>>BACK IN FEBRUARY THERE WERE A NUMBER OF HIGH-PROFILE ICE RAIDS
DONE IN THE BAY AREA, IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, FOR
INSTANCE, AND AT ONE POINT THE OAKLAND MAYOR HAD WARNED THE
COMMUNITY THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER RAID COMING, AND THIS BECAME A
HUGE STORY BECAUSE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, AND JEFF
SESSIONS IN PARTICULAR, HAD CLAIMS THAT THE ACTIONS OF THE
MAYOR HAD ALLOWED CRIMINALS TO GET AWAY.
BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT
THE SPOKESPERSON FOR ICE AT THE TIME HAD DECIDED TO RESIGN
BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT THAT NARRATIVE WAS A FLAT OUT LIE.
NOW, THERE WAS ALSO THE ISSUE OF WHO LEAKED THAT UPCOMING RAID TO
THE MAYOR OF OAKLAND?
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY IS TRYING TO PLACE THAT BLAME ON THE VERY
SPOKESPERSON WHO DECIDED TO QUIT HIS JOB BACK IN MARCH.
NOW, THAT
FORMER ICE SPOKESPERSON IS JAMES SCHWAB, AND CBS WAS INTERVIEWING
HIM ABOUT THIS WHOLE STORY, WHY DID HE QUIT, WHY DID HE LEAVE,
WHAT WENT ON?
HE
SAID --
>>
>>HE SAID --
>>
>>SO TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE --
>>
>>JAMES SCHWAB SAID --
>>
>>SO HE DECIDED TO QUIT AS A RESULT OF THOSE LIES.
SO HE'S
EXPLAINING ALL OF THIS TO THE CBS REPORTER IN HIS OWN HOME
ABOUT WHAT HAD REALLY OCCURRED, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT
HAPPENING HE GETS A SURPRISE VISIT, TAKE A LOOK.
>>WE WERE INTERRUPTED BY A SURPRISE.
>>HE HAD UNEXPECTED VISITORS AT THE FRONT DOOR OF HIS HOME.
>>I CAN'T SPEAK WITH YOU.
>>WHY ARE YOU HERE?
>>I CAN'T SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT THAT.
>>THE MEN IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS AGENTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY INSPECTOR GENERALS OFFICE.
>>ARE YOU GOING TO CALL ME?
>>WE ARE IN HIS HOME.
>>I'M TALKING TO HIM, THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL.
>>WHAT WAS THAT?
>>THEY JUST SAID THEY WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THE LEAK WITH
THE OAKLAND MAYOR.
>>WERE YOU SURPRISED TO SEE THEM?
>>COMPLETELY SHOCKED.
UNEXPECTED.
>>DID YOU EVER CONTACT THE OAKLAND MAYOR'S OFFICE?
>>NO, I'VE NEVER MET HER BEFORE.
>>YOU DIDN'T EMAIL, NO INFORMATION?
>>I WOULD NEVER TELL HER, I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE.
>>THAT IS STRANGE, THEY WERE AGENTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY, THEY SHOW UP TO HIS HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF
THIS INTERVIEW WITH CBS WHERE HE'S EXPLAINING THE REASON
BEHIND WHY HE QUIT HIS JOB.
>>LOOK, I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE, BUT SCHWAB
THINKS THAT MIGHT BE THE CASE, HE SAID WHY THREE MONTHS LATER
ARE WE DOING THIS?
THIS IS INTIMIDATION AND IT'S WHY PEOPLE
WON'T COME OUT AND SPEAK AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
AND, LOOK, THIS
IS WHAT GOVERNMENTS WHO WANT TO DO INTIMIDATION DO.
OH, YOU'RE
GOING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST US?
BE A WHISTLEBLOWER OR A
CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR?
HE DIDN'T DO WHISTLEBLOWING, HE
DIDN'T REVEAL ANY SECRETS.
>>HE JUST QUIT HIS JOB.
>>HE SHOULD BE THE ROLE MODEL FOR PEOPLE LIKE SARAH HUCKABEE
SANDERS, SHE VOLUNTARILY GOES OUT AND LIES FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION EVERY DAY, AND THE GUY WAS A SPOKESPERSON FOR
ICE, WHEN THEY ASKED HIM TO LIE HE SAID THAT'S NOT TRUE, I'M NOT
GOING TO LIE.
I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING WHERE I REVEAL
GOVERNMENT SECRETS OR ANYTHING, I'M JUST NOT GOING TO DO THAT
JOB.
I'M GOING TO GET ANOTHER JOB BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LIE
FOR A LIVING.
I CALL THAT AN AMERICAN HERO, AND THE
GOVERNMENT THINKS WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE PUT AN END TO IT.
