This is happening currently. 34 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: He spoke earlier today. I got clips of his speech. 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: We probably won't get to a lot on this show 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: just by nature of the fact that I got Michelle, 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: I got Peter here, but I will make a point 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: to document some of what I think are the most 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: important moments, probably for tomorrow's live show and worst case scenario, 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: we will put. 41 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: Things out as a podcast. 42 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: Also yesterday, just to give you a heads up, recorded 43 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: to fantastic podcast one with Nate Morris, who's running for 44 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Senate in Kentucky. He's going up against the Mitch McConnell machine. 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: He's a very good man, and you're gonna like getting 46 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: to know him and very hardcore on the most important 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: issues to me, especially immigration. And I also recorded one 48 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: with Jamie Kennedy, who is a comedian. You guys know 49 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: him from Malibu's Most Wanted b rad also the Screen 50 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: Movies touring comic, very popular online and has become increasingly 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: outspoken in terms of his conservatism and right of center values, 52 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: which he doesn't even necessarily describe himself that way. He 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: just hates the infringements on free speech and he hates authoritarianism. 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: You'd love to see that stuff. Both of those will 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: be coming out on the Alex Marlow podcast feeds soon. 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: So you guys you told me we've got Michelle Now. 57 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: Michelle Tafoya is with me now, my colleague on the 58 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: Salem Podcast Network, one of the most famous broadcasters in 59 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: I would say sports history, and is now a candidate 60 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: for Senate in Minnesota, her home state. Michelle, I want 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: to connect with you about Minnesota, and I'm really glad 62 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: you're here under these circumstances, which is even better. I 63 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: think this is terrific news. And you're going to have 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: a contested primary, You're going to have a very hard 65 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: race in a blue state. 66 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: But what made you think this is the moment? 67 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: Well, look, we're having a crisis here in Minnesota. You're 68 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: well aware of that, most people are. We have a 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: crisis of leadership, and the career politicians who brought us 70 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: to this place aren't helping and they're not going to 71 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: do anything about it. So it's going to be up 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: to the rest of us. You know, I've lived here 73 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 3: for thirty plus years, thirty two years now, I think, 74 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: and I remember Minnesota, the peaceful streets, the quiet towns, 75 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: the tight knit communities, the excellent schools, and we've been 76 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: sliding backwards. And I've noticed this for It's not sudden, 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: it's been happening. But now we have a Senate seat 78 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: that is open, and I'm ready. 79 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 5: And you know what, the. 80 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: Career politicians can keep moving their chest pieces around and 81 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: trying to put people into offices, but they are not 82 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: fixing everything. And we are at a crisis stage. And 83 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: so that's why I'm running. 84 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, this is a It must hurt to be 85 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: in Minnesota and to see what's going on where the 86 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: whole country is pointing at your state and saying this 87 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: is a disgrace, and I'm glad you're running for the 88 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: Senate because it's such a blue state. 89 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: The governor race seems that would seem very tough. 90 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: And I know there's a governor race coming up, but 91 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that there is some responsible 92 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: conservatives who are there in that state keeping an eye 93 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: on things, because it is not just tampoon Jimmy Walls 94 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: who is responsible for the Somali fraud. I think anyone 95 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: who's held power in that state bear some of the responsibility. 96 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: That includes Amyklobachari Clo, it includes any mainstream Democrat. 97 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: And that includes Peggy Flanagan. We could call it the 98 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: Flannagan fraud. She is the lieutenant governor under Tim Palls. 99 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: And it includes Angie Craig who was in Washington as 100 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: a congresswoman and was supposed to be mining the store. 101 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 3: No one put a stop to this. No one asked 102 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: questions because they were politically incorrect or inconvenient questions. So 103 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: this fraud makes everyone in Minnesota sick. I don't care 104 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: what side of the Aye you're on or where you 105 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: lie politically. This was billions and we don't even know the. 106 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 5: Grand total yet. Alex As you know, but this. 107 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: Is billions of dollars that was intended for children, and 108 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: it went to these criminals so that they could have 109 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: beachfront property and really nice vacations and jewelry. So this 110 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: is sickening to everyone. And again it really started with 111 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 3: the crisis of leadership and the unwillingness of people like 112 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: our Attorney General Keith Ellison, the unwillingness to do the 113 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: work and ask the questions and take care of Minnesota's 114 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: tax dollars. 