They built a big welfare state that has 51 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: started to go a little bit awry, much like the 52 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: one in Sweden. And so we had it was not 53 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 4: really a coincidence that George Floyd unfolded in Minneapolis. That 54 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 4: would not have unfolded the way it did if it 55 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 4: had happened in Atlanta, in Texas. 56 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: In other states. 57 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: It kind of had to happen in Minnesota, and since 58 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 4: then we've been repeatedly going back there, So that's a 59 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 4: little set up. Anyway, this past fall we had that 60 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 4: drama with people, notice the Smali fraud stuff, which has 61 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 4: been going on for years and in fact been getting 62 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: prosecuted and covered for years early on this, but yet 63 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: we were like feeding our future was going on in 64 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 4: twenty one and twenty two, and then you remember when 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 4: we had crimew on and he said, yeah, all these 66 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 4: there's a giant autism scam going on in Minnesota, all 67 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: this fraud, and then lo and behold that was blown up. 68 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: So we had you know, Chris Rufo was covering it. 69 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 4: And then of course Nick Shirley was covering it as well, 70 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: just the realization, huge, huge surge of attention on it 71 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 4: of what fraud is going on. And so then ICE, 72 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: which has been pursuing its immigration activities, they sort of 73 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: seized on this. Oh well, let's let's do a surge 74 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 4: in Minnesota. It's a good symbol of how serious we 75 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: are on finding fraudsters, finding criminals and deporting them. And 76 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 4: so we have the surge there and Bavino, as you said, 77 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: is he's kind of the on the ground symbolic leader 78 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: of them. 79 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: Like the mascot of Border Patrol. Yeah, which is distinct 80 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: from ICE, which is an important distinction. So you know, 81 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: typically Bavino would not be up in Minneapolis, right, so 82 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: he was brought there as a part of this surge 83 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: to oversee it. He is this kind of folk hero 84 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: among a lot of the Border Patrol. We've got some 85 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: images of of Greg Bit total patriot, by the way, 86 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: total patriot. But things have gone awry and there is 87 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: infighting within some of the ranks of ICE Border Patrol. 88 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: Even there's different opinions at the administration. But here's what 89 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: I can tell you is that everybody's committed to the 90 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: president's immigration agenda. That's what I have ascertained. I've been 91 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 3: calling around asking my sources up there. Everybody's committed to it, 92 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: but there is a difference of tactics, of messaging, of presentation. 93 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just funny how symbolic it is, because 94 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 4: I believe he's commander of the border patrol, and so 95 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: it is a little funny that he was there. But 96 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 4: what he was is he had that bravado of oh, 97 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: we're here, We're tough. He's like parading around in public 98 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 4: to show that, frankly, that he's not afraid all the 99 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: ICE people and or the anti ICE protesters, which is 100 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 4: a big deal because people have openly fantasized about wanting 101 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 4: this guy shot. They've openly fantasized I think him. 102 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: I believe, Yeah, his family isn't hiding. 103 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 4: Yes, this guy is a very brave man, and he 104 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: put himself out there for the agenda. But he also, 105 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: as a result, became symbolic of the difficulties that happened 106 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: in Minneapolis, which unfortunately, we've had two shootings, We've had 107 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 4: a lot of chaos in the city, mostly driven by 108 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 4: the left of course. 109 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 3: Well in the New one preddy is I think where 110 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 3: we're getting a lot of this consternation because listen, I 111 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: will defend ICE all day long. As a matter of fact, 112 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: I'm going to continue to because I think they're amazing heroes. 113 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: But there are some ICE agents and Border patrol that 114 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: feel like we need a new approach, a we need 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: to hit the reset button. In Minneapolis. You see Tom Homan, 116 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: who's been on this show many times. We love Tom. 117 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: I think it's a great it's a great move, great 118 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: mix it up. But Bavino has now So there was 119 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: some confusion yesterday Bovino gets relieved of duty. Did he 120 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: get fired? Did he? Did he? Is he transfer? He 121 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 3: had transferred, so he's and then his social media was 122 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: shut down. He was mixing it up on social media 123 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: with some lawmakers who were overreacting. By the way, again, 124 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: I basically agree with everything Bovino was saying. He's absolutely 125 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 3: right to have our ICE agents back, to have border 126 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: patrols back, but some of the details I think were misplaced. 127 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: I think some of the initial reaction was based on 128 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 3: faulty information about the altercation with Pretty and so there's 129 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 3: movement happening, right, but he's not been fired, and essentially 130 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: what happened was Boveno was put on ice for a second. 131 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 3: President Trump put on ice. Yeah, well he was out 132 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: put on. I didn't even mean it. President Trump says, 133 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: this guy's a hero, he's a patriot. He's on the team. 134 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: We're keeping him, keeping him on his post. And so 135 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 3: he's on his post. But Holman's coming in. He's gonna 136 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: he's gonna shake things up. Why I like this, And 137 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: I will tell you Bovino's an actual operator, right, He's 138 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: he's less of the policy wonk guy, less of the 139 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: architect of it, but he is an absolute architect. He's 140 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: a real tough guy. Bavina is a tough guy too. 141 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: But Tom Homan absolute field general. He's in the he's 142 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: now in the field meeting with people in what we've seen, 143 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: and I think I think the internet's got this all wrong. 