But I guess my question is, is if you don't get H.R. | |
| 2, that's it? | ||
| You're not willing to, let's say, let's say there was, I mean, I've seen the White House and the Democrats in the Senate go in your direction on this issue more than I've ever seen Democrats go in your direction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I've been in this town for a little longer than you. | |
| I've seen President Bush try to do this. | ||
| I've seen President Obama try to do this. | ||
| And it always comes down to the House Republicans and what they're willing to accept. | ||
| You would turn down a compromise that was not 100% of H.R. 2? | ||
| Jake, I'm not going to answer hypotheticals because they've not sent us any suggestion yet. | ||
| There's no draft bill. | ||
| But I would tell you, I don't care if they call it H.R. | ||
| 2. | ||
| I do care about the provisions that will seal the border. | ||
| I don't think now is the time to do comprehensive immigration reform because, to your point, it's very complicated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very complex to do. | |
| But we can seal the border. | ||
| We could do it overnight. | ||
| The president has the existing authority, under existing federal law, to do that. | ||
| And he refuses to do it. | ||
| Secretary Mayorkas has administered this. He's in charge of operational control of the border. | ||
| And what we see here is absolute mayhem. | ||
| This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. | ||
| It affects every American and every citizen along here. | ||
| That's who they need to listen to. | ||
| No more money for this bureaucracy of his government until you've brought this border under control. | ||
| Shut the border down or shut the government down. | ||
| We are all committed to that. | ||
| There's a national security issue that is taking place here on the southern border and that's what it's going to take to hold this administration accountable. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A firestorm on the Southern border today and back in Washington DC. | ||
| We're going to get to more of that in a moment. | ||
| A big fight coming up. | ||
| You got to man the ramparts. | ||
| The number is what? | ||
| 202-225-3121 is the house switchboard. | ||
| Make sure that they're hearing from you right now, either shut down the border. | ||
| If they need to take pieces of HR2 that do that and can implement it, shut down the border or shut down the government. | ||
| And this fight's going to come, this intense fight's going to come on On the evening of the 19th. | ||
| It's starting now, but it's going to come on the evening of the 19th. | ||
| I want to go back to things that we've won and how we've won. | ||
| I just want to make sure people understand. | ||
| Mark Elias, as demonic as he is, he does not waste his time on things. | ||
| And Katherine Engelberg will be on here in a minute telling about her big win in federal court at True the Vote. | ||
| But Elias does not waste his time. | ||
| He's very focused and he's very focused on winning. | ||
| He does a great job for the Democrats. | ||
| Cause he's all over. | ||
| He's got a lot of money, a lot of resources, as Alex has said, he's made a lot of money, but this is a tough ombre and this is what we're up against now. | ||
| In 22, we happened to win. | ||
| They didn't get the map. | ||
| They originally thought early in the year, McCarthy and these guys thought we're going to get more seats, but because this audience got behind of Alex DeGrasse and others that were saying, Hey, in states like Tennessee and states like Georgia and states like Florida and in New York, we got to fight and we got to get on top of this because. | ||
| A lot of people, particularly at the state level, don't really either pay attention or horse swap these districts for things they're taking at the state level. | ||
| Florida. | ||
| And that's why we had this big victory down there. | ||
| Well, it's resurfaced again because the Democrats, Elias and these guys, are smart. | ||
| And you saw this situation in Alabama and these other places. | ||
| So, DeGrasse, what you're telling me right now. | ||
| That in two central key parts, both in Florida and in Georgia, were either held the line or actually in Georgia. | ||
| And you got to give a hat tip to Kemp and these guys down there. | ||
| They got sued and actually had a special session. | ||
| And you're telling me the map is even better than when the Democrats came after us. | ||
| Yeah, Florida's in the back. | ||
| As of right now, Georgia, it did increase, and we've got wins in three other states as well. | ||
| But that's exactly right, Steve. | ||
| So I can go through the other states, and then we've got the update on these. | ||
| Yeah, give me the other states, because I want the war on posse to understand that this is going to be another fight that's going to drag through for a while. | ||
| Take the other states in order. | ||
| I want to finish with New York, because New York's a special case where you've got this out-of-control legislature and a court system up there that's not particularly favorable to MAGA. | ||
| No, that's right. | ||
| So another big win we had. | ||
| These are all last month breaking news and really hasn't been reported in the mainstream media. | ||
| So you've got Kentucky. | ||
| We just had the state Supreme Court, their rule in our favor and alongside a prior decision from 2022 that upholds the congressional and legislative map where we picked up a seat. | ||
| They did say the court found that apparently Republicans did quote unquote gerrymander, but not to an unconstitutional extent. | ||
| So that's over with. | ||
| So that's locked in. | ||
| That's a big one because that was on the list of possible, you know, things that they were sort of reopening, right? | ||
| North Carolina, this is the big one. | ||
| And I sent it to Cameron. | ||