115 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing. 116 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: He was spending his time yesterday with Don Lemon defending 117 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: his right to storm churches with protesters who are against ice, 118 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: against enforcing our immigration and customs laws. It just seems 119 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: like like so many elections is going to be an 120 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: immigration election us through what your policy, as your position 121 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: is on immigration right now as you run. 122 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 3: Well, I am really happy to see the border secured again. 123 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: Under Joe Biden. For four years it was anything but. 124 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 3: And so these leftist elitists let in millions of people. 125 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: You couldn't possibly vet all of them, and now we've 126 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: got criminals and even terror. 127 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 5: Suspects among us. 128 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: It is up to law enforcement to do their job 129 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: and root them out. We don't need extra criminals in 130 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: our society. We simply don't. So what Tim Wallas has 131 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: done is called it fascist and racist to enforce the law, 132 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 3: and then he has fanned the flames, calling Ice this 133 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: invading force. It is that kind of rhetoric that has 134 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 3: brought us to this environment where some people in Minnesota 135 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: think it's their duty to go out and throw their 136 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: bodies or their cars in front of ice, to obstruct ice, 137 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 3: harass ice, attack Ice. 138 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 5: Look, I've talked. 139 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: To leaders in law enforcement here and they wish that 140 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 3: they were allowed to do more to help out because 141 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: this probably wouldn't have happened. The tragic story of Renee 142 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: Good probably wouldn't have happened had the Minneapolis police, the 143 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: Ramsey County Police, the police locally here had been able 144 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: to do their jobs and assist. This probably wouldn't have happened. 145 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: What happened to Renee Good was awful and tragic and heartbreaking, 146 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: but it could have been avoided had you know, first 147 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: of all, the fans not been flamed by Walls and Company, 148 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: and had the police been allowed to do the jobs. 149 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 5: One officer said. 150 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: To me, you know, we risk life and limb to 151 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: go bring a criminal into jail, then they're released, and 152 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: now you've got to have another officer go risk life 153 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: and limb to round up the same criminal. It makes 154 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: no sense, it's inefficient, and it's ended in tragedy in 155 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: one particular case. 156 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about this. 157 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: And of course, if there wasn't any Somali fraud the state, 158 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: then she wouldn't have died because that's why she was 159 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: protesting the ice presence, which was only there because of 160 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: all this fraud that had gone unchecked. So you get 161 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: to Washington, give me your top three priorities right off 162 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: the bat. 163 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: Well, let's just start with leadership, because currently we've got 164 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: a crisis there, particularly with the Minnesota delegation. I mean, 165 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: we have prioritized and spent taxpayer money on illegal immigrants 166 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: coming in. We put them in hotel rooms and fed them, 167 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 3: while average American families are trying to pay their rent 168 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: and trying. 169 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: To put food on the tables. That's kind of crazy. 170 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,119 Speaker 3: This current crop of leaders is insistent on the insanity 171 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: of boys and men in girls and women's sports. That's 172 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: simply that's in more than an eighty twenty issue. I 173 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: think that's a ninety five to five issue that is insanity. 174 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: So it starts with leadership. Then it's law enforcement. You 175 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: can't have a civil society if people don't feel safe, 176 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: and that requires law enforcement. And I backed the law 177 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 3: enforcement one hundred percent. And then we go into middle 178 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: class crisis. 179 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 5: Family. 180 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: Look, I'm a working mom. I know how hard it 181 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: is for moms and dads out there to do that 182 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: balancing act. We had horrible inflation under Joe Biden, so 183 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 3: things became excruciatingly expensive, and we're trying to work our 184 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: way out of that. So we've got to continue to 185 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: bring taxes down, make things more affordable, groceries, rent, mortgages, 186 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: all of those things. And we've got to get this 187 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: attitude of you know, hey, let's give more power and 188 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: money to big pharma, to teachers, unions, to big government. 189 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: We've got to get that leaner and give power and 190 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: control back to the citizens. 191 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is exactly right, Michelle. I want you to do. 192 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: You have a campaign website said this is fresh as 193 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: of this morning, where s people go if they want 194 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: to get involved, and. 195 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: We are going to need all the help we can get. 196 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 3: This is going to be a slog.

