Democratic Impeachment Strategy
The Democratic Party’s primary agenda is to impeach President Donald Trump and his cabinet members, this as an orchestrated effort or “designed coup.” Statements from Democratic representatives like Al Green and Shri Thanedar, who introduced impeachment articles against Trump and cabinet officials (e.g., Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.). These impeachment attempts lack legal basis and are politically motivated. -
Oil Tanker Seizure & Geopolitical Tensions
U.S. seizure of a large oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast, is a major enforcement of sanctions and a victory for “law and order.” The tanker, named Skipper (formerly Adissa), was allegedly transporting Venezuelan and Iranian oil in violation of U.S. sanctions. The operation involved multiple U.S. agencies and military assets. Reactions from Venezuela (calling it “piracy”), media coverage (CNN and Fox), and the broader implications for U.S.-Venezuela relations and global oil prices are referenced

Speaker 1 (00:01):
There is one strategy, and one strategy only for the
Democratic Party, and that is to impeach any Republican official
in Donald Trump's cabinet. They also want to impeach Donald Trump.
And if you want to know what's going to happen
in the midterms, if Democrats gain control of the House,
(00:22):
so the Senator God forbid both, it will be to
impeach everyone around the President of the United States of
America and then of course Donald Trump. Why am I
saying that, Well, let's go back to the Democratic playbook,
and I'm going to lay out for you this case,
and I really hope you're going to take this show
and you're going to share it all wherever you can
(00:43):
on social media.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I want to go back to when this kind.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Of started to clearly be what I would refer to
as a strategy, and you can see the strategy. You're like, Okay,
now I understand it. Now this makes sense. You had
Democratic Representative Al Green. He held a press conference on
November the twentieth, calling for Donald Trump's impeachment once again,
(01:09):
and I want you to hear what he said. Now
this is a condensed version. I'm not going to play
for you all of this guy's insanity. But what I
am going to play for you is the core point
that explains how this got started, because they're not just
focusing on Donald Trump. They're focusing on anyone that is
(01:29):
helping Donald Trump in his cabinet or administration. And they
also want to go after Supreme Court justices. I'll explain
that as well in a moment, but first we'll go
back to the beginning. And this is a orchestrated effort
by the Democrats. This is what I would describe as
a designed coup to overthrow the will of the voters
(01:50):
months after they voted for President Donald Trump and for
his agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm the challenge and controversy and for the remedy that
can make the difference and maintain the democracy. And that
remedy is impeachment. Impeachment. But that's not enough. That's not enough. Impeachment.
We must do Impeachment is the indictment, So he must
(02:22):
be indicted. Impeachment. But then there's a Senate, and the
Senate has the opportunity to try the case. It is
in the Senate that you get what conviction.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Conviction.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
This was laying the playbook for the Democrats, and also
what they're running on the midterms. They're not running on
the economy, which we'll deal with in a moment. They're
not running on border security for obvious reasons. They're not
running on national security issues. That's obvious. They're not running
on stopping wars, which the president has been doing.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's also obvious.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So what is the Democratic Party running on. They're running
on saying we want to impeach Donald Trump and everybody
else around it.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And let's go down that road.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You say, okay, hold on, Ben, you're saying that Democrats
want to impeach Donald Trump. I want you to show
proof of that. All right, we just gave you point
number one. But are they wanting to do this with others?
The answer is yes. Another congressman walked out and said,
(03:37):
I am announcing articles of impeachment against the Secretary of
War Pete Headseth. I want you to listen to this.
And again, this is about a month after al Green
came out, no less than a month. I just say
twenty days and actually listen that. Eleven twenty twenty five,
Algreen does this thing.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Twelve four. You have another congressman coming forward and here's
what he.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Said, and in just about an hour or so, Democratic
US Congressman Shri Tannadar will unveil his articles of impeachment
against Hegseth, the Michigan lawmaker, joining us now live ahead
of that rally to talk about his reasons behind wanting
Hegseth out of office. Congressman, thank you so much for
taking the time to join us here. I know you
(04:23):
have a busy day ahead of you.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Thank you thanks for having me, of.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Course, and first off, I did want to ask you
here if you can break down kind of the basis
here behind your idea to introduce these articles of impeachment
against Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Well, look, there are two issues. One is the signal gate.
He used a commercial app to talk about war plans
and he had he did not even know who is
on the signal chat. There was a editor reporter on
the signal chat. He was disclosing war plans, putting our
(05:01):
service members at risk. And this was totally unacceptable and
that is an impeachable offense.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
In my mind.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And of course we definitely appreciate you because you are
going to hold that rally here, and what would you say.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Is more important important.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Would it be the report on signal Gate or the
strikes in Venezuela or is it kind of a mix
of both.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
There, it's both, you know both. You know this Secretary
of Defense is incompetent. He's incompetent to do his job.
He is putting American truths in harm's way, in danger
because he has total disregard to the war plans and
the secrets and how he has disclosed classified information. At
(05:51):
the same time, we need to know what war laws
is he following when he attacked the survivors, the two
survivors on this boat that was destroyed by US military.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
What about legal constitutional background here? What are you using
as you do introduce these articles of impeachment? And then
on that same note, do you feel that you have
the support to essentially get this done or is it
more symbolic? I know a lot of questions there.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well, it needs to be done in both parties need
to come together look at it. Not there, you know,
Republicans need to look at this as a laws of
in broken. You know, the wartimes have been committed and
hexay the Secretary is refusing to show up. You know,
(06:45):
he did not show up for the investigation by the
the investigators about this signal gate. He did not submit
his phone, he did not show up in person. What
is the high what do they are hiding this secretary is?