| I don't know if they have it on the six o'clock, if it's a different crew, but North Carolina is the big one. | ||
| We could talk about it for a while, obviously. | ||
| We're expected to yield anywhere between three to four new Republicans after the 2024 election. | ||
| Huge buffer into what could be the case. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| So they feel the electoral bloodbath. | ||
| We had obviously spoke about it. | ||
| There's been a lot of lawsuits that are happening. | ||
| They're on very weak footing and none of them are going to lead to any changes in 2024, so we're locked. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| I want everybody in our podcast radio audience, this is what I need you to get to the email every day we put out. | ||
| You've got to see the video here. | ||
| You've got to see the charts. | ||
| You've got to see the maps that DeGrasse puts up because he's the man. | ||
| Let's go back, if we can just go back to that map. | ||
| This was the lead story in The Hill the other day. | ||
| And it's about the Democrats actually losing it, coming unwound on this. | ||
| Explain to me why North Carolina in this cycle is so important and why are Mark Elias and the Democrats just coming unwound about North Carolina? | ||
| North Carolina's key for purpose, another thing that I've spoken on the show, right, which is the importance of state Supreme Court. | ||
| So we get that in the bag, we hit it, and we move the numbers on the map, right? | ||
| And so now we've got this new map, that's key, and they're gonna go from seven Republicans and seven Democrats to, we should reliably send at least 10-3 with a swing seat with ideally, you know, we could have an 11-3 delegation. | ||
| So we could be picking up definitely three, I think four, That right there is the majority. | ||
| And that's all taken from the Democrats. | ||
| And you have, I think all the Democrats have quit. | ||
| So one of them is running for Attorney General. | ||
| These are sort of no names, sort of freaks you don't know about, but you know, they're done. | ||
| And so that's it. | ||
| So that's huge for us as we get those in the bag. | ||
| You're telling me in North Carolina right now, we could pick up a net four seats? | ||
| Yeah, I think we will. | ||
| I think it's three guaranteed, four. | ||
| Let's call it 60-40 in our favor. | ||
| So we feel great about that. | ||
| But that's huge. | ||
| I mean, that's it. | ||
| That's the ballgame right there, Steve. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Did they do a smart redistricting? | ||
| Are these things carved out that you think they'll withstand the onslaught? | ||
| Because the article implies, and I called around, that Mark Elassie's guys are not going to roll over on this one. | ||
| They understand that North Carolina is kind of everything for them. | ||
| How is this done that you feel confident we're at least going to get three and we're 60-40 to pick up four? | ||
| So it's a real timing game. | ||
| So I don't want to say our strategy across the board is to run out the clock, right? | ||
| But I'm saying that, of course, it's getting very late in the cycle, Steve, to sort of challenge these things. | ||
| They have a couple of lawsuits. | ||
| It's been in the bag on the Supreme Court. | ||
| We're on solid ground. | ||
| There's no path for them to change these maps. | ||
| And so, you know, I mean, look, there's ballot access, there's filing deadlines. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| Files, done. | ||
| Candidates are on the board and I believe it's shot. | ||
| What other states, like Tennessee, Missouri, any of these states have come back up? | ||
| I know Alabama we had problems, other problems, anything else before we get to New York? | ||
| Yeah, so South Carolina is another win. | ||
| So we spoke about that. | ||
| The Supreme Court heard the oral arguments in October that were challenging the congressional map. | ||
| A three-punch judge panel ruled against the state, but the remedial proceedings were stayed pending an outcome of a state's appeal. | ||
| So both sides did tell the Supreme Court that We needed an opinion by early January for there to be time to draw a new map. | ||
| And so that clock is ticking. | ||
| That's why I talked about sort of the timeline in our favor, not planned, but for the liberals watching, including Elias, I'm sure, but just naturally due to the case of it. | ||
| So, you know, as the clock ticks there, we're in a great position, at least for 2024, which is what we're looking at now. | ||
| That's the ballgame. | ||
| So we've got five wins and then you've got New York if we want to jump there. | ||
| But these are just developments in the last month. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, we feel good about other things. | |
| No, the five wins have been unbelievable. | ||
| People have done just a fantastic job of this at the state level and at the national level. | ||
| Talk to me about New York. | ||
| I'm really worried about New York. | ||
| And the reason I'm worried about New York is not that we don't have the facts and the case to present. | ||
| I'm worried about It's a total socialist situation up there in Albany. | ||
| And then you got these courts that, as you can see with President Trump, I mean, the courts are out of control. | ||
| I think the American people are now starting to see from both Manhattan and then this civil trial and this defamation thing coming up, the courts in New York are kind of like Moscow show trials. | ||
| So how are we going to sort this out in New York and not end up with like, you know, two congressmen? | ||
| Yeah, so right now we dealt with the court of appeals situation. | ||
| That's the highest court. | ||
| President Trump, you know, depending on the ruling, of course, you know, is destined to go to the appeals court and we'll fight that out. | ||
| That's the Supreme Court of New York. | ||
