  • I saw president the screen. people forget the first
  • 00:17:41.289 --> 00:17:41.856
  • People forget the first mid-decade redistricting has
  • 00:17:41.990 --> 00:17:45.093
  • Mid-decade redistricting has happened this decade was not
  • 00:17:45.226 --> 00:17:45.793
  • Happened this decade was not texas.
  • 00:17:45.927 --> 00:17:46.094
  • Texas. it was new york and 2024 the
  • 00:17:46.227 --> 00:17:47.929
  • It was new york and 2024 the new york legislature rejected,
  • 00:17:48.062 --> 00:17:51.699
  • New york legislature rejected, the independent redistricting
  • 00:17:51.833 --> 00:17:52.400
  • The independent redistricting commission new york said no,
  • 00:17:52.533 --> 00:17:53.101
  • Commission new york said no, draw a partizan map.
  • 00:17:53.234 --> 00:17:55.603
  • Draw a partizan map. they picked up three or four
  • 00:17:55.737 --> 00:17:56.371
  • They picked up three or four additional congressional seats.
  • 00:17:56.504 --> 00:17:57.105
  • Additional congressional seats. obviously texas what they did.
  • 00:17:57.238 --> 00:17:59.374
  • Obviously texas what they did. california then went ahead and
  • 00:17:59.507 --> 00:18:00.108
  • California then went ahead and they went drew their maps.
  • 00:18:00.241 --> 00:18:03.978
  • They went drew their maps. so all these states are doing
  • 00:18:04.112 --> 00:18:04.946
  • So all these states are doing this and democrat states.
  • 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.482
  • This and democrat states. but what we've seen in virginia
  • 00:18:07.615 --> 00:18:08.283
  • But what we've seen in virginia is we're not doing this.
  • 00:18:08.416 --> 00:18:11.319
  • Is we're not doing this. politicians shouldn't allow to
  • 00:18:11.452 --> 00:18:12.053
  • Politicians shouldn't allow to do this and we have something
  • 00:18:12.186 --> 00:18:12.787
  • Do this and we have something that these other other states
  • 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.689
  • That these other other states don't have a constitutional
  • 00:18:14.822 --> 00:18:15.390
  • Don't have a constitutional amendment that the voters have
  • 00:18:15.523 --> 00:18:16.157
  • Amendment that the voters have approved of.
  • 00:18:16.291 --> 00:18:18.793
  • Approved of. in this case they have
  • 00:18:18.926 --> 00:18:19.527
  • In this case they have knowingly violated the law in
  • 00:18:19.661 --> 00:18:20.261
  • Knowingly violated the law in virginia, the in constitutional
  • 00:18:20.395 --> 00:18:22.497
  • Virginia, the in constitutional law virginia says for example,
  • 00:18:22.630 --> 00:18:23.264
  • Law virginia says for example, you have to post the amendment
  • 00:18:23.398 --> 00:18:25.833
  • You have to post the amendment days before an election.
  • 00:18:25.967 --> 00:18:26.467
  • Days before an election. they never did that and the
  • 00:18:26.601 --> 00:18:27.335
  • They never did that and the democratic admits they didn't
  • 00:18:27.468 --> 00:18:30.405
  • Democratic admits they didn't do that.
  • 00:18:30.538 --> 00:18:30.738
  • Do that. so far the courts have allowed
  • 00:18:30.872 --> 00:18:31.472
  • So far the courts have allowed this to go to go through.
  • 00:18:31.606 --> 00:18:33.675
  • This to go to go through. this is an egregious power grab
  • 00:18:33.808 --> 00:18:34.442
  • This is an egregious power grab for politicians not voters and
  • 00:18:34.575 --> 00:18:37.645