144 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: A lot of people were saying President Trump blinked. You know, 145 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: he had this call with fry Frye, he had a 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: call with Waltz. What they're doing is a huge, huge deal. 147 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: We are now seeing Minneapolis p D rush in to 148 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: defend federal law enforcement. That's a big change. That's a 149 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: positive change. After the calls with the president. So we're 150 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: seeing movement here, We're seeing a little give and take. 151 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 3: I do not see anybody saying we're not gonna arrest 152 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: all the illegals. Nobody's saying that we're you. You do 153 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: see a little bit of a worse first messaging. Now, 154 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: as long as that's just the messaging, I'm okay with it. 155 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: And Blake, before we came in to the show today, 156 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: you were making I thought, a really amazing point and 157 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: sometimes I wish you guys could see all of our 158 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: our pre show discussion, but you were basically saying competence 159 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: is what matters. It's not even okay message how you're 160 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: going to message, but we need competence and we need 161 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: to stop being as performative for social media. We just 162 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: need to get the job done. Expound on that point 163 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: if you can. Well. 164 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: So, a lot of the drama that's been happening with 165 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: Ice is I think it's downstream of things the administration 166 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: has done to show that they're serious, and we want 167 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 4: them to be serious. But what I think Bovino became 168 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: a symbol of is like performative, performative stuff, and some 169 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 4: of this is stuff I've heard people complain about, like, 170 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 4: for lack of a better term, some stuff they'll do. 171 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: It's almost like it's intended to look a little cruel 172 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: or callous. And I think it is important to be serious, 173 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: like dead serious. And it's obviously great when they're saying, Oh, 174 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 4: this person we arrested was a rapist, this person we 175 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: arrested was a criminal. You definitely communicate that seriousness, but 176 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 4: sometimes it does go a little bit beyond that, and 177 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 4: that's what ends up like bothering a lot of people. Now, 178 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 4: you can't allow those people to say, oh, so we're 179 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 4: going to suspend deportations. 180 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: Now, oh we're gonna pull iceback. 181 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 4: Oh, deportations are canceled because this made me feel better. 182 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: You don't give in on that point. But you do 183 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 4: have to be smart about things. And I think totally 184 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: the way Trump is President Trump is reacting to this 185 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: is telling because I think some people really wanted to 186 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 4: do a bigger pullback. I think some people probably wanted 187 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: Greg Lavino to just be fired and cast. 188 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: Aside, say this whole thing was bad. 189 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: And I think the president's instincts are, no, we can 190 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: swap out personnel, but if I start firing people or 191 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 4: really signaling a pullback. It's going to shoot, it's going 192 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: to set off this cascade of weakness, whereas with sending 193 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 4: in Tom Holman. Tom Holman is a longtime professional. He's 194 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: pretty good at the more. He's pretty good at disciplined 195 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 4: messaging on this, and I think he can say we'll 196 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: have Homan running this operation, and he can communicate what 197 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 4: our agenda is, that we're focused, that you know, most 198 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: of the people were getting our criminals. That he could 199 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: sort of reset the tone of what's going on without 200 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: pulling back two decisives. Right, we need to talk about 201 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 4: Second Amendment because this is a thing. It was bubbling 202 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: up yesterday and we didn't really touch it too much, 203 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 4: but we want to hit it harder today. It's been 204 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 4: going back and forth. There's been we're sort of seeing 205 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 4: a reversal of form typically because for years it was 206 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 4: you'd have the right would sometimes bring guns to protests, 207 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: and obviously there was a lot of hysterics in the 208 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: left is pushing hard for gun control. It's been a 209 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 4: little different in Minnesota because some of these Antifa people 210 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 4: are just some of the anti ice people in general 211 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 4: have been armed, and of course Alex Preddy was armed 212 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: as well, and that seems to have unfortunately caused his death. 213 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 4: And so there's been a few lines that have been used. 214 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 4: One of them was from FBI Director Cash Mattel. He 215 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: said this on Sunday. We'll use that as set up. 216 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 4: Let's play clip to eighty one. 217 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: As Christy said, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with 218 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: multiple magazines to any sort of protests that you want it. 219 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: That's simple. You don't have that right to break the 220 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: law and incite violence. 221 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 4: And similarly, DHS Secretary of Christina she also said on Saturday, 222 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 4: I don't know if any peaceful protester who shows up 223 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 4: with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign, And 224 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: there was some context to that, but she was basically, 225 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: you know, that's what gets clipped. And we've seen that 226 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 4: a few different times from a few different people. 