Michael Knowles exposes this congressman with just one question in this debate on Piers Morgan.
The solution is empower the law, local law enforcement, give them the funds that they need. It's the funding that needs to come so we can have a more long-term, long-lasting solution as opposed.
Familiar with the Insurrection Act?
Yes, I am. Yes, I am. And this is.
Do you think that's for? You said that this was illegal. You said it was not unconstitutional and illegal for the federal government to send National Guard into cities and states. What, what do you think the Insurrection Act is for?
Well, look, this is an issue that the local government should be handling. It is, this is a.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Act. Let me just ask.
Well, let me just ask. I mean, Congressman, do you actually know what the Insurrection Act says?
Uh yes, you know, but this is, this, this situation.
Well, well, hang on. Well, hang on. What does it say?
Well, look at what we have saw happen in January 6th in the Congress. That's insurrection.
No, no, no, that's not the question. The question is, are you familiar with? Obviously, the government is citing the Insurrection Act as the empowerment to do what it's doing. Are you familiar with, with what the Insurrection Act?
Yes, I am. Look, this president has used all kinds of excuses to break the law. This president has.
No, no, but that is the law. So, what is the law, Congressman? You say you're familiar with the Insurrection Act, but you, you don't seem to be able to describe what it does and you're, you're actually contradicting it. So, what do, what do you think the Insurrection Act does?
Look, look, the issue here is that we need our cities safe. Americans want.
Well, Congressman, we've told you it's, that's not an answer to the question. You said it's illegal, but you seem to be struggling to explain what the Insurrection Act actually is. Tell us.
Well, whatever it is, when the National Guards are picking up trash and the National Guards are watering the flowers, that is not the Insurrection Act.
The congressman might be a little bit confused because he said that the federal government is breaking the law by sending the National Guard in to restore order to the cities where crime has spiraled out of control, where there's obviously violation of federal law with all of the illegal aliens running about, and uh, that that is, is actually what it's for. You, we have a federal government in order to step in when the local and state governments fail. And this has been used many, many times over the course of American history. There's nothing illegal about it. And in fact, what President Trump is, is doing right now is one of the clearest and most just uses of the Insurrection Act. When you have cities that are failing, that are, that, as in your own words, cannot enforce the law, are under-resourced, and are falling into disorder. So, I think, I think you've made a, a good argument for what President Trump is doing.
Boom, roasted.
