Speaker 1 (00:01):
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on US
Soul together, first time a leader from Russia has been
the US since nineteen eighty eight, and they shared a
handshake on the Tarmact Joint Base Richardson in Alaska before
departying together in Donald Trump's presidential limousine, known as the Beast,
for the high stakes meeting to discuss the war in Ukraine. Now,
(00:25):
the two men were smiling when they shook hands for
the camera. Trump arrived in Alaska at about ten twenty
am local time, while Putin's plane landed around ten point fifty.
The two leaders descended their respective planes and walked a
red carpet. Now. The President also was asked on his plane,
Air Force one, on the way to Alaska about what
(00:46):
his expectations were for the summit. This is what he
had to say to Brett Baer on Fox News Channel
in an excerpt.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
What are your expectations?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I mean, is the goal of this meeting in Alaska
to walk away with his.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
So when you talk about deals, it's all I do
my whole life. I do deals.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
You never know, you don't like to have too many expectations.
You want it because you have to weave and Bob
and you don't know what's going to happen, but we're
going to go and find out. I'd like to see
a ceasefire. I wouldn't be thrilled if I didn't get it.
But everyone says you're not going to get the seat fire.
It'll take place on the second meeting. The second meeting
is going to be very but I'm not going to
(01:27):
be happy with that, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I'm going to be.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I won't be happy if I walk away without some
form of a ceasefire.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Now I say this, and I've said it from the beginning.
This is really setting the table today.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
We're going to have another meeting if things work out,
which will be very soon, or we're not going to
have any more meetings at all, maybe.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Ever, or we're not going to have any meetings in
the future, like ever at all, maybe never the present,
making it quick, or what this meeting needs to look like,
and what he believes success will look like in a meeting.
The President also saying, look, if he's not there to
actually work a deal, then we are not going to
waste our time. He would be willing to walk away
(02:14):
from a deal if it is or from Vladimir Putin
if it is not serious. Trump also said this about
is it fair for him to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine.
Take a listen, So if you were to paint a
picture of what perfect looks like coming out of Alaska today,
what does that look like in your mind?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Look, it's not for me to negotiate a deal.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
For Ukraine, but I can certainly set the table to
negotiate the deal. And our next meeting will have President
Zelenski and President Putin.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And probably me.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'd like to focus on doing our country, but you know,
I get these interruptions.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I've solved six wars in six.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Months when you think about it, and that's from Pakistan
to India that was going to be a terrible one.
Planes being shot down that was getting ready to flare,
and then nuclear powers.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
As you heard President Trump say, it's not for me
to negotiate a deal for Ukraine, but I can certainly
set the table to negotiate that deal. And that's exactly
one of the presidents, meaning face to face with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
The media is doing what the media always does, trying
to undermine the President of the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
NBC News MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
This is what they had to say as the two
world leaders met on the red carpet. Now you've got
to understand this is a simple handshake that they've witnessed
at MSNBC. And what did John Brennan say, Well, listen carefully, doctor.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Brennan, what are your thoughts when you see Trump touched Putin.
I've counted at least four times, you know, an arm
on the shoulder, a hand on a hand. I can't
imagine touching somebody like that after knowing about and seeing
recording like Ali Bell, she's out of boot chat your
thoughts well.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
As Ali's interview demonstrated, there are so many individual stories
about just the horrendous suffering that the Ukrainian people have
gone through.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
But it's the scale of the suffering.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Putin is responsible for well over one million deaths Ukrainians
and Russians, probably three or four times as many wounded
and maimed. The scale of the atrocities and his targeting,
intentional targeting of civilians makes I think that image of
the red carpet greeting from the President United States, particularly odious.
It is really quite something that an international pariah who
(04:37):
has been responsible for so much destruction over the past
several years is welcomed.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I know that we need to be able to bring
the fighting Ukraine to an end, and unfortunately, you know,
the only present we have right now is Donald Trump.
And so I do believe that both Donald Trump and
Lami Putin do not want this meeting to be an
abject failure. I think they both have a stake and
seeing something come out of it. But I do detect
Donald Trump's nervousness. I think he does have some butterflies
(05:07):
in his stomach because he knows that he has long
over committed what he can do in terms of bringing
this war to a close.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You listen to John Brennan there, it's amazing. I do
detect Donald Trump's nervousness. This is the President of smiling,
coming off of Air Force One, getting on a red
carpet meeting Vladimir Putin, shaking hands for the cameras, and
he said, but I think he does have some butterflies
in his stomach. Obviously, John Brennan doesn't know what the
(05:34):
hell he's talking about, or anybody else for that matter
who is watching this happen in real time. No, the
President did not seem nervous at all. No, the president
you would have no idea if he had butterflies in
his stomach. By the way, the two leaders have met
multiple times before. This is not some crazy thing that's happening.
(05:54):
And yet what is the media doing everything they can
to tear down the president? What does the president's goal here?
The President's goal is very simple, to get a deal
to save lives, to stop a war, to stop a
war that's been going on for years, and to stop
the senseless killing of young men, women and children in
(06:16):
both of these countries, all because of Vladimir Putin. He's
also trying to do it quickly. Why would we want
to drag this on? And what is the media doing
telling you every reason why they think Donald Trump will
be a failure at this summit, and even criticizing the
President United Sisma saying I don't even know how he
can touch this man. How can he touch this man
(06:38):
that has done such evil? The President United States of America.
