MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
NEW INFORMATION THIS MORNING
COMING TO LIGHT ABOUT THE JUDGE
WHO REPORTEDLY GREEN LIT THE
RAID ON FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
MAR-A-LAGO HOME ON MONDAY NIGHT.
FLORIDA FEDERAL MAGISTRATE JUDGE
BRUCE RYANHEART MADE DONATIONS
TO FORMER OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN AND
JED BUSH’S FAILED PRESIDENTIAL
BIT.
JOINING ME YOU NOW IS FLORIDA
CONGRESSMAN GREG STEUBE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
YOU AS A MEMBER OF THE JUDICIARY
WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS AND WHAT ABOUT NOW WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAGISTRATE
JUDGE HAS TIES TO THE LEFT,
DONATING TO OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN.
>> WELL, NOT SURPRISING AT ALL.
WELCOME TO JOE BIDEN’S
TOTALITARIAN POLICE STATE WHERE
IT’S WAR ON CONSERVATIVES AND
THEY’RE USING DEMOCRATS IN THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM, DEEP STATE
DEMOCRATS IN THE ADMINISTRATION,
THE FBI AND THE DOJ AND THERE’S
NO CHECK ON THEIR ACTIVITIES IN
THE HOUSE OR THE SENATE BECAUSE
THAT’S ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS TOO.
WE HAVE REQUESTED THROUGH THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FOR
HEARINGS.
WE’RE GOING TO BE IN WASHINGTON
ON FRIDAY, FOR HEARINGS TO HAVE
CHRISTOPHER WRAY AND HAVE
MERRICK GARLAND COME IN AND
EXPLAIN TO THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE WHY THIS WAS NECESSARY
TO RAID A FORMER PRESIDENT’S
HOME AND HE’S NOT JUST A FORMER
PRESIDENT.
BUT THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO
TAKE ON JOE BIDEN IN TWO YEARS
IN 2024 THEY’RE ATTACKING THEIR
POLITICAL ENEMY AND I JUST READ
AN ARTICLE THAT THEY HAVE TO USE
LESS INTRUSIVE MEANS SO IF THEY
DIDN’T SUBPOENA THESE DOCUMENTS
AND JUST RAIDED HIS HOME WITHOUT
SUBPOENAING THESE DOCUMENTS THIS
RAID MAY HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL.
MARIA: SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT
IT?
>> WELL, THE TRUMP LAWYER TEAMS
AND LEGAL TEAMS WILL GO AFTER
THE FBI AND THE DOJ BUT THAT’S
NOT GOING TO BE -- YOU KNOW HOW
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS.
IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THAT TO
FERRET ITSELF OUT AND IF THE
DEMOCRATS WHICH THEY WON’T ALLOW
US TO HEAR ANSWERS FROM MERRICK
GARLAND AND FROM THE FBI IT WILL
BE UNTIL WE TAKE THE MAJORITY
BACK AND GET THE GAVEL IN
JANUARY.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD REST
ASSURED THAT WHEN REPUBLICANS
TAKE THE GAVEL THERE WILL BE
ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AND THE FBI.
WE’LL BRING THE INDIVIDUALS IN
AND DEPOSE THEM AND ASK THEM
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS UNDER OATH.
MARIA: YOU ARE GOING TO
INVESTIGATE THIS THEN, SHOULD
YOU GET THE MAJORITY IN THE
HOUSE, YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS
NEXT YEAR?
>> THIS AND A WHOLE SLEW OF
OTHER THINGS, THE CRISIS AT THE
BORDER, THE COMPLETE INTENTIONAL
DERELICTION OF DUTY ON THE LAWS
OF OUR BORDER, ON IMMIGRATION,
YOU NAME IT, THE HOUSE MAJORITY
ESPECIALLY THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE VERY
BUSY IN DOING OVERSIGHT ON THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
MARIA: JAMES FREEMAN IS WITH US
THIS MORNING FROM THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL.
I KEEP MENTIONING THE FACT THAT
THE WHITE HOUSE IS INSISTING
THAT THE IRS WILL NOT BE USED TO
TARGET THE MIDDLE CLASS UNDER
DEMOCRATS’ MASSIVE SPENDING
BILL.
