That's 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 2: a lot of different a lot of different emotions to 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: try to bring the task, but we will do that today. 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. A 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: bunch of stuff to get into. We've got Robert Menendez 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: charged with felony bribery. We're gonna lay out some of 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: those details and make a connection between what Menendez's wife 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: was alleged to have been doing alongside of what Hunter 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: Biden was doing for the Biden crime family, and talk 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: about those aspects. 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: John Fetterman tears up and cries. 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: As he discusses the fact that he has difficulty processing information, 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: speaking auditory issues. That's kind of a big reason why 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: he doesn't belong in the United States Senate. We will 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: discuss also the debates as we get ready for Wednesday 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: debates and begin to discuss them. Gavin Newsom is going 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: to be involved. He's going to be physically present. What 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: in the world is going on here. It's just a 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: weird sort of lurking aspect of this primary season. What 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: is California's governor doing? All of that and more, But 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: we begin with the news of Robert Menndez, who is 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate, 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 2: charged yet again with felonies. He beat the prior felony charges, 28 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: I believe back in twenty ten when a hung jury 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: refused to convict him, Democrat senator from New Jersey. Here 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: is Bill Hemmer Dana Perino announcing those charges. 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: The US Attorney for the Southern District again on New 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: York except to announce the unsealing of an indictment and 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: the charging of US Senator Robert Menendez, the senior Senator 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: from the state of New Jersey, and his wife Nadine, 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: with bribery offenses in connection with their corrup relationship. They 36 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: say of three businessmen out of New Jersey. 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 4: Six years ago he had similar charges that were basically 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 4: it resulted in a hung journey, so dis charges were 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 4: dismissed at that time. In twenty eighteen, they said that 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 4: that's when this one case ended. But in the indictment 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 4: today they say this new corrupt relationship began around twenty eighteen, 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: so that would have been the same. 43 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: Year the cockyness here, Buck, If you beat felony charges 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: as a sitting United States senator and you nearly narrowly 45 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: avoided going to prison, most people would say, Hey, maybe 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: I dial it back. Here's a couple of the details. 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: There are photos out there. He was evidently paid in 48 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: bricks of gold, which is which is how I prefer 49 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: to be paid. Just to be clear, if anyone you 50 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: know is as anybody else wants to bribe you. And 51 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: here I'm reading from the indictment, and again these are 52 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: allegations over four hundred and eighty thousand dollars in cash, 53 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing closets, 54 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: and a safe was discovered in the home along with 55 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: seventy thousand dollars in a safe deposit box. Some of 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: the envelopes contain the fingerprints and or DNA of these 57 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: individuals who are accused, alongside as code defendants of basically 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: a large bribery scheme that involved providing favors in particular 59 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: to Egypt. Buck, what is your reaction when you see 60 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: these charges come out on Menendez, who, it should be 61 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: again reinforced, is a sitting United States Senator of the 62 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: member of the Democrat Party who says that he will 63 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: not resign, he will stay in office. 64 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: Your thoughts the. 65 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 5: Recklessness of continuing to do anything even vaguely shady as 66 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: a senator who has been indicted a Democrat senator, mind 67 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: you you know, so there's a special threshold here, right, 68 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 5: This isn't this isn't a Ted Stevens situation for those 69 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 5: who remember what happened there where they went after him 70 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: for not, you know, reporting fully repairs done on his 71 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 5: home or something, and they hid h Right, that's what 72 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 5: I was going to say. It hit exculpatory evidence. They 73 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 5: knew that he actually thought he wasn't doing anything wrong, 74 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 5: and they didn't care, and they tried to get him anyway, 75 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 5: and then they lost it. Republicans lost a Senate seat. 