Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning, just a mere nineteen days left before the election.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Let me just tell you where the program's going this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I could do an entire four hours about a twenty
six minute interview that I watched last night.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
You're going to filibuster your own show.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm gonna filibuster my own show. But I am not
going to do it because I'll lose interest and you'll
lose interest, and we have other things to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
But I do want to, and I apologize.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
In advance, but I want to bring my producer, Dragon Redbeard,
into a lot of this conversation because he.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm the blissful idiot, the headline guy, the guy that
barely pays attention.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Thank you for.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Saying that, because I was trying to think of a
diplomatic way of saying, here's the guy from the third
floor that just told Penis jokes for most of his
entire professional career, who's now been sucked into the vortex.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Devring this damn interview because it happened while I was
working out. So once I was done working out, I
decided to watch this DVR interview.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
See what wonderful that was wrong with me?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
See what wonderful influence I have on people, how to
win friends and influence people. But I'm fascinated because let
me set the stage for a few basic things about
obviously referring to Brett Bear, his interview on Fox News
yesterday at six eastern four Mountain that really didn't begin
(01:34):
until four fifteen or whatever it was, and I want
to I want to describe that because there may be
some things that that I observed, having having been in
television studios, having been in now that obviously wasn't in
the Fox News studio, but having actually been in the
Fox News studios in New York UH and in DC
(01:56):
I I, and just having done lots of interviews like this,
I kind of know the logistics of how it works.
So I sit down last night to watch this interview. Now,
let me tell you what's my mindset before I talk
about anything substantive or procedural about the interview.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Substantively, I sat down, and.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
My expectations were kind of down in my I'm I'm
on our main floor, and my expectations are down in
our basement because it's Brett Bear, and I don't have
very high expectations for Brett beher to conduct what I
would think would be a hard hitting interview, because I
(02:46):
do believe that Brett Bear to some degree not I mean,
you're either a member of the cabal or you're not.
But you can be a lifetime member, like you've paid
your dues up front and you're never going to change.
Or you could be a neophyte, a newbie, and you've
got your first job in news and you you're now
(03:08):
a member of the cabal, but you're not. It's not
in your DNA yet. And in fact, you have an
opportunity as we now see across the landscape of all
media that freelancers and others, podcasters and others, there are
a lot of hard hitting people that are doing hard
hitting interviews. So my expectations were pretty low about this interview.
(03:31):
I will say that I was shocked. I was pleasantly
surprised at how hard hitting of an interview Brett Bair did.
Here's how I described it to drive, and I'm going
to compare and contrast that because I did life tweet
it and some of the responses and replies that I
(03:55):
got from some of you who listened to this broke
shocked me. Uh And I know your listeners because you
use the term cabal and so I know you listen
to me. Now let's back up and talk about first
the logistics about what took place. So here, I am
(04:20):
all excited at you know, four pm, ready to watch
what I'm hoping is going to be a really hard
hitting interview where she's going to be asked some tough
questions at the same time that I'm like, yeah, but
you know what I'm gonna I know I'm.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Going to be disappointed real quick. I just want to
jump in here too. When we were I DVRD this
episode of Brett Baer and as I'm going through my
phone to make sure I've got the right one, the
program is an hour long. So in my mindset, nobody
said anything as to whether how long this interview is
going to be. But I've been thinking, oh, his program's
(04:57):
an hour. I'm going to expect nearly an hour of
an interview with Brett and Kamala has And I.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Agree with you, except that in the back of my
mind I thought that I was confused. I thought it
was going to be an hour long interview, but I
also thought I had heard there was going to be
a thirty minute interview. But regardless because of you know,
Dragon and I have talked about how we are. We
are married to the clock, and the clock for these
(05:27):
four hours pretty much controls our life. Well, the same
is true in television. Television is even stricter because it's
obviously national and nationwide. It's like me on my weekend program.
I've got to hit brakes at certain times. And you
may have heard on the on the syndicated program, or
I might have missed you know, i might have not
(05:49):
heard the outro music and I missed a hard break
and I'm in the middle of a sentence and he
goes to break regardless, because that's the network, baby, and
I and I screw it up.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
If we producers don't care, it's time to shut up.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
A right, It's time to shut up, and we're moving on.
So I'm expecting. Here's what I'm expecting when I've done
interviews on television, whether it's in their studio or one
of their satellite studios. I show up ahead of time
sometime and I've kind of figured out how much how
long it takes. I need, you know, about five or
(06:25):
ten minutes for makeup because I'm pretty ugly. And then
they got to mic you up, and then they put.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You in the chair.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And if you're in a satellite studio, like if I'm
in the Fox Phil if I'm in the Fox studios
in Denver for the Fox National, then I also know
that I need to get in the chair. And in fact,
the producers in New York want me in the chair
early so that they can do the camp. They can
(06:52):
get the camera shot ready, they can do the sound check,
they can make sure that in the IFB in my
ear that I can hear New York. And so I
sit in the chair and then I wait. Now it's
slightly different, obviously for the president and the vice president.
They will do the makeup separately. They will do in fact,
they will do their own makeup. They will do their
(07:15):
own mics because they can then just plug them kind
of like I do here. I use my own headset,
my own IFB if you will, and I plug it
in when I come in. I do my own plugins
here simply because I want to use my own equipment.
So when the show started and Brett Behar is doing
(07:36):
other things talking about other headlines, I'm already scratching my head,
like what's going on?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And then.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They cut to the interview, and she's walking in and
I'm thinking, my what, why are you just now walking in?
You've seen in with Joe Biden or Donald Trump others. Now,
sometimes they might introduce them and they walk in and
(08:07):
sit down, but they've already been miked up and everything else.
And you know, for example, when when Trump did the
Chicago Economic Club, you'll see Trump, you know, walk in
and take a seat, you know, wave to the crowd,
sit down. He's miked up, They've done the mic check beforehand,
he's ready to go, he's got his he's got his
makeup on everything. Boom, he sits down. So this this
(08:30):
is the first indicator to me that this is something odd,
there's something different. Then they start the interview and I'm
shocked because Brett Bear is doing what I would do.
