Speaker 1: back on Monday. We have a bunch of things to

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: get into. First of all, more on the aftermath of

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: the detention and imminent deportation of Palestinian Slash pro Hamas

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: activist Mahmood Khalil. We've gotten some clarification from at least

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a clarification. There is clarity now from

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I keep wanting Tosay Senator Secretary of State Marco Rubio

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: on just exactly what's going on with that and what

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: is the authority that he is using. We got clarity.

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I asked for it. I'll tell you about that in

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: just a little bit, uh Politico with an exclusive. I

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: think you could call this a maybe a trial balloon,

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: a testing the waters moment. Guess who is skipping a

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: possible Senate run on the Democrat side in Michigan because

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: he has his eyes on a bigger prize the White House. Oh,

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: some of you have guessed, but I'm gonna keep you

23
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: on the edge of your seats. And if you're wondering,

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: like who is it, Oh, I'll tell you because I

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: think if this is the case, things are looking really

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: good for the Republicans in twenty twenty eight. And we've

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: got a lot more to get into. You want to

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: throw out there for you eight hundred two two two,

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: eight to two on the phones. Let's get some calls

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: in today, Let's talk, let's chat. Want to hear from

31
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: you all over the country. Oh, updates on Rosie O'Donnell.

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Rosie O'Donnell, and she has moved to Ireland. As we

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, Trump I believe has weighed in on

34
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: this and we shall discuss that. We've also got a

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: bunch more on immigration. Look, the economy stuff is. You know,

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: yesterday we were going deep on what's happening with tariffs,

37
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: what's happening with the stock markets, and the day before that,

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: so we'll touch on a bit more of it today.

39
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: But I really think made the case yesterday that needs

40
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: to be made right now, which is everybody just needs

41
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: to chill. Trump knows what he's doing. Things are going

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: to get better quickly, but it's not an overnight process.

43
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Rome wasn't built in a day, and we will we

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: will get there. Okay. I want to start with immigration

45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: today actually, and what is going on here? First of all,

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: there is this New York City mayoral candidate was at

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: the New York State Capitol in Albany. And this guy's

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: name is Zarron Mamdani. So Zoran Mamdani rushed after borders

49
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: are Tom Holman, who is I I just think is

50
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: a superstar in this Trump administration. You know, I felt

51
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: the way all along. Somebody who knows the subject matter

52
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and is a warrior for the law, for sovereignty, for Americanism. Uh.

53
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: He knows the stuff backwards and forwards. So this, this

54
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: guy who's running for mayor against really now Cuomo runs

55
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: at home and and starts shouting at him, just just

56
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: so you know, this is the kind of Democrat who's

57
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: looking to lead the biggest city in America these days.

58
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Play cut one. Tom Holman just screaming. He's on video

59
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: he love I's yelling at Tom Holman. Well, Tom Holman

60
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: does not care. In fact, if anything, I think Tom

61
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: was probably cracking a smile. Some Democrat activist slash politician

62
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: is shouting at him about all this. Here's why they're

63
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: so upset. There's a few things. As you know, the

64
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Mahmoud Khalil situation has gotten the left very riled up

65
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: right now. This is I think a bad place for

66
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: them to be. This is the hill they want to

67
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: fight on. Is a guy who is very who was

68
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: pro not just Hamas, but was the stuff that this

69
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: guy has said about destroying Western civilization. I mean, this

70
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: guy is is not somebody that we want in the country,

71
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: and that I've been clear on all along. We'll get

72
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: into Marco Rubio here in a little bit establishing exactly

73
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: what the authority is to deport him. But here, here's

74
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: why this matters a lot. Here's why the situation of

75
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: the borders are and it's going to be Christy Nome

76
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: as well at DHS. Look, she's doing a great job

77
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: so far, Holmes, doing a great job there, following through

78
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: on the promises of the Trump campaign and of the

79
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Trump movement. But here's the issue we've had in the past,

80
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: these sanctuary cities, right, and the Democrat controlled states that

81
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: decide that they're going to play all kinds of games

82
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: to make it as hard as possible for federal law

83
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: to be enforced. No one disagrees, and this is clear

84
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: or this is important. No one disagrees that the federal

85
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: laws that Tom Holman is trying to enforce aren't actually

86
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: federal law. You'll notice there's no movement among Democrats in

87
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: Congress to change the laws so that these individuals would

88
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: be at least they're not open about this, so that

89
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: these individuals would no longer be deportable. They want to

90
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: blanket mass amnesty, right. They're not willing to go in

91
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: there and say hey, and they don't have the power

92
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: right now anyway, because they have to lie to you.

93
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: The law is that they don't want these illegals here.

94
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: They do, they want the illegals here, but if they're

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: too open about that, they lose power, as just happened

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: in this election. So what do we do about this?

97
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Tom Holman has an idea, and Governor Kathy Hochel maybe

98
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: finding out the hard way this is cut too. He's

99
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: just saying Look, if you continue to obstruct federal law

100
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: enforcement in the state of New York, there's going to

101
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: be real problems for you. Play too, you know he got.

