Number one. 38 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: As you pointed out, we are seeing a sea change 39 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: in this country. We're one month into the Trump presidency, 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: and I got to say, the polling numbers, the American 41 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: people are embracing it a common sense conservative agenda, and 42 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: the media, the corporate media, they don't know what to 43 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: do with it, and the Democrats they don't know what 44 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: to do with it. 45 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: Now. 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: Part of it is because we're seeing real results. And 47 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 3: one of the things that we're going to talk about 48 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 3: today are the incredible results we're seeing on the border. Look, 49 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: I said last year, over and over again, we're going 50 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 3: to secure the border. And it's not going to take 51 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: a year, it's not going to take six months. It 52 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 3: is going to happen on January twentieth. Well, i'll tell 53 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: you what the numbers have back that up. We have 54 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: seen the illegal immigration plummet. We're going to break that 55 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: down for you and give you the facts and figures 56 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: on that. And then finally, Doze Doze every day continues 57 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: to be breathtaking, uncovering more and more government waste. And 58 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 3: to watch the Democrats run around like chickens with their 59 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 3: heads cut off defending all this nonsense is is really astonishing. 60 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: I got to say. The President asked a while ago, 61 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 3: he said, we're going to win so much, you're gonna 62 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 3: get tired of winning. I got to tell you, Ben 63 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: right now, I'm not tired of winning. 64 00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 65 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: And the majority of Americans in this new poll that 66 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: we're mentioning, yeah, they're not tired of winning yet. 67 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: Either. 68 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends 69 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: over at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. After 70 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: more than a year of war, tear and pain in Israel, 71 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: there is still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid. 72 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and 73 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: continues to support those in the Holy Land still facing 74 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: the lingering horrors of war, and those who are in 75 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: desperate need right now. Your gift today will provide critically 76 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: needed aid to communities in the North and the South 77 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: that have been devastated by the ongoing war, and your 78 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: generous donation will deliver to help those not only that 79 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: are in need, but also the evacuees and refugees from 80 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: the war torn areas, first responders and volunteers, wounded soldiers, 81 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: and even elderly Holocaust survivors. They need our help because 82 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: many of them have lost everything. You can give hope 83 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: during a time of great uncertainty. So to give a 84 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: gift to bless Israel and her people, you can do 85 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: it by visiting support IFCJ dot org.

So, Senator, 90 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 2: there's certain points where the President has been pushing different 91 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: agenda items and the media takes the opportunity to really 92 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: come down on him and basically do what they've done 93 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: for years, which is, well, you Americans don't want to 94 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: be a part of this. And now the poll numbers 95 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: are showing that the media is having virtually no influence 96 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: on the public, and the public is backing Trump now 97 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: more than ever. 98 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: Well, it turns out common sense is a lot more 99 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: common than the media was telling us. And I want 100 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: you to listen to this clip on ABC with John 101 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: Nathan Carl and he's interviewing at Keem Jeffries, and you 102 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 3: need to picture this is Kim Jeffries, the leader of 103 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: the Democrats in the House. Jonathan carl is going to 104 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: ask him about the polling numbers, talking about how the 105 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: American people are supporting the Trump agenda, the common sense 106 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: conservative agenda in big numbers, and at the end of it, 107 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: Jeffries has no answer whatsoever. So listen, this is not me, 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: this is not you, This is ABC News talking about 109 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: where the American people are right now. 110 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's favorability rating is actually higher than it ever 111 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 4: was the first time round. 112 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Let me ask you. 113 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 4: A recent poll by Marquette looked at several of the 114 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: things that he has done or says that he is 115 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 4: going to do, and sixty three percent favor federal government's 116 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: recognition of only two sexes. Sixty percent favored deporting immigrants 117 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: who entered the United States illegally, sixty percent favor expanding 118 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: oil and gas production, fifty nine percent favored declaring an 119 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: emergency at the southern border. Is there anything you are 120 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: seeing that the Trump is doing that you are in 121 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 4: favor of, that you think is the right thing? 122 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: Let me say, as it relates to all of those issues, 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: we're just at the beginning. 