George Brauchler joins Ryan with his perspective on the largest fentanyl bust in Colorado history, and one of the largest ever nationwide, as 1.7 million pills are discovered by a good Samaritan at a storage unit in Highlands Ranch.
George also offers an impassioned response to Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) and other members of Congress who have served in the armed forces issuing a video calling on those in the military to openly defy 'illegal' orders given to them by the Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of War.
U.S. House delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) defends receiving texts from Jeffrey Epstein, 'who at the time was my constituent' during a live congressional hearing in 2019. How could there be ANY excuse for interacting with a man who was a known sex offender at the time?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Largest single seizure of fentanyl in Colorado history, happening in
Highland's Ranch on the west side of Highland's Ranch. It's
also the sixth largest ever in the entire country.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
One point seven million pills of meth and more taken
off of the streets. Foxer Once Jim Willie joined a
slide at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office this morning, and
how this whole thing went down is pretty interesting because
it wasn't some extensive operation how they found all these pills.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Jim, No, it wasn't like one of these top secret,
year long, undercovered investigations.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
You're right, Andrew.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It was just some good, honest citizen who made a
phone call and contacted Sheriff's office down here and said, hey,
guess what I have found.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
This is incredible. I mean, here's what's happening out here
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
At one point seven million pentoon all pills discovered, that's incredible.
But it turns out this massive fall was discovered by
someone who bought the storage unit at an auction. They
checked out the unit insign They immediately called the Douglas
County Sheriff's office when they found out what they had
in there, and even the investigators on the scene with
their body cameras were shocked when they laid their eyes
on all the contents inside and the massive amount of
(01:03):
illegal drugs they found inside.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Here laid out before you is the Colorado state record
for a single caesar a fentanyl and estimated one point
seven million counterfeit fentanyl pills along with an additional twelve
kilograms or fentanyl powder.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Now, investigators said that that fence and all was sitting
in the storage locker, that storage locker for months because
that locker actually belonged to a drug courier that was
linked to a cartel, and the deea tails of that courier,
was arrested back in April, and the sheriff down here
in Douglass County, Darren Weekly, says that he really wanted
to thank the man who bought that auction or bought
that storagelocker at the auction and did make that call.
(01:43):
He said that man made a very brave move and
probably saved lives down here in Douglass County, all across
the Denver area, all across Colorado, and all across the
country as well. All of that very possible because of
one phone.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Call that was made.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
One point seven million pills found in that storage socker
live down in Douglas County.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I'm sureing whold that.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm from Fox thirty one one point seven million fentanyl
pills in a storage unit in Highland's Ranch and that
marks Colorado's largest drug seizure ever. Joining us now the
twenty third district attorney in that region, George Brockler.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
George, appreciate your time as always.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Thanks for having me on Ryan.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is an interesting series of events happenstance to start with,
but I want to get you to fill in the
details here where they may be lacking in this story,
most notably with that courier who may have been linked
to these pills.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
What can you tell us about.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
That This particular case, although it happened in Highland's Ranch
in terms of the seizure, actually traces back to prosecutions
that are taking place in different places. One up in
Adams County, and I think you probably read online that
have a guy in custody who's been there for months
(03:03):
that they believe is linked to this. He is that
courier that they're talking about. And then there's an ongoing
prosecution of another member of this I'm gonna say dto
drug trafficking operation or organization down in New Mexico by
the US Attorney's office. So this is something that has
been worked on for a long time, but I don't
(03:24):
think anybody anticipated this kind of a find. And when
you look at this case, you know, we're cheering on
law enforcement. We're cheering on the good Samaritan person, who,
by the way, deserves about ninety nine point nine percent
of the credit here in what they did. But the
scariest parts of this are twofold. One. This isn't Highland's ranch.
(03:47):
This is where the largest bust so far of fentanyl
pills has been discovered is in sleepy Highland's Ranch, in
the middle of super safe Douglas County. That should give
people some concern. And then the second part of this
is this didn't end the sentinel trade here in Colorado.
It didn't even truly disrupt the drug trade here in
(04:10):
the metro area. All it did was temporarily decrease the
supply enough that the per pill value on the street
went up by a little bit. And that's only temporary too,
because just like water Man these DTOs will find a
way to fill in the gaps and get back to
where they were before. Those are the scariest parts of this.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'm just looking at Fox News right now and border
patrols seizing two point six million dollars worth of a
meth shipment in Laredo, Texas as well. So this seems
to be part of a trend. George Brockler joining us. George,
I apologize in advance for asking a question that you
may not know the answer too, but maybe you do.
You kind of touched on it a little bit there.
(04:51):
But when we're talking about this amount one point seven
million fentanyl pills, do you have any estimation as to
the approximate street value of that?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
I don't. In fact, the best guy for that would
be a dude named Dave Aleski, who is the special
Agent in charge of the DEEA out here. He's a
super cop. He's also a Douglas County resident, by the way,
which tells you. I mean, this is a guy who's
who's voted with his feet to come to the safest
county in the metro area, and he's discovering these things
in his own county, which is crazy. I don't know
(05:25):
what the street value of these pills are. They fluctuate.
I know from his press conference that they have temporarily elevated,
but beyond that, I don't know what the total value
this was. But let me suggest this too for people
that don't know. It's because sentyl is so powerful. It's
so powerful, only about two milligrams are necessary to be
(05:47):
a lethal dose. Two milligrams And if you'll recall what
our offender friendly legislature did back in twenty nineteen, is
it defelonized the possession of fentanyl, so that if you
possessed from one to four grams, so the ability to
kill about two thousand people, that was just a misdemeanor.
(06:07):
Then the Denver metro area in Colorado planted thousands of
bodies in the ground as a result of fentyl overdose.
There was an outcry, and the offender Friendly Legislature's response
was to say, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Up to at least.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
One gram of this poison can be a misdemeanor, and
then beyond that it can be a super watered down, weak,
hard to prosecute felony. And so we're at a place
right now where we are struggling to find the tools
to give law enforcement to be aggressive on this. There's
a press conference tomorrow you may be tracking this, Ryan,
(06:41):
that's going to take place on the steps of the
Car Building. That's where the Supreme Court and the Attorney
General who's been silent on fentanyl for years, that's where
they live. And there's going to be a press conference
to reveal that two hundred thousand Colorados have put their
signatures on a petition to put on the ballot for
US next November, a toughening of these laws to make
(07:02):
mandatory prison for these poison pedlars. And it's really a
rebuke to the legislature. It is in essence saying, we've
given you an opportunity to try to protect us, to
try to help law enforcement. You've failed. We're taken over
and I love that for our stake.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
George Brockler, twenty third DA joining us here. George.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It's part of a broader issue and problem with our
Colorado Legislature and the General Assembly because feentanyl's wont a
part of it. And you'll be speaking to this, as
you mentioned at the Capitol, trying to introduce this new
fetanyl bill or getting it on the ballot. The legislature
has failed us on this front. But it's two other
fronts too that you and I have discussed, and that
is child rape being watered down in how we handle
(07:45):
offenders and criminals, the sentencing, the punishment, the consequences for that.