Come right. And this is why I don't do interviews. Well,
(08:52):
one reason because I think they're lousy. I think most
radio interviews are lowsy interviews, and I I just have
a different style. But as a lawyer, if if I've
got a witness on the stand that does not answer
a question, I will keep coming back to that question
(09:14):
and may at some point ask the judge to instruct
the witness to answer the question. Now I try not
to do that, but I had done that in the past.
But why do I keep driving at answer the question?
Because the jury that's sitting over here listening to this
(09:36):
is curious now they know the witness hasn't answered the question.
But if I just blow by it and say, okay, well,
let's just go on to the next question, they they're
going to miss. The jury's going to miss an important
point that I want to make sure they understand.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So I'll keep.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Coming back to that question. Now in the courtroom, I've
got plenty of time. I may get impatient with me
and say, hey, let's move it along. But if a
judge is really a good judge, and a judge understands
the point that I'm trying to make for the jury,
the judge will give me great leeway to keep drilling
that witness until I get that answer. And Brett Behar
(10:16):
started out doing that, and I thought, Wow, my expectations
now are beginning to grow a little bit that Brett
Behar is going to do what I thought. Listen closely
that I thought you and I wanted someone to do
(10:37):
with Kamala Harris. Now Why do I emphasize that because
my expectations of Brett Bear's interview were, as I said,
in the basement. But when he started out with and
you'll hear it in just a second, the question about
the number of illegal aliens coming into the country and
(11:01):
you know whether that's the number you agree with or not,
and she wouldn't answer it, and he kept coming back
to it. I thought, Wow, this is an important thing,
because you want her to acknowledge that during their administration,
the number of illegal illegal aliens who have come into
this country is exorbitantly high. It is has just mushroomed
(11:24):
ballooned under your administration, and he wants her to admit that,
and he kept coming back to it. I thought that
was good. So this morning I wake up because I've
been live tweeting it and some people are responding as
I tweet, and then of course I know that people
get on Twitter at different times and then they look
(11:46):
at tweets and then they respond to it, and so
I know it comes in later. And so I woke
up to this, and the context is this. After the
interview was done, Fox News went to their panel.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Harold Ford Jr.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Was on that panel. Now I've dealt with Harold Ford Jr.
And I think he's a smart man. I think he's
very smart as a matter of fact. But Harold Ford
said something that kind of was like, really, I didn't
see that at all. We must have been watching two interviews.
(12:21):
I tweeted that, Harold Ford, or you really think that
she Kamala Harris really handled herself well in this interview?
What interview were you watching? Lots of respect for you,
but for you to start out saying that she handled
the interview well, belise your objective. One of our listeners
(12:44):
responded to that this way. Disagree totally, Michael. This was
a self centered, I am the cabal driven agenda of
Fox News. Given the fact bear Brett Behar seemed intent
on speaking over her parentheses, admittedly to stop the filibuster
(13:07):
close print, his questions were not opened into enough out
of the gate confrontational from the start.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Huh isn't that what we want? Don't we want?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I mean, you think about every ethan confrontational question that
cabal does to Donald Trump, and all I've been asking
for is for Kamala Harris to face a similar confrontational interview,
and to my surprise, we finally get that from of
(13:46):
all people, Brett Bear and at least one of you,
he's upset about that. I I'm bumfuzzled by that. We
finally get somebody on a putative, so called conservative network,
(14:11):
the Fox News is not really all that conservative to
actually ask some hard hitting questions and you think it
was wrong and you thought was confrontational. That's I thought
what we wanted. So now that's kind of the baseline
(14:32):
of what I thought about this interview, did I I
thought Kamala Harris Philip bustered. She didn't want to answer
any question. She doesn't have any original thoughts. She only
has her talking points that have somehow been you know,
(14:53):
glued into her brain. She has nothing original. The only
thing that she said that I thought was actually smart
on her part was when she said every president is
different and my administration will not be the same as
Joe Biden's. Okay, well, good, so now now that you've
(15:15):
admitted that that's a that's a great start. And if
and if you're saying that your administration is not going
to be the same as Joe Biden's, then then tell
us let us know how you're going to be different. Please,
do go on, Yeah, please go on, And that might
be where that might be one spot where I would
say that Brett Behar wasn't listening quite well enough, because
(15:36):
had I had, that would be like me turning my
back on a witness in a courtroom and hearing a
witness say something that holy these's batman, and I would
swing back around and say, well, now that you say that,
why don't you explain to the jury exactly how your
administration is going to be different from the one that
(15:58):
you've been an intra go part of for the past
four years, in which you have claimed that you have
been there for every major decision and that apparently you've
agreed with every one of those decisions. You broke the
tiele many of these votes. So please tell the jury
how you for four years will be different than you
(16:19):
have been for the past four years, because in this case,
past performance is indeed indicative of future performance.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Now, but that is the baseline. What I'd like to
do is uh, I want to go to mister Redbeard
because well, just tell me, tell me, tell tell the
goobers your reaction to it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It really felt that they have like three or four
main thoughts on her. It just really felt that she
was trying to fillibuster everything. Given the time constraints that
we now know that we're put on by her staff,
she tried to monopolize everything. She purposefully tried to word
(17:12):
salad every single question.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The other thing that Dragon pointed out that, well, you
were surprised because you know oftentimes I mean, you'll do
it to me. You'll listener in my ear, Hey you
gotta take Yeah, hey it's time to take a break
or whatever. So you you give me in my ear
the equivalent of, you know, the signal to your neck
(17:37):
to kind it kind of cut it, we get let
me get back. I want you to hear what Dragon
thought was going on when Brett Baher kept saying, hey,
I'm getting the signal that I got to cut this off,
because that tells you a lot about what her staff
thought about what was going on.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I really appreciate your insight on this first episode. I
know the show's only so long and we're about through
the first segment here, so I was wondering if you
could really kind of get to the expert you have
on the show. I think his name's Daggon or something
like that. Yeah, I would really like to hear from him. Thanks,
appreciate all you do. Have a great day, Joanna.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I'd like to call my first.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Witness well established his expert bona fides by explaining that
he used to tell Penis jokes all the time, and
now he wants to comment on a political interview in
the middle of a presidential race. So state your name