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: That Senate seat was then part of what was necessary 77 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 5: to get all of Obamacare through anyway. Clay, It's uh, 78 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 5: it's quite a thing to watch because a Democrat is 79 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 5: going to have a higher threshold of guilt. I'm sorry, 80 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 5: I just think that that's true. To get indicted in 81 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 5: the first place, that come along with a second indictment 82 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 5: is a quite a show of brazen this year and 83 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 5: the fact that he's accused of giving. You know, here's 84 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 5: what ends up happening in these cases. Because I follow 85 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 5: the Bob McDonald case very closely. Not a lot of 86 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 5: people did, but I found that fascinating and I ended 87 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 5: up being right, even a lot of conservatives. This is 88 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 5: like over a decade ago, but they were people were 89 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 5: arguing with me, and I was saying, guys, yes, it's 90 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 5: gross that his wife accepted a rolex or something from 91 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 5: someone kind of when he was a governor. But he 92 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 5: didn't do anything right, He didn't promise anything, and he 93 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 5: didn't do anything, So yeah, should he probably not accept 94 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: those gifts or at least list those gifts so it's 95 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 5: public knowledge or whatever. Sure, but to go after him 96 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 5: for honest services fraud, which they are going after Menendez 97 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 5: for here, there has to be a fraud, right. It 98 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 5: can't just be because now you get into and this 99 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 5: is what Scalia said in the nine to oh slapdown, 100 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 5: as a nine oh slapdown of those charges. You know, 101 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 5: if someone gives you a good restaurant at a table 102 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 5: because you're the governors that are you violating the law? 103 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 5: I mean, you know there has to be more than so. 104 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: Now in this case with Menendez, based on the allegations 105 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,559 Speaker 5: unproven yet in court, and presumption of innocence does still matter. 106 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 5: I feel like we're often losing that these days in society. 107 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 5: But Clay, when they're giving you gold bricks and envelopes 108 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 5: of money, and you're passing along sensitive information to you 109 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 5: allegedly to the government of Egypt to help the government 110 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 5: of Egypt with things they're not supposed to know, and 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: when you're promising to do favors, if that is not 112 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 5: corruption and bribery. Nothing is corruption in bribery. So if 113 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: these things are true, he's in a lot of trouble. 114 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I would also point out, I think 115 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: it is worth drawing an analogy here. The FBI and 116 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: the Department of Justice rated Menendez's homes. They were able 117 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: to find these envelopes of cash, these gold bars. They 118 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: put together this incredible conspiracy case that they have now 119 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: brought out again, these are allegations. I think it's worth asking, Okay, 120 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: why did none of this happen with Hunter, Biden and 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 2: Joe Biden right, because effectively, what it appears Menendez was 122 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: doing was using his wife as the locusts to be 123 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: receiving payment for his actions. That's what the Biden crime 124 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: family did with Hunter. And if you go in and 125 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: actually look at the under oath testimony that has been 126 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: made so far, the IRS agents said that Hunter Biden 127 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: was being tipped off and that they weren't allowed to 128 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: actually conduct raids on his property to be able to 129 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: uncover more evidence of his criminal culpability. To my knowledge, Buck, 130 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: there has never been any raid of any of Joe 131 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: Biden's properties. Now, they went and searched after the classified 132 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: documents were found. 133 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: But this is in Menendez. 134 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: They basically are just crushing him for what appears to 135 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: be very similar behavior between his wife and Hunter Biden's activities. 136 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: I mean, you imagine if the FBI did a full 137 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 5: on rate of back in the day of Hunter Biden stuff. 138 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: Oh with what they would have found. What they would 139 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: have found would have been. 140 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: I mean, the only reason we know this stuff is 141 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: because he actually just handed his laptop over and then 142 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: refused to pay for it when he was asked to 143 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: pay for it. 144 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like. 145 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 5: You know, at some at some point, you know, I 146 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: I I like, there's the Jordan Peterson thing that I've 147 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 5: makes the rounds on the internet where he says, no 148 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 5: one really gets away with anything, meaning okay, maybe you 149 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 5: get away with it in some context, but eventually, and 150 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 5: you know, Hunter's gone through his life protected because of 151 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 5: who his dad is, and so he hasn't really had 152 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 5: to exercise judgment and develop the skills of a person 153 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 5: that and you know, deal with the consequences, which a 154 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 5: big part of judgment is consequence, right, A big brad 155 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 5: of judgment is learning. You know, I touched that stove, 156 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 5: I burned my hand. I'm not going to do that again. 