| It's rigged. | ||
| It's liberal. | ||
| It's disgraced itself in the last year across the board, especially on this map situation. | ||
| But the reality is that they wrote the remediation of how to fix the quote unquote last map. | ||
| Is that we have to have a commission, which is 50% Republican, 50% Democrat. | ||
| They didn't provide another opportunity to alter the maps. | ||
| And so our Republican commissioners are there and everything I'm saying is publicly on the record for all the Democrats watching. | ||
| And they've made very clear that no one can point to an issue with the map. | ||
| There's no issues with the map. | ||
| They argued on the process and this special master that was put in last cycle. | ||
| And so the only map that the Republicans have said is the current map. | ||
| And so, you know, that's what they've made very clear is our position. | ||
| And so with a 50-50 break, I think it's going to get very hot. | ||
| I think we will see what happens. | ||
| They're trying to make tweaks. | ||
| They're trying to do this. | ||
| Of course, there's backroom deals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, Albany is such a cesspool on the legislative side, on the judicial side, on everything else. | |
| We're fighting every battle we can on the mail ballots, on behalf of the poor President Trump, right? | ||
| Elise's judicial complaints and everything else that we're doing on team Elise but this redistributing one is big because obviously you can just move the lines a little bit in certain areas especially downstate and start picking off our numbers and so we feel very confident but you know in a way it's up to the courts and how we handle this commission of course But it's a tough one, Steve. | ||
| We need the policy to stay engaged. | ||
| If you are a New York Republican, every vote is going to count. | ||
| We've got Jill Brand on the ballot. | ||
| She's under 42-43% approval. | ||
| We're looking at that race heavily when you look at the Senate map. | ||
| That's something that people need to No. | ||
| That's a no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Gillibrand's got nothing. She's a disaster. You look how close it was with Schumer, with Zeldin, we're looking at that. You've got President Trump talking about New York. New York has really become a huge MAGA battleground. We call it guerrilla warfare. It's police and what we're building across the state. But we feel great about it, so the police gotta lock in. | ||
| Trump's going to Madison Square Garden. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| He's all in. | ||
| He is bound and determined to win New York for many reasons. | ||
| He's all in. | ||
| New York's a battleground state. | ||
| With the immigration situation and what's happening on Wall Street, this invasion of the country is going to play. | ||
| It's going to be a hot topic in New York City and the counties around it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You watch. | |
| Alex, you were our pathfinder in 22. | ||
| People really depend upon you in this. | ||
| What's your social media so people will follow you? | ||
| We want you back frequently with updates because this redistricting fight is one that the posse's got their jaws onto and they're not gonna, you know, they're not gonna let go. | ||
| This is what I'm going to say real quick. | ||
| The Siena College New York Times poll, which is like the standard poll. | ||
| I think it's just Siena College in New York. | ||
| They have President Trump, I think, 9%, 10%. | ||
| That's their Democrat bias public polls. | ||
| We've got better polls. | ||
| It looks great for everyone across the board, but my social media at DeGrasse. | ||
| DeGrasse81 on X. I'm on Getter Truth. | ||
| Thank you so much, Steve. | ||
| Thank you for the posse, but we've got some positive news and many more fights ahead. | ||
| No, no, we got fights and these are fights we can win. | ||
| By the way, congratulations to team Elise. | ||
| We don't have today to get into hopefully Thursday or Friday, uh, on this, uh, situation at Harvard and at Pennsylvania without her leadership, quite frankly, and brilliant questioning. | ||
| Uh, we wouldn't be in this situation where we remove the, uh, the head of Harvard and Pennsylvania and a lot more to come and cleaning out the, uh, the stables there. | ||
| So fantastic work on team Elise. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Alex DeGrasse, one of the smartest, toughest young fighters out there. | ||
| Catherine Yarbrough. | ||
| Talk about fighters. | ||
| This is like Fight Club today. | ||
| Catherine Yarbrough, true the vote. | ||
| Katharine Engelbrecht has been at this a long time and fighting hard. | ||
| Katharine, explain to me the importance of your amazing victory because we were there when you were, you were heading in. | ||
| This thing looked like a long shot at one time, but you had the facts on your side and we actually found a federal judge that agreed with facts. | ||
| Talk to us about this massive victory for you and True the Vote down in Georgia. | ||
| Yeah, well thanks for having me on to talk about it a little bit. | ||
| It was in fact a massive victory and complete total vindication of the work that we've been doing. | ||
| So here's what happened. | ||
| We sought to help Georgia citizens in the aftermath of 2020 and just before the runoff of 2021, we sought to help them get their voter rolls clean because there was a Sadly, the situation in Georgia, they hadn't cleaned their rolls in a couple of years and it was a mess. | ||
| So we found out about this. | ||
| Georgia had a provision that allows for citizens to recognize and petition their counties to also recognize ineligible records in the voter rolls. | ||
| And so this became a project. | ||
| We made an announcement of the project. | ||
| We had found over 364,000 ineligible records. | ||
