• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Every single Democrat refused to express any remorse for what
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: their policies have done. They refused to stand up. They
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: refused to clap. They refused to smile. There's something wrong
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with them. The only thing standing between us and our
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: country and the wide open border is a Republican Congress
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and a certain president named President Donald J.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Trump.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's the only thing.

  Speaker 2: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the 47 Morning Update. And we've got a very big
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: story for you. A shocking inspector general report is out
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: saying that Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security knowingly and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: willfully allowed millions of visa overstays for illegal aliens in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: this country, including those deemed high risk to our national security.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: We now know how they did it and exactly how
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: many of those people may be in the U.S.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Right now.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Now, before I give you all of those details, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: want to take a moment and say this.

• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and our God-given rights every time you pay your bill.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So stop funding companies that work against our values. Stand
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: with a company that stands with you. Every year, they
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: give millions of dollars to organizations that fight for First
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: or Second Amendment rights. the rights of unborn children, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they stand with our veterans, our military men and women
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that have served and have been wounded and our local
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: law enforcement as well. So what are you waiting for?
• 1:50

  Speaker 2: to Patriot. And you can make that switch today. It's
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a 47 morning update and it starts right now.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So we've got a new inspector general report that is
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: out about the Department of Homeland Security. And the numbers
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: are something that we not only deserve to take a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: moment pause. But you need to pay attention because it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: not simply a story about people crossing the southern border.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: And we've gotten used to that story.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And it was a numbers game that also almost really
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: just became numbing to many Americans. It was like, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: what's a billion dollars compelled to a trillion? It's just
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a random number. And when you talk about is it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: 10 million across the southern border or 15, it doesn't
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: even make sense in your head. Now, this is a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: report that's a lot different than that. And that's why
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I want to bring it up to you. It's about
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: people entered the United States of America legally and Then
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: they have a date they're supposed to leave by.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: They don't leave.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And now, according to DHS Inspector General, ICE took limited
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: action on millions and millions of those overstay leads between
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the fiscal years 2021 and 2024.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Now, what does that mean?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It means under Biden's direction, it was clear that the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security and ICE looked the other way
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: when people were overstaying their welcome. Now, the report released
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: September the 29th, and its title says a lot. In
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024, ICE took
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: limited action on non-immigrant overstays, including those deemed, quote, high
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: risk to national security. Now, this is where the story
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: becomes an important one. This report says that even those
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: that were deemed high risk to our national security, to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the way of life that we have, to people's lives.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That could include you. The government said, no, we're just
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: going to look the other way. There's a reason why
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the government used the phrase, those deemed high risk to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: national security, because they are deemed high risk to national security. Now,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: according to the inspector general, during those four fiscal years,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: ICE received 3.125 million leads involving potential visa overstays. That
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: is insane. More than 3 million. Now, here's where the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: report becomes a lot more serious. Of those more than
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: 3 million leads, 3.1 plus million leads, More than 100,000
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of those more than 3.1 million leads, more than 104,000
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: were categorized as potential national.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Security or public safety concerns.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And according to the figures highlighted from the report, ICE
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: opened only 496 investigations from that group of more than 104,000.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: The result, only eight arrests, not 8,000, not 800, literally
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: eight arrests. Yeah, you got to be kidding me. That
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: is what the Biden administration was doing. And there's another
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: layer to the data that we're finding out about as well.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The inspector general also examined what happened after then Homeland
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued new immigration enforcement guidelines in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: September of 2021. Now, those guidelines directed ICE's limited enforcement
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: resources towards people considered threats to national security, public safety
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: or border security. The inspector general concluded that the policy
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: was one reason ICE conducted few investigations initiated by overstay
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: leads and arrested even fewer foreign nationals for overstaying or
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: violating the terms of their admission. The report also points
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to another major problem. resources and basic tracking which were
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in essence turned off because of Mayorkas's direction now this
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: wasn't accidental this was deliberately done by the Biden administration
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to make sure that illegal immigrants that were in this
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: country people that came in legally but were overstaying their
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: welcome even those that were a threat to this country
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we did nothing to stop them We did nothing to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: get them out of this country. We did nothing to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: check up on them. And it was all done.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I go back to the inspector general's report here.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: They said this was because of the directive of Mayorkas
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: issuing the immigration enforcement guidelines. And the guidelines directed ICE
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to not do their job. It directed ICE to limit
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: their enforcement resources towards people considered a threat to national security.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Now, why would you do that?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Why would you tell ICE, hey, I know there's a
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: lot of people out there, more than 100,000, that might
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: be a threat to our national security.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: But I'm telling you, don't do anything about them. Leave
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: them alone.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Let them run around among us.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: And we're going to roll the dice. I can tell
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: you and answer that question.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: The only reason why you put that directive out there
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if you're Mayorkas is you want to say to the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: rest of the world that if you're an illegal immigrant,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: come to America now. We're not deporting anyone, including the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: bad guys. If you are a threat to our national security.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: We and we know about you. We're not actually trying