for the record, please, Daggon, Dagon bald head, Dagon, bald
headed old man.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Careful, that's sex with harass me.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I know, I keep I keep waiting for the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So we were talking before the break about Dragon's gonna,
you know, dv are it, which I don't want come
think of a I knew.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We were going to talk about it today because it's
such a momentous occasion that has so much momentum that yeah,
whatever words on, I can't and make words out like
she does.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So you really did, So you.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
And you really did what you were expecting to watch
a full hour. Yeah, and then you were super excited
happy that it was only twenty six minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I was surprised because I expected the full hour. As
we were discussing in the previous segment, we live by
the clock. Not only did we hear in radio do it,
television does it as well. So when I started, you know,
with my DVR, and I noted the time that it
was when that started, and I'm watching the interview and
then it crosses that mark to where normally commercials would
(19:37):
be and they're still going. I was like, Oh, okay,
they've just blown everything out and they're just gonna cram
right through it all and we're gonna get this fully
full hour in it and it's gonna be fantastic. All right,
let's go, let's do this. Then a few minutes later,
Brett's looking off to the side and you can clearly
see I mean, maybe it's just something that I see
(19:58):
because I work in that kind of indu, and he's
looking off and he's making wide gestures towards somebody who's
not on camera, and he's mentioning to the vice president, Hey,
we we need to wrap this up here. As a producer,
I am looking at as Brett's staff is giving him
(20:20):
the Hey, it's time to wrap up. We've got to
go to commercial, We've got to move on. Things of
that nature. Because that's just how my mind works. That's
the world that I live in here. But it was
absolutely shocking. As I left the TV on and kept,
you know, watching in the background, I hear that that's
not the case. That was her staff that was giving
(20:44):
him the Hey, we got to get out of this,
which is worrisome because I still have more to say.
I've got a lot to say as to one of
the last things that she was saying. So her staff
did not want her to keep talking.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Her staff wanted to get out of there as fast
as they could. In fact, it didn't even go thirty minutes.
It went twenty. I've got it pulled up. It went
like twenty six fifty two or something.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
And if you want punishment, you can go to Michael says,
go here dot com and you can watch the whole
thing again.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Or if you want punishment, you stick around because we're
gonna play some of it here too. The thing that
fascinated me about now, there's a difference. I'm gonna give
you a personal example. There's a difference between a president
and a vice president and the US senator. But I
interviewed Marco Rubio one time, and it was a it
(21:40):
was pre recorded.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I was in DC for.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
An event, and it was it was on immigration policy,
and Marco Rubio was there. He was one of the guys.
He was a member of the Gang of Eight. And
so I convinced Rubio's staff to let me interview Rubio.
And Rubio sat down and he's facing me, and I'm facing,
(22:05):
you know, like like like I'm against the wall at
a desk, so he's facing the wall. I'm facing away
from the wall, and I can see all the people
in his staff and all the people have gathered around.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
To watch me interview Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And because it's there's no time limit, they haven't set
a time limit. I haven't set a time limit. It's
pre recorded. We're going, you know, I'm going to chop
it up and use it later on. And this was
I think when I was over in Koa, and I'm
going to use this interview, and Rubio and I really
get into it about the comprehensive immigration legislations he's sponsoring,
(22:43):
because I think it's a piece of crap. And he
and I start going round and round and round on it,
and the more I dig at him, the more he
starts coming back to, you know, trying to defend the legislation.
And we're going back and forth like crazy. And then
I glance up and to Dragon's point, I see because
I had a producer there. But my producer sitting off
(23:06):
to the side watching this glorious thing going on without
because we don't have a care in the world about
the clock. But his staff is just furious because I'm
not bragging here, I'm just telling the house going. I
got him on the spot, I got him on the ropes.
(23:26):
He's really trying to defend it, and his staff is
signaling to.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Me to stop.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I mean, they're giving me the chop chop, like stop, stop, stop.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And I keep looking at them like and I'm literally thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
To myself, I don't work for you, you don't work
for me. I'm gonna keep going and I'm not gonna stop.
And they literally had to come around, and of course
it's radio. You couldn't do this until I suppose you
could do it on TV, but that would look bad
for your senators, so you're not going to do it.
So but on radio, they finally came around and Inner
(24:00):
erupted us and they turned like they came around and
faced Rubio and said, Senator, it's time to go. And
he looked up like oh, because I think he was
actually enjoying the gift. I think he was enjoying the debate,
and so he looked up like, oh, okay, and so
they took him by the arm and they pulled him
(24:20):
away for Harris's staff to say, it's time to go
when you've agreed on thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
The other important point about the logistics that we described
at the beginning of the hour, she was running late.
She came in late. Now, whether that was purposeful or
just because they were running behind schedule, I don't know,
and I don't care, but I think that Fox News,
(24:53):
to their credit, was.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Willing to go at full thirty.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Minutes, even if they had to shift spot blocks. Because
you've got the freaking vice president who is not done
to sit down interview with any sort of in this case,
a confrontational interview with serious questions. This was not the view,
and so I think the staff was panic stricken and
(25:20):
they were trying to get her out of there as
quickly as possible.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
It's a real big bummer that somebody on her staff
was almost literally sitting there with a stopwatch, yeah and
going all right, and we're.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Done, yeah, and let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
That's not a thing that we're used to. We are
used to following that here in the interviewe interviewers side
going all right, we've got a hard clock.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
We've got to get out.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
So when we're told we can have X time, we're
going to take X time. And then when you are
cutting it short, it's like, no, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Although it does remind me of a couple of times
when we've done interviews where I've done interviews this is
pre Dragon, where you probably would have told me this,
riend of my ear, this is awful stop. But I've
done interviews where the person is so bad that they
might be scheduled for two segments and I'm just trying
to drag it out to get to the break time.
