You 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.980 have made it to the end of the week. And 0:00:19.070 --> 0:00:22.509 we are going to have the best Jesse Kelly Show 0:00:22.829 --> 0:00:25.710 ever tonight. First, we're going to go ahead and wade 0:00:25.770 --> 0:00:30.280 into the controversy because... Look, we get a lot of emails. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.479 I think like half of them wanted to talk about 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.790 this public execution, people for it, people against it. We'll 0:00:35.830 --> 0:00:38.810 talk about that. We're going to talk about remittances to 0:00:38.890 --> 0:00:42.150 foreign nations, maybe even a little. history someone wants to 0:00:42.210 --> 0:00:46.489 talk about corrupt cops there's all kinds of places we're 0:00:46.510 --> 0:00:47.989 going to go tonight and we're going to have a 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.600 good time immigration politics where's james talarico all that and 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.580 so much more coming up tonight on the world famous 0:00:56.660 --> 0:01:01.570 jesse kelly show so let's dive right into the first 0:01:01.650 --> 0:01:05.870 one i'll just oh you know what i picked four 0:01:05.950 --> 0:01:10.199 i'm gonna read but here they are jesse By the way, 0:01:10.420 --> 0:01:12.810 quick background. Maybe you've been hiding under a rock. I'm 0:01:12.850 --> 0:01:17.610 assuming everyone heard by now that Dirtball, who shot up 0:01:17.670 --> 0:01:22.070 a bunch of troops in Fort Hood, massacred them years ago. 0:01:23.750 --> 0:01:26.730 They made a public announcement, Pete Hegg said, that he's 0:01:26.780 --> 0:01:29.640 going to be executed by a firing squad and that 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.360 you're going to be able to live stream it. Apparently, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.319 as it stands right now, you can watch it. So 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.760 that's the background on this. Jesse, am I a bad person? 0:01:38.260 --> 0:01:41.100 to support the execution of Nidal Hassan, who committed a 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.350 massacre of his battle buddies 17 years ago. Jesse, will 0:01:46.370 --> 0:01:51.270 you watch? As a veteran myself, I think I will. Jesse, 0:01:51.290 --> 0:01:53.010 you said in the past that if we brought back 0:01:53.050 --> 0:01:58.150 Gladiator games, there would be outrage but record-breaking ratings. If 0:01:58.210 --> 0:02:01.400 it goes on as scheduled and is live-streamed, will it 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.120 be the most watched event of the year? Jesse, I 0:02:05.140 --> 0:02:07.460 don't like this. Jesse, it doesn't seem like this is 0:02:07.540 --> 0:02:10.760 who we are. Don't you think this is appalling? Okay. 0:02:10.780 --> 0:02:15.720 All right. Let's just stop there. You get the idea. First, 0:02:17.310 --> 0:02:21.730 let's get this out of the way. Um, how to 0:02:22.050 --> 0:02:30.410 punish criminals has always been controversial. There is always, there 0:02:30.450 --> 0:02:34.940 has always been debate on, is this too far? Is 0:02:34.980 --> 0:02:39.530 this not far enough? Is this, uh, Is this something 0:02:39.570 --> 0:02:41.660 that's going to encourage more? Is this something that's going 0:02:41.690 --> 0:02:46.400 to discourage more? Do you lock them away forever? Do 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.840 you only lock them away for a short time, then 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.120 try to rehabilitate? If it's a really bad crime, do 0:02:52.139 --> 0:02:54.139 you execute them? If you do execute them, how do 0:02:54.180 --> 0:02:56.160 you execute them? Do you want to make it fast 0:02:56.220 --> 0:02:58.260 and painless and private, or do you want to make 0:02:58.300 --> 0:03:03.130 it public and flay them alive? These debates are the 0:03:03.310 --> 0:03:05.430 most common thing in the world, and I'll tell you 0:03:05.470 --> 0:03:08.090 this right off the bat. I'm going to give you 0:03:08.110 --> 0:03:09.669 my opinion, by the way, but I'm going to let 0:03:09.690 --> 0:03:13.750 you know right now. If you're somebody who doesn't want 0:03:13.830 --> 0:03:17.649 this to happen, a public execution of somebody live streamed, 0:03:17.690 --> 0:03:20.389 if you're somebody who's thinking that's not who we are, 0:03:20.470 --> 0:03:24.240 I don't like it, there's nothing wrong with that. There's 0:03:24.380 --> 0:03:27.459 nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. There's a 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.880 great argument to be made for, no, I don't like it. No, 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.840 it's not right. No, it's slippery. There are great arguments 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.970 to be made. You're not wrong, okay? On the flip side, 0:03:39.230 --> 0:03:41.530 if you're like me, and I will explain my reasoning, 0:03:42.430 --> 0:03:45.790 and you have no problem with it whatsoever, you're not 0:03:45.830 --> 0:03:49.839 wrong either. You're not wrong. We can have debates about this. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.580 I would encourage you to debate, friends, debate, family about it. 0:03:52.620 --> 0:03:55.260 We can have debates about this, but there are wonderful 0:03:55.340 --> 0:04:00.120 justifications on both sides of this entire thing. But I'm 0:04:00.140 --> 0:04:06.630 going to give it to you right here. First, It's 0:04:06.710 --> 0:04:14.170 ugly watching someone die. It's ugly reading about the process 0:04:14.230 --> 0:04:18.719 of someone dying. You know, for the longest time, public 0:04:19.100 --> 0:04:21.480 executions were the norm all over the world, including here 0:04:21.500 --> 0:04:24.440 in the United States of America. And I was reading 0:04:24.500 --> 0:04:26.200 a story. This was not an American story. It was 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.159 in Europe. But I was reading this story some time ago. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.400 And this is years ago. It stuck with me. And 0:04:32.420 --> 0:04:34.170 it was a story of a man. He had killed someone. 0:04:35.510 --> 0:04:39.240 I said, that's bad. Murderer. He was scheduled to be 0:04:39.270 --> 0:04:43.200 put to death. It was going to be an ugly one, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.650 broken on the wheel. You can go look it up. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.500 It's really ugly, weighted eye, painful, horrible. And there's a 0:04:50.620 --> 0:04:54.820 detailed account of what this guy is going through the 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:59.360 days before. The priest comes in, talks to him, prays 0:04:59.420 --> 0:05:05.250 with him. The experience. The fear, everything, soiling himself. It's horrible. 0:05:05.290 --> 0:05:09.670 It's horrible. And then they walk you through the actual execution. 0:05:09.690 --> 0:05:11.270 And I'm reading this, by the way. I'm not watching. 0:05:11.290 --> 0:05:14.230 I'm reading this. And you have the breaking of his 0:05:14.470 --> 0:05:18.090 arms and the legs. And it's just, now this is 0:05:18.130 --> 0:05:23.270 a murderer. But you read that stuff and you're picturing it, right? 0:05:23.300 --> 0:05:25.980 That's what you're doing when you're reading it. You read 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:31.169 this stuff and you think to yourself, oh, man. Is 0:05:31.190 --> 0:05:34.690 this okay? This is hard to watch. This is hard 0:05:34.710 --> 0:05:40.080 to read. This is sad. This is okay. I think 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.120 if you feel like that, that's very normal. It's very 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:47.219 human and probably it's very healthy. But I come at 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.780 it like this. I come at it with this frame 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.020 of mind. It's not just that I have a personal 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.490 hatred of this person, not just because he's a jihadi. 0:05:56.529 --> 0:05:58.690 You know how I feel about them, but because he 0:05:58.730 --> 0:06:03.820 betrayed his fellow soldiers and and butchered them. It's actually 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.550 not his specific crimes that make me as much of 0:06:07.610 --> 0:06:12.970 a supporter of this as it is this. In society 0:06:13.050 --> 0:06:20.150 after society after society throughout history, including American society, after 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.940 all the debates were done, the norm has been he 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:31.969 should be executed and he should be executed publicly So 0:06:32.070 --> 0:06:36.190 people can watch. Now, why? Why? It's hard. I mean, 0:06:36.270 --> 0:06:39.719 in America, again, public execution was the norm for the 0:06:39.779 --> 0:06:43.620 majority of American history. We have public execution. I think 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.000 the last one was in the 1930s or something like that. 0:06:46.460 --> 0:06:50.120 The majority of American history, there