102
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: Governor Holko stood on national TV after NYPD officers were

103
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: assaulted saying she thinks criminal alims should be deported. She

104
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: said the same thing after a young woman was burned

105
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: up alive on a subway by Newley Allen. So she says, yeah,

106
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: criminal aliens should be deported. However, when Mayor Adams meet

107
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: to me and wants to help us arrest criminal alands,

108
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: get us back on Rikers Island, she goes down and

109
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: try to FIRELM. She's got the green white in law

110
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: where ICE officers and CBP officers can't get can't get

111
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: DMV data when they pull car over here. They don't

112
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: even know who the article. They can't get data to

113
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: DMV because she locked them out. And if she says,

114
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: they need a war to get that data. And if

115
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: they get the war to get that data works New York,

116
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: do they notify the bad guy that we're investigating him.

117
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: So I'm up there calling her up for Saints policies.

118
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: Look, this is critical. We are getting at the heart

119
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: of the real problem here with immigration enforcement, which is

120
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: that the sanctuary states and city and cities are decided,

121
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: have decided that the federal law does not matter and

122
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: they will not work with the federal law enforcement officers.

123
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: In fact, they will hide information from them. No one's

124
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: even saying, hey, you have to be deputized, although no,

125
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: actually I shouldn't say no one. That hasn't been the

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: case in the past, though, Hey, you have to be

127
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: deputized and be a part of our federal enforcement efforts. Right,

128
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: there has to be some agreement on that. You can't

129
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: just a commandeer if you will state troopers, as a

130
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement officer said, well, you're now doing this

131
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: for us, Right, there's obvious separation of powers state and

132
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: federal that come into play. But what he's talking about

133
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: with Tom Homan is laying out there is that New

134
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: York and I'm sure it's true in California and a

135
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: bunch of other states as well, but New York is

136
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: the one I'm most focused on right now, will not

137
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: get will not give data from the d m V

138
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: to the federal federal law enforcement authorities because it's a

139
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: state d MV. Right, every state has their own Department

140
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicles and New York will not give access

141
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: to federal law enforcement in the prison systems. In the

142
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: prison systems think about this, They're like, oh, no, you can't.

143
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: There's an illegal who you know, who's we picked up

144
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: for for you know, rape, You're you're not allowed to

145
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: come in and then and then take him into custody

146
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: and deport him.

147
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Well, hold on a second, why, ah, we're forcing their hand.

148
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: And this is what Trump and the team and you

149
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: know Steven Miller, who has been brilliant on immigration issues

150
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: all along another warrior. I mean between between Homean and

151
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: UH and Miller, you've got two guys who have this

152
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: issue so squared away. And there's more coming. And this

153
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: is the good news. And this is why you're going

154
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: to see things heating up and Democrats are going to

155
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: get even more freaked out. CNN reporting that the Trump

156
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: administration is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of

157
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: seventy to ninety eight, a sweeping wartime authority, in the

158
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: coming days. This is CNN reporting, and this is designed

159
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: to speed up the President's mass deportation pledge. This is

160
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: where things are going to start to get really interesting.

161
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: Trump and his team are instead of trying to get

162
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Democrats to be honest and fair minded, they're either using

163
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: leverage over them, things like federal funding to sanctuary cities.

164
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: They're using the levers that they have to get cooperation.

165
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: This will, all, of course, I'm sure, get tied up

166
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: in courts at some point, but I think the Trump

167
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: team is on firm ground with his and they are

168
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: using authorities that a lot of people haven't really spent much,

169
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: people don't even really know or there or have not

170
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: been willing to use in the past. Uh. And this

171
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: this reminds me of and we'll get the the Marco

172
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Rubio cut here where he taught in a few minutes

173
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: where he talks about how is it that he can

174
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: just say mood Khalil needs to leave, and I just

175
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: wanted an explanation of it so we're all clear. He

176
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: gives the explanation. I will play it for you. But

177
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: Trump in the executive branch actually has a lot of

178
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: authority over immigration enforcement. You know, think about it this

179
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: way Biden was And when I say Biden, you know

180
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean the Biden regime, right, So you don't have

181
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: to remind me that it wasn't really Biden and that

182
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, he was taking naps and drinking from a

183
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: sippy cup and they were using the auto pen when

184
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: he was asleep. I know, we all know, right, Even

185
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Democrats know that now, or at least they've been forced

186
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: to face up to it. But the Biden regime decided

187
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: that immigration laws would just not be enforced. They decided

188
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: that through their executive authority of enforcement, that they would

189
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: not enforce or that they would essentially nullify a lot

190
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: of immigration laws. Trump and his team are taking it

191
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: any other direction. They're looking at every statutory authority that

192
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: they currently have. The notice they're not going to Congress

193
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: on bendeddie because you can't trust a lot of Republicans

194
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: on immigration either. And you know that you've seen it.

195
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: But they're not going to Congress and saying, hey, can

196
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: you can we do a grand bargain and let's negotiate

197
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: this for the next nine months and figure out how

198
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: we're going to know. They're saying, what do we already

199
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: have the power to do? What authorities already exist for us?

