1:32 We have to do a better job. We need comp competent good governance. Now that doesn't mean you can't criticize the governor of California for, I think, some very bad decisions over a very long period of time. I mean, some
1:43 of these reservoirs have been dry for 15, 20 years. The fire hydrants are being reported as going dry while the fire high fighters are trying to put out these fires. There was a
1:54 serious lack of competent governance in California, and I think it's part of the reason why these fires have gotten so bad. We need to do a better job at both the state and federal level.
2:03 And speaking of JD Vance, in that same interview with Fox News, the vice president-elect confirmed that the incoming Trump administration would be pardoning nonviolent January sixth participants.
2:16 January sixth pardons president Trump says there's a process. Where is the line drawn on who will and wouldn't be considered for a pardon?
2:22 I think
2:22 it's very simple. Look. If you protested peacefully on January the sixth and you've had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed violence on that day,
2:34 obviously, you shouldn't be pardoned. And there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. And there are a lot of people we think in the wake of
2:43 January the sixth who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that.
2:47 Vance's comments come after Trump told NBC News in December that he would be pardoning January 6 defendants on his first day back in office. Now some commentators are characterizing Vance's
Political Dynamics and Pardons
2:58 statement as a walk back of Trump's promise. Here's how Vance responded to that on social media. Quote, the president saying he'll look at each case and me saying the same is not
3:10 some walk back. I assure you, we care about people unjustly locked up. Yes, that includes people provoked and includes people who got a garbage trial. And in other domestic
Media, Censorship, and Free Speech
3:22 news, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made headlines over the weekend when he told podcaster Joe Rogan that Biden officials screamed at Meta employees to censor content they didn't
3:33 like. Check it out.
3:35 These people from the Biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse. And it's like these documents are it's all kind of out there. Do you
3:45 record any of those phone calls?
3:47 I don't no. I don't think I don't think we were But but I think I wanna listen. I mean, there are emails the the the emails are published. It's all it's all kind of out there. And, and they're like and basically, it just
3:58 got to this point where we were like, no. We're we're not gonna we're not gonna take down things that are true. That's ridiculous.
4:05 While Zuckerberg's comments make it sound like Meta resisted every request by the Biden administration to censor content, the Facebook files show a different story. According to The Federalist, in emails between Facebook
4:16 and the White House, several requests for demoting posts and manipulating the algorithm against content hostile to Biden were honored. Now Zuckerberg's appearance on Rogan comes after he announced last
4:28 week that he would be ending Meta's fact checking program on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. He characterized the move as a win for free speech. And those are today's headlines. I'm Victoria
Washington Watch: Political Priorities
4:40 Marshall. Up next is Washington Watch with Tony Perkins. We'll see you tomorrow at
4:48 Florence.
4:52 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and sound bites into conversations with our nation's leaders and
5:04 newsmakers, all from a biblical worldview. Washington Watch with Tony Perkins starts now.
5:12 Donald Trump got a mandate on November fifth. The public expects us to deal with the excessive spending, the debt, the deficit. They've asked, Donald Trump, to seal the southern border, and they,
5:24 wanna make sure they want peace and stability around the globe. I think, that's what congress will be working with Donald Trump to get done. That was majority whip Tom Emmer yesterday on ABC
5:36 this week. Welcome to Washington Watch. Thanks so much for tuning in. Well, coming up, members of the House Freedom Caucus spent the weekend at the Southern White House discussing legislative priorities and strategies
5:47 with president-elect Donald Trump. We'll get the details from Tennessee congressman Andy Ogles. Are the Los Angeles fires a warning of where the last delusional DEI woke policies could
5:59 lead?
6:00 Now you've got it. You've got a situation where a catastrophe came and the billions of dollars that you and I gave was diverted to other
6:12 woke, stupid democrat projects. That's not a that's not hyperbole. It is a fact.
6:20 That was Patrick Jack Hibbs yesterday at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in California in his Sunday message. He joins me later from Los Angeles. Also, multiple reports out of Israel indicate
6:32 that a deal between Israel and Hamas to secure the release of the hostages is very close.
6:39 We are very, very close, and yet being very close still means we're far because until you actually get across the finish line, we're not there.
6:49 That was White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan yesterday on CNN's State of the Union discussing the negotiations. We'll talk with Daniel Cohen, real life news director from Israel with the latest.
7:01 And FRC's Brent Kylan will be here with an update on the Stand Firm app and some exciting soon to be released content. All of that and more coming up on this edition of Washington Watch. Don't go
7:13 anywhere. Well, over the weekend, president-elect Donald Trump hosted several groups of Republican lawmakers at Mar a Lago to talk about his agenda and how they might be able to work together to accomplish theirShow more