This secretary is incompetent and this is the second major
(07:11):
of you know, a drawback, second major fault, and this
secretary must go.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So you notice he's not actually giving real reasons to
impeach him. He's saying in his mind, Pete Headseth has
done what he described, is saying he believes should be
an impeachable offense, even though it actually isn't.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There is no basis in the law for this.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
This is harassment. So let's go through. We have the
president first. Now you've got another Congress announcing articles impeachment
against Headseth, saying he's committed war crimes. And then we
see the newest story. House Democrats have filed impeachment articles
(07:54):
now against Robert F.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
They're saying he is quote, I'm not joking, turned his
back on science, so therefore he should be impeached. That,
by the way, is not an actually impeachable offense. Representative
Howie Stevens, Democrat from Michigan, who's running for Senate, filed
the article's impeachment on Wednesday against Health and Human Services Secretary,
(08:21):
saying yeah, he just turns back on science.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Today I formally introduced articles and impeachment against RFK JR.
RFK Junior has turned his back on science. To the
safety of the American people, Michigan Anders cannot take another
day of his chaos, the Michigan Democrat wrote in the statement.
Andrew Nixon, spokesman, by the way, for JH, just dismissed
the article's impeachment as a political stunt, employed, saying, quote
(08:45):
Secretary Kenny remains focused on the work of improving Americans
health and lowering costs, not on partisan political stunts. Stevens
is the second Democrat to recently move to impeach a
Trump cabinet official. You have the first when I just
played for you a moment ago, finding those articles in
impeachment against the War Secretary Pete Headseth, and then you
(09:06):
have now them saying well, Donald Trump's got to go
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So you look at what.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
We're witnessing, and I'm telling you right now on this
show as I'm here in Washington, d C. This is
what they have. Democrats have nothing to run on, they
don't have accomplishments to run on. So now what they're
saying is, we're just going to say over and over
again that this is impeachable, that this is impeachable, that
(09:33):
this is impeachable, and we're going to go after anyone
that is helping the president uns. It's America. You want
to know why it is so vitally important that you
vote in the midterm elections. If we lose, this is
what they are going to do, and if they have
(09:54):
the votes to do it, they will absolutely impeach Donald
Trump Ump and anyone else can get their hands on,
even if they haven't committed any crimes or broken any laws,
because this is the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Operation Overlord, the DDA Beaches.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You and I share a passion for history, so I

You'll have the option to receive a one time auto

this story under this is exactly what I've voted for
when I voted for President Donald Trump. The United States
(11:22):
has seized a large oil tanker off the coast of
Venezuela in a major escalation of tensions between Washington and Caracas.
Is how the mainstream media put it. In reality, this
is a huge victory for law and order. President Donald
Trump publicly announced the seizure at the White House, describing
(11:43):
the vessel as a very large tanker. Here's the President
in his own words, Well.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news.
As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on
the coastsa venezuela large tanker, very much largest one ever
seased actually, and other things are happening, So you'll be
(12:13):
seeing that later and you'll be talking about that later
with some other leeble.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
The president's grinn on his face at the White House
for this moment where he decided to talk to the
media for a second and tease them about exactly what
had happened. The largest ever sees oil tanker by US
forces truly is law and order. The operation was executed
by US authorities including the US Coast Guard, the FBI,
(12:39):
Homeland Security Investigations, Navy support assets, and these forces coordinated
the boarding of the tanker, even shown in a public
video that has been released. Now, let's talk about the
tanker itself. It is called the Skipper. It was formerly
known as Ida and flagged in Panama. The ship was
(13:00):
sanctioned by the United States for years because US officials
say it was involved in transporting illicit Venezuelan and potentially
Iranian oil in violation of US sanctions. He was reportedly
heading towards Cuba carrying Venezuelan crude oil. US authorities justified
the Caesar by saying the tanker was transporting oil in
(13:24):
violation of US sanctions and part of an illicit oil
shipping network that it supports sanctioned entities, including direct ties
to Iran. President Trump also stated publicly that the tanker
was seized for a very good reason. He didn't publicly
disclose full legal grounds or the ship's ownership in detail.
(13:44):
That will be coming in the days ahead. But what
we do know is Venezuela's reaction is exactly what you
would expect. The Venezuelan government, led by Nicholas Maduro strongly
condemned the actions, called the seizure theft an Act of
into National Piracy. Caracas says the move violates a sovereignty
and is driven by US interests in Venezuela's natural resources
(14:08):
and oil wealth. Venezuelas valid to raise the issue at
the International Quote Forums now. The seizure has heightened geopolitical
tensions between the US and Venezuela to a new level,
is how Reuters put it this evening. It contributed to
a rise in global oil prices because of concern about
disruptions to Venezuelan oil exports.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Which are in Bargo.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Admitting now in the world market that yes, these black
ships and this oil that is not supposed to be
sold is happening each and every day, which brings me
to part two of the story. As the Left is
trying to act like this is some shocking move, even
CNN security analysts says that America seizing an oil tanker
(14:57):
is quote absolutely normal. Yes, even on CNN they're saying
that this is normal and law and order.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Listen carefully, let's bring in CNN national security analysts Beth Sanner.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Be's.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
First of all, a lot of people don't understand the
basic idea of what's going on here. Nicholas Maduro, who
is in charge of Venezuela, President of Venezuela. He's there
because of fraud, like he should not be the leader
of Venezuela.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
He lost the election.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
He lost the election, and he kept power instead President
Trump is. My larger point is that President Trump is
It's not wild for people in the West to think
Madora is not there legitimately, and there has been this
pressure campaign from President Trump for him to step down.
