1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: All eyes on ICE, all eyes on Minneapolis and Portland, 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: where you've got shooting between ICE agents and other people, 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: but who the other people are has really been questioned 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: by the media. The Left is lying about who this person, 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: Renee Good was, who was in Minneapolis and drove her 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: vehicle into an ICE agent who ended up shooting her 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: and taking her life. Another shooting happened in Portland, Oregon. 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Turns out trend Diarragua that violent gang from Venezuela might 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: have been involved. Because all that is going on, I 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: wanted to get with somebody who really knows what's happening. 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: He's the border representative here in Texas. He's got the 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: largest border district in the entire country. It's Jewish representative 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, also a former sailor. He was a Navy 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: man who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He's got great 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: insight from border patrol agents, from ICE agents as to 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: what's going on. And I do show him. He never 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: saw it before, the actual camera shot shot by the 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: ICE agent who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. Tony hadn't 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: seen it before. You'll see him react. Keep it right here, 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: unshaken and unafraid with Joe Pegs, but we've got to 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: really hone in on what the hell happened in Minneapolis, 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: Minnesota yesterday. The way the media has spun this, and 23 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: Jade Vance called them out on this yesterday, is this 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: is a thirty seven year old mother, wife, award winning poet, 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: just minding your own business and was executed by Ice. 26 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: You and I both know that, But by the first 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: couple of angles we saw that wasn't what happened at all. 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: This woman was actually interfering and obstructing all day. She 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: parked her SUV sideways to block a road. She was 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: antagonizing the ICE agents, which you can do. You don't 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: get to shoot somebody over that. But then at one 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: point we see it very clearly she puts the car 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: in reverse. When she's told to get out, she puts 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: it in drive, drives right at an agent who then 35 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: pulls his gun and shoots her. Tony when you see 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: something like that and you're hearing a narrative that is 37 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: so completely the antithesis of what our eyes are telling 38 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: us in those videos, what do you think. 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: I think the left wants a certain truth and then 40 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: there's real truth and when you. Once again, I'm glad 41 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: that there's video and I look forward to you know, 42 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: if there's anybody camera or there's any other videos out there. 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: It just tells the truth and allows the American people 44 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: not to have some media spin it one way or another. 45 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: The fact is, when you use a vehicle as a weapon, 46 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: that's an act of terrorism. We saw that in New Orleans. 47 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: Think about New Orleans, what that terrorist did. And we've 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 2: seen that throughout the country across the world. So when 49 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: someone does that, of course an agent has every right 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: to defend themselves. And once again, this isn't the first time. 51 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: This is sadly, this is happening more and more, and 52 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: the Left is is they're encouraging people to do this. 53 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, Tony, I gotta tell you, well, first 54 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: of all, there is video out there. What I'm gonna 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: do is I'm gonna play it during this interview so 56 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: you can see it. But there's the F word, so 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: those who are listening on the radio, it's going to 58 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: be edited later so I can take the F word out. 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: But I think this is really important. I put out 60 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: a video that shows exactly what went down, actually who 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: this person was. As Renee good. She was in a 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: group called ice Watch that I want to talk to 63 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: you about coming up, but I want to show you 64 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: this video. I think you'll be able to see it 65 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: because in context, it's important that you know exactly what 66 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: the view of the officer was. I want to make sure, Tony, 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: can you see what I'm showing you? 68 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: Okay? Good, good, good, That's fine. I'm not okay. We 69 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: don't change our plates every morning, just so you know, 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: it don't be the same plate when you come talk 71 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: to us later. That's fine. You have said that's important. 72 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: You want to come at us, you want to come 73 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: at us, I say, go get yourself some lunch, big boy. 