124 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: We're just at the beginning. So that's my answer. And 125 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: Jonathan Carl's face was actually hilarious there because. 126 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: You no, no, keen. Jeffrey's face was funnier. Yeah, because 127 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 3: because when Carl asks him, Jeffreys is shocked and astonished. 128 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: He goes through the American people sixty plus percenter agreeing 129 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 3: with Trump on X, Y Z all these issues. Is 130 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: there anything he's doing that's right now? If you're the 131 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 3: leader of the Democrats in the House, What the hell 132 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: do you say about that? Like, he had no response 133 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: other the well, it's just the beginning. I'm hoping something 134 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: will go bad and then we'll cheer that. Like it 135 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 3: is sixty three percent favor of the government recognizing only 136 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 3: two sexes. Those are not close numbers. Sixty three percent 137 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: is a super majority any way you look at it. 138 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: Sixty percent favor deporting illegal illegal aliens, sixty percent favor 139 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: expanding oil and gas production, fifty nine percent favor declaring 140 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: an emergency on the southern border. Those are compelling numbers. 141 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: And it's an example of look my way, Can we. 142 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: Talk poll numbers just for a second so people understand 143 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: in politics, Like when I was at the Bush administration, 144 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: we were on the campaign. If you had a poll 145 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: on something we wanted that was above fifty three percent, 146 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: that was like a home run. If you were at 147 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: fifty five percent or above, it was like a mandate. 148 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: I have not seen sixty percent polls like these in decades, 149 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: have you? 150 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: On these types of issues? 151 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: And to see ABC reporting on it, and you're right, 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: Jonathan carl is very dismayed to be reporting on it. 153 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: He's shaking his head but a king Jefferies looks like 154 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: he's filming a hostage video. He's just terrified. Why are 155 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: you asking me this? Because he doesn't want to say no, 156 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: I don't agree with Trump on anything, because when you're 157 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 3: on the wrong side of a bunch of sixty forty issues, 158 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: that's a recipe to lose elections. But he doesn't want 159 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: to say yes, I agree with Trump on anything because 160 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: his base hates Trump so much they'll lose their mind 161 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: and go nuts. So all he can say is, well, 162 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: it's just the beginning. I hope things will go wrong 163 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: and then we can celebrate the things are going wrong. 164 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: It is astounding astonishing. I should say that this is 165 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: now where we are. But this turns into what I 166 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: call a mandate, a supermandate, and it just means keep 167 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: going Trump, keep going, Republicans. What does this do to 168 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: some of your colleagues who maybe didn't want to go 169 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: along with some of these types of things when they 170 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: see these poll numbers. Is it's going to make it 171 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: easier to get things done in Congress as well? I 172 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: would hope so. 173 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: Well, it certainly should. And by the way, I'll tell you, historically, 174 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 3: for the last four years, every Democrat voted on the 175 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: wrong side of these issues. On the question of are 176 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: there two sexes male and female? Every single Democrat the 177 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: Senate voted over and over and over again. On the 178 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: question of deporting illegals. Every Democrat and the Senate voted 179 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: no over and over and over again. On the question 180 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: of more oil and gas exploration, Virtually every Democrat, actually 181 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: Joe Manchin would vote yes occasionally, Joe Manchin isn't there anymore. 182 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: So every Democrat that remains in the Senate has voted 183 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 3: no over and over and over again. On the question 184 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: of declaring an emergency on the southern border, again, every 185 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: Democrat voted no. And so the Democrat Party, listen, they're 186 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 3: in a crisis. If you're on the wrong side of 187 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: sixty forty issues across the board. Well, that's how you 188 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: get the kind of election we had November. That's how 189 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: you get a president elected with more than three hundred 190 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: electoral votes. That's how you get a president who of 191 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: the seven swing states wins all seven. That's how you 192 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: get a Republican Senate and a Republican House. Because the 193 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 3: Democrats on the issues, they're not listening to the American people. 194 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: They're listening to the crazy fringe, and I don't see 195 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: a whole lot of indication that they're you know, it's 196 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: a fascinating question, is are there Democrats in the party 197 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 3: who say, gosh, we've gotten so far out of the mainstream, 198 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 3: we're really we're really listening to to just a fringe. 199 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: Let's get back to the middle. They're one or two 200 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: people saying that. But I got to say, all right, 201 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: I want you to listen to James Carville. James Carvill 202 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 3: is a Democrat through and through. Listen to what James 203 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: Carville had to say about his party just just completely 204 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: getting so extreme that they leave the American people behind. 