That was a 44 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 8: quotation attributed to Tom Homan. The borders are He was 45 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 8: on CNN with Dana Bash when he told her that 46 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 8: ICE will enforce immigration laws. 47 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 9: What is happening as we speak, is limited to those 48 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 9: with criminal records. 49 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 6: That's a target of this operation. Like I said many times, 50 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 6: in places like sanctuary cities, where we can't arrest a 51 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 6: bad person in the jail, we would like to have 52 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 6: access to the jail to arrest the criminal alien in 53 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 6: the safety and security of the county jail, which is 54 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 6: safer for the community, safer for the officers for the alien. 55 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 6: But when you release a public safety threat of sanctuary 56 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 6: jail and won't give us access to him, that means 57 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 6: we got to go to the neighborhood and find him, 58 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 6: and we will find him. But when we find him, 59 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 6: he may be with others. Others that don't have a 60 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 6: criminal conviction are in the country legally, they will be 61 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 6: arrested too, because we're not going to struck. And this 62 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 6: is the difference between the last administration and this administration. 63 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 6: ICE is going to force the immigration law. There's nothing 64 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 6: in the I in a immigration nationality I says you 65 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 6: got to be convicted of a serious crime in order 66 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 6: to be removed from this country. So there's going to 67 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 6: be more collabal ar rest in Santory cities could because 68 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 6: they forced us to go in the community and find 69 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 6: and find the guy we're looking for. 70 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 9: Let me just make sure that I understand what you're saying, 71 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 9: because at first she said that the first targets are 72 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 9: those with criminal records, But you are also saying that 73 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 9: those who are undocumented in the US also who don't 74 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 9: have criminal records, people who are working in their communities, 75 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 9: maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could 76 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 9: be swept up with today as well. 77 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 6: What I'm telling you is, when we go find that 78 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 6: priority tiger, which is a criminal alien, if he's were 79 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 6: with the others in the United States illegally, we're going 80 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 6: to take enforcement action against them.

Because in 86 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 9: some cases you know this far better than I, they 87 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 9: haven't been deported in the past because their country of 88 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 9: origin won't take them. 89 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 6: Well, what happens after the rest they're taken into an 90 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 6: ICE office and their process and put in detention. While 91 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 6: they're in an attention, ICE officers work on travel documents. 92 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 6: The whost countries since travel documents saying yeah, this is 93 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 6: our citizen, this is our national then we make flightor 94 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 6: race risks. So they could be an attention from a 95 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 6: few days for a few weeks until that remove was 96 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 6: made happen. 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 9: What if the host country doesn't want them, as has 98 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 9: happened in the recent past. 99 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 6: We have various plans.

Absolutely, one of the very first 188 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 10: things that we educate people is what are your rights 189 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 10: when you are encountering an ice agent or even just 190 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 10: law enforcement. Most of the time when people encounter or 191 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 10: ice agents, it's usually seventy to seventy five percent of 192 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 10: immigration arrests happen after a law enforcement arrest. So the 193 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 10: most average immigrant in the United States is not out 194 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 10: committing crimes, but if they were in a collateral situation 195 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 10: at the wrong place at the wrong time, we usually 196 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 10: advise them to know whether it to identify. At least 197 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 10: if there is a judicial warrant that is presented that 198 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 10: is signed by a judge, issued in a state court 199 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 10: or a federal district court that basically gives federal agents 200 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 10: the authority whether they consent or not to enter the 201 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 10: United States. That document can be slipped under the door, 202 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 10: pressed against the window if it's an administrative document that 203 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 10: says Department of Homeland Security on it, they can say 204 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 10: I do not consent to you entering my home. They 205 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 10: can say I would like to speak to an attorney. 206 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 10: There's a lot of things that we teach and share 207 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 10: with the community so that they can best protect themselves 208 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 10: and maintain family unity. If there is an unfortunate situation 209 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 10: where an arrest does happen, we make ourselves available immediately 210 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 10: to help out. 211 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 8: New York Mayor Eric Adams spoke with Tucker Carlson, stating 212 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 8: that he believes he was targeted by Biden's Department of 213 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 8: Justice in retaliation for his criticism of illegal immigration.

It was causing crimes, 220 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 8: it was causing his budget to burst at the seams. 221 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 8: It was unmanageable, and he spoke out about it and 222 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 8: that that will not be tolerated. 223 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 11: Because you complained about allowing ten hundreds of thousands of 224 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 11: illegals from foreign nationals who have no right to be 225 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 11: here to come to your city and you have to 226 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 11: pay for it, and you complained. 227 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: Diamond was punishment for complaining. 228 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 7: So that is that is clearly my belief, and based 229 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 7: on several aspects of it that I can't go into detail, 230 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 7: but there are other aspects of it that shows me that, 231 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 7: you know, I was targeted because of that. 232 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: So if we could just walk through and leave out 233 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: the parts. 234 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 11: You can't talk about, of course, but this happens at 235 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 11: the beginning of the Biden administration, which is close to 236 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 11: the beginning of your administration. 237 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: All these foreig nationals start showing up in New York. 238 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: They have no money, they have no jobs, they have no. 239 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 11: Place to stay, and you have to deal with them, 240 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 11: and the taxpayers here have to deal with them. 241 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 2: So you go to Washington.

