• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that Israel responded, even though every single time they're attacked
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this administration, whether it's through the State Department or through
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the President, or through the White House spokesman or Kirby
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: at the White House, they keep telling Israel don't respond,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: don't react, don't defend yourself, don't as they describe anything
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you do that looks aggressive.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: We're gonna say basically no to it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Israel has a right to defend itself, and clearly they
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: said we're going to take steps to do that right now.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Well, of course Israel has a right to defend itself,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and of course, of course that's what Israel is doing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Part of the reason that we specified the time that
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: this is shortly after eleven PM on Thursday, is that
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: it's unfolding literally this minute, and so by the time
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: this podcast post on Friday morning, there may have been
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: many more developments throughout the night and in the morning.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And indeed, even what we know now, I have not
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: had a classified briefing this evening, so I don't have
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: any insight beyond what has been publicly reported. And there's
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: always a fog of war when something is just breaking,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: so we don't know the reliability of the early reports.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But what's being reported is that Israel launched a coordinated
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: attack using jets and using missiles against Iran, but attacking
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Iran in at least three different places, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And before we get to anything else, Ben, it's worth
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: noting that the scope of the attacks show just how
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: far Iran's reach has extended.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Across the region.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: What does it say that if you want to strike
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: back in Iran, you have to do it in Iran
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: and Iraq and Syria because they're everywhere. And understand, Iran
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: is the most malevolent force in the Middle East. They
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: are funding the most dangerous terrorists on Earth. They fund Hamas,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: ninety percent of Hamas's budget comes from Iran. They fund Hesbela,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: ninety percent of Hesbela's budget comes from Iran. And Iran,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: led by the Ayatola and the Mullas, they routinely chant
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: death to America and death to Israel. And it's worth noting,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: as you just said, from the instant October seventh happened,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration has been telling Israel, do not retaliate,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: do not defend yourself, do nothing. From the instant Iran
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: attacked Israel directly with over three hundred drones and missiles. Again,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration's immediate refrain was do nothing, do not
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: defend yourself, do not retaliate it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: It was truly absurd.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: But you have to understand at every stage that has
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: been the mantra of the Biden White House and the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Democrats is they're undermining Israel's right to self defense. I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: think absolutely Israel should respond. It is responding forcefully. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: expect them to respond significantly more forcefully. I don't anticipate
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: that this is the only response we will see.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: And this may be.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: That was the question I was gonna ask you for
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: just putting in context that people understand is we're recording
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: this after eleven o'clock at night tonight. There I don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: think there's anybody that believes that this is the end
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: of the response from Israel. It's probably more like the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: beginning of the response.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: That's probably right, Although I say, we don't know what
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: we will see what unfolds. But you know, it was
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: really striking that when when the missiles and both ballistic
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: missiles and cruise missiles and the drones over three hundred
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: were launched from Iran, that there are a number of
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: things that are really striking. Number one, a bunch of
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: them never even made it to Israel, both because their
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: technology was not great and also because they were shot
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: down in the air. They were shot down number one,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: using Israel's missile defense, using iron dome and arrow two
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and three those systems. But number two, they were shot
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: down with fighter jets. And let me say something extraordinary.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So the fighter jets that were shooting him down. My
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: understanding is you had Israeli fighter jets, but you also
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: had American fighter jets that were assisting and shooting them down.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: But you also had and this is extraordinary, Saudy fighter
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: jets and Jordanian fighter jets.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly why that's so significant.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Look, if I'd have told you ten years ago or
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: even five years ago that the Arabs would defend Israel
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: in a military attack against it from Iran, that would
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: have seen absurd. And it really is a testament. It's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: a testament to the incredible progress that occurred when Donald
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Trump was president, the peace that was flowering in the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Middle East, the Abraham Accords, where we started to see
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the Arabs and Israelis coming together. And I'll tell you
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a big part of what brought them together was mutual
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: concern over the danger Iran poses, and and that h
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: that this is the fruit of of of what was
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: planted during the Trump administration in the Abraham Accords. But
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that being said, it's still remarkable. I don't believe there
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: is any precedent for Arabs in conflict in support of
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Israel and and and so that's that's really quite remarkable.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: And it does say something when when the Arab states
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East in some ways may be more