200
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: And even if it hasn't been used in a while,

201
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you, has anyone ever heard of

202
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: someone who's here in a green card, who's acting like

203
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: a jerk who hates America, being told see you later,

204
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: you're gone. I'd never heard of that before. Turns out

205
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: out you can do that. Turns out when you're a visitor,

206
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: you do not, in fact have the same constitutional or

207
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: due process rights as US citizens do. You are here

208
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: by our permission and by our grace as the American people,

209
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: and I think Marco Rubio has made that very clear.

210
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of moving pieces here. And by

211
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: the way, I haven't even gotten into what's going on

212
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: over the EPA. My man Lee Zelden is running up

213
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: the scoreboard for sanity over there already, the EPA administrator.

214
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: He is going to become the most well known EPA

215
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: administrator since Walter Peck and Ghostbusters. This is going to

216
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: be a fantastic slew of changes that you see coming

217
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: right now. It's underway, So I'm going to unpack that

218
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: EPA piece of it. Also, fascinating stuff going on. I

219
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: was talking about immigration enforcement and the interior, but with

220
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: the border and with the cartels too, I've not forgotten

221
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: about that piece of this. We have so much to

222
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: dive into I'm gonna tell you some things going on

223
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: with the cartel that you need to know about. That

224
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: show us Trump team is very serious about that as well,

225
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: and Mexico is starting to get the Mexican government is

226
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: starting to get the message. So we are racked in stacks.

227
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: Stay with me. We'll get into that in just a

228
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: few minutes. To my fellow firearms owners, the best kept

263
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: This was my initial question about this because I think

264
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one here. I've never heard of

265
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: somebody being sent home or expelled from this country for

266
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: saying things that are anti American. There are a lot

267
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: of college professors that would fall into that category, but

268
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: those are American citizens, generally speaking, right, or at least

269
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: I think so most of them are. There's plenty of

270
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: anti Americanism on the left, but if you're a citizen,

271
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: you're allowed to be You're allowed to hate America. It's

272
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: called the Democrat Party, right. I think you have to

273
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: have some problem, big problems with America. But here we

274
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: have cent sorry I did it, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

275
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: who is just laying it out and he's saying, look,

276
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: you be you're gonna be a jerk who hates America.

277
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to be here, and we can send

278
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: you home. This has cut eight play it.

279
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 5: If you tell us when you apply HI, I'm trying

280
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: to get into the United States on a student visa.

281
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 5: I am a big supporter of hamas, a murderous barrack

282
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 5: group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages,

283
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 5: that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more

284
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: bodies than live hostages. If you tell us that you

285
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 5: are in favor of a group like this, and if

286
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 5: you tell us when you apply for your visa, and

287
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 5: by the way, I intend to come to your country

288
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 5: as a student and rile up all kinds of anti

289
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: Jewish student, anti Semitic activities. I intend to shut down

290
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 5: your universities. If you told us all these things when

291
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 5: you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa.

292
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: I hope we would.

293
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: If you actually end up doing that once you're in

294
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 5: this country on such a visa, we will revoke it.

295
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 5: And if you end up having a green card, not citizenship,

296
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: but a green card as a result of that visa

297
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 5: while you're here in those activities, we're going to kick

298
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: you out.

299
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: Okay, this is the authority that he has. It's on

300
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: the books. At least that's my understanding having looked at

301
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: some of the statutes that are floating around. So, yeah,

302
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, you say things and you act like a jerk.

303
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: You're a guest. The guest is sent home. There you go.

304
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: So I did not realize that they had quite as

305
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: much authority under the immigration laws as they do on

306
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: this issue. There is now Initially people are saying, oh,

307
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: but he you know, he did material support or he

308
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: committed a crime, Like, well, you can't really get in

309
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: trouble for a crime if no one charges you with

310
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: the crime, right, Like, that's where the no in this case.

311
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: It's any reason or no reason. It's like an at

312
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: will employee. It's like an at will visa situation. So

313
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: they're pulling it now. I will say there will be

314
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Democrats who will want to do the same thing down

315
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the line, and we may not like who they want

316
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: to kick out of the country, but we shall see.

317
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: In the meantime, Rubio laid it out there. It's within

Speaker 1: his authority, it's on the books. You're a guest, you

325
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: but I like having force escalation possibilities. Right, You want

326
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: to be able to go non lethal sometimes, and my

327
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: wife she doesn't. She's she's a non lethal person. She

328
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: wants to be able to carry pepper spray. She wants

329
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: to have the pepper launcher, and that's what she feels

330
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: more comfortable using. I get it. That's why we have

331
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Sabers Home Defense Pepper Projectile Launcher, small enough to hold

332

Speaker 1: four safe eight four four eight two four safe. One

339
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: of the things you have to really keep in mind

340
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: about Frump two point zero, about this new administration is

341
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: that part of the strategy is one of executive action blitzkrieg.

342
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: It is taking taking actions fast in many places and

343
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: making it really hard for the Democrat blob to keep

344
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: up to even really know what's going on. And that's

345
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: why I got to tell you doing the radio show

346
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: here with Clay day in and day out. That's what

347
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: it feels like for us, just keeping up with all

348
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: the good things. To even bring you up to speed

349
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: on all that's going on with this White House is complicated.

