Speaker 1 (00:00):
So let's start with one big issue that has happened,
and it is about who is actually funding who is
behind the lawfare chaos in this country. Who is out
there buying our democracy is another way of putting it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
There is a new book out and the central premise
in Breaking the Law, a expose on weaponization of the
legal system against President Trump and his supporters, is now
exposing exactly who was buying up America's democracy. The funders
(00:40):
of the law fare and the superstructure that are waging
a political battle against maga on behalf of the institutional
left is being paid for by the left's radical multi
millionaires and billionaires. The law itself that has been disregarded
as they use the government to go after their political
(01:02):
enemies aka Donald J. Trump and any of his allies.
It is one hundred percent about politics and making sure
that radicals got elected, just like the Attorney general in
New York by the last name of James. And here's
the other thing that's very interesting about all of this.
(01:22):
They are putting their money together to make sure that
conservatives don't actually get power, and they want them to
be afraid of running. Lawfair is actually about two different
things one, getting rid of the threat you have now,
but it's also about the mental side of things, the
mind game, and the book explains this incredibly well. The
(01:44):
mind game, which is to make other conservatives afraid, terrified
to run for office, saying it's just not worth it.
That is a society of leftism chaos, and they want
to go after conservatives and use the court system to
ruin people's lives. That's when we call it lawfair and
(02:07):
we've witnessed it on a very very high level, going
after the President of the United States of America, right,
Donald Trump. Now, how is it happening? Well, thanks to
the dark money nonprofits, it's impossible to know exactly who
is funding every element of the lawfair apparatus against conservatives.
(02:30):
But we now have some more information because of this
new book, Breaking the Law by Alex Marlowe. He's a
best selling author and a man that you will know,
probably from Breitbart. The book is about exposing the weaponization
of America's legal system against Donald Trump. And it's a
book I'm telling you right now, go buy it now.
The Democratic mega donor Reed Hoffman, we now know, bankrolled
(02:55):
e Gene Carroll's defamation suit against President Donald Trump. So
let's just break that down. You've got a woman that
they went to and said, we'll bankroll you. We've got you,
and you have unlimited funds. I'm a mega donor, my
name is Reed Hoffman, and I'm gonna pay for everything
if you'll just help us take down Donald Trump. And
(03:16):
that was exactly what Egene Carol did. She didn't pay
for it, she basically was paid to do it. In essence,
I regard the case as a well farce, right, a
thoroughly documented farce, is what the book Breaking the Law says. Hoffman,
the mega donor, helped launch PayPal before co founding LinkedIn
(03:37):
in two thousand and two. He's literally worth billions of dollars.
He has also made big bucks from Facebook, big bucks
from Airbnb, and his venture capital firm called Greylock Partners.
Now he's funded a vast array of left wing political
activities ever since he got his cash. We also know
(03:59):
the Hey, it's Donald Trump's saying he would quote spend
as much as I possibly can and it takes to
beat him. And he has well funding a vast array
of left wing political causes through a shadowy dark money
nonprofit network is what the book now states. Now Caroll,
(04:19):
a columnist and comedy writer, was able to hire a
crack legal team, including Times Up Legal Defense Fund founder ROBERTA.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Kaplan.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Kaplan was funded by a nonprofit primarily backed by the
Democratic mega donor Read Hoffman. Yes, follow the money now.
While the saga played out in a one sided New
York City courtroom, Hoffman was making regular visits, we now know,
to Joe Biden's White House. Yes, so there's a very
(04:52):
good chance that Hoffman was taking his orders from the
White House on how to stop Donald Trump now. Hoffman,
known as the quote most connected man in Silicon Valley,
has been criticized for complying with Chinese censorship rules. For example,
while his businesses operated in the country all about profits,
not about actually standing up or doing the right thing
(05:14):
to the Chinese Communist Party. He has praised the Chinese
tech sector as well, and appears to be the only
American to regularly speak at China's World Internet Conferences, which
are designed to amplify Xijiping's vision for the digital age
and are closed to the press. Yet the radical donor
(05:35):
ried Hoffman, He's welcome and speaks naturally. He wanted Biden
to remain president and Trump to lose. That's why he
funded all of the top lawyers for this ridiculous lawsuit
against Donald Trump. He also promoted fake news on behalf
of Democrats, also financing a left wing online disinformation camp
(06:01):
targeting Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in twenty seventeen. Hoffman,
by the way, issued an apology for this after more
nearly lost his race, so the damage was done. It worked,
and he's like, oh, sorry, my bad. A whistleblowerclaimed by
the way in twenty twenty two that Hoffman's Orwellian name
(06:23):
named Good Information Foundation offered him money to attack Trump
Republicans online despite federal laws prohibiting such political behavior from
five oh one c three organizations.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But did it matter.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No, none of that bothered the powers that be in
Joe Biden's White House. Hoffman is on the board of
Microsoft as well, and was on the Pentagon's Defense and
Innovation Board throughout Biden's presidency, direct access to the White
House whenever he needed it. By the way, he also
(06:58):
admitted to visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island. But don't worry, the
media will never tell you.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That, right.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So, Hoffman runs a shop full of well rabid Trump haters.
His former top political advisor hated Donald Trump, push the
narrative that the assassination attempt in fact on President Trump
and Butler Pennsylvania July twenty twenty four was quote unquote staged.
He split with Hoffman days later to join the Anti
Trump Lincoln Project. Hoffman has backed the group Indivisible, a
(07:30):
well coordinated, well funded, and high powered network of leftist organizations.