(26:18):
And so I can say thank you, and then I'll
literally stand up at this console and go over and
shake their hand and say thank you for coming in,
and escort them at the road.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah there's a.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Door, thank you, thank you for coming in. So I
just want to emphasize that for the first time, I
thought we got a Now, look, you and I can
both nitpick Brent Behar and there's nothing wrong with that.
I've got a text message that I think is a
(26:51):
great example here Guba number zero two three eight. As
you know, we watched this together. No, I guess I
didn't know we were watching it together. Brat Bear is a
weak stick milk toast when I'm not sure must have
(27:11):
been doing this by voice. She Kamala Harris. He means
her pulled that nonsense like she did on Tulci Gabbart.
Brett Bear should have said, Madam, with all due respect,
this interview is about you, not Donald Trump. Yeah, that
would have been a great line. When she kept going,
(27:34):
he would ask her, you know, do you believe the
sun rises in the east? Well, you know Donald Trump's
been you know, he could have easily said, uh, madd
and Vice President, we're talking about you and your administration
and what you want to do as president, not Donald Trump. Yeah,
he could have done that.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I also enjoyed the parts where Joe Biden is not
on the ballot. Biden is not on the ballot.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
He's not. I am shock.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'm shocked. So anyway, let's just work our way through
a little bit of this.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Yeah, that immigration is one of the key issues that
they're looking at this election, and specifically the influx of
illegal immigrants from more than one hundred and fifty countries.
How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has
released into the country over the last three and a
half years?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Very first question, how many illegal immigrants would you estimate
your administration has let in the country over the past
three and a half years.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because
I agree with you. It is a topic of discussion
that people want to rightly have and you know what
I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, but you're just a number.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Do you think it's one million, three million?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Brett.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Let's just get to the point, and that's when you
knew it was going to be a good time. That's right,
Just give me a number now.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Somebody also mentioned, let me go back to Twitter, because again,
different people have different perspectives.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Again, so I said, I tweeted out this quote.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
This is this is a quote from Harold Ford quote.
She has to be pleased with how she performed this
evening closed quote. And then I asked of my Twitter audience,
what do all of you think? Well, Brad answered this way,
she demonstrated the she demonstrated the inability to work at
(29:37):
a high level without getting pissed. And I thought that
was because if you look at her, if you go
to Michael says go here dot com, or if you
watched this last yesterday, you know that right off the bat,
she's pissed off.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Okay, the point is that we have a broken immigration
system that needs to be repaired.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So your Homeland Security secretary said that eighty five percent
of apprehension.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I'm not finished.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
We have a we have a refreshment of six million
people have been released.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Into the country. And let me just finish, and I'll
get you the question.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I promise you I was beginning to answer.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
And when when you came to office, your administration immediately
reversed a number of Trump border policies, most significantly the
policy that required illegal immigrants to be detained through deportation, either.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
In the US or in Mexico. And you switched that policy.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
They were released from custody awaiting trial, so instead included
in those or a large number of single men, adult
men who went on to commit heinous crimes. So, looking back,
do you regret the decision to terminate remain in Mexico
at the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Now, let's take a break. When we get back, I'll
explain to you why I think Brett Bear. Brett Bear
did something here that I thought was pretty smart and
an attempt to recognize that she was not going to
answer the question.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Good morning from South Dakota.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
I bet next time Kamala visits Rapid City, she doesn't
get out of her car at Bear Country, USA.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Everyone have a great day, good grief, Bear Country. That's funny, okay,
if you say so.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Let's see there was a text message that I wanted
to get to that fits in pretty well.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I don't see the point in watching any interviews of politicians.
They are asking a question they never answered. You can
bet that no question pose will be answered directly. It's
a fundamental issue with our system. People's feet are not
held to the fire in defensive rat Bear. While again
I would, as I explained it at the beginning of
(31:52):
the segment, my questioning of even the vice president would
have been different. Now, at some point, because it's not
a jury, you realize you're not going to get anywhere.
And I think this is the point that we're at
with Brett Bar.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
In this question.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
He knows he's not going to get any further, and
so he does something that I think is pretty smart.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Instead, included in those were large number of.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Included he tried to get her to admit, or to name,
or to specify the number of illegal aliens that have
come into the country during her administration. She refused to
do that, So he comes at it a different way.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Englemen adult men who went on to commit Hain's crimes. So,
looking back, do you regret the decision to terminate remain
in Mexico at the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Now that's a legitimate question, because remain in Mexico worked
during the Trump administration. You saw it asylum. You had
to stay in Mexico until you were adjudicated. That took
some time, sometimes years, so you would finally just go
back to your country, or you just end up living
in Mexico. You wouldn't come into this country. Their recision
(33:10):
of Trump's executive orders is the very beginning of this
flood of illegal immigrants into this country.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
Her answer, the beginning of our administration, within practically hours
of taking the oath, the first bill that we offered Congress,
before we worked on infrastructure, before the Inflation and Reduction Act,
before the Chips and Science Act, before any before the
(33:38):
Bipartisan Safety Communities Act. The first bill practically within hours
of taking the oath was a bill to fix our
immigration system.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
It was called the US Citizen citizens Troop Act of
two thousand exactly twenty one actually, but operator Citizenship.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
I finished, man, I finished responding for ease, but.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You have to let me.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
And you had the White House and the House and
the Senate, and then they did never bring.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Up responding to the point.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
He's actually holding her feet to the fire. Now he's
not getting anywhere, but he's attempting
Good morning, just a mere nineteen days left before the election.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Let me just tell you where the program's going this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I could do an entire four hours about a twenty
six minute interview that I watched last night.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
You're going to filibuster your own show.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm gonna filibuster my own show. But I am not
going to do it because I'll lose interest and you'll
lose interest, and we have other things to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
But I do want to, and I apologize.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
In advance, but I want to bring my producer, Dragon Redbeard,
into a lot of this conversation because he.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm the blissful idiot, the headline guy, the guy that
barely pays attention.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Thank you for.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Saying that, because I was trying to think of a
diplomatic way of saying, here's the guy from the third
floor that just told Penis jokes for most of his
entire professional career, who's now been sucked into the vortex.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Devring this damn interview because it happened while I was
working out. So once I was done working out, I
decided to watch this DVR interview.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
See what wonderful that was wrong with me?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
See what wonderful influence I have on people, how to
win friends and influence people. But I'm fascinated because let
me set the stage for a few basic things about
obviously referring to Brett Bear, his interview on Fox News
yesterday at six eastern four Mountain that really didn't begin
(01:34):
until four fifteen or whatever it was, and I want
to I want to describe that because there may be
some things that that I observed, having having been in
television studios, having been in now that obviously wasn't in
the Fox News studio, but having actually been in the
Fox News studios in New York UH and in DC
(01:56):
I I, and just having done lots of interviews like this,
I kind of know the logistics of how it works.