  • For politicians not voters and it's really i think an insult
  • 00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:38.379
  • It's really i think an insult to virginia voters that two
  • 00:18:38.513 --> 00:18:40.648
  • To virginia voters that two thirds of them said we don't
  • 00:18:40.782 --> 00:18:41.382
  • Thirds of them said we don't want this.
  • 00:18:41.516 --> 00:18:41.749
  • Want this. we don't want making these
  • 00:18:41.883 --> 00:18:44.185
  • We don't want making these maneuvers because again, it's
  • 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:44.919
  • Maneuvers because again, it's politicians not serving the
  • 00:18:45.053 --> 00:18:48.256
  • Politicians not serving the citizens.
  • 00:18:48.389 --> 00:18:48.623
  • Citizens. >> i've got to ask and and i
  • 00:18:48.756 --> 00:18:51.559
  • >> i've got to ask and and i understand you're a lawyer.
  • 00:18:51.693 --> 00:18:52.226
  • Understand you're a lawyer. you're a former attorney
  • 00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:52.860
  • You're a former attorney general so i'm asking you to
  • 00:18:52.994 --> 00:18:55.396
  • General so i'm asking you to second guess the virginia
  • 00:18:55.530 --> 00:18:56.030
  • Second guess the virginia supreme.
  • 00:18:56.164 --> 00:18:59.067
  • Supreme. >> why did they not say that
  • 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.370
  • >> why did they not say that this shouldn't happen?
  • 00:19:02.503 --> 00:19:02.937
  • This shouldn't happen? >> i mean there's a lot of
  • 00:19:03.071 --> 00:19:06.474
  • >> i mean there's a lot of curiosity there.
  • 00:19:06.607 --> 00:19:06.974
  • Curiosity there. i'm not sure why.
  • 00:19:07.108 --> 00:19:07.508
  • I'm not sure why. to me this is exactly the role
  • 00:19:07.642 --> 00:19:10.712
  • To me this is exactly the role of judges is to step in when
  • 00:19:10.845 --> 00:19:11.479
  • Of judges is to step in when politicians are getting out of
  • 00:19:11.612 --> 00:19:14.115
  • Politicians are getting out of their skis.
  • 00:19:14.248 --> 00:19:14.515
  • Their skis. they have said they're going to
  • 00:19:14.649 --> 00:19:15.283
  • They have said they're going to wait till after.
  • 00:19:15.416 --> 00:19:18.152
  • Wait till after. then we'll be ripe to be heard.
  • 00:19:18.286 --> 00:19:19.153
  • Then we'll be ripe to be heard. i find that very, very very
  • 00:19:19.287 --> 00:19:21.589
  • I find that very, very very curious at this point.
  • 00:19:21.723 --> 00:19:22.223
  • Curious at this point. i'm not sure what their
  • 00:19:22.357 --> 00:19:22.857
  • I'm not sure what their thinking is.
  • 00:19:22.990 --> 00:19:25.026
  • Thinking is. they'll have to be able to
  • 00:19:25.159 --> 00:19:25.793
  • They'll have to be able to explain their reasoning at a
  • 00:19:25.927 --> 00:19:26.494
  • Explain their reasoning at a later date.
  • 00:19:26.627 --> 00:19:26.894
  • Later date. of commentators that have a lot
  • 00:19:28.796 --> 00:19:29.630
  • Of commentators that have a lot of speculation but our goal
  • 00:19:29.764 --> 00:19:30.298
  • Of speculation but our goal right now now is to defeat this
  • 00:19:30.431 --> 00:19:33.568
  • Right now now is to defeat this at the ballot box voting is
  • 00:19:33.701 --> 00:19:34.268
  • At the ballot box voting is happening now.
  • 00:19:34.402 --> 00:19:34.736
  • Happening now. you don't have to wait till

