I said david, they want us to pay A Billion Dollars for theef embassy, i dont want to pay A Billion Dollars. I said do we have any buildingsm that we own . We already own so much, we dont even know what we own. Find some building and a great location and call me back. He called me back two days later and said, mr. President , sir, we are on the best side of jerusalem. Its big, its beautiful and its got a building on it. I can take that building and renovate it and i can do it for 140,000. [cheers and applause] i said david, how good is the site . They could neverer buy a better site. They were willing to spend tens of millions for a site and they wanted a site so bad, and i said david, dont make it 140,000, that sounds too cheap. Make it like 400,000, thats okay too, david. So we saved almost A Billion Dollars. I could tell you these stories all day long. Airplane purchases, i could tell you all day. [cheers and applause] and we started working and, for 400,000 we will actually have a very beautiful American Embassy in jerusalem. Now that is one i guarantee no other president has done. Can you imagine cricket hillary doing that . Can you honestly . [boos] in all fairness, in all fairness to her, can you imagine anybody else doing that . Nobody else. Nobody else is going to do that. And i could tell you stories about what we have saved with purchases for military, Ored General Mattis would be glad to tell you, and he cant believe it. Some of the generals have said they have never seen anything like it in the world. Because i want that 700 billioe properly spent. If we can buy twice the number, or have a lot of money left over, thats what we want. Instead of apologizing for america, we are standing up for america. We are standing up for the heroes who protect america, and yes we are proudly standing up for our Great National anthem. [cheers and applause] with every promise we keep, every record we break, every factory we own, we are restoring strength and american pride. Ri this may be, and in fact it probably is, the greatest t movement in the history of our country. And even they will say that. To keep it going we need to elect more republicans and we need more votes. We need to elect ron desantis as your governor. Gotta do it. And im telling you right now i know him well, hes a great guy and will be an incredible governor. I have no doubt. I dont do these endorsements easily. The other day we endorsed a great gentleman from georgia. He was probably five points down and he won the election by 40 points. He got 70 of the vote, 2 30, great guy. And many others. We could go over one after another, actually starting to give us credit for this. I dont think theres ever been anything like it. Thats why i had to be here to formally weve been endorsing ron but i wanted to be here to formally endorse ron. You have to get out and vote. [cheers and applause] thank you, mrs. Desantis thank you. Get your friends, get your colleagues, get your neighbors and get out and vote in november. You have to do it. Because remember, we will win this primary. But dont take any chances. Nice lead, dont take any chances. And then give yourself ten or 15 minutes of happiness, then go back to work for november. They are putting up, i know some of the candidates. These are people that dont care about stopping crime, these are people that dont care about people pouring into our country when they shouldnt be there. And They Dont Care about stopping drugs from poisoning our youth and pouring over the border. They dont care. Your future governor cares. And your Current Governor cares. Rick scott. Loyal citizens like you, and credible people from great state of florida help build this country. And together we are taking back our country and we Areng Returng power to where it belongs, the American People. [cheers and applause] this state was settled by pioneers and visionaries who explored the marshes and raised up cities right on the sea. The state was built by redblooded american patriots who opened the first Naval Air Station at Pensacola Andot launched the first Brave Americans soaring into the heavens. We stand on the shoulders of generations of Proud Americans who knew how to work, knew how to fight and knew how to win. [cheers and applause] and you know, when you elect ron desantis as your governor, some people are getting a little tired of learning, right . By then it will be another year or two years or three years andr you will be insisting, governor desantis, please be our president. We cant stand it. The people of florida, wee cant stand it. Because under previous administrations we never won. We got used to never winning. And hes going to come to meet in washington in the beautiful oval office and say, mr. President , the people ofov florida are just downright tired of winning. They cant stand it. Its just too much, mr. President. The economy is too good, the jobs are too strong. We are doing too well. Is there anything ron, i dont care what you say, we will keep on winning. We are going to keep on winning. We are going to win so much that the people of florida actually love it, dont they. They love it. Remember what i said right at the beginning, we are respected again and that man is respected and always has been. We will never give up, we will never give in, we will never, ever back down and we will never, ever surrender. Because we are americans and our hearts bleed red,re white and blue. We are one people. We are one family. And we are one glorious nation under god. And together we will make w America Wealthy again. We will make America Strong again. We will make america safe again. We will make America Great again. Thank you, florida, thank you [cheers and applause] tucker the president speaking to a rally in tampa, florida,. For over an hour during the rally the president weighed in on a couple different topics from the United States military to the government of florida. He weighed in on the republican primary, backing ron desantis pretty assertively. And he had this to say about the u. S. Mexico border. President trump and we are going to have tremendous Border Security that will include the wall. A lot of people dont know it, but we have already started the wall. We have 1. 