Indivisible has claimed credit for both Trump's impeachments plural as
well as other assorted efforts to disqualify him from the
presidential ballot. This is just one of the radicals on
(07:53):
the left that are doing everything they can with their
money to try destroy this country and and to basically
fix elections by putting out lies and misinformation or trying
to lock up people that they don't like politically. Just
let all that set in, all right. I want to
take a moment talk about the economy. You've been seeing
(08:14):
what's happening on Wall Street, You've seen what's been happening
with interest rates, and you've probably seen gold prices hitting
all time record highs. Why because there is uncertainty all
over the world right now, and when there is uncertain times,
you want real answers about your financial stability. Well, at
Kurt Elliott Precious Medals you get more than gold and silver.

recommend them. Their mission is clear. They want to help

(08:56):
do at Kurt Elliot Precious Medals number one bullyon only approach.
They focus on investment grade metals, not overpriced quote collectibles
or gimmick products that cost you an insane amount of
money for what you're actually getting. What they do is
they sell you more metal for your money and fair
value when it's time for you to actually sell. They
(09:18):
also have upfront transparent pricing just eight percent when you
buy and zero commissions when you go to sell. There
are no hidden fees on top of that ever, that
is the reason why I recommend them. They also make
sure they give you personalized guidance for you. You're never

(10:25):
Kurt Elliott Precious Metals Smarter Metal Investing starts with them.
It is the traditional August recess. It's happening right now
in Washington, d C. Congress is back in their districts
in theory, tending to business of listening to the constituents.
That doesn't mean there isn't anything going on with the
House Auto Pen probe. In fact, it's uncovering a lot
(10:49):
about the Biden White House. Even as Congress is on
their traditional recess. The House Oversight Committee, I've been told today,
is still investigating the LEDs cover up a former pres
in Joe Biden's decline, the former president insisting he was
responsible for quote all decisions that came out of the
White House during his time in office, and former staff
(11:10):
members claim they saw no obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well,
the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer discussing the committee's
investigation to whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive
deterioration of the former president. Now, there's also been the
question of precedent. What is the autopen like in the past,
(11:32):
and can you compare how other government officials used the
autopen in contrast to how it was being used when
Joe Biden was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously
in the investigation. Well, former Speaker of the House new
Gingrich set down with my good friend Mark Levin, and
he was asked about the autopen when he was a
Speaker of the House signing legislation and how big of
(11:55):
a deal it was to use the auto pen. How
seriously was the autopen taken and how much was it
also protected from abuse.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I want you to hear what Newke Gingrich had to
say to Levin.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Luke Gingrich question, when you were Speaker of that House,
I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I
bet you took the requirement that a president actually be
present when a bill is signed very very seriously. I
know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when
certain bills are brought, they're brought in a special way,
they're handed to somebody specifically, there's a whole process set up.
(12:32):
Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're
raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed
these bills or if he was present when the bills
were signed.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, put it that way. Sure, Look, these people are corrupt, irresponsible,
and happy to exploit the nation for their own game.
So given those kind of people, who knows what they
might do? Oh, I think it does raises you have
brilliantly done in this show today. It raises a very
(13:03):
big question about whether or not these laws are in
fact laws. Remember the founding fathers understood that you had
to have a pretty strict series of rules or the
whole system breaks down into a kind of corruption which
undermines the rule of law. The rule of law requires rules,
and one of those rules is that the president signs
(13:26):
built Now he can direct an auto pen for things
that are ceremonial. Christmas cards, for example. But the president
ought to be signing these things. And when you learn
that Biden was signing thousands of commutations in the last
few days of his administration, you know, he didn't have
a clue what was going on. You know, we have
no idea what the deals were, why those people were
(13:48):
given commutations, or if in fact they were legal. So
I do think there's a profound question here, and probably
the Congress and President Trump should really right. So more
restrictive rules about what it takes to get a bill
to actually be a law.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, it's interesting New Camrich when I went back and
looked at Madisone's notes and looked at some of the
other essays and comments on that they spend a lot
of time on this. They spent a lot time on
this signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from
the sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And
back then it was this guy's the president. You know,
we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign
(14:28):
these laws. We in Congress, we're going to spend our
time doing all this and send it to him. We're
concerned that somebody might hijacket somebody might sign it. And
there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to be present.
I mean, let me ask you that is it really
asking a president too much to sign the damn bills
or to be present when the bills are signed. I mean,
(14:48):
if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that kind of
prove the point?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that.
After some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly
was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As
you walked us through. I mean, when you read the
amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's
very clear Biden clearly was incompetent. Sometime I can't say
(15:14):
any given date, but sometime in twenty three it should
have been obvious to every person who was dealing with
him that he was no longer competent to be president.
And I agree with you. Every one of these cabinet
officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and
they should frankly be stuck with etho. These are people
who willfully cheated the American people and allowed a phony
(15:38):
presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was the most important.
She became, in effect, the acting president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You listen to the claim there by new Gingridge, and
it's a very interesting one. He's saying that, in essence,
the first Lady was actually the President of the United
States of America, the de facto president. She was elected
by no one. And if that is true, then who
else was involved in this cover up or coup, depending
on how you want to describe it. There's also another
(16:08):
aspect of the story, and that is the Biden regime. Right,
they're out of office, but they're still tight. The Biden
crime family now is doing everything they can to change
the narrative, which brings us to the former President Joe Biden.
In a New York Times interview, Biden has now asserted
that he quote personally made every clemency and pardon decision,
(16:31):
even though an autopen was used to apply his signature
on many documents to the massive volume involved. Translation, I'm
giving you a really good story, an alibi to why
I wasn't signing it myself, the President said, quote I
made every single one of those.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
He elaborated that he's.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Set the categories and standards for pardons and commutations and
communicated with each decision to aids who execute the mechanics
of signature, you're writing via auto pen. Again, this is
what Joe Biden is saying to the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Biden also defended the practice as legal, end quote typical,
noting that many other presidents, including Trump, have used auto pins.