| And within just a few days, Mark Elias, who was at that point representing Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight, came down with a full weight in force. | ||
| Of all that Elias can muster, there were dozens of attorneys that ultimately the Department of Justice got involved, and it was a three-year slugfest ending in a trial in the Northern District Federal Court in Georgia. | ||
| A couple months ago. | ||
| So yesterday we got the decision that the judge found that we had done no wrong, that we had not violated the Voting Rights Act, that we were well within the framework of lawfulness in the process of submitting those challenges. | ||
| And the reason that the victory is so important is not just that we beat Elias and Abrams and the Biden Justice Department, although all of those things are true. | ||
| The reason that it is so important is because had we not stood our ground, had we settled, had we lost, the chilling effect over the country would have been substantive. | ||
| There would have been very little way for patriots to find a path to continue to press for accurate voter rolls, and now it's a whole new day. | ||
| Citizens across the country should be heartened. | ||
| They were trying to put it up almost like a criminal thing, that what you guys were doing was violating people's rights to the fact that you would have civil liability. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| But a lot of the thing that came at you was to intimidate people that, hey, you're wandering into potential criminal charges if you do this. | ||
| Am I mistaken? | ||
| That was the stakes in this lawsuit, correct? | ||
| Absolutely, yes. | ||
| Not only did they sue True the Vote, but when True the Vote announced this project, there were a handful of other citizens in Georgia that I knew of who were doing something along the same lines of analyzing the records and petitioning their counties. | ||
| And so, in my release that we posted on our website, I made mention of them by name. | ||
| So not only did they sue True the Vote, but Elias and Abrams sued everybody I mentioned in the press release. | ||
| And for the last three years, True the Vote has been defending everyone in the interest of being heard on this matter. | ||
| And yeah, that they were trying to accuse us of violations of the Voting Rights Act, which would have been tantamount to criminal had they taken it that direction, would have threatened to shut us down entirely. | ||
| And they lost, big time. | ||
| Tell people what it's like to go up against Mark Elias. | ||
| I mean, the resources he has, the platform at MSNBC, the support of the Justice Department and all these big law firms. | ||
| You guys beat him on an open battle here. | ||
| It's pretty extraordinary for somebody like True the Vote that is, I would say, tad understaffed and under-resourced. | ||
| I mean, how do you take on Elias with what he's got? | ||
| And Stacey Abrams. | ||
| And remember, folks, Engelbrecht and these guys took on Stacey Abrams at the top of her game. | ||
| This is not the Stacey Abrams today. | ||
| This is when she looked like she was unbeatable in this area. | ||
| What was it like to take these folks on? | ||
| Well, I mean, they came hard. | ||
| And from the instant that we announced the project, Elias sent letters to every single county in the state of Georgia telling them that if they considered our filings that they would be sued. | ||
| So first he put a chill out across the entire state against us. | ||
| Then Abrams went on a press junket to CNN and MSNBC and anybody that would have her telling the world how awful we were for questioning the accuracy of voter rolls, trying to foment this Anger. | ||
| And that led to, and they did a great job, that led to all kinds of threats against the people that were involved in the project. | ||
| And it went on for years and years and years, almost three years to the day. | ||
| The amount of money that they put into this is breathtaking. | ||
| Millions, millions and millions of dollars to stop us. | ||
| No, they're so well-resourced because they understand, just like in the redistricting fight, this is where the voter rolls, the mechanics of voting, the things that are under the radar that most people, because other media doesn't make it so important, kind of either lose interest, too confusing. | ||
| Elias is smart. | ||
| This is where he fights his battles. | ||
| It's like Sun Tzu. | ||
| They want to win before the voting even starts. | ||
| They want to win before the actual conflict begins. | ||
| That's why he's so dangerous, and that's why he's being confronted. | ||
| Now, tell me this. | ||
| Where do we actually stand? | ||
| You have told me in the 10 or 12 years I've known you that, hey, Steve, where it starts is these voter rolls. | ||
| And Georgia, we know, was a fiasco because of 2020. | ||
| So talk to me now that you've won. | ||
| What's your assessment, not just of Georgia, but when Katherine Engelbrecht looks out there over the voter roll fiasco throughout the rest of the country, where are we and how are we going to get this thing fixed before 2024? | ||
| Well, it's a big problem, but the great news is it can be fixed before 2024, although there is no time to waste. | ||
| Voter rolls across the country are in a state of absolute chaos. And it's because for years we have allowed the process to erode, we have allowed the fraud to become institutionalized. In private industry, all day, every day, companies are resolving identity, residency, and citizenship in real time. The technology exists to do this. But what we see in our voter rolls, and it's in large part due to the lawfare at the hands of someone like Mark Elias, | ||
| who anytime the state attempts to to clean its rolls, get sued. | ||
| And that's where citizens come in. | ||
| Because when citizens petition, and in most states, there are provisions inside of state election codes that allow citizens to petition their respective counties where they are registered. | ||