6 billion and we have started large portions of the wall, but we are going to need, even the way we negotiate, we will need more and we will get more and we may have to do some pretty drastic things, but we are going to get it. Tucker the border wall of course the centerpiece of the president s 2016 campaign and yet republicans in congress for the past year and a half have not been eager to provide funding for that wall, or the border enforcement with the president has repeatedly promised. They are content to Produce Ag Master tax cut and not a lot else. Byron york has been watching carefully and he joins us tonight. Byron, it seems to be a huge disconnect between the president says he wants and what the congress is willing to provide. Why is that . Disconnect between the president says he wants and what the congress is willing to provide. Why is that . I think the speaker of the house whos leaving congress at the end of this year simply doesnt want to do it. In the Majority Leader of the house excuse me, a Majority Leader of the senate, doesnt seem to care all that much one way or the other. The other problem of course is of course the president who did make this the showcase of his 2016 campaign has not pushed as he could have two get this or congress. Tucker why do you think that is . We heard someone say we can get the wall next year, we will get it next year. Well now next year is here and its almost august. We heard the president at his speech tonight saying he got 1. 6 billion and thats not going to do it. And the president simply is not not focused on this. Members of Congress Need to be led, they need to be pushed and need to be cajoled, in some cases bribed, or a president to get what he wants. Its going to take a while for the president to master that art. Tucker interesting. So what does the republicans think will happen if they plan to ride the president s popularity to victory to the extent they can in the midterms . But if they are not making good on the promises i got the president elected, how do they believe that will work for them . Go back to 2006. There was a bill passed called the Secure Fence Act Of 2006 and it mandated a triple layer fence along about 700 miles of the u. S. Border. If it had been built, it would have really helped stop illegal crossings of the u. S. Border. It was passed with big bipartisan majorities, and among those in there are senator schumer, senator biden, there was a bipartisan consensus to go for it and there was a bipartisanll consensus not to build the fence. It wasnt built in the bush administration, it wasnt built in the obama administration. And youve seen the need to placate voters by promising to do something about this but the determination to never actually do it. Tucker at some point voters will rebel against that. Theyoi figure out that the footballs being pulled out from under them. Byron york, great to see you. For more than a month now supporters of illegal immigration in the state of oregon have decided to halt enforcement of Immigration Law by harassing the people who are tasked with enforcing it. Activists engaged in an occupied i. C. E. Protest at one of the agencys facility in oregon. They finally left but they leftg a gigantic gigantic pile of garbage to never them by. Reporter where protesters once stood, trashed elders a property near the i. C. E. Building. Protesters left this behind it. Work trucks packed to the brim with everything from food, furniture, Cardboard Signs and wooden pallets. A Tri Net Official said workers even found needles on the ground. Tucker Cameron Whitten attended and spent overnight at the occupy i. C. E. Protest in oregon. Thanks for coming on. Tucker, nice to see you again. Tucker nice to see you. So is this a foretaste of what will happen if the revolution actually happens . You guys take over in leave piles of garbage, why would this reassure anybody watching at home that activists likeba yourself should have any power over anything. Bo first what i want to do is celebrate the successful display of the grassroots People Powered change. What happened here was occupy i. C. E. Both here in portland and across the country to send a powerful message about the economic crisis. Regardless of four former first ladies tucker yes i know hopefully the u. S. President will change part of a draconian immigration policy. And more can be done to demand change. Tucker i know you are excited about this, hold on. Why couldnt you use that peoplo power were telling me about to pick up the garbage when you left. You mobilized, got a massha movement, and have engaged people that want to make america better. But you leave beer bottles and hypodermic needles behind. Is that really the kind of change that most people want . It i call that deflection. Can we talk now about the interests of the American People . Tucker you leftat a trash heap. You are avoiding Thee Conversation . Tucker no show addresses this topic more directly than this one does. But i was born here, i dont want to live in a place that looks like tegucigalpa. I dont think