We can't do this alone, and 200 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: I appreciate shit you given me the opportunity to plug that. 201 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: Alex absolutely come back anytime.

We just announced this morning a big event 212 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: that I'll be hosting with the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnik 213 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. On the eleventh of febrwhere that's 214 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: going to be really cool. I'll try to make sure 215 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: there are highlights for you here on the show, but 216 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: also check out Bryper dot com for more details on that, 217 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: so you can check it out.

Another big announcement from today, 225 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: Michelle Tafoya running for Senate in Minnesota. She's been my 226 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: guest on the podcast before. This is your first time 227 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: on the Marlowe Live radio show. She's my colleague on 228 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: the Salem Podcast Network as well. Michelle, give me more 229 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: about the evolution from when you are a sideline reporter, 230 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: you're traveling around the world that you're talking to some 231 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: of the coolest athletes on the planet. All of a 232 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: sudden you find yourself kind of in the political world 233 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: and then now you're running for a really important senency 234 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: because this is an opportunity to take a blue state 235 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: and make it at least purple. Right now, this is 236 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: an incredible moment you find yourself right in the middle 237 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: of it. Take us through that journey. 238 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: You know, it really started for me. Alex on nine 239 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 3: to eleven. That was sort of a political awakening for me. 240 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 3: I've just been married less than a year and saw 241 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: the world differently, and I started really paying a lot 242 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: closer attention to everything, started reading history more. 243 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 5: I love this country. I always have my dad. 244 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: His parents were immigrants and legal immigrants who came to 245 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: this country, and he always told me, You've already won 246 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: the lottery by being in America, and so I was, 247 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: and I believe that with all of my whole heart. 248 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: So for years and years, covering the NFL as much fun, 249 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 3: and covering the Olympics and the NBA and college football 250 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: and college basketball, all that was so great and so fun. 251 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: And I remember sometimes you're down on the field and 252 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: you see the military guys, you know, sometimes they're the 253 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: ones who bring the flag out for the national anthem, 254 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: and you just want to go hug them all because 255 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 3: you appreciate so much the sacrifice they're making so that 256 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: we can have what is the American lifestyle, the American dream. 257 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 5: So all of this just. 258 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: Continued to percolate within me, and I thought from about 259 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, I thought I was going to leave Sunday 260 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: Night football. I stayed on got us through the COVID year, 261 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 3: got us through another Super Bowl, and finally decided, you know, 262 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 3: this is this is the time for me to leave 263 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: and start another chapter in my life. And as you know, 264 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: I've done the podcast and I've been doing a lot 265 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: of commentary. And the more I do it, Alex, and 266 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 3: the more I learn and the more I see, and 267 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: the more frustrated I get with politics as usual. I thought, 268 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: you know, we're always looking for people of integrity to run, 269 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 3: and I understand why people don't want to run. I 270 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 3: already feel like it, believe me. But you know what, 271 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 3: I have a spine, I have a thick skin. That's 272 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 3: something that a television career will give you. But more 273 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: than anything, I have a love of this country and 274 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: a love of this state, and I don't want to 275 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: see it slide into a place where we can't turn 276 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: it around. So I think this is a tipping point, 277 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 3: and that's why I jumped in. 278 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: This is really essential. I was thinking about this concept 279 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: about what makes America special. Is it freedomb or is 280 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: it free stuff? And it seems like some of what 281 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: the message that you was imparted on you in your 282 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: youth is it's the freedom, and then you see what's 283 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: happening in Minnesota right now, and it's just people pursuing 284 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: free stuff, and that is really essentially a massive problem. 