?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: The agent rights it is time consuming for the team
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: and not productive if there are no new facts supporting
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: probable cause. Another email revealed that the Washington the FBI's
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Washington Field Office quote did not believe and has articulated
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: a DOJCS that we have established probable cause for the
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: search warrant for classified records at.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Mar A Lago.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Let me read that again. The FBI Washington field off is.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: This is in writing quote did not believe and has
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: articulated to the DOJCS that we have established probable cause
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: for the search warrant for classified weapons of classified records
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: at Mara A Lago. And the response quote doj OZ
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: opine that they do have probable cause, requesting a wide
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: scope including residents, office storage space. And the FBI also
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: said a raid would be quote counterproductive and suggested quote alternative,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: less intrusive, and likely quicker options for resolution to reclaim
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: any potential classified records.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: This is stunning.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It because I can't. I don't think you can.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: You can overstate how stunning this is that the field
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: off is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: They're saying, this is stupid.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: This is abuse of power in essence and to the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: point where they're putting it in writing.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: And by the way, what it means if you don't
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: have probable cause for a search warrant but you nonetheless
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: engage in the search, the search is illegal without probable cause.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: You don't have a basis for the search, that is justified.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: And if the FBI is saying it would be illegal
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: to search President Trump's home, apparently the Biden Department of
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Justice they were so partisan. Their objective what was not
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: to actually prosecute a crime. Their objective was to stop
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the American people from voting for Donald Trump. They were
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: acting as political operatives. And so their view, as one
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: of the officials said, they don't give a damn about
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the optics. The optics they wanted was President Trump in
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: a mug shot. They got that optic, but it backfired
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: on them, backfired bigly. As President Trump might have said
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: in the first term. But this was a political persecution.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: And what's stunning is they knew it at the time.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Go to accountability, And this is where some of people
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: listening and watching this on on on Facebook or on
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: YouTube are gonna want to ask the question that I'm
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: going to ask you. Now it's clear abuse of power.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Where's the accountability Because at this point, it's like, we
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: know they did it, We've got the information, we know
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: that they were breaking the law or the rules, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: no one seems to be held accountable for this. So
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: in the rest of my lifetime. I have a feeling
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a Democrat that's going to get
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: back in the White House. What then, why would there
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: be an incentive for them not to abuse their power
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and go after any other conservatives in the same way.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: So there wouldn't be an incentive. And look, who knows
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: it may not be a Democrat in the White House.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It may the Democrat Party may have radicalized so much
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: that maybe the next nominee will be a member of
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the Turtle Turtle Island Liberation Front. I mean, that's that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: that's how extreme these guys are getting. Look, there has
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: to be accountability, There has to be people who engage
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: in the abuse of power need to be fired. Now
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the Trump Department of Justice and FBI have fired a
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: number of people. That's that's moving in the right direction.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: But anyone who knew they were participating in an abuse
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: of justice and abuse of power, and and and anyone
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: who knew that it was illegal, let me ask, why
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: was there not anyone who stood up and said this
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: is not right at the Department of Justice to abuse
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: our power. Why were there no whistleblowers?
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Why why was.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: There no no pushback from within d O J.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: You know, as you can ask you that question. There's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of appointees. So that and I want to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: get in the weeds here on this because I do
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: think it's important to paint the picture. When I was
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: in the Bush administration, there are there are political appointees,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and there's non political.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: There's lifers.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: There's people that stay in certain positions at the DOJ,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: for example, at the FBI, they don't change based on
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the election or who is in the White House or
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: who's in charge of the House or the Senator of Congress.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: In general, that those into visuals are the ones that
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: you would hope would stand up here. The problem seems
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to be that there's either massive fear when the Democrats
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: were in charge that their careers would be over a
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: or B that they just put in so many of
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: their liberal friends that the entire DOJ leadership and those
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: below them that were the supposed to be the non
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: political appointees were actually incredibly partisan. I go back to
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: you know, Peter struck and and Lisa Page or whatever
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the hell their names were. That's I mean, there's two
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: examples of quote non political people that were absolutely political.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: There are far too many extreme partisans who burrowed into
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: both agencies, the FBI and the Department of Justice. As
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: you know, a book I wrote a few years ago
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: was called Justice Corrupted, How the Left has weaponized our
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: legal system, and I detailed This was written at the
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: beginning of the Biden administration, So I did not cover
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the prosecutions of Trump or the Marlago rate because it
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: had happened.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: By the way, how right were you on writing that book?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I mean knowing what happened afterwards.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Good grief, And the book starts chapter one is actually