anyone does including immigrants. Im just saying, if you are setting a model for the rest of us. And we will move on with that. We are living in a time of crisis in the United States and im so thankful that there are people who are demanding change. And you know what, what we are w dealing with now is a crisis. We cannot sit here and cast blame for certain individual actions. You cannot take certain individual actions and then dismiss why we are here. Stop distracting from the message. The message we are focusing on right now is a question on a whether tucker you dont even want to read. Okay. Let me talk to you this is central to the point. Let me talk to you on your terms. So say you have an annual Family Barbecue and your brotherinlaw showing up drunk. So there was a protest where people werent just camping outside. We are talking about this message. And holding immigrations and customs enforcement. Where do you guys learn this . Everybody im sure you dont agree with the actions and what they say. You cannot ignore the fact all right, he wont give up. I cant handle it. Thanks cameron. I dont think you did yourself or your cause any help at all, or maybe you did. Theres that cameraon guy, the guy that left all the beer bottles and hypodermic needles, i like him. Maybe there is someone like that, call me if you exist. The basic principle of angloamerican civilization is that everybody is treated equally before the law, no matter who you are and what your political views are. The left is willing to jettison that ancient principal to protect people who should bel here in the first place. The mayor of Portland Ted Wheeler said he supported the s protesters and refused to have the police intervene against them. Heres what he said. I stand with those who are opposed to forced separation of children from their parents. I have consistently stated that i do not want the Portland Police bureau it engaged in securing federal property that houses a federal agency with its own federal police force. So here is the detail that makes you worried that maybe we are moving toward some kind of civil conflict. Maybe things really are coming apart. The police in portland, oregon, which is a big modern city refused to even answer the 911 calls from the occupied building. That means the local police refused to protect american citizens. Because they didnt agree with their politics. The i. C. E. National council has sent a Cease And Desist letter to ensure that there right to protection is preserved. Brandon, i guess i just want to make sure i have the facts in this right because it seems like one of those seminal moments where all of a sudden you realize everything is really different. Are you claiming, is your agency saying that the city of portland refused to protect you despite your request for protection because they didnt agree with your politics . They did. Unfortunately for the citizens of portland, but they have to understand is now if they disagree with the mayors position, is a good chance that this mayor is not going to allow their Police Officers to support them if they feel like they are in danger from a tax or the physical person is in danger, and that is the wrong message to send. But tucker, lets be clear. s thats actually going to play in the favor of the conservatives because this is the kind of crazy talked at bally the conservatives to the cause that says, we have got to stop this. In the vast majority of americans tucker wait a minute, hold on. Where is the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department . They are denying equal protection under the law and thats a constitutional violation if there ever was one. Why are they gettingre arrested . Where is the Civil Rights Division on that . Its my understanding that this is currently and their failure to respond to the 9 11 clause, but the mayor said thate there was a federal Law Enforcement agency. Is the mayor concluding thator e federal Law Enforcement agency has the right to enforce all of the laws including the laws of the city . There is supposed to be a separation between Law Enforcement agencies, and in this case it was the portlande Police Department that has the responsibility to enforce those laws that were beingas infringed upon. It wasnt the responsibility of i. C. E. To enforce those laws, it was the mayors responsibility and he failed to. Tucker the bottom line is, when an american citizen calls the Law Enforcement agency for help, they have a responsibility. Thats todays politics and thats what we have to get beyond. It makes me happy when things like this happen because the vast majority of americans disagree with these types of policies and then we get people who care elected. Thank you very much for that. Thank you, tucker. Paul manafort didnt kill anybody, He Didnt Deal Drugs and he was not even accused of colluding with russia. He is facing 300 years in prison, why is that . We will tell you, next. With expedias addon advantage, booking a Flight Unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. Addon advantage. Only when you book with expedia. When the guy in Frontd Down The Highway slams on his brakes out of nowhere. You do, too, but not in time. Hey, no big deal. Youve got a good record and Liberty Mutual wont hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. You hear that, karen . Liberty mutual doesnt hold grudges. How mature of them. For drivers with Accident Forgiveness Political Correctness<\/a> in Campus Craziness and. I said david, they want us to pay A Billion Dollars<\/a> for theef embassy, i dont want to pay A Billion Dollars<\/a>. I said do we have any buildingsm that we own .