205 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: He's really upset about it. Here are the words Carville 206 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: is quoted online is saying, we don't have the audio, 207 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: but we have the words. And look, I'll give a warning. 208 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 3: Carville's language as always colorful. That it is here, but 209 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 3: here here's how he's quoted quote, I dedicated the best 210 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 3: years of my f and life to this party, only 211 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,479 Speaker 3: to see it taken over by a bunch of stupid mfers. 212 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: Everything's gone to s. By the way, he did not 213 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: abbreviate any of those and if you look at the 214 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: tweet that is particularly circulating online. It says Carvill is 215 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 3: especially livid following the DNC leadership election, reportedly saying quote, 216 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 3: who are these people? This David hog guy and that 217 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: other sissy referring to Malcolm Knyata come out of the 218 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: gd left field? Well there goes the mail vote forever. 219 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: Thanks guys, We're ft and we deserve it. That's James 220 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: Carville's assessment of where the Democrat Party is right. 221 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: Now, based on the poll numbers that we're seeing. He's 222 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: not far off, by the way from reality. I mean, 223 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: if he's an honest broker, I've known James for years. 224 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: You have as well, Like he's this is the assessment. 225 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: I think he's spot on with where the Democratic Party is. 226 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: And they still don't seem to understand where that this 227 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: is how far they are away from the American people. 228 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: That's a blessing disguise for us. 229 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that they are not listening to reality. But look, 230 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: let's look at the facts. Let's take the facts. 231 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: All right. 232 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 3: Here's the headline from the New York Post just a 233 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 3: couple of days ago, quote Illegal border crossings hit record 234 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: low after Trump's swift crackdown and could be on track 235 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: for levels not seen in sixty years. Wow, the numbers 236 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: are stunning. So far in February, about three hundred and 237 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 3: fifty nine illegal migrants per day have been caught across 238 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 3: the entire southern border, down more than ninety percent nine 239 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 3: zero from February twenty twenty four. According to leaked Customs 240 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 3: and Border Protection data, that puts the US on track 241 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 242 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: twenty five years. If the trend continues, the number of 243 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: illegal migrants coming into the US could hit a level 244 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 3: not seen since nineteen sixty eight, nearly sixty years ago. 245 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: Here's a quote from Mark Korrian, who runs the Center 246 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 3: for Imigration Studies. It's the lowest the US has seen, 247 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: quote in almost a lifetime. 248 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Quote. 249 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: If you kind of break down the numbers, divide them 250 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: by three sixty five, we hadn't had numbers this low 251 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 3: since the nineteen sixties, So we're talking sixty year lows 252 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: if it's substained. Obviously, the CPP data shows that just 253 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 3: three nine hundred and fifty three illegal migrants have been 254 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: caught this month through February eleventh. If that trend continues 255 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: through the month, that would put the February boarding crossings 256 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: at roughly ten thousand, which is a number that hasn't 257 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 3: been seen since CPBB began tracking month to month data 258 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety nine. Ten thousand. Under Biden, we were 259 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: getting ten thousand a day. We're on track for that 260 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: to be the total monthly traffic. And that's just in 261 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: the very first month. 262 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: It's a momentum thing, now right. 263 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to feel that, I'm sure on 264 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, which is we've just gotten started. The American 265 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: people behind us, and we're recruiting a bigger audience that's 266 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: cheering this on each and every day. 267 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: Well, look, this election, President Trump and Republicans in the 268 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 3: Senate and the House promise the American people real results. 269 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 3: And you look at what was promised. Number one, we 270 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: promised we are going to secure the border. And remember 271 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: repeatedly Joe Biden said, first of all, he said the 272 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: Border of Security, said it over and over and over again. 273 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: People knew that was a lie. And then he said, 274 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: well it's impossible to fix it. Look, I want you 275 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: it's up to Congress. I want you to listen to 276 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: this clip from the National Border Patrol Council Vice President 277 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: talking about Biden lying to the American people on this topic. 278 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: Give a listen. 279 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting because down on the southern border, 280 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 5: there has also been a dramatic reduction in the number 281 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 5: of people who are coming across the border. 