HOWEVER, WE ARE LOOKING AT
86,000 NEW AGENTS AND NOT ONE
NEW BORDER AGENT.
HERE’S THE WHITE HOUSE.
WATCH THIS.
>> DO YOU THINK IT’S GOING TO BE
POPULAR WHEN THE 87,000 NEW
EMPLOYEES HIRED BY THE IRS GO
AROUND AND START AUDITING PEOPLE
TO PAY FOR THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT.
>> IT’S VERY CLEAR THE IRS
COMMISSIONER WAS VERY CLEAR ON
THIS, HE SAID THAT ON THE RECORD
THAT THIS ONLY -- IT WILL ONLY
APPLY TO THOSE EARNING OVER
$400,000.
MARIA: SO WHAT IS THIS,
CONGRESSMAN?
THEY’RE GOING OF TO SAY WE WON’T
YOU AUDIT ANYBODY WHO MAKES LESS
THAN $400,000.
THAT’S NOT EVEN FAIR, BY THE
WAY.
IF YOU’RE CHEATING AND YOU’RE
NOT PAYING YOUR TAXES AND YOU
MAKE $100,000, YOU SHOULD BE
INVESTIGATED SO HOW COULD THEY
JUST SAY THAT THEY’RE NOT GOING
TO INVESTIGATE ANYBODY OVER
$400,000 WHEN THEY DON’T EVEN
KNOW WHO IS CHEATING AND WHO
ISN’T.
WE ALSO HAVE RECENT ANALYSIS
FROM THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS
SHOWING THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS
ACTUALLY WILL BE BEARING THE
BRUNT OF THE IRS EXPANSION,
FINDING AMERICANS EARNING LESS
THAN $75,000 A YEAR ARE
ESTIMATED TO RECEIVE 60% OF THE
ADDITIONAL TAX AUDITS.
>> YES, SHE’S BEING DISHONEST TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LIKE THE
WHITE HOUSE DOES CONSISTENTLY.
THAT’S ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCURATE.
IT WILL GO AFTER MIDDLE INCOME
EARNERS, IT WILL GO AFTER THE
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS NOT JUST
THOSE THAT ARE MAKING OVER
400,000.
THAT’S AN OUTRIGHT LIE.
WE HAVE MORE IRS AGENTS THAN
BORDER PATROL AGENTS ON THE
BORDER WHEN WE HAVE A CRISIS AT
THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
IT’S A COMPLETE MISMANAGEMENT OF
THE FUNDS OF THE UNITED STATES
AND IT SHOWS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
WANT TO DO, THEY WANT TO TAKE
ALL OF YOUR MONEY, TAX US AND GO
AFTER YOUR SPENDING AND YOUR
EARNING TO PAY FOR ALL OF THESE
WOKE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA ITEMS.
MARIA: THEY SURE ARE AFRAID OF
DONALD TRUMP.
HADTHEY WON’T STOP GOING AFTER H
JAMES: I WANT TO GO AFTER
THE ISSUE, YOU SAY YOU THINK THE
RAID OR CALL IT AN INVESTIGATION
ON MONDAY MIGHT ACTUALLY BE
ILLEGAL BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE
USED MEANS SHORT OF SENDING 30
AGENTS IN.
I THINK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE THIS
IS PUZZLING TO SAY THE LEAST.
TRUMP SENDS THEM 15 BOXES OF
DOCUMENTS IN JANUARY, IN MAY I
BELIEVE OR WITHIN THE LAST FEW
MONTHS HE ALLOWS THEM TO COME
INTO MAR-A-LAGO, JUSTICE
OFFICIALS TO GO TO THE STORAGE
AREA, GO THROUGH THE BOXES.
IF THE TARGET OR PERSON INVOLVED
IS ALLOWING THIS KIND OF ACCESS,
HOW DO YOU GO TO A JUDGE AND SAY
NO, WE NEED A WARNING ’ WARRANT
DESCEND WITH ALL THE AGENTS.
WALK US THROUGH THAT.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THE POSSIBLE
ILLEGALITY.
>> THAT’S THE EXACT POINT.