  • You don't have to wait till april till april 21st.
  • 00:19:35.603 --> 00:19:36.838
  • April till april 21st. you're probably talking about a
  • 00:19:36.971 --> 00:19:37.672
  • You're probably talking about a voter turnout of maybe 18 to
  • 00:19:37.805 --> 00:19:40.141
  • Voter turnout of maybe 18 to 20%.
  • 00:19:40.274 --> 00:19:40.408
  • 20%. so every vote counts if you're
  • 00:19:40.541 --> 00:19:41.175
  • So every vote counts if you're a rule virginian or just

  • Push back on such an egregious the virginia public access
  • 00:20:02.630 --> 00:20:03.197

  • Will be the single most gerrymandered in the entire
  • 00:20:08.035 --> 00:20:10.972
  • Gerrymandered in the entire country worse than even
  • 00:20:11.105 --> 00:20:11.606
  • Country worse than even illinois so you have districts
  • 00:20:11.739 --> 00:20:14.442
  • Illinois so you have districts lobster districts the literally
  • 00:20:14.575 --> 00:20:15.176
  • Lobster districts the literally look like a lobster going from
  • 00:20:15.309 --> 00:20:15.943

  • 00:20:16.077 --> 00:20:19.414
  • Northern northern virginia all the way down the shenandoah
  • 00:20:19.547 --> 00:20:20.114

  • Doing this and this is your moment.
  • 00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:26.587
  • Moment. >> it used to be you could
  • 00:20:26.721 --> 00:20:27.455
  • >> it used to be you could challenge under the voting
  • 00:20:27.588 --> 00:20:28.122
  • Challenge under the voting rights act the jeremy that you
  • 00:20:28.256 --> 00:20:30.858
  • Rights act the jeremy that you were disenfranchizing voters
  • 00:20:30.992 --> 00:20:31.559
  • Were disenfranchizing voters and that was usually based on

  • And that was usually based on race.
  • 00:20:34.796 --> 00:20:34.962
  • Race. >> so it is that same challenge
  • 00:20:35.096 --> 00:20:38.366
  • >> so it is that same challenge available today or is that all
  • 00:20:38.499 --> 00:20:39.133
  • Available today or is that all the federal court system said
  • 00:20:39.267 --> 00:20:43.004
  • The federal court system said now we've misinterpreted that
  • 00:20:43.137 --> 00:20:43.738
  • Now we've misinterpreted that act and we're going to let it a

  • >> there is a potentially down the road i mean what we have
  • 00:20:47.775 --> 00:20:50.645
  • The road i mean what we have seen with the supreme court,
  • 00:20:50.778 --> 00:20:51.345
  • Seen with the supreme court, the united states supreme court
  • 00:20:51.479 --> 00:20:52.113
  • The united states supreme court as as they've been somewhat
  • 00:20:52.246 --> 00:20:53.948
  • As as they've been somewhat reluctant to get involved in
  • 00:20:54.081 --> 00:20:54.682
  • Reluctant to get involved in these kind of individual state
  • 00:20:54.816 --> 00:20:57.285
  • These kind of individual state by state basis.
  • 00:20:57.418 --> 00:20:57.852
  • By state basis. but the curiosity the curious
  • 00:20:57.985 --> 00:20:58.553
  • But the curiosity the curious thing is what happened in is
  • 00:20:58.686 --> 00:21:01.122
  • Thing is what happened in is the democratic legislature
  • 00:21:01.255 --> 00:21:01.789
  • The democratic legislature literally again temporarily
  • 00:21:01.923 --> 00:21:04.992
  • Literally again temporarily ignored and repealed the