He emphasized it was simply a matter of handling quote
a whole lot of people. Responding to critics, Joe Biden
also called allegations of misuse politically motivated distractions, saying, quote
(17:26):
their liars, they've done so badly, they've lied so consistently,
the best thing they can do is focus on something else.
Biden also mentioned he issued preemptive pardons to his family
members to show them from what he expected would be
politically driven legal attacks, specifically from Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The only people that have gone after people politically and
attacks has been the Democratic Party who went after Donald Trump.
And that's exactly why they had to give these preempti
gardens out Now. Biden's remarks came amid ongoing congressional investigations
by both the House and the Senate Republicans. These inquiries
(18:11):
are well they're simple. They're examining whether the autopen was
used appropriately or whether Biden or his aides had sufficient
involvement in the decisions. His former White House physician, as
I talked about earlier on the show, Kevin O'Connor, invoked
the fit Amendment when called to testify. Now, the Trump
(18:32):
White House, via the pre Secretary Caroline Levitt, launched its
own investigation. Coordinating with the Justice Department. They reviewed tens
of thousands of documents from NARA and anticipate examining up
to a million more to determine whether Biden retained proper
control of the autopen or succeeded authority to staffers or
(18:54):
maybe his wife. Levitt harshly criticized Biden, calling him the worst,
most incompetent, and senile president, and suggesting that he relinquished
executive power to unelected aids or even family members.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Now, let me also just reminds.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You of what the President said in his own words
on the autopen scandal. He's been very clear that he
believes that Joe Biden was not running the country, that
Joe Biden didn't know what executive orders or even laws
may have been signed at the end of his administration
and certainly didn't know who was getting clemency or pardons
(19:32):
in his last days and hours in office. It's also
interesting that Joe Biden signed his own family's pardons personally,
using his signature, not the autopen, pointing to the fact
that he was so paranoid about the Biden crime family
being protected and covered, but for everyone else, it was
like he wasn't even at the will to even be asleep.
(19:56):
The autopen was being used by countless other individuals, and
who knows how much corruption there was around it. Here's
President Trump in his own words, I mean, you're talking.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
About the autopen. Look, the autopen, I think is maybe
one of the biggest scandals that we've had in fifty
to one hundred years. This is a tremendous scandal. And
I know the people on the other side of the
Oscia desk, a resolute desk. Unfortunately he used it before me.
But you know, we have our choice of seven desks.
(20:28):
They're all beautiful, but I chose the resolute and so
did he, unfortunately. But the people on the other side
of the resolute desk, I know them, Lisa, the whole group.
And then no Good's sick people, and I guarantee he
knew nothing about what he was sigyning. I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And that's exactly what this investigation is going to be
all about the present making it clear they're not backing
down and they are gone going to investigate it and
find out exactly who was running the country and that
person was clearly not elected by any Americans.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Now I asked for Congress while the House and the.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Senate doing their own investigations individually. There are going to
be a lot of people that are going to want
to answer questions, or maybe a lot of people that
don't want to answer questions, depending on what your role
was within the Biden regime. As for the former staffers,
you can expect more of them to take the fifth
and not say a word because they're afraid of incriminating
(21:35):
themselves and probably going to jail. Donald Trump promised all Americans,
no matter where you lived, even in a liberal city,
that he was going to do everything in his power
to keep you safe. He also said he was going
to crack down on drugs, cartels, naming them terrorists organizations,
and stopping the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border.
(21:58):
The President is making good on all of those promises,
and now there's a new one, and it's making liberals
lose their mind. The President invokes section seven forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, allowing him to
take over the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National
Guard under declaration of a public safety emergency. Democrats, of course,
(22:23):
are angry that the president of United States of America
may actually save lives, get drugs off the streets, and
restore law and order to our nation's capital. So what
are they doing. They're saying, this is what a dictator
and a tyrant would do. Yes, Democrats are so unhinged
now they're claiming that as the President's trying to save lives,
that he's somehow a dictator. Now, the scale of the
(22:45):
deployment will be up to eight hundred National Guard troops
and around five hundred federal law enforcement personnel, including over
one hundred FBI agents, plus members from the DEEA, the
atf ICE, and US Marshall. They're all being deployed to
patrol the streets in Washington, d C. Trump's justification very simple.
(23:07):
He described the city as descending into chaos, using words
like bloodshed to frame the intervention as a liberation day.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
He warned similar.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Federal actions could extend to other big cities, such as
New York and Los Angeles. Now, what is the crime
data show? It actually shows, thank goodness, that violent crime
across the country is coming down. Why because the president's
backing law enforcement and allowing them to do their job.
And we're also witnessing ice agents taking hardened criminals off
(23:38):
the streets that are in the country illegally. This is
exactly why the president is having such success. Now, local
responses are obviously different depending on if you're a Democrat
or Republican. Mayor Bowser condemned the move as quote unsettling
in DC and unprecedented, asserting the city doesn't meet legal
(23:59):
criteria claims for a federal emergency. Yes, she cares more
about playing politics than saving lives. She puts instead for
more judicial resources and staffing. Again, bureaucracy over policing. DC's
Attorney General is exploring legal options, they're saying as well,
and the DC City Council members called the move an
(24:20):
intrusion on local authority quote unquote, this is all politics
for them. Instead, of actually protecting Americans. I want you
to hear what the President had to say as he
announces to the White House in his own words.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Under the authorities vested in me as the President of
the United States, I'm officially invoking section seventy forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what
that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under
direct federal control. And you'll be meeting the people that
will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but
(24:53):
they're tough, and they know what's happening, and they've done
it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National are to
help re establish law order of public safety in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
They're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
That is the core point of what President Trump has
been saying over and over again when it comes to
law enforcement. Let law enforcement officers do their jobs the
right way. Now, how do we get to this point? Well,
the President also talked about the radicals in DC, for example,
having no cash bail and it's putting people's lives at risk.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
This dire public safety crisis stem is directly from the
abject failures of the city's local leadership. The radical left
city Council adopted no cash bail. By the way, every
place in the country where you have no cash bail
is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York,
and they don't change it. They don't want to change it.