So I sit down last night to watch this interview. Now,
let me tell you what's my mindset before I talk
about anything substantive or procedural about the interview.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Substantively, I sat down, and.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
My expectations were kind of down in my I'm I'm
on our main floor, and my expectations are down in
our basement because it's Brett Bear, and I don't have
very high expectations for Brett beher to conduct what I
would think would be a hard hitting interview, because I
(02:46):
do believe that Brett Bear to some degree not I mean,
you're either a member of the cabal or you're not.
But you can be a lifetime member, like you've paid
your dues up front and you're never going to change.
Or you could be a neophyte, a newbie, and you've
got your first job in news and you you're now
(03:08):
a member of the cabal, but you're not. It's not
in your DNA yet. And in fact, you have an
opportunity as we now see across the landscape of all
media that freelancers and others, podcasters and others, there are
a lot of hard hitting people that are doing hard
hitting interviews. So my expectations were pretty low about this interview.
(03:31):
I will say that I was shocked. I was pleasantly
surprised at how hard hitting of an interview Brett Bair did.
Here's how I described it to drive, and I'm going
to compare and contrast that because I did life tweet
it and some of the responses and replies that I
(03:55):
got from some of you who listened to this broke
shocked me. Uh And I know your listeners because you
use the term cabal and so I know you listen
to me. Now let's back up and talk about first
the logistics about what took place. So here, I am
(04:20):
all excited at you know, four pm, ready to watch
what I'm hoping is going to be a really hard
hitting interview where she's going to be asked some tough
questions at the same time that I'm like, yeah, but
you know what I'm gonna I know I'm.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Going to be disappointed real quick. I just want to
jump in here too. When we were I DVRD this
episode of Brett Baer and as I'm going through my
phone to make sure I've got the right one, the
program is an hour long. So in my mindset, nobody
said anything as to whether how long this interview is
going to be. But I've been thinking, oh, his program's
(04:57):
an hour. I'm going to expect nearly an hour of
an interview with Brett and Kamala has And I.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Agree with you, except that in the back of my
mind I thought that I was confused. I thought it
was going to be an hour long interview, but I
also thought I had heard there was going to be
a thirty minute interview. But regardless because of you know,
Dragon and I have talked about how we are. We
are married to the clock, and the clock for these
(05:27):
four hours pretty much controls our life. Well, the same
is true in television. Television is even stricter because it's
obviously national and nationwide. It's like me on my weekend program.
I've got to hit brakes at certain times. And you
may have heard on the on the syndicated program, or
I might have missed you know, i might have not
(05:49):
heard the outro music and I missed a hard break
and I'm in the middle of a sentence and he
goes to break regardless, because that's the network, baby, and
I and I screw it up.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
If we producers don't care, it's time to shut up.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
A right, It's time to shut up, and we're moving on.
So I'm expecting. Here's what I'm expecting when I've done
interviews on television, whether it's in their studio or one
of their satellite studios. I show up ahead of time
sometime and I've kind of figured out how much how
long it takes. I need, you know, about five or
(06:25):
ten minutes for makeup because I'm pretty ugly. And then
they got to mic you up, and then they put.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You in the chair.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And if you're in a satellite studio, like if I'm
in the Fox Phil if I'm in the Fox studios
in Denver for the Fox National, then I also know
that I need to get in the chair. And in fact,
the producers in New York want me in the chair
early so that they can do the camp. They can
(06:52):
get the camera shot ready, they can do the sound check,
they can make sure that in the IFB in my
ear that I can hear New York. And so I
sit in the chair and then I wait. Now it's
slightly different, obviously for the president and the vice president.
They will do the makeup separately. They will do in fact,
they will do their own makeup. They will do their
(07:15):
own mics because they can then just plug them kind
of like I do here. I use my own headset,
my own IFB if you will, and I plug it
in when I come in. I do my own plugins
here simply because I want to use my own equipment.
So when the show started and Brett Behar is doing
(07:36):
other things talking about other headlines, I'm already scratching my head,
like what's going on?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And then.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They cut to the interview, and she's walking in and
I'm thinking, my what, why are you just now walking in?
You've seen in with Joe Biden or Donald Trump others. Now,
sometimes they might introduce them and they walk in and
(08:07):
sit down, but they've already been miked up and everything else.
And you know, for example, when when Trump did the
Chicago Economic Club, you'll see Trump, you know, walk in
and take a seat, you know, wave to the crowd,
sit down. He's miked up, They've done the mic check beforehand,
he's ready to go, he's got his he's got his
makeup on everything. Boom, he sits down. So this this
(08:30):
is the first indicator to me that this is something odd,
there's something different. Then they start the interview and I'm
shocked because Brett Bear is doing what I would do.