  • Ignored and repealed the sections of the law.
  • 00:21:05.760 --> 00:21:09.096
  • Sections of the law. you have to have minority
  • 00:21:09.230 --> 00:21:09.797
  • You have to have minority protections as you draw
  • 00:21:09.931 --> 00:21:12.900
  • Protections as you draw districts.
  • 00:21:13.034 --> 00:21:13.301
  • Districts. >> you can't dilute minority
  • 00:21:13.434 --> 00:21:14.035
  • >> you can't dilute minority voter representation.
  • 00:21:14.168 --> 00:21:14.602
  • Voter representation. well, what they have done in
  • 00:21:14.735 --> 00:21:17.171
  • Well, what they have done in hampton roads, for example.
  • 00:21:17.305 --> 00:21:17.872
  • Hampton roads, for example. it's going to take us from
  • 00:21:18.005 --> 00:21:20.475
  • It's going to take us from three congressmen down to two
  • 00:21:20.608 --> 00:21:23.010
  • Three congressmen down to two congressmen because they've
  • 00:21:23.144 --> 00:21:23.678
  • Congressmen because they've drawn all these maps to be
  • 00:21:23.811 --> 00:21:24.378
  • Drawn all these maps to be centered in in northern
  • 00:21:24.512 --> 00:21:26.714
  • Centered in in northern virginia.
  • 00:21:26.848 --> 00:21:27.081
  • Virginia. so there's been multiple steps
  • 00:21:27.215 --> 00:21:27.815
  • So there's been multiple steps that are mapping and are ripe
  • 00:21:27.949 --> 00:21:31.085
  • That are mapping and are ripe for legal challenges.
  • 00:21:31.219 --> 00:21:31.652
  • For legal challenges. but we can't take that chance
  • 00:21:31.786 --> 00:21:32.420
  • But we can't take that chance because of the supreme court
  • 00:21:32.553 --> 00:21:35.756
  • Because of the supreme court decides this is a state issue.
  • 00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:36.524
  • Decides this is a state issue. we're going to let the states
  • 00:21:36.657 --> 00:21:37.258
  • We're going to let the states figure this out.
  • 00:21:37.391 --> 00:21:38.793
  • Figure this out. you have this moment now where
  • 00:21:38.926 --> 00:21:39.560
  • You have this moment now where the supreme court has been
  • 00:21:39.694 --> 00:21:40.228
  • The supreme court has been reluctant to get in this and
  • 00:21:40.361 --> 00:21:42.230
  • Reluctant to get in this and people can look at the supreme
  • 00:21:42.363 --> 00:21:45.833
  • People can look at the supreme and the fact that they are
  • 00:21:45.967 --> 00:21:46.567
  • And the fact that they are actually appointed and
  • 00:21:46.701 --> 00:21:47.134
  • Actually appointed and reappointed by the legislature
  • 00:21:47.268 --> 00:21:50.071
  • Reappointed by the legislature lifetime appointments they
  • 00:21:50.204 --> 00:21:50.738
  • Lifetime appointments they could reach their own
  • 00:21:50.872 --> 00:21:51.305
  • Could reach their own conclusion there.
  • 00:21:51.439 --> 00:21:51.806
  • Conclusion there. but i page what it is is now at
  • 00:21:51.939 --> 00:21:54.442
  • But i page what it is is now at the ballot box.
  • 00:21:54.575 --> 00:21:54.942
  • The ballot box. this is now can't be decided by
  • 00:21:55.076 --> 00:21:58.045
  • This is now can't be decided by the lawyers has to be decided
  • 00:21:58.179 --> 00:21:58.779
  • The lawyers has to be decided by the citizens so if if you
  • 00:21:58.913 --> 00:22:01.582
  • By the citizens so if if you care about your voice, if you
  • 00:22:01.716 --> 00:22:02.316
  • Care about your voice, if you care about this unconscionable
  • 00:22:02.450 --> 00:22:03.050
  • Care about this unconscionable power grab go out and vote
  • 00:22:03.184 --> 00:22:05.520
  • Power grab go out and vote because nothing moves in
  • 00:22:05.653 --> 00:22:06.153
  • Because nothing moves in democracy unless it's.
  • 00:22:06.287 --> 00:22:09.190
  • Democracy unless it's. >> voters need to go out and
  • 00:22:09.323 --> 00:22:09.991
  • >> voters need to go out and push and say no more to this.
  • 00:22:10.124 --> 00:22:10.858
  • Push and say no more to this. just went through an election
  • 00:22:12.393 --> 00:22:13.160
  • Just went through an election and didn't didn't survive it.
  • 00:22:13.294 --> 00:22:16.264
  • And didn't didn't survive it. >> if if side you have let's
  • 00:22:16.397 --> 00:22:20.434
  • >> if if side you have let's get trump vote and on the other
  • 00:22:20.568 --> 00:22:23.905
  • Get trump vote and on the other side trump not on the ballot so
  • 00:22:24.038 --> 00:22:24.872
  • Side trump not on the ballot so there's you know there's going
  • 00:22:25.006 --> 00:22:27.341
  • There's you know there's going to be a turnout issue plus in
  • 00:22:27.475 --> 00:22:32.046
  • To be a turnout issue plus in all the political votes in my
  • 00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:32.780
  • All the political votes in my lifetime.
  • 00:22:32.914 --> 00:22:33.147
  • Lifetime. >> this is is about as geeky as
  • 00:22:33.281 --> 00:22:36.484
  • >> this is is about as geeky as you get and most probably don't
  • 00:22:36.617 --> 00:22:39.554
  • You get and most probably don't understand i am about to be
  • 00:22:39.687 --> 00:22:40.388
  • Understand i am about to be disenfranchized half the
  • 00:22:40.521 --> 00:22:43.758
  • Disenfranchized half the population of virginia that
  • 00:22:43.891 --> 00:22:44.458
  • Population of virginia that votes republican and is about
  • 00:22:44.592 --> 00:22:47.728
  • Votes republican and is about to lose their vote in congress