Seizing an oil tanker, that's a much bigger deal and
a much bigger than these narco terrorist boats, as the
(15:51):
President calls them, people shooting them, seizing a tanker. How
could this escalate the conflict with Venezuela.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Well, you know, we've had sanctions on Venezuelan oil for
since the first Trump administration and then Biden kept them,
kept them, So to me, this is absolutely normal. I
mean seizing oil tank Yeah, we've been seizing Iranian oil
tankers in the past. We also, according to the law
(16:22):
that I've read, we can that oil is up for forfeiture,
so we could keep that. We've kept Iranian oil in
the past. So I actually think that this is less
controversial in terms of law and sanctions and what has
been you know, disputed or not disputed. Like I think
(16:43):
this is actually a pretty you know, check the box case. Now,
you know, what will this mean in terms of escalation?
Speaker 9 (16:51):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (16:51):
You know, what is he going to do? What is
Madeiro gonna do? Is he gonna step aside because we're
sanctioning this oil? I mean, you know, we we pick
up this oil tanker, it's one oil tanker.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Probably not, and it's unlikely that he would.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You listen to CNN and the analyst there, I love
how Jake Tapper acts like he's shocked when she says,
America sees his oil tankers, and we've done this in
the past. It's absolutely normal. But they're trying to act
like this is some shocking move. By the way, the
President of United States of America made it clear this
was going to be something they were going to do,
(17:26):
which comes down to the video that has come out
showing just how powerful the United States military can be
and law enforcement can be when they decide to act
and are able to do their job because of a
president of the United States of America that's willing to
allow them to do their job. Here's how Fox News
(17:46):
described the taking of that oil tanker.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Traumatic new video as the US sees is an oil
tanker off of the Venezuelan coast. President Trump did not
say why, but he did say, quote, other things are happening.
The administration has been striking alleged Narco terrorist vessels near
Venezuela and is putting heavy pressure on disputed President Nicholas Maduro.
Senior foreign policy correspondent Jillian Turner starts us off tonight
(18:12):
from the State Department.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
Even Jillian good evening to you bat President Trump confirms
the United States military has seized this crude oil tanker
off the coast of Venezuela. After insisting for months now
that the US is in fact at war with drug
cartels that are running these boats in the US southcom region.
We've obtained this video that the Attorney General Pambondi posted
(18:34):
on social media just a moment ago. You can see
here during this seizure. She says, the FBI, the Homeland
Security Departments, and Coast Guard executed this operation with support
from the War Department. You can see here US service
members landing a military helicopter on this vessel before then
disembarking and entering. The US had issued a warrant we
(18:56):
are learning for this crude oil tanker, alleging it had
been used to transport illegal oil from Venezuela and Iran
in support of foreign terrorist organizations. The cazuar comes after
senior officials presented the President with potential war plans and
then deployed major navy assets to the region. While the
President himself declined to state a reason for today's seizure,
(19:17):
which could very well constitute an act of war, he
did say this, could we see American troops on the
ground in Venezuela.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I don't comment.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I wouldn't say that one way or the other.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
In this case, President Trump says, the victor will in
fact take the spoils.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
When you have to follow the tanker, you know, hear
a good Desmond.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
He just followed the tanker.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
A helicopter followed the tanker.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
I assume we're going to keep the The US military
strikes on these alleged drug boats in the region have
so far killed at least eighty seven people, a death
toll that's become increasingly the focus of scrutiny on Capitol Hill,
where lawmakers have zero to a in on this so
called double tap strike that was carried out on September second.
Now yesterday, the Secretaries of State and War briefed key
(20:09):
lawmakers on Capitol Hill about these September second boat strikes.
They indicated reportedly that they are at least considering the
option to release the full unedited video footage of those strikes.
That day, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer told reporters after the
briefing that Secretary Hegsat said to him they need to
(20:30):
study these tapes before they make a determination.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Brett Jillian Turner up the State Department, Jillian, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So there it is a present standing up for this country,
holding these narco terraces accountable, seizing the oil and the
tankers that are being used to prop up a regime
that is coming after America, and also working with Iran.
And what's the point of having I would say to
those on the left sanctions if you don't actually enforce them.
(21:02):
These sanctions, by the way, have been around in Democrats administrations,
including Biden, including Barack Obamas. But if you don't enforce
the sanctions on these countries, they're meaningless. So really, what
the President's doing is something pretty simple. He's saying, we
have sanctions, we are going to take them seriously, we
(21:23):
are going to enforce them, and we're going to make
them pay a major price. And all of this is
to make sure that we keep this country safe from
these narco terras that have been flooding this country. Venezuela
is a great example, with drugs and fetnyl that is
killing tens of thousands of Americans. Well done, President Trump.
(21:47):
The White House making it very clear that we have
a real problem with immigration from third world countries, and
is it adding to the United States of America, or
is it actually putting you and many other lives at risk.
That is part of the question that we must be asking,
and for far too long. If you ask that question,
(22:08):
people immediately say things like your racist, or you're a bigot,
or that's not what America is about. But the data
is showing that we do have a crisis in this country,
and so how do we deal with it? Steven Miller
talking about this from the White House on Fox News
Channel and clearly telegraphing what may be coming from the
White House. Listen carefully of the words he chooses.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
So one last question, Stephen. I think you and I
could have and should have this conversation have much longer.
Skill This is something that is incredibly important and worthy
of a half hour together. But such as the nature
of television as it is right now, I'm working on that,
but this will be quickly my last question for you.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
What can we do?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Stephen?
Speaker 11 (22:47):
You know this was something America addressed in the nineteen twenties.
