1. Immigration Policy & Military Judges

  • Focuses heavily on Donald Trump’s promise to crack down on illegal immigration.

  • Highlights a Pentagon directive authorizing up to 600 military lawyers to act as temporary immigration judges to address the backlog of 3.4–3.5 million cases.

  • Supporters frame it as parental rights and medical freedom, while critics (medical associations, Democrats) warn it risks public health crises like measles or polio resurgence.

  • The narrative ties distrust of the CDC and federal health agencies to COVID-19 handling.

3. Biden Autopen Investigation

  • Discusses a House Oversight Committee investigation, led by Rep. James Comer, into whether Joe Biden (during his presidency) relied excessively on an autopen to sign official documents (pardons, executive orders).

  • Suggests this raises questions about Biden’s cognitive health and who was truly in charge.

  • Multiple aides reportedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, fueling suspicion of a cover-up.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
President Donald Trump promised that if you elected a president,
he was going to get rid of illegal immigrants, especially
the worst of them that were in this country, those
that committed heinous crimes, violent crimes, those had gone after children,
those have been convicted of murder and rape. Well, the
President has made good on that promise. But there's still

(00:22):
a lot of work to be done. How do we
know this Because of the backlock, there are not enough
immigration judges to deal with all of the cases. Well,
the President said that's not going to stop him from
moving forward, And now we know what the plan looks like.
The Pentagon has authorized up to six hundred military lawyers

(00:46):
to serve as temporary immigration judges. This could speed things
up significantly. And not only has the President said this
is important, but the Defense Secretary Pete Headseth approving the
deployment ofup this six hundred military judges makes it a reality.
The Justice Department is where they're going to be working.
They're going to act as quote, temporary immigration judges. The

(01:09):
directive follows a request from the DOJ to deliberately help
alleviate a overwhelming backlog in immigration courts. Why is this
happening because we're actually prosecuting people that need to be
prosecuted for the crime of being in this country illegally,
along with other crimes as well. Now, the deployment timeline

(01:32):
is also very important. It will begin as soon as
possible with groups of one hundred and fifty attorneys being
sent at a time. The first round of personnel is
actually expected to be identified by this next week, and
then they will be put out into the court system. Now,
their initial term will last no more than one hundred

(01:53):
and seventy nine days, with the renewals possible under the
current directives. Why one hundred and seventy nine It's because
how the law works. Right now for these temporary judges,
the Justice Department has faced a dramatic shortage of immigration judges.
Over one hundred, by the way, have been fired to
resign after the deferred resignation offers, cutting the bench roughly

(02:16):
in half from about twelve hundred to six hundred judges.
The AP is now reporting simultaneously, the immigration court system
faces a massive backlog of approximately three point four to
three point five million pending cases. How do we get
to the point where there were this many cases backlog?

(02:39):
It was all by design by the Biden administration so
that illegal immigrants could overflow the country and stay here
and not actually have to worry about getting in any
trouble or being held accountable for breaking into the country.
It was also part of the game plan. Democrats wanted
to overrun the country, so the only way that seem

(03:00):
possible to deal with the issue was to offer some
sort of amnesty, to basically say that if, well, you're
here already, we'll just let you stay and we'll give
you a pathway to citizenship. Well, Donald Trump ran on
doing the exact opposite of that, and he's now saying
we've got to clean up the backlog, no matter how

(03:21):
long it takes, and adding the up to six hundred
military lawyers to service temporary immigration judges is a massive
step in the right direction. Now, the administration's broader context
includes increased immigration enforcement as well, and the White House
said the deployment of troops to the border and different
major cities, and also the use of military resources in

(03:42):
domestic immigration operations. Now, you're gonna hear a lot from
the media, and you're gonna hear a lot from the left.
Their argument about why this is going to be a
quote disaster. Is this they're claiming already that the military lawyers,
who haven't even been named or been in the courts
yet typically they say, lack training and immigration law or
procedure and due process considerations. The American Immigration Lawyers Association

(04:09):
coming out with a full court press condemning what they
say is the shift, likening assigning the DOJ attorneys to
immigration judges is to asking a cardiologist, they say, to
do a hip replacement, thus highlighting the mismatch in expertise,
and running to the news to put out that propaganda.