  • Yeah is that too granular turnout?
  • 00:22:59.473 --> 00:22:59.674
  • Turnout? no, because i think what we
  • 00:22:59.807 --> 00:23:00.374
  • No, because i think what we have seen in the early voting
  • 00:23:00.508 --> 00:23:01.142
  • Have seen in the early voting is a higher turnout in rural
  • 00:23:01.275 --> 00:23:03.411

  • 00:23:41.148 --> 00:23:41.716
  • She actually said that she thought gerrymandering in her
  • 00:23:41.849 --> 00:23:42.450
  • Thought gerrymandering in her own words was quote a to
  • 00:23:42.583 --> 00:23:44.986
  • Own words was quote a to democracy.
  • 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:45.353
  • Democracy. well, i happen to agree with
  • 00:23:45.486 --> 00:23:46.087
  • Well, i happen to agree with abigail spanberger and believe

  • Abigail spanberger and believe it or not, we're are talking to
  • 00:23:49.023 --> 00:23:49.657
  • It or not, we're are talking to democrats that just believe in
  • 00:23:49.790 --> 00:23:50.424
  • Democrats that just believe in good government that this is a
  • 00:23:50.558 --> 00:23:52.860
  • Good government that this is a matter of fairness and they are
  • 00:23:52.994 --> 00:23:53.628
  • Matter of fairness and they are actually also even though they
  • 00:23:53.761 --> 00:23:56.397
  • Actually also even though they are perhaps partizan on the
  • 00:23:56.530 --> 00:23:57.098
  • Are perhaps partizan on the other side they think this is
  • 00:23:57.231 --> 00:23:57.865
  • Other side they think this is bad as well.
  • 00:23:57.999 --> 00:23:58.299
  • Bad as well. a lot in the business community
  • 00:23:58.432 --> 00:24:00.534
  • A lot in the business community are very upset.
  • 00:24:00.668 --> 00:24:01.035
  • Are very upset. what they're saying is a where
  • 00:24:01.168 --> 00:24:03.504
  • What they're saying is a where you know, spanberger and others
  • 00:24:03.638 --> 00:24:04.271
  • You know, spanberger and others ran on affordability thing
  • 00:24:04.405 --> 00:24:07.608
  • Ran on affordability thing they've done in richmond was
  • 00:24:07.742 --> 00:24:08.342
  • They've done in richmond was pass the legislation to enable
  • 00:24:08.476 --> 00:24:11.746
  • Pass the legislation to enable this to go move forward and so
  • 00:24:11.879 --> 00:24:12.513
  • This to go move forward and so i think this is a reflection
  • 00:24:12.647 --> 00:24:13.247
  • I think this is a reflection point of virginia and i think
  • 00:24:13.381 --> 00:24:15.449
  • Point of virginia and i think for republicans you can almost
  • 00:24:15.583 --> 00:24:16.183
  • For republicans you can almost look at this that this is the
  • 00:24:16.317 --> 00:24:16.951
  • Look at this that this is the last election if we don't go
  • 00:24:17.084 --> 00:24:19.453
  • Last election if we don't go out and stop this your voice is
  • 00:24:19.587 --> 00:24:20.254
  • Out and stop this your voice is going to be wiped.
  • 00:24:20.388 --> 00:24:22.556
  • Going to be wiped. anybody thinks this is
  • 00:24:22.690 --> 00:24:23.190
  • Anybody thinks this is temporary.
  • 00:24:23.324 --> 00:24:23.557
  • Temporary. years, by the way, is
  • 00:24:25.292 --> 00:24:25.993
  • Years, by the way, is temporary.
  • 00:24:26.127 --> 00:24:26.360
  • Temporary. but the idea that you're going
  • 00:24:26.494 --> 00:24:27.128
  • But the idea that you're going to have suddenly new democratic
  • 00:24:27.261 --> 00:24:29.697
  • To have suddenly new democratic members of congress and they're
  • 00:24:29.830 --> 00:24:32.867
  • Members of congress and they're and they're not going to try to
  • 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.734
  • And they're not going to try to keep the maps essentially where
  • 00:24:33.868 --> 00:24:34.468
  • Keep the maps essentially where they are after the next round
  • 00:24:34.602 --> 00:24:35.169
  • They are after the next round of officially disrupting is
  • 00:24:35.302 --> 00:24:38.339
  • Of officially disrupting is very naive.
  • 00:24:38.472 --> 00:24:38.739
  • Very naive. of course this is going to be
  • 00:24:38.873 --> 00:24:39.507
  • Of course this is going to be permanent.
  • 00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:39.874
  • Permanent. they're trying to silence the
  • 00:24:40.007 --> 00:24:41.876
  • They're trying to silence the 48% of virginians have voted
  • 00:24:42.009 --> 00:24:42.610
  • 48% of virginians have voted for republicans for congress.
  • 00:24:42.743 --> 00:24:45.780
  • For republicans for congress. they're trying to silence the
  • 00:24:45.913 --> 00:24:46.514
  • They're trying to silence the will of virginians that voted
  • 00:24:46.647 --> 00:24:47.248
  • Will of virginians that voted by this two thirds.

  • Election laws anything related to redistrict.
  • 00:24:57.491 --> 00:25:01.195
  • To redistrict. >> it's all an incumbent

  • 00:25:34.662 --> 00:25:35.396
  • And all of that work seems to be a.
  • 00:25:35.529 --> 00:25:38.032
  • Be a. >> are you frustrated with that
  • 00:25:38.165 --> 00:25:41.902