| They can bring ineligible records. | ||
| and start the process of evaluation. That is the way that we can get these roles clean between now and 2024. If they're not clean, then you have the opportunity to go to the court now preemptively and say that ineligible records or ineligible voters remain on the rolls, and therefore, they may not be eligible to vote. If they do vote, those elections can't be certified in the aftermath. | ||
| So there's a lot of different bites at this apple, but what's most important is that we turn our focus on this very first essential element of, as you point out, the mechanics of elections. | ||
| Get the voter rolls clean. | ||
| We're coming out with all kinds of tools and supports to help citizens, but it is all hands on deck. | ||
| We've got to get the rolls clean. | ||
| Okay, I want to go back through this one more time because this is the predicate. | ||
| And if you look at this, and I keep arguing, you're never going to clean up California to get to those voter rolls. | ||
| I know Georgia's a disaster. | ||
| One more time. | ||
| Are you heading this effort? | ||
| We understand the RNC's under-resourced. | ||
| I don't know if the state parties have the wherewithal to do it. | ||
| Who is actually getting this done? | ||
| Is it true the vote? | ||
| Are you the tip of the spear on this? | ||
| I would submit to you that yes, we are. | ||
| Now, there are other groups doing other things, and mercy knows True the Vote can't do it all, and I applaud anybody that is, you know, out in the trenches and trying to take this head on. | ||
| But I will tell you that this is the first cycle True the Vote has ever been in a position to, at scale, take a look at the voter rolls, And do what, you know, there used to be a group called ERIC, still is in some states, that helps to ostensibly clean the roles. | ||
| It's a longer story for a different day. | ||
| But there have been a great many states that have moved away from ERIC and are looking now for processes to manage their own roles internally. | ||
| Long and the short of it is, citizens, and we're glad to help, we have built a project or built a model to take a closer look at those roles. | ||
| And yeah, look, I'll say it here for you and all the posse. | ||
| We'll take this on. | ||
| It's got to be done. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| How do people get to you, Catherine? | ||
| Where's social media? | ||
| What's the website for you and Greg? | ||
| TrueTheVote on Twitter and TruthSocial. | ||
| You can go to TrueTheVote.org. | ||
| We're going to be announcing new projects regularly, so just go to the website and sign up. | ||
| We'll keep you informed. | ||
| Lots of work to be done. | ||
| Lots. | ||
| Every time you announce a new project, you come on here. | ||
| Catherine Engelbrecht. | ||
| Anybody would go to a Texas prison for this and they didn't break her. | ||
| You've got to be pretty hard to try to break Catherine Engelbrecht and they didn't break her. | ||
| They didn't break Greg Phillips either. | ||
| They serve time to make sure that you can have a free and fair election. | ||
| Honored to have you on here, ma'am. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thanks so much. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| OK, breaking news. | ||
| We've got two things. | ||
| Mike Davis, Trump's just filed on the 14th Amendment. | ||
| He's going to join us after the break. | ||
| We've got James O'Keefe. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| James, what is up, sir? | ||
| Hey, Steve. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| We just broke this out of Phoenix, Arizona. | ||
| This is a secret migrant facility on video at 1211 East Apache Street. | ||
| No one's really gone there with a camera and exposed this. | ||
| And there's a video of the gentleman working there. | ||
| His name is Jesus Moreno. | ||
| And his boss, a man named Thomas Robles, at this left-wing non-profit organization called International Rescue Committee. | ||
| Well, Jesus Moreno is on tape offering me a bribe to make me not record and film. | ||
| We just broke this video online and it's going viral and Elon has responded to this, so a videotape of these Employees and workers at the secret migrant facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which ships the migrants to the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on the hour, every hour. | ||
| They were really upset about my presence. | ||
| You can see that video there. | ||
| And the, and the left-wing organization is called International Rescue Committee. | ||
| It gets $1.4 billion in revenue, $415 million from the federal government. | ||
| Hold it, you're telling me in this budget, what we're talking about, almost a half a billion dollars will go to this group to ship illegal aliens into the airports, into the airplanes, into the interior of the country? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The tax return, the 990 schedule B, it's in the video. | ||
| We put this in the video. | ||
| Health and Human Services give us $122 million. | ||
| Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, $180 million. | ||
| And the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, another $100 million. | ||
| So total $415 million in taxpayer money. | ||
| Pays for the secret migrant facility they don't want you to know about. | ||
| It's an old school, Steve. | ||
| And when I got there, these illegal immigrants, they're all called refugees. | ||
| Every hour, there's a bus that departs this school and takes the people to the airport where they're covered in American Red Cross blanket. | ||
| I asked them, I spoke Spanish. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They said they're all voting for Biden. | |
| I tell you what, James, could you hang on a second? | ||
