It's interesting to me to. 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: Think about that tune that one of the most cited 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 3: news stories of the week was President Trump's statement. 8 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: After a movie director was killed, Rob b Reiner, as 9 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: if that was important, As if the president's comment was 10 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: important if he said he liked the Buffalo Bills more 11 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: than the Philadelphia Eagles, would that be important? Forty nine 12 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: ers over the Ravens important? Why is that so important? 13 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: Because we've created a whole cottage industry of outrage and 14 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: Republicans aren't imne from it. We've created and social media 15 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: has allowed this, it has enabled, it has empowered it 16 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: a situation where everybody gets to jump up and go 17 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: here's my opinion on the issue of the day. I'm 18 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: a b rate actor, I'm a former CNN anchor, I'm 19 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: a former senator, I'm a former Vice president, and I 20 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: condemn President Trump's comments on the death of Rob Reiner. 21 00:01:52,040 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: Duly noted, I was wondering what your thoughts were Why 22 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: does everybody feel they need to have an opinion on 23 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: everybody else's opinion. Donald Trump got slammed by Rob Reiner, 24 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: constantly calling him the nastiest of names. Donald Trump didn't 25 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: like him, and he said so even in death. He 26 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: didn't like him. But Michael, when somebody dies, you're supposed 27 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: to say they were great. You didn't do that with 28 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: Osama bin Laden. That's not the same thing. Why isn't it. 29 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: Why not you didn't do that with Hitler? You don't. 30 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Nobody says, well, give Hitler a credit. At least he 31 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: killed Hitler, do they? Nobody gives Hitler credit? Should they? 32 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: He's dead? Don't speak ill of him? He's dead. No, 33 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: he performed bad deeds. Nobody says, well, you know Ted 34 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: Bundy all in all, good looking guy, made better looking 35 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: when Mark Harmon played him in the made for TV 36 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: special Law Judge said he would have made a good 37 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: lawyer if he hadn't, you know, messed up so bad. 38 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: Stop getting sucked into the trap that you need to 39 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: defend everything, Donald Trump says, because you don't. And the 40 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: people doing that, you know what they're doing. They're undercutting 41 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: the authority of Donald Trump. Do you know what Donald 42 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: Trump's authority is. He won seven swing states. He trounced 43 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris in the election. The American people said we 44 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: want him to be president. They did not say we 45 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: want him to issue all statements on the death of 46 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: left wing directors. They did not say we love the 47 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: clothes he wears, or the way he combs his hair, 48 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: or the way he the cut of his jib, or 49 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: the way he ties his tie or the way he 50 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: plays golf. They elected him to be president. They gave 51 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: him an incredible power. They don't expect him to be perfect. 52 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Nobody cares what he says about Rob Reiner, and the 53 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: only people who do are people who want to undercut 54 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: every other aspect of his presidency.

But there's a 121 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: white liberal running in second place who was the heir apparent, 122 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: the Little Beto, the Betito. He is her opponent in 123 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: the upcoming primary. He's a touch more polished than her. 124 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Think Gavin Newsom and Beto O'Rourke had a child while 125 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: having a threesome with Pete Buttergig and you'll come up 126 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: with James Tallerico. He was on a web series called 127 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: The Surrounded when he said he's against amnesty for illegals 128 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: because that way the conservative Democrats, a few that there 129 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: are working class Democrats go oh, he's against it, all right. 130 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: He said he's against it, and then he proceeded to 131 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: lay out an amnesty plan. This is what they do. 132 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to just give a bunch of money 133 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: to people who don't work. What I want to do 134 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: is and then they talk about how they're going to 135 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: give away a bunch of money to people who don't work. 136 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 9: I will say what I think. Not enough Democrats have 137 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 9: been willing to say. Joe Biden failed us on our 138 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 9: southern borter. I believe in porters, yeah, and I don't 139 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 9: believe in amnesty. Let's take the vargases. We were talking 140 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 9: about how they are sympathetic hardworking small business owners in 141 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 9: our community. They've been here for decades. There needs to 142 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 9: be a path to citizenship that is not the same 143 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 9: thing as amnesty, because you're right, path no, and that's 144 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 9: the problem. We've got millions of people who are living 145 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 9: here in the shadows, and there is no path for 146 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 9: them to actually come into compliance, which I want them 147 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 9: to do. I'm a law and order democrat. I believe 148 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 9: that laws matter and there's be consequences for breaking the 149 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 9: law out Okay, So here's what I will say, Tyler. 