285 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: So what happened to your state? And how do you 286 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: fix it? 287 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 5: Well? 288 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's been going on for a 289 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: long time, and it's been covered up for a long time. 290 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: And I don't think Minnesota is unique in this. I 291 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: think we're starting to see it in California. I think 292 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: we're going to see it in New York. We're going 293 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: to see it in other places. Minnesota handled it so poorly, 294 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 3: and now we've seen this billions and billions of fraud 295 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: that was committed, money that was supposed to go to kids. 296 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: How do we clean it up? I mean, look, we've 297 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: got to ask tough questions. We've got to hold people 298 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: to account. I think that's one of the things that 299 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: Americans are really tired of seeing, is no accountability for 300 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: your actions when they're illegal, when they're immoral, and people 301 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: want accountability. Most people in their jobs, in their fields, 302 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: in their families would be held accountable for doing such thing, 303 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 3: for telling lies, for defrauding people. Why are not our 304 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: political elite held to that same standard. So I'm not 305 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: in that political elite group, not even close. And it's time. 306 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: It's time this has gotten too big and gone too 307 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: far and it's got to be stopped. 308 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: You got great name, ID. I think you've got bona 309 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: fides as a mom, as a career woman, as someone 310 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: who is not a hardcore radical, and a blue state. 311 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: I think you've got a real shot here, Michelle.

Thank you for that, Alex, and thank 322 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: you Michelle. 323 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: And what's really interesting, also, if Kloba Charb becomes the governor, 324 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: there could be two sentate racist so maybe you'll have 325 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: to twice but hopefully only once. And when Michelle Tafoya, 326 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: thank you, I got around. I'll be right back with 327 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer. 328 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 5: Take care. 329 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: The Invisible Coup is Peter Schweitzer's latest book. It's the 330 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: number one book in the world according to Amazon, which 331 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: they would know. And I just finished it on the 332 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: way in today, right before the show started. I finished 333 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the book in its entirety and it is a fascinating read. Peter, 334 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: you've done it again. I can't believe you keep finding 335 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: all this stuff. Unfortunately, as usual, this classifies a bit 336 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: as a horror book because so many of the things 337 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: are so inexplicable that we're doing in this country. But 338 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the big premise here is 339 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: that what we're witnessing is not just the great replacement. 340 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: That's way too polite of a way to put what's 341 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: going on. We're seeing countries around the world subvert the 342 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: United States of America by exploiting our immigration system. And 343 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about some of the specific countries, 344 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: but just opening on that premise, please, Yeah. 345 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 4: I mean, we've been having a very important debate in 346 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 4: this country on immigration, and the debate Alex has been 347 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 4: largely about the affection of the effect that it has 348 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 4: on our economy and wages, violent crime, the effect it 349 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 4: has on our culture. All those things are important, but 350 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 4: I think we're missing a really large piece of this. 351 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: That sealing the border, which Donald Trump has done, which 352 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 4: is I think crucially important, doesn't really address and that 353 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 4: is the simple fact of the matter that foreign actors, 354 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 4: foreign governments like China, Mexico, and foreign organizations like the 355 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: Muslim Brotherhood have weaponized immigration. They are actually using it 356 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 4: as a form of civilizational warfare against us. That's not hyperbole, 357 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 4: that's actually something that these individuals themselves have said, leaders 358 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 4: of these countries, leaders of these movements have said. So 359 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: we have to take them at their word, and we 360 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 4: have to understand the methodologies that they're using and how 361 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 4: they really mean to use this effectively as a trojan 362 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 4: horse to undermine the United States. 363 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right, and I want to start with 364 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: some of the countries. Let's take some of them piece 365 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: by piece. Mexico is a really fascinating portion of the book, 366 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: partially for me as a los Angelo, because you really, 367 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: I think, put some important vocabulary around what's happened in 368 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: my home state, as well as other states in the Southwest, 369 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: which is it's a reconquista. It's not just that they're 370 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: coming here to benefit from the American economy. They're pretty 371 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: open that what Mexico is doing, particularly the left that's 372 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: run Mexico for the last couple of administrations, they are 373 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: trying to subvert America and actually take back part of 374 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: the United States of America. 