| We want to boot that video up. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| James O'Keefe from the O'Keefe Media Group joins us breaking news on a secret facility in Phoenix. | ||
| He's got the video. | ||
| Mike Davis is also going to join us. | ||
| President Trump has filed on the 14th Amendment. | ||
| Show water about Mike DeWine next in the War Room. | ||
| These are migrants on the bus. | ||
| Are you transporting migrants to the airport, sir? | ||
| Shut the door right in my face. | ||
| One of the companies that transports the migrants is Jet Limousine, which we learned is a subcontractor to a group called Charter Up. | ||
| These bus companies have instructed their drivers not to talk to any O'Keefe journalist and to even call the police on us when they see us. | ||
| More on that soon. | ||
| Hi, sir. | ||
| Sir, who do you work for? | ||
| Sir? | ||
| I'm wondering, who do you work for and are you shipping migrants on buses on the hour? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I work for Nanyo. | |
| Nanyo business, man. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| What is none of my business? | ||
| What? | ||
| You're shipping migrants on the hour every hour to the airport? | ||
| You work for none of your business? | ||
| Nanyo? | ||
| What's the name of the non-profit that you guys are getting the contracts with? | ||
| What's your name? | ||
| What's your name? | ||
| It's actually a lot of my business. | ||
| The public has a right to know. | ||
| The public, we're not going anywhere! | ||
| We spoke to two individuals who worked at the Migrant Center, Jesus Moreno and Thomas Robles. | ||
| Jesus, the man who just slammed the gate on us, then offered us money to make us go away, which sounded to us like a bribe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How much you guys get paid? | |
| I'll pay you guys. | ||
| What's that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How much you guys get paid? | |
| I'll pay you guys. | ||
| Jesus, is that your name, Jesus? | ||
| Jesus wouldn't give us his first or last name, but his boss shouted it out while she was telling him, no digas nada, Spanish for say nothing to them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nada, no digas nada. | |
| No digas nada, give them nothing. | ||
| So we have a woman saying Jesus, but using just his first name and face, we found him online almost immediately. | ||
| We have a bus pulling up guys, right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's two buses. | |
| They're going the other way, he's waving. | ||
| So his name is Jesus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said, don't- Jesus, no digas nada! | |
| American Red Cross worker coming up to me and telling me that he can't- Okay, we're back. | ||
| It's time to go to work. | ||
| Uh, Gene- Oh, Keith, you were built for this. | ||
| This is amazing, and the way you edit it, the way you cut it, the way you film it, the undercover. | ||
| Tell our audience how big a deal is this. | ||
| We just had Johnson down there today, and I'm not saying it was happy talk, but Ben Burquam is the lead story on Mediate right now for the question our own Ben Burquam asked him when he said, after all the happy talk, give me a show of hands of who shut down the government. | ||
| And supposedly the Republican congressman hated that. | ||
| That's fearless. | ||
| That's what James O'Keefe is. | ||
| James, you've done a lot of these investigations. | ||
| How big a deal is this situation with the illegal immigrant invasion of the country? | ||
| This is, Steve, what you just saw is this secret migrant facility at 1211 East Apache Street that nobody has really reported on. | ||
| And as you can see, the guy is offering me a bribe. | ||
| And Steve, it's a big deal because They get $415 million. | ||
| This is a 501c3 now. | ||
| It's called International Rescue Committee. | ||
| They get $415 million from the federal government. | ||
| The schedule B shows BPRM, HHS, and other organizations, agencies give them the money. | ||
| And those buses that you saw, Steve, they usually stop. | ||
| And because I was just physically standing there, the buses were swerving around me, evading me. | ||
| People were running down the street just by me showing up. | ||
| Their behavior shows they have a lot to hide. | ||
| It almost looks like some sort of a human trafficking cartel front, the behavior of these people. | ||
| And it's rare that you actually get them on tape offering the bribe. | ||
| So that was remarkable. | ||
| And this other guy named Thomas Roblos, who is the executive director of Lucha, and he also was at the clinic, he called me a domestic terrorist, called the police on us. | ||
| And there's more video forthcoming. | ||
| So this is Every hour they ship the migrants to Phoenix Sky Harbor and they fly them to New Jersey, Chicago, and New York and it's just unbelievable. | ||
| We're getting pilots, we're getting whistleblowers inside the airlines, we're getting whistleblowers inside the clinics, the bus drivers are now messaging me. | ||
| So this is developing. | ||
| You're telling me that this is an industrial process, this industrial process to basically traffic people, American taxpayers paying for it, to these NGOs, to traffic people deep into the United States of which they'll just go into the local community and we'll never find them and never be able to deport them. | ||
| Is that, this is an industrial process that you're breaking down with your investigative reporting? | ||
| And it's under the pretense of them being refugees. | ||
| Remember, they're all, they're all refugees. | ||
| And they're wearing Red Cross blankets at the airport. | ||
| I actually spoke to these. | ||
| That's another part of the video. | ||
| I don't speak Spanish well, but I did speak Spanish and they said that they're voting for Biden and they're waiting for their asylum. | ||
| So they're all under the pretense of being refugees. | ||