Guess what has to put those types of feelings aside
when you're trying to negotiate peace between two nations, and
so yes, Donald Trump is going to shake the hand
of Ladimir Putin. Yes, he put his hand on his
shoulder as well. Yes, you don't want to go in
this meeting hating each other if you want to get
(06:58):
a deal done. This is what I would describe as
the literally art of the deal. So here we are,
the two men are meeting as we speak. Hopefully they're
getting something done in a positive way. Hopefully they'll get
a deal done that makes sense for everyone involved. And
hopefully they'll get to a point where they can go
to Zelenski and say, Okay, this is what it's looking like.
(07:21):
Let's start the negotiations. And by the way, working towards
a ceasefire quickly is another huge part of this conversation.
And by the way, NBCMSNBCS aren't the only ones that
are doing this. Turn it over to see it in
former Obama Chief of Staff Rob Emmanuel saying this about
(07:42):
the Alaska summit yet again, hoping it's a failure.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
When cease fire, whatever happens, there will be a tabulation
of the win loss here, both body count, economically, strategically,
what's happened to Russia. That's why slightly the red carpet.
They are cheering back muscle because the isolation and this
was a freebie, a total freebie without literally you cannot
where's America's scorecard from kind of how you measure this.
(08:08):
That's why I worry about President Tump putting his own
personal interests ahead of America's national security.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Interest Ram Emmanuel, I worry about President Trump putting his
own personal interests ahead of America's national security interests? Are
you kidding me? This is now what he's saying. Let's
also talk about the reality. The reality is the US
economy is strong. Russia is not. And that's part of
(08:33):
the reason why this summit is probably happening, because Russia's
in a major hole right now when it comes to
their cash flow. Let me just give you some examples
of what's happening right now. Russia is running literally out
of cash. It is in a severe stagnation or stagflation,
(08:54):
depending on how you want to describe it. Potatoes are
up sixty two percent, butter up thirty breught up eighteen
percent of interest rates to the high eighteen percent stagflation.
Russia is losing at least three hundred million a day
on its war in Ukraine. That war is eating up
about forty percent of the Russian government spending. Let that
(09:17):
sink in and you understand what advantage we have. In
a bombshell report, a democratic whistleblower has come forward, a
long time staffer on the House Intelligence Committee and told
the FBI back in December of twenty seventeen, during Donald
(09:37):
Trump's first year in office, that then Representative Adam Schiff
authorized the leaking of classified information during the Russia Gate
investigation to discredit President Donald Trump, believing that he would
be appointed CIA director under a potential Hillary Clinton presidency.
(10:02):
In meetings, Adam Shift allegedly stated the leaks would be
used to indict President Trump. When the whistleblower objected, others
reportedly reassured him that they would not quote be caught.
The whistleblower described a system where sense of material was
(10:23):
funneled to Shift and then selectively leaked to the press.
One document allegedly seen by a small group including Shift
and Representative Eric Swalwell, you remember the congressman that was
literally sleeping with a Chinese spy, was leaked almost verbatim
within a day. The whistle blower labeled these actions unethical
(10:47):
and potentially treasonous, and sought FBI involvement, though the Department
of Justice reportedly declined to pursue the investigation further. The
White House Press secretary calling the report a bombshell, signing
the newly released FBI documentation about the whistleblower's account. Here's
more of what Caroline Levitt had to say when she
(11:09):
was asked about it in the White House Briefing Room BEKA.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Thanks Caroline.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
My question involves Russia Gate.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
A whistleblower alleges that the Congressman Adam Shift approved leaking
classified information to smear President Trump's.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Image during the Russia g scandal.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
As a president planned to investigate Adam Shift.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
And what would accountability look like if more information.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Confirms the support The President has already said he wants
to see Adam Schiff held accountable for the countless lies
he told the American people in relation to the Russia
Gate scandal. I brought Tulsey Gabbert out to this podium
to talk to you about all of that, and this
administration is taking accountability very seriously. As for this new
FBI whistleblower report, I understand cash Pattel last Night declassified
(11:52):
a three h two FBI document showing that a whistleblower
who is a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who worked
for Democrats on the House Intel Committee for more than
a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen that
then Rep. Adams shiff had approved leaking classified information to
smear then President Donald Trump over the rush Agate scandal.
(12:16):
This is obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people
in this room will cover it as such. And I
have a quote from the FBI Director for all of you.
He has said this for years to certain officials use
their positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives.
It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence
and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public
(12:39):
trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,
with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the
chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized
and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on,
and hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this
whistleblower allegation. If this were first, if this were if
(13:02):
this were allegations against the President or any of these
cabinet officials, I'm sure everyone in this room would cover
it as such.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Carolyn Levitt, by the way, is absolutely right. The media
is not covering the story. Thank goodness, we're covering it.
And also they had a very interesting way of covering
this at Fox News on Brett Baar's show, I want
you to hear the latest of what he had to
say from Washington other store.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We're following tonight. California Senator Adam Schiff is being accused
by a fellow Democrat of leaking classified information relating to
the Russia Gate scandal. Shiff's office is denying those claims.
Senior Congressional correspondent Chad Program has all the details this
evening from Capitol Hill.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Treasonous and illegal.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
That's how a Democratic whistleblower characterized Adam Schiff, accusing him
of green lighting the leak of classified information to undercut
President Trump during the twenty seventeen Russia Gate investigation.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
The President has already said he wants to see Adam
Shiff held accountable for the count lies he told the
American people in relation to the Russia Gates scandal.