227 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 3: And first of. 228 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: All, we have to warn everyone that no, you actually 229 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: you do have the right to bring a gun to 230 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: a protest. Many conservatives have done that, and it would 231 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 4: be a huge mistake if we suddenly reversed course on that, 232 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 4: because the left would be overjoyed to team up with 233 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 4: us to say, oh, you actually can't bring guns to 234 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 4: protests and then we would permanently forfeit a Second Amendment 235 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 4: right over a temporary issue. But we do have to 236 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 4: make sure our messaging on this is good, it is correct, 237 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 4: and what some people have emailed us in some people 238 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: have commented, they've said, oh, well, you know you're For example, 239 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 4: they've said you're legally required to tell an officer if 240 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: you're armed or all of that, You're actually not. 241 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 3: I looked this up. 242 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: In Minnesota, you're required to tell an officer if they ask, 243 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 4: and that is the most common law in most of 244 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: the US is if a police officer asks whether you 245 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 4: have a weapon, you have to tell them. But only 246 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: in a few are you affirmatively required to just disclose 247 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 4: this information if interacting with an officer. But what our 248 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 4: messaging should instead, I think need to be is this 249 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,119 Speaker 4: is basically actually about gun safety, like responsible gun ownership, 250 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: and if you take a firearms class, they're basically going 251 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 4: to tell you can't have ego while carrying a gun. 252 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: This is a dangerous item and you have to use 253 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: it responsibly. You are carrying something that if you screw up, 254 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 4: it can get you killed, it can get other people killed. 255 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 4: And that's really The tragedy of what happened over the 256 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 4: weekend in this Ice shooting is that he was getting 257 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 4: in he'd gone to a protest, and then not only that, 258 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 4: ended up in a situation where bad stuff could happen. 259 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 4: And if you're carrying a gun around a bunch of officers 260 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 4: while people are blowing whistles and people are getting shoved, 261 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 4: people are getting dragged around, everyone's getting screamed at. The 262 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 4: officers themselves are worried someone is going to pull a 263 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 4: gun and attack them, and you're carrying a gun and 264 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: approaching them, it has to enter your thought. There are 265 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 4: a lot of ways that this could go wrong. 266 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I just want to make one thing clear. 267 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: I completely agree with every point you just made. Preddy 268 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: was not at a protest. There was no protest when 269 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: he was shot. The protests arrived after he was shot. 270 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: He was involved in an organized direct action to impede 271 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 3: federal law enforcement. So let's just get that very very clear. 272 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 3: Do I think this was a good shooting candidly, like 273 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: you know, probably not okay. But to Blake's point, when 274 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: you take a firearm into public, you are taking a responsibility. 275 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: I made this point yesterday. This is why if you 276 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: have a firearm in your car and you get pulled over, 277 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 3: you turn the car off, you take the keys, you 278 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 3: put them on the dash hands at ten to where 279 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: they can see them. The officer approaches your window and 280 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: you say, officer, I have a firearm in this vehicle, 281 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: and the officer goes instantly knows he's working with a 282 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: responsible individual. Okay, when you. 283 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 4: Don't do this because you're legally required to do this, 284 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 4: you do this because you're not a moron and you 285 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: don't want to die, and you don't want anyone else 286 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 4: do You. 287 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: Don't want the cop freaking out. People have to understand something. 288 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: Law enforcement are involved in very risky operations. They are 289 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: pulling over and abduct apprehending traffickers, drug traffickers, cartel members. 290 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: These are some of these are homicie literally been convicted 291 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: of homicide. These are high risk, high tension situations. And 292 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: then they got all these yahoos going around them with 293 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: bells and or ring, blowing uh whistles, shouting profanity, spitting 294 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: at them, throwing ice blocks at them, and they're supposed 295 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: to do their job as if they're cool, calm and 296 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 3: collecting cools. A cu comper. You are expecting too much. 297 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: So when you go there and you nitpick about the 298 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: way that they do things, listen, I got news for you. 299 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: You put yourself into a position where you have to 300 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 3: go arrest bad guys and see how well you perform 301 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: under under fire. Okay, when the tension is high, bad 302 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: things happen. The dumbest thing you can then do is 303 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: be like pretty and go into that situation make it 304 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: even more difficult. Throw out this image of Kyle Rittenhouse. 305 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 3: Are these are the comparisons that are happening. They're saying, 306 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 3: Kyle Rittenhouse carrying in public. There is this image of 307 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: him approaching law enforcement, hands up. Do you see that 308 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: he's approaching law enforcement. He's putting his hands where the 309 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 3: police officers can see them, saying, I'm not a threat 310 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: to you, officers, I need your help. I'm not a 311 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: threat because he was coming in respect, because he was 312 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: not their enemy. Pretty unfortunately, I wish he was alive today, 313 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: But he unfortunately was coming at law enforcement and resisting them, 314 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: trying to impede them, signaling that he wasn't their enemy, 315 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: that he was against their actions, and bad things happen. Okay, 316 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 3: this is very very simple. When you are a firearm owner, 317 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: and if you take that into public, the responsibility is 318 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: on you to make sure law enforcement knows that you 319 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: are not a threat to their lives. They want to 320 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: go home to their families too, Hey, everybody.

