1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: It was a prediction that Donald Trump made when he 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: was running for president. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: He said, if you elect me, guess what's going to happen. 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: There are going to be people that are going to 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: self deport because I'm in charge, and they're going to 6 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: realize that it's just not worth staying here. Wow, we 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: have actual law and order. Well that became a reality, 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: and the Associated Press is now running this headline, one 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: point two million immigrants are gone from the US labor 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: force under Donald Trump. Preliminary data is now confirming it's 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: tomato season. The article begins, and Lydia is harvesting on 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: farms in California's Central Valley. She is also anxious attention 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: from US Immigration and Customs enforcement could up in her 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: life for more than twenty three years after she illegally 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: crossed the US Mexico border as a teenager. The worry 16 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: is they will pull you over when you're driving and 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: ask for your papers, is what Lydia said the Associated 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: Press don't worry. She's not using her last name because 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: the APS will protect her. She went on to say, 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: we need to work, we need to feed our families, 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: and we need to pay our rent. Well, there's also 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: Americans that need the exact same thing, And what we're 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: witnessing is many Americans are saying we should put American 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: workers first. Well, here's the reality. More than one point 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: four million immigrants have disappeared from the labor force from 26 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: January through the end of July, according to the Census 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Bureau data analyzed by the Pew Research Center. That includes 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: people who are in the country illegally as well as 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: legal residents, but the majority are illegals. Immigrants make up 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: almost twenty percent is the claim of the US workforce, 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: and data shows forty five percent of workers are in farming, fishing, 32 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: forestry they are immigrants. According to the Pew Senior reyat 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: searcher Sephany Kramer, about thirty percent of all construction workers 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: are immigrants and twenty four percent of service workers or immigrants. 35 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: She went on to add the loss of immigrant workers 36 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: comes as the nation seeing the first decline and the 37 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: overall immigrant population after the number of people in the 38 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: US I legally reached an all time high they claim 39 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: of fourteen million in twenty twenty three. Many believe that 40 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: number is off by as many as ten to twelve million. 41 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: It's unclear how much of the decline we've seen since 42 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: January is due to voluntary departures to pursue other opportunities 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: and avoid deportation removals under reporting of other technical or 44 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: other technical issues. Kramer said, However, we don't believe that 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: the preliminary numbers indicate net negative migration are so far 46 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: off that the decline isn't real. So where they saying, yes, 47 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: it's real. People are leaving on their own. Trump campaign, 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: by the way, on the promise to deport millions of 49 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: immigrants working in the US illegally, and he said he 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: is focusing on deportation efforts also of dangerous criminals first. 51 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: But most people detained by ice have no quote, criminal convictions, 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: is what the left said. So they believe they should 53 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: all take away American jobs, which brings me to part 54 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: two of the story. Guess what's happening. Americans are actually 55 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: now making more money because of these self deportations. 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 2: That's right. 57 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: We are seeing a rise in pay which is helping 58 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: American families. The broader economic research is consistently finding that 59 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: right now we are seeing more Americans are making more 60 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: money than they did before. The National Employment Law Project 61 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: its study found that if eight point three million undocumented 62 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: immigrants were deported, the resulting economic impact could lead to 63 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: seven percent increase in pay instantly. The Baker Institute also 64 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: reports that pass mass deportations, they claimed lower wages and 65 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: cost job losses. But what we're witnessing right now is 66 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: the opposite of that, because the unemployment rate has actually 67 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: gone down over the same period of time, not up. 68 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: So what does it mean. It means that Donald Trump 69 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: and what he is saying is actually working. Quote average 70 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: hourly wages have not decreased as the left promise and 71 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: the media said, what's going to happen. In fact, they 72 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: have accelerated, rising by zero point four percent over the 73 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: last month. Yes, in May, for example, it went up 74 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: zero point four percent to thirty six twenty four in 75 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: May as businesses adjusted to a tighter labor supply as 76 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: many were self deporting. Now this also goes in the 77 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: face of the argument that there would be fewer jobs 78 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 1: Americans would take than Americans would do the jobs illegal 79 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: immigrants are doing. All of that has also now been 80 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: a lie. A labor economist of the Federal Reserve Bank 81 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: in Dallas said immigrants normally contribute at least fifty percent 82 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: of job growth in the US. But what we're seeing 83 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: now is Americans coming out of the woodwork for the 84 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: jobs that they couldn't get before because they were taken 85 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: by illegal immigrant labor. 86 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: Quote. 87 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: The influx across the border, from what we can tell, 88 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: is essentially stopped, and that's where we were getting millions 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: and millions of migrants over the. 90 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: Last four years. 