Speaker 12 (14:03):
The whistleblower was a veteran House Intelligence Committee staffer. The
FBI summary obtained by Fox says Schiff told Aids he
would quote leak classified information which was derogatory to the
president in hopes of scoring an indictment for the commander
in chief.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's beyond unseemly.
Speaker 13 (14:20):
This was just an egregious breach and a really a
reprehensible act on the part of Adam.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
Schiff's office calls this baseless smears, saying the whistleblower was
quote not reliable, not credible, and was fired. Schiff was
the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee as it
probed possible twenty sixteen election interference.
Speaker 14 (14:43):
If the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided
or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a
serious crime, it would also represent one of the most
shocking betrayals of democracy in history.
Speaker 12 (14:56):
Schiff, who led the democrats first impeachment of President Trump,
now faces an unrelated criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Now it looks like Adam Schiff really did a bad thing.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
They have them, Democrats say the GOP is trying to
shift the.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Narrative look This is a nonsense.
Speaker 13 (15:15):
This is an effort to change the subject away from
the Epstein files.
Speaker 12 (15:21):
The FBI summary indicates that Schiff hope Hillary Clinton would
win in twenty sixteen. Shiff aspired to run the CIA.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Can you imagine if Adam Schiff was running the CIA
what he would have done knowing that apparently he was
leaking this type of classified information totally to take down
the present of the United States of America. So when
you look back over this issue moving forward, yes there
should be accountability. There are some saying, Wow, this shouldn't
(15:50):
be an issue of accountability. Let's just move on from it.
If you're saying that, I think you're insane. Because these
people went totally outside of the time and time again
they abuse their power to try to overthrow the will
of the people. And that's exactly why the White House
reacted to this democratic whistleblower as a bombshell, and it's
(16:12):
also the reason why the media in general is not
covering it. Jonathan Turley, breaking down the latest allegations against
Adam Shift, had this to say about it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Take a listen.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
Welcome back Democrat Senator Adam Shift. He's known to shift
the narrative, particularly on the Russia collusion hoax.
Speaker 13 (16:33):
This is about his clear evidence you could find of
intent by the campaign to collude with the Russians. He
may be the first president in quite some time to
face the real prospect of jail time. The Russians offered help,
the campaign accepted help, The Russians gave help, and the
President made full.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Use of that help.
Speaker 13 (16:51):
The evidence is now overwhelming and unequivocal.
Speaker 11 (16:54):
There is reporting almost testifying as to evidence linking dot
Trump to Russia. Newly released FBI memos, By the Way,
obtained by Fox show a Democrat whistleblower who's accusing Adam
Schiff of green lighting a leak of classified information in
order to damage Trump during the Russia Gate investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The source recalled the following. In the meeting, Shifts.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory
to President of the United States Donald J.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Trump.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Shifts stated the information would be used to indict President Trump.
Someone stated this would be illegal, and upon hearing his concerns,
an unnamed member of the meeting reassured that certain someone
they would not be caught leaking classified information.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No weather ever going to get caught woots.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
FBI Director Cash Pattel posted, we found it. We declassified it.
Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to
shape political narratives and decide if our institutions were weaponized
against the am Mayamerican people. Shift is saying, no, no, no, no,
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wit a minute. I'm
not guilty of leaking classified information. Those baseless smears are
based on allegations that were found to be not reliable,
(18:10):
not credible, and uncnstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer who
was fired by the House Intel Committee for cause in
twenty seventeen, including for harassment and potentially compromising activity on
official travel for the committee. You want me to think
about official travel for the Committe when I'm sitting here
concerned about you leaking classified information? Joining me now, George
(18:31):
Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley,
Professor's great to see you here today. Leaking classified information.
That's a potentially very serious charge, is it not.
Speaker 15 (18:42):
It doesn't get much more serious than that. The Chairman
of the House Intel Committee doesn't have declassification authority over
these types of documents. They are made available to Congress
under very tightly controlled rules. This has been a source
of tension for years, and members of both parties have
gone out of their way to assure that this material
(19:04):
would be closely held and not weaponized. Shift was viewed
it is one of the most political chairs of that
committee in its history, and this is an truly chilling
account if true. Now, when I first read it, frankly,
I was taken aback because it's perfectly moronic to commit
such a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff.
(19:31):
That's not usually how things are leaked in Washington, d C.
What makes this different, will is that this was a
statement made to FBI agents. The person who made this
statement was no doubt aware that lyning to FBI agents
is not just a crime, but a crime that was
repeatedly prosecuted during prior administrations, including the Obama and Biden administrations.
(19:56):
So making this statement puts you at risk. That's why
someone's lying here, and someone's a fellon.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
The question now is do you believe Adam Schiff or
is Adam Schiff the felon and maybe the liar all
at the same time. We're going to keep covering this one.
I can promise you that it is Democrats' biggest fear.
Law and order returning state by state and states now
working with the Trump administration and ICE officials. Specifically, we
(20:29):
now have three states that have signed a new agreement
with ICE for quote expanded immigration enforcement operations. These three
states include West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, all signing
the agreements with the Department of Homeland Securities, US Immigration
(20:49):
and Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say, ramp up immigration
enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was the first one one.
The governor there, Patrick Morsey, announce a robust collaboration under
Section two eight seven G of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
(21:11):
This agreement enlists the West Virginia State Police, Corrections and
Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard to assist ICE in
immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an a legal immigrant, you
don't want to be in West Virginia right now now.