  • >> where where do people go at this point in time?
  • 00:25:43.137 --> 00:25:45.973
  • This point in time? we really do need to follow
  • 00:25:46.107 --> 00:25:46.741
  • We really do need to follow this money.
  • 00:25:46.874 --> 00:25:47.141
  • This money. there's been an effort to buy
  • 00:25:47.274 --> 00:25:50.411
  • There's been an effort to buy influence to to buy position in
  • 00:25:50.544 --> 00:25:54.281
  • Influence to to buy position in universities to fund the civil
  • 00:25:54.415 --> 00:25:57.952
  • Universities to fund the civil unrest.
  • 00:25:58.085 --> 00:25:58.285
  • Unrest. i mean to my absolute amazing
  • 00:25:58.419 --> 00:26:01.722
  • I mean to my absolute amazing new york city elected a muslim
  • 00:26:01.856 --> 00:26:05.292
  • New york city elected a muslim and this is a city that went
  • 00:26:05.426 --> 00:26:06.427
  • And this is a city that went through 11 and then he hosts
  • 00:26:06.560 --> 00:26:08.896
  • Through 11 and then he hosts the leader of the columbia
  • 00:26:09.029 --> 00:26:12.166
  • The leader of the columbia riots at gracie mansion.
  • 00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:12.867
  • Riots at gracie mansion. so where can we go to really
  • 00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.604
  • So where can we go to really find what's the source, what's
  • 00:26:16.737 --> 00:26:19.774
  • Find what's the source, what's our own culture?
  • 00:26:19.907 --> 00:26:20.341
  • Our own culture? >> well, i got good news bad
  • 00:26:20.474 --> 00:26:21.108
  • >> well, i got good news bad news, the bad news news first
  • 00:26:21.242 --> 00:26:23.778
  • News, the bad news news first is we were actively
  • 00:26:23.911 --> 00:26:24.345
  • Is we were actively investigating entities that
  • 00:26:24.478 --> 00:26:25.045
  • Investigating entities that have been alleged to funnel
  • 00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:27.615
  • Have been alleged to funnel money from america to foreign
  • 00:26:27.748 --> 00:26:28.349
  • Money from america to foreign entities and also receiving
  • 00:26:28.482 --> 00:26:31.786
  • Entities and also receiving foreign money to help fuel
  • 00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:32.486
  • Foreign money to help fuel these campus protests.
  • 00:26:32.620 --> 00:26:35.523
  • These campus protests. we essentially threw the
  • 00:26:35.656 --> 00:26:36.190
  • We essentially threw the election.
  • 00:26:36.323 --> 00:26:36.557
  • Election. i anticipate that that
  • 00:26:36.690 --> 00:26:39.627
  • I anticipate that that investigation is essentially
  • 00:26:39.760 --> 00:26:40.327
  • Investigation is essentially dead.
  • 00:26:40.461 --> 00:26:40.628
  • Dead. what i do know is our federal
  • 00:26:40.761 --> 00:26:41.362
  • What i do know is our federal partners are continuing to look
  • 00:26:41.495 --> 00:26:44.031
  • Partners are continuing to look at this as well.
  • 00:26:44.165 --> 00:26:44.532
  • At this as well. this is a little bit of a
  • 00:26:44.665 --> 00:26:45.399
  • This is a little bit of a measure twice cut once any time
  • 00:26:45.533 --> 00:26:48.269
  • Measure twice cut once any time you're investigating financial