(04:30):
I just told you, where do they put it first? Well,
the mainstream media, and they started with CBS News, and yes,
there was also a Reuter's report echoing the same exact
verbiage as CBS News and same concerns, noting that even
with additional training, jags may struggle with the complexities of

(04:53):
immigration proceedings due process, they say, and judicial integrity is
also a major problem. Right critics are now saying that
this measure prioritizes speed over the fairness of the law
breakers of the illegal immigrants. They say that potentially is
going to undermine due process and increase the risk of
flaud or appealable. They claim decisions. Democratic legislators and immigration

(05:18):
rights advocates have already joined together and they're condemning the
move and also saying that it is reckless and not
putting people where they should be first. So here we are.
The Pentagon is authorized up to six hundred military lawyers
to serve as temporary judges. The left is saying, yes,
this is going to be a disaster and that these

(05:40):
illegal immigrants deserve a better system. So here's my response.
Maybe it's time for us to stop caring so much
about people that break into this country and start protecting
their victims and American workers. And that's exactly what I
voted for and it's exactly what Donald Trump is doing now.
By the way, the local media, they do have a

(06:01):
little bit of a different spin on this, especially in
cities that have been affected by so many illegal immigrants
and much of the violent crime. Let me give you
a perfect example of that. The report that played on
Fox ten, the local affiliate in Phoenix, sounding very different
than what I read you from the big boys at
CBS and at the other news media outlets.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Their nationwide new at six, the military could soon be
running some immigration courts across the US. Today, the Pentagon
issued new orders to six hundred military lawyers to serve
as temporary immigration judges. The first round of attorneys are
heading to the Justice Department next week. The Trump administration
says that this will help expedite immigration cases as the

(06:45):
country has long dealt with a shortage of judges. Arizona
attorney Nick Suriel says that the decision will only bog
down an already broken legal system.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I've been doing this thirty three years, and this least
six hundred pages of immigration law. Well, right, these things
are not you know, for the casual observer, These these
people being being proposed have is again one week of training.
You know what we're asking for. We're asking for all
the appellate courts to be clogged, clogged up with cases.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
The judge advocates have a range of different responsibilities like
their civilian counterparts, including carrying out prosecutions, acting as defense
attorneys for service members, and offering legal advice.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
All right, so let's just be real. It's not that
different from the mainstream media. Right, it was almost good,
but then you hear it the way that it was
just described, and yeah, guess what. The media still wants
you to think this is some sort of terrible idea. Well,
at the end of the day, the President of United
States of America says, we're going to do this. The

(07:51):
Pentagon says we're going to do this. The man in
charge of the Pentagon says, we're doing it. And the
most important part is this. When you have a system
that was deliberately backloged, like the Democrats did, to the
point where we have a million and a half people
waiting for a date, the president had no choice but

(08:12):
to take that disaster and try to get it back
to something that's manageable. This is why it's so important
moving forward that the president has these judges and maybe
others that get in the game and get this country
back on track. When it comes to our immigration laws, policies,
and enforcement, cause and effect is something that happens all

(08:36):
the time. Well, there was a major cause and effect
when it came to COVID nineteen and the lies that
were told to the American people about that vaccine and
so many of the regulations and rules that put us
in a lockdown for far too long. What happened. There's
a lot of people now asking more questions than ever

(08:57):
about the CDC and not trusting the CDC, not trusting
them on vaccines. It also brought up an even bigger point,
should the government be able to mandate what vaccines you
have to have for your kids? Well, Florida, they said
they believe that parents should have the rights over their children,

(09:18):
not the federal government when it comes to vaccines. Let
me be clear about what happened in Florida. It is
not in Florida, and this is very important, a ban
on vaccines. What Florida has now done is said parents
could decide, not the government, and that brings us to
the big headline. Liberals are losing their minds because they

(09:39):
want the government to be able to dictate to you
what you have to do for your children. Florida now
we know plans to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those
required for children attending public schools. The announcement came from
the Surgeon General of Florida and was made during a