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: This is the wife watching that, Tony. Is there any 75 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: doubt the officer was hit because people are claiming he 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: wasn't hit. 77 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: No, there's no doubt that not only was he hit, 78 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: but she looked as if, you know, she intentionally tried 79 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: to run him over. Right. So that's the three that 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: our agents have day in and day out. And once again, 81 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: it's important for the American people to have the facts 82 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: and to take that into consideration. And look, I served 83 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: twenty years in the military. To have people protest whatever 84 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: they want to protest. That's not what's occurring. You're having 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: people in sight riots and cause damage and hurt individuals 86 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: and guess what, they're putting their own lives at risk. 87 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: All of that needs to stop. 88 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: They had a moment of silence for this woman last 89 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: night at the Minnesota Timberwolves game. I mean, there's a 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: complete lack of understanding of reality or Tony. There's a 91 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: purposeful mission by the Left that they're kind of quietly 92 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: glad this happened. Now they can vilify ICE even further. 93 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm not happy a thirty seven year old woman's dead. 94 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: I'm not happy that she that she put herself in 95 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: the position. I'm not happy that this agent, who had 96 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: been severely injured six months ago was put in that position. 97 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: It shouldn't have happened. There shouldn't be something called Ice 98 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Watch where you follow these people around. And again, she 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: was a member of Ice Watch. Their job in their 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: minds are to follow ICE agents around and antagonize them 101 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: all day. But again, by seeing the first angle, which 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: I was, I wasn't sure he got hit. The second angle, 103 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: it's clear he gets hit in the leg or the 104 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: or the midsection from behind the trees, this angle from 105 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: his perspective shows him being hit unless he's an actor, 106 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Tony and says, let me pretend I'm being hit and 107 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: shoot an innocent person. That seems to be self defense, 108 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: doesn't it. 109 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: It looks that way. And I'm waiting for all the details, 110 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: all the details to get shaken out and they have 111 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: a full, full investigation and to see that. But what 112 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: I see is this needs to end. And these radical 113 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: leftist activists they're going out, they needed, they needed to 114 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: disperse because all they're doing is causing danger to themselves 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: and dangers to others. We're a nation of laws, and 116 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: our laws need to be followed. Thankfully, in Texas we 117 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: don't have the same issues as some of these other 118 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: places do. But it doesn't matter. American citizens need to 119 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: be safe, and our agents that are that are executing 120 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: our laws, that are going out and enforcing our laws, 121 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: they safe. And there's no room for somebody that is 122 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: inciting violence like this, No room at all, Tony. 123 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: Let's talk about San Antonio, which is where I'm based 124 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: at KTSA. It's part of your district. San Antonio. The 125 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: mayor came out immediately and said it was wrong, and 126 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: it should not have happened, and immediately took the side 127 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: opposite of the ICE agent. The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walls, 128 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: I call him Tim fraud Walls. This guy has come 129 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: out every single day and said, go and gather, go 130 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: where they are, go and exercise your First Amendment right. 131 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: It's not a First Amendment right to block the road 132 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and to drive at ICE agents. The mayor of Minneapolis says, 133 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: get the f out of Minneapolis. When all they have 134 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: to do, and I want you to if you don't 135 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: mind explaining this to my audience better than I'm about to, 136 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: all they have to do is comply with ICE. If 137 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: the local police chief, the local mayor, if the governor 138 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: of the state said, yeah, Ice, come in, get the 139 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: people you've got on the list that you want to get, 140 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: will help you out, then you can get out. None 141 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: of this is necessary. 142 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And you know what I put into 143 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: legislation where they don't they don't have a choice that 144 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: the federal they have to they have to interact with 145 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: the federal government when it comes to enforcing ICE policy. 146 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: I think that's the right approach to take instead of 147 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: counting on these mayors or these these governors that in 148 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: many cases have gone rogue, and I'm hearing from constituencies 149 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: that go they don't represent us. They're putting our communities 150 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: in danger by by spewing this hate and this rhetoric 151 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: and and essentially being anti police. They're the They're of 152 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: the defund the police movement. This is a this is 153 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: part two of defund the police movement by the left, 154 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: and all they're is inserting Ice where they inserted the 155 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: police department before that. We cannot allow them to win 156 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: this because once we do, it erodes our way of life. 157 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: Whether it's in San Antonio, whether it's in Minneapolis, wherever 158 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: it is, we have to push back against it. Part 159 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: of that is codifying President Trump's executive words into law 160 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: long term. That's exactly what I'm doing in Congress. 