He has swept into office with a massive mandate. 310 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 8: CNN is reporting. This is CNN. So if they're reporting 311 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 8: the majority of Americans approve of mass deportation and they 312 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 8: want less immigration, they want less illegal immigration. 313 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: Guess what they want less legal immigration. 314 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 8: That's your visas, that's your tourists who come and overstayed there. 315 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 8: Welcome Americans feel displaced, and guess what, it's not just 316 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 8: white Americans. It's not just white Americans. This is actually 317 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 8: being reported on CNN. 318 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Deport all immigrants here illegally. I will note the ABC 319 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: News Paul ask about undocumented immigrants, so we have slightly 320 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: different questions, but these were all taken within the last 321 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: month and. 322 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: There's real uniformity here. That's what I really think. 323 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 5: You see. 324 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: You see really uniformity all immigrants who are here illegally 325 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: fifty five percent of New York Times Marquette sixty four percent, 326 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: CBS News fifty ABC News with a slightly different question 327 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: fifty six percent. So what you're seeing essentially here is 328 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact, 329 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: when they're asked this one question, which I believe gets 330 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: that the underlying feelings, do in fact want to port 331 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: all immigrants who are here illegally. 332 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: There's no arguing with these different numbers. 333 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: Because they're all essentially the same across four different posters. 334 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 5: So if they say yes today, ish, how. 335 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 2: Has that changed over time? 336 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where I think you get very interesting. 337 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: And so we'll take a look at that ABC News 338 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: question in particular, because you can really see that there's 339 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: been a massive shift from when Trump was first getting 340 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: into office eight years ago right to port all undocumented immigrants. 341 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: You go back to twenty fifteen, I'm gonna go to 342 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: your SETUS screen forty two percent. Hell up, go to 343 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, it was thirty six percent. 344 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: Look at where we are now. 345 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: This was taken at the end of last year fifty 346 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: six percent. This is twenty points higher than it was 347 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: just before Trump gote to office the first time. So 348 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: feelings towards immigration in this country, feelings towards undocumented immigrants 349 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: and deporting all of them, have become considerably more hawkish, 350 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: and I think that gives Donald Trump much more leverage 351 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: to go with the American people and sort of have 352 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: these hawkish some might say harsh different rhetoric and also 353 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: issue based sort of going after immigrants who are here illegally. 354 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: And so I think the American people are going to 355 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt to do 356 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: what he wants to do, at least if you believe 357 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: these blunk questions, including this one. How about immigration levels, Yeah, okay, 358 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: so this sort of COEs in line with that right, 359 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: which is again trying to get the underlying feelings want 360 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: immigration levels decrease. This includes legal and illegal immigration. Look 361 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: at this last year fifty five percent. That is the 362 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: highest level since the nine to eleven aftermath, you go 363 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: back just. 364 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 12: To twenty and again legal and legal goals. So they 365 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 12: want people, want less people coming into the country exactly. 366 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: They want less people coming into the country. Look at that, 367 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: that's a fourteen point rise from twenty twenty three. You 368 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: go back to twenty sixteen, when Donald Trump again was 369 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: running for president the first time, thirty eight percent. 370 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: That's a seventeen point rise. 371 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: So the bottom line is more folks want people who 372 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: are here illegally deported, and their overall feelings towards immigration 373 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: have become considerably more hawkish since Donald Trump was first 374 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: getting in office. 375 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 8: People are tired of having their cars stolen. They're tired 376 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 8: of being smashed into by someone that refuses to speak 377 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 8: English during the exchange and give insurance because they don't 378 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 8: have any. They're tired of having their cars and their 379 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 8: homes broken into. They're tired of people they know being 380 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 8: raped or murdered by illegal aliens. They are tired of 381 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 8: the protests. They're tired of not being able to pass 382 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 8: on the road to work because these people are out 383 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 8: in the road protesting for more free stuff. They're tired 384 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 8: of the attitude. They're tired of the headache. People are 385 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 8: sick of it. And it's your country. You get to 386 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 8: be sick of it. 387 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: You know what else? 388 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 8: People are tired of folks being hired, admitted, promoted, paid, more, rewarded, 389 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 8: honored on the basis of something other than merit hard 390 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 8: to believe our government HADDI programs. But those DEI programs 391 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 8: are going to d i E. President Trump ended the 392 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 8: de I programs in the federal government as of the 393 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 8: end of today, and MSNBC's Joy Read and Eli or 394 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 8: Elie Misstall both dee I hires, may I say, are 395 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 8: worried about what this means for the transgender prisoners. 396 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 2: I'm not even joking. 397 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 12: He was very excited about the antiversity, equity and inclusion 398 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 12: initials in the federal government. 399 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: It was the impact. Yeah, so that's obviously very bad. 400 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 12: It's it's particularly evil to I always think of female prisoners, 401 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 12: people who are incoucerated, who have you know, changed, who 402 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 12: have transitioned. Awording, according to this, you're going to take 403 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 12: trans women and put them in male prisons. 