350
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's look, we love our job, it's amazing,

351
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: but we got to stay abreast of all these different events.

352
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: But this is on purpose, right, because one thing Democrats

353
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: used to do was a flood the zone strategy. Oh

354
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: Trump wants to do this. It's horrible. He's hitler, and

355
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: they just shout and shout and shout and try to

356
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: create some kind of momentum against it, try to stop

357
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: the momentum that Trump has. So that's why I'm sitting

358
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: here looking at what's going on with the Department of Education,

359
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: which has already lost almost half of its staff and

360
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: had off is shut down. And apparently that's just the beginning.

361
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: With the EPA under Lee Zelden, big changes underway there.

362
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: Trying to keep up with all this. The moves are

363
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: that the Christy Nome at DHS and Homan and the

364
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: White House is taking on immigration enforcement and deportations. It's

365
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: We're We've got a lot of things going on here, right,

366
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: So trying to unpack them piece by piece. By the way,

367
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: breaking news speaking of how much stuff is going on here.

368
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: Right now as I talk to you, protesters have occupied

369
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: oh boy, occupied Trump Tower and are chanting freemch mood.

370
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: The guy who's about to get the boot from this country.

371
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: And as we discussed and Secretary of Rubia laid out,

372
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a right to be here and we

373
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: don't want to hear. So we're allowed to say the

374
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: government's allowed to say go home. But they're very upset.

375
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: They have let me see, not in our new t

376
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: shirts on opposing fascism is Jewish tradition, fight Nazis, not students.

377
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: These are the signs that they have in Trump Tower

378
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: right now, reading them, I see them on the screen.

379
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: These people are nuts. These people are nuts. Now this

380
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: is the spectacle that they want one thing. You can

381
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: always tell at these lib protests. They all for every

382
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: person who's shouting and screaming, and you know their nose

383
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: ring is about to fall off or whatever. They've got

384
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: people that are videotaping all of this, you know, videotaping

385
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: themselves because this is really about them. This is really

386
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: about the people that are there feeling good. About themselves.

387
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: They're not really going to change anything anyway. Put that aside.

388
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: They all have matching T shirts on. This looks very

389
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: astro turf. The whole thing. We will get into this.

390
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this they're pretending this is

391
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Jews for Wow, there is a sign that is Jews

392
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: for Palestinian freedom. Just let that one. Let that one

393
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: sink in for a second. Think about that right now,

394
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: holding up that sign. Given what's going on over there,

395
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, there are no Palestinians holding

396
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: up stop murdering Jews in Israel signs. In fact, there

397
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: are no Palestinians and any numbers holding up signs that say, hey,

398
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: Jews are people too. Maybe we should just learn to

399
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: live with them. This is the reality of this conflict.

400
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: Oh boy. So anyway, Carol Markowitz, the good news is

401
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: she's joining us the third hour. She's all over this issue.

402
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk to her about it. You know her from

403
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: the clam Buck podcast network. I want to talk go

404
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: back to the border here for a second. And I

405
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: know I'm throwing a lot of things at you. It's

406
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: great that we have a podcast of the show. So

407
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: if you want to go back and hear some of

408
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: the details, or if you had to do something at

409
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: the office. I love that some of you sneak Clay

410
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: and Buck show in your ear with like an earbud

411
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: when you're stuck in a cubicle somewhere. It reminds me

412
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: of like Neo and the Matrix and the cubicles, like

413
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: we're part of the resistance with you, you know what

414
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But if you had to step away for

415
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: a second because Lumberg wanted to make you write some

416
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: TPS reports, you can always go back to the podcast

417
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: that brings me to the border and some stuff I

418
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about that actually is not

419
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: really in the news cycle, but I think is very interesting.

420
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: I think is a is a big deal right now.

421
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: First of all, you have a lot of talks so

422
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: far about how the border the illegal crossings down ninety

423
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: five percent. I think it is called it roughly ninety

424
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: five percent. So the human trafficking problem at our border

425
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: in less than two months has been solved by Trump.

426
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Any other issue that I would talk to you about

427
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: that's of public public concern now policy concern. If I

428
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: said this number is too high and you came to

429
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: me and said, well, the administration will bring it down

430
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: ninety five percent in the first sixty days. You would say,

431
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: come on, come on, not possible. They've done it ninety

432
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: five percent. Now, on the one hand, this is high

433
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: fives and congrats to the White House for getting it done,

434
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: and we're thankful that they're following through on this promise.

435
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: But there's also I have to balance that with the anger,

436
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: the rage of oh so Biden really did just make

437
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: it a wide open border. The Biden regime. And I

438
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: said it all along, Clay and I have talked about

439
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: this with you all along, that they were choosing a

440
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: wide open border. But now we have the proof because

441
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: if you can shut it down in sixty days for

442
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: it to be ten million plus in four years, is

443
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: it was a policy, It was a strategy. They got

444
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: what they wanted. They betrayed the American people, they betrayed

445
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: our sovereignty, they betrayed the tr trust in them to

446
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: enforce the law. Whoever was signing things in Biden's name.