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: supportive of Israel than the Biden White House.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great point. And there's also another a question that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I have for you. And as I was watching right
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: before we were we were going to record on CNN,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: they were saying, well, now now that the world really
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: has to be concerned and worried h of of a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: massive and they were using this these types of words.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Massive retaliation from Iran should be expected because Iran has
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: said so, They've said that they are going to unleash
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: basically Holy Hell in response to what Israel has just done.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And they said it's going to be a on a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: level that you know, basically no one's ever seen before.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: YadA, ya YadA. And then they said, you know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: This is what the Biden administration had been warning Israel about.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: It is genuinely shocking to me as I was watching
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that before we got on here, to think you just
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: want Israel to just keep taking it indefinitely and never
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: defend themselves and never fight back and not hit strategic
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: targets because of the threat that is being given by
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the same country that literally just attacked you. What world
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: are they living in?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Look in many ways, Joe Biden, the Democrats are more
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: supportive of Iran right now than they are of Israel.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: And that's an astonishing statement. Israel is our closest ally
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East. They share our values, They are
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: an incredibly valuable military ally to the United States. There
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: intelligence saves the lives of Americans. Their enemies are our enemies.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: And yet, as we've discussed at every stage, literally from
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the moment he was sworn in, Joe Biden and the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: apparatics in his administration have been undermining Israel from day one,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and simultaneously they have been flooding money to Iran, billions
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: of dollars. And just a couple of weeks ago, when
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I forced to vote on the Senate floor that we
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: should not send billions of dollars to Iran, every single
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Democrat but one voted no. The Democrats keep look at
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: it this way. They want to send money to Iran,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and the Democrats are blocking sending money to Israel. That's extraordinary,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: and it is their radical base hates Israel. The anti Semitic,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: radical left that chance from the river to the sea.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: That is who the Democrat Party is terrified of. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: it's who's setting their tune and so even their talking points.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: You know, look, let's go back to October seventh. Remember
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the night of October seventh, the Biden State Department tweeted
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: out that Israel should not retaliate. That night, as twelve
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: hundred Israelis were being murdered, as women and children were
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: being raped, as some thirty Americans were being murdered, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: more were being kidnapped, as hundreds of Israelis were being kidnapped,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration's immediate reaction was, do not retaliate. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: did that on October seventh. They did it again on
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: October eighth, Tony Blinken personally. So that was the reaction
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: at the outset. And understand who started this war. It
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: was Iran. Iran funds Hasbela, Iran controls Hasbela. They are
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: in Iran proxy. The Wall Street Journal reported that the
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Hamas terrorists trained in Iran for October seventh. So it
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: was Iran that invaded Israel and murdered twelve hundred Israelis.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Imagine how America would react if that happened, and then
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it was Iran again who escalated directly firing missiles and
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: drones from Iran into Israel. Of course Israel is going
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: to defend itself and retaliate. It has to do so.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: And yet the Biden administration cannot refrain from repeating Iran's
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: talking points of oh, well this is terrible, and now
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: of course Iran is going to respond massively. How about
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: having a president telling Iran we stand with Israel period
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the end. That's what Biden should be saying, but it's
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: not what he's saying.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: You also have to wonder will this administration change course.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And I've said this before you and I've had this
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: conversation several times. I never root for the United States
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: America to fail on national security issues, especially when it
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: deals with foreign nations. Right, I don't care who the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: president is. I want Joe Biden to be successful in
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: protecting and defending US always against oursaries as well as
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: our allies. And he clearly has done a one eighty
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: from what the Trump doctrine was foreign policy was and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to stand with Ismaie like you just mentioned, no matter what,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: this is not working.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: This weak yes, and just just pause and ask yourself
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: which was better peace and prosperity or war everywhere you look.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: That's the result of the Biden and foreign policy is
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: war everywhere. That's the result of the Biden. Foreign policy
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: is our enemies stronger, emboldened, and more threatening.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So will they look at this and at some point
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: do you believe that they may actually change course? Because
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I mean it sincerely when I say I want us
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to be safe and I want them to protect Israel.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I think they are ideologues. I think they are self righteous.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I think they are naive. I think they believe, like
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: a bunch of college professors in the faculty lounge, that Iran,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: if we just give piece of chance, man, you know Iran,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: we don't have any right to tell Iran to have nukes.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: You know, So what if if they're crazy religious zealots
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: who say they want to murder us, you know, if
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: we're just nice to them, if we just give them