THERE WAS A FEDERAL PROSECUTOR
THAT WAS INTERVIEWED THAT SAID
YOU HAVE TO USE LEAST OBJECT;
TRUE.
HILLARY: OBJECTTRUE SIEVE MEANS.
IF -- OBTRUSIVE MEANS.
YOU HIGHLIGHTED TRUMP WAS
COOPERATING WITH THEM.
ALL HAVE YOU TO DO IS ASK FOR IF
DOCUMENTS.
IF THEY DON’T GIVE YOU THE
DOCUMENTS, SUBPOENA THE
DOCUMENTS.
YOU DON’T RAID SOMEBODY’S HOME
WITH 30 FBI AGENTS, THAT’S A
NORMAL CASE WITH A NORMAL PERSON
AND LAYER ON ON TOP OF THAT, THI
IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, THE MOST LIKELY NUMB BEN
ONE CONTENDER TAKING ON JOE
BIDEN, YOU HAVE A WE UPONIZED --
WEAPONIZED AND POLITICIZED FBI
RAIDING THE HOME.
I THINK YOU’LL SEE LEGAL ACTION
AGAINST THE DOJ BECAUSE OF IT.
MARIA: LARA, DID THE PRESIDENT,
YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW TELL YOU THAT
HE’S EVEN MORE INTERESTED NOW IN
RUNNING TO FIX WRONGS.
WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT HIMSELF
RUNNING.
LARA: I THINK HE’S SEEN THE
DECLINE IN THE COUNTRY OVER THE
PAST 19 MONTHS.
HE’S BEEN VERY FRUSTRATED BY
THAT.
I THINK REGARDLESS OF WHERE HE
STANDS, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE -- I
HEARD FROM SO MANY PEOPLE, BY
THE WAY, PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
INDEPENDENTS THEIR WHOLE LIFE
AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS THE
TIME WE NEED DONALD TRUMP BACK
BECAUSE HE QUITE FRANKLY IS THE
ONLY PERSON I THINK AS THE
CONGRESSMAN LIKELY KNOWS WHO
COULD DRAIN THE SWAMP, WHO COULD
HOLD THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE,
WHO CAN RIGHT THE SHIP HERE IN
AMERICA BECAUSE, MAN, DO WE NEED
HELP.
MARIA: WOULD HE MOVE BACK TO
NEW YORK AND THEN DO A TICKET
WITH DE SANTIS.
LARA:I DON’T.LARA: I DON’T KNOW
YOU’LL HAVE TO ASK HIM.
MARIA: DO YOU FEEL THE GOP
WANTS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SAY
HE’S RUNNING.
>> THIS IS RALLYING SUPPORT.
PEOPLE THAT WERE MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD AND NOT BIG FANS PREVIOUSLY
I THINK ARE RALLYING BEHIND THE
AMERICA FIRST AGENDA AND AMERICA
FIRST HE PRIORITIES THAT TRUMP P
IN PLACE.
MARIA: DEMOCRATS CAN’T RUN FAST
ENOUGH AWAY FROM BIDEN’S TICKET.
THIS IS BERNIE SANDERS.
LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID.
>> DO YOU WANT TO SEE PRESIDENT
BIDEN, SENATOR, RUN FOR A SECOND
TERM?
>> WELL, WHAT I WANT TO SEE
RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE CONGRESS
DEVELOP AN AGENDA --
>> LET ME REPHRASE THE QUESTION.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM RUN FOR
RE-ELECTION?
>> LOOK, RIGHT NOW MY CONCERN IS
ELECTING MORE DEMOCRATS IN THIS
MIDTERM ELECTION.
MARIA: DOESN’T SOUND LIKE THE
DEMOCRATS WANT JOE BIDEN IN THE
SEAT IN 2024, CONGRESSMAN, WHAT
DO YOU THINK?
>> YEAH, EVEN BERNIE SANDERS IS
SHYING AWAY FROM JOE BIDEN
BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE’S
COMPLETELY TOXIC, HE’S GOING TO
BE TOXIC IN THE MIDTERMS AND
HE’LL BE TOXIC IN 2024.
MARIA: WE’LL LEAVE IT THERE.
GREAT TO SEE YOU THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