157 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 5: And I think Hunter Biden in the sense is is 158 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 5: kind of a political brat. And you see that in 159 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 5: the way that this has all gone down on the 160 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 5: on the men end thing. They'll bring it back to 161 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 5: that for a second. He had the hung jury before. Interestingly, 162 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 5: he was tied to this guy Melgan, remember this, who 163 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 5: was a doctor, an eye doctor here in Florida, and 164 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 5: he went away for I think he got seventeen years 165 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 5: for Medicare fraud, and Trump at the very end commuted him, 166 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 5: commuted his sentence, so he was going to serve seventeen 167 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 5: years and Donald Trump, a Democrat supporting a Democrat there 168 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 5: with Menendez. Trump came along and thought that that was 169 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 5: too harsh or whatever and commuted it. But Melgan has 170 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 5: been on the radar of the Feds this whole time. 171 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 5: So for me, this is kind of like, you know, 172 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 5: maybe because I'm watching the Sopranos. You ever watched the Pranos? Oh, 173 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 5: I love it, this great show. I'm actually in the 174 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 5: midst of the Sopranos right now. To me, this is 175 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 5: a little bit like if Tony Soprano finds out when 176 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 5: he finds out that the Feds are on him, they 177 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 5: try to like, you know, bring the heat down or whatever. 178 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 5: It's like Menendez found out the fair I mean, they 179 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 5: indicted him, and he was like, yeah, business as usual, 180 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 5: let's go right back to the well on this one, 181 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 5: which it feels like it's almost a compulsion at that point, 182 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 5: like something is wrong with this guy. 183 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 6: Do you know what I mean? 184 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 5: You're the chair of the Centate Foreign Relations Committee, You're 185 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 5: a high profile guy. 186 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean I think it's probably just a 187 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: belief that the rules don't apply to him, because if 188 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: you already beat the charges once you think that you 189 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: have the power, the cachet, the panache to be able 190 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 2: to continue this behavior. 191 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: But again this kind of comes yeah. 192 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want I don't want to interpret a thought. 193 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 5: Just one thing I'm already thinking about is his best 194 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 5: maneuvering right now instead of yeah, they'll be legal maneuvering. 195 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 5: But his best defense is going to be making sure 196 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 5: that Joe Biden is prepared to pardon him at the end. 197 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 5: Like whatever political maneuvering he can do is going to 198 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 5: be to make sure that he's lined up for a part. 199 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 5: What does he have on Joe? You know, this is 200 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 5: where that stuff. This is where the old Potomac two 201 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 5: step makes a big difference. 202 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: I also, when I saw these charges, Buck couldn't help 203 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: but think New Jersey almost elected a Republican governor. What 204 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: did it come down to, like twenty thousand votes or 205 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: something like that. Yeah, in twenty twenty one would have 206 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 2: been a huge upset and they would never have brought 207 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: these charges on an Endez if there were a Republican governor. 208 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: Was that was one of my first thoughts. So Menendez 209 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: doesn't have the protection, partly because if they have to 210 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: replace him, they'll just throw another Democrat in. And so 211 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: you know, in a fifty one to forty nine Senate, 212 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: if there were a Republican governor, I don't think they 213 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: would have ever charged him because then the Republican governor 214 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: could appoint a Republican And you're talking about the control 215 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: of the United States Senate truly being at an even 216 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: tally where suddenly Kamala Harris has to continue to break 217 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 2: the tie on any kind of issues. Now, I don't 218 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: think really the Senate's going to be able to pass 219 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: anything over the next year and a half until we 220 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: go through the twenty twenty four election. But I do 221 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: think this raises the biggest issue. And I know we've 222 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 2: talked about this some, but I think we need to 223 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: keep hammering at home so much. Prosecutorial decision making is 224 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: everything when it comes to who gets charged and what 225 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: they get charged for, and we don't talk enough about that, 226 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: I think as a collective media, because I think a 227 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: lot of people don't really understand the process of investigations. 228 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: But fuck you, me and every person out there listening 229 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: to us right now could be charged with a crime, 230 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: even if you think you are the cleanest, almost honest 231 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: living person on the planet, if the full might of 232 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 2: the federal government decided to investigate every tax return you've 233 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: ever filed, decided to look into. 234 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: Every maneuver that you've ever made in your. 235 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: Life, they would find something that you have done that 236 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: is improper. So when you don't go after egregious wrongdoing 237 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: like Hunter, Biden and Buck we talked a little bit 238 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: off the air about the quid pro quo to me, 239 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 2: when there's a WhatsApp message saying to a Chinese. 