(25:51):
That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians
started it. Bad leadership started it. But that was the
one thing that's central. No cash Somebody murders somebody and
they're out on no cash bail before the day is out.
We're going to end that in Chicago. We're going to
change the statute. I spoke with Pam and Todd and everybody.
(26:11):
We're going to change the statue. And I'm going to
have to get the Republicans to vote because the Democrats
are week on crime, totally weak.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
On crime, totally week on crime. The stats say he's
absolutely accurate, and the President United States of America saying,
this is our moment to shine, to take back our
nation's capital, and we're not going to allow Democrats to
hold us hostage any longer. Ag BONDI also saying this
about what's happening in DC.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Let me be crystal clear. Crime in DC is ending
and ending today. We are going to use every power
we have to fight criminals here. President, thank you for
caring about our capital. Families come here every summer. Our
museums are free. We have the National Zoo, we have
the National Gallery. DC should be a place where everyone
(27:00):
can come and feel safe.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's all about safety. That is the present's number one
priority for all Americans. And yet Democrats are doing everything
they can to try to stop the President from accomplishing
this goal. Donald Trump also saying this as well, about
what's happening in DC.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
And we getting rid of the slums too.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
We have slums here.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
We getting rid of them.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I know it's not politically correct, you'll say, oh, so terrible.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
No, we're getting rid of the slums where they live.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
We're getting rid of the slums.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You listen also to something else on this Liberation Day,
and that is again the President saying we're taking our
capital back. The man who's in charge of the Department
of Defense, Pete Headseth, went on Laura Ingrams Show, and
this is what he had to say about what the
President has ordered him to do.
Speaker 9 (27:52):
This capital belongs to all Americans, and starting now, we're
taking it back. And that's the angle. Secretary of Defense
Pete Hegsa was given the tall order of handling this
and he's here with me exclusively. Mister Secretary, thank you
for joining us tonight. So the President called this a
public safety emergency, and you said, we're going to start
seeing the National Guard this week, tell us more.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
This week and incoming weeks, and we're going to work
right alongside our law enforcement partners as force multipliers. This
is what the American people voted for, Laura. This is
what the common sense, clarity strength. I hadn't heard that
story from President Trump before the story he told about
his father that he told him, hey, son, if you
look at the front door of a restaurant and it's dirty,
then I bet the kitchen you can count on the
(28:36):
fact that the kitchen is too and sat there thinking
that's exactly right. If our capital city is a mess,
if we can't control our capital city, then what does
the rest of the country look like?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
And what signals does the rest of the country take
from that? So, just like we did in Los Angeles
alongside our federal law.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
We took a lot of criticism for four thousand troops,
seven hundred Marines.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
You know what we didn't get.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
There was no summer of love in twenty twenty There
was in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
There was a summer of law enforcement, and.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
We quelled the protests, if the attacks on ice officers.
We're going to help get DC under control by working
with local officials who have been federalized, with federal officials who.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Are coming in. The DC Guards proud to be a
part of it.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Other states will contribute this week, going into the weeks
to come. Whatever's needed, the DoD will provide to make
sure this is a safe city for those who live here,
for those that work here, and the Americans who want
to come visit here and love our capital city.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
The question of martial law keeps getting raised by the
left that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth they want to
impose martial law as authoritarians would.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
To that, you said to that, I say, look at
Los Angeles. They said the exact same thing.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Oh look, oh look four thousand troops California National Guard,
Oh look the Marines.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
You can't put in the Marines.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
They were the troops available to ensure that we de
escalated the situation and didn't allow other lawbreakers to say, look,
it's wide open, we can do whatever we want in
these sanctuary cities. I was told, Oh, you're going to
lock up political opponents, You're going to go after democrats, YadA, YadA.
It's the same stuff every time, mischaracterizing our intentions. The
intentions of this president is to establish law and order
(30:07):
using legal and lawful and constitutional means, which he completely.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Has and you know what, you know why they don't
like him. He's got the guts to do it.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
He's got the guts to say, I'm going to federalize
the police that are that don't work. I'm going to
bring in the National Guard, I'm going to bring in
federal marshals.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
I'm going to bring in the park police. What is
the cost money? Right, cost money? And the question is
are you there for a year? Are you there for
six months? And when the troops pull out? What happened?
Speaker 6 (30:36):
I would call this conditions based.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
I would say it's a situation where we're here to
support law enforcement, and the more we can free them
up to do their job the more effective they can be,
the more we can work. I mean, this isn't my realm,
but the justice system to make sure people who are
arrested are actually locked up. That's why the president's talking
about cash list, bear bail, and sanctuary cities.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
If you're illegal here in DC, that's going to be
a problem.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
So all of these things that apply to law and
order our front and center for us.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
And I don't know, weeks, months, what will it take.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
That's the president's call, but we're going to be there
for him to execute as swiftly as possible.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Then as swiftly as possible. This is what you voted for,
and the presence delivering on that promise of having safer cities,
safer streets, safer capital, and making sure we are protecting
everyone in this country, regardless of who you voted for.
Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and
(31:29):
your friends wherever they are, and I will see you
back here tomorrow
So let's start with one big issue that has happened,
and it is about who is actually funding who is
behind the lawfare chaos in this country. Who is out
there buying our democracy is another way of putting it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
There is a new book out and the central premise
in Breaking the Law, a expose on weaponization of the
legal system against President Trump and his supporters, is now
exposing exactly who was buying up America's democracy. The funders
(00:40):
of the law fare and the superstructure that are waging
a political battle against maga on behalf of the institutional
left is being paid for by the left's radical multi
millionaires and billionaires. The law itself that has been disregarded
as they use the government to go after their political
(01:02):
enemies aka Donald J. Trump and any of his allies.
It is one hundred percent about politics and making sure
that radicals got elected, just like the Attorney general in
New York by the last name of James. And here's
the other thing that's very interesting about all of this.
(01:22):
They are putting their money together to make sure that
conservatives don't actually get power, and they want them to
be afraid of running. Lawfair is actually about two different
things one, getting rid of the threat you have now,
but it's also about the mental side of things, the
mind game, and the book explains this incredibly well. The
(01:44):
mind game, which is to make other conservatives afraid, terrified
to run for office, saying it's just not worth it.
That is a society of leftism chaos, and they want
to go after conservatives and use the court system to
ruin people's lives. That's when we call it lawfair and
(02:07):
we've witnessed it on a very very high level, going
after the President of the United States of America, right,
Donald Trump. Now, how is it happening? Well, thanks to
the dark money nonprofits, it's impossible to know exactly who
is funding every element of the lawfair apparatus against conservatives.
(02:30):
But we now have some more information because of this
new book, Breaking the Law by Alex Marlowe. He's a
best selling author and a man that you will know,
probably from Breitbart. The book is about exposing the weaponization
of America's legal system against Donald Trump. And it's a
book I'm telling you right now, go buy it now.
The Democratic mega donor Reed Hoffman, we now know, bankrolled
(02:55):
e Gene Carroll's defamation suit against President Donald Trump. So
let's just break that down. You've got a woman that
they went to and said, we'll bankroll you. We've got you,
and you have unlimited funds. I'm a mega donor, my
name is Reed Hoffman, and I'm gonna pay for everything
if you'll just help us take down Donald Trump. And
(03:16):
that was exactly what Egene Carol did. She didn't pay
for it, she basically was paid to do it. In essence,
I regard the case as a well farce, right, a
thoroughly documented farce, is what the book Breaking the Law says. Hoffman,
the mega donor, helped launch PayPal before co founding LinkedIn
(03:37):
in two thousand and two. He's literally worth billions of dollars.
He has also made big bucks from Facebook, big bucks
from Airbnb, and his venture capital firm called Greylock Partners.
Now he's funded a vast array of left wing political
activities ever since he got his cash. We also know
(03:59):
the Hey, it's Donald Trump's saying he would quote spend
as much as I possibly can and it takes to
beat him. And he has well funding a vast array
of left wing political causes through a shadowy dark money
nonprofit network is what the book now states. Now Caroll,
(04:19):
a columnist and comedy writer, was able to hire a
crack legal team, including Times Up Legal Defense Fund founder ROBERTA.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Kaplan.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Kaplan was funded by a nonprofit primarily backed by the
Democratic mega donor Read Hoffman. Yes, follow the money now.
While the saga played out in a one sided New
York City courtroom, Hoffman was making regular visits, we now know,
to Joe Biden's White House. Yes, so there's a very
(04:52):
good chance that Hoffman was taking his orders from the
White House on how to stop Donald Trump now. Hoffman,
known as the quote most connected man in Silicon Valley,
has been criticized for complying with Chinese censorship rules. For example,
while his businesses operated in the country all about profits,
not about actually standing up or doing the right thing
(05:14):
to the Chinese Communist Party. He has praised the Chinese
tech sector as well, and appears to be the only
American to regularly speak at China's World Internet Conferences, which
are designed to amplify Xijiping's vision for the digital age
and are closed to the press. Yet the radical donor
(05:35):
ried Hoffman, He's welcome and speaks naturally. He wanted Biden
to remain president and Trump to lose. That's why he
funded all of the top lawyers for this ridiculous lawsuit
against Donald Trump. He also promoted fake news on behalf
of Democrats, also financing a left wing online disinformation camp
(06:01):
targeting Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in twenty seventeen. Hoffman,
by the way, issued an apology for this after more
nearly lost his race, so the damage was done. It worked,
and he's like, oh, sorry, my bad. A whistleblowerclaimed by
the way in twenty twenty two that Hoffman's Orwellian name
(06:23):
named Good Information Foundation offered him money to attack Trump
Republicans online despite federal laws prohibiting such political behavior from
five oh one c three organizations.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But did it matter.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No, none of that bothered the powers that be in
Joe Biden's White House. Hoffman is on the board of
Microsoft as well, and was on the Pentagon's Defense and
Innovation Board throughout Biden's presidency, direct access to the White
House whenever he needed it. By the way, he also
(06:58):
admitted to visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island. But don't worry, the
media will never tell you.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That, right.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So, Hoffman runs a shop full of well rabid Trump haters.
His former top political advisor hated Donald Trump, push the
narrative that the assassination attempt in fact on President Trump
and Butler Pennsylvania July twenty twenty four was quote unquote staged.
He split with Hoffman days later to join the Anti
Trump Lincoln Project. Hoffman has backed the group Indivisible, a
(07:30):
well coordinated, well funded, and high powered network of leftist organizations.