Come right. And this is why I don't do interviews. Well,
(08:52):
one reason because I think they're lousy. I think most
radio interviews are lowsy interviews, and I I just have
a different style. But as a lawyer, if if I've
got a witness on the stand that does not answer
a question, I will keep coming back to that question
(09:14):
and may at some point ask the judge to instruct
the witness to answer the question. Now I try not
to do that, but I had done that in the past.
But why do I keep driving at answer the question?
Because the jury that's sitting over here listening to this
(09:36):
is curious now they know the witness hasn't answered the question.
But if I just blow by it and say, okay, well,
let's just go on to the next question, they they're
going to miss. The jury's going to miss an important
point that I want to make sure they understand.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So I'll keep.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Coming back to that question. Now in the courtroom, I've
got plenty of time. I may get impatient with me
and say, hey, let's move it along. But if a
judge is really a good judge, and a judge understands
the point that I'm trying to make for the jury,
the judge will give me great leeway to keep drilling
that witness until I get that answer. And Brett Behar
(10:16):
started out doing that, and I thought, Wow, my expectations
now are beginning to grow a little bit that Brett
Behar is going to do what I thought. Listen closely
that I thought you and I wanted someone to do
(10:37):
with Kamala Harris. Now Why do I emphasize that because
my expectations of Brett Bear's interview were, as I said,
in the basement. But when he started out with and
you'll hear it in just a second, the question about
the number of illegal aliens coming into the country and
(11:01):
you know whether that's the number you agree with or not,
and she wouldn't answer it, and he kept coming back
to it. I thought, Wow, this is an important thing,
because you want her to acknowledge that during their administration,
the number of illegal illegal aliens who have come into
this country is exorbitantly high. It is has just mushroomed
(11:24):
ballooned under your administration, and he wants her to admit that,
and he kept coming back to it. I thought that
was good. So this morning I wake up because I've
been live tweeting it and some people are responding as
I tweet, and then of course I know that people
get on Twitter at different times and then they look
(11:46):
at tweets and then they respond to it, and so
I know it comes in later. And so I woke
up to this, and the context is this. After the
interview was done, Fox News went to their panel.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Harold Ford Jr.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Was on that panel. Now I've dealt with Harold Ford Jr.
And I think he's a smart man. I think he's
very smart as a matter of fact. But Harold Ford
said something that kind of was like, really, I didn't
see that at all. We must have been watching two interviews.
(12:21):
I tweeted that, Harold Ford, or you really think that
she Kamala Harris really handled herself well in this interview?
What interview were you watching? Lots of respect for you,
but for you to start out saying that she handled
the interview well, belise your objective. One of our listeners
(12:44):
responded to that this way. Disagree totally, Michael. This was
a self centered, I am the cabal driven agenda of
Fox News. Given the fact bear Brett Behar seemed intent
on speaking over her parentheses, admittedly to stop the filibuster
(13:07):
close print, his questions were not opened into enough out
of the gate confrontational from the start.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Huh isn't that what we want? Don't we want?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I mean, you think about every ethan confrontational question that
cabal does to Donald Trump, and all I've been asking
for is for Kamala Harris to face a similar confrontational interview,
and to my surprise, we finally get that from of
(13:46):
all people, Brett Bear and at least one of you,
he's upset about that. I I'm bumfuzzled by that. We
finally get somebody on a putative, so called conservative network,
(14:11):
the Fox News is not really all that conservative to
actually ask some hard hitting questions and you think it
was wrong and you thought was confrontational. That's I thought
what we wanted. So now that's kind of the baseline
(14:32):
of what I thought about this interview, did I I
thought Kamala Harris Philip bustered. She didn't want to answer
any question. She doesn't have any original thoughts. She only
has her talking points that have somehow been you know,
(14:53):
glued into her brain. She has nothing original. The only
thing that she said that I thought was actually smart
on her part was when she said every president is
different and my administration will not be the same as
Joe Biden's. Okay, well, good, so now now that you've
(15:15):
admitted that that's a that's a great start. And if
and if you're saying that your administration is not going
to be the same as Joe Biden's, then then tell
us let us know how you're going to be different. Please,
do go on, Yeah, please go on, And that might
be where that might be one spot where I would
say that Brett Behar wasn't listening quite well enough, because
(15:36):
had I had, that would be like me turning my
back on a witness in a courtroom and hearing a
witness say something that holy these's batman, and I would
swing back around and say, well, now that you say that,
why don't you explain to the jury exactly how your
administration is going to be different from the one that
(15:58):
you've been an intra go part of for the past
four years, in which you have claimed that you have
been there for every major decision and that apparently you've
agreed with every one of those decisions. You broke the
tiele many of these votes. So please tell the jury
how you for four years will be different than you
(16:19):
have been for the past four years, because in this case,
past performance is indeed indicative of future performance.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Now, but that is the baseline. What I'd like to
do is uh, I want to go to mister Redbeard
because well, just tell me, tell me, tell tell the
goobers your reaction to it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It really felt that they have like three or four
main thoughts on her. It just really felt that she
was trying to fillibuster everything. Given the time constraints that
we now know that we're put on by her staff,
she tried to monopolize everything. She purposefully tried to word
(17:12):
salad every single question.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The other thing that Dragon pointed out that, well, you
were surprised because you know oftentimes I mean, you'll do
it to me. You'll listener in my ear, Hey you
gotta take Yeah, hey it's time to take a break
or whatever. So you you give me in my ear
the equivalent of, you know, the signal to your neck
(17:37):
to kind it kind of cut it, we get let
me get back. I want you to hear what Dragon
thought was going on when Brett Baher kept saying, hey,
I'm getting the signal that I got to cut this off,
because that tells you a lot about what her staff
thought about what was going on.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I really appreciate your insight on this first episode. I
know the show's only so long and we're about through
the first segment here, so I was wondering if you
could really kind of get to the expert you have
on the show. I think his name's Daggon or something
like that. Yeah, I would really like to hear from him. Thanks,
appreciate all you do. Have a great day, Joanna.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I'd like to call my first.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Witness well established his expert bona fides by explaining that
he used to tell Penis jokes all the time, and
now he wants to comment on a political interview in
the middle of a presidential race. So state your name
