Is the legacy media still covering up the coverup?

0

14.091 - 26.544

That is why the fourth estate, the media, is so important, because its job is to look at the natural way that power operates and to hold power to account.

27.105 - 34.092 Mary Margaret Olihan

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, May 22nd, and this is Morning Wire.

39.974 - 46.757 Daily Wire Correspondent

Porter's R. Tom Homan gives us a sneak peek into his deportation plans and how ICE will handle hostile sanctuary cities.

47.177 - 52.019 Tom Homan

So they're going to get exactly what they don't want. More agents in the community and more collateral risk.

52.339 - 59.241 Mary Margaret Olihan

And the Supreme Court hands a big win to an elected official in Maine who is speaking out about the state's transgender policies.

59.621 - 68.545 Maine Legislator

I can vote, which is the key part. That's the most important, right? Because my constituents have been without a vote on important legislation for three months now.

68.966 - 72.087 Daily Wire Correspondent

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

Chapter 2: How is the legacy media involved in the Biden cover-up?

126.243 - 135.607 Mary Margaret Olihan

Joining us now is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. So Cabot, more evidence has been coming out about what was really going on behind the scenes during Biden's term. What have we learned?

0

136.047 - 155.921

Yeah, the drip drip of stories about Biden has turned into a waterfall this week. On Tuesday, the authors of the new bombshell book, Original Sin, CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson, revealed the existence of what they called a politburo of longtime consiglieres or advisors of Biden who were heavily influencing everything he did.

156.121 - 158.423

Here they are talking about that group on The Megyn Kelly Show.

As new details continue to emerge regarding the White House cover up of President Biden's decline and those actually running the country, the legacy media is facing new pressure for their role in the scandal.

156.121 - 158.423

Here they are talking about that group on The Megyn Kelly Show.

159.212 - 182.965

The people that we're naming would be Mike Donilon, Steve Reschetti. Mike Donilon is his top political advisor. Steve Reschetti is his top legislative advisor. Ron Klain, when he was chief of staff. Bruce Reed, his basically longtime policy advisor. Those are sort of the four. They were known as the Politburo, Gray Hairs, Poobahs, and they were with him the most of anybody.

183.065 - 198.877

Then there's this other sort of group that aren't the Politburo but are just as powerful, and they were the ones that kept the schedule going. affected personnel and really built the bubble. And that would be Annie Tomasini, who's deputy chief of staff and previously Oval Office operations.

Chapter 7: What does the Media Research Center report about media coverage?

480.562 - 498.03 Tom Homan

Well, look, we've made a lot of progress on the border, but we want to keep it permanent. We need the money, not just for the border, but interior enforcement operations. Money for the border is going to help continue building the border wall. Every place a border barrier has been built, illegal migrations went down, illegal drug flow went down. So we got to put more border wall up.

0

498.07 - 516.78 Tom Homan

And plus, we got technology in the existing border wall that Joe Biden stopped putting in. As far as the interior enforcement operations, ICE needs money. ICE is in the hole right now. They got about 50,000 people in beds. We're funding for 34,000. ICE is already in the hole. So if we want to continue this massive deportation operation, we need more money.

0

Chapter 8: How does the ad segment discuss Vanta and its importance?

517.041 - 523.887 Tom Homan

People are asking, they don't think there's enough deportations, not enough ICE arrests. I agree with them. I'm pushing for more arrests. We need money to do it.

0

524.007 - 528.472 Mary Margaret Olihan

So let's say we do get the money for these deportations. What comes next in your strategy?

0

529.997 - 548.602 Tom Homan

Vastly increasing number of teams on the street. More teams will hit the streets. More arrests can be made. We have a bed for them. And more flights, more frequent flights to remove them quickly. Rather than sitting in an ice facility for a month, we'll have flights ready to go. It'll be very expedient, very efficient. So you'll see us hit the ground running day one.

0

549.386 - 554.229 Mary Margaret Olihan

How have your operations been going in some of these blue cities like Boston? I know you've been spending a lot of time up there.

0

554.249 - 569.692 Tom Homan

They're going good, but it could be better. Sanctuary cities do, you know, make us less efficient because rather than one agent arresting one bad guy in a jail, We're safe for the community, safe for the agent, safe for the alien. We got to send a whole team in the community to find them.

570.053 - 582.431 Tom Homan

If you're going to keep releasing public safety threats in the community, we're going to give you exactly what you don't want. We're going to flood the zone. We're going to send more agents in the communities, many more agents, We're going to send many more agents on worksite enforcement operations.

582.451 - 595.11 Tom Homan

If we can't get him to jail the safe and efficient way, we'll get him in the community or we'll get him at worksites. Don't want to hear anything from Sanctuary City. I don't want to hear a word about us arresting non-criminals. You put us in that position, that's what's going to happen.

595.35 - 603.735 Mary Margaret Olihan

Okay, so what's your message to Republican holdouts in the House of Representatives or Democrats who are not supporting the bill and not coming through for these initiatives?

603.815 - 621.625 Tom Homan

There's no downside on a secure border. There's no downside on less trafficking of women and children. There's no downside on less fentanyl. There's no downside on less people on terrorist watch lists coming across. There's no downside on taking billions of dollars away from the cartels. There's no downside on removing public safety threats and national security threats from this country.