Indivisible has claimed credit for both Trump's impeachments plural as
well as other assorted efforts to disqualify him from the
presidential ballot. This is just one of the radicals on
(07:53):
the left that are doing everything they can with their
money to try destroy this country and and to basically
fix elections by putting out lies and misinformation or trying
to lock up people that they don't like politically. Just
let all that set in, all right. I want to
take a moment talk about the economy. You've been seeing
(08:14):
what's happening on Wall Street, You've seen what's been happening
with interest rates, and you've probably seen gold prices hitting
all time record highs. Why because there is uncertainty all
over the world right now, and when there is uncertain times,
you want real answers about your financial stability. Well, at
Kurt Elliott Precious Medals you get more than gold and silver.

recommend them. Their mission is clear. They want to help

(08:56):
do at Kurt Elliot Precious Medals number one bullyon only approach.
They focus on investment grade metals, not overpriced quote collectibles
or gimmick products that cost you an insane amount of
money for what you're actually getting. What they do is
they sell you more metal for your money and fair
value when it's time for you to actually sell. They
(09:18):
also have upfront transparent pricing just eight percent when you
buy and zero commissions when you go to sell. There
are no hidden fees on top of that ever, that
is the reason why I recommend them. They also make
sure they give you personalized guidance for you. You're never

make sure that you are in control. So if you're

(10:25):
Kurt Elliott Precious Metals Smarter Metal Investing starts with them.
It is the traditional August recess. It's happening right now
in Washington, d C. Congress is back in their districts
in theory, tending to business of listening to the constituents.
That doesn't mean there isn't anything going on with the
House Auto Pen probe. In fact, it's uncovering a lot
(10:49):
about the Biden White House. Even as Congress is on
their traditional recess. The House Oversight Committee, I've been told today,
is still investigating the LEDs cover up a former pres
in Joe Biden's decline, the former president insisting he was
responsible for quote all decisions that came out of the
White House during his time in office, and former staff
(11:10):
members claim they saw no obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well,
the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer discussing the committee's
investigation to whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive
deterioration of the former president. Now, there's also been the
question of precedent. What is the autopen like in the past,
(11:32):
and can you compare how other government officials used the
autopen in contrast to how it was being used when
Joe Biden was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously
in the investigation. Well, former Speaker of the House new
Gingrich set down with my good friend Mark Levin, and
he was asked about the autopen when he was a
Speaker of the House signing legislation and how big of
(11:55):
a deal it was to use the auto pen. How
seriously was the autopen taken and how much was it
also protected from abuse.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I want you to hear what Newke Gingrich had to
say to Levin.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Luke Gingrich question, when you were Speaker of that House,
I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I
bet you took the requirement that a president actually be
present when a bill is signed very very seriously. I
know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when
certain bills are brought, they're brought in a special way,
they're handed to somebody specifically, there's a whole process set up.
(12:32):
Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're
raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed
these bills or if he was present when the bills
were signed.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Well, put it that way. Sure, Look, these people are corrupt, irresponsible,
and happy to exploit the nation for their own game.
So given those kind of people, who knows what they
might do? Oh, I think it does raises you have
brilliantly done in this show today. It raises a very
(13:03):
big question about whether or not these laws are in
fact laws. Remember the founding fathers understood that you had
to have a pretty strict series of rules or the
whole system breaks down into a kind of corruption which
undermines the rule of law. The rule of law requires rules,
and one of those rules is that the president signs
(13:26):
built Now he can direct an auto pen for things
that are ceremonial. Christmas cards, for example. But the president
ought to be signing these things. And when you learn
that Biden was signing thousands of commutations in the last
few days of his administration, you know, he didn't have
a clue what was going on. You know, we have
no idea what the deals were, why those people were
(13:48):
given commutations, or if in fact they were legal. So
I do think there's a profound question here, and probably
the Congress and President Trump should really right. So more
restrictive rules about what it takes to get a bill
to actually be a law.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, it's interesting New Camrich when I went back and
looked at Madisone's notes and looked at some of the
other essays and comments on that they spend a lot
of time on this. They spent a lot time on
this signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from
the sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And
back then it was this guy's the president. You know,
we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign
(14:28):
these laws. We in Congress, we're going to spend our
time doing all this and send it to him. We're
concerned that somebody might hijacket somebody might sign it. And
there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to be present.
I mean, let me ask you that is it really
asking a president too much to sign the damn bills
or to be present when the bills are signed. I mean,
(14:48):
if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that kind of
prove the point?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that.
After some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly
was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As
you walked us through. I mean, when you read the
amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's
very clear Biden clearly was incompetent. Sometime I can't say
(15:14):
any given date, but sometime in twenty three it should
have been obvious to every person who was dealing with
him that he was no longer competent to be president.
And I agree with you. Every one of these cabinet
officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and
they should frankly be stuck with etho. These are people
who willfully cheated the American people and allowed a phony
(15:38):
presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was the most important.
She became, in effect, the acting president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You listen to the claim there by new Gingridge, and
it's a very interesting one. He's saying that, in essence,
the first Lady was actually the President of the United
States of America, the de facto president. She was elected
by no one. And if that is true, then who
else was involved in this cover up or coup, depending
on how you want to describe it. There's also another
(16:08):
aspect of the story, and that is the Biden regime. Right,
they're out of office, but they're still tight. The Biden
crime family now is doing everything they can to change
the narrative, which brings us to the former President Joe Biden.
In a New York Times interview, Biden has now asserted
that he quote personally made every clemency and pardon decision,
(16:31):
even though an autopen was used to apply his signature
on many documents to the massive volume involved. Translation, I'm
giving you a really good story, an alibi to why
I wasn't signing it myself, the President said, quote I
made every single one of those.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
He elaborated that he's.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Set the categories and standards for pardons and commutations and
communicated with each decision to aids who execute the mechanics
of signature, you're writing via auto pen. Again, this is
what Joe Biden is saying to the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Biden also defended the practice as legal, end quote typical,
noting that many other presidents, including Trump, have used auto pins.