150 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 9: We do recognize in our legal system, but there are 151 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 9: different punishments for different kinds of offenses. There are civil 152 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 9: offenses like being here without documentation. There are criminal offenses 153 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 9: like murdering raping someone, and those things are treated differently, 154 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 9: and so in my mind, and again I'm open to 155 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 9: negotiating how the details work, but there needs to be 156 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 9: in broad strokes, a pathway to citizenship where they pay 157 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 9: a fine for being here without documentation or crossing the 158 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 9: border illegally. 159 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: There should be some penalty for that. I'm not disagreeing. 160 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: They should also have to pay back taxes. 161 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 9: Again, immigrants, documented demigrants in particular pay a lot of 162 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 9: taxes and don't get benefits in return, but they may 163 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 9: be missing some of those taxes because they weren't citizens. 164 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 9: They need to pay those back taxes and they need 165 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 9: to go through the citizenship process. They got to take 166 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 9: the learn about our government, They got to learn about 167 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 9: our culture. All that is so important. If they do 168 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 9: all those things and they've been here a long time 169 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 9: and they've been contributing, I think they should be brought 170 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 9: in this so. 171 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: They go through the they need to go through the 172 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: immigration process. 173 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 5: But then you just told me a minute ago that 174 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 5: there is no immigration process that they can't become. 175 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm talking about creating one. So while James Tolerrigo is 176 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: repackaging himself for illegal aliens, the hood Rack Congressman continues 177 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: the fallacy that not all crimes are criminal. This is 178 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: Jazzy Jasmine Crockett, take it away. 179 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 10: I don't want anybody to mistake what I'm saying. Just 180 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 10: because you are impoverished does not mean that you will 181 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 10: be a criminal. But I do want to be clear 182 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 10: that there is a direct link between poverty and susceptibility 183 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 10: to having to engage in certain things. And this is 184 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 10: something that I know up quotes and personal as a 185 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 10: public defender. In fact, my elected prosecutor in Dallas County, 186 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 10: he kind of caught some flat because he probably shouldn't 187 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 10: have said it out loud, but he specifically said if 188 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 10: I get people that are getting charged with a low 189 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 10: level misdemeanor for going and still in food, diapers, like 190 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 10: basic necessities because they literally can't afford it. He's like, yeah, 191 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 10: He's like, I'm not locking you up, right, and granted, 192 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 10: like there is no good point in doing it because 193 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 10: a decent defense attorney would have a defense. Right that 194 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 10: there's a defense that we have on the book, so 195 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 10: we you know, go and try the case. Right, But 196 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 10: like most people didn't understand. They're like, oh, he telling 197 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 10: everybody to go steal. And I'm like, that's not what 198 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 10: he was doing, but like, okay, And so I want 199 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 10: people to understand that there are crimes that are committed 200 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 10: not because people are criminals, but because they literally are 201 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 10: trying to survive. 202 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, a Republican, is horrible with votes 203 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: but really good with quotes. In fact, a lot of 204 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: people think he's a good, solid conservative Republican because he 205 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: has clever quotes, But just look at how he votes 206 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: you'll be sadly disappointed. He was on Fox News with 207 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: Laura Trump when Jazzy Crockett's name came up, and he 208 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: says she needs to stop listening to the voices in 209 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: her head. He is good with the quotes. I give 210 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: him that break the billionaires. 211 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: I'm done, She's done. 212 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: Senator. 213 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 11: Is she done? 214 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: Is she cooked? 215 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 12: Is this going to happen? 216 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 13: What do you think? 217 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 14: Well, look, the Congress, this is a mirror Laura. As 218 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 14: you know, we all have the right to express our opinion. 219 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 14: You're not free if he can't say what you think. 220 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 14: And the congresswoman has the right to her opinion, but 221 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 14: I have the right to mine. And somebody needs to 222 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 14: tell the congresswoman it'll be in her best and need 223 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 14: to tell her that the voices in her head are 224 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 14: not real. She is wrong on every single issue. The 225 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 14: people of Texas will never embrace her message. I don't 226 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 14: know why she's doing this, but you know, you have 227 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 14: the right in America to do dumb things if you 228 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 14: want to, and she she will be leaving Congress and 229 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 14: as far as the other thirty folks that are leaving Congress, look, 230 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 14: I get it. I don't want anybody to be in Congress. 231 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 14: He doesn't want to be here. Because this stuff's working 232 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 14: for the America people. You've got to give it one 233 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 14: hundred and ten percent. So people are unhappy, you know, 234 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 14: don't let the door hit them on the butt on 235 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 14: the way out. 236 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: And listen to the Michael Berry Show. Good Not before 237 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: we turn our attention to ilhan Omar the Brother Marrier. 