282 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: I want to put up call for number four here. 283 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 5: This is a senior DHS official talking about that Chris 284 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 5: delivering consequences has results. Illegal crossings are down, god aways 285 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 5: are down, criminal prosecutions are on the rise. Daily reports 286 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 5: of large groups in Mexico Guatemala turning back south and 287 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 5: surrendering to authorities were questioned to go home, and we 288 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 5: have only just begun policy matters. President Biden told us repeatedly, 289 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 5: Chris that he had basically done all he could and 290 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 5: that it was up to Congress to do more. What's 291 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 5: happened in the last two and a half weeks would 292 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 5: seem to suggest that Biden was just gaslighting everybody. 293 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's unfortunate. I think, yeah, I don't know. 294 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 6: I don't know who he thought he was fulling. I mean, 295 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 6: Donto wasn't us. We knew what was going on the 296 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 6: whole time. And you're right. The apprehension numbers have slowann 297 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 6: to a crawl. Last night, I was actually working the 298 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 6: river and you have the Mexican military patrolling their northern borders, 299 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 6: so that slows down a lot of traffic coming our way. 300 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 6: So things have changed a great deal. And this president 301 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 6: has proven that he's a man of his word and 302 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 6: can get it done. He actually gave President Biden then 303 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 6: in Biden the roadmap. 304 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 7: To do it. 305 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: He just failed to failed to do it there. It 306 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: is failed to do it right. That's what it boils 307 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: down to. 308 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: Well, and it was deliberate, it was a decision. And listen, 309 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 3: Biden knew he was lying to the American people. Kamala 310 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: Harris knew she was lying to the American people. Kareem 311 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: John Pierre knew she was lying to the American people. 312 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer knew he was lying to the American people. 313 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: Every Democrat in the Senate, in the House, they knew 314 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: they were lying to the American people. And it's because 315 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 3: they elevated politics above their basic job of representing their 316 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: constituents and protecting them. And listen, reasonable people can disagree, 317 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 3: say on the right level of legal immigration. Some people 318 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 3: might say we should allow more legal immigration. Other people 319 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: might say we should allow less. That's a discussion reasonable 320 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 3: and rational people can have. Let me ask you something seriously, Ben, 321 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 3: Imagine for a second you're a Democrat strategist. So imagine 322 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: you're a transgender witch and you are a complete lunatic 323 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 3: and you have no reason even so you presumably want 324 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 3: your team to win. I mean, one would think that 325 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: would be sort of the basics if you're running a campaign. Sure, 326 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 3: explain to me how a political party gets so far 327 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 3: away from common sense in the American people that they decide, 328 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 3: let's release multiple child rapists that raping kids. You know, 329 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: apparently our constituents want child rapists in our community. And 330 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 3: if you think, okay, come on, Ted, that's a little extreme. 331 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 3: The Democrats are not doing this. I want you to 332 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: listen about Bill Malujin. Bill Malugin is the best immigration 333 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 3: reporter in the countries with Fox News. I want you 334 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: to listen to this clip because this is exactly what 335 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party has been doing. 336 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 7: Given listen, well, Dana, it's hard to believe there are 337 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 7: any jurisdictions out there that wouldn't cooperate with Ice when 338 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 7: it comes to illegal aliens charged with forcibly raping children. 339 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 7: But in Massachusetts it's routine. Take a look at this case. 340 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 7: ICE Boston just announcing they arrested this Guatemalan illegal alien 341 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 7: charged in Massachusetts with three counts of aggravated child rape 342 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 7: and three counts of forcible rape of a child. So 343 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 7: the question is why was he on the streets right well, 344 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 7: I says their detainer request on him was ignored by 345 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 7: the Essex County Superior Court due to sanctuary policy. 346 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: The locals released. 347 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 7: Him into the community on bail without any notice to ICE. 348 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 7: In a statement, the director of ICE Boston says, in 349 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 7: part quote, Jose Fernando Perez has been charged with some 350 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 7: horrific crimes against the minor in our commonwealth. He is 351 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 7: exactly the type of alien we are targeting with our 352 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 7: worst first policy. He posts a significant danger to the 353 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 7: children of Massachusetts and we will not tolerate such a 354 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 7: threat to our community. ICE Boston also announcing the arrest 355 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 7: of this Turkish illegal alien charged in Massachusetts with a 356 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 7: sultan battery against an intellectually disabled person and witness intimidation. 