  • 00:26:48.402 --> 00:26:48.969
  • You're investigating financial ties and financial crimes it is
  • 00:26:49.103 --> 00:26:52.072
  • Ties and financial crimes it is multilayered and is
  • 00:26:52.206 --> 00:26:52.606
  • Multilayered and is complicated.
  • 00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.007
  • Complicated. but i will say this that there
  • 00:26:54.942 --> 00:26:55.776
  • But i will say this that there is no doubt in my mind there's
  • 00:26:55.910 --> 00:26:56.644
  • Is no doubt in my mind there's an enormous of foreign money
  • 00:26:56.777 --> 00:26:59.313
  • An enormous of foreign money that is coming into this
  • 00:26:59.446 --> 00:26:59.980
  • That is coming into this country that is helping fund
  • 00:27:00.114 --> 00:27:03.017
  • Country that is helping fund these campus protests that are
  • 00:27:03.150 --> 00:27:03.784
  • These campus protests that are helping to fund groups and
  • 00:27:03.918 --> 00:27:06.520
  • Helping to fund groups and others that are organizing
  • 00:27:06.654 --> 00:27:07.188
  • Others that are organizing students and oftentimes.
  • 00:27:07.321 --> 00:27:10.624
  • Students and oftentimes. oftentimes these students have
  • 00:27:10.758 --> 00:27:11.358
  • Oftentimes these students have no idea that it's actually
  • 00:27:11.492 --> 00:27:12.059
  • No idea that it's actually money coming from overseas.
  • 00:27:12.193 --> 00:27:12.760
  • Money coming from overseas. finally we saw this in virginia
  • 00:27:12.893 --> 00:27:15.229
  • Finally we saw this in virginia vcu where it was a very, very
  • 00:27:15.362 --> 00:27:16.030
  • Vcu where it was a very, very well-organized protest.
  • 00:27:16.163 --> 00:27:18.866
  • Well-organized protest. you had you had a ryder truck
  • 00:27:18.999 --> 00:27:19.834
  • You had you had a ryder truck showing up with with wood
  • 00:27:19.967 --> 00:27:22.803
  • Showing up with with wood prefab barriers and other items
  • 00:27:22.937 --> 00:27:23.537
  • Prefab barriers and other items as well.
  • 00:27:23.671 --> 00:27:23.871
  • As well. they are organized they have a
  • 00:27:24.004 --> 00:27:27.341
  • They are organized they have a game plan.
  • 00:27:27.474 --> 00:27:27.708
  • Game plan. they actually have provide
  • 00:27:27.842 --> 00:27:28.375
  • They actually have provide instructions to the students of
  • 00:27:28.509 --> 00:27:30.644
  • Instructions to the students of how to flank the police and in
  • 00:27:30.778 --> 00:27:31.412
  • How to flank the police and in many ways surround the police.
  • 00:27:31.545 --> 00:27:34.682
  • Many ways surround the police. well.
  • 00:27:34.815 --> 00:27:34.982
  • Well. it is a very, very dangerous
  • 00:27:35.115 --> 00:27:35.716
  • It is a very, very dangerous thing that happened on our
  • 00:27:35.850 --> 00:27:36.417
  • Thing that happened on our college campuses right now with
  • 00:27:36.550 --> 00:27:39.186
  • College campuses right now with the amount of foreign influence
  • 00:27:39.320 --> 00:27:39.954
  • The amount of foreign influence this happening and of these
  • 00:27:40.087 --> 00:27:42.356
  • This happening and of these college campuses the
  • 00:27:42.489 --> 00:27:42.923
  • College campuses the administrations and stand down