He's out on the road. Uh, Chip, 345 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: thank you so much for coming on. Congressman. 346 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, great to be on with you. Guys. Really appreciate 347 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 2: it here. 348 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, thank you so much. So. I saw this 349 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 3: stat last night. I texted you about it. It's it's 350 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 3: remarkable and I want you to kind of just like 351 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: a brass tax it for us, for the audience and 352 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: help help everybody understand what's different about Texas versus Minnesota. 353 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 3: Texas accounts for twenty five percent approximately of the deportations 354 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: under Trump, and I would say about zero percent of 355 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 3: the drama Minnesota accounts for two percent of the deportations 356 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 3: and currently about one hundred percent of the drama. Explain it, like, 357 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 3: I'm five, Why are there? Why is there such a 358 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 3: huge difference between Minnesota and Texas. 359 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 5: Well, it's a great question. I think it goes to 360 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 5: the heart of what we're seeing unfold in Minneapolis, and 361 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 5: I think the bigger picture that we all need to 362 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 5: focus on, which I'll get to in a minute, right, 363 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 5: which is why we need to stay the course. But 364 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 5: we'll get there in a second. To answer your question, 365 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 5: the easy answer that the left will thrown at us, 366 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 5: right is that, oh, well, you've got so many more 367 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 5: people here who are here illegally. Well, that's true, But 368 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 5: if you look at the data more closely, what you'll 369 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 5: find is is that even as a percentage of the 370 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 5: total illegal population, Texas is still doing a far better job. 371 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 5: And the reason why is because, as a general rule, 372 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 5: not perfectly, but as a general rule, our state leadership, 373 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 5: our state law enforcement, and a good number of our 374 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 5: local law enforcement are working in cooperation with ICE in 375 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 5: what we'd call two eighty seven g agreements or generally 376 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 5: so that we're working to say, hey, we've got somebody 377 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 5: locked up, or we've got somebody who we suspect us 378 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 5: here legally or under orders of removal by a judge, 379 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 5: then we're going to work with ICE, put them in 380 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 5: the process and get them out. Minnesota, Minneapolis Governor Waltz, 381 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 5: the mayor of Minneapolis, and the people in the leadership there, 382 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: they're resisting that they're not working with ICE, and by 383 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 5: the way, they're trying to say they are, and they're saying, oh, well, 384 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 5: anytime we've got somebody in our prison, we hand them over. Well, 385 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 5: that's true for a very small subset of the people 386 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 5: who have served their sentences in prison, but not the 387 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 5: vast number of people who've been arrested or who are 388 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 5: in local jails. So that's the difference. Texas can do better. 389 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 5: To be clear, we should be even more aggressive. There 390 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 5: are some jurisdictions who are not doing all they can do, 391 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 5: but we're doing a lot better. 392 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: And you don't see the drama. 393 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 3: To use your words, Yeah, this is a key point 394 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 3: that you just made, Congressman about this Tim Waltz statement. 395 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 3: He's trying. So President Trump tim Waltz have a call yesterday. 396 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: They both said it was productive. I will say we 397 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 3: are now seeing Minneapolis Police department actually work to block them, 398 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: really work. Well, they were exactly, So it's a it's 399 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 3: actually a admission of guilt that they were not protecting 400 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 3: federal law enforcement. But at least they seem to be 401 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: doing that right now. To be clear, I think there 402 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 3: should be consequences for the previous inaction. So Tim Waltz 403 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: says that he coordinates. But as you made an important 404 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 3: note there, that's only a small subset. So Bill mlusion 405 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: comes in. He says, this is very misleading from Waltz. Yes, 406 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: his prisons honor ice detainers by transferring convicted criminal ailen 407 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 3: so not those with the detention request or those under investigation, 408 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 3: but after they serve their sentence, but his city and 409 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 3: county jails do not. I'm told that that is by 410 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: far the lion's share, maybe eighty percent of the criminal 411 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 3: population criminal legal population in the state of Minnesota. And 412 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 3: that doesn't even get to the fact of, you know, 413 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: unraveling some of the Somali fraud. So explain that again 414 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 3: in a Texas context, because you guys have crappy cities 415 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 3: in Texas too, no offense. You got Austin, you got Houston, Dallas, cannot. 