240 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: Foreign entity, if you don't do. 241 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: Give me this money right now, then my dad and 242 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: the entire Biden family will ensure that you regret it 243 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: for every day basically, I'm paraphrasing the rest of your life. 244 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: That's pretty quote close to a quid pro quo. 245 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: And Beisma getting into the prosecutor fired that they didn't 246 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: like is pretty close to a quit pro quote. The 247 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: evidence against Joe Biden seems to me, having read the 248 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: indictment of Menendez, every bit as consequential as the evidence 249 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: against Menendez, when you think about the millions of dollars, 250 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: the payments, the fact that it was wired very shadily 251 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 2: through the Okay, I. 252 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 5: Mean, okay, hold on We didn't. I got a back 253 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 5: that up a little bit. We didn't find four hundred 254 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 5: thousand dollars in cash stashed in envelopes. That's clearly not 255 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 5: being declared, I might add, but. 256 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: Hunter got millions of dollars in cash. We don't know 257 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: how he got it all and didn't declare it or 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: pay it. The Hunter stuff I'm talking about for Joe Biden. 259 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: Oh well, but the difference is because it's the wife, 260 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: right Like the wife is being connected directly. I'm saying 261 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: Hunter was doing it. Maybe it was smarter because Joe 262 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: Biden's not the fall girl here, but Hunter was doing 263 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: effectively what the wife of Menendez was doing. 264 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's a. 265 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 5: Shame too, because Joe Biden's a doctor, so clearly. 266 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: She knows better. That's a doctor would never engage in behavior, 267 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 2: never makes such mistakes. By the way, speaking of mistakes, 268 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: fifty percent decline in testosterone overall failure. I'm sure you 269 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: saw Joe Biden can't even figure out how to get 270 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: off the stage forgot to shake the hands of the 271 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: Brazilian leader. 272 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: This guy needs testoster. He's a lot more than testosterone. 273 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: But I don't know that we've ever had a white 274 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: house with a lower amount of testosterone in it. We're 275 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: down fifty percent compared to what your grandfather's great grandfathers had. 276 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: Not good. 277 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: If you want all natural testosterone recovery, how about going 278 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: to chalk.

Clay and I are having sidebar 294 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 5: here about NFT's non fungible tokens. For some of the 295 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 5: old timers out there who have seen markets come and go, 296 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 5: seen stock markets rise and fall and everything. They were 297 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 5: skeptical of a lot of crypto, and they were right 298 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 5: the only crypto. Oh anyway, I won't get it because 299 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 5: you know, the crypt crypto people are very they're very 300 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 5: fervent in their in their beliefs. Build cooin is a 301 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 5: little different than just the general crypto. I live in Miami, folks, Okay, 302 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 5: I can't tell you how many people I know who 303 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 5: are driving around in Lamborghini's because they basically pumped and 304 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 5: dumped some crypto that's worthless. Now, I mean that that's 305 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 5: a common thing here, but NFTs non fungible tokens. This 306 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: is when they were selling the digital image of a 307 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 5: thing for money, and I remember thinking, this is the 308 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 5: this is the peak of American tulipmania in twenty twenty, 309 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 5: you know, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, and Clay, what what's 310 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 5: the market worth? 311 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Right now? 312 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: That we got an article up at OutKick, I was 313 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: just reading ninety five percent of all NFTs are now 314 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: completely worthless, like they're just isn't a market And for 315 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: people out there, a lot of you, I understand because 316 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: I looked into this. It's basically a digital image for 317 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: people out there who were like, what is an NFT? 318 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: Like you could buy a painting and you could hang 319 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 2: it on your wall and you could be like, oh, 320 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: this is unique, you know whatever. The NFT was a 321 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: digital version, So my sports NFTs were very popular than Buck. 322 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: They were selling for crazy amounts. It'd be like somebody 323 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: dunking a basketball. Somebody would buy that NFT. And the 324 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 2: idea was they were restricting how many versions of those 325 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 2: NFTs were. 326 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: But I had the same take as you. 327 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, why would I want a digital image that 328 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 2: I can find anywhere? 329 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: Like, what is the value? 330 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: It was all made up and the entire industry has 331 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 2: basically collapsed. There is no industry and a lot of 332 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: people lost massive amounts of money. And it was also 333 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 2: sort of that whole Robinhood era Buck when everybody was 334 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: at home and kind of bored and just looking for 335 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: things to spend money on because the government gave them 336 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: so much. 337 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: That was one of the things that got inflated. 338 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 5: It's worth remembering if something makes no sense, it's probably 339 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 5: not a good idea to put money into it.