357 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 7: But I says their detainer on him was also ignored 358 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 7: by the sanctuary city of Somerville. He had also been 359 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 7: released into the public elsewhere around the US. I Seattle 360 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 7: arrested this Salvadoran illegal alien wanted in his home country 361 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 7: for aggravated homicide. Here in Los Angeles, ICE arrested this 362 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 7: Guatemalan illegal alien charged with sexual assault and rape with 363 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 7: a gun. And in Colorado, the DEA announced their top 364 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 7: ten arrests of illegal immigrants in recent days, including several 365 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 7: affiliated with Trendya Arragua and others with egregious crimes like kidnapping, 366 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 7: child sexual assault, and fentanyl trafficking and Dana. I was 367 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 7: talking to a law enforcement source in Massachusetts about the 368 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 7: child rape case that I reference, and I asked, like, 369 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 7: there's got to be some sort of a catch here, right, 370 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 7: forget about cooperating with ICE. How does somebody charge with 371 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 7: so many counts of aggravated forcible child rape even get 372 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 7: released on bail in the first place. The response I 373 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 7: got was, quote, welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Well 374 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 7: send it back to you. 375 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: Well, they're finally on their way out, thanks Bill. 376 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 2: Welcome the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. That's how much they hate 377 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. They don't care about these rapists. Running around 378 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: among us. 379 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: It really is shocking. And understand what is being reported there, 380 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: which is that in Massachusetts, but also you're singing in Seattle. 381 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: Also you're seeing in Colorado and across the country you 382 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: have Democrats who have people who are violent child rapists, 383 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 3: who are violently, horribly raping little children. And number one, 384 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: these Democrats are releasing these child rapists. Now, these child 385 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: rapists are illegal immigrants. They could be deported, but their 386 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 3: politics of we want as many illegal immigrants as possible 387 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 3: is more important than any sort of common sense of 388 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: let's stop, let's stop horrible crimes against vulnerable kids. You know, 389 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: there's a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche in Beyond Good and 390 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 3: Evil which I think is really on point here, and 391 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: it is quote, there is a point in the history 392 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that, 393 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 3: among other things, it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, 394 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 3: And it does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow 395 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 3: seems unfair to it. And it is certain that imagining 396 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: punishment and being supposed to punish hurts it, arouses fear 397 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 3: in it. Is it not enough to render him undangerous? 398 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: Why still punish Punishing itself is terrible with this question 399 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 3: heard morality, the morality of timidity draws its ultimate consequence. 400 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: You say that, and you look at where we are. 401 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: I still feel like we're in a position as Democrats 402 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: refuse to move that More and more Americans, regardless of 403 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: that they consider themselves an independent or a Democrat or Republican, 404 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: are just looking at this issue as a national security issue, 405 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: a local community safety issue, and that that's why this 406 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 2: the support for it is so high we talked about 407 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: in those poll numbers. 408 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 3: I think that's right. Look, any you know a lot 409 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 3: of people, most many normal people are not terribly political. 410 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 3: They're they're focused on their family and their lives. But 411 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 3: if you ask anyone who's not a moron or a radical, 412 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 3: do you want child rapists released in your community? The 413 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 3: answers no. If you ask most normal people, should we 414 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: secure the border, they'll say yes. If you ask most 415 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 3: normal people how many sexes are there, they're going to 416 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: say too. Now, we've lived in a world where people 417 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: were afraid to say they were two sexes because the 418 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 3: Left they're so hectoring, they're they're they're they're so just 419 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 3: a few years ago, they would silence you, they would 420 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: cancel you. That that people were afraid to say up 421 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 3: was up and down was down. And and I do 422 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 3: think we're seeing the pay angelum swing back because people 423 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: are tired of the crazy. They want less crazy. 424 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: Let's go to Doges for a second, given update there, 425 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: because they're they're they're finding the crazy each and every day. 426 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: They are continuing to find wasteful spending at numbers that 427 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: I couldn't have imagined. I think a lot of people 428 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 2: still can't believe how bad it is. A great example 429 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: of that is they discovered one point nine billion, not million, 430 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 2: one point nine billion in HUD money that was quote 431 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: misplaced by the Biden administration this last week. 432 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, that they just simply lost it. And and and 433 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: so Elon Musk and and also Scott Turner, the new 434 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 3: new secretary of HUD. They're going to go try to 435 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: try to get that back. You look at the EPA. 436 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 3: The EPA says he's going to seek the return of 437 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: twenty billion dollars in clean energy grants awarded by Biden. 