375 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: It's really happening. 376 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it sounds like this crazy theory. But let 377 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 4: me just read two brief quotes to you. These are 378 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 4: from senior Mexican government officials. This is from a government 379 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 4: report in December of twenty twenty four by Mexican President Shinbaum, 380 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 4: one of our closest stays. Quote, we already know that 381 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 4: the Mexican pop population in the United State reaches thirty 382 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 4: nine point nine million. We Mexicans are reclaiming our territory. 383 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 4: Or this one from a very powerful senator in Mexico. 384 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 4: He's a member of the Marina Party, the ruling party. 385 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 4: He sits on the very powerful National Defense Committee. This 386 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 4: is what he says, Quote, Mexicans are in our territories California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, 387 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 4: New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming. We're going 388 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 4: to take back the territory that was stolen from US. Now, 389 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: it might be easy to dismiss this as just kind of, 390 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 4: you know, hyperbole by these officials, but they actually do 391 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 4: have an apparatus in the United States that is working 392 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 4: towards this. They have a huge network of consulates in 393 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 4: this country. I was shocked about this alex when I 394 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 4: uncovered it. Great Britain and China have six and seven 395 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 4: consulates in the entire United States. 396 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 2: Mexico has fifty three. And what I. 397 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 4: Expose in the book is that these diplomats that work 398 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 4: of these consulates are not only involved in organizing some 399 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 4: of the violent anti ice protests and other protests taking place, 400 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 4: they're also meddling in our politics. So they are actively 401 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: pursuing this. Whether they actually think that California or New 402 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: Mexico are going to become states of Mexico, that's. 403 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: Not really the issue. 404 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 4: They believe that they are already exerting sovereign control in 405 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 4: the United States, and they're doing so through this network. 406 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 4: And I think there's ample evidence that demonstrates they're correct. 407 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: In saying that, yeah, I agree, and I always fascinated 408 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: with Antonio via Ragosa, who those of you who listening 409 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: in La well familiar to you, who was someone who 410 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: is mayor here of La. He ran the DNC, and 411 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: he was the leader of a chapter of a group 412 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: called Metcha, which their whole mission is to basically give 413 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: back parts of California to the United States. That was 414 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: he led that group, and we elected him to all 415 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: sorts of different things, and he could be the governor 416 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: one day. 417 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well, and even when he was mayor of 418 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 4: Los Angeles, he said that in front of a Mexican 419 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 4: crowd that reconquista, peaceful reconquista was taking place. And you 420 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 4: find also other people on the left are buying into 421 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 4: this mindset because what Reconquista says is that these states 422 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 4: actually really belonged to Mexico because they were part of 423 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: the Aztec Empire, even though that's not actually technically true. 424 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 4: But what they argue is that that means Mexico has 425 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 4: sovereign rights here and that we the federal government in 426 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 4: the United States does not have the authority or the 427 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 4: ability to enforce immigration laws because these people are actually 428 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 4: where they were originally, and that's something that AOC, for example, 429 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 4: has imitated. And what they've also done alex is they've 430 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 4: created this network of elected officials. There are Mexican senators 431 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 4: and Mexican members of the Chambers of Deputies that actually 432 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 4: live in the United States skerve in the Mexican Parliament, 433 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 4: and they are supposed to represent Mexicans living inside the 434 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 4: United States, which is a major invasion of our sovereignty Cuba. 435 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 2: Cuba. 436 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: They're using people like bullets in the United States, flooding 437 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: the country with drugs and bad guys, all while enriching themselves. 