Under this task force structure, officers can quote interrogate anyone
(21:33):
suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number two process immigration
violations for individuals already rested for other offenses. Three conduct
warrantless arrests if an individual is seen and suspected to
be a flight risk pending a warrant, four serve immigration warrants,
(21:56):
administer oas, collect fingerprints and gas their evidence, and five
issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional facilities before
transferring them to ICE custy under federal supervision. You look
at what has happened in South Dakota. The governor there,
(22:16):
as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder, a public
safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota Highway Patrols
support ICE, with the rest announcing it today. The National
Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks as well,
and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees, identify
(22:37):
undocumented individuals within state prisons and parole them into ICE custody.
You then move to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former
White House pre Secretary under Donald Trump, signing the Defense
Against Criminal Illegals Act, which definitively increases penalties for undocumented
(22:59):
immigrants can to violent crimes, again saying to legal immigrants,
you don't want to be in Arkansas. It also, with
this new agreement allows sheriffs to apply for the two
eight seven G authority to serve immigration warrants on those
already in custody, and Sarah Huckebee Center's announcing this enables
(23:20):
the Arkansas State Police to stop individuals in public inquire
about immigration status and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now,
if you think they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example,
in Arkansas, there is training required, a forty hour online
course covering scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues,
(23:45):
as well as liability. Doing this in a responsible way.
Now you may be asking what is ICE two to
eight seven G program. Well, let me explain to you
the broader context of how this is being used by
the Trump administration. The program enables state and local officers
after ICE provided training, to carry out certain immigration enforcement
(24:08):
duties under ICE supervision. That is why there's a collaboration
here and why they are having to sign on to
the program.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
As of August thirteenth, ICE has executed eight hundred and
ninety seven agreements across forty states, including various models such
as jail enforcement, warrant service, and task force operations.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
The Trump administration has.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Significantly accelerated these partnerships, growing from around one hundred and
thirty five to over seven hundred agreements in early twenty
twenty five alone.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Of course, the left.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Is going insane, warning that the surge is a risk
to quote civil rights community trust and invites, they say,
racial profiling, even though none of these programs have anything
to do with that. Now, you also may be asking yourself,
why am I not quoting the president right now when
I'm telling you about this initiative. Well, the President clearly
(25:09):
is playing chess on the issue. In fact, the White
House has had no public statement or reaction regarding these
specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, mainly
because they want this to be clearly seen as state
led that these governors are opting in. And that is
exactly why the administration is being so successful in getting
(25:32):
this done with so many different agreements, because they're not grandstanding.
They're just trying to fight crime, and it's clearly working.
I want you also take a listen to West Virginia's
governor responding to the Trump administration's position on immigration enforcement
and entering into this agreement and what he says it's
going to do for his state, and also why so
(25:53):
many other states should get involved.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
We always thought that when you're talking about Biden border disorder,
which is what occurred for four years, the best way
to deal with it is to have a partnership between
the states and the federal government. Now you're seeing that
with the Trump administration, which is incredible. So West Virginia
has actually entered into the two eighty seven g program,
(26:16):
and so we're working hand in hand with ICE to
identify illegal aliens and make sure that they can get deported.
And this is really important to do because, as President
Trump said yesterday, when you actually remove a lot of
these illegal aliens from the system, you're going to see
a reduction in crime. That there are a number of
people we found it even in West Virginia, murderers, attempted murder,
(26:40):
sexual assaults, all different types of crime. None of the
states need it.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Now we have a.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Partnership with the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
And it's fabulous.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
I know that I've talked to a Homeland Security Secretary,
Christy Nome. I've praised her for her or we're trying
to work together with them because it takes states working
with the government to make sure that we're kind of
reasserting our position and stopping all the horrific consequences of
what happened with the illegal immigrants coming in. I know
(27:11):
in West Virginia we really felt the impact of that
through the massive amount of death that flowed from fetanyl
that flooded into our state, originally from China, went through
the Mexican drug cartels, made its way into the US.
I think you're seeing a very different and a much
more successful approach, and I'm glad that our state is
(27:31):
a part of that.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
One of the most important things that was said there
by the West Virginia governor was how he said West
Virginia had quote become an effective border state due to
the massive fetno problem caused by illegal immigration. The fetno
outbreak in West Virginia has been catastrophic, especially on young people.
(27:53):
This is one of the reasons why the governor said
he's so eager to work with ICE because of how
many lives he believes he's going to be able to save. Now,
the National Guard and the State police will have quote
task force authority, and that is going to be huge
and going after the drug traffickers. Why it gives them
the authority to interrogate any person they believe to be
(28:16):
an illegal immigrant as to his right to remain in
the US now under the supervision or direction of the
federal government, meaning ICE agents officers will also be able
to process immigration related violations for those arrested for state
or federal offenses. This is going to allow the governor
(28:39):
and his team to actually be able to do what
they need to do. It also allows for them to
have quote, warrantless arrests of any illegal immigrant in the
officer's presence or view if that person is believed to
be a flight risk in the interim of obtaining a warrant.
So the governor they are authorizing this state law enforcement
(29:01):
to serve immigration warrants, administer os, and collect evidence for
required alien processing. This will allow for fingerprinting and suspect
interviews to be done.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Now. This is also going to have a.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Huge impact just on the psyche of illegal immigrants and
cartel members in West Virginia because now they understand that
virtually anyone in law enforcement now can do the job
they need to do to find out who they are
and stop them, something that was not happening under the
Biden regime. And that's why the President's being pretty quiet
(29:36):
about this because it's happening in real time and he's
letting the governors lead in these states. Don't forget Share
this podcast please with your family and your friends whereover
they are, and I will see you back here tomorrow
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on US
Soul together, first time a leader from Russia has been
the US since nineteen eighty eight, and they shared a
handshake on the Tarmact Joint Base Richardson in Alaska before
departying together in Donald Trump's presidential limousine, known as the Beast,
for the high stakes meeting to discuss the war in Ukraine. Now,
(00:25):
the two men were smiling when they shook hands for
the camera. Trump arrived in Alaska at about ten twenty
am local time, while Putin's plane landed around ten point fifty.