And then also with this ridiculous this is the one
that drives me the most nuts.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And maybe you two this moving standard.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Moving the goalpost on competency, even some Republicans signed on
to I still can't get wrap my head around that
where people like Solomon Gallaghan can get off the hook
because well, they weren't competent to stand trial that day.
So that's just three fronts, George, in which our state
has gone soft on crime become a haven for criminals.
(08:18):
Can you tell us the real effects that has in
this state on law enforcement and on your office and
the district attorney.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
There's so many things that this legislature has done over
the past decade to take tools out of the toolbox
of law enforcement and to make it harder to engage
in meaningful public safety. And they've done it in exchange
for I think a warm, fuzzy feeling you get when
you're on the left of what you might call compassion
(08:47):
for those people who victimize us. And so you know
you will hear I heard this the bill you first
brought up, there was a bill that was offered by
Brandy Bradley and Regina English, bipartisan bill. One's Republican, one's
a Democrat to say something as simple as if you
rape a child a single time, maybe you ought to
go to prison, right like you should not get to
go home after that conviction. During that hearing, members of
(09:12):
the Democrat Party who fill the House Judiciary Committee said
things like, I'm opposed to caging people. I would never
support any bill that mandated prison. Now, you don't even
have to get down the road far enough to say
that means that you don't think murderers ought to go
to prison either. But that's the mindset that they have.
Extrapolate that now to the competency thing, because it's the
(09:35):
same approach, and that approach is nobody should be held
in custody simply because they're incompetent. Now, that may make
a lot of sense at that heartstring level, but the
problem that creates is when the system grabs up someone
who later claims to be incompetent. It's not just because
they're walking around the street talking to lamp posts. It's
(09:55):
because they've engaged in criminal behavior, many times violent criminal behavior.
And what we're seeing here, especially on lower level charges,
because of the change and the laws, it becomes a
revolving door. We provide absolutely no services to the incompetent.
We do nothing to limit their ability to drive a car,
by a gun, by alcohol, nothing like that. We put
(10:16):
them back out onto the street. Like, for instance, we
have a repeat offender shoplifter. She goes in, she shoplifts,
she gets arrested, she comes to court, she gets the
public defender, we pay for that. She claims to be incompetent.
She sent for a review, comes back, she's incompetent, unlikely
to be restored, and they dismissed the case and put
her right back out into the mall. This is not
(10:37):
a formula for public safety. It's not even a formula
for helping someone who has mental illness. This legislature has
failed repeatedly. And my guess is based on what I've
talked to with the legislators out here, that this is
going to be a hold my beer moment for the
Dems this legislative cycle.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
George Brockler DA in the twenty third joining us talking
about this record one point seven million fentanyl pills seizure
in Highlands Ranch from a storage unit and a good
Samarian and who reported it. And I want to kind
of tie everything together on this case, George, because you
mentioned that it's going to come out of Adams County
(11:16):
where this courier will be held and tried.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
But I have to believe in the state.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Of Colorado, with your position and those of many others,
it is so important that there's some level of coordination, cooperation,
and especially on this front because it's such a crisis
in America, with particular regard to fentanyl. Can you walk
us through that process a little bit into terms of
how that coordination, how that cooperation will take place.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Well, it starts really at the front end. So for instance,
there are law enforcement organizations will call them task forces,
and they have various names, and they cover various niches
within crime. For instance, we have a brand new IKAC
Internet Crimes against Children Task Force and it's made up
of members of law enforcement experts in their area from
(12:03):
various agencies. There's a similar one for drugs.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
That are out here.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
And so there's the Safe Streets Task Force, there's other
Front Range task Force, and they have people from the
federal level, state level, and local level who contribute these
subject matter experts in drug trafficking organizations and they go
where the big drugs are and they try to nail this. So,
for instance, we have a member from our DA's office,
(12:28):
one of our investigators is in one of these task forces,
and this is what they exist for, is to go
down and hunt drug dealers and to try to figure
out a way to get as much of this poison
off the street as possible. So the coordination begins at
the very front level. And then as you begin to
unroll this drug trafficking organization, agencies will go to either
(12:49):
the US Attorney's office or local DA's offices and say
things like we want to get up on a wire,
we want to pop up on their phones. And of
course the bad guys, by the way, are getting crafty
or craftiard how to be these with burners and other
modes of communication. But then you start to have a
conversation about who's going to get us the wire tap
first and easiest, and by and large, we're just faster
(13:10):
at it than the Feds. Then as the case comes in,
they've monitored the wire, they've made the bus, a discussion
will be had who can get the most bang for
their buck from their system. The Feds right now have
a huge hammer when it comes to drug dealing in
drug possession, if only because Colorado has watered down our
laws so much. It's very difficult to find something that
(13:31):
would encourage someone to come forward with, Hey, here's the
person I report to, here's the person that I deal with,
and you try to get as much of this organization
as possible so you can disrupt the flow. All the
time realizing that this process was made really almost impossible
up until Trump came back into office because we had
to pour a southern border. Right now, because the border
(13:54):
is more secure than it's been in decades, it is harder,
not impossible at all, by the way, harder for the
drug dealers to get their drugs imported into the country
and to move them around. So we're probably having more
impact with what we've been doing for years now than
we did under the previous administration.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
He's the district attorney in the twenty third George Brockler
joining us. He's also a colonel in the Army National Guard,
and George, I gotta get your take on this because
there is a local tie into one of the voices
you will hear here. I'm ashamed to call on my
own Congressman the sixth Congressional District, Jason Crowe. He did
serve as an Army ranger, along with everybody else Democrat.
(14:33):
In this video you'll hear the sound from but it's
just chilling to me what they are asking members of
our military.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And the CIA to do here. Give it a listen.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
I'm Senator Alissa Sookins, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Congressman Maggie good Landers, Representative Christy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe.
I was a captain in the United States Navy.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger,
former intelligence officer.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Former Air Force.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
We want to speak directly to members of the military.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
And the intelligence community to take risks each day keep
Americans safe.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Americans trust their military, but that trust.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Is at risk.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
This administration is pitting our uniform military.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Like us, you all swore an oath protect and of
them this constitution.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
from a broad but from right here at home.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You
can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that
we have your back, because now more than ever.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
The American people need you.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution,
and who.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
We are as Americans.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Don't give up.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Don't give up. Don't give up.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Don't give up the ship now, George, This obviously has
to do with the ice raids and deportations that are
in place for which Donald Trump won a mandate a
majority not only in the electoral College, but in the
popular vote. And these members of Congress, both the Senate
and the House, are asking those who serve to openly
(16:24):
defy orders from the President of the United States, from
the Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth and saying that these
are illegal orders?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Who are they to say that?
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Brian, let me give this this clamor up front. It's true.