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: about Watergate. It's about Nixon. And I am not a
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Richard Nixon fan. I think he was. He was corrupt
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: and dishonest, and he abused power. But but if you
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: look at one of the things Nixon tried to do
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: is get the Department of Justice and the FBI to
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: go after his political enemies. But at the time DOJ
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: and the FBI and the I R S.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: They all resisted.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: They pushed back and said, no, that's an abuse of
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: our power. We're not going to do that. And what
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Richard Nixon tried to do, Joe Biden succeeded in doing.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Why because nobody, not a political not not not careers.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Nobody pushed back effectively and stopped it. And and and
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: we saw that started with Barack Obama. Barack Obama weaponized
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: the Department of Justice, the FBI, the I r S.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And then when Trump became president, those partisans.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Slicker about it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I do want people to understand that he was he
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: was very smart about it compared to this the blaze
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: and abuse of power by the Biden administration.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: But there were and and I want to remind.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Us a couple a couple examples of the abuse of
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: power under Barack Obama. Give us a couple of those highlights.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: If people remember what they did do and how this
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: started a long time ago, and and the reason why
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: is center there were a lot of people that got.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Into the DJ yeah, and the FBI then that were
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: lower in rank, who are now running the damn place.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: When if you fast forward to the Biden.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Years, Yeah, you look at I mean one of one
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: of the classic examples of lowest learner at the I
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: r S and and and the i r S deliberately
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: targeted conservative groups, that targeted tea party groups. It went
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: after them and persecuted them, and and and the search
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: words they were among among things they were looking for
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: as any group dedicated to the Constitution of the Bill
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: of Rights.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and and mind you, they didn't mean the A
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: c l U.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: They didn't mean leftist groups that they meant anyone that
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: was conservative, any pro Israel group they targeted. I mean,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: it was an ideological purge and it was an ideological
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: purge that the political officials did everything they could to
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: cover up. And ultimately, you know, you look at Eric Holder,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: who was Attorney General, described himself as Barack Obama's wingman,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: and he ended up being held in contempt of Congress,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: which was stunning.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: But it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Began during the Obama administration. When Trump became president, many
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: of those partisans they burrowed into senior career positions at
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: the agency, and for four years the first Trump term,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: they waged war on Donald Trump from within the agency,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: trying to overturn the duly elected president, trying to overturn
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: an election. And then when when Biden got into power,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: they came out in the open, and they were brazen.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: And part of the reason Biden was so much worse
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: than Obama is they saw there were no consequences when
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: it happened under Obama that it worked, that they were
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: able to w repinize the system. And I suspect many
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: good people just left the agencies and those many of
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: those who remained were either they were afraid or they were.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Willing to go along with it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: But it's why one of the most important obligations responsibilities
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: that the Trump DOJ and the Trump FBI have is
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: to restore integrity to those agencies to go after criminals
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: and bad guys like terrorists planning to set off bombs
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, rather than using it to target political opponents.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: What will accountability look like specifically on these emails and
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the people there? And will Congress get involved in this
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: now seeing this letter Grassly, etc.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I would certainly expect we'll see hearings in Congress.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I'd like to see the Senate Judiciary Committee hold hearings
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: on this and engage in oversight. This was released by
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, so that's beneficial.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, look, I want to amend the Trump
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Justice Department for handing these emails over. But part of
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: the reason that the Biden DOJ wrote these is because
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: they thought no one would ever know that they thought
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Biden was going to be reelected or Kamala Harris was
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: going to be elected, and so this would remain hidden forever.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: What changed the rules is you have a new Attorney
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: General and a new FBI director who decided we're going
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: to give this to We're going to show the American
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: people exactly what was going on.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: That was the right thing to do.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Finally, I want to move to another shocking breaking news story,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and that is if you get rid of people in
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: this country they're here illegally, then you don't have to
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: compete for them. Center for Housing, we have seen the
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: medium age of first time home buyers. The number skyrocket
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: to forty plus years old, depending on where you live.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: It's the highest we've seen it, certainly in my lifetime,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and the highest we've seen since World War One. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: think if I looked at the data correctly, that was
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: something that should be very eye opening. Rental prices have
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: also skyrocketed, because well, you're competing when it comes to
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: renting a home, especially those entry level homes. With tens
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of millions of illegal immigrants, we are now finally seeing
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's deportations and the shutting down the southern border
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: completely turning into guess what, lower rent and lower home
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: prices for Americans.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, this is at the end of the day,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: very simple economics. And in economics one oh one you
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: learn that prices. Prices are determined by two factors, supply
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: and demand and their graft, and where they intersect is