447
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: So all of that going on. But there's another thing

448
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: that has happened at the border too that you should

449
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: definitely know about. And it's early days in this one,

450
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: but the fentanyl seizures at the US border are showing

451
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: it is the lowest in at least three years. Already

452
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: it has dropped. I was just looking this up, looking

453
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: this up last night and had tip young Grillo, who

454
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: has been one of the best reporters on the cartels

455
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: and what's going on with the drug trade in Mexico

456
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: for He's done this for twenty years. Seventy five percent

457
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: drop according to Mexico's figures. Now you might say, oh, well,

458
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: Mexico wants to seem like they're being a good partner. Sure,

459
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: but we have a ninety five percent drop in human trafficking,

460
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: and the human trafficking and the narco trafficking go hand

461
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: in hand. End. I've explained this process before, so pardon

462
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: me if you've already heard this, but just really quickly.

463
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: When I was down at the border with Texas National

464
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: Guard back in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, or no, it

465
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, I can't even remember now,

466
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: but in some years back it was under Biden. I'm sorry,

467
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: it was under Biden, so it would have been twenty

468
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: twenty one, I think. When I was down there and

469
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: I was seeing what was going on. They would have

470
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: the human trafficking piece, the human trafficking component, meaning actual

471
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: boatloads of women and children. Now, of course that also

472
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: you have to be We got our border patrol guys

473
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: who are there, look their moms, their dads, their human beings.

474
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: They don't want at kid to drown. So they have

475
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: to be careful about the humanitarian mission now, and so

476
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: they cross with the the cartels. The coyotes do this

477
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: on purpose. They send over like a flotilla of women

478
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: and children. And then all of our border patrol resorts

479
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: they got to watch them, they got to collect them,

480
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: they got to process them, They got to, you know,

481
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: make sure that they're safe. And I saw this. They

482
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: had night vide. They gave us night vision, their night

483
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: vision to borrow so we could see night vision. You

484
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: see it down there, and then you look down at

485
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: the other end. We're on some pretty high ground. You

486
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: look down the other end, maybe a half mile a

487
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: mile out from where that happens, and guess what speedboats

488
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: a meeting, a pickup truck boom loaded with vent and

489
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: a loaded with drugs gone never to be found. Because

490
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: all the resources went to the human trafficking. So these

491
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: things go I mean, that's just one example of it,

492
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: but these things go hand in hand. The Trump administration

493
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: looks like it has brought down fentanyl imports into this

494
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: country dramatically in sixty days, because, like I said, these

495
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: things are synergistic. They work together, the human trafficking piece

496
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: and the drug trafficking piece. And that just shows you

497
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: not only are we dealing with illegal the illegal immigration issue.

498
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: Trump is dealing with it, his team is dealing with it,

499
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: but you also have a likely reduction in people's ability

500
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: to get fentanyl, and you know you're gonna bring down,

501
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully overdose deaths and everything that goes with Remember

502
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: overdose deaths, that's the leading indicator of how much of

503
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: this stuff is going on. But there's you know, there's

504
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: just family shattered, crimes committed. The amount of destruction that

505
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: fentanyl is doing to our society. It's like a weapon

506
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: of mass destruction, as we know. And bringing this down,

507
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: bringing this number under control is a huge win for

508
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. That hasn't really gotten as much attention yet, right,

509
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: hasn't really gotten as much attention, So I think that's

510
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: really interesting. Something else I wanted to note Mexico is

511
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: waking up to the fact that Trump is not playing games.

512
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: He's serious about this stuff. He's serious about using the

513
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 1: threat of tariffs to get greater cooperation from our partners

514
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: at the border. And there seems to be there be

515
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: some indications that Mexico might be getting ready for some

516
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: major actions on the cartel. We've discussed this a little

517
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: bit in the past. I don't know how many of

518
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: you have even heard about this, but this is Attorney

519
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: General Pam Bondi. This was from the Office Public Affairs

520
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: in the DOJ. The United States took custody. This was

521
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks. This is just the last

522
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of twenty nine cartel bosses, I mean,

523
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: big names in the cartel world. We took them from Mexico.

524
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: We took custody of them. Claudia Sinbaum, who is the

525
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: President of Mexico, has said, you know what I'm you

526
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: want them, you got, I'm sending them even in cases

527
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: it seems so far, I think some of this is

528
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: now going to be adjudicated in the Mexican court system.

529
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Whatever that means. Whole other com conversation. Uh, but they've

530
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: been taken into US custody. These drug cartel and I'm

531
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: talking about from Sinaloa Cartel Jalisco and Nuevo Generacion Cartel

532
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: c CJ and g Noweva Familia Michuacana Cartel Digulfa, the

533
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: Gulf Cartel, I mean the big names, big bosses from

534
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: the big name cartels in the last two weeks have

535
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 1: been sent to America to our federal prison system. The

536
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: facility I think it's the facility in Brooklyn that's near

537
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 1: the Navy. Is that the MCG I think it is.