They had these debates, they had these conversations openly, and
they chose in the nineteen twenties to say we are
going to put strict quotas on people coming from different
parts of the world. Sixty five did away with what
we did in the twenties. So do we need something
like the nineteen twenty four Act.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Clearly we need to have in this country exactly what
President Trump called for, which is that we need a
moratorium on immigration from third world countries until we can
heal ourselves as a nation, solve our education issues, solve
our healthcare issues, our public safety issues, our assimilation issues,
are cultural issues. So the nineteen twenty four Act is
(23:28):
such a good example because so we had large immigration
from Europe from eighteen eighty to nineteen twenty. So, in
other words, we went from a country that had immigration
from part of Europe to immigration from many other parts
of Europe.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
But even other European.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Countries post enormous stresses on the US system, both economically
and in terms of security.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
There's a lot of crime, a lot.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
Of threats of public safety and order, and those who
are addressed with very strict immigration quotas. What they don't
teach you in school is that from nineteen twenty to
nineteen seventy there was negative migration. There was a half
century of negative migration. The foreign born population declined by
forty percent for half a century. During that same time period,
(24:08):
will the US population doubled from natural childbirth.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That was the cauldron in.
Speaker 12 (24:14):
Which a unified, shared national identity was formed. They went
through a depression together, they went through world wars together,
They landed on the moon together. This great period of
American history happened at a time when there was negative migration.
They don't teach that to our kids in school, and frankly,
I would submit very few politicians serving in Congress probably
know that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Will very few politicians in Washington serving know that as well.
Going back to talking about the nineteen twenty four Act
is a good example. As he described it, he wasn't
done there by the way. Stephen Miller also talking about
Somalia specifically. Now again, if you talk about Somalia and saying, hey,
(24:57):
maybe we need to cut back or we need to
look at what we've done here in this country and
how many people are letting in from Somalia, you will
immediately be called a bigot and or a racist for
even trying to have the conversation. I want you to
hear what Stephen had to say about what we're finding
out about what may be one of the biggest frauds
we've ever seen with a number of people coming into
(25:18):
this country from Somalia.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Listen, I can have as long as I'm willing to
work for. That's the American drill.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
My next guest has been a driving force behind President
Trump's immigration policies. He is White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
For Policy, Steven Miller.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Stephen, great to see you.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
You know, the interesting thing about hearing from a guy
like Geene Simmons right there and what he had to say,
when you do talk to someone who is either the
child or the direct legal immigrants United States, they often
share that type of love of America, wherein when we
look at in a legal population, you don't often hear
that same type of patriotism.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
Well, first of all, thank you for having this conversation.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Will.
Speaker 12 (25:56):
I think there's been an incredible lack of honest, truthful
candidate conversation in American media for a very long time
about immigration policy.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
And you're right, of course that immigrants.
Speaker 12 (26:07):
Who come here legally engage in an act of spite
against America from the moment they crossed that border and
then continue to break our laws and flat our system
and defy our rules every single day they're here and
continue to plunder and pillage off the system, and of
course their children as a result of so called birthrights citizenship,
which is the greatest scam in history, get unlimited welfare
(26:28):
for life that goes to the benefit of legal alien parents.
But I want to address your monologue specifically about the
nineteen sixty five Immigration Act and what that means in
American history. So, during the Civil rights era, and this
is the simple so way I can put it, there
was a thought, in effect. You can go back and
you can read the transcripts of the debate at the
time of applying civil rights to immigration policy for the
(26:52):
globe and to create a civil right for people from
every part of the world to come to America in.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Every growing numbers.
Speaker 12 (27:01):
And so a system that for years, as you mentioned,
had been tightly restricted, suddenly established this global ability of
people in every part of the world to come to America,
to bring their families to America, and then eventually empty
out their entire towns and their entire villages to the
United States of America. And so what you saw between
nineteen sixty five and today was the single largest experiment
(27:25):
on a society, on a civilization that had ever been
conducted in human history. Not just the seventy six million
immigrants that were brought in, largely from the Third World,
but their descendants too.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
So you see with a lot.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Of these immigrant groups, not only is the first generation
unsuccessful against Somaldia as a clear example here, not only
is the first generation unsuccessful, but you see persistent issues
in every subsequent generation. So you see consistent high rates
of welfare use, consistent high rates of criminal activity, consistent
failures to assimilate. But they shouldn't be a surprise, will
(28:00):
It's just common sense. If Somaldians cannot make Somalia successful,
why would we think that the track will be any
different in the United States? Go third world country by
third world country. No one's saying, look, there are people
all over the world that are great people, But you
look at the society. If Libya keeps failing, if the
(28:21):
Central African Republic keeps failing, if Somalia keeps failing, right,
if these societies all over the world continue to fail,
you have to ask yourself, if you bring those societies
into our country and then give them unlimited, free welfare
what do we think is gonna happen. You're going to
replicate the conditions that they left over and over and
(28:43):
over again, and we mask the impact of immigration every
public policy issue we discuss. We talk about test scores
will if you subtract immigration out of test scores, all
of a sudden, our test scores skyrocket. If you subtract
immigration out of healthcare, all of a sudden, we don't
have nearly the size of the healthcare challenges our country faces.
(29:05):
If you subtract immigration out of public safety, all of
a sudden, we don't have violent crime in so many
of our cities. Issue after issue, we talk about these
things that just they just happen to us. The schools
just suddenly fail by the crime just suddenly explodes, the
deficit just suddenly skyrockets. These are a result of social
policy choices that we made through immigration.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
You notice what he said, and if you listen to
how he said it, he said, Look, we need legal
immigration because illegal immigration is completely underminding.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
People are doing it the right way. That is important.
