That's what we're 34 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 6: learning today is that the guy didn't even slow down, 35 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 6: did not apply the brakes at right. 36 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: But did you see the dash cam in in full 37 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 2: motion or do they slow it down in both? Okay, 38 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,639 Speaker 2: but they when they slow it down, it doesn't mean anything. 39 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: You got to watch it in real speed, exactly exactly. 40 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 6: And I can't imagine being somebody on the road next 41 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 6: to this guy or even in front of this guy. 42 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: It was incredible. But what we're. 43 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 6: Learning about the actual driver is that he's an illegal immigrant. 44 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 6: No no, he is from India. 45 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: Lives in Yuba City, which is where near Arizona and 46 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: California Mexico area. 47 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 6: No, no, no, Uba City is in northern California, about one 48 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 6: hundred some odd miles. 49 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: Oh, that's Umah, that's Yuma, that's Uma. Yeah. 50 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 6: What we know is that he came across the bord 51 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 6: and was apprehended by border patrol in twenty twenty two, 52 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 6: and then he was released pending the outcome of his 53 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 6: case and drove up to Uba City, lives there, apparently 54 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 6: lived a nice life as friends and things, and then 55 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 6: got a commercial driver's license and started driving truck to 56 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 6: make a buck. 57 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: Right, And you can do that when you're here illegally. 58 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 2: They can get all the paperwork done, the background check 59 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: and everything. 60 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 6: And so the Newsome administration will argue that if you 61 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 6: are if you meet federal and state immigration requirements of 62 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 6: some kind. So he gets detained at the border and 63 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 6: then is compliant into whatever they want, whatever they need, 64 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 6: and then you're released into the country and then you 65 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 6: can go and you can apply for a work visas 66 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 6: and things like that. So this is what's happening in California. 67 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 6: You don't have to speak English to get a commercial 68 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 6: truck drivers, thank god, thank god. 69 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: Right. 70 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 6: So, so, and this is what Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, 71 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 6: is saying, Hey, this is this is not good for anybody. 72 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 6: Because the truck drivers they cross state lines and they 73 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 6: come back and forth and they and they can they 74 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 6: can really do some damage. This has actually happened in 75 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 6: Florida a couple of days ago, illegal truck driver from 76 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 6: India caused a crash, killed three people. 77 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: There, the guy that made the U turn correct on 78 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 2: the turnpike there. 79 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 6: And then there was another crash in Indiana where some 80 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 6: people died, where there was another illegal truck driver or 81 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 6: illegal immigrant truck driver. So a lot of these things. 82 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 6: So Sean Duffy is holding with holding forty million dollars 83 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 6: in federal funds from California from Yes, from California until 84 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 6: they change this. Hey, you have to speak English in 85 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 6: order to get a commercial truck driver's license. Wow, But 86 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 6: nobody is answering the question. I've contacted Newsom's office, contacted 87 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 6: Department of Homeland Security to contacted. 88 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: Department of DMV. They didn't get back. 89 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 6: Nobody gets back to me, you know, and because you're 90 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 6: asking the question, hey, how did this guy number one? 91 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: Why is he still here? 92 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 6: How come he's not, you know, in processing somewhere or 93 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 6: some detention center of some kind because he crossed the 94 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 6: border illegally.

But evidently he's all hopped up on drugs 127 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: or alcohol. 128 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 6: So he's facing several charges. Right, so dui which could 129 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 6: be alcohol or drugs, It doesn't it doesn't discriminate vehicular manslaughter. 130 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 6: And then there are so there are also some drug charges, 131 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 6: but we don't exactly know what those are. So when 132 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 6: he's in court, we're expected to learn more about that 133 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 6: kind of. 134 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: You know, as George Carlin calls guys like this life's 135 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: most interesting guys. You know, I mean guys that just 136 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: go for it on every single level. You know, you 137 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 2: would think with like, you're not a resident of France, 138 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: are you? 139 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 7: No? 140 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: Okay, Let's say you try to sneak into France and 141 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: you got yourself a job. Imagine you know, you're sneak 142 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: into France, you got a job as a truck driver, 143 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: and then you decide, well, I'm also going to get 144 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: bombed as a truck driver while I'm here on a 145 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: visa or here illegally and fly on the highways of 146 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: southern California. It doesn't seem like the smartest choice. It 147 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: doesn't seem like, yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. I think 148 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 2: you've crystallized my thoughts. Unbelievable. So this is a big 149 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: story though. This is you know, this story and the 150 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: NBA story.

Sean Duffy's out there talking. So this kind 155 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 6: of thing is really going to catch fire, and it 156 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 6: really fuels the Republican narrative that you know, these people 157 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 6: don't belong here, illegal immigrants, should not be any schirt. 158 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: Right.

Forty million dollars, right, how does California 160 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: reactivate that that money? 161 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 6: Well, they would have to comply and they would have 162 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 6: to change their commercial truck driver's license protocol. 163 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: Right, And do you do you have to be a citizen, 164 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: you have to speak English. 165 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 6: Have to be a citizen have to speak English in 166 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 6: order to be issued a commercial truck driver's license. 167 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: I see, okay, all right, so a poker room and 168 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: truck drivers the only time you can yell at him 169 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: English homely apparently, so, yes, that is correct, funny. 170 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: Thank you first, thanks for coming on. 171 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: Appreciate it, man, no problem, all right, that is right.