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a bunch of money, that they'll be our friends. Look,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: it is hopeless naivete, and they believe it like a religion.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: They keep doing it. Think of the the just how
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: devoted you have to be to appeasement to Iran? To
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: in the wake of October seventh, still refuse to enforce
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the oil sanctions today, yeah, this not enforce the oil sections.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it is also worth noting today
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: on Friday, Biden is announcing massive sanctions against Alaska, our state,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: the National Petroleum Reserve. They are shutting down production in
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: It is an incredibly rich petroleum reserve in Alaska, massive reserves.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: So explain to me how these anti American Marxist zelots
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: can possibly justify they hate oil and gas in America.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: They're going to destroy jobs in America, They're gonna they're
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: gonna drive up the cost of gasoline for Americans in America.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: But at the same time they're going to allow Iran
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: to go to go from three hundred thousand barrels a
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: day of oil to two million barrels of oil a day.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: That's what they're doing right now. And apparently Biden and
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the Democrats they only like oil and gas if it's
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: produced by crazed Zelots who want to murder us and
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: want to kill as many Israelis as possible.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: What you just said made me want to talk about
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: funding for a second. What is sad is because the
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: position that you just mentioned. The Biden administration is absolutely
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: funding Iran and their needs. Yes, what we're not doing
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: right now is giving Israel funding that they need, an
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: aid in sport, they need, in military hardware that they
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: need from the United States of America.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: How is that possible?
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Because the Democrat Party is captured by the radical left,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: and sadly the mainstream Democrat Party has turned against Israel.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It's not just the fringe. It's not just ilhan Omar
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and Taleb and AOC, It's not just the whack jobs.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: It's Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is the one that stood
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: on the floor and demanded that Net and Yahoo be
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: thrown out of office. The democratically elected leader of Israel,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: it's Joe Biden. Joe Biden is the one who orchestrated
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: a resolution in the United Nations effective condemning Israel for
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: not having an immediate cease fire.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: It's Nancy Pelosi who.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Signed a letter demanding that America cut off weapons military
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: weapons for Israel to defend itself. Those are not fringe Democrats.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Those are the leading Democrats in office. And that's an
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: enormous problem. I had forty a couple of years ago.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Now I'm forty two, and I can tell you the
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: older you get, the more you start to realize this
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: stuff changes. I didn't have the same energy to play
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: sports like I used to and I played in college.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't have the same energy to work out. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: didn't have the same energy to go running. And that
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: is not because I'm somehow an anomaly. It's because the
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: reality is historically right now to sass from levels have
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: fallen off a cliff to an all time low. That's
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: why I want you to know about my friends at Chalk.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The patriots at Chalk Choq are here to help real
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: American men just like you, to take back your right
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: to proudly maximize your masculinity by boosting TESTOSTERM levels up
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to twenty percent over ninety days now. I've been taking

• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the aid package that Israel needs, what does it look
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: like and how quickly are we going to get an
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: answer for Israel, especially if this turns into a significant
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: military conflict between them and Iran that goes back and forth.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: They need it now, Well, that's up in the air
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: right now as we sit here tonight. The House is
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: in the middle of debating that question right now, and
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: they're trying to put together an aid package and voted out.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: They're putting together a big supplemental bill that they're talking about,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: including Israel Aid in that they're talking about, including Ukraine
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: eight in, which is going to split some members of
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the House and some members of the Senate. They're talking about,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: including their bill forcing China to sell TikTok, which is
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: a very important bill. It's going to be a big,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: complicated supplemental It's not clear right now that they're going
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: to get the votes to pass any of it, but
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: they are actively battling it out in the House right
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: now as we speak.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated on this as it's going to
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: be a very quick moving next I think week week
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and a half on these issues.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: We will cover it all for you.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: There's also another big warning and a moment of honesty
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that came from the Attorney General, Merrick Garland.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: He was in front.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Hold hold on a second, did you just say honesty
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: from the Attorney General, Merrit Garland?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, it's everybody get right with the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Lord because it could be rapture alert.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Holy cow, that is a sign of the end times.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I was wondering if you were going to let me
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: get away with that moment, and clearly see this is
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: why I love doing this show because I was like.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Am setting him up? And yes, you took, you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Took, Like the man is so smug and so dishonest.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: All right, So what did he say? I mean, I
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: suppose even a stop clock is right twice a day?