But the numbers 374 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 6: are historic. Right the first year under Biden Histork never never, 375 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 6: never seen numbers before in history nation. In the second year, 376 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 6: we shattered that created a new historic record. And right 377 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 6: now we're on the glipath to create a new historic 378 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 6: year in illegal imcreation. And remember they went for the 379 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 6: most secure board in my lifetime to historic three years 380 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 6: of illegal immigration. 381 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 5: Hey, Tom, it's buck. Always appreciate you being with us, 382 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 5: and you know you're a guy who has been on 383 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 5: the ground and working on this issue for many, many 384 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 5: years in the past. So I want to ask it 385 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 5: as it pertains to the situation right now. 386 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: What happens? 387 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 5: So like we saw a trainload earlier this week, literal 388 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 5: trainloads of single adult male migrants were coming to the border. 389 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 5: They I've seen them. They walk into the country, they'll 390 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 5: basically flag down border patrol. What happens then? And who 391 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 5: doesn't get to stay at this point, at least initially, 392 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: Like who's being turned away? Because it feels like with 393 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 5: these numbers, almost everyone's being let in. 394 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 6: That's what I said, exactly what's happened. Remember Secretary of 395 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 6: my orchis said last night when you touched fight last 396 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 6: time front of Congress. Those who don't follow what he 397 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 6: calls the legal pathway, which is not legal, but he says, 398 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 6: those that don't use the CVP one happen me turned 399 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 6: around the center back. That is not happening. I've talked 400 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 6: to several Chief patrol agents on the southern borders right 401 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 6: now their station on the southern border chief patrol agents 402 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 6: who said they've been instructed to process and released. There 403 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 6: are instructions right now process as quick as possible, well, 404 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 6: released as quick as possible, so they try to prevent 405 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 6: over crowding. The problem is so many are coming they 406 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 6: can't prevent the over crowning, especially when smaller stations like 407 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 6: an Ego path, it isn't built for these type of numbers. 408 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 6: Over crowny. It's happening twenty four to seven. 409 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: I saw the news and we talked about it yesterday 410 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: Tom with five hundred thousand basically Venezuelans getting work permits 411 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: as long as they were in the country before July 412 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 2: thirty first of this year. 413 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: When you see that. 414 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: You've seen how word spreads to different countries about what 415 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: is and what is not possible. I don't see how 416 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: this doesn't lead to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, 417 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: of Venezuelans deciding to make the trip to the United States, 418 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 2: seeing that as almost an open invitation. Based on your experience, 419 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 2: how do you think a decision like that by the 420 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: Biden administration will be received? 421 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: And what is the impact in Venezuela. 422 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 6: That decision is catastrophic? Is going to cross more people 423 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 6: that's going on. You know the secretaries out the sas well, 424 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 6: they're not here by a certain day. They're not going 425 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 6: to get to work the work conversation. But that doesn't matter. 426 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 6: If you're number one, they're going to try to apply 427 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 6: for fraudently. And besides, you had now shown that if 428 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 6: you get, if you get the population that you've been getting, 429 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 6: that you're going to change the rules of Temporary protect 430 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: the Status and open up to half a million more. 431 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 6: So more people are gonna come, and they're going to 432 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 6: enter the country legally, and they're gonna wait for you 433 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 6: to do it again. That's what the cartailers do. They 434 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 6: watch the actions administration, they sell it so they will say, well, 435 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 6: they extended TPS for half a million, right now, we'll 436 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 6: keep shoving down the border and they don't have to 437 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 6: do it again. There's no consequence, there's no deterrence. And 438 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 6: what they did, yes, they just throw gas on an 439 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 6: open fire. It's going to have a severe network consequences 440 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 6: on the border. More going to come because of that announcement. 441 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: So, Tom, when you look at what's happening in New 442 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 5: York with these migrant processing centers, which seem a lot 443 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 5: like refuge to me, I mean, I've seen refugee camps 444 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 5: in other parts of the world and it's very similar. 445 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: People that are not there legally, who are claiming that 446 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 5: they have to be there as refugees, and they're being processed, 447 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 5: fed housed, et cetera. This problem looks like it's it's 448 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 5: only going to continue, and so what does that mean 449 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 5: for the men and women of Border Patrol and ICE 450 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 5: priorities because it feels like right now it's not about 451 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 5: enforcement of the law, it's about creating a conveyor belt 452 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 5: for more illegals to come into the country. 