were public executions. That 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.810 wasn't just something you saw in John Wayne movies. In 0:06:52.820 --> 0:06:56.210 the older days, it was after church on Sunday. You 0:06:56.750 --> 0:06:59.950 packed some bread and meat, and you went on down 0:06:59.990 --> 0:07:02.490 to the local courthouse because you were going to watch 0:07:02.510 --> 0:07:05.750 them string up some horse thieves, and guess what? The 0:07:05.790 --> 0:07:08.810 kids came, and the kids watched. This was how it 0:07:08.830 --> 0:07:14.110 was done. Why were these people sadists? No. A couple 0:07:14.130 --> 0:07:18.870 different things. First, it does have an impact on everybody, 0:07:19.350 --> 0:07:21.840 the good and the bad. And it does have an 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.900 impact on the bad. One thing that is not deniable, 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.100 we can argue about crime and punishment all day, and 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:28.840 these are great arguments to have, but one thing that 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.600 is not deniable is when the punishment is bad enough 0:07:32.700 --> 0:07:35.580 for committing crimes, crime goes down. Period. End of story. 0:07:36.580 --> 0:07:38.780 When the punishment is too lenient, crime goes up. When 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.490 the punishment is harsh, crime goes down. Period. You're sitting there, 0:07:42.530 --> 0:07:45.840 maybe you're an aspiring horse thief yourself in the Old West, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.920 and you're trying to decide, do I want to go 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.800 back to school? Do I want to learn how to read? 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.540 Or I could go steal some horses. And then you 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.240 spend your Sunday afternoon watching guys' legs twitch as they 0:07:56.300 --> 0:07:59.280 die on the gallows, and you say to yourself, I 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:09.260 guess math isn't that bad. It happens. It happens. That's one. Two. I, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.140 for the longest time, I have only half joking. I'm 0:08:13.190 --> 0:08:15.090 really not joking, to be honest with you. I have 0:08:15.150 --> 0:08:19.890 talked about how I wish, I wish American zoos, which 0:08:19.930 --> 0:08:22.830 I'm not a big zoo fan. I don't, I love animals. 0:08:22.930 --> 0:08:24.510 I mean, I hunt and fish, or at least I 0:08:24.530 --> 0:08:27.090 don't hunt anymore, but I've done plenty of hunting and fishing. 0:08:27.130 --> 0:08:29.230 I'm not an animal rights freak, but I just love animals. 0:08:29.270 --> 0:08:31.570 I think they're wonderful. And I don't like seeing them 0:08:31.610 --> 0:08:33.270 locked up in cages. But if we're going to have 0:08:33.309 --> 0:08:37.210 zoos so people can observe all these wonderful animals, why 0:08:37.250 --> 0:08:40.620 aren't we feeding them live animals? in front of the kids. 0:08:41.100 --> 0:08:43.680 I don't say that because I'm a sadistic freak or 0:08:43.700 --> 0:08:46.220 because I want to watch a deer get eaten in 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.040 the lion's den. That's not what I'm saying. I've seen 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.600 plenty of deer die and I don't need to see 0:08:49.620 --> 0:08:55.960 it again. I think that's healthy for society because that's 0:08:56.020 --> 0:09:01.300 what real life looks like. If your only encounters with 0:09:01.420 --> 0:09:06.120 animals are the lion being lazy in the zoo or Oh, 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.990 look at how sweet the leopard seals are. They're playing. 0:09:10.010 --> 0:09:15.610 If that's the full extent of your understanding of the 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.700 animal kingdom, you are painfully naive. You don't get it. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.099 You don't get it. You don't understand real life. You 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.290 have been presented with a sanitized version of real life 0:09:27.330 --> 0:09:30.860 that is not reality. And maybe because you were presented 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.120 with that sanitized version, you'll find yourself in Yellowstone Park 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.219 one day pulling out your iPhone, walking up to a 0:09:37.260 --> 0:09:40.179 buffalo because you think he's fluffy, and then you're dead. 0:09:42.020 --> 0:09:45.390 If you had a real, real view of what life 0:09:45.450 --> 0:09:49.430 is like, I think it would make you grow up more. 0:09:51.270 --> 0:09:55.670 I think there's benefit to watching this. I will watch. 