538
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: There's the Manhattan one, which that's the one where Epstein

539
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: quote killed himself. Put that aside, and then there's the

540
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: one in Brooklyn. I think the one in Brooklyn now

541
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: has p Diddy. I think it has it has Sam

542
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: Bankman freed it had and now it has one of

543
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: the top or a couple of the top cartel guys

544
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: that Mexico has had in custody, I mean, big, big aims,

545
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: and they're taking them or they've they've extradited them to

546
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: US already without going through the process of making sure,

547
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: this is my understanding of it, that they can't be

548
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: executed here. Some of these guys are wanted for ordering

549
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: dozens really realistically hundreds of murders some of these individuals,

550
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: and they're now in US custody and it's the Trump

551
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: administration now that's going to be bringing charges. So some

552
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: of these cartel guys who thought, oh, I'll ride it

553
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: out with this Mexican government and you know, eventually I'll

554
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: either break out or I'll pay somebody off and I'll

555
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: get out early or whatever. Now some of these guys

556
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: are facing possibly the death penalty because there were there

557
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: were the Pambondi's DJ was not going to give any

558
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: concessions to the Mexican government. Oh no, we won't. They

559
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: were extradited without those assurances. So this is you see

560
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: how that that is an escalation that is really interesting

561
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: for where things are right now. Are you know, are

562
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: we going to start going in uh with more more

563
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: resources against the cartels, like I said, human trafficking down,

564
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: sentinel down. There are reports that we are flying drones

565
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: just for surveillance purposes now, more than people have seen

566
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: in the past over Mexican airspace. I can neither confirm

567
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: or deny, right, I don't know, but there are reports

568
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: about this, like we might be gearing up for something.

569
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: So just remember that I told you about this because

570
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: some of these pieces. The fact that you've had this

571
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: unprecedented mass extradition of cartel bosses to the US facilities,

572
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: federal facilities in Houston, Chicago, New York, Phoenix, San Antonio.

573
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: They have dispersed the cartel leadership to US prisons where

574
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: they ain't getting out. Something's going on here. They're gett

575
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: they're getting ready. They're getting ready for some kind of

576
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: a move. This Trump team is not messing around. All right?

577
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: How awesome is it to come home after a long

578
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: day to the delicious smell in the kitchen, especially when

579
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: it's a steak. Look, Kerry is an amazing cook. It's

580
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: my fault for eating too much of her delicious food.

581
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: But you know it wasn't what I was trying to

582
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: cut some LB's. The fact that my wife makes amazing

583
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: food was not helping, including amazing homemade ice cream. Put

584
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: that aside. We cook a lot of steak here, and

585
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: actually tonight is going to be Burger night in our house,

586
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: and the burgers come from our friends at Good Ranchers.

593

Speaker 1: friend last night who sent me a video, not video,

594
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: a photo of his box from Good Ranchers. He said,

00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: you get your podcasts.

615
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: We've been talking already about the border, immigration, the protest

616
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: of lunatics in Trump Tower. They're getting arrested, the flex

617
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: cuffs have been going on. You know, no surprise there.

618
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: They definitely earned that one. Some of the crazier signs

619
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: I've seen it at protests in a while, kind of

620
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: up there with the you know, trans students for Palestine,

621
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: trans students for Hamas. I don't know if those trans

622
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: students really know very much about Hamas. I'll put that

623
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: out there. But we've got all that happening, and we've

624
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: got more also dive into on the economy. I will

625
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: get to that. I think today is a busy day

626
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: of things going on here. Let's talk Department of Education,

627
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: and we have education. First of all, the Department Education

628
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: has gotten a bunch of cuts. They've had people who

629
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: are told sorry you are you are no longer employed here.

630
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: Thirteen hundred employees. Offices were closed. Now, I think it

631
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: is probably the case that a lot of Democrats are

632
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: thinking to them or a lot of these individuals and

633
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: Democrats are thinking, well, the worst is over. It turns

634
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: out no, from their perspective, I don't think the worst

635
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: is over. Education Secretary McMahon spoke on this this is

636
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: cut nineteen. Here's what she said. Is this the first

637
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: step on the road to a total shutdown?

638
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 6: Yes, actually it is, because that was the president's mandate.

639
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 6: This directive to me, this clearly is to shut down

640
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 6: the Department of Education, which we know we'll have to

641
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 6: work with Congress, you know, to get that accomplished.

642
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: But what we did today was to take the.

643
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 6: First step of eliminating what I think is bureaucratic bloat.

644
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 6: And that's not to say that a lot of the folks,

645
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 6: you know, it's a humanitarian thing to a lot of

646
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 6: the folks that are there, you know, they're out of

647
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 6: a job. But we wanted to make sure that we

648
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 6: kept all of the right people, the good people, to

649
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 6: make sure that the outward facing programs, the grants, the

650
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 6: appropriations that come from Congress. All of that are being

651
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 6: met and none of that's going to fall through the crack.

652
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you have it. She's saying, straight up, we're

653
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: going to shut this thing down. This is not this

654
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: is not just oh they came out, they came out

655
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: with this big thing right away, but things are going

656
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: to settle down. No, they're not going to settle down.