453 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 6: That's exactly what's happened. So Bordertrol they can't do their job. 454 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 6: They can't do the national security job in most sectors 455 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 6: right now, set up to seventy percent, seven out of 456 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 6: ten agents have been pulled off patrol to process, prepare meals, 457 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 6: make hospital runs, make airport runs. Only thirty percent of 458 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 6: uniform officers are still on the line patrolling, so they're 459 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 6: unable to do their mission. ICE the same reason ICE 460 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 6: is out wrestling criminal amash about the country and public 461 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 6: safety dread because a big part of their organization now 462 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 6: down in southern border helping the process historic crisis. So 463 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 6: neither agency is get to do the national security of 464 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 6: what they should be doing. And people need to remember, 465 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 6: you can comm asylum seekers okay, I guess technically can 466 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 6: comma silum secrets. Here's what they need to understand over 467 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 6: the last ten years, you look at the immigration court data, 468 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 6: it shows this that nearly nine out of ten people 469 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 6: who claim asylum at our border never get relief, but 470 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 6: because courts or they don't show up and they simply 471 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 6: don't qualify. Because most of these people of fast majority 472 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 6: are not escaping fear and persecution from their home government 473 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 6: because of race, religion, and polical affiliation. They're coming in 474 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: for a job, they're coming in for a better life, 475 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 6: and I get that, but I don't qualify for asylum. 476 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 6: So people need to understand nine out of ten of 477 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 6: these people are committing a silum fraud. Nine out of 478 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 6: ten will get order removed whether they show up the 479 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 6: court or now, they'll get ordered absentia. And they're not 480 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 6: leaving because the Homeland Security life Cycle Report, the Secretary's 481 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 6: very own report says like if you're a family group, 482 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 6: use your case, you leave six percent of the time. 483 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 6: So people need to understand not only man is coming in, 484 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 6: they're not either. 485 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 2: I think that's super important because there are different aspects 486 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: of illegal immigration. I'm sure that you've seen over your career, Tom, 487 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: and it used to be a lot of that was 488 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: Mexico base, but it would be seasonal. Right, people may 489 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 2: come to the United States to work to make money, 490 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: and then they would go back home, and then they 491 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: would go back and forth. In other words, they weren't 492 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: becoming necessarily all the time permanent residents of the United States. 493 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 2: They maintain those connections to Mexico. So many of the 494 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: people that are coming now are coming from so far 495 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 2: away that they're never going to leave Venezuelans. 496 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: The work that they have to put in to get 497 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: to the United States. 498 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: It's not like they can easily just go back to 499 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 2: Venezuelan and go back and forth between the two. 500 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Right. 501 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: I think that's very important to understand how the shifting 502 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: tides of illegal immigration has changed in a big way. 503 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: There used to be people who wanted to go back 504 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: and forth. 505 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: Now, basically to your point, everybody's here and they're never 506 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 2: leaving exactly. 507 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,239 Speaker 6: That's true. Reasons number one, Right, the fugitive doctor is, 508 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 6: you know, in the mallion. So, like I said, ninety 509 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 6: percent of people lose their case. They're in the win 510 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 6: and they're in the wain. They're hiding out why because 511 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 6: they're gonna wait around for the next ambacy. The trumb 512 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 6: oh they're gonna have a US citizen kid or two. 513 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 6: Then then even Republicans when I was an ICE director, 514 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 6: even Republican senators who call me, why did you even 515 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 6: why did you deport that guy got two UFC kids? 516 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 6: Why didn't have two US kids and they came to 517 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 6: the country legally, he didn't have two USC kids in 518 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 6: order to remove now because they's USC kids, he demute 519 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 6: from the laws. If the patient court, if the judges 520 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 6: ordered the media thing, they shut down IMMI patient courts. 521 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 6: But you're right back in my daily eighties, ninety nine 522 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 6: point ninety percent, everybody arrested was a Mexican national. We 523 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 6: we haven't back in Mexican over within a half hour. 524 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 6: But now it's it's it's it's one hundred and seventy 525 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 6: one different countries. Aliens haven't been arrested by born troll 526 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 6: this year. And some of these countries have no relationship 527 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 6: with US, like China. When I was the ICE director, 528 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 6: we we China won't take back to nationals. They refused, 529 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 6: and right now Benzeuela's not going to take back the nationals. 