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: where the price is. So supply, it's pretty simple to understand.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: The more of something there is, the lower the price is.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: If there are a whole bunch of houses, the price
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: of housing goes down. If there are a whole bunch
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: of bananas, the price of bananas go down. But the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: other thing that determines price is demand. If there are
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: a ton of people that want to buy houses or bananas,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: the price goes up. And so those two counterbalance each other,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: and actually rising prices typically are a market signal that
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: we need more supply. And so if banana prices skyrocket
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: because suddenly people decide they really really like bananas, you
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen. People are gonna plant more bananas
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: and grow more bananas to meet the demand, and the
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: price will fall. Well, what did Joe Biden do? Joe
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Biden imported allowed more than twelve million illegal aliens to
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: come into this country. Now, when they came into this country,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: most of those illegal aliens didn't live in a tent,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: they didn't sleep on a park bench. They went and
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: rented an apartment, or they rented a house, or they
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: bought a house. And you bring in twelve million people,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: that's twelve million people that are trying to rent, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: when demand goes up a lot, you end up having
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: prices go up. Now, now here's what Scott Besson reported.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Scott Besson said that last month apartment rents fell one
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: two point one percent compared to the same time last year,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: and they dropped five point two percent compared to the
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: same time period in twenty twenty two, when rents had
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: peaked under Joe Biden and Bessen did an interview on
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Fox Business Channel where he said rents are down and
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: the story the Biden administration doesn't want to talk about
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the mass unfettered immigration that pushed up rents, especially for
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: working Americans. And he continued to say, there's a recent
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: study out from the Wharton School that shows every one
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: percent increase in population, rents went up one percent. So
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: President Trump, by enforcing the border and sending home more
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: than two million illegals. We're now seeing rents coming down substantially.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I think that will continue for the rest of the year.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: We brought down interest rates and so we brought mortgage
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: rates down, and I think everything else will follow that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: That is a major victory. And by the way, it's
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: exactly what President Trump said on the campaign trail, which
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: is that if we deport the illegal aliens that Joe
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Biden's open borders brought into this country, the result is
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: going to be rents are going to come down and
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: housing is going to be more affordable. We now have
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: the data backing that up. You know.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Messaging, I think center is going to be so important
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: going into the mid terms. And one of the things
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I do think we have not messaged well enough on
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: our side is what is about to happen in twenty
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: twenty six. And there are laws that were passing twenty
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: twenty five that are enacted in twenty twenty six. You
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: combine what you just said about home prices and what
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: the Treasury Secretary was talking about there with something that's
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: going to have a huge impact on our economy. No
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: tax on tips is coming in this new year. No
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: tax on overtime is coming this year, and no tax
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: on Social Security for seniors is coming. Those are three
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: massive victories that I think many Americans have actually kind
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: of forgotten about that are going to be implemented this year.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: That's going to have a very big impact on our economy,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: but also affordability and living.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: No, that's exactly right.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: And I got to say, by the way, for people
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: that make substantial tipped wages or over time, millions of
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Americans are going to be entitled to a refund from
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: the IRS starting in January, Starting in just a couple
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: of weeks, they'll be entitled to a refund because of
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: those tax cuts, because of the working family tax cut.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: And look, the latest mantra of both Democrats in the media,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: because in many instances they're one and the same, is affordability.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Now affordability. I am certain that that came from a
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: focus group the Democrats put on that that was a
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: word they could blame and blame on Trump. Affordability about
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: twelve minutes ago, used to be called two things, jobs
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: and inflation.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: That's how we used to talk about it.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Jobs were seeing economic growth, and that is coming from
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: the historic tax cup we pass and it's coming from
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: President Trump's incredible leadership, cutting job killing regulation, and then inflation.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: We are seeing inflation coming down, and this is interesting.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: The HUD Department, the Housing and Urban Development Department, published
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: this month a report an investigation that concluded Biden's importing
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: of millions of migrants drove up prices for Americans who
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: are low income but who do not receive public assistance.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: And here's what the report concluded. Quote one key cause
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: of elevated worst case needs is immigration. Between twenty twenty
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: one and twenty twenty four, the foreign born population of
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: the United States increased more than six million, the largest
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: such increase over such a short period in American history.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: This immigration driven increase in households has contributed to a
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: significant increase in housing demand, thus driving up housing prices.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: In fact, in some markets, immigration is accounted for nearly
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: all of the increase in housing demand in recent years.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: That is hurting affordability.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: All nearly all. What else do you need to know?
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Democrat policies kill jobs and drove up inflation.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: And right now, under common sense conservative policies, we're seeing
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: jobs come back and we're making progress turning around and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: driving down the Biden inflation that hurts so many Americans.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday, Friday. So