0:09:56.770 --> 0:09:59.020 I will watch, and I'll be honest. I will not 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.890 watch for the pleasure. of it. I'm not going to 0:10:00.929 --> 0:10:03.620 cry for this guy, but I will not watch for 0:10:03.630 --> 0:10:06.780 the pleasure of it. I'm not telling you what to do, 0:10:08.020 --> 0:10:12.660 but I view watching this as my civic duty. I do. 0:10:12.700 --> 0:10:16.450 I do. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a 0:10:16.570 --> 0:10:20.860 magnificent Friday and Ask Dr. Jesse Friday, but don't worry, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.380 we're live here.

I do have, 0:12:38.550 --> 0:12:40.610 as you can imagine, because I live in Texas, I 0:12:40.650 --> 0:12:44.430 do have some contacts who know things in Texas. And 0:12:44.470 --> 0:12:46.890 I was curious myself, where is he? Is this, what 0:12:46.929 --> 0:12:49.410 is he on some kind of drinking binge? But I mean, 0:12:49.429 --> 0:12:51.650 I don't know the guy personally who knows what, what 0:12:51.710 --> 0:12:53.670 problems he has in life. I don't, I don't know. 0:12:54.350 --> 0:12:57.190 So I really didn't know, but I started reaching out 0:12:57.210 --> 0:12:59.990 this couple of days ago. Hey, what have you heard? 0:13:00.030 --> 0:13:02.810 What have you heard? What have you heard? So here's 0:13:03.830 --> 0:13:08.620 what they have heard. Now, I am not, I can't 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:13.050 stress this enough, confirming this at all. This is what 0:13:13.170 --> 0:13:17.209 I heard. And the people I heard it from, they 0:13:17.250 --> 0:13:19.969 stressed that to me too. They're like, I think this 0:13:20.070 --> 0:13:22.360 might be solid, but I'm not telling you this is solid. 0:13:22.380 --> 0:13:24.840 They'll tell me when they know something. They said, I'm 0:13:24.900 --> 0:13:27.780 not quite sure yet, but this is what I'm hearing. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.900 And the rumor is James Tallarico had a mental breakdown. 0:13:36.630 --> 0:13:41.679 I even heard that taken a step further. The rumor 0:13:42.179 --> 0:13:47.940 is that James Tallarico is in some sort of a 0:13:48.540 --> 0:13:51.339 mental institution of some kind. I know when you say 0:13:51.380 --> 0:13:54.780 mental institution, we all picture straight jackets and one flew 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.130 over the cuckoo's nest and stuff. I'm not saying that 0:13:57.170 --> 0:13:59.930 at all. And again, I don't know. This is what 0:14:00.050 --> 0:14:05.490 I heard. I heard that he had a breakdown. Now, 0:14:08.990 --> 0:14:12.809 A lot of people have very difficult, dangerous jobs, stressful jobs. 0:14:12.870 --> 0:14:15.620 Maybe you do. Maybe school is stressful. Maybe your work 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.880 is stressful. Maybe life is stressful. I don't know. So 0:14:19.580 --> 0:14:22.760 please take what I'm about to say with a grain 0:14:22.780 --> 0:14:27.030 of salt. But it is true. When you were on 0:14:27.070 --> 0:14:30.470 a campaign, whether you're the candidate or someone working on 0:14:30.490 --> 0:14:34.450 the campaign, When you are leading up to the election, 0:14:34.510 --> 0:14:36.490 not only are you working really hard and you're not 0:14:36.530 --> 0:14:38.490 sleeping and all that stuff. I already told you all that. 0:14:40.230 --> 0:14:44.160 You are coming up on the biggest moment of your life. 0:14:45.700 --> 0:14:48.360 Let me ask you, how many times in your life 0:14:48.860 --> 0:14:51.640 have you had something and you thought, this is the 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.340 biggest moment of my life? There aren't that many for people, right? 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.990 If you're married, probably your wedding day or something. Or 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:03.240 if you went to join the Marine Corps. And the 0:15:03.260 --> 0:15:05.850 day you graduate boot camp. But no matter what, you've 0:15:05.870 --> 0:15:08.790 got what? Two, three, four of those where you would 0:15:08.890 --> 0:15:11.530 single out that day and say, wow, that's the biggest 0:15:11.570 --> 0:15:14.410 day of my life. Or one of them. If you 0:15:14.530 --> 0:15:19.910 are a candidate for the United States Senate, that is 0:15:20.070 --> 0:15:22.670 the day that's coming is the biggest day of your 0:15:22.710 --> 0:15:26.130 life by a mile. You're not eating well. You're not 0:15:26.190 --> 0:15:29.300 sleeping well. You're coming up on the biggest day of 0:15:29.340 --> 0:15:34.430 your life. And then, You have to factor in this part. 0:15:36.410 --> 0:15:42.390 He's bottom. Have you seen him? Have you heard him talk? 0:15:43.830 --> 0:15:48.890 Does this sound like a human being who's tough? Does 0:15:48.910 --> 0:15:54.840 this sound like a human being who's just rock solid, unwavering, 0:15:55.580 --> 0:15:58.600 going to be able to weather any pressure that comes along? 