I'm still serving in uniform for our state and our country,
but none of these comments that I'm about to make
should be attributed to that position. It has nothing to
do with that. I'm speaking to you as a member
of this community, as an American citizen and as a veteran,
but not tied at all to anything I do with
our Guarden uniform. I've never seen anything like this. I
(16:59):
think it is reprehensible and embarrassing for these people to
come out and say this. First off, so that people understand,
every single member, man or woman in our uniform services
gets training at the front end on their legal obligations
in terms of following lawful orders and even not following
unlawful orders. So this isn't like some new information that hey,
(17:21):
we're obligated to put out there. But secondly, this military
functions the way it does because of trust in the
chain of command. This is what we rely upon in
peacetime it's what we rely upon in wartime, and that's
what we rely upon right now in sort of that
gray area where we have these simmering conflicts that exist
(17:42):
and these near peer competitors like China right at our doorstep.
And for these elected officials, and I don't give a
damn who they claim they worked for, serve for what
they did in uniform to inject doubt into that chain
of command and to suggest, even subtly, if not overtly,
that the orders they are being given should be questioned
(18:03):
by them as to their legality, and thus cause them
to disobey the chain of command. This has made us weaker.
And if you look at who's done this, these are
people who did it for political gain, all elected officials
who are looking for some position in the Democrat Party.
These are people who are here to damage us, not
(18:24):
to help us. It is embarrassing. And Jason Crow, by
the way, who I've stood up for, not because.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Of his positions.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
I disagree with him. That dude's a legit patriot and
that he deployed to war twice that should matter to
everybody independent of party. But this thing he did yesterday
and making himself part of this is embarrassing. He owes
an apology to the men and women of the military.
He owes an apology to the command, even if he
doesn't like the president. This kind of thing is what
(18:52):
causes the kind of strife. You know, who cheers this
kind of garbage on the Chinese putin. They're sitting around
retweeting this to each other in the Kremlin and back
in Beijing, giving each other high fives. This is exactly
the kind of crap that they want, and the fact
that it came from an elected official from Colorado is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Very well, said Dan the twenty third, George Brockler joining us,
Thank you so much for your time, George, and thank
you for your passion and your patriotic service to this country.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Thanks buddy, color you soon your.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Reaction at five seven, seven, three nine. So thankful for
George Brockler's time. Rarely have I heard him that fired up.
But this video, it's insidious, It is disgusting, as he said,
is it an act of treason? Sedition? Your thoughts when
we come back, mor Ryan Schruing live after.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
This, the Supreme Court just cleared the way for Trump
to deport illegals, even faster. The High Court rule that
Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuela
and gang bangers to a mega prison in El Salvador.
This is a huge ruling in Trump's favor and a
major win for the country after as you know, DC
Judge James Boseburg ordered a stop to the deportations, So
(20:06):
this is pretty significant. These deportations, Caroline can keep going.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
This is a massive legal victory, Jesse, a massive victory
for law and order and for our constitutional republic in
the sovereignty of the United States of America.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
We called on.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
The Supreme Court to reign in these activist judges like
Judge Boseburg, who was completely out of line and trying
to say that the President didn't have the executive authority
to deport foreign terrorists off of our soil. We have
always maintained the position at the White House that the
President was well within his constitutional authority to do so,
and this decision proves that President Trump in our administration
(20:45):
have always been right from the beginning. He will continue
to utilize the Alien Enemies Act to remove foreign terrorists
and trendy Iragua members, vicious gang members from American communities.
And because of this ruling, the United States of America
is a much safer place. Our team will get to
work tomorrow to deport these heinous, violent foreign terrorists from
(21:07):
our neighborhoods.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
HiT's just keep on coming.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The w's keep piling up for President Trump and his administration.
This was another one, as Caroline Levitt, Press Secretary telling
Jesse Waters on his program last night Fox News, a
five to four Scotis decision allowing President Trump to issue
mass deportations per the seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act.
(21:31):
Now we're talking about the worst of the worst here,
but this Judge Boseburg himself appears to be the worst
of the worst when it comes to the judiciary. And
this is all the Democrats have left. This is all
the Left has remaining. Think about this. They have lost
the Supreme Court by either a six y three or
in this case, of five to four margin. I haven't
even looked at the decision. I'm guessing the one kind
(21:54):
of watery justice that may have gone over with the
three libs on the court was Chief Justice Roberts. That's
just a guess. I'm wrong, Please correct me. But either way,
a strong majority on the Supreme Court, three of which
those justices appointed by President Trump himself in Gorsicchkavanaugh, Andy Cony, Barrett,
and then you have the two elites on the bench
(22:17):
Alito and Clarence Thomas. Of course, and by and large
there have been a few wavering decisions by I think
each one of the Trump justices, least of which Gorsich,
most of which Barrett here and there Cavanaugh, But again
by and large, on the big things, they've gotten it right,
and they got this one right. And what this does
(22:37):
is it dovetails off of our conversation with George Brockler
in the previous segment.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
The Democrats are losing. The Democrats are failing.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The Democrats are flailing because they have been separated from
the levers of power in Washington, the Supreme Court being
just one of those. Also, of course, in the Congress,
both the House and the Senate as a stands right now,
this is why the midterms are going to be so
important in twenty twenty six. Obviously the presidency and you're
(23:07):
seeing this culture shift take place. So what are they
left with the left Democrats elected Democrats, Well, all that
is left to them are these rogue judges in liberal jurisdictions,
blue cities, mostly blue states, issuing these stays, these temporary
(23:28):
injunctions against Trump policies, and eventually those are overturned, and
I believe that will be the case.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
And several others that are pending right now.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
For instance, the Texas reapportionment decision made through legal channels
and means, through the state legislature and signed into law
by the governor of.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
That state, Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Let's put it this way, Texas can do it if
California can do it, And they did it by emergency
ballot measure feeat overturning an earlier ballot measure in the
state of California to reapportion their congressional districts. So this
is just a war of attrition, maybe in some ways.
But the Republicans were able to get their map through
(24:11):
in Texas and a judge, an intermediary level judge, decided
to block that, a panel of judges I believe, two
to one.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
But that will be appealed.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
By Texas to the Supreme Court of the United States
and their checkmate it on the chessboard. Think about any
direction they turn when it comes to that ultimately ends
at the Supreme Court of the United States, which at
least by a five to four margin, is going to
rule in an originalist fashion, in a textual fashion, in
order to interpret law rather than make law from the bench.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
The Constitution may in.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Fact be a living, breathing thing, but it is amended
through acts of Congress. That's how the Constitution changes, not
by fiat of unelected judges and justices which liberal appoint
to the bench believe that they have the power to do.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
And that was the very basis of Roe v. Wade.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It was legislation from the bench of the Supreme Court
of the United States in an broad interpretation of equal
protection rights under the law, which certainly did not apply
to the developing fetus in the wombs. So you had
that overturned by this current Supreme Court. So now you're
you have these democrats like Slotkin, Jason Crow, Mark Kelly,
(25:31):
these others that are involved in this video that George
Brockler responded so poignantly passionately too, in which they are
openly calling for members of our armed services, the CIA,
the bureaucracies which they used to control, to openly defy
orders given to them by the commander in chief, the
(25:52):
President of the United States, the duly elected commander in
chief President of the United States Donald Trump, and pointed
Secretary of Defense now called Secretary of War Pete Hagseef.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
They are out of line, they are out of order.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
As George Brockler, they threaten the very chain of command
and the respect for that chain of command that is
incumbent upon the military to maintain in order to maintain
order among the ranks. They are calling basically for mass chaos,
for each individual soldier, airman, sailor every service member in
our American military to all of a sudden exercise their
(26:30):
own political judgment in the moment and say, I don't
think the order I've just been given is constitutional, is legal.