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to find you right now. No, no, we're doing the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: complete opposite of that. We are telling our law enforcement
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to not find you, to look the other way, to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: not arrest you. It goes back to the arrest numbers
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that I just gave you also a moment ago. When
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: there are that few number of arrests, the word is
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: getting on the streets that no.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: One is getting arrested.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: There was four arrests, folks, out of the list of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the biggest threats to the U.S. national security when they
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: were in office. They wanted it to be clear to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the rest of the world, hey, you want to come
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to America illegally, come on in. You want to overstay
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a visa in this country, stay. We're not going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: find you. We're not going to hunt you down. We're
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: not going to kick you out of this country. You
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: stay in this country as long as you want to.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And at some point, we will give you what? This
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: was all an amnesty play for the Democratic Party. They
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: realized that these were people that could turn into prospective
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: or potential voters and that they could give amnesty to.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And if they were able to give amnesty, who do
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you think they're going to vote for the rest of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: their lives? Are they going to vote for the Republican
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: candidate that said, hey, we need law and order? Or
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: are they going to vote for the Democratic candidate that
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: gave them total anarchy and chaos, or in translation, gave
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: them the ability to stay in America with certainty and security,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: even while they were breaking American immigration laws? That is
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: why this story is so important, because it all does
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: come down to exactly what I just said. Now, you
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: go back to the guidance directed by ICE, right? When
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: ICE did attempt to pursue some of these cases, we're
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: also now being told that investigators encountered difficulty verifying addresses
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and actually locating the foreign nationals.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Now you may ask yourself, well, that's the reason why
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: they didn't arrest anybody.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: You want to know why?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Because different parts of our government were in essence blocking
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: them out and refusing to work with them to give
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: them the information they needed to go out there and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: arrest the people that were deemed national security threats to the.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: United States of America.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: ICE also told the inspector general that it did not
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: have sufficient resources to pursue all of the overstay leads.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Because the Biden administration cut the resources needed to do so.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And I said when they did attempt to pursue some
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of these cases, they said investigators encountered difficulty verifying any
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: government help locating any of the foreign nationals. I go
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: back to what I said a moment ago. This is
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: why I said this is all. all about a president
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: of the United States of America and an administration that
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: said we do not want to deport anyone. We want
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: people to stay in America. We don't care if they
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: are illegal immigrants that are here that are a threat
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to our national security. We're willing to roll the dice
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: for the broader and bigger messaging about the future, which
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: is that we want anyone who is around the world
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to come into the United States of America no matter what.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: That is the takeaway from this. Now, here's something else
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: that's also crazy. When you get to the highest priority cases,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the report says that there were multiple failures all at once.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Policy choices about whom ICE would pursue, they said, was
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a problem. Resource limitations was another part of it. Serious
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: problems locating people after they entered the United States of America.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: And then you get to the highest priority cases.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Reporting on the inspector general's findings say there were 1,769
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: viable priority one leads in the highest risk category.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: How many investigations were open?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: 84 out of 1,769. How many arrests? We're now learning
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: just two. So let's go back to what a priority
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: one means. Let me be precise about what it means.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It does not necessarily mean every individual was a convicted
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: terrorist or criminal.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: What it does mean is that these individuals have been
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: flagged as a potential national security risk, not by another country,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: but by the United States of America. And some of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that intel could have come from a foreign government. Now,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that is why the priority one situation matters the most.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: If someone comes to the United States of America, overstays
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: their legal authority, and then information causes the government to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: flag that individual as a potential national security or public
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: safety concern. You as an American, I as an American,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: would reasonably expect the government to find out where that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: person is.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Not under Biden.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Instead, the audit describes a system in which ICE frequently
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: could not do that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: And remember the broader context here.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Visa overstays are fundamentally different from illegal border crossings. These
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: are generally individuals who came through the legal ports of
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: entry system. The government knew who they were when they entered.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: There was supposed to be a record of their admission
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and the period during which they were authorized to remain
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: inside of the U.S. Now, the problem came when they
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: didn't leave or readily violate the terms of their admission.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And that is when enforcement agencies had to determine what
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: happens next. Well, the inspector general has a story of
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: what actually happened next. They found that of 3,041,000 and change,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: roughly 3.1 million over, say, leads, 96.7% were classified as
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: what the government said under the Biden administration was non-priority. Now,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: according to DHS's summary of these findings, they said more
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: than 2.8 million non-priority leads were sent to ICE enforcement
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and removal operations. They said just 5%. They sent 2.8
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: non-priority leads. Just five were investigated after being identified as
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: possible public safety threats. And then those five only actually
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: resulted in two arrests. So you get the DHS sends
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: over 2.8 million leads to ICE. ICE has told from
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration, don't do your job. They only looked
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: at five of those 2.8 million leads and only.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Two people were arrested.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: This is the scale of what we are talking about