416 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: I can only imagine those cities are not as cooperative 417 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 3: as they should be. What powers does Governor Abbott, for example, 418 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 3: have that. Governor Tim Walt says one final point here, Congressman. 419 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 3: In Florida, in twenty twenty two, they passed a law 420 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 3: that gives Governor DeSantis complete authority to mandate cooperation with ICE. 421 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 3: Is that the way it is in Texas? 422 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, the state legislature they enacted reforms I think 423 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 5: in the last two legislative sessions, particularly the last one, 424 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 5: that gives far great authority for the state government to 425 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 5: be able to withhold funds and to be able to 426 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 5: put pressure on the local jurisdictions that they refuse to 427 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 5: follow the law and if they are sanctuary cities. Right, 428 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 5: and so that is an important and key element that 429 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 5: the state is taking into its leadership and something I 430 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 5: think we need to go even further with. By the way, 431 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 5: I think separate issue not involved in this time, dealing 432 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 5: with all of the criminals being let out on the 433 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 5: streets by Soros funded DA's, the wide open borders, the 434 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 5: ridiculousness of the Islamification of Texas, epic city. We can 435 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 5: have another podcast all about those things, But we've got 436 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 5: to be more aggressive to say that in the state 437 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 5: of Texas, re enforce the law that the state's capital 438 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 5: should not be a lawless area that's a sanctuary city, 439 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 5: Nor should Doallas, nor should Houston. So we've done a 440 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 5: lot of that. We can probably go even further, but 441 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 5: I think we're in a place where we're in a 442 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 5: better posture now. If I'm being real and objective, I 443 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 5: would tell you that when I talked to boots on 444 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 5: the ground, people who are expert on this, we are 445 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 5: not doing as well as we could do to have 446 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 5: full throated engagement with our two eighty seven g agreements, 447 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 5: whether they're in big cities or even some of our 448 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 5: smaller towns and counties. We need to be more active, 449 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 5: more aggressive to make sure that that is happening, so 450 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 5: that we can remove people in the state of Texas 451 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 5: so better in Texas, much better than Minnesota. But that's 452 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 5: not the bar, right. The bar should be follow the law. 453 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 5: And there are one and a half million people right 454 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 5: now under orders of removal by judges, and people forget that. 455 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 5: They go, oh, you're just rounding people up. Hold on, 456 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 5: there are dangerous criminals that, yes, we're rounding up, but 457 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 5: one point five million people are under an order of 458 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: removal by a judge. We should go exercise that. And 459 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 5: that is what his ICE is doing. And one final point, 460 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 5: sorry for the filibuster. Tom Homan is doing an excellent job. 461 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: I trust Tom former head of ICE, good friend. The 462 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 5: President did a great thing by putting him on the 463 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: ground and saying Tom, go get this done the right way. 464 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 5: I think he will do it the right way. 465 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 3: So Congressman, I agree. I think Tom's a national treasure 466 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 3: and we need to wrap him in a bubble wrap 467 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: and keep them safe up there. I will just say, though, 468 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: I mean talking to people in the administration. There's a 469 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 3: big divide right now, both on messaging and tactics. Right. 470 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 3: You see this, even Sean Hannity, I've just before we 471 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 3: got on with you, I saw this clip from him 472 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 3: saying we don't need to be rounding people up at 473 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: home depots. In the admin. There is a two lines 474 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: of thought, the worst first or get them all right. 475 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: So what is your take on that? How do you 476 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 3: think we should proceed from a messaging standpoint. I get 477 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 3: that there is a flare up here, but if we 478 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: don't squash it right Now, come the summer months, it's 479 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: going to be worse in Portland, in Chicago, New York, 480 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 3: and Los Angeles. I think we need to move in 481 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 3: with heavy force, but I'm open to being wrong. What 482 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 3: is your take on that, Well. 483 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 5: Let me answer that question after I make an observation 484 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: first at a higher level. We can't win a war 485 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 5: that we do not acknowledge exists. Yeah, this is not 486 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 5: an immigration issue like it was for our parents' generation 487 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 5: or anything else in the eighties or even twenty years 488 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: ago into see thousands. This is not some people in 489 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 5: Mexico who want to come over and do some work 490 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 5: and head back to Mexico peaceably. This is an organized 