530 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 6: When President Trump was in power, bron alazais director El 531 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 6: Salvador won't take back MS thir team members until President 532 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 6: Trump called them and demanded they take them back or 533 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 6: they who's their international aid? So you know, not only 534 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 6: are these people hide and not wait to next giveaway program, 535 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 6: but a lot of these countries do not cooperate with 536 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 6: us to take back the nationals that are citizens of 537 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 6: their nation. 538 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 5: Tom I got to ask, I mean, I'm just sort 539 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 5: of curious about what happens when someone eventually gets into 540 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 5: the immigration court who says that they're an asylum seeker 541 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 5: in this process and they don't get asylum. Is am 542 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 5: I right in thinking there's another there's a separate deportation hearing. 543 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 5: I mean, basically, of the people that aren't going to 544 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 5: get asylum, which is almost all of them, what percentage 545 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 5: are actually going to be deported? 546 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 6: Well, as I said, if you look at the immigration 547 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 6: court dad of last decade, nine out of ten other 548 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 6: people come across the board will be ordered deportedsent yet 549 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 6: because they didn't show up the court or in person, 550 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 6: nine out of ten. 551 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 5: Right, But I mean, how many of that nine out 552 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 5: of ten actually get deported? 553 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 6: If a family group six percent, if there's a single 554 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 6: dope eleven percent, if they're if they're if they're a 555 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 6: UAC three percent, so very very few ever get deported 556 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 6: because they're in to win these people. 557 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: That's the that's the important data. 558 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 5: I mean, that's what I think people because because you know, Tom, 559 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 5: the whole game here they play is, oh, they're just 560 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 5: waiting for their day in court. Well, it doesn't matter 561 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 5: how the day in court goes, because they're not going 562 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 5: to get deported anyway. 563 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 6: Well here's here's here's what people need to understand. If 564 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 6: they were in detention, if they'd any catch a reason 565 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 6: actually detain them an ice facility, they get a hearing 566 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 6: within thirty five days, then they can be removed. But 567 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 6: an administration knows this. The administration knows nine out of 568 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 6: ten will fail based on Immigration court data, and they 569 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 6: also know corn Homeland Security Life TECK report. If they're 570 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 6: not detained, only six percent leave. That's why they're not 571 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 6: detaining him. That's why they're releasing him. They know mostly 572 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 6: get ordered deport but they're not the attention, they're not leaving. 573 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 6: This is why this catch and release. That's why this 574 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,239 Speaker 6: is why I sped to empty already paid for by 575 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 6: the taxpayer, why they pay nngo's in New York five 576 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 6: hundred bucks a night for an alien. This is the 577 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 6: whole reason they're doing it, because they don't want them 578 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 6: to leave. 579 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: Tom How much would things change in your opinion if 580 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: we had a real debate in the United States about 581 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: birthright citizenship what you just talked about. The challenge becomes, 582 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 2: many of these people are gonna come here, They're gonna 583 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: have kids. Those kids then become United States citizens. Obviously, 584 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: jobs are a huge incentive. How much do you think 585 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: it would change the game if you couldn't become a 586 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: United States citizen merely by being born on United States soil, 587 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: it'd be a game changer. 588 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 6: It was because look in Yuma, Arizona just last month, 589 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 6: m Arizona hospital, every maternity that day was taken by 590 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 6: and no he in on it came Acostal border are 591 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 6: used to this motherland get birth in Yuma or Mississini Huma. 592 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 6: They had a travel an hour an hour and a 593 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 6: half to know the hotel. Look, we we went when 594 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 6: I was when I was on number three at iceon 595 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 6: Jay Johnson a section, we went to the family operation. 596 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 6: These families got order removed. We went look for him. 597 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 6: Do you know that over forty percent of those families, 598 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 6: those women were already pregnant or had a US citizen 599 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 6: child that they recently gave birth to. This people saying 600 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 6: welles don't take you know, social services, they don't take wellfare. Wrong. 601 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 6: As soon as they have a United States citizen child, 602 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 6: they qualify for all of that and they use it 603 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 6: for number one. If people call them anchor babies, call 604 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 6: it what you want. But if they have a US 605 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 6: citizen child, it is it is another appeal, another way 606 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 6: to draw up the immigration process. Say you've got a 607 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 6: US citizen child and you can petition for the mother 608 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 6: or father. It just creates a whole mess. And like 609 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 6: I said when I was Vice director, even even some 610 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 6: Republicans didn't want people be to remove that had a 611 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 6: US citizen child after they got here illegally. And here's 612 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 6: a problem. If the immigition court, if the judge doesn't matter, 613 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 6: if his decisions don't matter, after spending billions of dollars 614 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 6: on due process, but what the hell are we doing 615 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 6: hut down the immigration court the judges or needs and 616 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 6: means something.