238 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi was asked during a USA Today interview what 239 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: her biggest career disappointment was, and she said, guns. 240 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 15: And what's been your biggest disappointment? My disappointment, I always 241 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 15: have it, I'll never give up on It is gun 242 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 15: a four guns, guns that children would be dying in 243 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 15: a classroom, that families, just the saddest thing. 244 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: But it's about two things. 245 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 15: That politicians should think that their political survival is more 246 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 15: important than their survival of children and families. 247 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: In our country, and that the gun industry. 248 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 15: I'm not talking about lobbyists here, I'm talking about the 249 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 15: gun industry with the endless big money just deciding that 250 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 15: they are going to have it their way at the 251 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 15: cost of lives in our country so they can make 252 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 15: a profit. And it's a global shoe too. And you 253 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 15: understand that guns are very a border issue as well, 254 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 15: but they don't care. They just care about making money. 255 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 15: So it's money and power and kids pay the price. 256 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 15: And then she should know the price. 257 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: She knows she's lying there. She knows it good and well. 258 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: Most crime that occurs in the United States occurs in 259 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: an urban environment, a big city, and especially gun crimes, 260 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: and most of those gun crimes are committed by felons, 261 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: by guys that have a long rap sheet. They've been 262 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: in and out of youth facilities and prisons since they 263 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: were ten, eleven, twelve years old, some of them with 264 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: a rap sheet of twenty thirty forty one hundred arrests 265 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: over the years. They've beaten up their baby mamas. They've 266 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: put a gun in somebody's face and stolen their car. 267 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: They've broken into houses, they've broken into businesses, uplifted, they've trespassed. 268 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: Many of them have served time, and when they get 269 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: out they are never allowed to own a gun again. 270 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: But they can't commit crimes without guns, so they come 271 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: into possession of guns, and then they're caught committing another crime. Boom, 272 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: that's a felon in possession. Now you've got him now, 273 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: regardless of the underlying crime. A felon in possession, there's 274 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: your crime to send him back to the cage where 275 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: he stays forever. If criminals feared that the commission of 276 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: a crime with a weapon would send them back to 277 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: prison for life. They would not do it. 278 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 11: I know. 279 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: The thought is, well, they're too stupid to know any better. No, no, no, 280 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: they know the laws, they know what they can get 281 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: away with. They learn, they pass information on the streets. 282 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: I have talked to more urban police departments, big city 283 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: municipal police departments, Houston Police Department, and officers across the country, 284 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: and they will tell you that when a bad guy 285 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: commits a crime with a gun, which they usually do, 286 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: they are a convicted felon, making them a felon in possession. 287 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: They cannot own a gun, they cannot possess a gun, 288 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: and that the district attorneys sorrows owned will not prosecute them. 289 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: There is your problem. Guns don't kill people. Bad people 290 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: kill people. And we all know this. We all know this, 291 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Every single one of us knows this. They don't want 292 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: to do anything about it. They have no interest in 293 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: doing anything about it. This doesn't concern them. They have 294 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: an interest in continuing to claim there's a problem. Look 295 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: at the border. Leave the Democrats out of this for 296 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: a moment. Republicans told you for decades we couldn't do 297 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: anything about the border. Reagan gave amnesty. You go back 298 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: and look at Reagan's comments when he gave amnesty to 299 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: millions of people. This was going to be the end 300 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: of it. Well, of course that wasn't the end of it. 301 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: If you want to look at outcomes, look at the incentives. 302 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: When you told people, hey, all the people that broke in, 303 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: they got to stay, what message do you think that conveyed, Oh, 304 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: we better go break him. We weren't rewarded for staying here. 305 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: The people who got to be citizens are the people 306 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: who broke in. We were following the law, staying here, 307 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: waiting our turn, and we didn't get in. Let's go 308 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: break in. That's what happens. Heck, that's been the case 309 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: since you were a kid. If bad behaviors are rewarded 310 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: and good behaviors are not, you will incentivize bad behaviors. 311 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: Every economist will tell you that incentives drive results. So 312 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: Republican congressman and senators for years would keep promising you, 313 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: we're going to secure that dad burned border. Democrats don't 314 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: want us to, but we're going to secure it. Trump 315 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: showed you could secure the border. Wasn't even that hard. 316 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: He did it overnight. Now what's happened. Now, what's happened? 