491 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 5: effort to destroy America. Now, I want that to sit 492 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 5: out there for a second because and I don't do 493 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 5: this very often. I don't like the people who play 494 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 5: the I had this conversation with Charlie, and I did 495 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 5: this thing with Charlie and whatever, and I get it, 496 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 5: and Charlie spoke to so many people and affected so 497 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 5: many people. But it is true. And on my phone, 498 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 5: which I've never shared, the screenshots, the last substance of 499 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 5: conversation I had with Charlie was about the Islamification of 500 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 5: the West, the Islamification of Texas, Islamification of America, and 501 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 5: why that is the most important singular issue and our 502 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 5: side doesn't get it. 503 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: So now take that issue. Put it here. 504 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 5: Now take the fact that you've got Marxists who want 505 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 5: to take our guns away, they want to take our 506 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 5: frankly freedom of religion. Way you saw what they did 507 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 5: in Saint Paul. They don't care, you know, they want 508 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 5: to totally undermine our Western civilization. You've got that going on. 509 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 5: You've got all of the funding and all of the 510 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 5: dollars flowing from foreign sources. George Soros Arabella that you 511 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 5: got the rent collected, putting in criminals on the streets. 512 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 5: There's all these things. If you did a big white board, 513 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 5: you can map it all out. It's organized to undermine 514 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 5: our way of life. If you like Christmas, if you 515 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 5: like safety and security, if you like English as a 516 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 5: national language, if you like our core culture and our 517 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 5: welcoming and immigrants who assimilate. 518 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: But you don't want to have immigrants. 519 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 5: Come here to change our country, if you don't want 520 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 5: to be Islamified, if you don't want to have your 521 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 5: guns taken away. Okay, if you don't want to have 522 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 5: censorship about anything you think or say, if you want 523 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 5: to live in a state like Europe, that's what's coming. 524 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: Now. 525 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 5: Having said all that, if you don't recognize that's the war, 526 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 5: then you go back to these tired old phrases Chamber 527 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 5: of Commerce Republicans kick around where they go, oh, well, 528 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 5: you know, we just got to make sure we're welcoming 529 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 5: and we open the door and we do this, and guys, 530 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 5: this is a totally different battle scape. So to answer 531 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 5: your specific question, I do think there's a little bit 532 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 5: of tension going on. They are friends of mine in 533 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 5: the administration, and I'm not going to go too far 534 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 5: into it because it's their job to go lead on this. 535 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 5: But what I'm conveying to them, and what I'm conveying 536 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 5: publicly is know what time it is in America. Lead now, 537 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 5: kill this right now before it starts. And you can 538 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 5: be like Tom, who is saying, I think you asked 539 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 5: you a question. Is it get rid of the first 540 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 5: or get rid of everybody? That's my phrasing, not yours. 541 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 5: I would say you can do both. Let's target the 542 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 5: worst actors. Yes, let's go get them, go zero in 543 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 5: on those folks. Let's go zero in on the focus with 544 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 5: orders of removal. But when you find somebody here who's 545 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 5: been here illegally for years and they've stole sold the 546 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 5: security numbers, and they've undermined the system and destroyed the 547 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 5: rule of law, and they've filled up our schools and 548 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 5: our jails and birthright citizenship, that all has a cost, 549 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 5: and we've got to manage that, and we've got to 550 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 5: deal with it. You can't pick winners and losers. You've 551 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 5: got to enforce the law. That's my two centens. 552 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: Man. I'm I think we could do both. We absolutely 553 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: can do. Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to 554 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 3: tell you about my friends over at why Refi.

If 557 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 3: you or someone you know is struggling with private student 558 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 3: loan debt, take my advice and give them a call. 559 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: Maybe you're behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default. 560 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 3: You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why 561 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: ref I will provide you a custom payment based on 562 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 3: your ability to pay. They tailor each loan individually.

We go to campuses all over America 565 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: and we see student after student who's drowning in private 566 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: student loan debt. Many of them don't even know how 567 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: much they owe. Why ref I can help. Just go 568 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 3: to y refi dot com.