161 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: Gonzales at house dog Governor is Gonzales with an ass 162 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: at the end. It's Tony Gonzalez, US Representative District twenty three, Republican, 163 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: Great State of Texas. When it comes to an organization 164 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: like Ice Watch, which this rero Ana Good was a 165 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: part of, they were literally following Ice around all day. 166 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: You can stand on the sidewalk and yell all you want. 167 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, yelling is still not peaceable, it's not really 168 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: constitutionally protected. But whatever, you can yell whatever you want. 169 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: When you decide to block a road and stop the 170 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: civil rights and the abilities for people to go and 171 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: live their lives freely, that's a different thing. When you've 172 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: got an organization that's called ice Watch, you know that 173 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: it exists. When they step one toe in the middle 174 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: of the street, shouldn't we be arresting them? Shouldn't we 175 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: be shutting it down so that something like this can't 176 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: continue to happen. The fact that she had that ability 177 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: to follow them all day to park in the middle 178 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: of the road. Her wife is yelling, go, honey, go, 179 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't we be able to do something without 180 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: us worrying about trampling on First Amendment rights? Because that 181 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: right to freely speak and to bring redress is limited. 182 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: You can't do anything you want. 183 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: You bring up a great point. It reminds me, honestly, 184 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: it reminds me a lot of my time in Iraq 185 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: and Afghanistan, where you had these terrorists that would create 186 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: playbooks and they would go out and they would recruit 187 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,119 Speaker 2: other people and they would show them whatever the playbook 188 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: was they would train them, they would equip them, they 189 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: would arm them, and then ultimately they would deploy them 190 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: to different places. That is exactly what I'm seeing by 191 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: the left is a lot of these things. They're not organic, 192 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: They're orchestrated. People are parachuting into these places and they're 193 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: inciting riots and then creating violence, and they're creating an 194 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 2: opportunity that is going to cause harm to themselves and others. 195 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: And there is no room for that in America. And 196 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: if we allow that to continue, all we're gonna do 197 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: is unravel America even further. And I don't I know 198 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 2: for a fact President Trump is not going to allow 199 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: that to occur. I fully stand behind ICE and what 200 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: they're doing. They need to go out and execute these 201 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: these orders of removing very dangerous criminals from our streets. 202 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: Are you concerned about ICE officers safety. I know that 203 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: about twelve thousand people have signed up to become part 204 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: of ICE. At the same time, in Minneapolis, nobody's signing 205 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: up to become a police officer, which is interesting, But 206 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: are you concerned about their safety? Because the it's not 207 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: just rhetoric, Tony, they are literally putting cars in drive 208 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: and driving at them. 209 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: Now, it's real. I'm concerned with all law enforcement officers. 210 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: You know, today is national law enforcement, you know a 211 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: day and I was with a group here in South Texas. 212 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 2: I'm talking about two hundred plus law enforcement officers, local, state, federal, 213 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: and I showed up just to say thank you, thank 214 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: you for wearing the badge, thank you for going to work, 215 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: thank you for putting your boots on and keeping us safe. 216 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: There needs to be more of that. And so for 217 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: these ICE agents that are under attack, this is real. 218 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: This isn't they make believe? This isn't they Hey, they're 219 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: just you know, saying nasty words at you. They're trying 220 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: to harm them, either with projectiles or with vehicles or weapons. 221 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: We saw it in South Texas where they shot up 222 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: a facility here. I mean, this is real. And you 223 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: know what, the left is one that is causing this. 224 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: They can point fingers all day long, but it is 225 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: these radical leftists are the ones that are going out 226 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 2: and spewing this, and we have to stop it. We 227 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: have to consider these organizations domestic terrorist organizations and not 228 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: allow them to just go out and trample on our 229 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 2: constitutional rights. 