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: What what? What did he say? That that that that
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: was actually honest?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: So the Attorney General was asked about how bad the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the fetanol not only you know deaths and abuse are,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: but how much is coming across the border and how
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: big of a threat does he sees? The Attorney General
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: he was asked this question, and I want to play it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's a little bit longer, but it's important
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: because I want you to hear what he said. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the reason why I think this is so important is
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: we also have to tie this back to the impeachment
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: of the man. My orchists who Democrats refuse to move on.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: So at the same time they're doing that, you have
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the Attorney Joe going, yeah, yeah, we got a major
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: problem with fetnah in this country.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It's hell of a lot of people here. Take a listen.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Senator Moran and I both mentioned in our opening statements,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: as did you the continuing fight against the opioid epidemic,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: substance misuse, the drug cartels. I continue to be very
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: concerned about fentanyl use and poisoning. New Hampshire has lost
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: too many people to fentanyl overdoses. Can you talk a
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: little bit about the OJ's efforts to interdict these drugs
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: and efforts to find a way to prosecute those responsible.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: Yes, Senator, I have said, and I deeply mean this,
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: that fentanyl is the dead has a drug threat that
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: this country has ever faced. I've met with families at
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: the DEA, whose children, whose teenagers, whose infants, whose grandparents
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: have died, mostly not even knowing that what they're taking
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: is fentanyl, thinking it's another kind of prescription pill that
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: they were able to get over the internet. We don't
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: even refer to this as overdoses anymore, for this is
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: drug poisoning, because that's what it is. So we are
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: facing this with the urgency it requires.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Let me just stop there. He says, we are facing
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: this with the urgency that it requires. If this is
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: as urgent as he just said, and I want to
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: read that back to you, Centaer, I have said, and
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I deeply mean this, that fetnah is the deadliest drug
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: threat that this country has ever faced. I've met with
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the families at the DEA, whose children, who'se teenagers, whose infants,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: whose grandparents have died, mostly not even knowing that what
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: they were taking as ventnol, thinking it's another kind of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a prescription pill that they are able to get over
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the internet. We don't even refer to this as overdoses anymore.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: This is drug poisoning, because that's what it is. So
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: then he says that we are facing this with the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: urgency that it requires. If that was true, Senator, wouldn't
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you be then closing the southern border and not having
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: it wide open like it is right now?
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Of course that this is not complicated. The drug traffickers
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: are the human traffickers. It's the same drug cartels. In
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, the drug cartels made five hundred million dollars
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: from human trafficking. In twenty twenty two, they made thirteen
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: billion dollars from human trafficking. That's a twenty six hundred
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: percent increase. The people making fentanyl are getting extraordinarily rich
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: under Joe Biden and Alejandro Majorcis and Merrick Garland's open borders.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: They are flooding the border, and the human trafficking and
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: drug trafficking are completely intertwined. It's the same people doing it,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: it's the same cartels doing it. And the way they
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: do it is they'll send a flood of migrants over
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: one portion of the river, and border patrol will all
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: go there. And while border patrol is dealing with the migrants.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: And by the way, because Biden's policy is catch and release,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: once border patrol apprehends a group, and let's be clear,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the group is normally finding border patrol and turning themselves in,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: then the majority of agents are spending their time processing
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: those migrants, or staying with them in the detention facilities,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: or getting them diapers, or getting them food, or caring
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: for this massive influx. And so the percentage of agents
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: on on the border that are actually deployed drops precipitously
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: because the vast majority of the agents are processing migrants
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: and doing administrative work. And then what the cartels do
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: is a mile up the river, that's where they move
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: the fetanyl across where the border patrol agents are dealing
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: with the illegal immigrants, they move the fetanyl somewhere else.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And so the two are very closely intertwined. And if
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden and Mayorcis and Garland were willing to deport
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants and follow the law, what that would mean
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: is that border patrol agents could be on the border
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: and stop the fentanyl from coming in. But they can't.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you, I'll give you some amazing stats.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: So do you know how much how much drugs were
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: seized at the southern border in March in one month?
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: How much of feanyl one three and eighty nine pounds?