The two leaders descended their respective planes and walked a
red carpet. Now. The President also was asked on his plane,
Air Force one, on the way to Alaska about what
(00:46):
his expectations were for the summit. This is what he
had to say to Brett Baer on Fox News Channel
in an excerpt.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
What are your expectations?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I mean, is the goal of this meeting in Alaska
to walk away with his.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
So when you talk about deals, it's all I do
my whole life. I do deals.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
You never know, you don't like to have too many expectations.
You want it because you have to weave and Bob
and you don't know what's going to happen, but we're
going to go and find out. I'd like to see
a ceasefire. I wouldn't be thrilled if I didn't get it.
But everyone says you're not going to get the seat fire.
It'll take place on the second meeting. The second meeting
is going to be very but I'm not going to
(01:27):
be happy with that, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I'm going to be.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I won't be happy if I walk away without some
form of a ceasefire.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Now I say this, and I've said it from the beginning.
This is really setting the table today.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
We're going to have another meeting if things work out,
which will be very soon, or we're not going to
have any more meetings at all, maybe.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Ever, or we're not going to have any meetings in
the future, like ever at all, maybe never the present,
making it quick, or what this meeting needs to look like,
and what he believes success will look like in a meeting.
The President also saying, look, if he's not there to
actually work a deal, then we are not going to
waste our time. He would be willing to walk away
(02:14):
from a deal if it is or from Vladimir Putin
if it is not serious. Trump also said this about
is it fair for him to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine.
Take a listen, So if you were to paint a
picture of what perfect looks like coming out of Alaska today,
what does that look like in your mind?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Look, it's not for me to negotiate a deal.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
For Ukraine, but I can certainly set the table to
negotiate the deal. And our next meeting will have President
Zelenski and President Putin.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And probably me.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'd like to focus on doing our country, but you know,
I get these interruptions.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I've solved six wars in six.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Months when you think about it, and that's from Pakistan
to India that was going to be a terrible one.
Planes being shot down that was getting ready to flare,
and then nuclear powers.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
As you heard President Trump say, it's not for me
to negotiate a deal for Ukraine, but I can certainly
set the table to negotiate that deal. And that's exactly
one of the presidents, meaning face to face with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Now, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
The media is doing what the media always does, trying
to undermine the President of the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
NBC News MSNBC.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
This is what they had to say as the two
world leaders met on the red carpet. Now you've got
to understand this is a simple handshake that they've witnessed
at MSNBC. And what did John Brennan say, Well, listen carefully, doctor.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Brennan, what are your thoughts when you see Trump touched Putin.
I've counted at least four times, you know, an arm
on the shoulder, a hand on a hand. I can't
imagine touching somebody like that after knowing about and seeing
recording like Ali Bell, she's out of boot chat your
thoughts well.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
As Ali's interview demonstrated, there are so many individual stories
about just the horrendous suffering that the Ukrainian people have
gone through.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
But it's the scale of the suffering.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Putin is responsible for well over one million deaths Ukrainians
and Russians, probably three or four times as many wounded
and maimed. The scale of the atrocities and his targeting,
intentional targeting of civilians makes I think that image of
the red carpet greeting from the President United States, particularly odious.
It is really quite something that an international pariah who
(04:37):
has been responsible for so much destruction over the past
several years is welcomed.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I know that we need to be able to bring
the fighting Ukraine to an end, and unfortunately, you know,
the only present we have right now is Donald Trump.
And so I do believe that both Donald Trump and
Lami Putin do not want this meeting to be an
abject failure. I think they both have a stake and
seeing something come out of it. But I do detect
Donald Trump's nervousness. I think he does have some butterflies
(05:07):
in his stomach because he knows that he has long
over committed what he can do in terms of bringing
this war to a close.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You listen to John Brennan there, it's amazing. I do
detect Donald Trump's nervousness. This is the President of smiling,
coming off of Air Force One, getting on a red
carpet meeting Vladimir Putin, shaking hands for the cameras, and
he said, but I think he does have some butterflies
in his stomach. Obviously, John Brennan doesn't know what the
(05:34):
hell he's talking about, or anybody else for that matter
who is watching this happen in real time. No, the
President did not seem nervous at all. No, the president
you would have no idea if he had butterflies in
his stomach. By the way, the two leaders have met
multiple times before. This is not some crazy thing that's happening.
(05:54):
And yet what is the media doing everything they can
to tear down the president? What does the president's goal here?
The President's goal is very simple, to get a deal
to save lives, to stop a war, to stop a
war that's been going on for years, and to stop
the senseless killing of young men, women and children in
(06:16):
both of these countries, all because of Vladimir Putin. He's
also trying to do it quickly. Why would we want
to drag this on? And what is the media doing
telling you every reason why they think Donald Trump will
be a failure at this summit, and even criticizing the
President United Sisma saying I don't even know how he
can touch this man. How can he touch this man
(06:38):
that has done such evil? The President United States of America.