230 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Let me ask you for an opinion on this. Do 231 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: you know why they're doing it. Let's say Tim Walls 232 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: is successful, or the idiot mayor of Seattle or the 233 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: idiot mayor of Portland. Let's say they're successful in making 234 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: ICE stop. Why do they want them to stop? What 235 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: is their problem with getting rid of people who committed 236 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: a crime to come across the border. What's their problem 237 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: with the ICE would go after the worst of the 238 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: worst if these places cooperated. Now they've got to go 239 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: after everybody who's here illegally because they're not cooperating. What 240 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: do you think they want? What is your opinion? If 241 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: we decided let's disband ICE tomorrow, how do they win? 242 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what they don't want. Then I'll tell 243 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: you what I think they want. What they don't want 244 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: is they don't care about the Hispanic communities. They don't 245 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 2: care about immigrants. They don't care about people that came 246 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: here illegally. Uh that are that are you know living 247 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: in this country? They don't they this is a pure 248 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: political move. All they care about is pure politics and 249 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: winning elections so they can put their people in power 250 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: and they can issue their their policies. That are socialists 251 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: leftist policies. That's all they care about, and they're viewsed 252 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: the Hispanic community in order to get to that. I 253 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: cannot allow that to uh what what what? We have 254 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: to expose them for what they are once again. In 255 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: South Texas, we're a very we're a very diverse community. 256 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: You know, I represent a district that's predominantly Hispanic. We 257 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: have gotten our lives back because of President Trump's policies 258 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 2: along the border. It's no longer chaotic once again. We're 259 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: a very welcoming and a warm community. The stuff that's 260 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: happening in other parts of the country, we do not 261 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: want that here. We believe in law and order. We 262 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: believe in those things, and so now is the time 263 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: for us to stand up. This is more than just 264 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: conservatives like this is Americans standing up and going we're 265 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 2: not going to allow these crazies to take over. 266 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't agree with you more. I'm gonna ring 267 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: my own bell a little bit here. I love if 268 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: you've seen my ratings, but they're through the roof and 269 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: my main market, my home market, is sixty five percent Hispanic. 270 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: They are very good people. They're family oriented, their values oriented. 271 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: They're generally speaking Catholic or Christian, and at the end 272 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: of the day their anti abortion, you know, the pro family. 273 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: These people don't want to be represented on a national 274 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: level as if they'refore people coming here illegally and breaking 275 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: the law. And I think that's what the left doesn't 276 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: seem to get. You're right. They don't care about ancestry, 277 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: they don't care about helping the a boiler who's been 278 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: here thirty years, care about mayhem and anarchy. And I 279 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: guess some sort of globalist view, Tony. Is this them 280 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: leading to some sort of global controller of the United 281 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: States becus we're the one country that won't give into that. 282 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: Could that be what it is? 283 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: I think so. I mean it is orchestrated. This isn't 284 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: by chance, This isn't happening one off. This is a 285 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: well structured, financed, trained and operated machine. Once again, we're 286 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: people parachute into communities to do one thing, to defund 287 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: and derail police and authority and to unravel us from 288 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: the inside out. I've always said this. You know, our 289 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: adversaries will never depeate, defeat America. We are as strong people. 290 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: The only way they'll do that is if they try 291 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: to tear us from the inside out, and that's what 292 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: is occurring. We can't allow these people to do that. 293 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: We have to expose them for the wrongs that they 294 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: have committed, and we have to fully back Ice and 295 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: our law enforcement to go out and round up these 296 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: bad actors that are in our country. 297 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: We start to understand their goals, don't we When we 298 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: see BLM show up yesterday. BLM is a Marxist LGBTQ organization, 299 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with black lives at all. It's 300 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: about enriching the people that founded it. They showed up 301 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: and they were chanting that we have to get the money. 302 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: It's about getting the money. They saw an opportunity, I guess, 303 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: and I think the GoFundMe for this woman, for the 304 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: wife of the woman is up to one point five 305 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: million dollars. It always seems to lead back to money, 306 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: but it's different this time that the Summer of love 307 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: isn't happening again in Minneapolis, because I think that they 308 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: realize President Trump will send in the National Guard to 309 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: shut it down very quickly. There is an uprising. They 310 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: are starting trouble again, but it's not like it was then. 311 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Why do you think it's different now than it was 312 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand. Why do you think they realize that 313 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: you've got somebody in the White House who probably won't 314 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: let them get away with it this time. 315 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: I mean, just look at Ask Medoro. You know how 316 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: he's doing. But President Trump is