0:15:59.780 --> 0:16:04.250 Come on. Bottom is his nickname. Come on. He's not 0:16:04.260 --> 0:16:09.790 that guy. He's just not that guy. And I'm not 0:16:09.830 --> 0:16:13.330 going to say I believe the rumor yet, but I 0:16:13.370 --> 0:16:15.650 wouldn't be shocked. And the main reason I wouldn't be 0:16:15.690 --> 0:16:18.470 shocked is no one has seen him. It is the 0:16:18.670 --> 0:16:22.130 Jesse Kelly show on a wonderful Friday. Let's get back 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.460 to them. Because like I said, there are so many. Hey, Jesse, 0:16:24.500 --> 0:16:28.840 why hasn't Trump stopped remittances to foreign countries from illegals 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.560 in this country? It seems like it would be a 0:16:31.620 --> 0:16:33.750 great way to get a lot of them to leave 0:16:33.830 --> 0:16:37.310 on their own. Okay, so let's touch on this real quick. 0:16:38.190 --> 0:16:40.220 You know what a remittance is. I already know you know. 0:16:40.580 --> 0:16:42.860 Remittance is, you know, you're a foreigner, you're here, you 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.420 earn money, and you send that money back to where 0:16:45.460 --> 0:16:48.760 you're from, right? So you're here, you're from Mexico, but 0:16:48.780 --> 0:16:51.239 you're here, you're working, you send the money back to Mexico. 0:16:51.500 --> 0:16:53.480 You're here, you're from India, you're working, but you send 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.729 that money back to India. That's a remittance, right? And 0:16:57.410 --> 0:17:01.010 many people have proposed this as a solution. Hey, why 0:17:01.030 --> 0:17:02.630 don't we stop this? Why don't we stop this? Trump 0:17:02.670 --> 0:17:06.619 should stop this. Okay. I also like this solution, but 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.959 there are a couple massive obstacles we have to be 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:11.980 clear-eyed about. We'll only spend a minute on this and 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.260 move on to other questions. The first obstacle is this. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.550 I have brought this up before as it pertains to 0:17:19.690 --> 0:17:23.450 India and Mexico specifically because they're two of the biggest ones, 0:17:23.950 --> 0:17:27.369 but they are not at all, not at all the 0:17:27.510 --> 0:17:31.780 only ones. This idea, or this truth, because it is 0:17:31.820 --> 0:17:37.880 the truth. There are countries all over the world, and 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.260 part of the economy of that country they rely on, 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:47.000 a critical part of the economy they rely on, is 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:51.239 money sent from America back to that country. If you 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.990 were looking at Mexico, I'll use Mexico. If you're looking 0:17:56.010 --> 0:18:01.800 at Mexico, Mexico's top three industries are oil, tourism, drugs. 0:18:01.820 --> 0:18:05.179 I'm not making that up. Oil, tourism, drugs. Those are 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.840 Mexico's top three industries. So if you're in the Mexican government, 0:18:10.740 --> 0:18:13.420 you're budgeting for the next year with taxes and spending, 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.220 and we're going to build these roads and whatever, but 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.010 You are banking on, and I don't know what these 0:18:19.090 --> 0:18:21.770 numbers look like inside, obviously, and I'm sure it's not 0:18:21.830 --> 0:18:24.810 listed as drugs, but you're banking on a certain, hey, 0:18:24.869 --> 0:18:27.369 tourism's going to bring in this, and oil's going to 0:18:27.410 --> 0:18:29.290 bring in this, and how much are we getting from 0:18:29.310 --> 0:18:36.750 the ganja? It's baked in. That's part of your economy, right? Now, 0:18:38.020 --> 0:18:40.060 what if you get a knock on the door, you're 