(10:01):
press conference alongside Governor Ron De Santis. Now, the Surgeon
General describe the mandates as oppressive and even liken them
to slavery, and frame the repeal as a matter of
printal choice, bodily autonomy, and medical freedom. Florida, by the way,
would become the first US state to withdraw mandatory vaccination

(10:22):
requirements entirely, marking a significant shift from decades of public
health policy. Now, while the Department of Health can rescind
mandates it issued administratively, any vaccine requirements established by laws,
such as those for polio, measles, and monks, you know, intentanus,

(10:42):
for example, will require legislative action to quote unquote repeal. Well,
the liberals their minds exploded over this, as well as
many in the medical field. The American Medical Associations say
that the repeal would quote undermine decades of public health
progress and dramatically increased the risk of serious illness. Well,

(11:05):
guess what if you guys at the CDC and in
the medical community wouldn't have lied about the COVID vaccine
and its effectiveness, or the spread or masking or staying
six feet apartners, shutting down the schools, or any of
the issues you lied to us about with COVID, then
we might actually believe you on issues moving forward. But

(11:25):
the reality is Americans don't. Infectious disease leaders also came
out warning of likely outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles
and polio, especially in schools and vulnerable populations. Florida Democrats
echoed these concerns, with Senator Jones calling it a quote
grave public health risk. Another state senator emphasized disease like

(11:49):
polio could return and that would be horrific for Florida. Now,
I went on CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillips. It was
the lead story, and I want you to hear how
the media is now attacking Donald Trump for this, saying
that he's going to have kids die because of a popsey.
It's been acted in Florida. Yes, they want to fear

(12:11):
monger you and control you. Yet again, listen carefully.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Joining the conversation for this one is doctor Chris Parnell.
She's the director of the NAACP Center for Health Equity
and Public Health and Preventative Medicine. Physician and doctor Purnell,
you know this well. In twenty twenty, we had thirteen
cases of measles twenty twenty five, fourteen hundred, a huge
increase in whooping cough whooping cough in this country, and

(12:39):
at the same time, the rates of vaccine exemptions have
gone up by about a point since twenty nineteen. None
of this is by accident, none of this is by osmosis.
And now this in Florida reckless.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
If I could summon up in one word, let's just
go to some facts, and I have him here to
keep myself honest. Since the last thirty years, we've saved
over one hundred and fifty million lives because of vaccines globally.
If we begin to think about in the United States,
we've saved over one point one million children due to

(13:15):
vaccination since nineteen ninety four. We've prevented five hundred and
eight million illnesses in thirty two million hospitalizations. That's not
anything to wink at. That's hardcore data. But what's happening
in the United States is as if we are a
runaway train. In public health, we talk about the cliff

(13:37):
of good health, and we have fallen completely off of
the cliff.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
That company feels like that in a way, Ben that
everybody sitting at this table, all the folks in Florida,
all of these people who are vaccine skeptics now have
benefited from vaccines allowing them to live their lives without polio,
without measles, and now all of a sudden they want
to pull the rut out from underneath children, as I'm

(14:02):
surprised by. I mean, you have kids, A lot of
us do at this table. If you live in Florida,
what what would you?

Speaker 6 (14:09):
Two things?

Speaker 7 (14:09):
One't they're not outlawed.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
That's good. The parents are going to decide too. There's
a cause and effect.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
And the CDC lied to us about COVID and they
lied a lot. They lied about masks in school, they
lied about distancing, They lied about the efficiency or the
effectiveness of the COVID nineteen vaccine.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
It is true I said that distancing, did they did?
They not lie about the effective of the mass Yes.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
If you talk about certain types of masks, if we're
looking at high quality masks. If we're looking at high
quality masks, right, so mass absolutely permit infections because this
is the way science works. Science works as you get data,
the type of communication that you give.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
You can't say the reason you can.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I think I actually think it's a more if you're
saying things that are accurate. I do think it's fair
for her to count.

Speaker 8 (15:06):
He said that masking was effective and work when they
knew internal documents said, emails came out that it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, well what distance he said.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
You're seeing it was going to stop?