And number two, you have to look at the issue safety.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
That is a conversation that everyone that's in this country
deserves to have that conversation and why would we do
something there's hurting Americans that are in this country, including
immigrants who have come to this country on a multitude
of issues as basic as.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Housing and jobs.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
These are the conversations that need to be had because
all of this is coming as a former ICE official
has now blown the whistle saying Somali immigration to the
US marked the greatest refugee fraud crisis in modern times.
Don't forget to share this podcast, by the way, with
(30:19):
your family and your friends on social media wherever you
can hit that subscribe or auto download
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Button and I'll talk to you again tomorrow.
There is one strategy, and one strategy only for the
Democratic Party, and that is to impeach any Republican official
in Donald Trump's cabinet. They also want to impeach Donald Trump.
And if you want to know what's going to happen
in the midterms, if Democrats gain control of the House,
(00:22):
so the Senator God forbid both, it will be to
impeach everyone around the President of the United States of
America and then of course Donald Trump. Why am I
saying that, Well, let's go back to the Democratic playbook,
and I'm going to lay out for you this case,
and I really hope you're going to take this show
and you're going to share it all wherever you can
(00:43):
on social media.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I want to go back to when this kind.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Of started to clearly be what I would refer to
as a strategy, and you can see the strategy. You're like, Okay,
now I understand it. Now this makes sense. You had
Democratic Representative Al Green. He held a press conference on
November the twentieth, calling for Donald Trump's impeachment once again,
(01:09):
and I want you to hear what he said. Now
this is a condensed version. I'm not going to play
for you all of this guy's insanity. But what I
am going to play for you is the core point
that explains how this got started, because they're not just
focusing on Donald Trump. They're focusing on anyone that is
(01:29):
helping Donald Trump in his cabinet or administration. And they
also want to go after Supreme Court justices. I'll explain
that as well in a moment, but first we'll go
back to the beginning. And this is a orchestrated effort
by the Democrats. This is what I would describe as
a designed coup to overthrow the will of the voters
(01:50):
months after they voted for President Donald Trump and for
his agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm the challenge and controversy and for the remedy that
can make the difference and maintain the democracy. And that
remedy is impeachment. Impeachment. But that's not enough. That's not enough. Impeachment.
We must do Impeachment is the indictment, So he must
(02:22):
be indicted. Impeachment. But then there's a Senate, and the
Senate has the opportunity to try the case. It is
in the Senate that you get what conviction.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Conviction.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
This was laying the playbook for the Democrats, and also
what they're running on the midterms. They're not running on
the economy, which we'll deal with in a moment. They're
not running on border security for obvious reasons. They're not
running on national security issues. That's obvious. They're not running
on stopping wars, which the president has been doing.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's also obvious.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So what is the Democratic Party running on. They're running
on saying we want to impeach Donald Trump and everybody
else around it.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And let's go down that road.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You say, okay, hold on, Ben, you're saying that Democrats
want to impeach Donald Trump. I want you to show
proof of that. All right, we just gave you point
number one. But are they wanting to do this with others?
The answer is yes. Another congressman walked out and said,
(03:37):
I am announcing articles of impeachment against the Secretary of
War Pete Headseth. I want you to listen to this.
And again, this is about a month after al Green
came out, no less than a month. I just say
twenty days and actually listen that. Eleven twenty twenty five,
Algreen does this thing.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Twelve four. You have another congressman coming forward and here's
what he.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Said, and in just about an hour or so, Democratic
US Congressman Shri Tannadar will unveil his articles of impeachment
against Hegseth, the Michigan lawmaker, joining us now live ahead
of that rally to talk about his reasons behind wanting
Hegseth out of office. Congressman, thank you so much for
taking the time to join us here. I know you
(04:23):
have a busy day ahead of you.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Thank you thanks for having me, of.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Course, and first off, I did want to ask you
here if you can break down kind of the basis
here behind your idea to introduce these articles of impeachment
against Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Well, look, there are two issues. One is the signal gate.
He used a commercial app to talk about war plans
and he had he did not even know who is
on the signal chat. There was a editor reporter on
the signal chat. He was disclosing war plans, putting our
(05:01):
service members at risk. And this was totally unacceptable and
that is an impeachable offense.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
In my mind.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And of course we definitely appreciate you because you are
going to hold that rally here, and what would you say.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Is more important important.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Would it be the report on signal Gate or the
strikes in Venezuela or is it kind of a mix
of both.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
There, it's both, you know both. You know this Secretary
of Defense is incompetent. He's incompetent to do his job.
He is putting American truths in harm's way, in danger
because he has total disregard to the war plans and
the secrets and how he has disclosed classified information. At
(05:51):
the same time, we need to know what war laws
is he following when he attacked the survivors, the two
survivors on this boat that was destroyed by US military.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
What about legal constitutional background here? What are you using
as you do introduce these articles of impeachment? And then
on that same note, do you feel that you have
the support to essentially get this done or is it
more symbolic? I know a lot of questions there.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well, it needs to be done in both parties need
to come together look at it. Not there, you know,
Republicans need to look at this as a laws of
in broken. You know, the wartimes have been committed and
hexay the Secretary is refusing to show up. You know,
(06:45):
he did not show up for the investigation by the
the investigators about this signal gate. He did not submit
his phone, he did not show up in person. What
is the high what do they are hiding this secretary is?