438 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: And I got to say, you know, we played on 439 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 3: last week's pod reporters saying, well, gosh, we want evidence, 440 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 3: show us the evidence. Well, here are a few examples 441 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 3: of what DOZE is already discovered. Thirty six, one hundred 442 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: and twenty six dollars from USCIS for quote Diversity, Equity 443 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 3: and Inclusion and accessibility training for leadership and supervisors who 444 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: manage teams. Two point eight six million dollars for quote 445 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: a public relations firm contract for the Council for Inclusive 446 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 3: Innovation at the Patent Office, which is to make sure 447 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: women and minorities were no longer quote underrepresented as inventors 448 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 3: and patentees. That's two point eight six million, thirty five thousand, 449 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 3: three hundred and thirty eight dollars and fifty eight cents 450 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 3: for quote Sri Lankan Climate Change Mitigation, Adaptation and Resilience 451 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: Coordinator services. You know who paid that, The US Forest Service. 452 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 3: What the hell is the US Forest Service doing funding 453 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 3: climate grants in Sri Lanka? 454 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: The question everybody's asking, and you look at DOGE and 455 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: how this continues to expand they're now saying they don't 456 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: think they're gonna be able to find all the waste. 457 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: It could take a year or a year and a 458 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 2: half just to get through the waste. 459 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: Is that a number that shocks you. 460 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 7: No. 461 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: Look, I mean there's massive waste. And I got to 462 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 3: say it is striking to see Democrats in Congress they're 463 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: defending all of it. I have not seen a single 464 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: Democrat senator say, of any of this stuff, Okay, that's 465 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 3: too much. I'm glad we're getting rid of it now. 466 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: I will say it is fairly striking. Give a listen 467 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: to the guys at Pod Save America, which are you know, 468 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 3: the leftist bros Admitting that that dose is doing some 469 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 3: real good and feeling some chagrin. Give a listen to this. 470 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 8: And also, as much as I want to throw all 471 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 8: of Trump's campaign promises in his face, like the price 472 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 8: of eggs is not down, You've not ended the war 473 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 8: in Ukraine, et cetera, et cetera, he said he do 474 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 8: in twenty four hours. I think most voters get that 475 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 8: it was a shtick and they're going to give him 476 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 8: some time to actually get things done. 477 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 9: Trump is like he is moving so fast. They are 478 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 9: doing a lot. It's not just the perception of it. 479 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 9: They hit the ground running in a serious way. It's 480 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 9: like genuinely impressive, impressive in a dark and sinister way. 481 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 9: But it's nonetheless impressive. And if you're turning on the 482 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 9: news every day and hearing about all these different things 483 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 9: Trump is doing and all the different criticisms coming out 484 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 9: of it, you may not like all of it. But 485 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 9: like in comparison how to how people felt about Joe 486 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 9: Biden being basically absent.

Wow? All right. 530 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 3: The twenty five days before the inauguration, how many times 531 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 3: do you think CNN mentioned egg prices. 532 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: And five or less?

In the twenty 536 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: five days since Trump's inauguration, how many times do they 537 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 3: mention mentioned egg prices? 538 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: Thirty? Eighty? Wow? All right? 539 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: How about the twenty five days before inauguration? How many 540 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 3: times they mentioned it? 541 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 7: Zero? 542 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Are we gonna go zero? 543 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 3: One one? I'll give the credits. It's eighty to one, 544 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 3: and it's just listen. Suddenly they discovered, by the way, 545 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 3: eggs were expensive before Trump was sworn in, and you know, 546 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 3: we did have avian flu and they like slaughtered a 547 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 3: whole bunch of chickens. So that is a problem because 548 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: you know, I am not an e end biologist, but 549 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you need chickens to get eggs. So 550 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 3: it is fascinating to see we're securing the border, we're 551 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: cutting down massive government waste, we're getting wins, wins, wins, 552 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 3: and the one thing the media has discovered is to 553 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: start screaming eggs are expensive. Eggs are expensive. As if 554 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 3: they apparently had never noticed it until Donald Trump took 555 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: the oath of office. 556 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the American people are paying a lot 557 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: closer attention to all of this. That's why it's not 558 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: working on them. And I also think the American people 559 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: just don't trust the media anymore. It's going to be 560 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: interesting to see how long that lasts, because if it 561 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 2: keeps going the way it is right now, Democrats and 562 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: the media are in serious trouble.