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Then are you are you gonna are you going to
have a conversation? Are you just going to keep talking?

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Look?

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Hold on, okay, First of all, what she is disputing
is your language around this, which is that they lied,
which she's saying. I think she's right about this is
not true. There are certain types of masks that work
better than others science.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I mean, this is this is one Florida did this.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
Let me do what you guys don't understand. There's a cause.

Speaker 8 (15:51):
Effect that the American people don't trust this for the
reasons I said, you may not like this.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
You may not.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Americans don't trust the CD because RFK Junior and I
got the job. Hold on a second, okay, man, just
give me one second. Okay, this this Florida Surgeon General
has been railing against vaccines for a while, but he's
also responsible for a lot of misinformation. He's altered key

(16:20):
findings in a COVID nineteen vaccine safety study.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Practice.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
He pushed things like cures like ivermectin and others for
for cot not work.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
No have it shows that it did work.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
No, he is pushing all of those that it does
not work effect Okay, Ben, are you really going to
argue with the doctor.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
This iss during COVID You guys screwed us and we've
failed miserably at a vaccine.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Isn't it amazing how they're so angry that you have
parents that are going to have the right to make
a decision for their children what is best for them.
They cannot stand that the government can't dictate to the people,
at least in Florida on the issue of vaccines. They
cannot stand to admit that the reason why this happened,

(17:15):
the reason why RFK Juniors and the government is because
the cause of effect of the CDC lying pathologically to
the American people every step of the way on the
issue of COVID nineteen, the effectiveness of vaccines and masking
and all the other things that I just mentioned. And
they're mad that this is happening in Florida. Now, look,

(17:36):
I think the people in Florida should be trusted. I
think the people in Florida should have the right to
do what's best for their children. And if the doctors
are angry that they say the science is overwhelming that
these vaccine mandates should be a thing, Well, then they
should actually talk to their patients about it with compassion

(17:57):
and understanding instead of the arrogance that you just heard
right there from that doctor, condescending and frustrated of anybody
that would ever question her as a quote doctor. You
heard it, and it's amazing that we're still even having
the conversation after what we witnessed during COVID. I want
to talk to you about my friends at Kirk Elliott

(18:19):
Precious Metals. Two days ago, I got my new order
of silver. Now I'm investing in silver right now because
the pricing on it is amazing and the upside well,
it's real. I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar.
It is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's
one hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought

(18:42):
it at the right price and I wasn't paying massive
up charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then
when you go to sell them, you take away all
of your earning potential. Why do they do it this
way at Kurt Elliott because they have transparent pricing up front.
It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy,

(19:02):
and here's what matters to you the most. Nothing when
you sell. There are no hidden fees ever with Kurt
Elliott Precious Metals. This is the reason why I recommend them.
It's not just about investing, it's about making sure you
get more for your money. And that is exactly why
Kurt Elliott helps people all the time. Whether it's gold

(19:25):
or silver, you can hold it, be a good steward
of it, you can pass it on to future generations,
and you can build wealth with it. It's real bullion,
never gimmicks, just investment grade gold and silver. No overpriced coins,
no flashy markups. And it's a company that I love
because they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure,

(19:48):
just honest care. They treat every client like family, offering
honest answers up front to help you make wise informed decisions. Now,
if you're seeking a partner when it comes to gold
and silver with an eternity mindset, visit k e PM

what God has given so you can experience real peace
now and for generations to come. K e pm dot

(20:36):
heat up. The headlines describe exactly what the game plan
is of those that were around Joe Biden and just
how massive the cover up actually is. Whether it's the
AP saying quote Joe Biden ad invokes fifth to decline
testimony and investigation, or the Guardian, Republican leading inquiry into
Biden's autopen use has digitally signed letters. Even the Daily

(21:00):
Beast James Comer announces new investigation into Biden over the
use of the autopen. Well, we now have new information
as James Comer sat down with Fox News Sunday, and
here is part of what he had to say about
the assessment that Biden staffords are deliberately refusing to answer