Guess what has to put those types of feelings aside
when you're trying to negotiate peace between two nations, and
so yes, Donald Trump is going to shake the hand
of Ladimir Putin. Yes, he put his hand on his
shoulder as well. Yes, you don't want to go in
this meeting hating each other if you want to get
(06:58):
a deal done. This is what I would describe as
the literally art of the deal. So here we are,
the two men are meeting as we speak. Hopefully they're
getting something done in a positive way. Hopefully they'll get
a deal done that makes sense for everyone involved. And
hopefully they'll get to a point where they can go
to Zelenski and say, Okay, this is what it's looking like.
(07:21):
Let's start the negotiations. And by the way, working towards
a ceasefire quickly is another huge part of this conversation.
And by the way, NBCMSNBCS aren't the only ones that
are doing this. Turn it over to see it in
former Obama Chief of Staff Rob Emmanuel saying this about
(07:42):
the Alaska summit yet again, hoping it's a failure.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
When cease fire, whatever happens, there will be a tabulation
of the win loss here, both body count, economically, strategically,
what's happened to Russia. That's why slightly the red carpet.
They are cheering back muscle because the isolation and this
was a freebie, a total freebie without literally you cannot
where's America's scorecard from kind of how you measure this.
(08:08):
That's why I worry about President Tump putting his own
personal interests ahead of America's national security.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Interest Ram Emmanuel, I worry about President Trump putting his
own personal interests ahead of America's national security interests? Are
you kidding me? This is now what he's saying. Let's
also talk about the reality. The reality is the US
economy is strong. Russia is not. And that's part of
(08:33):
the reason why this summit is probably happening, because Russia's
in a major hole right now when it comes to
their cash flow. Let me just give you some examples
of what's happening right now. Russia is running literally out
of cash. It is in a severe stagnation or stagflation,
(08:54):
depending on how you want to describe it. Potatoes are
up sixty two percent, butter up thirty breught up eighteen
percent of interest rates to the high eighteen percent stagflation.
Russia is losing at least three hundred million a day
on its war in Ukraine. That war is eating up
about forty percent of the Russian government spending. Let that
(09:17):
sink in and you understand what advantage we have. In
a bombshell report, a democratic whistleblower has come forward, a
long time staffer on the House Intelligence Committee and told
the FBI back in December of twenty seventeen, during Donald
(09:37):
Trump's first year in office, that then Representative Adam Schiff
authorized the leaking of classified information during the Russia Gate
investigation to discredit President Donald Trump, believing that he would
be appointed CIA director under a potential Hillary Clinton presidency.
(10:02):
In meetings, Adam Shift allegedly stated the leaks would be
used to indict President Trump. When the whistleblower objected, others
reportedly reassured him that they would not quote be caught.
The whistleblower described a system where sense of material was
(10:23):
funneled to Shift and then selectively leaked to the press.
One document allegedly seen by a small group including Shift
and Representative Eric Swalwell, you remember the congressman that was
literally sleeping with a Chinese spy, was leaked almost verbatim
within a day. The whistle blower labeled these actions unethical
(10:47):
and potentially treasonous, and sought FBI involvement, though the Department
of Justice reportedly declined to pursue the investigation further. The
White House Press secretary calling the report a bombshell, signing
the newly released FBI documentation about the whistleblower's account. Here's
more of what Caroline Levitt had to say when she
(11:09):
was asked about it in the White House Briefing Room BEKA.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Thanks Caroline.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
My question involves Russia Gate.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
A whistleblower alleges that the Congressman Adam Shift approved leaking
classified information to smear President Trump's.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Image during the Russia g scandal.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
As a president planned to investigate Adam Shift.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
And what would accountability look like if more information.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Confirms the support The President has already said he wants
to see Adam Schiff held accountable for the countless lies
he told the American people in relation to the Russia
Gate scandal. I brought Tulsey Gabbert out to this podium
to talk to you about all of that, and this
administration is taking accountability very seriously. As for this new
FBI whistleblower report, I understand cash Pattel last Night declassified
(11:52):
a three h two FBI document showing that a whistleblower
who is a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who worked
for Democrats on the House Intel Committee for more than
a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen that
then Rep. Adams shiff had approved leaking classified information to
smear then President Donald Trump over the rush Agate scandal.
(12:16):
This is obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people
in this room will cover it as such. And I
have a quote from the FBI Director for all of you.
He has said this for years to certain officials use
their positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives.
It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence
and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public
(12:39):
trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,
with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the
chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized
and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on,
and hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this
whistleblower allegation. If this were first, if this were if
(13:02):
this were allegations against the President or any of these
cabinet officials, I'm sure everyone in this room would cover
it as such.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Carolyn Levitt, by the way, is absolutely right. The media
is not covering the story. Thank goodness, we're covering it.
And also they had a very interesting way of covering
this at Fox News on Brett Baar's show, I want
you to hear the latest of what he had to
say from Washington other store.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We're following tonight. California Senator Adam Schiff is being accused
by a fellow Democrat of leaking classified information relating to
the Russia Gate scandal. Shiff's office is denying those claims.
Senior Congressional correspondent Chad Program has all the details this
evening from Capitol Hill.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Treasonous and illegal.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
That's how a Democratic whistleblower characterized Adam Schiff, accusing him
of green lighting the leak of classified information to undercut
President Trump during the twenty seventeen Russia Gate investigation.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
The President has already said he wants to see Adam
Shiff held accountable for the count lies he told the
American people in relation to the Russia Gates scandal.