It's an illegal order. And this just contributes to confusion
among the ranks. You cannot have that when lives are
on the line, and the people in that video should
(26:51):
know it best. And the sad part, the infuriating part,
is that they do know better. But as George points out,
they are using this moment as a political cudgel.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's a political power grab to try to establish a
foothold in some form of relevancy for them within their
own party, which is run amuck, which is off the rails.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
The Republicans we have problems too, don't get me real.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
We do. But the Democrats right now, they can't decide
who they are. They can't articulate to the American people
what they stand for, who they represent, what are their
foundational principles and values. They don't know because they've allowed
the far left, the democratic socialist wing, the communist wing
within their own party to commander or control of the vehicle.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
You can look at AOC, you can do.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That whole meme of her turning to Chuck Schumer saying,
I'm the captain now, because that's the truth. There is
another element that is troubling coming out today, and what
I love about a few and it's a handful, unfortunately,
Ofuplicans in Congress, specifically the House. And I'm talking about
our own Representative Lauren Bolbert. I'm talking about Representative Anna
(28:07):
Paulina Luna from Florida, a touches congresswoman, by the way,
my buddy down there in Saint Pete, and then Representative
Nancy Mace. They're not blinking. There is some kind of
shadowy deal that's been made behind the scenes. That is
a power arrangement between Speaker Johnson not very happy with
(28:29):
him right now, a minority leader Jeffries. That is allowing
this Delegate Stacy Plaskett, Democrat virgin Islands, not even a
voting member of Congress, to get off the hook because
during a congressional hearing she received a text directly from
in real time Jeffrey Epstein. And now the powers that
(28:50):
be within the House are trying to draw some kind
of moral equivocation between that taking place in a congressional
hearing in real time and this disgraced congressman in Florida.
I believe his name's Corey Mills. Have I've got that
right that Johnson. Speaker Johnson was willing to make a
deal if there would be no further pursuit of a
(29:12):
censure of Corey Mills, then he'd call off.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
The wolves on plasket. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No Republican in power, especially with the speaker's gabble, should
be in position to make that kind of deal. Bending
over backwards, and Representative Nancy Mace has brought to the floor,
she is absolutely threading the needle here saying no no, no, wait, wait,
let's go ahead and sends your mills our own guy,
because no, you don't protect your own Whatever he did,
(29:43):
that's his problem. Doesn't mean we derail ourselves as Republicans
represented in the Congress, especially in the House, that's the
people's House. To let Delegate Stacy Plasket skate and we'll
get into the details of that, we come back at this.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm Ryan Schuling live.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
And I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at
the time was my constituent, who was not public knowledge
at that time that he was under federal investigation, and.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Who was sharing.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Information with me.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh, Delegate Stacy Plaskett, not a voting member of Congress
in the House, but just kind of there in a
token roll. Democrat Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico gets swan, District
of Columbia gets one.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Glom gets one, but they don't get to vote on
bills and such.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But she did serve on a committee and during a
congressional hearing was getting fed texts by Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
This is not a good look. Now, I will admit
I have texted.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Let's say, Representative Lauren Bobert during the State of the Union,
and she had that altercation at one point with President Biden,
and I was kind of talking or about that. But
you know, I'm a member of the media. I'm a
show host. She comes on this program, that's open knowledge.
I know that Dan Bongino has texted with her at
times she's participating in congressional hearings, and he's very well informed.
(31:15):
What does Jeffrey Epstein bring to the table having that
kind of access to Delegate Plasket during a congressional hearing.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
She says he wasn't. She's really getting squeaky with the
language here.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It had been at least a decade, if not longer,
that he had been, in fact charged at the state
level with contributing to the delinquency of a miner, with
solicitation of miners for sex. That was on the record,
that was on the books at the state level. Now,
I don't understand how this is defensible, but one of
(31:50):
the least intelligent members of Congress did come to her defense.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
This is just sad.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
Well, they want to give them another headline, which is
that they've arraigned a Democratic member for taking a phone
call from her constituent. Just a constituent Jeffrey Epstein in
the hearing, And of course I don't think there's any
rule here against taking phone posts.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I'm in a hearing.
Speaker 10 (32:14):
Well, you want to actually give her the chance to
explain what happened, then we would take it to the
ethics committee. I still don't see what the charge is.
Where is the ethical transgression? Where is the legal transgression?
Are you saying anybody on your side at the ile
who had a phone call with Jeffrey Epstein should be censured?
Be careful your answer there, because there's a lot more
(32:35):
that's about to come out, right, So you should think
about what is the principle behind this rush to judgment?
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Now on that last part, yeah, let it all burn.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Anybody who had ties Jeffrey Epstein, especially once they knew
the kind of cretin he was. Let them burn. I
don't care if there's an R next to their name
or a D, doesn't matter to me. Flush them out,
smoke them out. That was the whole point of this
process and exercise why Lauren Bobert had the moral clarity
and she was right all along on all of it.
(33:05):
But there are so very few and that's what troubles
me most. Getting this some tax five seven to seven
three nine. Stephen Lyttleton retired Elio. In my view, seditious
comments like those Crow made devalue whatever service he previously
performed for America. Steve, I think that's in slight contrast
to what George Brockler said. Say, hey, Crow was an
Army ranger, he did serve in combat. Does there credit
(33:28):
for that? I do agree with that, But does it
undermine these comments? Does it undermine his previous service? Absolutely, Steve,
you are correct. Ryan, thank George Brockler for his patriotic
comments against Democrats who are past military personnel. I will
pass that along and you bet, and I think to
myself as well. Three chairs for g brock for his
(33:49):
very succinct words. I served under Ronald Reagan's as this
text in my twenty two year Air Force career. He
is turning over in his grave right now, at a minimum.
But these Congress Deep said was sedition. A synonym for
sedition is insurrection. I will call their words treasonous. They
should be removed from office asap. That's from the real
(34:10):
Ralph as opposed to the fake one. And then finally
this one, Ryan mark Levin refers to their Democratic Party
as the Democrat Communist Party. If the hammer and sickle
fit wear them ps, yes, they got my Dan turup. Well,
they've given in to that extremist wing of their party.
I mean, gone are the days when John Fetterman might
have been the conscience of the Democratic Party, might have
(34:31):
been the heartbeat, might have been kind of a centrist
figure with a broader Democratic Party that had some to
the left, some.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
To the middle.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
He's one of the few remaining that are legitimately in
the middle, the center left. Everybody else is either captive
to the far left or part of the far left.