| And I've also learned, Steve, Through my sources and through what I'm talking to these people is that this is a money grab. | ||
| The non-profits are making, bang, $1.3 billion. | ||
| And I bet you didn't even know, your audience probably doesn't even know, never even heard this organization before. | ||
| $1.3 billion in revenue as a 501c3. | ||
| And the people driving the buses, Steve, some of them are actually conservative. | ||
| They're my sources. | ||
| And I asked them, what are you doing taking a contract with this Okay, this is just the tip of the spear. | ||
| We were only able to show a little bit of the video. | ||
| greed and apparently money-driven trafficking. Unbelievable. | ||
| Okay this is just the tip of the spear. We were only able to show a little bit of the video. | ||
| It's shocking to see it. O'Keefe Media Group, where do people go on your social media and at your website to follow this? | ||

| Talk soon. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Man, today has been the fight club. | ||
| DeGrasse, Engelbrecht, O'Keefe, Mike Davis. | ||
| This guy was born fighting. | ||
| Mike Davis, finally, President Trump's team worked over the holidays and has filed now, I think in the Supreme Court, about the 14th Amendment. | ||
| Can you get us up to speed on what happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so President Trump filed a petition for cert with the Supreme Court asking the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse | |
| The Colorado's egregiously unconstitutional, egregiously anti-democratic decision, this 4-3 decision where four left-wing justices on the Colorado Supreme Court simply decreed that Trump can't be on the Republican primary ballot in Colorado based upon a complete misreading of a post-Civil War constitutional amendment intended | ||
| To chase out of office those Confederates who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States. | ||
| These four left-wing wackos on the Colorado Supreme Court dusted off this 155-year-old constitutional provision. | ||
| And they said that this applies to Trump with no due process, no fair hearing. | ||
| And the way this is supposed to work under a controlling decision by then Chief Justice Salman Chase is if you want to disqualify under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, Congress has to pass a federal criminal statute, which Congress has done, related to insurrection or rebellion. | ||
| A federal prosecutor has to charge that officer under that criminal statute, the federal criminal statute. | ||
| A federal grand jury has to indict. | ||
| A federal jury has to unanimously find guilt with evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. | ||
| A judge has to convict. | ||
| Federal judge has to convict. | ||
| And then that federal appellate court has to uphold that conviction. | ||
| And then under that federal criminal statute, you can disqualify for insurrection or rebellion. | ||
| What happened on January 6th was nowhere close to an insurrection. | ||
| It was a lawful protest permitted by the National Park Service that devolved into a riot. | ||
| We've talked about this for a long time. | ||
| How many insurrectionists show up to a nation's capital unarmed, get to the Senate floor of the nation's capital, walk through velvet ropes, follow police direction, take selfies, and walk out without burning down the damn place. | ||
| Mike, is the Supreme Court, you know, MSNBC and CNN, all the geniuses over there are saying, well, some of those guys are saying the Supreme Court's not even going to pick this up. | ||
| When will we know that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the Supreme Court, how it works is they file the cert petitions. | |
| The Colorado Republican Party filed it last week. | ||
| Colorado filed it this week. | ||
| You have essentially 30 days to file an opposition from that, from when the Colorado Republican Party files. | ||
| If there's no opposition, you have to file a notice with the Supreme Court quickly saying that you're not going to oppose. | ||
| The Supreme Court has what's called a conference or a private meeting of the nine justices Most Fridays while they're in session and then the justices decide. | ||
| It takes four votes to grant cert to decide to take the case. | ||
| They have discretionary review. | ||
| They don't have to take the case. | ||
| The little trick that the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine Secretary of State played on this is they stayed their decisions the seconds that Trump filed the appeal. | ||
| And so they're going to argue There's no urgency here, so the Supreme Court doesn't need to take this right away. | ||
| The problem with that argument is you've set these bad precedents, this election interference, by these Democrat state Supreme Court justices in Colorado and this goofball Democrat, unelected non-lawyer, Secretary of State Shanna Bellows in Maine. | ||
| And so you've set these precedents, and now Democrats are going to use these precedents in other places to try to kick Trump off the ballot. | ||
| And more places and more states. | ||
| The Supreme Court needs to put on their big boy pants, as we always say. | ||
| They need to take this case and they need to reverse this abomination of a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court immediately. | ||
| These Supreme Court justices... Look, if you're going to go after Trump and try to arrest him and his top aides and his supporters for supposedly interfering in the election, this is the most egregious, un-American, anti-democratic election interference | ||
| Imaginable that these four left-wing whack jobs on the Colorado Supreme Court think that they get to unilaterally throw eight candidates off the ballots based upon a misreading of a 155-year-old post-Civil War constitutional amendment. | ||
| But right now, I'll let you go, last question, but with the stays on this, does the ballot get printed? | ||