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: And understand, look, fetanyl is so powerful. Just a tiny
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: grain or two is enough to kill you.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Tell the story you told us a while ago.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: But I think it's important for people to understand that,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: just so that they have context. Fetnah is not a
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: heavy drug, Okay, Like you see like a kilo of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: cocaine and it looks pretty heavy and pretty dense, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: then you look at you know, a kilo for example,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: of marijuana. It's obviously a pretty big package. But there's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: talk about the grains when you met uh with the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: agents explaining just how little can kill you, and the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: story that you told with your own daughters using a
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: sweeten low packet.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is something that a DA agent told me,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: and he had me and several other people take out
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: a packet of Sweet and Low and tear open the
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: packet of Sweet and Low and dump dump all the
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: contents out, empty all the contents. And then he said, okay,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: stick your pinky and the empty empty bag of Sweet
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: and Low and you pull your pinky out, and there
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: are two or three little grains that are on your pinky.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: He said, that's enough fatanyl to kill you, just the
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: residue that's in the packet after you've emptied it. And
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: so what I did with both my daughters is I
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: got three packets of Sweet and Low and I tore
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: one open.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I had them to tear it open.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I had them empty out the contents and then then
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: do exactly that, because look, it's terrifying. My girls are
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: thirteen and sixteen.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: They're good kids.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: But what is so frightening about this epidemic is it's
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: not Look, it's one thing if you know a heroin
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: junkie on the street who's abusing drugs for years and
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: years and years, if they overdose, that's sad when anyone dies,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: but that's the result of extended conduct. What is terrifying
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: about this crisis is the people who are dying are
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: not drug addicts, and in many instances, they're not even
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: drug users in the ordinary sense of things. They're a
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: teenager or a young adult who goes to a party
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: and they're at a party and someone says, hey, you
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: want to try a xanax, want to try a percoset,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: You want to try you know, a riddlin, And look,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: should you take those drugs if they're not prescribed to
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: you know? But a teenager doing that that didn't used
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: to be a death sentence. Because if they get a
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: pill that someone say god on the internet, and it
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: happens to have fentanyl in it, they literally can drop dead.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: And that is happening over and over and over again.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I'll give you an amazing stay.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: You go back to Garland's exact words, and I think
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: it's important that people hear this as he described it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: We don't even refer to this as an as an
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: overdose or overdose anymore.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: This is drug poisoning because that's what it is.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: This is a point I've tried with my kids to
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: emphasize it. But it's frightening because look, teenagers do stupid things,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: and it can be just one random And the reason
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: why Garland is right to use the term poisoning because
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: an overdose suggests a drug user that takes too much.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: And what's happening with feanyl is you have things that
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: are laced with fate fetanyl that they don't know they're
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: taking feentanyl. That's why it's a poisoning because taking a
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: xanax pill will not kill you, but if there's fentanyl
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: in it, and if there's a little bit too much,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: you can literally just drop dead right there. And here
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: is the stat that is amazing and terrifying. Right now today,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: fetanyl is the number one cause of death for Americans
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: age eighteen to forty five, number one, number one, more
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: than car accidents, more than heart disease, more than anything.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: By the way, did you say to forty five?