Speaker 12 (14:03):
The whistleblower was a veteran House Intelligence Committee staffer. The
FBI summary obtained by Fox says Schiff told Aids he
would quote leak classified information which was derogatory to the
president in hopes of scoring an indictment for the commander
in chief.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
It's beyond unseemly.
Speaker 13 (14:20):
This was just an egregious breach and a really a
reprehensible act on the part of Adam.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
Schiff's office calls this baseless smears, saying the whistleblower was
quote not reliable, not credible, and was fired. Schiff was
the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee as it
probed possible twenty sixteen election interference.
Speaker 14 (14:43):
If the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided
or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a
serious crime, it would also represent one of the most
shocking betrayals of democracy in history.
Speaker 12 (14:56):
Schiff, who led the democrats first impeachment of President Trump,
now faces an unrelated criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Now it looks like Adam Schiff really did a bad thing.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
They have them, Democrats say the GOP is trying to
shift the.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Narrative look This is a nonsense.
Speaker 13 (15:15):
This is an effort to change the subject away from
the Epstein files.
Speaker 12 (15:21):
The FBI summary indicates that Schiff hope Hillary Clinton would
win in twenty sixteen. Shiff aspired to run the CIA.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Can you imagine if Adam Schiff was running the CIA
what he would have done knowing that apparently he was
leaking this type of classified information totally to take down
the present of the United States of America. So when
you look back over this issue moving forward, yes there
should be accountability. There are some saying, Wow, this shouldn't
(15:50):
be an issue of accountability. Let's just move on from it.
If you're saying that, I think you're insane. Because these
people went totally outside of the time and time again
they abuse their power to try to overthrow the will
of the people. And that's exactly why the White House
reacted to this democratic whistleblower as a bombshell, and it's
(16:12):
also the reason why the media in general is not
covering it. Jonathan Turley, breaking down the latest allegations against
Adam Shift, had this to say about it.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Take a listen.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
Welcome back Democrat Senator Adam Shift. He's known to shift
the narrative, particularly on the Russia collusion hoax.
Speaker 13 (16:33):
This is about his clear evidence you could find of
intent by the campaign to collude with the Russians. He
may be the first president in quite some time to
face the real prospect of jail time. The Russians offered help,
the campaign accepted help, The Russians gave help, and the
President made full.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Use of that help.
Speaker 13 (16:51):
The evidence is now overwhelming and unequivocal.
Speaker 11 (16:54):
There is reporting almost testifying as to evidence linking dot
Trump to Russia. Newly released FBI memos, By the Way,
obtained by Fox show a Democrat whistleblower who's accusing Adam
Schiff of green lighting a leak of classified information in
order to damage Trump during the Russia Gate investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The source recalled the following. In the meeting, Shifts.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
Stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory
to President of the United States Donald J.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Trump.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
Shifts stated the information would be used to indict President Trump.
Someone stated this would be illegal, and upon hearing his concerns,
an unnamed member of the meeting reassured that certain someone
they would not be caught leaking classified information.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No weather ever going to get caught woots.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
FBI Director Cash Pattel posted, we found it. We declassified it.
Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to
shape political narratives and decide if our institutions were weaponized
against the am Mayamerican people. Shift is saying, no, no, no, no,
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wit a minute. I'm
not guilty of leaking classified information. Those baseless smears are
based on allegations that were found to be not reliable,
(18:10):
not credible, and uncnstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer who
was fired by the House Intel Committee for cause in
twenty seventeen, including for harassment and potentially compromising activity on
official travel for the committee. You want me to think
about official travel for the Committe when I'm sitting here
concerned about you leaking classified information? Joining me now, George
(18:31):
Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley,
Professor's great to see you here today. Leaking classified information.
That's a potentially very serious charge, is it not.
Speaker 15 (18:42):
It doesn't get much more serious than that. The Chairman
of the House Intel Committee doesn't have declassification authority over
these types of documents. They are made available to Congress
under very tightly controlled rules. This has been a source
of tension for years, and members of both parties have
gone out of their way to assure that this material
(19:04):
would be closely held and not weaponized. Shift was viewed
it is one of the most political chairs of that
committee in its history, and this is an truly chilling
account if true. Now, when I first read it, frankly,
I was taken aback because it's perfectly moronic to commit
such a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff.
(19:31):
That's not usually how things are leaked in Washington, d C.
What makes this different, will is that this was a
statement made to FBI agents. The person who made this
statement was no doubt aware that lyning to FBI agents
is not just a crime, but a crime that was
repeatedly prosecuted during prior administrations, including the Obama and Biden administrations.
(19:56):
So making this statement puts you at risk. That's why
someone's lying here, and someone's a fellon.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
The question now is do you believe Adam Schiff or
is Adam Schiff the felon and maybe the liar all
at the same time. We're going to keep covering this one.
I can promise you that it is Democrats' biggest fear.
Law and order returning state by state and states now
working with the Trump administration and ICE officials. Specifically, we
(20:29):
now have three states that have signed a new agreement
with ICE for quote expanded immigration enforcement operations. These three
states include West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, all signing
the agreements with the Department of Homeland Securities, US Immigration
(20:49):
and Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say, ramp up immigration
enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was the first one one.
The governor there, Patrick Morsey, announce a robust collaboration under
Section two eight seven G of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
(21:11):
This agreement enlists the West Virginia State Police, Corrections and
Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard to assist ICE in
immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an a legal immigrant, you
don't want to be in West Virginia right now now.