404 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: Hold on just a moment, Hold on just a moment. 405 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 8: How many people do we have who've transitioned who are 406 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 8: in prison. It's a very small number of people who've 407 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 8: transitioned in this country. So how many of those people 408 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 8: are in prison? And what does that say about them? 409 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 8: You start looking at the Department of Justice Criminal data 410 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 8: and who's committing crimes. You know, they'll tell you that 411 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 8: transgender people are scared in this country. They're scared of 412 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 8: being attacked because so many transgender people are assaulted or murdered. 413 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 8: But when you actually look into who is committing the murder, 414 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 8: it is another similar person or their lover. If you 415 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 8: actually look into how many of them commit crimes, including 416 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 8: against each other or on their lover, those numbers are 417 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 8: also freakishly high. 418 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: But they're really. 419 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 8: Worried about DEI because a man who wants to go 420 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 8: to prison but not be in the men's unit, wants 421 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 8: to be in the women's unit. Who says I'm a girl, 422 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 8: And we're seeing case after case when this happens that 423 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 8: they go over there and then they impregnate one of 424 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 8: the women there. 425 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: It's a game. What do we think is going to 426 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: happen to them there? Yeah, that's not going to be 427 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: a good day. 428 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 9: Yeah. 429 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 12: So I think that this is a thing that has 430 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 12: real impacts. There's also a real obvious equal protection challenge 431 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 12: and so again Trump. 432 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 2: Will do this, he will be sued. 433 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 12: This is one of the ones that could be not 434 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 12: completely stop delayed but there will be people who suffer. 435 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 7: Unconscionable pain rather Nicky Gilly and the girls all get 436 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 7: pretty close in time when you're listening to the Michael 437 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 7: Berry Show. 438 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 8: Since we were talking about DEEI hires and people put 439 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 8: into positions for reasons other than merit. Did you see 440 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 8: the mayor of Philadelphia, Charrelle Parker. She's the new mayor there. Philadelphia, 441 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 8: like most major cities in America, has real problems right now. 442 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 8: And the big reason is you've got challenges in those cities. 443 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 8: You've got serious crime, you've got legal immigration coming into there, 444 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 8: You've got operational deficiencies and failures. You've got people being 445 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 8: elected on the basis running for office on the basis 446 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 8: of black people vote for me, and you've got enough 447 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 8: blacks that are willing to do it that they can 448 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 8: elect a mayor. I mean, look at Karen Bass in 449 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 8: Los Angeles. When you're elected on the basis of elect 450 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 8: me because I'm black. You've accomplished everything you set. 451 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 2: Out to do on day one. So now what do 452 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 2: you do? Well? 453 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 8: You reward the people who supported you often on that basis, 454 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 8: and you don't have any qualification to do anything running 455 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 8: a city is difficult. Municipal governments where the rubber hits 456 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 8: the road. Most governing that's done in this country is 457 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 8: not done at the federal level. It's done at the 458 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 8: local level. That's where you're policing your fire, your streets, 459 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 8: your water, your sanitation. I know, I was the mayor 460 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 8: pro tema city of Houston. 461 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 2: I loved it. 462 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 8: If you are a policy wonk, if you love the 463 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 8: concept of service delivery, it's a dream job because you get. 464 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: To solve problems. 465 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 8: It's less true at the state, but at least that's 466 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 8: where your big roads in those kind of projects, you 467 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 8: move your people. That's excited. At the federal government level, 468 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 8: you've got your military, but there's very little actual governing 469 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 8: going on. You send out Social Security checks, you send 470 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 8: some vouchers, but you're mostly just deciding which local and 471 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 8: state governments are going to get the big chunks to change. 472 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 8: But the actual doing of the work that's at the 473 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 8: local level. And what we have in this country tragically 474 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 8: is a lot of people who ran for office and 475 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 8: successfully one on the basis of vote for me because 476 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 8: I'm black. And we've seen this, we have seen what 477 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 8: has happened to major cities in America. We had, by 478 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 8: far the dumbest and most brash member of the United 479 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 8: States Congress run for mayor of the city of Houston 480 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 8: this past November, Sheila Jackson Lee. 481 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 2: She lost, but she made it to a runoff. 482 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 8: She passed sadly a few months later of pancreatic cancer. 483 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 8: We still have a Democrat mayor, but he's far more 484 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 8: conservative than she would have been, and we would have 485 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 8: lost firefighters and police officers and more residents. The white 486 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 8: flight of major cities has now been accompanied by the 487 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 8: flight of Blacks, Hispanics, families. People getting out of the cities, 488 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 8: going out in the suburban and if it's possible, getting 489 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 8: out in the rural areas. Retirees just don't stay in 490 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 8: cities anymore whereas they used to. Cities used to have 491 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 8: a lot to offer you. They had so many amenities. 492 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 8: You have parks, what have those become? Drug dealing havens, 493 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 8: prostitution havens.