The beat goes on. Tucker jurors were selected today for Paul Manaforts<\/a> trial in eastern virginia. Paul manafort is in deep trouble, even though he hasnt been convicted of anything, hes been punished severely. Ve a large group of fbi agents all of them arm stormed into his home, apparently a surprising\rhis wife in the shower and terrifying his family. Fb they could have made a simple call to his lawyer but they didnt. He then had his bail revoked and he is being held in solitaryy confinement about pretty much ever since. For crimes he was accused of in the state of virginia, Paul Manafort<\/a> now faces 305 years ina prison and that is several life sentences. So what exactly is Paul Manafort<\/a> accused of doing . If you guessed murder, guess again. The average violent felon in this country received just six and a half years behind bars. Paul manafort is accused of something far worse than murder, tax evasion and violating banking regulations. The government isnt even suggesting that manna fort stole money from a bank, for guessing he was dishonest on loan applications. If you are confused, maybe this will clear up the story for you. The prosecutor leading the case against Paul Manafort<\/a> is named andrew weissmann. Hes an enthusiastic democratic partisan and now hes trying to send the Campaign Manager<\/a> to prison for life on a tax chargeu the average sentence for tax fraud in this country is a year and three months. That could be much longer though if you have their own politics apparently. Alan dershowitz is a retired Harvard Law Professor<\/a> and he joins us tonight. Professor, i make the obvious disclaimer that i dont know Paul Manafort<\/a> and i certainly cant vouch for his ethics. But looking at this pretty carefully, this is a case about tax evasion and bank fraud. He is getting a sentence or threatened with a sentence that is so disproportionate compared to the average that it makes you wonder, Whats Going On<\/a> here . Its very simple. His crime is being associated with donald trump. Dont listen to me on this,\rlisten to judge ellis. The judge ruled and said, they are not interested in Paul Manafort<\/a>. They are just trying to get him convicted so they can squeeze him. If you squeeze a witness not only does the witness sayingd bt sometimes according to the judge the witness composes. That is, he becomes creative. He makes up information and elaborates. Because they know the better the story, the better the deal. This trial is not about manafort. If he hadnt been associated with the Trump Campaign<\/a> he would be out in new york or whatever doing his business. Its an attempt to convict him of doing whatever they could possibly find against him, know how matter how unrelated is to the mueller probe, to see if they can get him to sing or compose. Thats not justice as i thought it was practiced in this country at all. Unfortunately it is the way\rthat justice has been practiced against the mafia and against terrorists and we civil libertarians have long been opposed to this way ofains dealg with problems. But the civil libertarians are quiet today, because the object is donald trump. Do you hear the aclu complainedc about this . Do you hear the National Association<\/a> of of Criminal Defense Lawyers<\/a> complaining . We have always complained about this tactic when its used against other people. Now you have some zealots standing in front of the courthouse saying, lock him up. Lock him up. I was objecting when they had signs saying, lock her up, related to clinton. And civil libertarian all over the country ought to be concerned about this. If this hurts trump, its good. If it helps trump its no good. Especially when an actual human being, a 68yearoldld man is facing life in prison for not filling up the bank forms correctly. A thats pretty unbelievable. Thank you for your perspective on that. Heroin is killing americans by the Tens Of Thousands<\/a> and yet at the very moment when our drug crisis flaming completely out of control, congress has decided to reduce the penalties for heroin smuggling. Why are they doing that . S our special series continues after the break. My family and i did a Fundraiser Walk<\/a> in honor of my dad, willy davis, who has alzheimers.