Just go to why dot com 571 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 3: and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. So. I 572 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 3: think this Islamification of the West, and you hit on 573 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 3: it beautifully. This was one of Charlie's drum beats in 574 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 3: the in the final months of his life, and we 575 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 3: have to stay focused on it. I know Steve Bannon 576 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 3: in the war room were just in Texas calling out 577 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 3: this very issue. I want to know what it's actually 578 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: like on the ground. You know, Epic City was a huge, 579 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 3: huge story, and I think we I think people really 580 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: don't fully understand or graphs the extent of that. But 581 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: we're you know, you see this huge in Minneapolis. I mean, 582 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 3: this is a this is what we've all lost our 583 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: focus on. This was about Somali fraud and now, and 584 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 3: that's why the surge happened. That's why this big blow 585 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 3: up in Minneapolis is even underway now. Congressman, this is 586 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 3: uh Wall Street Journal opinion this morning. Time for Ice 587 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: to pause in Minneapolis. This is a real opinion section 588 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: article by the editor board at the Wall Street Journal. 589 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 3: And my reaction to that is the twenty fifteen GOP 590 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: is apparently alive and well in certain corners of the 591 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: of the I guess conservative world. I don't even know 592 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 3: if I consider that. Blake and I were talking before, 593 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 3: and it's like if you if you are even on that 594 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 3: side of the fence on this, you're you're basically liberal 595 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 3: to me at this point. I mean, what you said, 596 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 3: we've got to get them all either care. Do you 597 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: either want people deported or you don't. You either want 598 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 3: the rule of law every single time. 599 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 4: There you're trying to do it, and your reaction is, oh, 600 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: we got to stop this, Like you're just a lib. 601 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 3: It's kind of where I'm at. I've seen many stats. 602 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: I don't know which ones are true, but there's like, 603 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 3: you know, forty new mosques a month or something. You know, 604 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 3: like there's all and it. It is terrifying because if 605 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 3: we lose Texas, and I would say, Texas seems to 606 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 3: me like it has an anemic conservatism. You know, it 607 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 3: feels anemic. It's not as like strong and robust and 608 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 3: full throated as you would you would expect out of Texas. 609 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what that is, but it's seems like 610 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: there's a lot of rhinos in the ranks. Seems like 611 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 3: there's a lot of turncoats in the ranks. Explain the 612 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: truth about the Islamification of Texas. Epic City, the flora 613 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 3: is yours. 614 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it. 615 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, yeah, Texas needs to be 616 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 5: much more aggressive than we've been. We've not been as 617 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 5: conservative of a state as we should have been. Our 618 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 5: legislature has been a huge problem. It's trending in the 619 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 5: right direction, but not fast enough. We need to be 620 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 5: much more aggressive on key issues, including mort security, immigration. 621 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 5: In these lamifications of Texas, the Islamification issue is very real. 622 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 5: There are just to give you some anecdotes, there are 623 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 5: women that I talk to in the Dallas Fort Worth 624 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 5: metroplex who tell me that there are now increasingly no 625 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 5: go zones in places you wouldn't think. We're talking areas 626 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 5: in and around Richardson and Plano and north of Dallas. 627 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 5: We're talking about the Arlington area out there between Fort 628 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 5: Worth and Dallas, where the Cowboys and the Rangers play, 629 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 5: right and there are places where there are women who 630 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 5: go I don't feel safe going there because it's predominantly 631 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 5: Muslim and the natural sort of things occur that make 632 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 5: them uncomfortable. And so now you've got epic city, which 633 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 5: has garnered national attention. This multi hundred acre compound now 634 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 5: rebranding is quote the Meadows. You've got an Islamic center 635 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 5: in Houston, which is a massive facility being built, but 636 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 5: people don't talk about the other things. Right now, north 637 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,479 Speaker 5: of Austin, I'm pointing because I'm just south of Austin 638 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 5: now on the north side of Austin, there's a new 639 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 5: facility going in at the University of Texas. There is 640 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 5: a significant building getting built to be an Islamic center 641 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 5: on campus in West Campus at the University of Texas. 642 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 5: There are three hundred mosques in Tech, three hundred mosques 643 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 5: in Texas, and there's more mosque getting built in Texas 644 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 5: every single day than any other state in the Union. 645 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 5: I don't know the exact number to answer your question, 646 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 5: but it's a lot more in Texas than any other state. 647 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 5: This is a product of business driven immigration policy. So 648 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 5: let's go back to the Wall Street Journal. I've got 649 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 5: friends in the Wall Street Journal that I work with 650 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 5: on healthcare and other issues that we're in agreement on, 651 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 5: but on the issue of immigration, they have been wrong 652 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 5: over and over and over again. Alongside the Chamber of 653 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 5: Commerce promoting H one B visas, promoting wide open borders, 654 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 5: promoting we need to import talent instead of standing for 655 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 5: what we need to do to make and put America first. 656 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 5: The President is right, that is at the core of 657 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 5: his brand. The administration needs to stay the course, push 658 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 5: back on these business interests and say, look, let's make 659 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 5: sure we've got Americans trained to do the job. 660 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 2: We don't need all these H one. 661 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 5: B's that are frankly fronts for pumping people into our 662 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 5: country or even leaving them overseas while they're able to 663 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 5: work here in houses that aren't even filled. And by 664 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 5: the way, birthright citizenship. We need to fix it. President 665 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,239 Speaker 5: right is right on this. We need to codify it. 666 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 5: We need to stop this cottage industry, where the Chinese 667 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 5: have maybe allegedly up to a million people living in 668 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 5: China who have American citizenship. 