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Eighteen to forty five?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: So what that means is if you remember at the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: end of last year, it was eighteen to thirty nine,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: so that it's expanded now to forty five.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if the numbers have expanded or just
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the category that I'm looking at, but eighteen to forty
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: five it's the number one cause of death.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: And here let me give you a quote from Biden's
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: DEA administrator and Milgrim. She said, cartels are quote killing
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Americans with fentanyl at catastrophic and record rates like we've
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: never seen before. And that begs the question, then, why
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: the hell are you making cartels incredibly rich and allowing
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: them to bring ten point four million illegal immigrants into
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: this country?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Senator, I'm not sure what's worse.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Is it the fact that we have an Attorney general
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: that is genuinely being honest now with the American people
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: about the threat, talking about this being the number one
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: killer for those forty five to eighteen in this country
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and knowing it and publicizing it, and then yet they're
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: not doing a damn thing to stop the flow of
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the drug coming across the southern border or securing that order.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: So what is the takeaway for the American people? We
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: know that you're dying at record rates, but we need
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants to come into fundomly change this country. So
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: we're willing to sacrifice your lives, and your kids' lives,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: and your grandparents' lives.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: So, Ben, I'm going to give you the very sad takeaway.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: The Democrats simply do not care. Now, that sounds harsh,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: that sounds political, But what other conclusion can you draw
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: when they continue to put in place the policies that
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: enriches the cartels and that allows them to keep flooding
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: this country with fentanyl. And you know there's some irony
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: about that exchange. So the senator who was questioning Merrick
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Garland was Jeene Shaheen. Jean Shaheen is a Democrat from
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: New Hampshire. Literally the day before yesterday, Jean Shaheen sat
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: on the Senate floor along with every single Democrat and
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: voted to shut down, to not have a trial on
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Alajandro Majorcis, to block even one word of testimony, to
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: block any and all evidence of the invasion at our
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: southern border, any and all evidence of the fentanyl poisonings.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: That was a major element of why Mayorcis was impeached,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: and every single Democrat voted straight party line. Look the
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: vote on Wednesday, you need to understand how dramatic and
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: unprecedented it was. And let me say on two fronts.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Number one, twenty two times in our nation's history, the
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: House of Representatives has voted to impeach an individual and
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: has sent articles of impeachment to the Senate twenty two
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: times prior to yesterday. The twenty one times in every
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: single time when the Senate had jurisdiction, in other words,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: when the person who had been impeached hadn't died or
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: resigned from office. Every single time, the Senate held a trial,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: hurt evidence, and then the Senators adjudicated the case, voted
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: guilty or not guilty. Yesterday is the first time in
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: over two hundred years of our nation's history with the
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Senate refused to do its job, and it defied the Constitution.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: And listen, I remember well, I was standing on the
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Senate floor when Harry Reid, then the Senate majority leader
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: in twenty thirteen, the Democrat exercised the nuclear option and
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: blew up the Senate filibuster for appointees, and it did
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: did enormous damage to the Senate. It broke the rules
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: of the Senate. And I remember turning and turning to
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Amy Klobuchar, Democrat senator from Minnesota at the time, and
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I told her, I said, Amy, you are going to
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: regret this. This is going to result in a lot
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: more judges and justices in the mold of antonin Scalia
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: and Clarence Thomas and every Democrat. Nonetheless, Lemmings jumped off
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: that cliff, and ironically, the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: versus Wide never would have happened if Harry Reid the
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Democrats had not nuked the filibuster in twenty thirteen. That
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: was the direct result, because there's no way on earth
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: that Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Cony Barrett, and probably even Neil
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Gorsich could have gotten sixty votes to get confirmed, which
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: is what would have been required if the filibuster still existed.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: And what happened yesterday is the Democrats nuked not the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Senate rules, but the Constitution, the Constitution's power of impeachment
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: for the Senate. And as a result of yesterday, never
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: again will there be an impeachment trial when the Senate
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: is of the same party as the president. And so,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: by the way, this could happen less than a year
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: from now. I think it is likely that Donald Trump
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: is going to win in November.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I hope he does.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I think it is likely that Republicans are going to
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: take the Senate.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: I hope we do.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: It is also possible, unfortunately, that Democrats take the House.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I hope they don't, but it is a real possibility.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: It's a very very close majority if that happens. If
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: we start January of next year with a Democrat House,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: a Republican Senate, and Trump in the White House, I'm
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: here to predict what's going to happen. The Democrats are
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: going to impeach Donald Trump again a third time, and
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: who knows, maybe a fourth and a fifth time. They
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: hate him. They'll do it again if they have a