| Does Trump's name get printed on the ballot in Colorado for the primary election? | ||
| Do things move on as is? | ||
| Or is everything just frozen in place until the Supreme Court decides whether even to take it up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, so that's the trick that the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine Secretary of State played. | |
| They said, okay, we're going to make this stupidly partisan, unconstitutional ruling and get our political win that we want and set this dangerous precedent. | ||
| But they said in their rulings that they're going to stay their decisions if Trump appeals until the appellate process plays itself out until it's resolved on appeal. So Trump is still on the ballot in Colorado. He'll still be on the ballot in Maine because Trump has appealed both of those decisions. | ||
| But it's the precedent that's being set by these jurisdictions that could be used in other places. | ||
| It's like playing whack-a-mole with these left-wing whack-jobs. | ||
| It's this lawfare that continues. | ||
| The two impeachments for nonsense, the four indictments for non-crimes, the two illegal gag orders trying to bankrupt Trump for non-fraud, and then that all backfired. | ||
| Now they're trying to disqualify. | ||
| It's whack-a-mole, and the Supreme Court needs to end this disqualification game immediately. | ||
| Davis, where do people get you, brother, on social media and your website for Article 3? | ||

| Okay, Trump's filed, he's balancing out the Supreme Court on this. | ||
| Okay, we've had DeGrasse, we've had Engelbrecht, we've had O'Keefe, we've had Davis. | ||
| It's the Fight Club here in the 6 o'clock hour. | ||

| We're going to bring in Brandon Showater from the Christian Post. | ||
| He is a fighter, too. | ||
| Let's play the club. | ||

|
This bill would impact a very small number of Ohio's children. | |
| But for those children who face gender dysphoria and for their families, the consequences of this bill could not be more profound. | ||
| Ultimately, I believe this is about protecting human life. | ||
| Were I to sign House Bill 68 or were House Bill 68 to become law? | ||
| Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government knows better what is medically best for a child than the two people who love that child the most, the parents. | ||
| Now, while there are rare times in the law, in other circumstances, I can't. | ||
| I can't listen anymore. | ||
| Let's bring Brandon Showalter. | ||
| That is absolutely revolting, sir. | ||
| You have worked on this harder than anybody in this country. | ||
| Tell us what happened in Ohio and what is going to happen, sir. | ||
| Well, it was expected, actually. | ||
| I thought that Ohio Governor DeWine was kicking the can when I knew that he wasn't going to do anything until December 29th, which is what you saw there at that press conference when he vetoed that bill. | ||
| And it was also part of that was the women's sports thing where, you know, that was sort of a companion. | ||
| Part of that legislation was to prohibit males and women's sports. | ||
| But with the medicalization of gender, putting children on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and body-altering surgeries, Even that statement is pretty disingenuous, I think, because Governor DeWine has since sent a letter to the legislature saying that he does oppose the surgeries on minors and that kind of thing. | ||
| So it's just so egregious to hear that because the state of Ohio and other states as well have passed similar regulations to safeguard children from dangerous kinds of things. | ||
| But that bill was on his desk, I think, since December 18th. | ||
| And it does look as though my sources indicate that an override process is going to be set in motion next week. | ||
| Representative Click and others are making noise to that effect. | ||
| There was a great article in the Washington Stand about that today. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| And Ohio could very well become, I think, the 20th or 21st state, depending on which ones you count. | ||
| To ban the transing, the chemical and surgical transing of minor children in the United States. | ||
| But, but, but, but this is, but this, but overriding this, overriding this is everything right now. | ||
| Cause he's the classic. | ||
| The reason the country's in the shape of this, you had rhinos like this, that crater to the mainstream media. | ||
| We got to bounce. | ||
| I want, because this fight, I want you back on the folks in Ohio because we had, you had, it's veto proof, right? | ||
| Can't we, can't the override in their votes override this? | ||
| If they hold together, and that's the big question. | ||
| The medical industry is strong in Ohio, and it's a key state. | ||
| But yes, from what I hear, if all that supported the bill hold together, it can be overridden. | ||
| The War Room Posse is going to have you back on this. | ||
| Brandon, where do people go to get your writing of the Christian Post? | ||
| You've been amazing in this topic. | ||
| You've been the tip of the spear. | ||
| We got a lot more wins than losses, but this one in Ohio is critical. | ||

| Thank you very much. | ||
| You're a patriot and a hero, sir, and a fighter. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| This situation in Ohio, we're going to be all over. | ||
| This is time for the legislature to step up. | ||
| It was outrageous, outrageous for a Republican governor in with Republican votes to veto this and destroy these kids. | ||
| Absolutely outrageous. | ||
| Mike Lindell, you've been at the tip of the spear of the fight here. | ||
| You had Engelbrecht, big victory in federal court in Georgia about the voter rolls. | ||
| President Trump just filed at the Supreme Court to fight this ridiculous 14th Amendment. | ||
| You've been fighting. | ||
| They're trying to tear down Trump. | ||
| They're trying to put him in bankruptcy in New York. | ||