  • They the campus police that i've talked to campus police
  • 00:27:46.260 --> 00:27:46.861
  • I've talked to campus police chiefs not just in virginia but
  • 00:27:46.994 --> 00:27:49.797
  • Chiefs not just in virginia but around the country when all
  • 00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:50.464
  • Around the country when all those protests are happening
  • 00:27:50.598 --> 00:27:51.165
  • Those protests are happening they didn't feel that the
  • 00:27:51.298 --> 00:27:53.300
  • They didn't feel that the administration was backing
  • 00:27:53.434 --> 00:27:53.934
  • Administration was backing them.
  • 00:27:54.068 --> 00:27:54.235
  • Them. and so you have so you have to
  • 00:27:54.368 --> 00:27:57.738
  • And so you have so you have to have college president the
  • 00:27:57.872 --> 00:27:58.372
  • Have college president the college presidents and the
  • 00:27:58.505 --> 00:27:59.039

  • Campus police police say no more.

  • More. and i've had the attitude as
  • 00:28:01.809 --> 00:28:02.409
  • And i've had the attitude as well that no student student
  • 00:28:02.543 --> 00:28:04.578
  • Well that no student student should be walking on campus
  • 00:28:04.712 --> 00:28:05.279
  • Should be walking on campus looking over their shoulder and
  • 00:28:05.412 --> 00:28:06.046
  • Looking over their shoulder and fear tragically.
  • 00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.513
  • Fear tragically. so many of the jewish-american
  • 00:28:08.582 --> 00:28:09.450
  • So many of the jewish-american students i've talked to that's
  • 00:28:09.583 --> 00:28:10.217
  • Students i've talked to that's exactly what they felt.
  • 00:28:10.351 --> 00:28:12.887
  • Exactly what they felt. there's a lot of fear on these
  • 00:28:13.020 --> 00:28:13.754
  • There's a lot of fear on these campuses right now and i worry
  • 00:28:13.888 --> 00:28:15.890
  • Campuses right now and i worry with what's happening right now
  • 00:28:16.023 --> 00:28:16.624
  • With what's happening right now in the middle east.
  • 00:28:16.757 --> 00:28:17.157
  • In the middle east. you could see a replay saw
  • 00:28:17.291 --> 00:28:20.361
  • You could see a replay saw after the october 7th attacks.
  • 00:28:20.494 --> 00:28:21.095
  • After the october 7th attacks. that's i sense that that they
  • 00:28:21.228 --> 00:28:23.964