not playing around. I mean, 317 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: he's essentially going, I'm not going to allow you to 318 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: trample on our flag and the trample on our laws. Uh, 319 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: you know, I will allow you to your first amendment 320 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: of rights, of course, and is to speak whatever you want. 321 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: I love when he does these interviews with people that 322 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: are completely against him. He wants that, but he is 323 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: not gonna he is not gonna allow a governor, a mayor, 324 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: or anyone else circumvent the rule of law. And that's 325 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: what's different this time than others. And I think people, uh, 326 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: some of these activists realize that the sooner they can 327 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: get the hell out of our cities and go back 328 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: to wherever they came from, the safer our communities will be. 329 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: Representative Ton of Gonzalez District twenty three, Republican, great date 330 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: of Texas. 331 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: Well. 332 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: Can you tell me about the shooting in Portland. I'm 333 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: not up on that one, but I understand it's a 334 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: big trend as well. What happened there, because they're not 335 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: making as much noise about that one as they are 336 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: about Minneapolis. Was that was that a some sort of 337 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: an attack on ice again? What was that? 338 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: There were some initial reports showed that there were there 339 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: were some folks tied to TDA, the trend alwa uh 340 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: gang and so so once again, so they're not, they're not. 341 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: They don't want to highlights some of these bad actors 342 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: too much. Then once again they want to try to 343 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: use the optics of what appears as if this innocent 344 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: person was harmed and let that be the face of 345 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: a movement, if you will. I sit on the Homeland 346 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 2: Security Committee, and our committee has been following these these 347 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 2: these various different cases very closely, and once again we're 348 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: looking at it through the lens of facts, not through emotion, 349 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 2: not through you know, these these other spontaneous things, but 350 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: what were the facts that occurred, and then sharing that 351 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 2: truth with the American people to go, don't fall for 352 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: the left, the legacy media trying to feed you a 353 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 2: story or a narrative. Fall for the facts, and so 354 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: expect the Homeland Security Committee to share and have more 355 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 2: hearings that are more transparent on what is occurring. 356 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: What is your fear about Trendy Uragua now that that 357 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: Maduro was caught. And by the way, I learned something 358 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: from Debbie de Seuza the other day, who's from Venezuela. 359 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: Originally I had no idea about this. You probably did 360 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: because you speak to people in Latin America. Maduro is 361 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: not from Venezuela. He's a Colombian. I had no idea. 362 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: So Trendy and Ragua is here. They're doing bad things. 363 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: They were taking over apartment complexes all over the place. 364 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: That's certainly a slow down now that we're getting them out. 365 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: But they're somehow possibly involved in Portland. So take the 366 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: opportunity to do bad things. Well, we've got your president 367 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: locked up in New York. Is that what I'm to 368 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: be hearing you say? Really? 369 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: Well, they're really they're everywhere. They're in all fifty states. 370 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: They have their tentacles and everything. I tell you what 371 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: has worked when we passed in Congress, when we passed 372 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: the one big, beautiful bill that gave President Trump all 373 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: the tools he needed, and Christy Nome and Tom Homan 374 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: all the tools they needed to go out there and 375 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: use these task forces, these anti gang and anti terrorist 376 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 2: task forces led by Homeland Security. They work, they work 377 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: PAGs and so these task forces are exposing and going 378 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 2: out and basically turning up these bad actors, scooping them 379 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: up and taking them off our streets. It's working. There 380 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: needs to be more of it on the Maduro deal. 381 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: I hope, you know, Venezuela deserves to be free. They 382 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: deserve to be you know, have free and fair elections. 383 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: And I hope all those people that fled Venezuela will 384 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: flee back to Venezuela to help rebuild their country. 385 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: Eight million people left, as you know, which is kind 386 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: of amazing. It's Tony Gonzalez. You and I would speak 387 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: once a month at least, have done more than that 388 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: during the Biden administration because the border was so bad. 389 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: We've only talked about the border like once in the 390 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: last year and a half or a year plus a 391 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: month or whatever it is. Talk to me about the 392 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: difference as you're down there. You just did a pressure 393 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: down there, You just you know, you visit the border 394 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: all the time, it's in your district. What's the difference 395 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: visually geographically, morale wise, just fill us in what you 396 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: found there today. 