438 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: They're decaying our society. This was Castro's mission. How do 439 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: you do on it? 440 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is the Mario boat lift in nineteen 441 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 4: eighty and to me, this is a very interesting and 442 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 4: fascinating example of how this unfolded initially and has inspired 443 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 4: a lot of what we've seen. The Mario boat lift 444 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 4: was viewed by a lot of people as kind of 445 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: this humanitarian gesture where all these people were fleeing Cuba, 446 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 4: and Jimmy Carter said. 447 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: We're going to welcome them with open arms. 448 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: To which Fidel Castro said, well, then we're going to 449 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 4: fill their arms with human xrimage. 450 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: I won't use the word. 451 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 4: That he used, and so he viewed this as a 452 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 4: weapon and it had a massive effect because this not 453 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 4: only led to a lot of violent criminals coming into 454 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: the United States through the Mario boat Lift, it also 455 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 4: led to a lot of intelligence assets, a lot of 456 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 4: political political networks infiltrating the United States. And this was 457 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 4: sort of a test run for what we see taking 458 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 4: place today from a lot of Latin American countries, and 459 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: they look back at the Murio bolt Lift as an 460 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,479 Speaker 4: example of success. Should be noted by the way that 461 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 4: Alex In the early two thousands, the federal government did 462 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 4: a study looking at the Mario boat Lift and they 463 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 4: concluded that it was behind Pearl Harbor and nine to 464 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: eleven it was the third most powerful successful attack against 465 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 4: the United States ever conducted. The difference being we went 466 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 4: after Japan after the bomb Pearl Harbor. We went after 467 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: al Qaeda after they took down the World Trade Center. 468 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 4: The problem with immigration as a weapon and is there's 469 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 4: nobody to attack. And that's the brilliance of this strategy exactly. 470 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about why this stuff was effective in 471 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: the next segment. Peter, and how they've gotten away with 472 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: this for so long. But I got to get to 473 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: China now. And this is the supervillain of the book 474 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: is always is always going to be China in this regard. 475 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: They've exploited the system in such offensive ways. 476 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: Peter, we're training their pilots. Why are we doing that? 477 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: Give us the details. 478 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is an example again of exploiting 479 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 4: our open immigration system and failing to recognize what's going on, 480 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: which is the weaponization of immigration. 481 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: China has a pilot problem. 482 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 4: They need five thousand pilots a year, civilian and military, 483 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 4: roughly twenty five hundred of each. They can only train 484 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 4: twelve hundred and fifty in their own countries. So what 485 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 4: they've done is they have outsourced it and they are 486 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: using student visas to bring pilots to the United States 487 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 4: who are being. 488 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: Given basic flight here. 489 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 4: Once they go back to China, the best pilots will 490 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 4: then get advanced military training, and these will be pilots 491 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 4: that would be God forbid facing our pilots if there 492 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 4: was a conflict against the United States. A clear example 493 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 4: of weaponization of migration and the fact that we allow 494 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 4: this to go on is shocking to me. 495 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: One way that China is subverting our country is with 496 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: birth tourism, which you break down in detail, and we 497 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: are intentionally not tracking birth tourism as a country. Explain 498 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: the concept and are we doing anything to keep an 499 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: eye on it. 500 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, here's the problem with birth tourism. Birth tourism, you know, course, 501 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 4: is this idea that if you are born in the 502 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 4: United States, it doesn't matter if your parents are here illegally, 503 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 4: if they were here on vacation, that you become a 504 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 4: US citizen. And our federal government does not keep track 505 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 4: of these statistics. We have zero idea how many people 506 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: have become US citizens' courtesy of birthright citizenship because we 507 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 4: never list on the birth certificates the nationality of the parents, 508 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 4: so we don't track it well. The Chinese government has 509 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 4: looked at this and they believe that every year for 510 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 4: the past thirteen years, roughly one hundred thousand Chinese nationals 511 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 4: have been born in the United States. They are born here, 512 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 4: they're granted citizenship at birth, They go back to China 513 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 4: where they are raised in the CP system. Their parents 514 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: are members of the elite, the military, the intelligence community, 515 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: the Chinese Communist party. When those citizens and I'm going 516 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: to put that in air quotes, when those US citizens 517 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 4: turn eighteen, they're. 518 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 2: Going to be able to vote, they're going to be. 519 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 4: Able to contribute to political campaigns, they're going to be 520 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 4: able to apply for government jobs. 521 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: So this is a and Peter, you write in the 522 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: book at twenty one, they can start bringing their parents. 