for the record, please, Daggon, Dagon bald head, Dagon, bald
headed old man.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Careful, that's sex with harass me.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I know, I keep I keep waiting for the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So we were talking before the break about Dragon's gonna,
you know, dv are it, which I don't want come
think of a I knew.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We were going to talk about it today because it's
such a momentous occasion that has so much momentum that yeah,
whatever words on, I can't and make words out like
she does.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So you really did, So you.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
And you really did what you were expecting to watch
a full hour. Yeah, and then you were super excited
happy that it was only twenty six minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I was surprised because I expected the full hour. As
we were discussing in the previous segment, we live by
the clock. Not only did we hear in radio do it,
television does it as well. So when I started, you know,
with my DVR, and I noted the time that it
was when that started, and I'm watching the interview and
then it crosses that mark to where normally commercials would
(19:37):
be and they're still going. I was like, Oh, okay,
they've just blown everything out and they're just gonna cram
right through it all and we're gonna get this fully
full hour in it and it's gonna be fantastic. All right,
let's go, let's do this. Then a few minutes later,
Brett's looking off to the side and you can clearly
see I mean, maybe it's just something that I see
(19:58):
because I work in that kind of indu, and he's
looking off and he's making wide gestures towards somebody who's
not on camera, and he's mentioning to the vice president, Hey,
we we need to wrap this up here. As a producer,
I am looking at as Brett's staff is giving him
(20:20):
the Hey, it's time to wrap up. We've got to
go to commercial, We've got to move on. Things of
that nature. Because that's just how my mind works. That's
the world that I live in here. But it was
absolutely shocking. As I left the TV on and kept,
you know, watching in the background, I hear that that's
not the case. That was her staff that was giving
(20:44):
him the Hey, we got to get out of this,
which is worrisome because I still have more to say.
I've got a lot to say as to one of
the last things that she was saying. So her staff
did not want her to keep talking.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Her staff wanted to get out of there as fast
as they could. In fact, it didn't even go thirty minutes.
It went twenty. I've got it pulled up. It went
like twenty six fifty two or something.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
And if you want punishment, you can go to Michael says,
go here dot com and you can watch the whole
thing again.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Or if you want punishment, you stick around because we're
gonna play some of it here too. The thing that
fascinated me about now, there's a difference. I'm gonna give
you a personal example. There's a difference between a president
and a vice president and the US senator. But I
interviewed Marco Rubio one time, and it was a it
(21:40):
was pre recorded.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I was in DC for.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
An event, and it was it was on immigration policy,
and Marco Rubio was there. He was one of the guys.
He was a member of the Gang of Eight. And
so I convinced Rubio's staff to let me interview Rubio.
And Rubio sat down and he's facing me, and I'm facing,
(22:05):
you know, like like like I'm against the wall at
a desk, so he's facing the wall. I'm facing away
from the wall, and I can see all the people
in his staff and all the people have gathered around.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
To watch me interview Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And because it's there's no time limit, they haven't set
a time limit. I haven't set a time limit. It's
pre recorded. We're going, you know, I'm going to chop
it up and use it later on. And this was
I think when I was over in Koa, and I'm
going to use this interview, and Rubio and I really
get into it about the comprehensive immigration legislations he's sponsoring,
(22:43):
because I think it's a piece of crap. And he
and I start going round and round and round on it,
and the more I dig at him, the more he
starts coming back to, you know, trying to defend the legislation.
And we're going back and forth like crazy. And then
I glance up and to Dragon's point, I see because
I had a producer there. But my producer sitting off
(23:06):
to the side watching this glorious thing going on without
because we don't have a care in the world about
the clock. But his staff is just furious because I'm
not bragging here, I'm just telling the house going. I
got him on the spot, I got him on the ropes.
(23:26):
He's really trying to defend it, and his staff is
signaling to.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Me to stop.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I mean, they're giving me the chop chop, like stop, stop, stop.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And I keep looking at them like and I'm literally thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
To myself, I don't work for you, you don't work
for me. I'm gonna keep going and I'm not gonna stop.
And they literally had to come around, and of course
it's radio. You couldn't do this until I suppose you
could do it on TV, but that would look bad
for your senators, so you're not going to do it.
So but on radio, they finally came around and Inner
(24:00):
erupted us and they turned like they came around and
faced Rubio and said, Senator, it's time to go. And
he looked up like oh, because I think he was
actually enjoying the gift. I think he was enjoying the debate,
and so he looked up like, oh, okay, and so
they took him by the arm and they pulled him
(24:20):
away for Harris's staff to say, it's time to go
when you've agreed on thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
The other important point about the logistics that we described
at the beginning of the hour, she was running late.
She came in late. Now, whether that was purposeful or
just because they were running behind schedule, I don't know,
and I don't care, but I think that Fox News,
(24:53):
to their credit, was.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Willing to go at full thirty.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Minutes, even if they had to shift spot blocks. Because
you've got the freaking vice president who is not done
to sit down interview with any sort of in this case,
a confrontational interview with serious questions. This was not the view,
and so I think the staff was panic stricken and
(25:20):
they were trying to get her out of there as
quickly as possible.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
It's a real big bummer that somebody on her staff
was almost literally sitting there with a stopwatch, yeah and
going all right, and we're.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Done, yeah, and let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
That's not a thing that we're used to. We are
used to following that here in the interviewe interviewers side
going all right, we've got a hard clock.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
We've got to get out.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
So when we're told we can have X time, we're
going to take X time. And then when you are
cutting it short, it's like, no, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Although it does remind me of a couple of times
when we've done interviews where I've done interviews this is
pre Dragon, where you probably would have told me this,
riend of my ear, this is awful stop. But I've
done interviews where the person is so bad that they
might be scheduled for two segments and I'm just trying
to drag it out to get to the break time.