657
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: They're going to try to shut down their work with

658
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: Congress to do it. There's some things that still need

659
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: to get squared away with the legislative branch, but they're

660
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: going to try to shut down the entire department. I

661
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: just thought this was interesting that now they're in a position,

662
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: right the cuts have been made, as Doge and Trump

663
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: and Elon and everybody have been saying they would be

664
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: there's more coming. But I mean, they're making these cuts.

665
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: This is not just rhetorical. This isn't just to get

666
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: the base fired up. Now the New York Times and

667
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 1: others are in a position where they have to explain, well,

668
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: why do we care if the Department of Education has

669
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: lost thirteen hundred employees and what difference does that make

670
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: to the American people that they have to explain this

671
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: to us and the New York Times comes out with this,

672
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: which I just think is perfect, unintentionally perfect. Our schools

673
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: succeeding Trump Education department cuts could make it hard to know.

674
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: At least eight I'm reading here from the New York Times,

675
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: at least eight hundred Education Department research employees and outside

676
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: partners have lost jobs. The cuts will decimate research and

677
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: collection data. So we're paying We're paying hundreds of people.

678
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: We're bringing hundreds of people to tell us the same

679
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: thing every year for the last fifty years, which is no. Nationally,

680
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: the education system is not improving. No, the test scores

681
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: gap among different student ethnicities has not been closed. No,

682
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: test scores of low income students, especially low income students

683
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: from non to parent households, have not improved. We got

684
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: hundreds of people that are just there to tell us

685
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: what we already know. And why can't a state do this?

686
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: Why does the federal government have to do some kind

687
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: of number about what's going on in schools nationwide that

688
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: doesn't really tell us anything. What tells us something is, hey,

689
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: in this school district administered by the county or the

690
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: state of whatever the state is, here's what's going on.

691
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: Returning this to the states makes so much sense. Would

692
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: the federal government. Should the federal government be in charge of,

693
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, waste management collection in your neighborhood, you know

694
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: you want the federal government. No, we all understand that's

695
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: a very localized issue and so that's left up to

696
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: municipalities and localities. Why would the federal government think that

697
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: it needs to be in the business of education. Well,

698
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: as we know, this department was created but a few

699
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: decades ago, and it has done. They should be able

700
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: to scream about what we're going to miss out on

701
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: if the Department of Education goes away, because and they would,

702
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: as you know, they should be able to say, oh,

703
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you cut the This is the fireman

704
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: first theory. Whenever you try to cut the budget in

705
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: any city, they go, we won't have enough firemen, and

706
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: then you know, the buildings will all burn down. You go, okay,

707
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: look we need firemen, right, So yeah, if you're going

708
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: to cut the fireman budget, you know we need cops.

709
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: If you're going to cut those budgets, there's a consequence

710
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: that people can understand, and that's why we fund those things.

711
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: That's why there are that's why there are fire departments

712
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: and police departments, et cetera. Right, very straightforward. What are

713
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: we missing out on if the Department of Education goes away?

714
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 3: Notice they oh, but we got people that are looking

715
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: at the metrics and doing a cross section of the.

716
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: Blow body blah, nothing. Nothing. If you can't tell me

717
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: why an entire department going away isn't going to be

718
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: a problem for me, the department shouldn't exist. I think

719
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: that's quite clear if you said, hey, buck, I mean

720
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: as much as the State Department is a bunch of

721
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: uh now, not all of them. And I have to

722
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: say this because you know, I know, I know, I

723
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: know a few former Marines who became Foreign Service officers,

724
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: like you know, they are real patriots work in the

725
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: State Department. Let's not forget about that. But in general,

726
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: it's a left wing, radical, lunatic institution. In general, there's

727
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: a lot of that there. And I know because I

728
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: used to deal with them when I was in the CIA,

729
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: and the CIA was like, I mean, even before Trump

730
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: came along, we were a lot of US were MAGA

731
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: compared to the State Department. All right, State Department and

732
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: USAID is like Fidel Castro should have been running that place.

733
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: They're so left wing. I don't even know what to say. So,

734
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, everybody was left of All these institutions were

735
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: left of center. And I'm going back here over a

736
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: decade obviously, but CIA was the most center right because

737
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: we had the paramilitaries and we had you know, case

738
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: officers and some analysts like me who were conservative, you know,

739
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: loved them, loved America. I didn't think that we were

740
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: the problem in the world. Then you go to State Department,

741
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: little left of the CIA, and then you go to USAID,

742
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: which is you know, Commieville, as we know, just straight

743
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: straight out of Moscow in the day. So with all

744
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: this though, the State Department, if you told me, hey, Buck,

745
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just get rid of that, I'd say, no, no, no,

746
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: there's a federal there's a federal need for the state.

747
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: Foreign relations is a constitutional duty of the federal government.