This secretary is incompetent and this is the second major
(07:11):
of you know, a drawback, second major fault, and this
secretary must go.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So you notice he's not actually giving real reasons to
impeach him. He's saying in his mind, Pete Headseth has
done what he described, is saying he believes should be
an impeachable offense, even though it actually isn't.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There is no basis in the law for this.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
This is harassment. So let's go through. We have the
president first. Now you've got another Congress announcing articles impeachment
against Headseth, saying he's committed war crimes. And then we
see the newest story. House Democrats have filed impeachment articles
(07:54):
now against Robert F.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
They're saying he is quote, I'm not joking, turned his
back on science, so therefore he should be impeached. That,
by the way, is not an actually impeachable offense. Representative
Howie Stevens, Democrat from Michigan, who's running for Senate, filed
the article's impeachment on Wednesday against Health and Human Services Secretary,
(08:21):
saying yeah, he just turns back on science.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Today I formally introduced articles and impeachment against RFK JR.
RFK Junior has turned his back on science. To the
safety of the American people, Michigan Anders cannot take another
day of his chaos, the Michigan Democrat wrote in the statement.
Andrew Nixon, spokesman, by the way, for JH, just dismissed
the article's impeachment as a political stunt, employed, saying, quote
(08:45):
Secretary Kenny remains focused on the work of improving Americans
health and lowering costs, not on partisan political stunts. Stevens
is the second Democrat to recently move to impeach a
Trump cabinet official. You have the first when I just
played for you a moment ago, finding those articles in
impeachment against the War Secretary Pete Headseth, and then you
(09:06):
have now them saying well, Donald Trump's got to go
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So you look at what.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
We're witnessing, and I'm telling you right now on this
show as I'm here in Washington, d C. This is
what they have. Democrats have nothing to run on, they
don't have accomplishments to run on. So now what they're
saying is, we're just going to say over and over
again that this is impeachable, that this is impeachable, that
(09:33):
this is impeachable, and we're going to go after anyone
that is helping the president uns. It's America. You want
to know why it is so vitally important that you
vote in the midterm elections. If we lose, this is
what they are going to do, and if they have
(09:54):
the votes to do it, they will absolutely impeach Donald
Trump Ump and anyone else can get their hands on,
even if they haven't committed any crimes or broken any laws,
because this is the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Operation Overlord, the DDA Beaches.
Speaker 1 (10:14):

this story under this is exactly what I've voted for
when I voted for President Donald Trump. The United States
(11:22):
has seized a large oil tanker off the coast of
Venezuela in a major escalation of tensions between Washington and Caracas.
Is how the mainstream media put it. In reality, this
is a huge victory for law and order. President Donald
Trump publicly announced the seizure at the White House, describing
(11:43):
the vessel as a very large tanker. Here's the President
in his own words, Well.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news.
As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on
the coastsa venezuela large tanker, very much largest one ever
seased actually, and other things are happening, So you'll be
(12:13):
seeing that later and you'll be talking about that later
with some other leeble.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
The president's grinn on his face at the White House
for this moment where he decided to talk to the
media for a second and tease them about exactly what
had happened. The largest ever sees oil tanker by US
forces truly is law and order. The operation was executed
by US authorities including the US Coast Guard, the FBI,
(12:39):
Homeland Security Investigations, Navy support assets, and these forces coordinated
the boarding of the tanker, even shown in a public
video that has been released. Now, let's talk about the
tanker itself. It is called the Skipper. It was formerly
known as Ida and flagged in Panama. The ship was
(13:00):
sanctioned by the United States for years because US officials
say it was involved in transporting illicit Venezuelan and potentially
Iranian oil in violation of US sanctions. He was reportedly
heading towards Cuba carrying Venezuelan crude oil. US authorities justified
the Caesar by saying the tanker was transporting oil in
(13:24):
violation of US sanctions and part of an illicit oil
shipping network that it supports sanctioned entities, including direct ties
to Iran. President Trump also stated publicly that the tanker
was seized for a very good reason. He didn't publicly
disclose full legal grounds or the ship's ownership in detail.
(13:44):
That will be coming in the days ahead. But what
we do know is Venezuela's reaction is exactly what you
would expect. The Venezuelan government, led by Nicholas Maduro strongly
condemned the actions, called the seizure theft an Act of
into National Piracy. Caracas says the move violates a sovereignty
and is driven by US interests in Venezuela's natural resources
(14:08):
and oil wealth. Venezuelas valid to raise the issue at
the International Quote Forums now. The seizure has heightened geopolitical
tensions between the US and Venezuela to a new level,
is how Reuters put it this evening. It contributed to
a rise in global oil prices because of concern about
disruptions to Venezuelan oil exports.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Which are in Bargo.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Admitting now in the world market that yes, these black
ships and this oil that is not supposed to be
sold is happening each and every day, which brings me
to part two of the story. As the Left is
trying to act like this is some shocking move, even
CNN security analysts says that America seizing an oil tanker
(14:57):
is quote absolutely normal. Yes, even on CNN they're saying
that this is normal and law and order.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Listen carefully, let's bring in CNN national security analysts Beth Sanner.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Be's.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
First of all, a lot of people don't understand the
basic idea of what's going on here. Nicholas Maduro, who
is in charge of Venezuela, President of Venezuela. He's there
because of fraud, like he should not be the leader
of Venezuela.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
He lost the election.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
He lost the election, and he kept power instead President
Trump is. My larger point is that President Trump is
It's not wild for people in the West to think
Madora is not there legitimately, and there has been this
pressure campaign from President Trump for him to step down.
Seizing an oil tanker, that's a much bigger deal and
a much bigger than these narco terrorist boats, as the
(15:51):
President calls them, people shooting them, seizing a tanker. How
could this escalate the conflict with Venezuela.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Well, you know, we've had sanctions on Venezuelan oil for
since the first Trump administration and then Biden kept them,
kept them, So to me, this is absolutely normal. I
mean seizing oil tank Yeah, we've been seizing Iranian oil
tankers in the past. We also, according to the law
(16:22):
that I've read, we can that oil is up for forfeiture,
so we could keep that. We've kept Iranian oil in
the past. So I actually think that this is less
controversial in terms of law and sanctions and what has
been you know, disputed or not disputed. Like I think
(16:43):
this is actually a pretty you know, check the box case. Now,
you know, what will this mean in terms of escalation?