He emphasized it was simply a matter of handling quote
a whole lot of people. Responding to critics, Joe Biden
also called allegations of misuse politically motivated distractions, saying, quote
(17:26):
their liars, they've done so badly, they've lied so consistently,
the best thing they can do is focus on something else.
Biden also mentioned he issued preemptive pardons to his family
members to show them from what he expected would be
politically driven legal attacks, specifically from Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The only people that have gone after people politically and
attacks has been the Democratic Party who went after Donald Trump.
And that's exactly why they had to give these preempti
gardens out Now. Biden's remarks came amid ongoing congressional investigations
by both the House and the Senate Republicans. These inquiries
(18:11):
are well they're simple. They're examining whether the autopen was
used appropriately or whether Biden or his aides had sufficient
involvement in the decisions. His former White House physician, as
I talked about earlier on the show, Kevin O'Connor, invoked
the fit Amendment when called to testify. Now, the Trump
(18:32):
White House, via the pre Secretary Caroline Levitt, launched its
own investigation. Coordinating with the Justice Department. They reviewed tens
of thousands of documents from NARA and anticipate examining up
to a million more to determine whether Biden retained proper
control of the autopen or succeeded authority to staffers or
(18:54):
maybe his wife. Levitt harshly criticized Biden, calling him the worst,
most incompetent, and senile president, and suggesting that he relinquished
executive power to unelected aids or even family members.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Now, let me also just reminds.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You of what the President said in his own words
on the autopen scandal. He's been very clear that he
believes that Joe Biden was not running the country, that
Joe Biden didn't know what executive orders or even laws
may have been signed at the end of his administration
and certainly didn't know who was getting clemency or pardons
(19:32):
in his last days and hours in office. It's also
interesting that Joe Biden signed his own family's pardons personally,
using his signature, not the autopen, pointing to the fact
that he was so paranoid about the Biden crime family
being protected and covered, but for everyone else, it was
like he wasn't even at the will to even be asleep.
(19:56):
The autopen was being used by countless other individuals, and
who knows how much corruption there was around it. Here's
President Trump in his own words, I mean, you're talking.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
About the autopen. Look, the autopen, I think is maybe
one of the biggest scandals that we've had in fifty
to one hundred years. This is a tremendous scandal. And
I know the people on the other side of the
Oscia desk, a resolute desk. Unfortunately he used it before me.
But you know, we have our choice of seven desks.
(20:28):
They're all beautiful, but I chose the resolute and so
did he, unfortunately. But the people on the other side
of the resolute desk, I know them, Lisa, the whole group.
And then no Good's sick people, and I guarantee he
knew nothing about what he was sigyning. I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And that's exactly what this investigation is going to be
all about the present making it clear they're not backing
down and they are gone going to investigate it and
find out exactly who was running the country and that
person was clearly not elected by any Americans.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Now I asked for Congress while the House and the.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Senate doing their own investigations individually. There are going to
be a lot of people that are going to want
to answer questions, or maybe a lot of people that
don't want to answer questions, depending on what your role
was within the Biden regime. As for the former staffers,
you can expect more of them to take the fifth
and not say a word because they're afraid of incriminating
(21:35):
themselves and probably going to jail. Donald Trump promised all Americans,
no matter where you lived, even in a liberal city,
that he was going to do everything in his power
to keep you safe. He also said he was going
to crack down on drugs, cartels, naming them terrorists organizations,
and stopping the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border.
(21:58):
The President is making good on all of those promises,
and now there's a new one, and it's making liberals
lose their mind. The President invokes section seven forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, allowing him to
take over the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National
Guard under declaration of a public safety emergency. Democrats, of course,
(22:23):
are angry that the president of United States of America
may actually save lives, get drugs off the streets, and
restore law and order to our nation's capital. So what
are they doing. They're saying, this is what a dictator
and a tyrant would do. Yes, Democrats are so unhinged
now they're claiming that as the President's trying to save lives,
that he's somehow a dictator. Now, the scale of the
(22:45):
deployment will be up to eight hundred National Guard troops
and around five hundred federal law enforcement personnel, including over
one hundred FBI agents, plus members from the DEEA, the
atf ICE, and US Marshall. They're all being deployed to
patrol the streets in Washington, d C. Trump's justification very simple.
(23:07):
He described the city as descending into chaos, using words
like bloodshed to frame the intervention as a liberation day.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
He warned similar.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Federal actions could extend to other big cities, such as
New York and Los Angeles. Now, what is the crime
data show? It actually shows, thank goodness, that violent crime
across the country is coming down. Why because the president's
backing law enforcement and allowing them to do their job.
And we're also witnessing ice agents taking hardened criminals off
(23:38):
the streets that are in the country illegally. This is
exactly why the president is having such success. Now, local
responses are obviously different depending on if you're a Democrat
or Republican. Mayor Bowser condemned the move as quote unsettling
in DC and unprecedented, asserting the city doesn't meet legal
(23:59):
criteria claims for a federal emergency. Yes, she cares more
about playing politics than saving lives. She puts instead for
more judicial resources and staffing. Again, bureaucracy over policing. DC's
Attorney General is exploring legal options, they're saying as well,
and the DC City Council members called the move an
(24:20):
intrusion on local authority quote unquote, this is all politics
for them. Instead, of actually protecting Americans. I want you
to hear what the President had to say as he
announces to the White House in his own words.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Under the authorities vested in me as the President of
the United States, I'm officially invoking section seventy forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what
that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under
direct federal control. And you'll be meeting the people that
will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but
(24:53):
they're tough, and they know what's happening, and they've done
it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National are to
help re establish law order of public safety in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
They're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
That is the core point of what President Trump has
been saying over and over again when it comes to
law enforcement. Let law enforcement officers do their jobs the
right way. Now, how do we get to this point? Well,
the President also talked about the radicals in DC, for example,
having no cash bail and it's putting people's lives at risk.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
This dire public safety crisis stem is directly from the
abject failures of the city's local leadership. The radical left
city Council adopted no cash bail. By the way, every
place in the country where you have no cash bail
is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York,
and they don't change it. They don't want to change it.