Sandy, Thank you for calling in. 661 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 5: And I just learned, Clay, did you know there was 662 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 5: a Memphis Texas. I just learned that one. 663 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: I did not know there was. He's a Memphis Texas. 664 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 5: So the situation is that the federal government, it's not 665 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 5: just that it refuses help on. 666 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: The immigration issue. 667 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 5: It refuses to allow states to help themselves on the 668 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 5: immigration issue. And you see that in Texas where they're 669 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 5: cutting the razor wire, removing the barriers. And if Texas look, 670 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 5: immigration is ultimately a federal government issue. Right entering the 671 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 5: United States, immigration is a federal government issue. If Texas 672 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 5: decided that it was going to start doing this, you 673 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 5: would just have immediately the Biden administration would go to 674 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 5: federal judge and they've done this, I mean, this is 675 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 5: what Yeah, this is the practice, and they say no, no, no, 676 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 5: that's not your role. You can't usurp that from the 677 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 5: federal government, even if what you're doing is helping the 678 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 5: federal government mission, because that's not under a Democrat the 679 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 5: federal governm mission. The mission is to keep an open border. 680 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: And remember this, the United States government is suing Texas 681 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: for putting barriers up to make it harder to get 682 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 2: into the United States. To her point, Greg Abbott, the 683 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 2: governor of Texas, has tried to do everything that he 684 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 2: can to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country. 685 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 2: And I give him some credit because remember a lot 686 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 2: of people said, oh, that's not going to have any 687 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 2: impact just by putting some I mean, remember, New York 688 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 2: City is dealing with a pin prick of the illegal 689 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: immigrants that Texas is, and it's basically brought the city's 690 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: budget to its knees. Chicago pen prick, Washington, d C 691 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 2: pen prick. All it takes is a tiny percentage of 692 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 2: people that Texas deals with on a day to day 693 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 2: basis to bring these sanctuary cities to their knees in 694 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: terms of their ability to. 695 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: Handle the flow of a legal immigration. 696 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 2: And I think what's happening here is you're seeing a 697 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 2: fracturing of the Democrat base here because Buck, what have 698 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: we played so much of I mean, if you're a 699 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: black person living in New York City, for instance, historically 700 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 2: you have voted Democrat, but suddenly you're looking around. Your kids' 701 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: schools are being inundated with illegal immigrants, your parks are 702 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 2: being filled with illegal immigrant camps, your kids can't play 703 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 2: soccer or baseball or basketball in the parks because the 704 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 2: parks have been taken over by illegal immigrants. And your 705 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 2: tax dollars are going to subsidize this, and you're saying 706 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 2: this is not right. And I think this is why 707 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 2: you're starting to see this collapse. I mean, even Eric 708 00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 2: Adams basically is calling out the Biden administration. He and 709 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 2: I think you're starting to see a fracturing of the 710 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 2: Democrat base because this is wildly unpopular. 711 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: Even with traditional Democrat voters. They see how wrong this is. 712 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: I hope. 713 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 5: So I do think this is the most important policy 714 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 5: issue right now in the country. I think it affects 715 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 5: our It effects obviously the rule of law. It affects 716 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 5: safety and security along the border. It affects the Fentanel crisis, 717 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 5: the economy, especially the localized economy when you look at 718 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 5: places like New York and Chicago, and this is massive. 719 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 5: And the Democrats they got they've got nothing on this 720 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 5: vote play. I mean, they they do not have an 721 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,479 Speaker 5: answer to how are you going to stop this? Because 722 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 5: they fundamentally don't want to stop it. 723 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: No doubt. And by the way, that's Memphis, Tennessee. 724 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 2: Our esteemed caller screeners pullus Memphis Texas actually Memphis, Tennessee. 725 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: So there may not be a Memphis Texas, but there 726 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: is on Wikipedia. Wikipedia says Memphis Texas