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: majority in the House. But you know what will happen.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: If they do that, they'll send it to the Senate,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: and I guarantee you a Senate, Republicans are going to say, nope,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: we're not having a trial. We're going to follow the
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Democrat president. What's good for the goose is good for
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: the gander. So no trial for you. That's a bad thing.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it is worth noting that was
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the scenario for the first Trump impeachment. The first Trump impeachment,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: there was a Democrat House, a Republican Senate, and obviously
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Trump was in the White House, and we could have
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: done what Chuck Schumer and the Democrats did yesterday, but
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: we didn't. We could have just thrown it out at
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: the outset, but we said, no, we have a constitutional
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: responsibility to hold a trial. We think this impeachment is garbage,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: but we have a responsibility to respect the constitution and
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: allow the house managers to present their case and then
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: to make it adjudication.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: And it's sad because now there's this, like you said,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what you do. If you're in the
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: party that has majority, you can pretty much get away
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: with murder, especially on the Democratic side, and they will
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: not hold you accountable or even have a trial and
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: defend you. They to say you don't get that opportunity
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: at all. All right, I want to tell you real
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: quick about a really, really, really cool company and it's
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: called Ammo Squared. It's an American family owned company owned
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: and operated started by a husband and wife team, and
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: what they do is something that's just phenomenal. Ammo Square
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: helps you stay stocked up on and ammunition automatically. Ammo
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: is delivered to you on demand or automatically when you
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: need it, and stored for free when you don't. It's
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: like a four oh one k of ammo. Ammo Squaer,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: like I said, as family owned, and what they do
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: is they get you the best price on AMMO and
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: you have a way to build a stockpile of AMMO
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: month after month after month. It's also a way to
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: literally invest in ammunition. You can buy low and dollar
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: cost average over time, and then you can actually cash
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: out when prices rise. We saw what happened with AMO
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: prices during COVID. You couldn't find AMMO and AMMO prices went.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Through the roof.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Well, that's where you could have cashed out or taken
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: delivery of your AMMO and had it at your house.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You can buy as little as a few dollars a
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: month and let it grow over time, or you can
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: buy a bunch all at once and you have it
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: when you need it. Now, this is not reloads. This
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: is manufactured premium ammunition. Typical customers will cumue at about
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: three to six months and then they ship. But some
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: ship every month. Others just accumulate thousands of dollars worth
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: of AMMO and they might not.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Ship it for years. It's up to you.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: But the best part is when there is a run
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: on ammunition, you know you have ammunition stored up and
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: it can ship with one click of a button. Now
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I want to get you some free AMO right now,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: and I can do that by you going to amosquare
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: dot com slash ben. That's amosquare dot com slash ben.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: You can sign up and get free AMMO in your
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: account right now. Amosquare dot com slash ben to sign
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: up and get some free AMO in your account right now. Finally, Senator,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: what exactly did Democrats do yesterday on impeachment? Just so
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: people understand how they pulled this off?
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Well, at one pm yesterday we convened on the Senate floor.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: This is pursue it to the Senate rules. When we
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: enter impeachment, we were all sworn in and then we
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: all sign the oath Book, one at a time. We
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: signed the oath Book. And what is supposed to happen
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: next is that we adopt a resolution laying out a
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: trial schedule of how the House managers are going to
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: present their case. But instead what happened is Chuck Schumer
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: rose on a constitutional point of order, and a constitutional
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: point of order as you stand and say, what is
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: on the floor violates the Constitution. And he raised a
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: constitutional point of order and he said Article one, the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: first article sent over by the House does not allege
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: a high crime or misdemeanor. And so what happened next
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: is we voted on whether Article one alleged a high
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: crime or misdemeanor. High crime and misdemeanor is what you
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: need to be able to impeach someone. Now, Article one
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: focused on Alejandro Majorcis's defiance of federal law, that that
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: that that he was refusing to follow explicit and clear
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: federal law, federal law that that says that that illegal
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: immigrants shall be detained, that that illegal immigrants with criminal
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: conviction shall be detained and shall be deported over and
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: over again. Immigration law is mandatory. It says shall shall,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: shall shall, and he's defying it at a level it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: never happened before. It's not that he's bad at his job.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: It's that he is utterly flouting and defying federal law.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: And that that's the first article of impeachment. And they argued, well,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: actually they didn't argue. They just made a motion that
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: it's not a high crime or misdemeanor. They presented no argument.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: They they did not give a legal argument, they did
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: not write a brief, they did not present an argument.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: And and I was the.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Person who who who raised the lead objection to that. Now,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: under the impeachment rules, you can't debate on the Senate floor.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: You're supposed to be silent because you're jurors. I'm just saying,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: why is that? But that makes sense because your juror