Speaker 9 (16:51):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (16:51):
You know, what is he going to do? What is
Madeiro gonna do? Is he gonna step aside because we're
sanctioning this oil? I mean, you know, we we pick
up this oil tanker, it's one oil tanker.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Probably not, and it's unlikely that he would.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You listen to CNN and the analyst there, I love
how Jake Tapper acts like he's shocked when she says,
America sees his oil tankers, and we've done this in
the past. It's absolutely normal. But they're trying to act
like this is some shocking move. By the way, the
President of United States of America made it clear this
was going to be something they were going to do,
(17:26):
which comes down to the video that has come out
showing just how powerful the United States military can be
and law enforcement can be when they decide to act
and are able to do their job because of a
president of the United States of America that's willing to
allow them to do their job. Here's how Fox News
(17:46):
described the taking of that oil tanker.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Traumatic new video as the US sees is an oil
tanker off of the Venezuelan coast. President Trump did not
say why, but he did say, quote, other things are happening.
The administration has been striking alleged Narco terrorist vessels near
Venezuela and is putting heavy pressure on disputed President Nicholas Maduro.
Senior foreign policy correspondent Jillian Turner starts us off tonight
(18:12):
from the State Department.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
Even Jillian good evening to you bat President Trump confirms
the United States military has seized this crude oil tanker
off the coast of Venezuela. After insisting for months now
that the US is in fact at war with drug
cartels that are running these boats in the US southcom region.
We've obtained this video that the Attorney General Pambondi posted
(18:34):
on social media just a moment ago. You can see
here during this seizure. She says, the FBI, the Homeland
Security Departments, and Coast Guard executed this operation with support
from the War Department. You can see here US service
members landing a military helicopter on this vessel before then
disembarking and entering. The US had issued a warrant we
(18:56):
are learning for this crude oil tanker, alleging it had
been used to transport illegal oil from Venezuela and Iran
in support of foreign terrorist organizations. The cazuar comes after
senior officials presented the President with potential war plans and
then deployed major navy assets to the region. While the
President himself declined to state a reason for today's seizure,
(19:17):
which could very well constitute an act of war, he
did say this, could we see American troops on the
ground in Venezuela.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I don't comment.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I wouldn't say that one way or the other.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
In this case, President Trump says, the victor will in
fact take the spoils.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
When you have to follow the tanker, you know, hear
a good Desmond.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
He just followed the tanker.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
A helicopter followed the tanker.
Speaker 10 (19:45):
I assume we're going to keep the The US military
strikes on these alleged drug boats in the region have
so far killed at least eighty seven people, a death
toll that's become increasingly the focus of scrutiny on Capitol Hill,
where lawmakers have zero to a in on this so
called double tap strike that was carried out on September second.
Now yesterday, the Secretaries of State and War briefed key
(20:09):
lawmakers on Capitol Hill about these September second boat strikes.
They indicated reportedly that they are at least considering the
option to release the full unedited video footage of those strikes.
That day, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer told reporters after the
briefing that Secretary Hegsat said to him they need to
(20:30):
study these tapes before they make a determination.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Brett Jillian Turner up the State Department, Jillian, thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So there it is a present standing up for this country,
holding these narco terraces accountable, seizing the oil and the
tankers that are being used to prop up a regime
that is coming after America, and also working with Iran.
And what's the point of having I would say to
those on the left sanctions if you don't actually enforce them.
(21:02):
These sanctions, by the way, have been around in Democrats administrations,
including Biden, including Barack Obamas. But if you don't enforce
the sanctions on these countries, they're meaningless. So really, what
the President's doing is something pretty simple. He's saying, we
have sanctions, we are going to take them seriously, we
(21:23):
are going to enforce them, and we're going to make
them pay a major price. And all of this is
to make sure that we keep this country safe from
these narco terras that have been flooding this country. Venezuela
is a great example, with drugs and fetnyl that is
killing tens of thousands of Americans. Well done, President Trump.
(21:47):
The White House making it very clear that we have
a real problem with immigration from third world countries, and
is it adding to the United States of America, or
is it actually putting you and many other lives at risk.
That is part of the question that we must be asking,
and for far too long. If you ask that question,
(22:08):
people immediately say things like your racist, or you're a bigot,
or that's not what America is about. But the data
is showing that we do have a crisis in this country,
and so how do we deal with it? Steven Miller
talking about this from the White House on Fox News
Channel and clearly telegraphing what may be coming from the
White House. Listen carefully of the words he chooses.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
So one last question, Stephen. I think you and I
could have and should have this conversation have much longer.
Skill This is something that is incredibly important and worthy
of a half hour together. But such as the nature
of television as it is right now, I'm working on that,
but this will be quickly my last question for you.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
What can we do?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Stephen?
Speaker 11 (22:47):
You know this was something America addressed in the nineteen twenties.