523 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. 524 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 4: So it's not just the the roughly million or more 525 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 4: that we exist. 526 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: You're looking at at least two. In addition to that. 527 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 4: And by the way, Alex, there are examples in the 528 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: book that I cite from government reports. There are some 529 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 4: Chinese military officers, senior military officers that don't have one, 530 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 4: they don't have two, they have three children. 531 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: Or you tracked one example where there was over a 532 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: dozen connected to a single CCP connected official, a dozen 533 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: children in the United States. 534 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're using surrogate for this. Yeah, this is the 535 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 2: other issue. 536 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 4: Right, You've got the birthright citizenship, then you've got surrogacy 537 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 4: where effectively Chinese officials rent a womb in the United States, 538 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 4: they find a surrogate mother, they donate the sperm, the 539 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 4: woman becomes pregnant, she's a US citizen, primarily in California. 540 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: She's paid, say, fifty thousand dollars to carry the child. 541 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 4: The child is born here to an American parent in 542 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 4: the United States given birthrights citizenship, then. 543 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: That child is sent back to China. 544 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 4: There's one individual that the Wall Street Journal highlighted just 545 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, one gentleman from China close 546 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 4: to the CCP alex more than one hundred. 547 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: Children born this way US citizens. 548 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: You right that in flight from la to Beijing, the 549 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: first class can look like a nursery because there are 550 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: so many surrogate children who are being flown born in 551 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: the United States, the birthright citizenship, flown in the United States, 552 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: flown to China. They get educated in CCP schools, they 553 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: learn how horrible America is, and when they're twenty one, 554 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: not only can they come back, they can come back 555 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: with their family. Absolutely crazy stuff, unacceptable. The Invisible Coup 556 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: is the book, the biggest book in the world. If 557 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: everyone reads this book, the world will change for the better. 558 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: Peter Schweizer is with me, will be right back. 559 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: Right think. 560 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: It's my terrific team here led by Greg Evan, our 561 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: executive producer, and I'll be the audience for telling ten 562 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: thousand friends of family members about the show. 563 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: Wish we had more hours today. 564 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: Peter Schweizer is with me senior contributor for US at 565 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: bright Bart News and he leads the Invaluable Government Accountability Institute. 566 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: His latest book, The Invisible Coup, number one. 567 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: Book in the world. 568 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: Peter, I want to talk about how all these horrible 569 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: things that you've laid out in the book, the way 570 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: our immigration system is being used as a weapon, weapons 571 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: of mass migration, is what's happening in this country. I 572 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about why this is the case, and 573 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: I want to look at the politics of it. But 574 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: first of all, the sentiment we are, in general America 575 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: a decent people. I think we're giving people. I think 576 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: we're an empathetic people. And I feel like this is 577 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: what's so cynical about this whole thing, is that's what's 578 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: being exploited here, the fact that we want to treat 579 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: people decently, that we know that we're privileged and we 580 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: want to share that with the rest of the world. 581 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: And that's what these bad actors, both for or an 582 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: en domestic, have used against us. 583 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: No, I think you're exactly right. I would add to 584 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: that list. 585 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 4: Also, unfortunately that Americans are often naive when they're dealing 586 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 4: with these foreign actors. I mean, look, I think generally speaking, 587 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 4: I mean people want to see immigration at some level. 