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: not a lawyer. I guess presenting right, right, And so
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: I made a motion for us to move into executive session.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: If we move into executive session, we throw the reporters out,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: we turned the TV cameras off, but then we can
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: debate it. And I said, look, you're making a major
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: legal point. You presented no argument, and what you're saying
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: is quality is fundamentally wrong.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you the amazing thing is.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: The idea that refusing to follow the law, defying the
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: law is not a high crime and misdemeanor is not impeachable.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: It is contrary to the original understanding of the Constitution.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Joseph Story, who was a Supreme Court justice, one of
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: the leading constitutional scholars right at the very beginning of
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: our country, and his commentaries in the Constitution are widely
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: cited for understanding what the founding generation believed the Constitution
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: to mean. And he talked about he wrote at length
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: about high crimes and misdemeanors, and he gave lots of examples,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: including the Lord Admiral refusing to protect the high seas,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: and he said, that is a high crime or misdemeanor,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: and that is virtually analogous, very closely analogous to the
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: head of Homeland Security refusing to secure the border. It's
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: the same principle of allowing lawless piracy to threaten and
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: invade America. So Joseph's story and the founding generation understood
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: this to be a high crime and misdemeanor. And amazingly enough,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Ben the Biden Justice Department argued in front of the U. S.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court that impeachment was the remedy for the Biden
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: administration refusing to follow the law. So in Texas versus
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: the United States, Texas sued the Biden administration for refusing
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: to secure the border, and the Supreme Court ended up
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: agreeing with the Biden administration and saying, well, Texas can't
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: sue and the Biden doj The Solicitor General for Biden argued, look,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: if you have a cabinet member who's refusing to follow
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: the law, Congress has remedies, including impeachment. And so I
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: stood up and said, listen, the Biden Department of Justice
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: argued last year this was impeachable. It didn't matter. Every
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: single Democrat, all of them. And by the way, even
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: the so called moderates Joe Manchin and Cursten Cinema, they
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: voted also Nope, not a high crime or misdemeanor. And
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: as a result, because they had to have a majority,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: the point of order carried. They got fifty one votes
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: for it. And so the first article was thrown out,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: and then they did it again on the second one.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you the second one is even more astonishing.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: So as a result of the first vote, it is
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: now the position of Democrats that any cabinet member can
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: refuse to follow the law and defy the law and
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: utterly ignore the law, and you can't impeach him for it.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's an astonishing and dangerous proposition in Democrat
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: looney land. But the second article of impeachment was for
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: breach of trust, and it focused on majorcas repeatedly lying
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: to Congress under oath about what was happening at the border.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: And again Chuck Schumer rose on a point of order
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: and said this is not a high crime or misdemeanor.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Now mind you, they're saying lying under oath to Congress
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: is not impeachable. It is a felony. It is a
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: felony that you can serve jail time for. And it's
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: worth remembering Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury. The House
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: impeached him, and what did the Senate do. They didn't
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: throw it out, they didn't dismiss it. The House managers
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: presented the case, they hurt and conducted a trial, and
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: ultimately the Senate acquitted him. But they did their duty
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: to hold a trial. And actually before that, there's someone
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you've never heard of, a guy named Walter Nixon.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: You know who Walter Nixon was?
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Who is that?
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Walter Nixon was a federal judge. He was a federal
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: judge actually from Mississippi. You're an all MS grad. He
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: was a federal judge from Mississippi. But he was not
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: a good guy. And he was convicted a perjury before
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: a grand jury. And you know what happened. The Congress
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: impeached him, The House impeached him, the Senate convicted him,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: and he was removed as a federal judge for perjury.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: So even though it was clear, there was clear precedent
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: that yes, perjury, lying under oath is a high crime
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: or misdemeanor, it is impeachable, every single Senate Democrat voted
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: that it's not a high crime or misdemeanor. So now apparently,
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: again in Democrat Wonderland, lying to Congress is AOK. And understand,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: this was not about the Constitution. They didn't care. They
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: had no arguments as to why the Constitution said this.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: This was about power, and this was about protecting their
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: political backsides because they're terrified of the American people hearing
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: what is happening at the border, the fentanyl, the deaths,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: the rapes, the children being abused. They do not want
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: that evidence before the American people. And I'll say this
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: is a final point to wrap up. Do you want
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: to see proof of why this is all political and
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: why the Democrats did what they did?
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: You know what, you know what ms you know what,
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: MSNBC and CNN covered all day yesterday, Trump, the Trump Trial,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: Stormy Daniels, ooh smut lying processing Like apparently there was
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: no impeachment proceeding in the Senate.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: Nothing happened. There's no border crisis.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: The only thing they would cover is is the attack
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: on Trump.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Facts, don't forget. By the way, this is a really
• 47:03