(21:20):
questions about the autopen use and providing extraordinary levels of obfuscation. Now,
James Comer seems to be really hammering in on the
facts and continuing to press the investigation into whether Biden
used an autopen to sign documents like pardons, raising major
concerns about who may have truly been in charge during

(21:41):
the final days, weeks, or months of the Joe Biden presidency.
Now in May of this year, Comer initiated a fresh probe.
He issued letters to key aids, including many of those
close to the president in non political roles, for example,
like Biden's physician, doctor Kevin o'can, and warning of subpoenas

(22:02):
if they don't cooperate. Fast forward to June of this year,
testimony from several raised major red flags, some admitting limited
direct interaction with Biden and no insight into the autopen
approval process, suggesting a total lack of transparency or oversight.
And then the Fifth Amendment invocations continued. On July sixteenth,

(22:28):
a former aid to First Lady Joe Biden invoked the
Fifth Amendment during his Oversight Committee appearance, becoming the second
such individual in the probe to do so. Comer responded
by stating that the public is concerned about unaccountable decision
making within the White House. In other words, who was
actually in charge. The bottom line is clear. Representative Coma

(22:51):
asserts he now has unprecedented evidence of a cover up
involving the autopen use and Biden's Kaig of decline. Now,
this is what he had to say on Fox Sunday Morning.
Take a listen.

Speaker 9 (23:06):
This week, the House Oversight Committee is set to continue
its investigation into Joe Biden's mental fitness during his presidency
when former White House Deputy Assistant Andrew Bates sits down
for an interview on Friday. Former White House Press Secretary Kareein,
Jean Pierre, and former White House Chief of Staff Jeff
Designs are also slated to appear before the committee in

(23:27):
coming weeks. Joining me now with more on his investigation
into former President Biden. In the chairman is the chairman
of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman James Comer. It's great
to have you with us this morning.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Welcome.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
I want to get the latest on the investigation, Congressman,
but also what we've heard so far, Key figures, taking
the fifth Key Figures that day after day said that
Biden was totally fit and ready to do the job.
Now saying they really didn't spend that much time with him.
The testimony doesn't add up with what we see. A

(24:00):
something is awry.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Here, Something's definitely awry.

Speaker 10 (24:04):
Look when you have Ian Sam's who was the face
of the White House response to the very damaging report
that said that Joe Biden was a forgetful old man.
He was the face of the White House response to
our investigation Byron Donalds and myself as well as all
the members of the House Oversycmvita when we found that

(24:26):
China had in fact wired money to LLC's owned by
Biden family members. He was the one that would always
respond and see he talked.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
To Joe Biden. Joe Biden was vibrant.

Speaker 10 (24:36):
Joe Biden did not do this, the famili sayes it
and then come to find out when we put him
under oath, he admits, well, I only saw Joe Biden
two times over a two year period.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
That's unprecedented.

Speaker 10 (24:47):
We're trying to get to the bottom of who was
operating the autopin and we've brought in a dozen people
so far, and they're all pointing the fingers at other people.
The ones that I think may have a little more.
They played the fifth to avoid self incrimination.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
So I think what.

Speaker 10 (25:03):
You're going to see is unless John Pierre and some
of these others come in and, you know, tell us more,
it's becoming very apparent that Joe Biden really wasn't the
one in command at the end of his presidency.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
And that's important because.

Speaker 10 (25:18):
You're talking about thousands of pardons and dozens of executive
orders that were signed with that autopen, and it appears
without President Biden's knowledge.