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:46.990 the Mexican president, and someone says, hey, El Padre, We're 0:18:47.020 --> 0:18:50.660 not going to get any oil money next year. That 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:58.859 wouldn't be a rough conversation. That's a national crisis for Mexico. Honestly, 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:03.040 if it's bad enough, depending on what the number looks like. 0:19:03.490 --> 0:19:06.850 You could be talking about the collapse of the state itself. Now, 0:19:06.990 --> 0:19:11.050 what would Mexico do if that was the case? They'd 0:19:11.090 --> 0:19:14.350 be burning up the phones, all hands on deck. We 0:19:14.390 --> 0:19:17.470 got to get this fixed. Oh, my God. It would 0:19:17.510 --> 0:19:20.010 be the end of the world. Oh, my gosh. The 0:19:20.050 --> 0:19:24.150 sky is falling. That's what they'd be saying, right? Now, 0:19:25.290 --> 0:19:28.910 I already mentioned countries like Mexico, India, and others. They 0:19:28.970 --> 0:19:35.149 rely on these remittances. Large quantities of these remittances because 0:19:35.190 --> 0:19:38.920 it's part of their economy. The Trump administration is already 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:43.160 taking steps like stopping the H-1B fraud and things like that. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.850 Excellent steps. Wonderful steps. I'm just so thrilled by it. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:52.270 You know those phones are already blowing up. When they 0:19:52.310 --> 0:19:56.990 called out Microsoft by name yesterday, when they listed by 0:19:57.109 --> 0:20:00.470 name these tech companies who were officially cut off and 0:20:00.550 --> 0:20:02.770 no more, did you think that at the end of 0:20:02.790 --> 0:20:05.650 that press conference that was the end of it? No, no, no, no, no. 0:20:05.890 --> 0:20:08.020 By the time the cameras were turned off at that 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:13.650 press conference yesterday, wealthy, powerful people, foreign and domestic, were 0:20:13.810 --> 0:20:16.650 burning up the phone lines to the White House. What 0:20:16.690 --> 0:20:18.449 are we doing? We have to fix this. Can we 0:20:18.470 --> 0:20:25.379 have a meeting? A complete freak out. Now, back to 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.540 your question. We're not just cut off remittances. I want 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:33.020 us to. This is not me saying we shouldn't. Do 0:20:33.060 --> 0:20:36.149 you have any idea what would happen? It would be 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.359 an international incident, probably, if he did it. So that 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.159 is part of the hesitation. The other part of the 0:20:43.220 --> 0:20:48.460 hesitation is this. I know there's a way to do it. 0:20:49.380 --> 0:20:51.690 I know there's a way to do it, but if 0:20:51.750 --> 0:20:56.030 you want the government to stop people sending money overseas, 0:20:57.130 --> 0:21:00.850 what you're saying is you want the government to be 0:21:00.930 --> 0:21:03.450 able to look at everyone's account and where they send money? 0:21:05.250 --> 0:21:10.510 If If I wire Jewish producer Chris $ 25 for some, 0:21:10.990 --> 0:21:14.449 because he's making me some bagels, do I want the 0:21:14.470 --> 0:21:17.689 government to know about that? Is it okay for the 0:21:17.730 --> 0:21:22.320 government to know about that? You run into, now that 0:21:22.340 --> 0:21:25.160 was obviously just a little ham-fisted analogy, but you run 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:30.520 into some civil liberties questions with that that are very valid. Okay, 0:21:30.540 --> 0:21:34.640 so what if my boy James is about to graduate? 0:21:35.710 --> 0:21:37.790 What if he wants to go study abroad? He doesn't. 0:21:38.010 --> 0:21:39.780 But what if he wants to go study abroad? Dad, 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.760 I'm going to Germany to study. All right. What if 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.260 I wire James money? Oh, you can say, well, you're 0:21:47.300 --> 0:21:50.340 not an illegal. Okay. Is the government going to get 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.820 a heads up every time I wire James money? And 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.730 then I get my citizenship questioned every time I wire James? 0:21:56.750 --> 0:22:00.310 Do you see what I mean? It's more complicated than 0:22:00.330 --> 0:22:02.470 you think it is. All right. Let's move on. Hey, Jesse. 