748
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: We do need to have foreign you know. So, and

749
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: that's very straightforward, right if you if someone came to

750
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: me and they said, why why do we need a

751
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: Department of Justice, Well, if we're going to have federal law,

752
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: which we need to have federal laws, we do need

753
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: to have some body that enforces it, not corruptly and

754
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: for a part as an agenda like Biden did. But

755
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: we do need you know, it's clear, that's why we

756
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: have it. The OE Department of Education. They can't even

757
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: make the case. This New York Times article. I read it,

758
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, great, get rid of these people. We don't

759
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: need them that they do nothing. They are not helping,

760
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, they pass out federal funding grants and things

761
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 1: like this. We don't need them distributing these dollars. Let's

762
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: let the states take this thing over and let's get,

763
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: if anything, more dollars to the states from the federal government.

764
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: If that's what Trump and the Congress decides to do,

765
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: give it to the states that can use it better

766
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: instead of having it parse through the hands of passed

767
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: through the hands of bureaucrats at the Department of Education.

768
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: But this when you have the head of an agency saying,

769
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: my mission is to shut down this agency. The Trump

770
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 1: memo has been received. Everybody, this is real, this is happening.

771
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say this. Tulci Gabbard. I like

772
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: Tulsi very very a good lady who I think is

773
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: going to do a good job, and a patriot and

774
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: everything else. She should fix the she should fix the

775
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: intelligence community as much as she can, and then she

776
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: should self destruct. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

777
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: It should not exist. It's a joke. It's just oversight

778
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: on top of oversight, on top of bureaucracy. There is

779
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: no need for a DNI. It used to just be

780
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: the CIA director was the conduit for the intelligency. That

781
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: could be the case again. You don't need all right,

782
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember being in the Oval office with

783
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: I think it was Clapper. That was a Clapper. I

784
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: can't even remember who the Director of National Intelligence was

785
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: back under the early days of Obama or early I'm sorry,

786
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: latter days of Bush. It's been a long time. Like,

787
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: what is this guy even doing here? I don't need it,

788
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, showing up at a briefing. I don't need this

789
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: guy here. This is ridiculous. So od and I should

790
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: go away, NCTC should go away, and the people who

791
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: work in these places should find gainful employment. A lot

792
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: of them have impressive educational credentials. They've gotten some interesting experience,

793
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of different things that they could do,

794
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: you know, maybe go work at DOZE and help find

795
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: where the billions of dollars are getting are disappearing to

796
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: in some of these fraudulent transactions. Right, there's plenty of

797
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: stuff for them to do. And I think that what

798
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: we're seeing right now is the Trump agenda at the

799
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Department of Education and these other places is being enacted,

800
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: which is fantastic. It's not rhetoric, it's not just talk.

801
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: It makes me very happy. The other thing is you

802
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: have to remember when it comes to government bureaucrats, there's

803
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: the expense and the harassment of bureaucrats in these places,

804
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: in these different agencies who don't need to be there,

805
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: who aren't really doing anything. The expense we all understand, right,

806
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: you're paying salary, health benefits and all this as a taxpayer.

807
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: The federal government has gotten way too big, there's no

808
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: question about that. It's way too big. So that expense

809
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: is being borne by the tax payer. But then on

810
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: the harassment side of things, you have people who want

811
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: to justify their existence in these roles, and so they decide, well,

812
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to do stuff. But this is true. You

813
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: go into like fishing fish and wildlife or fishing game

814
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: or whatever it's called. You go into a whole bunch

815
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: of different You got EPA. Oh, we're going to talk

816
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: EPA in a second. These bureaucrats are shown up, they're

817
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: getting paid. You know what they want to do. They

818
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: want to tell you what to do, and they show

819
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: up with an agenda, they show up with an ideology,

820
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: and then they make sure only people get hired and

821
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: only people get promoted in these agencies who share that ideology,

822
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: which is always left wing, especially at the EPA, especially

823
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: at USAID, et cetera. And then they find ways to

824
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: implement through the regulatory and rule making powers that they

825
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: have at these agencies, which they shouldn't have. They find

826
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: a way to say, you know what you're going to

827
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: do this now? Oh you think you're going to You

828
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: think you're going to drain that pond in your backyard.

829
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: That's a wet land. We'll find you ten thousand dollars

830
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: a day. Crazy stuff going on. So there's the cost

831
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: of the bureaucrats to the pocketbook and the cost of

832
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: the bureaucrats in frustration and time. And that, my friends,

833
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: is why getting rid of this nonsense is so important.

834
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: It's a double whammy. Look, President Trump is going to

835
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: tell you that our nation's inflation rate is lowering, and

836
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: it is going to be in the long term. I

837
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: think that's looking very good. But in the meantime, what

838
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: can you do to prepare for some rocky financial future.

839
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: The best hedge against inflation is gold. I actually just

840
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: was looking at my gold yesterday that I got from

841
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: the Birch Gold Group. I bought it a couple of

842
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Showed up so easy. It's fantastic. I've got

843
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: the gold bars. I've stored them in my safe because

844
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: I want to have gold as part of my portfolio.

845
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 1: I've done this for years. Buying gold right now makes sense.

846
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: The price of gold has already hit an all time

847
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: high in the first three months of this year, and

848
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: it could be hitting another one soon. Look at how

849
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: gold is doing right now. You want to talk about

850
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: a safe have an asset gold versus crypto, Take a

851
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: look at this. I'm just saying, go check out gold