669 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the right number or not. 670 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 5: I don't like to pedal random numbers, but that's been 671 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 5: pushed out there in allege. So I've got my staff 672 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 5: looking to find how many is it. It's absurd what 673 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 5: we've done to sovereignty. Serve what we've done to our country. 674 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 5: You either believe in American sovereignty or you don't. One 675 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 5: final point, there are fifty one million, four in born 676 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 5: people in the United States. That's sixteen and a half 677 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 5: percent or so of the population. That's the highest percentage 678 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 5: we've had in our history. That is greater than it 679 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 5: was in nineteen twenty after the massive immigration, and we 680 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 5: shut down for four forty years, four decades, maybe even five. 681 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 5: That's why I introduced legislation to pause immigration. We need 682 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 5: to have a real conversation about this. But my biggest 683 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 5: messages to the administration stay the course, keep doing it, 684 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 5: stand up for America, and put America first. 685 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 3: Man Amen, Congressman, I'm I got zero notes. I am 686 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 3: absolutely in favor of an immigration moratorium. You can make 687 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 3: it a net zero I mean, there's about two or 688 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 3: three hundred thousand people that leave the country every year. 689 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 3: If you want to replace them with good people, I'm 690 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 3: open minded to that. But a net zero immigration moratorium 691 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 3: or just shut it all the way up, I'd be 692 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 3: good with that too. I mean, I was at Costco 693 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 3: this weekend. I had to got new tires on my car, 694 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 3: a good deal, right, So I go there and I'm 695 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 3: wandering around. It did not feel like America to me. 696 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 3: It didn't. It just didn't. It was I mean, I 697 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 3: hate that's not guys. 698 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 2: That's Look. 699 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 5: If I walk into BUCkies off this I thirty five 700 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 5: in Texas, why to Quintessential Texas Place or Costco? Like 701 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 5: you say, it does not feel like America. There's I 702 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 5: want to be very clear here. We're talking about people 703 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 5: are welcome to come here, but you have to assimilate, 704 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 5: right and and and that's not what's happening here. People 705 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 5: are coming here trying to replace America, trying to push 706 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 5: Islamification on America, waving foreign country flags. 707 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: That is not the way this works. They need to 708 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 2: be removed well. 709 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 3: And I mean there's whole neighborhoods. I was just talking 710 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 3: to another friend in Texas Congressman, and you know, they 711 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 3: said they had to move out of their Dallas suburbs 712 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 3: because they felt uncomfortable there. And it was it was 713 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 3: basically been completely replaced by Indian immigrants in this instance. 714 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 3: And listen the H one B scam. I know that 715 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 3: the administration that is a statute you guys need to 716 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 3: codify any changes in the H one B program. But 717 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 3: they're slow walking it. I can tell you that. I 718 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 3: mean there's now you're looking if you're trying to get 719 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 3: H one b's. I mean, this thing's are delayed like 720 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 3: a year and a half right now, two years. So 721 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 3: I hope they keep pushing those things, kicking the can. 722 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 3: But there's only so much they can do, right. You 723 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 3: got to follow the lot at some point, So I 724 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 3: hope that lot changes. Last minute here Congressman Chuck Schumer 725 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 3: said he's going to we're you know, he's threatening another 726 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 3: government shutdown over DHS Fundy. What can you tell us 727 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 3: from the House perspective, And do you think we're going 728 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 3: to see a shutdown? 729 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 5: Well, they're certainly rattling about a shutdown. I don't think 730 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 5: the administration wants a shutdown Let's remember that if they 731 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 5: don't fund the Homeland Security, that means they're not going 732 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 5: to fund the Department of War, They're not going to 733 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 5: fund labor HS, they're not going to fund transportation. That 734 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 5: leaves the FAA unfunded, That leaves the TSA unfunded. Right, 735 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 5: so there are gonna be a lot of issues. I 736 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 5: think we should call their bluff. We worked a deal. 737 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 5: By the way, it was a bill that I didn't love, 738 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 5: but I voted for homeland security, so I can stand 739 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 5: with ice and border patrol, even though there were things 740 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 5: in it and I didn't like, like cists and other stuff. 741 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 5: But bottom line is the freedom Coronctress is sending a 742 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 5: letter today. It will go out in the next hour 743 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 5: or two. That is basically saying guys, no, you're not 744 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 5: gonna send us ability. You're not splitting off homeland security. 745 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,479 Speaker 5: We support the president, we support Tomhoeman. We should stay 746 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 5: the course. We trust them to get it done right. 747 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, if you want 748 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 5: to fix it, then we're gonna If you're gonna block it, 749 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 5: we're gonna fix it by finding a way to fund 750 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 5: things using reconciliation, like we did last summer. Or uh, 751 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 5: you know, finding a way to stop the fake filibuster, 752 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 5: the sixth threshold, force a talking billibuster. 753 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 2: I love that's our position, but we'll have to fight 754 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 2: for it. 755 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 3: Hold the line, Congressman, don't let them blink. We got 756 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 3: your back.