0:22:03.550 --> 0:22:06.950 I live in San Diego, California, and everyone came unglued 0:22:07.430 --> 0:22:11.130 when Trump made the comments that mentioned San Diego and L.A. 0:22:11.730 --> 0:22:13.970 as if he was giving permission for Iran to bomb 0:22:14.010 --> 0:22:17.600 our cities. Every Democrat politician here in our city felt 0:22:17.619 --> 0:22:20.000 they had to make a comment. Every Republican running for 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:24.200 Congress spoke out about it. It's really sad. Is there 0:22:24.340 --> 0:22:27.090 any point in trying to explain it to them, or 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.570 should I just let them be wrong in their own 0:22:29.670 --> 0:22:34.369 crazy world? feeling frustrated but safe in San Diego. All right. 0:22:35.990 --> 0:22:39.770 This is not obviously just about that. This is about 0:22:40.090 --> 0:22:46.340 all the times your liberal Aunt Peggy believes something totally bonkers. Listen, 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:53.480 these people, they reside in a world of make-believe, And 0:22:53.660 --> 0:22:56.600 even the ones who don't reside in a world of make-believe, 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.500 let's say you're a Democrat politician. You mentioned San Diego 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.340 because that was one of the cities Trump mentioned. If 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.850 you're a Democrat politician in San Diego, even if you 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.310 watch the tape and even if you understand that's not 0:23:08.350 --> 0:23:10.609 what he meant and was very clearly not what he's saying, 0:23:11.690 --> 0:23:16.550 you have to remember that for Democrat politicians, it's always 0:23:16.810 --> 0:23:21.379 on their mind. that ranting against Trump is the safest, 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:25.560 most popular thing you can do with your base. It 0:23:25.660 --> 0:23:27.720 is baked in. In the same way, if you're a 0:23:27.740 --> 0:23:32.130 Republican right now, in 2026, the safest thing you can 0:23:32.150 --> 0:23:34.750 do that will get you applause from your base is 0:23:34.810 --> 0:23:38.629 deport foreigners. It just is. It's the ultimate winner. It's 0:23:38.710 --> 0:23:41.300 one of those things where if you've got yourself in trouble, 0:23:41.670 --> 0:23:44.720 some sort of a scandal, they found some gold bars 0:23:44.780 --> 0:23:46.540 under your bed or something like that. You might end 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.020 up going to prison, but you know what you need 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.780 to do next? Deport some more foreigners. It's just a guarantee. 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.560 It's a guaranteed win because it's what your base wants. 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:58.080 It's what the overwhelming percentage of the Republican base wants. 0:23:58.460 --> 0:24:00.760 On the flip side, if you're a Democrat, we've brought 0:24:00.780 --> 0:24:03.460 it up a million times on the show. Poll after 0:24:03.500 --> 0:24:07.070 poll after poll after poll after poll. shows that Democrats, 0:24:07.130 --> 0:24:10.899 the average everyday Democrat, your liberal Aunt Peggy, is so 0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:15.000 mentally broken. She is so shattered. She has been so 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:18.740 propagandized that Donald Trump is the Antichrist. And she can't 0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.330 even lay out exactly why she feels that way. But 0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:25.350 she is so sure that he's the end. It's Nazi Germany. 0:24:25.410 --> 0:24:28.270 It's all the other stupid things that what she wants 0:24:28.310 --> 0:24:31.469 to hear out of your mouth at all times is 0:24:31.490 --> 0:24:33.280 what you're going to do to stop him. Stop Trump. 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:34.800 Stop Trump. Stop Trump. What are we going to do 0:24:34.820 --> 0:24:37.179 to stop Trump? Can we impeach him? But that's too 0:24:37.220 --> 0:24:39.240 bad he didn't die. This is how these people talk. 0:24:41.550 --> 0:24:45.510 So if you're a Democrat politician, honestly, you know that 0:24:45.609 --> 0:24:50.469 Chuck Schumer, I bet you he likes Trump. I know 0:24:50.490 --> 0:24:52.959 you're going to think I'm crazy, but those two have 0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:56.920 had a long relationship before Trump became the Republican nominee 0:24:56.980 --> 0:24:59.119