(26:18):
And so I can say thank you, and then I'll
literally stand up at this console and go over and
shake their hand and say thank you for coming in,
and escort them at the road.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah there's a.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Door, thank you, thank you for coming in. So I
just want to emphasize that for the first time, I
thought we got a Now, look, you and I can
both nitpick Brent Behar and there's nothing wrong with that.
I've got a text message that I think is a
(26:51):
great example here Guba number zero two three eight. As
you know, we watched this together. No, I guess I
didn't know we were watching it together. Brat Bear is a
weak stick milk toast when I'm not sure must have
(27:11):
been doing this by voice. She Kamala Harris. He means
her pulled that nonsense like she did on Tulci Gabbart.
Brett Bear should have said, Madam, with all due respect,
this interview is about you, not Donald Trump. Yeah, that
would have been a great line. When she kept going,
(27:34):
he would ask her, you know, do you believe the
sun rises in the east? Well, you know Donald Trump's
been you know, he could have easily said, uh, madd
and Vice President, we're talking about you and your administration
and what you want to do as president, not Donald Trump. Yeah,
he could have done that.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I also enjoyed the parts where Joe Biden is not
on the ballot. Biden is not on the ballot.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
He's not. I am shock.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'm shocked. So anyway, let's just work our way through
a little bit of this.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Yeah, that immigration is one of the key issues that
they're looking at this election, and specifically the influx of
illegal immigrants from more than one hundred and fifty countries.
How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has
released into the country over the last three and a
half years?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Very first question, how many illegal immigrants would you estimate
your administration has let in the country over the past
three and a half years.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because
I agree with you. It is a topic of discussion
that people want to rightly have and you know what
I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, but you're just a number.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Do you think it's one million, three million?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Brett.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Let's just get to the point, and that's when you
knew it was going to be a good time. That's right,
Just give me a number now.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Somebody also mentioned, let me go back to Twitter, because again,
different people have different perspectives.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Again, so I said, I tweeted out this quote.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
This is this is a quote from Harold Ford quote.
She has to be pleased with how she performed this
evening closed quote. And then I asked of my Twitter audience,
what do all of you think? Well, Brad answered this way,
she demonstrated the she demonstrated the inability to work at
(29:37):
a high level without getting pissed. And I thought that
was because if you look at her, if you go
to Michael says go here dot com, or if you
watched this last yesterday, you know that right off the bat,
she's pissed off.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Okay, the point is that we have a broken immigration
system that needs to be repaired.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So your Homeland Security secretary said that eighty five percent
of apprehension.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I'm not finished.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
We have a we have a refreshment of six million
people have been released.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Into the country. And let me just finish, and I'll
get you the question.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I promise you I was beginning to answer.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
And when when you came to office, your administration immediately
reversed a number of Trump border policies, most significantly the
policy that required illegal immigrants to be detained through deportation, either.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
In the US or in Mexico. And you switched that policy.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
They were released from custody awaiting trial, so instead included
in those or a large number of single men, adult
men who went on to commit heinous crimes. So, looking back,
do you regret the decision to terminate remain in Mexico
at the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Now, let's take a break. When we get back, I'll
explain to you why I think Brett Bear. Brett Bear
did something here that I thought was pretty smart and
an attempt to recognize that she was not going to
answer the question.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Good morning from South Dakota.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
I bet next time Kamala visits Rapid City, she doesn't
get out of her car at Bear Country, USA.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Everyone have a great day, good grief, Bear Country. That's funny, okay,
if you say so.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Let's see there was a text message that I wanted
to get to that fits in pretty well.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I don't see the point in watching any interviews of politicians.
They are asking a question they never answered. You can
bet that no question pose will be answered directly. It's
a fundamental issue with our system. People's feet are not
held to the fire in defensive rat Bear. While again
I would, as I explained it at the beginning of
(31:52):
the segment, my questioning of even the vice president would
have been different. Now, at some point, because it's not
a jury, you realize you're not going to get anywhere.
And I think this is the point that we're at
with Brett Bar.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
In this question.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
He knows he's not going to get any further, and
so he does something that I think is pretty smart.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Instead, included in those were large number of.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Included he tried to get her to admit, or to name,
or to specify the number of illegal aliens that have
come into the country during her administration. She refused to
do that, So he comes at it a different way.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Englemen adult men who went on to commit Hain's crimes. So,
looking back, do you regret the decision to terminate remain
in Mexico at the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Now that's a legitimate question, because remain in Mexico worked
during the Trump administration. You saw it asylum. You had
to stay in Mexico until you were adjudicated. That took
some time, sometimes years, so you would finally just go
back to your country, or you just end up living
in Mexico. You wouldn't come into this country. Their recision
(33:10):
of Trump's executive orders is the very beginning of this
flood of illegal immigrants into this country.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
Her answer, the beginning of our administration, within practically hours
of taking the oath, the first bill that we offered Congress,
before we worked on infrastructure, before the Inflation and Reduction Act,
before the Chips and Science Act, before any before the
(33:38):
Bipartisan Safety Communities Act. The first bill practically within hours
of taking the oath was a bill to fix our
immigration system.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
It was called the US Citizen citizens Troop Act of
two thousand exactly twenty one actually, but operator Citizenship.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
I finished, man, I finished responding for ease, but.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You have to let me.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
And you had the White House and the House and
the Senate, and then they did never bring.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Up responding to the point.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
He's actually holding her feet to the fire. Now he's
not getting anywhere, but he's attempting