397 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I woke up in San Antonio, and then I 398 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: went to Crystal City, which is about maybe an hour 399 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: from the border. I was an Eagle Pass, which is 400 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: along the border. We saw those images along that, and 401 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: then right now I'm in neil Real. If you remember 402 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: the Haitians in the under the bridge several years ago, 403 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: that's right, that's right, that was here in Del Rio. Well, 404 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 2: guess what it is a bright, beautiful sunny day. It 405 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: is not chaotic at all. We've gotten our lives back, 406 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: and the people here are so grateful for that. They're 407 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: good people. There's a lot of things happening, but we're 408 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: just grateful to have our lives back. And a lot 409 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 2: of that is due to the policies that President Trump 410 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: has enacted, and it's due to the Congress passing these 411 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: bills that have given the funding to go out there. 412 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: We just were about to pass the Homeland Security Approach 413 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: bill that's gonna have funding for twenty two thousand customs 414 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: and Border Patrol, good water protection agents. Those type of 415 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: numbers is what is what is making this all work. 416 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: When you went down there with Elon musk It was 417 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: an historic visit. By the way, we literally were watching 418 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: people come across the border illegally and nobody was doing 419 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: anything about it. They wanted to Border patrol wanted to, 420 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: but they weren't allowed to. The policies then by more 421 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: majorcis and auto pen were sucks that you just come 422 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: in and don't you get here, get temporary status, put 423 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: you in the inside of the United States of America. 424 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: We never find you. Gain fine, you've got to courtate 425 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: seven years from now on a name that you probably 426 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: made up as you came across. Compare and contrast, is 427 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: anybody coming across illegally. 428 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 2: Now they're trying to I mean, it'll never stop if 429 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 2: you will. There always will be people that trying to 430 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: get smuggled in in different cases. But I'm talking about 431 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 2: we're defeating them because once again, like the border is 432 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 2: oftentimes hundreds of miles before you get to our border, 433 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: so there's an opportunity for us to go out and 434 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 2: capture them before they enter our border. And that's what 435 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: we're doing. When I hosted Elon, there's a picture of 436 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 2: me and Elon overlooking this crowd of like one hundred 437 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: different folks and I'll never forget. When we're in my 438 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: pickup truck, I said, look, elon, I'm like, there are thousands. 439 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: There's ten thousand people that have come over illegally in 440 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: this sector alone this month, and zero have been sent back. 441 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: He goes zero one person, not one person was sent back. 442 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 2: That is night and day difference, and a lot of 443 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: it is due to President Trump and Homeland Security for 444 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: enacting these laws. 445 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: Well, I think you had a lot to do with 446 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: him going full fledged Maga. I think you had a 447 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: lot to do with him going full fledged. America. First, 448 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you guys made that visit. Let me 449 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: talk to you as a soldier somebody who could have 450 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: you weren't in the Army Rangers, right, I. 451 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: Was in the Navy. I was in the Navy, Okay. 452 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that like you weren't 453 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: Special Forces, though doesn't take anything away from you. I 454 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: just wondered if you would ever gone in a mission 455 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: like this one now in the eternal part of Iraq, 456 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: you probably dealt with an awful lot of stuff that 457 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: were secret missions and everything else. I just wondered if 458 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: if you could give me your opinion as a veteran 459 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: when you see how unbelievable this mission was. They go 460 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: in with one hundred and fifty planes, no American deaths 461 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: get you kill the elite guard from Russia, I think, 462 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: from Cuba, I think from China, I think and those 463 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: who were directly the special forces that were active, du 464 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: and his wife, and you take the guy out of 465 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: the country in a matter of a couple of hours. 466 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: Tony just I mean, it sounds like a movie. It's unbelievable. 467 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: We heard happened there. 