And if you're captive to them, aren't you really part
of them? Jennifer say xxxy athletics next on Ryan Schuling Live.
Largest single seizure of fentanyl in Colorado history, happening in
Highland's Ranch on the west side of Highland's Ranch. It's
also the sixth largest ever in the entire country.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
One point seven million pills of meth and more taken
off of the streets. Foxer Once Jim Willie joined a
slide at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office this morning, and
how this whole thing went down is pretty interesting because
it wasn't some extensive operation how they found all these pills.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Jim, No, it wasn't like one of these top secret,
year long, undercovered investigations.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
You're right, Andrew.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It was just some good, honest citizen who made a
phone call and contacted Sheriff's office down here and said, hey,
guess what I have found.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
This is incredible. I mean, here's what's happening out here
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
At one point seven million pentoon all pills discovered, that's incredible.
But it turns out this massive fall was discovered by
someone who bought the storage unit at an auction. They
checked out the unit insign They immediately called the Douglas
County Sheriff's office when they found out what they had
in there, and even the investigators on the scene with
their body cameras were shocked when they laid their eyes
on all the contents inside and the massive amount of
(01:03):
illegal drugs they found inside.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Here laid out before you is the Colorado state record
for a single caesar a fentanyl and estimated one point
seven million counterfeit fentanyl pills along with an additional twelve
kilograms or fentanyl powder.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Now, investigators said that that fence and all was sitting
in the storage locker, that storage locker for months because
that locker actually belonged to a drug courier that was
linked to a cartel, and the deea tails of that courier,
was arrested back in April, and the sheriff down here
in Douglass County, Darren Weekly, says that he really wanted
to thank the man who bought that auction or bought
that storagelocker at the auction and did make that call.
(01:43):
He said that man made a very brave move and
probably saved lives down here in Douglass County, all across
the Denver area, all across Colorado, and all across the
country as well. All of that very possible because of
one phone.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Call that was made.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
One point seven million pills found in that storage socker
live down in Douglas County.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I'm sureing whold that.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm from Fox thirty one one point seven million fentanyl
pills in a storage unit in Highland's Ranch and that
marks Colorado's largest drug seizure ever. Joining us now the
twenty third district attorney in that region, George Brockler.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
George, appreciate your time as always.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Thanks for having me on Ryan.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is an interesting series of events happenstance to start with,
but I want to get you to fill in the
details here where they may be lacking in this story,
most notably with that courier who may have been linked
to these pills.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
What can you tell us about.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
That This particular case, although it happened in Highland's Ranch
in terms of the seizure, actually traces back to prosecutions
that are taking place in different places. One up in
Adams County, and I think you probably read online that
have a guy in custody who's been there for months
(03:03):
that they believe is linked to this. He is that
courier that they're talking about. And then there's an ongoing
prosecution of another member of this I'm gonna say dto
drug trafficking operation or organization down in New Mexico by
the US Attorney's office. So this is something that has
been worked on for a long time, but I don't
(03:24):
think anybody anticipated this kind of a find. And when
you look at this case, you know, we're cheering on
law enforcement. We're cheering on the good Samaritan person, who,
by the way, deserves about ninety nine point nine percent
of the credit here in what they did. But the
scariest parts of this are twofold. One. This isn't Highland's ranch.
(03:47):
This is where the largest bust so far of fentanyl
pills has been discovered is in sleepy Highland's Ranch, in
the middle of super safe Douglas County. That should give
people some concern. And then the second part of this
is this didn't end the sentinel trade here in Colorado.
It didn't even truly disrupt the drug trade here in
(04:10):
the metro area. All it did was temporarily decrease the
supply enough that the per pill value on the street
went up by a little bit. And that's only temporary too,
because just like water Man these DTOs will find a
way to fill in the gaps and get back to
where they were before. Those are the scariest parts of this.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'm just looking at Fox News right now and border
patrols seizing two point six million dollars worth of a
meth shipment in Laredo, Texas as well. So this seems
to be part of a trend. George Brockler joining us. George,
I apologize in advance for asking a question that you
may not know the answer too, but maybe you do.
You kind of touched on it a little bit there.
(04:51):
But when we're talking about this amount one point seven
million fentanyl pills, do you have any estimation as to
the approximate street value of that?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
I don't. In fact, the best guy for that would
be a dude named Dave Aleski, who is the special
Agent in charge of the DEEA out here. He's a
super cop. He's also a Douglas County resident, by the way,
which tells you. I mean, this is a guy who's
who's voted with his feet to come to the safest
county in the metro area, and he's discovering these things
in his own county, which is crazy. I don't know
(05:25):
what the street value of these pills are. They fluctuate.
I know from his press conference that they have temporarily elevated,
but beyond that, I don't know what the total value
this was. But let me suggest this too for people
that don't know. It's because sentyl is so powerful. It's
so powerful, only about two milligrams are necessary to be
(05:47):
a lethal dose. Two milligrams And if you'll recall what
our offender friendly legislature did back in twenty nineteen, is
it defelonized the possession of fentanyl, so that if you
possessed from one to four grams, so the ability to
kill about two thousand people, that was just a misdemeanor.
(06:07):
Then the Denver metro area in Colorado planted thousands of
bodies in the ground as a result of fentyl overdose.
There was an outcry, and the offender Friendly Legislature's response
was to say, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Up to at least.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
One gram of this poison can be a misdemeanor, and
then beyond that it can be a super watered down, weak,
hard to prosecute felony. And so we're at a place
right now where we are struggling to find the tools
to give law enforcement to be aggressive on this. There's
a press conference tomorrow you may be tracking this, Ryan,
(06:41):
that's going to take place on the steps of the
Car Building. That's where the Supreme Court and the Attorney
General who's been silent on fentanyl for years, that's where
they live. And there's going to be a press conference
to reveal that two hundred thousand Colorados have put their
signatures on a petition to put on the ballot for
US next November, a toughening of these laws to make
(07:02):
mandatory prison for these poison pedlars. And it's really a
rebuke to the legislature. It is in essence saying, we've
given you an opportunity to try to protect us, to
try to help law enforcement. You've failed. We're taken over
and I love that for our stake.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
George Brockler, twenty third DA joining us here. George.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It's part of a broader issue and problem with our
Colorado Legislature and the General Assembly because feentanyl's wont a
part of it. And you'll be speaking to this, as
you mentioned at the Capitol, trying to introduce this new
fetanyl bill or getting it on the ballot. The legislature
has failed us on this front. But it's two other
fronts too that you and I have discussed, and that
is child rape being watered down in how we handle
(07:45):
offenders and criminals, the sentencing, the punishment, the consequences for that.
And then also with this ridiculous this is the one
that drives me the most nuts.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And maybe you two this moving standard.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Moving the goalpost on competency, even some Republicans signed on
to I still can't get wrap my head around that
where people like Solomon Gallaghan can get off the hook
because well, they weren't competent to stand trial that day.