317 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: We're not seeing Gilian's coming in here. He said he 318 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: was going to stop the Narco terrace. You didn't have 319 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: to bomb hundreds of them. They're not getting in that 320 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: boat knowing they're going to be blasted. There's no amount 321 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: of money they can give those people to convince them 322 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: to do it. But here we are, We're a year 323 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: into it, and other than Trump's executive orders, what do 324 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: we have to show for what we've done? Trump's approval 325 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: rating is forty three point seven at the eleven month mark. 326 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: Eleven month mark forty three point seven. Obama's at the 327 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: eleven month mark of his second term was forty two 328 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: point six. Bush at the eleven month mark of his 329 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: second term forty two point five. So Trump is more 330 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: popular at this point than either Obama or Bush, making 331 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: him the most popular president of the twenty first century 332 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: in his second term. But what have the Republicans done 333 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: with their majority in the House and the Senate? How 334 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: many of the activist judges have been impeached? 335 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 8: None? 336 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: National voter ID law, nothing, proof of citizenship law for 337 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: nationwide elections. Nothing. Abolishing the filibuster. Nothing. It can't even 338 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: censure ilan Omar, not that a censure would matter. Nothing. 339 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: Why did we work so hard to get this majority? 340 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: What have they done with it? Squandered it? Now they're 341 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: going to begin twenty twenty six campaigning that they will 342 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: do what they have done if you'll send them back, 343 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: good grief. If a woman stayed in the marriage with 344 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: a man who lied like this, we'd call her a fool. 345 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: This is embarrassing. Every single Republican should be a shoe. 346 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A 347 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: depression is when you lose your Michael Berry, and recovery 348 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: is when Jimmy Carter loses his ilan Omar is a 349 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: good representative of the Somalis in Mogadishue, Minnesota, because she 350 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: is a fraud and they have engaged in wide scale 351 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: fraud in Minnesota. In fact, when she was asked by 352 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: CBS News Minneapolis whether or not she had married her brother, 353 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: she was lying. Then everybody knows. 354 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 13: They came to the United States at the age of twelve, 355 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 13: gained my citizenship at the age of seventeen, and I 356 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 13: am like the representative in the House of Congress and 357 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 13: so the House. 358 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: Of Representatives in Congress. 359 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 12: And so for me, you know, I look at it 360 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 12: as a display of his ignorance, and I see it 361 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 12: as a national embarrassment that he continues to say those 362 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 12: kind of things even though he does know what the 363 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 12: truth is. 364 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: Yes, simply calling out the truth is a national embarrassment. 365 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: It's impolite. See, we're supposed to let it continue. But 366 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: what about the fraud. What about the fraud on such 367 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: a scale that it has to be a conspiracy. She 368 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: was on a podcast called Democracy Ish and she says 369 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: Trump has a creepy obsession with her and Somali's. No, 370 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: he has an obsession with protecting our country from a 371 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: cancer that has invaded. 372 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: The comments are are vile. 373 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 11: And you know, this unhealthy, creepy obsession that he has 374 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 11: on me and the Somali community is just very disturbing. 375 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 11: As probably your wife knows, Somali's are very much resilient 376 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 11: and strong people. And I saw you tweet about the 377 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 11: fact that you didn't know how humorous we would. 378 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: The troll game is amazing, Mashalla. The Somali troll game 379 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: is a plus. 380 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 2: So I mean, we we are we are coping with 381 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: mocking them back. 382 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 11: I mean, you know, you don't you don't allow the 383 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 11: words of a senile, draged person have an impact on you. 384 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 11: You know, we were raised from young age that you 385 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 11: don't allow bullies to get to you. And you know, 386 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 11: to us, it's just it's it's ridiculous, Like it's hard 387 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 11: to make sense of. We feel embarrassed for him and 388 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 11: for America. 389 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: Uh. 390 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: This is supposed to be the leader of our nation 391 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: and as some will say, the leader of the flea world. 392 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: Uh. 393 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: But he is acting like he is, you know, on 394 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: a school yard. 395 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 11: Calling people names, and you would actually get suspended even 396 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 11: if he behaves on a school yard. 397 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: Uh. 398 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 11: And so there is there's no way to like analyze 399 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 11: or think or sit with it. You just gotta like laugh, 400 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 11: you know, tell him the f off and go about 401 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 11: your day, because. 402 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: That is, at least for us, that's the Somali way. 403 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: The Left has been trying to rewrite American history for decades. 