They had these debates, they had these conversations openly, and
they chose in the nineteen twenties to say we are
going to put strict quotas on people coming from different
parts of the world. Sixty five did away with what
we did in the twenties. So do we need something
like the nineteen twenty four Act.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Clearly we need to have in this country exactly what
President Trump called for, which is that we need a
moratorium on immigration from third world countries until we can
heal ourselves as a nation, solve our education issues, solve
our healthcare issues, our public safety issues, our assimilation issues,
are cultural issues. So the nineteen twenty four Act is
(23:28):
such a good example because so we had large immigration
from Europe from eighteen eighty to nineteen twenty. So, in
other words, we went from a country that had immigration
from part of Europe to immigration from many other parts
of Europe.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
But even other European.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Countries post enormous stresses on the US system, both economically
and in terms of security.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
There's a lot of crime, a lot.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
Of threats of public safety and order, and those who
are addressed with very strict immigration quotas. What they don't
teach you in school is that from nineteen twenty to
nineteen seventy there was negative migration. There was a half
century of negative migration. The foreign born population declined by
forty percent for half a century. During that same time period,
(24:08):
will the US population doubled from natural childbirth.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That was the cauldron in.
Speaker 12 (24:14):
Which a unified, shared national identity was formed. They went
through a depression together, they went through world wars together,
They landed on the moon together. This great period of
American history happened at a time when there was negative migration.
They don't teach that to our kids in school, and frankly,
I would submit very few politicians serving in Congress probably
know that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Will very few politicians in Washington serving know that as well.
Going back to talking about the nineteen twenty four Act
is a good example. As he described it, he wasn't
done there by the way. Stephen Miller also talking about
Somalia specifically. Now again, if you talk about Somalia and saying, hey,
(24:57):
maybe we need to cut back or we need to
look at what we've done here in this country and
how many people are letting in from Somalia, you will
immediately be called a bigot and or a racist for
even trying to have the conversation. I want you to
hear what Stephen had to say about what we're finding
out about what may be one of the biggest frauds
we've ever seen with a number of people coming into
(25:18):
this country from Somalia.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Listen, I can have as long as I'm willing to
work for. That's the American drill.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
My next guest has been a driving force behind President
Trump's immigration policies. He is White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
For Policy, Steven Miller.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Stephen, great to see you.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
You know, the interesting thing about hearing from a guy
like Geene Simmons right there and what he had to say,
when you do talk to someone who is either the
child or the direct legal immigrants United States, they often
share that type of love of America, wherein when we
look at in a legal population, you don't often hear
that same type of patriotism.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
Well, first of all, thank you for having this conversation.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Will.
Speaker 12 (25:56):
I think there's been an incredible lack of honest, truthful
candidate conversation in American media for a very long time
about immigration policy.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
And you're right, of course that immigrants.
Speaker 12 (26:07):
Who come here legally engage in an act of spite
against America from the moment they crossed that border and
then continue to break our laws and flat our system
and defy our rules every single day they're here and
continue to plunder and pillage off the system, and of
course their children as a result of so called birthrights citizenship,
which is the greatest scam in history, get unlimited welfare
(26:28):
for life that goes to the benefit of legal alien parents.
But I want to address your monologue specifically about the
nineteen sixty five Immigration Act and what that means in
American history. So, during the Civil rights era, and this
is the simple so way I can put it, there
was a thought, in effect. You can go back and
you can read the transcripts of the debate at the
time of applying civil rights to immigration policy for the
(26:52):
globe and to create a civil right for people from
every part of the world to come to America in.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Every growing numbers.
Speaker 12 (27:01):
And so a system that for years, as you mentioned,
had been tightly restricted, suddenly established this global ability of
people in every part of the world to come to America,
to bring their families to America, and then eventually empty
out their entire towns and their entire villages to the
United States of America. And so what you saw between
nineteen sixty five and today was the single largest experiment
(27:25):
on a society, on a civilization that had ever been
conducted in human history. Not just the seventy six million
immigrants that were brought in, largely from the Third World,
but their descendants too.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
So you see with a lot.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Of these immigrant groups, not only is the first generation
unsuccessful against Somaldia as a clear example here, not only
is the first generation unsuccessful, but you see persistent issues
in every subsequent generation. So you see consistent high rates
of welfare use, consistent high rates of criminal activity, consistent
failures to assimilate. But they shouldn't be a surprise, will
(28:00):
It's just common sense. If Somaldians cannot make Somalia successful,
why would we think that the track will be any
different in the United States? Go third world country by
third world country. No one's saying, look, there are people
all over the world that are great people, But you
look at the society. If Libya keeps failing, if the
(28:21):
Central African Republic keeps failing, if Somalia keeps failing, right,
if these societies all over the world continue to fail,
you have to ask yourself, if you bring those societies
into our country and then give them unlimited, free welfare
what do we think is gonna happen. You're going to
replicate the conditions that they left over and over and
(28:43):
over again, and we mask the impact of immigration every
public policy issue we discuss. We talk about test scores
will if you subtract immigration out of test scores, all
of a sudden, our test scores skyrocket. If you subtract
immigration out of healthcare, all of a sudden, we don't
have nearly the size of the healthcare challenges our country faces.
(29:05):
If you subtract immigration out of public safety, all of
a sudden, we don't have violent crime in so many
of our cities. Issue after issue, we talk about these
things that just they just happen to us. The schools
just suddenly fail by the crime just suddenly explodes, the
deficit just suddenly skyrockets. These are a result of social
policy choices that we made through immigration.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
You notice what he said, and if you listen to
how he said it, he said, Look, we need legal
immigration because illegal immigration is completely underminding.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
People are doing it the right way. That is important.
And number two, you have to look at the issue safety.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
That is a conversation that everyone that's in this country
deserves to have that conversation and why would we do
something there's hurting Americans that are in this country, including
immigrants who have come to this country on a multitude
of issues as basic as.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Housing and jobs.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
These are the conversations that need to be had because
all of this is coming as a former ICE official
has now blown the whistle saying Somali immigration to the
US marked the greatest refugee fraud crisis in modern times.