Speaker 9 (25:27):
Absolutely, I want to move to this ten FBI whistleblowers.
They warned of political weaponization, and they also say that
they faced retaliation from the Biden administration. We've been talking
about this weaponization as a theme. It touches so many
different aspects of what we've discussed just this morning alone.
But it also shows you that it's not just the

(25:48):
president who has faced this. It flows into all different
levels and to everyday people that are just trying to
serve and do their duties.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (25:59):
Well, look, the government is comprised of an overwhelming number
of liberals, an overwhelming number of activists. During the Obama
and Biden years, the government numbers swelled of liberal activists
that came in. Whether they worked for the EPA or
whether they worked for the Department of Justice or the FBI,
they had an agenda. They weren't necessarily public servants. The

(26:21):
ones that rose to the top were activists, and these
activists tried to weaponize the federal government in various forms,
whether to enact policy or whether to ruin the lives
of people or influence elections as we've seen. So now
we have people in place like Tulca Gabbert and John
Ratcliffe and Cash Ptael who are exposing this. Congress has exposed,

(26:42):
as the House Oversight Committee is exposed, to the Judiciary
Committee under Jim Jordan's exposed it. Now we need accountability,
and I'm hopeful that Pam Bondi will take this evidence
and her Department of Justice will start holding people account
And we're seeing President Trump be more active on true
social encouraging his own Department of Justice to hold people
accountable for wrongdoing.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
And I think it's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
And I think it's going to happen very clearly. James
Comer sharing unpressded details surrounding the by not open investigation
and also what the White House is doing to hold
people accountable as well. This is exactly what so many
Americans voted for and why I think there's many in
Washington right now, in the deep State that are very
concerned about what's happening now. By the way, Comer wasn't

(27:27):
done there. He also was asked this question, listen.

Speaker 9 (27:30):
Carefully, and the weaponization is really interesting because in some
ways it serves as a distraction. Look over here, so
you're not really focusing on what was over here. Many
Americans want to know went on with Special Counsel Jack
Smith going after the president. They want to know about
Jim Comey and John Brennan and Russiagate and where the
accountability is in those instances.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
I completely agree.

Speaker 10 (27:53):
As I travel Kentucky as well as all across America.
That's the biggest question I get from people. When are
people going to be held toc doutible for this wrongdoing?
The evidence that the investigations are complete, more and more
evidence that's surfacing.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
One of the limiting.

Speaker 10 (28:07):
Factors we had, whether it was Jim Jordan's Weaponization Subcommittee
or my House Oversight Committee, was the fact that the
Body administration wouldn't turn over documents. Now we've got Trump
administration officials like Cash Matel and like John Ratcliffe and
Tulsea Gabbard who are making public these documents. So I
think the case now for the Department of Justice, Trump's

(28:28):
Department of Justice, Pam Body's Department Justice is now there
to hold these people account when I think you're seeing
more hints from President Trump that the day of accountability
is near and hopefully this is going to set an
example for future people in the government never to let
this deep state rise again and to try to weaponize

(28:50):
the government to punish your enemies or to enact liberal
legislative agendas like the Green New Deal.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
On Tuesday, Sir, House members are going to meet with
Epstein victims. How is that going to play into how
the Department of Justice is handling this As Americans have
said they want to see the files.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
Right and I want to commend the Department Justice. Pambondi's
has started turning over those documents to the House oversighte
Committee is subpoena those documents. The Trump administration is cooperating
with us. We're bringing in the families and the attorneys
of the victims Tuesday afternoon to talk to the House
Oversight Committee. This will be Republicans and Democrats because we're

(29:33):
going to make this information public. That's what the American
people want. When we travel around all of our districts,
That's one of the things that people ask, when are
we going to see the Epstein files. But it's very
complicated because there are victims of the Epstein files, and
we want to listen to those victims and their families
and their attorneys to see how best can we present
this information. Do they want their names redacted? Do they

(29:55):
not want their names redacted? And that's one of the
things that President Trump's talked about, like this is a
lot more complicated than then. A lot of people want
to realize there are victims that are involved here, and
we want to protect their futures and their reputations and
their family So we're going to have a good conversation
to see how best then to turn around and present

(30:17):
this information to the American people and hopefully put this
issue to rest so Congress can focus on passing the
spending bill and working with President Trump to reduce crime
in our big cities.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Translation, it is a very big week in Washington, d C.
And James Comer helping lead the way on the House side.
Many Democrats on the Senate side are worried about the
Republicans there, and the media is obviously terrified what's happening
at the White House. At the DOJ and the FBI
don't forget share this podcast. Please with your family and
your friends wherever they are, and I will see you

(30:51):
back here tomorrow