404 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: The latest claim is that it was Somali's who built 405 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: this country. We keep hearing that. Well, Michael Knowles did 406 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: a little research. Michael Knowles does his own podcast. He's 407 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: with the Daily Wire. Uh. He and I share a 408 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: passion or a good cigar on an all too frequent basis, 409 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: and Michael Knowles did this is a longer clip than 410 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: we would normally play. But I think you did a 411 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: really really good job of laying this out, and I 412 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: don't think I could do it any better. You got 413 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: to go watch the video because video is a is 414 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: a great pairing with it. But I think the audio 415 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: will make the point that it was not Somali's who 416 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: in any way built America. And here are the receipts, 417 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: as the kids would say. 418 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 5: Democrat Congresswoman Promila Jayapaul recently claimed that immigrants from Somali 419 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 5: built this country, the United States of America. Immigrants have 420 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 5: built this country from all over the world, Somalia, India, 421 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 5: wherever they're from. It's a strange claim, since the Americas 422 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 5: were discovered by Christopher Columbus in fourteen ninety two, settled 423 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 5: by the Virginia Company at Jamestown in sixteen oh seven, 424 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 5: then settled in New England by the Pilgrims on the 425 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 5: Mayflower in sixteen twenty. Found it as a cohesive nation 426 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 5: through the Revolutionary War. Between seventeen seventy five and seventeen 427 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 5: eighty three and governed by the Constitution, which was ratified 428 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 5: in seventeen eighty eight, all of which occurred between one 429 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty two and four hundred and twenty eight 430 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 5: years before the first documented Somali arrived in the nineteen twenties. 431 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 5: When Somalis did finally make it over here in the twenties, 432 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 5: it was not by the millions, or by the thousands, 433 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 5: or even by the hundreds. It was by the dozens 434 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 5: and fuls of sailors, so minuscule that they barely even 435 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 5: appear in the historical record. In the nineteen fifties, as 436 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 5: Somali territories moved toward independence after decades of colonial government 437 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 5: by the British, the French, and the Italians, some Somali 438 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 5: students attended American universities. Again, we're talking about a vanishingly 439 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 5: small number of Somalis visiting and studying in the United States. 440 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 5: Even after the Heartseller Act of nineteen sixty five radically 441 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 5: transformed America's immigration system, inaugurating the policy of mass migration 442 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 5: that persists to this day, Somalis still barely came to 443 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 5: the United States. In nineteen sixty nine, the Somali Republic 444 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 5: collapsed after only nine years of existence, giving way to 445 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 5: the Marxist Leninist Somali Democratic Republic. Even then, only a 446 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 5: minuscule number of Somalis made it to America. By nineteen ninety, one, 447 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 5: year before the collapse of the Somali Democratic Republic, fewer 448 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 5: than twenty one hundred Somali natives lived in the United States. 449 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 5: That all changed in nineteen ninety one, when civil war 450 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 5: and state failure sent hundreds of thousands of Somali's fleeing. 451 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 5: The US had adopted a new policy welcoming political refugees 452 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty, over two centuries after the founding of 453 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 5: the American nation and three hundred and sixty years after 454 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 5: the landing of the Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor. For those 455 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 5: who were keeping count, so by twenty eleven, nearly one 456 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 5: hundred thousand Somalis had been welcomed into the United States 457 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 5: as refugees. What exactly did they build in America? They 458 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 5: didn't sign the Declaration of Independence. They didn't build our 459 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 5: military or found any universities, or make any of the 460 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 5: discoveries or invent any of the inventions that made America 461 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 5: a global superpower and gave us the American Century. They 462 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 5: weren't even here when all that stuff happened, but that 463 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 5: doesn't mean they haven't built anything. When Somalis began arriving 464 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 5: in the nineteen nineties and two thousands, they built mosques 465 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 5: and Islamic centers and Kuronic schools. They opened halal shops 466 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 5: and grocery stores that sent remittances back to Somalia. Beyond 467 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 5: these legal or at least semi legal businesses, the major 468 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 5: source of remittances to Somalia has been the American taxpayer, 469 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 5: because the most impressive institution that Somalis have built in 470 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 5: the United States is the kind of community group that 471 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 5: perpetrated one of the most expansive cases of welfare fraud 472 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 5: in American history. Thanks to reporting by Ryan Thorpe and 473 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 5: Christopher Rufote City Journal, we now know that Somali criminals 474 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 5: stole billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars during just a 475 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 5: single mubernatorial administration in Minnesota alone. Much of that money 476 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 5: went straight back to Somalia, with at least some of 477 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 5: it ending up in the hands of the Islamic terrorist 478 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 5: group Al Shabab. According to a twenty twenty four report, 479 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 5: remittances from abroad, and especially from the United States, today 480 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 5: account for between thirty and fifty percent of the Somalian economy. 481 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 5: In other words, Somalis didn't build America. They've never really 482 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 5: contributed anything to America. But they have managed to take, steal, 483 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 5: and transfer enough wealth from America that, inasmuch as Somalia 484 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 5: exists today as a nation at all, America built Somalia. 485 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: MHM