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: here to open up America to foreigners, to make them
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: come into this country hoping that they would stay here forever. Now,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: if you look at the characterizations of the findings of
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration, here's the takeaway. They knowingly allowed millions
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: of visa overstays to remain in the United States of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: America by classifying them as non-priority. The inspector general's own
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: language is more precise, saying, quote, ICE took limited action,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: quote unquote, on non-immigrant overstays, including people deemed high risk
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: to national security. And the inspector general identifies several reasons.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: They said the.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: September 2021 enforcement policy, which was from the Biden administration
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to limit resources problems, they said, then verifying address because
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: other government agencies wouldn't work with them. And then difficulties
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: locating the foreign nationals while they were told to stand
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: down or back down basically overall. Now, you can decide
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: your politics on this, but these are the facts. The
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: underlying numbers.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: They're extraordinary.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: 3.1 plus million potential overstay leads. And the Biden administration said,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: look the other way.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: 104,000 and change.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Of those individuals that were categorized as potential national security
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: or public safety concerns. Of that 104 plus thousand, there
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: were only 496 investigations from that group, and then there
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: were only eight arrests. And among the most shocking, most visible,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: most viable priority one leads, the worst of the worst,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: there were 1,769 cases. Only 84 investigations and only two arrests. Now,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the current Homeland Security Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen, has responded
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: in extremely strong terms today, saying that the findings and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the evidence of what he described as the Biden administration's
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: dereliction of duty. He said, saying the current administration intends
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to target and remove people unlawfully present in the U.S.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: That's the current administration's assessment of the previous administration's record
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: rather than a conclusion made by the inspector general himself.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: So the Biden administration, they were doing this. And now
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: what the Trump administration is saying, not anymore, folks. All right,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: now look, one of the other really important aspects of
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: this story is the part, and this is what the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: liberals are going to say. So you understand, they're going
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to say, look, you can't expect the government to realistically
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: investigate every single visa overstay in America. That is not
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the point I'm making, okay? The question is what happened
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to the people the government's own system identified as potential
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: national security threats or public safety concerns, and we didn't
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: investigate those. If you had limited manpower and let's say
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: that's their argument, that's their alibi. Well, you did have
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: enough manpower to look at the most egregious tier one cases.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: And Americans would expect the government to concentrate their resources
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: on those which wasn't in the millions or even the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: tens of thousands. But instead of all that. The inspector
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: general found that ICE took limited action during the fiscal
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and sometimes could not verify
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: where the individuals were even living on purpose because the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Biden administration said, look the other way. The Biden administration said,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: whatever you do, Look the other way.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Don't do this.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: So for years, you've had American immigration debate that has
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: been understandably focused on the southern borders. But the border
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: security isn't only about the Rio Grande. It's also about
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the airports. It's also about tourist visas now. It's about
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: student visas now. It's about business visas now. It's about
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: knowing who enters the United States of America. And then
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: how long are they authorized to stay and whether they
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: actually leave when the authorization expires.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Either you have a secure immigration system or you don't.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: But if you're going to have one, it requires both
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: an effective entry system and an effective exit and enforcement
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: system for those that refuse to leave on time. Because
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: if the United States of America, all right, and think
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: about this, carefully screen somebody when they arrive, but then
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: they lose track of that person after their legal status expires.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: The system has a potentially serious vulnerability that those that
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: want to destroy us or hurt us or do the
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: next 9-11, this is a vulnerability that they're going to exploit.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Hey guys, you don't have to sneak into America. You
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: can come in the right way. Let's get a real visa,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: do it the right way. Then you just overstay your visa.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: They don't know where you are. They lose track of
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you and bam, you can pull off the next 9-11. Now,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: let me close by saying this. This is the Department
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: of Homeland Security's own office of Inspector General that is
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: examining ICE's own records during those fiscal years 21 through
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: 24 and concluding formally that that the agency took deliberate
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: limited action on non-immigrant overstays, including cases deemed high risk
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: to national security. High risk to national security. This should
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: be a debate. This should be a debate about why
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: this was allowed to happen. This should be a debate
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: about policies. It should be a debate about resources. It
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: should be a debate about bad address information. It should
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: be a debate about investigative capabilities and enforcement priorities. Because
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: all of these played a role, according to the watchdog,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: saying the prior administration said, we don't care who gets hurt.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: We want to protect the 3.1 million overstays no matter what.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And we want to protect them with 104,000 potential national
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: security or public safety concerns within that 3.1 million. And
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: we only are going to arrest eight people from that
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: group of leads because we don't want word to get
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: out that we're actually doing enforcement. We want word to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: get out that come to America and no one's going
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to kick you out. No one is going to kick
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: you out. These are the numbers from Congress, DHS and ICE.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: These are the numbers. that they should have to sit
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: there and explain.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: There are people that are in charge should have to
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: sit there and explain all of this.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: This is the biggest.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Story I've seen in a while about just how much
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: a threat to national security the last administration truly was
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to America's safety and security of its citizens.