468 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: It is a reminder that our military is unmatched. And 469 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: I think back to my time in Afghanistan where we 470 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: hunted down these terrorists, and how complex these these missions were, 471 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: where you needed air and you needed ground, and you 472 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: needed all these communications and you needed you basically had 473 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: to run a perfect play, and we did that. Night 474 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: after night we were scooping up these terrorists. And I 475 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: think back to what happened in Venezuela. It was the 476 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: same thing, but just at a large scale for us 477 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: to do that. Think about it with with how perfect 478 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 2: that thing was ran. If there was one thing wrong, 479 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: the media, with the legacy media would go nuts and 480 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 2: they'd shoot holes and all the different things. But it 481 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: was flawless, and it was flawless because it was a plan. 482 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: It was well executed to perfection, and it just goes 483 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: to show the world anywhere, any place, if you're against 484 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: the United States, it's Now's not the time. There's a 485 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: new sheriff in town. And President Trump is he means business. 486 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: He puts action to his words. 487 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: I know that you were in Afghanistan when you're also 488 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: in Iraq or not. 489 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: I was in Iraq as well. 490 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: I thought so, And thank you so much for your service, 491 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: and thank you for the insight on that. Again, you 492 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: talk to people in Latin America all the time. I 493 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: believe that you met with the Guatemalan president at some 494 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: point trying to figure out what the hell was going on. 495 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: Talk to me about the people of Venezuela and what 496 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: they can expect now. And here's what I mean. Maduro 497 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: is out, but his vice president is the interim president. 498 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: We know that a guy in twenty four won by 499 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: our account seventy percent to thirty percent over Maduro, and 500 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: that he was exiled or arrested or something. And Maduro said, yeah, 501 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: we recounted and I really ended up winning. Does that 502 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: guy deserve to be the president. Does this person who's 503 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: there now deserve to be the president? Would you like 504 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: to see free and open elections sooner than later? In Venezuela. 505 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: We don't want to run the joint for any length 506 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: of time. So what happens next? 507 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah, one is I don't want to 508 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 2: see Americans in Venezuela. Uh, you know, we get into 509 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 2: wars and we never get out of them. And two, 510 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: I'd like to see the Venezuelan people, uh, you know, 511 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: be free. And that place is a beautiful place that 512 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: has lots of different things to offer. It was a 513 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: great country for a long time until the socialist rented 514 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: into the ground. I also think that from a military standpoint, 515 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: I think that back to my time in Iraq, where 516 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: we had these deck of cards. You remember the deck 517 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: of cards PAGs where it was like the ace of 518 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 2: spades and the King and the jack. There was all 519 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: these difference. All the bad guys were on a deck 520 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: of cards. We would joke it's like, hey, we scooped 521 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: up you know the Jack of spades yesterday, but nothing changed. 522 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: It was like playing whackable, you know. So so when 523 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 2: I think of Maduro, I go, yes, he's one guy. 524 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: But when when an organizations has its tentacles in a 525 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: country for that long, it normally takes more than just 526 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: you know, burning one hard if you will. And it's 527 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: a good start, but hopefully it's an eye opener to 528 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: that to that regime. That change has to happen either 529 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: internally or change will happen externally. 530 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 1: Well, do you think the guy who won has a 531 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: claim or would you like to see an election soon? 532 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: I mean, he probably has a claim. I'd say, hey, 533 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: I just won this election. Uh, but I imagine you know, 534 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 2: a new set of elections should occur either way. I 535 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: mean ideally, probably a new election should occur, and the 536 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: sooner that can take place with with the right you know, 537 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: uh international Uh folks making there, but but don't follow 538 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 2: California standards. So I don't want to. I don't want 539 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: an election to drag out for two weeks and then go, 540 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: oh it turns out you lost. It has to be 541 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: Texas standards where you know, you get your results the 542 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: same day. 543 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: Photo I D make sure you mail in ballots maybe 544 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: absentee for military. I'm with you. Let me finish with this. 545 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: There was an Iranian component there Iran was in Venus. 546 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: It probably still is on some level. Russia was there, 547 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: China was there. They're trying to infiltrate our hemisphere, and 548 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: they did it at Cuba exactly right. They did it 549 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: to get close to us and dominate the hemisphere. Now 550 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: you've got the Cuban leader who's you know, saber rattling, 551 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: but he sounds scared. The Columbian leader with saber rattling. 552 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: Now he's like, hey, can we meet President Trump. So 553 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: it's a good thing, But I want to talk about 554 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: the Iranian component, if you don't mind. Nobody's reporting it 555 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: here in the legacy media, and they're misreporting it around 556 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: the world. There are thousands of people in the streets 557 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: of Iran right now insisting that the theocracy is removed. 