588 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: We can debate what that should be. I'm the child 589 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 4: of immigrants, but we have an image that the immigration 590 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 4: taking place now is similar to the immigration of fifty 591 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 4: or one hundred years ago, and it's just not. What 592 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 4: you have is foreign actors like Mexico and China who 593 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 4: are not only manipulating and gaining the system for their 594 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 4: political advantage, you also have domestic political actors who see 595 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 4: the political benefit of mass migration, even though there might 596 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 4: be these terrible additional costs and manipulations by these foreign powers. 597 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 4: This really began in the nineteen nineties the Clinton administration. 598 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 4: In nineteen ninety six, Bill Clinton's up for reelection. They 599 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 4: do so research and they find out that new citizens 600 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 4: at that time are voting eighty five percent for Democrats. 601 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 4: Over the course of time, that shifts, right, the longer 602 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 4: they stay here, the more they become Americanized. That changes 603 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 4: future generations. It becomes more fifty to fifty. But that's 604 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 4: forty years down the road. They come to realize that 605 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 4: new immigrants are voting heavily for Democrats. So what they 606 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 4: do is they start manipulating the citizenship process, and in 607 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 4: nineteen ninety six they basically discard hundreds of thousands of 608 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 4: criminal background checks, They get rid of literacy requirements, they 609 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 4: get rid of language requirements because they want to stuff 610 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 4: through as many new citizens slash voters as possible, and 611 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 4: they succeed, and that has been the Democratic playbook for 612 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 4: the last thirty years. In fact, the three biggest years 613 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 4: for naturalizations of new citizens in the United States where 614 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 4: they ram them through and they ignore criminal background checks, 615 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 4: et cetera, were in nineteen ninety six Bill Clinton's reelection, 616 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 4: twenty twelve Barack Obama's presidential reelection, and twenty twenty four, 617 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 4: which was Joe Biden's attempted re election. So they see 618 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 4: the political benefits of this its short term, and they 619 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: want to ignore purposely the derolatorious, terrible effects that a 620 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 4: lot of this immigration is having in the manipulation that 621 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 4: form powers are engaging. 622 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: In a view of the little Scooplets in the book, 623 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: an asked the immigration Nationalization services knew they were making 624 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: a voter mill for the Clintons, even explosive quote on 625 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: that nothing was done. Obviously it was encouraged by the 626 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: Democrats Alejandromiorcus was trying to eliminate a program to stop 627 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: a visa fraud. He was actually tried to make it 628 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: easier to visa fraud. You highlight how the EB five 629 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: visa program may have been created specifically to funnel money 630 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: to the Clintons, and the Biden administration knew they were 631 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: letting in criminals and were at a minimum did nothing, 632 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: maybe even encouraged it. Peter, this stuff is so revolting 633 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: and horrifying. What is the path back? 634 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 4: Well, I think the path for first is to acknowledge 635 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 4: people to recognize what's going on. This is not random migration, 636 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 4: just driven by economics that has. 637 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 2: A political agenda. 638 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 4: And I think the second thing is that we need 639 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 4: to have serious reform in Washington and that means that 640 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 4: particularly Congress. There are things that Trump administration can do, 641 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 4: but a lot of it's going to require Congressional action, 642 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 4: and they've got to deal with this. Voter fraud is 643 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 4: a big issue everybody's concerned about. We need to be 644 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 4: concerned about citizenship fraud right now. 645 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 2: With a Trump administration, it's not an issue. 646 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 4: But I will guarantee you if a Democrat becomes president again, 647 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 4: one of the first thing they are going to do 648 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 4: is loosen the citizenship requirements, ignore criminal background checks on applicants, 649 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 4: because they want to have these new voters, and we 650 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 4: simply can't allow that to happen in our country anymore. 651 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: Pter Schwicher, your National Treasure, Government Accountability Institute, and Bripe 652 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: our News for all all this stuff, the book is 653 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: the invisible coup.