So that's just three fronts, George, in which our state
has gone soft on crime become a haven for criminals.
(08:18):
Can you tell us the real effects that has in
this state on law enforcement and on your office and
the district attorney.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
There's so many things that this legislature has done over
the past decade to take tools out of the toolbox
of law enforcement and to make it harder to engage
in meaningful public safety. And they've done it in exchange
for I think a warm, fuzzy feeling you get when
you're on the left of what you might call compassion
(08:47):
for those people who victimize us. And so you know
you will hear I heard this the bill you first
brought up, there was a bill that was offered by
Brandy Bradley and Regina English, bipartisan bill. One's Republican, one's
a Democrat to say something as simple as if you
rape a child a single time, maybe you ought to
go to prison, right like you should not get to
go home after that conviction. During that hearing, members of
(09:12):
the Democrat Party who fill the House Judiciary Committee said
things like, I'm opposed to caging people. I would never
support any bill that mandated prison. Now, you don't even
have to get down the road far enough to say
that means that you don't think murderers ought to go
to prison either. But that's the mindset that they have.
Extrapolate that now to the competency thing, because it's the
(09:35):
same approach, and that approach is nobody should be held
in custody simply because they're incompetent. Now, that may make
a lot of sense at that heartstring level, but the
problem that creates is when the system grabs up someone
who later claims to be incompetent. It's not just because
they're walking around the street talking to lamp posts. It's
(09:55):
because they've engaged in criminal behavior, many times violent criminal behavior.
And what we're seeing here, especially on lower level charges,
because of the change and the laws, it becomes a
revolving door. We provide absolutely no services to the incompetent.
We do nothing to limit their ability to drive a car,
by a gun, by alcohol, nothing like that. We put
(10:16):
them back out onto the street. Like, for instance, we
have a repeat offender shoplifter. She goes in, she shoplifts,
she gets arrested, she comes to court, she gets the
public defender, we pay for that. She claims to be incompetent.
She sent for a review, comes back, she's incompetent, unlikely
to be restored, and they dismissed the case and put
her right back out into the mall. This is not
(10:37):
a formula for public safety. It's not even a formula
for helping someone who has mental illness. This legislature has
failed repeatedly. And my guess is based on what I've
talked to with the legislators out here, that this is
going to be a hold my beer moment for the
Dems this legislative cycle.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
George Brockler DA in the twenty third joining us talking
about this record one point seven million fentanyl pills seizure
in Highlands Ranch from a storage unit and a good
Samarian and who reported it. And I want to kind
of tie everything together on this case, George, because you
mentioned that it's going to come out of Adams County
(11:16):
where this courier will be held and tried.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
But I have to believe in the state.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Of Colorado, with your position and those of many others,
it is so important that there's some level of coordination, cooperation,
and especially on this front because it's such a crisis
in America, with particular regard to fentanyl. Can you walk
us through that process a little bit into terms of
how that coordination, how that cooperation will take place.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Well, it starts really at the front end. So for instance,
there are law enforcement organizations will call them task forces,
and they have various names, and they cover various niches
within crime. For instance, we have a brand new IKAC
Internet Crimes against Children Task Force and it's made up
of members of law enforcement experts in their area from
(12:03):
various agencies. There's a similar one for drugs.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
That are out here.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
And so there's the Safe Streets Task Force, there's other
Front Range task Force, and they have people from the
federal level, state level, and local level who contribute these
subject matter experts in drug trafficking organizations and they go
where the big drugs are and they try to nail this. So,
for instance, we have a member from our DA's office,
(12:28):
one of our investigators is in one of these task forces,
and this is what they exist for, is to go
down and hunt drug dealers and to try to figure
out a way to get as much of this poison
off the street as possible. So the coordination begins at
the very front level. And then as you begin to
unroll this drug trafficking organization, agencies will go to either
(12:49):
the US Attorney's office or local DA's offices and say
things like we want to get up on a wire,
we want to pop up on their phones. And of
course the bad guys, by the way, are getting crafty
or craftiard how to be these with burners and other
modes of communication. But then you start to have a
conversation about who's going to get us the wire tap
first and easiest, and by and large, we're just faster
(13:10):
at it than the Feds. Then as the case comes in,
they've monitored the wire, they've made the bus, a discussion
will be had who can get the most bang for
their buck from their system. The Feds right now have
a huge hammer when it comes to drug dealing in
drug possession, if only because Colorado has watered down our
laws so much. It's very difficult to find something that
(13:31):
would encourage someone to come forward with, Hey, here's the
person I report to, here's the person that I deal with,
and you try to get as much of this organization
as possible so you can disrupt the flow. All the
time realizing that this process was made really almost impossible
up until Trump came back into office because we had
to pour a southern border. Right now, because the border
(13:54):
is more secure than it's been in decades, it is harder,
not impossible at all, by the way, harder for the
drug dealers to get their drugs imported into the country
and to move them around. So we're probably having more
impact with what we've been doing for years now than
we did under the previous administration.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
He's the district attorney in the twenty third George Brockler
joining us. He's also a colonel in the Army National Guard,
and George, I gotta get your take on this because
there is a local tie into one of the voices
you will hear here. I'm ashamed to call on my
own Congressman the sixth Congressional District, Jason Crowe. He did
serve as an Army ranger, along with everybody else Democrat.
(14:33):
In this video you'll hear the sound from but it's
just chilling to me what they are asking members of
our military.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And the CIA to do here. Give it a listen.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
I'm Senator Alissa Sookins, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Congressman Maggie good Landers, Representative Christy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe.
I was a captain in the United States Navy.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger,
former intelligence officer.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Former Air Force.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
We want to speak directly to members of the military.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
And the intelligence community to take risks each day keep
Americans safe.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Americans trust their military, but that trust.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Is at risk.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
This administration is pitting our uniform military.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Like us, you all swore an oath protect and of
them this constitution.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
from a broad but from right here at home.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You
can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that
we have your back, because now more than ever.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
The American people need you.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution,
and who.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
We are as Americans.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Don't give up.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Don't give up. Don't give up.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Don't give up the ship now, George, This obviously has
to do with the ice raids and deportations that are
in place for which Donald Trump won a mandate a
majority not only in the electoral College, but in the
popular vote. And these members of Congress, both the Senate
and the House, are asking those who serve to openly
(16:24):
defy orders from the President of the United States, from
the Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth and saying that these
are illegal orders?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Who are they to say that?
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Brian, let me give this this clamor up front. It's true.