558 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: They are being killed in the streets. They're lying dead 559 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: in the streets just to try to get freedom. Tony, 560 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: what involvement, if any, should we have, not on mean militarily. 561 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: But when Iran had a chance under Obama, you know 562 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: this as well as I do, he said We're not 563 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: going to meddle in the elections of the Islamic Republic 564 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: of Iran, and then he left it alone. And people 565 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: were being killed in the streets. They're only doing this 566 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: because they saw how easy it was for us to 567 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: get Maduro, or it seemed to be easy. I'm sure 568 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't easy. So this is why they're rising up. 569 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: What should we do, if anything, to show moral support 570 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: at least to the people of Iran right now? 571 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: The people of Iran are no different than the people 572 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: of Venezuela. They deserve it tof be free and once again. 573 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 2: Iran was a beautiful country for a very long time, 574 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: and it can be a beautiful country again. I think 575 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 2: the United States role is we should be the world 576 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 2: leader once again. I don't envision a world where we 577 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: go out and put boots on ground in every soil 578 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: we can get our hands on. Because I've been in 579 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 2: endless wars. I'm no fan of endless wars. But we 580 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 2: should encourage people to rise up and to take back 581 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: their own communities and to basically organically take over their 582 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: country again. And we have to empower them. We can't 583 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: just go, hey, best of luck, go out there and 584 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: get them. We have to empower them in simple ways, 585 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 2: you know, just having access to internet and having access 586 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: to real information. That's what I love about Elon Musk too. 587 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: You know his starlink works and he has turned it 588 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 2: on for so many millions of people. That freedom gives 589 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: you the empowerment you need to go. Wait a second, 590 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: If they can do that in another part of the world, 591 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: why can't we do that here? That to me, is 592 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 2: one of the most powerful things we can do as 593 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:09,479 Speaker 2: a country. 594 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I couldn't agree more. And I wish the 595 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: legacy media would get off their asses and actually show this. 596 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure why they're not showing what's going on 597 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: in Iran. If they did show it, I think it 598 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: would embolden the people of Iran as well. I said 599 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: that was it, But let's finish with China quickly. That 600 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: China a threat to Taiwan has been real for a 601 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: long time. It now appears to me that China just 602 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: got a wake up call that if you try it, 603 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: President Trump might do something to stop you. And I'm 604 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: not saying military there either. You and I agree, no 605 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: boots on the ground in all these foreign countries. But 606 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: Taiwan has to understand it. It has to realize that we 607 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: have their back, at least morally, and plus we've got 608 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: weaponry that we've sold to them as well. That's there. 609 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Does this give China pause, Tony, do you think to 610 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: not do anything against Taiwan right now? 611 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: I think it does. I mean, they were on this 612 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 2: path where they were constantly you know, they didn't blockades 613 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 2: of the island, and they were intruding on Taiwanese airspace, 614 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 2: and they were pushing the envelope more and more, or 615 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: like a child, pushing the envelope more and more. What 616 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: President Trump has done is he has come and he 617 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: has reset the international relations table and he said, whatever 618 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: the last guy did, I'm not I'm going to do 619 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: the exact opposite. America is going to be not only 620 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 2: are we going to take care of Americans, but we're 621 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: going to make sure that the world is a much 622 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: different place where these dictators and these you know, these 623 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: these folks that have gotten away with murder to be 624 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: frank Is no more, and you know, the the we 625 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 2: empower those to have freedoms. 626 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: The fact is China was in Venezuela just the week 627 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: before we did this raid, and they they got a 628 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: real they got a severe wake up call, and I 629 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: think they're on their heels. I hope they are I'm 630 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: not going to under underrate them and think, Okay, not 631 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: a big deal anymore. But I think they're all going 632 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: to have to rethink their their their policies because this 633 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: guy has shown President Trump has shown he's not playing around. 634 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: It's Tony Gonzalez, US Representative District twenty three from the 635 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: great state of Texas and a friend of ours.