(25:51):
That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians
started it. Bad leadership started it. But that was the
one thing that's central. No cash Somebody murders somebody and
they're out on no cash bail before the day is out.
We're going to end that in Chicago. We're going to
change the statute. I spoke with Pam and Todd and everybody.
(26:11):
We're going to change the statue. And I'm going to
have to get the Republicans to vote because the Democrats
are week on crime, totally weak.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
On crime, totally week on crime. The stats say he's
absolutely accurate, and the President United States of America saying,
this is our moment to shine, to take back our
nation's capital, and we're not going to allow Democrats to
hold us hostage any longer. Ag BONDI also saying this
about what's happening in DC.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Let me be crystal clear. Crime in DC is ending
and ending today. We are going to use every power
we have to fight criminals here. President, thank you for
caring about our capital. Families come here every summer. Our
museums are free. We have the National Zoo, we have
the National Gallery. DC should be a place where everyone
(27:00):
can come and feel safe.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's all about safety. That is the present's number one
priority for all Americans. And yet Democrats are doing everything
they can to try to stop the President from accomplishing
this goal. Donald Trump also saying this as well, about
what's happening in DC.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
And we getting rid of the slums too.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
We have slums here.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
We getting rid of them.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I know it's not politically correct, you'll say, oh, so terrible.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
No, we're getting rid of the slums where they live.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
We're getting rid of the slums.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You listen also to something else on this Liberation Day,
and that is again the President saying we're taking our
capital back. The man who's in charge of the Department
of Defense, Pete Headseth, went on Laura Ingrams Show, and
this is what he had to say about what the
President has ordered him to do.
Speaker 9 (27:52):
This capital belongs to all Americans, and starting now, we're
taking it back. And that's the angle. Secretary of Defense
Pete Hegsa was given the tall order of handling this
and he's here with me exclusively. Mister Secretary, thank you
for joining us tonight. So the President called this a
public safety emergency, and you said, we're going to start
seeing the National Guard this week, tell us more.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
This week and incoming weeks, and we're going to work
right alongside our law enforcement partners as force multipliers. This
is what the American people voted for, Laura. This is
what the common sense, clarity strength. I hadn't heard that
story from President Trump before the story he told about
his father that he told him, hey, son, if you
look at the front door of a restaurant and it's dirty,
then I bet the kitchen you can count on the
(28:36):
fact that the kitchen is too and sat there thinking
that's exactly right. If our capital city is a mess,
if we can't control our capital city, then what does
the rest of the country look like?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
And what signals does the rest of the country take
from that? So, just like we did in Los Angeles
alongside our federal law.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
We took a lot of criticism for four thousand troops,
seven hundred Marines.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
You know what we didn't get.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
There was no summer of love in twenty twenty There
was in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
There was a summer of law enforcement, and.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
We quelled the protests, if the attacks on ice officers.
We're going to help get DC under control by working
with local officials who have been federalized, with federal officials who.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Are coming in. The DC Guards proud to be a
part of it.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Other states will contribute this week, going into the weeks
to come. Whatever's needed, the DoD will provide to make
sure this is a safe city for those who live here,
for those that work here, and the Americans who want
to come visit here and love our capital city.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
The question of martial law keeps getting raised by the
left that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth they want to
impose martial law as authoritarians would.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
To that, you said to that, I say, look at
Los Angeles. They said the exact same thing.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Oh look, oh look four thousand troops California National Guard,
Oh look the Marines.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
You can't put in the Marines.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
They were the troops available to ensure that we de
escalated the situation and didn't allow other lawbreakers to say, look,
it's wide open, we can do whatever we want in
these sanctuary cities. I was told, Oh, you're going to
lock up political opponents, You're going to go after democrats, YadA, YadA.
It's the same stuff every time, mischaracterizing our intentions. The
intentions of this president is to establish law and order
(30:07):
using legal and lawful and constitutional means, which he completely.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Has and you know what, you know why they don't
like him. He's got the guts to do it.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
He's got the guts to say, I'm going to federalize
the police that are that don't work. I'm going to
bring in the National Guard, I'm going to bring in
federal marshals.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
I'm going to bring in the park police. What is
the cost money? Right, cost money? And the question is
are you there for a year? Are you there for
six months? And when the troops pull out? What happened?
Speaker 6 (30:36):
I would call this conditions based.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
I would say it's a situation where we're here to
support law enforcement, and the more we can free them
up to do their job the more effective they can be,
the more we can work. I mean, this isn't my realm,
but the justice system to make sure people who are
arrested are actually locked up. That's why the president's talking
about cash list, bear bail, and sanctuary cities.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
If you're illegal here in DC, that's going to be
a problem.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
So all of these things that apply to law and
order our front and center for us.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
And I don't know, weeks, months, what will it take.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
That's the president's call, but we're going to be there
for him to execute as swiftly as possible.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Then as swiftly as possible. This is what you voted for,
and the presence delivering on that promise of having safer cities,
safer streets, safer capital, and making sure we are protecting
everyone in this country, regardless of who you voted for.
Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and