I'm still serving in uniform for our state and our country,
but none of these comments that I'm about to make
should be attributed to that position. It has nothing to
do with that. I'm speaking to you as a member
of this community, as an American citizen and as a veteran,
but not tied at all to anything I do with
our Guarden uniform. I've never seen anything like this. I
(16:59):
think it is reprehensible and embarrassing for these people to
come out and say this. First off, so that people understand,
every single member, man or woman in our uniform services
gets training at the front end on their legal obligations
in terms of following lawful orders and even not following
unlawful orders. So this isn't like some new information that hey,
(17:21):
we're obligated to put out there. But secondly, this military
functions the way it does because of trust in the
chain of command. This is what we rely upon in
peacetime it's what we rely upon in wartime, and that's
what we rely upon right now in sort of that
gray area where we have these simmering conflicts that exist
(17:42):
and these near peer competitors like China right at our doorstep.
And for these elected officials, and I don't give a
damn who they claim they worked for, serve for what
they did in uniform to inject doubt into that chain
of command and to suggest, even subtly, if not overtly,
that the orders they are being given should be questioned
(18:03):
by them as to their legality, and thus cause them
to disobey the chain of command. This has made us weaker.
And if you look at who's done this, these are
people who did it for political gain, all elected officials
who are looking for some position in the Democrat Party.
These are people who are here to damage us, not
(18:24):
to help us. It is embarrassing. And Jason Crow, by
the way, who I've stood up for, not because.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Of his positions.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
I disagree with him. That dude's a legit patriot and
that he deployed to war twice that should matter to
everybody independent of party. But this thing he did yesterday
and making himself part of this is embarrassing. He owes
an apology to the men and women of the military.
He owes an apology to the command, even if he
doesn't like the president. This kind of thing is what
(18:52):
causes the kind of strife. You know, who cheers this
kind of garbage on the Chinese putin. They're sitting around
retweeting this to each other in the Kremlin and back
in Beijing, giving each other high fives. This is exactly
the kind of crap that they want, and the fact
that it came from an elected official from Colorado is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Very well, said Dan the twenty third, George Brockler joining us,
Thank you so much for your time, George, and thank
you for your passion and your patriotic service to this country.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Thanks buddy, color you soon your.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Reaction at five seven, seven, three nine. So thankful for
George Brockler's time. Rarely have I heard him that fired up.
But this video, it's insidious, It is disgusting, as he said,
is it an act of treason? Sedition? Your thoughts when
we come back, mor Ryan Schruing live after.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
This, the Supreme Court just cleared the way for Trump
to deport illegals, even faster. The High Court rule that
Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuela
and gang bangers to a mega prison in El Salvador.
This is a huge ruling in Trump's favor and a
major win for the country after as you know, DC
Judge James Boseburg ordered a stop to the deportations, So
(20:06):
this is pretty significant. These deportations, Caroline can keep going.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
This is a massive legal victory, Jesse, a massive victory
for law and order and for our constitutional republic in
the sovereignty of the United States of America.
Speaker 10 (20:21):
We called on.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
The Supreme Court to reign in these activist judges like
Judge Boseburg, who was completely out of line and trying
to say that the President didn't have the executive authority
to deport foreign terrorists off of our soil. We have
always maintained the position at the White House that the
President was well within his constitutional authority to do so,
and this decision proves that President Trump in our administration
(20:45):
have always been right from the beginning. He will continue
to utilize the Alien Enemies Act to remove foreign terrorists
and trendy Iragua members, vicious gang members from American communities.
And because of this ruling, the United States of America
is a much safer place. Our team will get to
work tomorrow to deport these heinous, violent foreign terrorists from
(21:07):
our neighborhoods.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
HiT's just keep on coming.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The w's keep piling up for President Trump and his administration.
This was another one, as Caroline Levitt, Press Secretary telling
Jesse Waters on his program last night Fox News, a
five to four Scotis decision allowing President Trump to issue
mass deportations per the seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act.
(21:31):
Now we're talking about the worst of the worst here,
but this Judge Boseburg himself appears to be the worst
of the worst when it comes to the judiciary. And
this is all the Democrats have left. This is all
the Left has remaining. Think about this. They have lost
the Supreme Court by either a six y three or
in this case, of five to four margin. I haven't
even looked at the decision. I'm guessing the one kind
(21:54):
of watery justice that may have gone over with the
three libs on the court was Chief Justice Roberts. That's
just a guess. I'm wrong, Please correct me. But either way,
a strong majority on the Supreme Court, three of which
those justices appointed by President Trump himself in Gorsicchkavanaugh, Andy Cony, Barrett,
and then you have the two elites on the bench
(22:17):
Alito and Clarence Thomas. Of course, and by and large
there have been a few wavering decisions by I think
each one of the Trump justices, least of which Gorsich,
most of which Barrett here and there Cavanaugh, But again
by and large, on the big things, they've gotten it right,
and they got this one right. And what this does
(22:37):
is it dovetails off of our conversation with George Brockler
in the previous segment.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
The Democrats are losing. The Democrats are failing.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The Democrats are flailing because they have been separated from
the levers of power in Washington, the Supreme Court being
just one of those. Also, of course, in the Congress,
both the House and the Senate as a stands right now,
this is why the midterms are going to be so
important in twenty twenty six. Obviously the presidency and you're
(23:07):
seeing this culture shift take place. So what are they
left with the left Democrats elected Democrats, Well, all that
is left to them are these rogue judges in liberal jurisdictions,
blue cities, mostly blue states, issuing these stays, these temporary
(23:28):
injunctions against Trump policies, and eventually those are overturned, and
I believe that will be the case.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
And several others that are pending right now.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
For instance, the Texas reapportionment decision made through legal channels
and means, through the state legislature and signed into law
by the governor of.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
That state, Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Let's put it this way, Texas can do it if
California can do it, And they did it by emergency
ballot measure feeat overturning an earlier ballot measure in the
state of California to reapportion their congressional districts. So this
is just a war of attrition, maybe in some ways.
But the Republicans were able to get their map through
(24:11):
in Texas and a judge, an intermediary level judge, decided
to block that, a panel of judges I believe, two
to one.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
But that will be appealed.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
By Texas to the Supreme Court of the United States
and their checkmate it on the chessboard. Think about any
direction they turn when it comes to that ultimately ends
at the Supreme Court of the United States, which at
least by a five to four margin, is going to
rule in an originalist fashion, in a textual fashion, in
order to interpret law rather than make law from the bench.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
The Constitution may in.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Fact be a living, breathing thing, but it is amended
through acts of Congress. That's how the Constitution changes, not
by fiat of unelected judges and justices which liberal appoint
to the bench believe that they have the power to do.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
And that was the very basis of Roe v. Wade.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It was legislation from the bench of the Supreme Court
of the United States in an broad interpretation of equal
protection rights under the law, which certainly did not apply
to the developing fetus in the wombs. So you had
that overturned by this current Supreme Court. So now you're
you have these democrats like Slotkin, Jason Crow, Mark Kelly,
(25:31):
these others that are involved in this video that George
Brockler responded so poignantly passionately too, in which they are
openly calling for members of our armed services, the CIA,
the bureaucracies which they used to control, to openly defy
orders given to them by the commander in chief, the
(25:52):
President of the United States, the duly elected commander in
chief President of the United States Donald Trump, and pointed
Secretary of Defense now called Secretary of War Pete Hagseef.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
They are out of line, they are out of order.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
As George Brockler, they threaten the very chain of command
and the respect for that chain of command that is
incumbent upon the military to maintain in order to maintain
order among the ranks. They are calling basically for mass chaos,
for each individual soldier, airman, sailor every service member in
our American military to all of a sudden exercise their
(26:30):
own political judgment in the moment and say, I don't
think the order I've just been given is constitutional, is legal.