SEND SOME GOONS, I MEAN AGENTS, TO HIS HOUSE, PUT THEM IN BROWN
SHIRTS, I MEAN WHITE SHIRTS, AND MAKE SURE THEY KNOCK ON HIS DOOR
AND LET THEM KNOW YOU DON'T GET TO EMBARRASS US PUBLICLY.
WHAT
DO YOU WANT HIM TO DO?
HIS ONLY OTHER CHOICE WAS STAY IN THE JOB
AND PURPOSELY TELL PEOPLE THINGS HE KNOWS ISN'T TRUE.
>>OUR FREEDOMS AND OUR DEMOCRACY IS DETERIORATING IN
FRONT OF OUR VERY EYES, IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
ALL OF
THESE ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE NECESSITY OF GUNS TO PREVENT
TYRANNY, I MEAN, BUT WE'RE HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION RIGHT
NOW AND THOSE GUNS AREN'T PROTECTING US.
IN FACT, THOSE
GUNS ARE DOING NOTHING MORE THAN HURTING AND KILLING US, RIGHT?
SO HOW DOES ANYONE LOOK AT A VIDEO LIKE THAT AND JUST SEE
WITH THEIR PLAIN EYES WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
IS DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS GUY HAVING AN INTERVIEW WITH
CBS.
THEY JUST HAPPENED TO SHOW UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
INTERVIEW AND KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT?
>>THAT IS A STARTLING COINCIDENCE, BUT EVEN IF IT'S A
COINCIDENCE --
>>BUT HOW WOULD THEY KNOW?
>>IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THAT THEY DON'T KNOW THERE'S AN INTERVIEW
GOING ON, THEY JUST HAPPEN TO WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE
LEAKS AT THAT EXACT TIME, BUT EVEN IN THAT STARTLING
COINCIDENCE, THAT HYPOTHETICAL POSSIBILITY, THING ABOUT IT, YOU
JUST -- ALL YOU SAY IS I DON'T WANT TO LIE FOR YOU.
AND THEY
GO, OH, NOW THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION OF YOU.
WHAT IS
THE INVESTIGATION ABOUT?
THE LEAK, IT'S ABOUT A LEAK.
IF YOU
ARE THE GOVERNMENT YOU CAN DO AN INVESTIGATION WITH NO EVIDENCE
ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL.
DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE THAT HE SENT
AN EMAIL TO THE OAKLAND MAYOR?
NO.
DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE ON
ANYTHING?
NO, BUT I LIKE TO GO BANG ON HIS DOOR AND SHOW HIM
WHO'S IN CHARGE.
WHAT'S OUR INVESTIGATION ABOUT?
LEAKS,
SURE.
IT'S ABOUT A LEAK.
AND NEXT TIME YOU POINT OUT THE
TRUTH THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES.
SO THAT'S WHAT THE
KNOCK ON THE DOOR WAS, WHETHER THEY KNEW CBS WAS IN THERE OR
NOT, AND IF THEY KNEW CBS WAS IN THERE, WHICH I GRANT YOU, ANA,
IS FAR MORE LIKELY, THAT'S THEM PUTTING A KNOCK ON ALL OF OUR
DOORS SAYING, OH, YOU GUYS WANT TO CELEBRATE SOMEONE WHO WON'T
LIE FOR THE GOVERNMENT?
WELL, REMEMBER, THERE ARE
CONSEQUENCES, SO ANYBODY ELSE IN GOVERNMENT WHO WON'T DO OUR
BIDDING, WE'LL COME FOR YOU.
HEY, LOOK AT THAT, WE SENT THAT
MESSAGE ON TV.
WHAT A NICE BREAK FOR US.
GOONS.
>>CAN I SAY ONE LAST THING?
I THOUGHT THE REPUBLICANS WERE
WORRIED ABOUT JACKBOOTED THUGS FROM BIG GOVERNMENT.
NOW THEY
CELEBRATE THEM.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY
PRINCIPLES AT ALL.
THE ONLY THING THEY BELIEVE IN IS AN
AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT WHERE SOME DICTATOR OPPRESSES US ALL.
AND WHY DO THEY EVER SAY ABOUT LIBERALS, THEY JUST WANT TO
CONTROL YOUR LIVES?
PROJECTION.
LIBERALS JUST WANT TO BE LEFT
ALONE, THEY WANT EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, BUT WHAT DO
REPUBLICANS SAY?
NO, THEY WANT TO CONTROL YOUR LIVES.
CONTROL
YOUR LIVES?
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO, THE GUY JUST WANTED TO GET
ANOTHER JOB BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO LIE FOR A LIVING.
NO, WE
ARE SENDING BIG GOVERNMENT IN THERE WITH OUR AGENTS, DO WHAT
WE TELL YOU, AND THE RIGHT WING APPLAUDS BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD
ANY PRINCIPALS THAT ALL.