Its just a gray dot. There are multiples on the table one is cash, three are fha, one is va. So what can you do . Shes saying a whole lotta people want to buy this house. But you got this Rocket Mortgage<\/a> by Quicken Loans<\/a> makes the complex simple. Understand the details and get approved in as few as 8 minutes by americas largest mortgage lender. And heroin are the culprit. So a bipartisan is trying to reduce criminal sentencing for drug smugglers. That would cut the mandatory minimum for example, for, for smuggling a kilogram across the border from ten years, to five. Whitney, thank you for coming on. I think most people three years ago when they first heard about Sentencing Reform<\/a> had in mind a lowlevel drug users, marijuana dealers, and we thought, why are we sending these people away for life . And i think some people believe that we should have some\rSentencing Reform<\/a>. Sentence for a massive Heroin Trafficker<\/a> . A kilo of heroin contains over 30,000 equivalent lethal doses of heroin. The reason we reduce the penalty is not because we are reducing the penalty for every single drug smuggler. What we are talking about here is due process. Constitutional rights of defendants to be sentenced in a way that is not a onesizefitsall. At the bottom line is these judges that are serving on the United States<\/a> Sentencing Commission<\/a> and advising the senate could committee the judiciary, there is no nexus between these to crony and mandatory sentencing because onesizefitsall and every single Drug Trafficking<\/a> defendant. Not every Drug Trafficking<\/a>ng defendant is someone smuggling across the border. Intent to distribute and i understand that. But the threshold with Thisut Reform<\/a> and this bill is a kilo, 2. 2 pounds of heroin. Once again, thats over 30,000 lethal doses of heroin. Thats a huge amount. Thats right, but it makes it discretionary for federal judges. We already have safety valves. The Tech Giant Twitter<\/a> has been caught hiding the opinions ofav users whose opinion it doesnt agree with. There used to be a lot of civil libertarians on the left and ten years they might have made noise about this but now very few have said anything. Some of you have even raced to defendant twitter. But few have agreement remembered with the movement was prior to and has been blasting twitter for its attack on open discourse. So thanks a lot for coming on. This seems like a pretty clear example of squelching political speech that you dont agree\rwith, am i misreading . Tucker thats not true you were being inaccurate. If you are in possession of a kilo of heroin by definition, you are going to be charged with trafficking. You cant use 30,000 doses of heroin, youre selling it. Somebody who is carrying 10 kilograms over a period of five years, tucker so a lethal dose of heroin is 30 micrograms. The reason they do it as you know and as Jeff Sessions<\/a> knows is because they are trolling. You go after the little fish where the little fish are. If youre interested in fixing the problem this is how you do it. You dont get federal judges the availability to make\rdiscretionary decisions regarding sentencing. Tucker why do you think we have mandatory minimums in the first place . If you come await to federal court, i promise were not giving away the farm, its not happening. Tucker its a frustrating conversation. Its frustrating for all of us. Tucker twitter working to silence unwanted opinions and most of the civil libertarians are being silent. Tucker The Tech Giants Twitter<\/a> has been caught hiding the opinions of users whose opinions it doesnt agree with. There used to be a lot of civil libertarians on the left in ten years ago they might of noise about this. Now very few have said anything and some have defended twitter. Some remember what their movement believed priorgr to two years ago and are blasting twitter for its attacks on open discourse. Intercept cofounder Glenn Greenwald<\/a> joins us tonight. This seems like a pretty clear example of squelching political speech that you dont agree with, and my misreading it . Im not sure i would completely agree with that, im not sure Silicon Valley<\/a> billionaires are proceeding leftists, i doubt they are receptive to the leftwing insurgency of bernie sanders\ror they are not very comfortable with the protrump plane on the right either. We generally dont trust governments to make decisions on what things are false and what things are true. Why would we possibly trust Silicon Valley<\/a>ey executives who have even less accountability and transparency, no democratic accountability too make those decisions on those platforms that have for better or for worse become our p public squar . If we think its only going to in ways that we like look at the history of censorship, thats number how it works. Especially when some of these companies specifically have been in effect granted an exception from antimonopoly laws. They have a monopoly in a bunch of different areas and the government is okay with with that because theyre taking a bunch of money from lobbyists. That gives the rest of us a right to weigh in on it. Dont we have a right to believe that its not being censored . For conservatives in general there is dogma that the government has no business telling private companies what they can and cant do what ideas they have to associate themselves with. The only exception to that i think by consensus is when a Company Becomes<\/a> more than just a company, they have monopolisticm power. In the case Like Companies<\/a> like google and facebook, Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> said we are basically like a government we make our own laws that cover our community. 2 billion people use facebook and when you look at what these Companies Control<\/a> its not c jut widgets, its data about us and the flow of news and information and debate, its essentially\rlimitless with limitless control to do whatever they want to do it in secret, its a serious menace to ourl democracy. Nobody should Like Companies<\/a> like this having monopolistic power greater than the governments of nationstates which is what theypo have. Tucker especially if you have nonconventional opinions. Anybody who thinks for himself to be threatened.