It's an illegal order. And this just contributes to confusion
among the ranks. You cannot have that when lives are
on the line, and the people in that video should
(26:51):
know it best. And the sad part, the infuriating part,
is that they do know better. But as George points out,
they are using this moment as a political cudgel.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's a political power grab to try to establish a
foothold in some form of relevancy for them within their
own party, which is run amuck, which is off the rails.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
The Republicans we have problems too, don't get me real.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
We do. But the Democrats right now, they can't decide
who they are. They can't articulate to the American people
what they stand for, who they represent, what are their
foundational principles and values. They don't know because they've allowed
the far left, the democratic socialist wing, the communist wing
within their own party to commander or control of the vehicle.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
You can look at AOC, you can do.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
That whole meme of her turning to Chuck Schumer saying,
I'm the captain now, because that's the truth. There is
another element that is troubling coming out today, and what
I love about a few and it's a handful, unfortunately,
Ofuplicans in Congress, specifically the House. And I'm talking about
our own Representative Lauren Bolbert. I'm talking about Representative Anna
(28:07):
Paulina Luna from Florida, a touches congresswoman, by the way,
my buddy down there in Saint Pete, and then Representative
Nancy Mace. They're not blinking. There is some kind of
shadowy deal that's been made behind the scenes. That is
a power arrangement between Speaker Johnson not very happy with
(28:29):
him right now, a minority leader Jeffries. That is allowing
this Delegate Stacy Plaskett, Democrat virgin Islands, not even a
voting member of Congress, to get off the hook because
during a congressional hearing she received a text directly from
in real time Jeffrey Epstein. And now the powers that
(28:50):
be within the House are trying to draw some kind
of moral equivocation between that taking place in a congressional
hearing in real time and this disgraced congressman in Florida.
I believe his name's Corey Mills. Have I've got that
right that Johnson. Speaker Johnson was willing to make a
deal if there would be no further pursuit of a
(29:12):
censure of Corey Mills, then he'd call off.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
The wolves on plasket. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No Republican in power, especially with the speaker's gabble, should
be in position to make that kind of deal. Bending
over backwards, and Representative Nancy Mace has brought to the floor,
she is absolutely threading the needle here saying no no, no, wait, wait,
let's go ahead and sends your mills our own guy,
because no, you don't protect your own Whatever he did,
(29:43):
that's his problem. Doesn't mean we derail ourselves as Republicans
represented in the Congress, especially in the House, that's the
people's House. To let Delegate Stacy Plasket skate and we'll
get into the details of that, we come back at this.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm Ryan Schuling live.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
And I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at
the time was my constituent, who was not public knowledge
at that time that he was under federal investigation, and.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Who was sharing.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Information with me.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh, Delegate Stacy Plaskett, not a voting member of Congress
in the House, but just kind of there in a
token roll. Democrat Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico gets swan, District
of Columbia gets one.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Glom gets one, but they don't get to vote on
bills and such.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
But she did serve on a committee and during a
congressional hearing was getting fed texts by Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
This is not a good look. Now, I will admit
I have texted.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Let's say, Representative Lauren Bobert during the State of the Union,
and she had that altercation at one point with President Biden,
and I was kind of talking or about that. But
you know, I'm a member of the media. I'm a
show host. She comes on this program, that's open knowledge.
I know that Dan Bongino has texted with her at
times she's participating in congressional hearings, and he's very well informed.
(31:15):
What does Jeffrey Epstein bring to the table having that
kind of access to Delegate Plasket during a congressional hearing.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
She says he wasn't. She's really getting squeaky with the
language here.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It had been at least a decade, if not longer,
that he had been, in fact charged at the state
level with contributing to the delinquency of a miner, with
solicitation of miners for sex. That was on the record,
that was on the books at the state level. Now,
I don't understand how this is defensible, but one of
(31:50):
the least intelligent members of Congress did come to her defense.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
This is just sad.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
Well, they want to give them another headline, which is
that they've arraigned a Democratic member for taking a phone
call from her constituent. Just a constituent Jeffrey Epstein in
the hearing, And of course I don't think there's any
rule here against taking phone posts.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I'm in a hearing.
Speaker 10 (32:14):
Well, you want to actually give her the chance to
explain what happened, then we would take it to the
ethics committee. I still don't see what the charge is.
Where is the ethical transgression? Where is the legal transgression?
Are you saying anybody on your side at the ile
who had a phone call with Jeffrey Epstein should be censured?
Be careful your answer there, because there's a lot more
(32:35):
that's about to come out, right, So you should think
about what is the principle behind this rush to judgment?
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Now on that last part, yeah, let it all burn.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Anybody who had ties Jeffrey Epstein, especially once they knew
the kind of cretin he was. Let them burn. I
don't care if there's an R next to their name
or a D, doesn't matter to me. Flush them out,
smoke them out. That was the whole point of this
process and exercise why Lauren Bobert had the moral clarity
and she was right all along on all of it.
(33:05):
But there are so very few and that's what troubles
me most. Getting this some tax five seven to seven
three nine. Stephen Lyttleton retired Elio. In my view, seditious
comments like those Crow made devalue whatever service he previously
performed for America. Steve, I think that's in slight contrast
to what George Brockler said. Say, hey, Crow was an
Army ranger, he did serve in combat. Does there credit
(33:28):
for that? I do agree with that, But does it
undermine these comments? Does it undermine his previous service? Absolutely, Steve,
you are correct. Ryan, thank George Brockler for his patriotic
comments against Democrats who are past military personnel. I will
pass that along and you bet, and I think to
myself as well. Three chairs for g brock for his
(33:49):
very succinct words. I served under Ronald Reagan's as this
text in my twenty two year Air Force career. He
is turning over in his grave right now, at a minimum.
But these Congress Deep said was sedition. A synonym for
sedition is insurrection. I will call their words treasonous. They
should be removed from office asap. That's from the real
(34:10):
Ralph as opposed to the fake one. And then finally
this one, Ryan mark Levin refers to their Democratic Party
as the Democrat Communist Party. If the hammer and sickle
fit wear them ps, yes, they got my Dan turup. Well,
they've given in to that extremist wing of their party.
I mean, gone are the days when John Fetterman might
have been the conscience of the Democratic Party, might have
(34:31):
been the heartbeat, might have been kind of a centrist
figure with a broader Democratic Party that had some to
the left, some.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
To the middle.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
He's one of the few remaining that are legitimately in
the middle, the center left. Everybody else is either captive
to the far left or part of the far left.
And if you're captive to them, aren't you really part
of them? Jennifer say xxxy athletics next on Ryan Schuling Live.