Under this task force structure, officers can quote interrogate anyone
(21:33):
suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number two process immigration
violations for individuals already rested for other offenses. Three conduct
warrantless arrests if an individual is seen and suspected to
be a flight risk pending a warrant, four serve immigration warrants,
(21:56):
administer oas, collect fingerprints and gas their evidence, and five
issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional facilities before
transferring them to ICE custy under federal supervision. You look
at what has happened in South Dakota. The governor there,
(22:16):
as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder, a public
safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota Highway Patrols
support ICE, with the rest announcing it today. The National
Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks as well,
and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees, identify
(22:37):
undocumented individuals within state prisons and parole them into ICE custody.
You then move to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former
White House pre Secretary under Donald Trump, signing the Defense
Against Criminal Illegals Act, which definitively increases penalties for undocumented
(22:59):
immigrants can to violent crimes, again saying to legal immigrants,
you don't want to be in Arkansas. It also, with
this new agreement allows sheriffs to apply for the two
eight seven G authority to serve immigration warrants on those
already in custody, and Sarah Huckebee Center's announcing this enables
(23:20):
the Arkansas State Police to stop individuals in public inquire
about immigration status and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now,
if you think they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example,
in Arkansas, there is training required, a forty hour online
course covering scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues,
(23:45):
as well as liability. Doing this in a responsible way.
Now you may be asking what is ICE two to
eight seven G program. Well, let me explain to you
the broader context of how this is being used by
the Trump administration. The program enables state and local officers
after ICE provided training, to carry out certain immigration enforcement
(24:08):
duties under ICE supervision. That is why there's a collaboration
here and why they are having to sign on to
the program.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
As of August thirteenth, ICE has executed eight hundred and
ninety seven agreements across forty states, including various models such
as jail enforcement, warrant service, and task force operations.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
The Trump administration has.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Significantly accelerated these partnerships, growing from around one hundred and
thirty five to over seven hundred agreements in early twenty
twenty five alone.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Of course, the left.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Is going insane, warning that the surge is a risk
to quote civil rights community trust and invites, they say,
racial profiling, even though none of these programs have anything
to do with that. Now, you also may be asking yourself,
why am I not quoting the president right now when
I'm telling you about this initiative. Well, the President clearly
(25:09):
is playing chess on the issue. In fact, the White
House has had no public statement or reaction regarding these
specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, mainly
because they want this to be clearly seen as state
led that these governors are opting in. And that is
exactly why the administration is being so successful in getting
(25:32):
this done with so many different agreements, because they're not grandstanding.
They're just trying to fight crime, and it's clearly working.
I want you also take a listen to West Virginia's
governor responding to the Trump administration's position on immigration enforcement
and entering into this agreement and what he says it's
going to do for his state, and also why so
(25:53):
many other states should get involved.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
We always thought that when you're talking about Biden border disorder,
which is what occurred for four years, the best way
to deal with it is to have a partnership between
the states and the federal government. Now you're seeing that
with the Trump administration, which is incredible. So West Virginia
has actually entered into the two eighty seven g program,
(26:16):
and so we're working hand in hand with ICE to
identify illegal aliens and make sure that they can get deported.
And this is really important to do because, as President
Trump said yesterday, when you actually remove a lot of
these illegal aliens from the system, you're going to see
a reduction in crime. That there are a number of
people we found it even in West Virginia, murderers, attempted murder,
(26:40):
sexual assaults, all different types of crime. None of the
states need it.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Now we have a.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Partnership with the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
And it's fabulous.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
I know that I've talked to a Homeland Security Secretary,
Christy Nome. I've praised her for her or we're trying
to work together with them because it takes states working
with the government to make sure that we're kind of
reasserting our position and stopping all the horrific consequences of
what happened with the illegal immigrants coming in. I know
(27:11):
in West Virginia we really felt the impact of that
through the massive amount of death that flowed from fetanyl
that flooded into our state, originally from China, went through
the Mexican drug cartels, made its way into the US.
I think you're seeing a very different and a much
more successful approach, and I'm glad that our state is
(27:31):
a part of that.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
One of the most important things that was said there
by the West Virginia governor was how he said West
Virginia had quote become an effective border state due to
the massive fetno problem caused by illegal immigration. The fetno
outbreak in West Virginia has been catastrophic, especially on young people.
(27:53):
This is one of the reasons why the governor said
he's so eager to work with ICE because of how
many lives he believes he's going to be able to save. Now,
the National Guard and the State police will have quote
task force authority, and that is going to be huge
and going after the drug traffickers. Why it gives them
the authority to interrogate any person they believe to be
(28:16):
an illegal immigrant as to his right to remain in
the US now under the supervision or direction of the
federal government, meaning ICE agents officers will also be able
to process immigration related violations for those arrested for state
or federal offenses. This is going to allow the governor
(28:39):
and his team to actually be able to do what
they need to do. It also allows for them to
have quote, warrantless arrests of any illegal immigrant in the
officer's presence or view if that person is believed to
be a flight risk in the interim of obtaining a warrant.
So the governor they are authorizing this state law enforcement
(29:01):
to serve immigration warrants, administer os, and collect evidence for
required alien processing. This will allow for fingerprinting and suspect
interviews to be done.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Now. This is also going to have a.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Huge impact just on the psyche of illegal immigrants and
cartel members in West Virginia because now they understand that
virtually anyone in law enforcement now can do the job
they need to do to find out who they are
and stop them, something that was not happening under the
Biden regime. And that's why the President's being pretty quiet
(29:36):
about this because it's happening in real time and he's
letting the governors lead in these states. Don't forget Share