91 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: That has a huge impact on the ability to quote 92 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: create jobs now. You can also go back to the 93 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: fear mongering story from the AP. Their subheadline was crops 94 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: did go to waste. Just across the border from Mexico 95 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: and Mcowan, Texas, corn and cotton fields are about ready 96 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: to harvest. Elizabeth Rodriguez worries there won't be enough workers 97 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: available to deal with the gens and other machinery once 98 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: the fields are cleared. They say immigration enforcement actions at 99 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: farms are hurting them, businesses and construction sites. They say 100 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: it's bring everything to a standstill. Rodriguez, by the way, 101 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: is the director of farm worker Advocacy for the National 102 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: farm Worker Ministry that loves illegal immigrant labor. So there 103 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: is two sides the story. Yes, it's not good for 104 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, right now. And yes, they're trying to fearmonger 105 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: you that you're not going to have anything on the shelves. 106 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: You may remember, by the way, that's the exact same 107 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: fear mongering they said when they said Donald Trump was 108 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: going to ruin our economy with a terrif fight that 109 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: he was willing to take to other countries that were 110 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 1: taking advantage of the United States of America. Well, guess 111 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: what they lied to you then, and they're lying to 112 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: you now. In fact, in May, during the peak of 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: our watermelon and cantalop season, it delayed it. A lot 114 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: of crops did go to waste, is the new claim 115 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: from the Associated Press. When asked to back it up. 116 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: What are we actually seeing, Well, not a lot of 117 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: data to back that up at all. In fact, there 118 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: were plenty of Americans that had no problem finding a 119 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: water melon, that's right. So what's gonna happen next. It 120 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: is clear that the President of the United States of 121 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: America is going after illegal immigrant laborers, and many of 122 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: them are saying it's just not worth it anymore. 123 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: Business is not good in. 124 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: America if you're an illegal immigrant, because Donald Trump is 125 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: actually enforcing the laws and most of the men and 126 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: women who work in the farms. For example, in California, 127 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: our contractor provided day laborers. There were days earlier this year, 128 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: they say, when crews would be smaller. One of those, 129 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Lisa Tate, manages her family business that grows citrus fruits, 130 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: avocados and coffee on eight ranches and eight hundred acres. 131 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: And what did she say, Well, she's concerned. She said 132 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: there were days this year when the cruise were just smaller. 133 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: She's hesitant to place the blame on immigration policy, but 134 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: she fears that ice raids spread quickly. 135 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: So what is she actually doing. She knows what she's doing. 136 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: It's very clear that the labors that she is using 137 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: for day labor are probably you guessed it, illegal immigrants. 138 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: And dozens of area farm workers were arrested late this spring, 139 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: sending another message the present is not messing around. 140 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: Quote. 141 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: People are being taken out of the laundry mats off 142 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: the side of the road, Tait said. Lydia, the farm 143 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: worker who spoke to the AP by the way through 144 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: an interpreter, sent her biggest fear is being sent back 145 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: to Mexico. Now, at thirty six, she's married with three 146 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: school aged children who were born in the US. It's interesting, 147 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: by the way, she's been here for so long but 148 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: still has decided not to learn English. 149 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: Quote. 150 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll be able to bring my kids, 151 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: said Lydia. I'm also very concerned. I've had to start 152 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: from zero if I left. My whole life has been 153 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: in the United States of America. So there's the fear 154 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: mongering for the ap but if you look at the reality, 155 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: more Americans now are able to provide for their families, 156 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: and they're also making more money now than they've made 157 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: ever before. I want to talk to you about my 158 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago, I 159 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: got my new order of silver. Now I'm investing in 160 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: silver right now because the pricing on it is amazing 161 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: and the. 162 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: Upside well, it's real. 163 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It 164 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one 165 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: hundred ounces.

Now, lots of those drugs have 205 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: been stopped because we have secured the border, but the. 206 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: President says that's not enough. 207 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: And now we're seeing what is next on the present's agenda. 208 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: The United States has significantly ramped up its military presence 209 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: in the Southern Caribbean. We are now learning this started 210 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: in late August and now in two September, as the 211 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: US Navy has deployed around seven to eight warships, including 212 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: very large cruisers, amphibious assault vessels, and at least one 213 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: nuclear powered submarine. That's not all more than four thousand 214 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: US personnel, including about twenty two hundred Marines, are now 215 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: operating in the area. This build up includes surveillance aircraft 216 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: and even a US spy plane. We're being told the 217 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: stated objective is actually very clear combat drug cartels, and 218 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has framed this deployment as part of 219 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: a broader campaign against Latin American drug trafficking and criminal networks. 220 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: Officials have labeled Venezuelan President Maduro as a narco trafficker, 221 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: boosting the reward for his capture now to fifty million dollars, 222 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: and designating his alleged cartel of the SUNS a terrorist organization. 223 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,239 Speaker 1: Merdua's reaction has been fierce. He's armed and mobilized and defiant. 224 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: President Maduro taking strong countermeasures, deploying troops along the coast 225 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: and Columbia border. He's also called on citizens to join 226 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: civilian militias and warned he would quote constitutionally declare republic 227 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: in arms if the US forces attack. Maduro and other 228 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: Venezuelan officials are now accusing the US of using anti 229 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: drug rhetoric as a pretext for regime change and gunboat diplomacy. 230 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Here's more about the move from Fox News call. 231 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 3: The US is deploying destroyers and thousands of marines towards 232 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,239 Speaker 3: Venezuela as President Trump looks to crack down on Kurtels 233 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: and the Madudo regime. They could reportedly reach the country's 234 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: coast as soon as tomorrow. Here to discuss is dissident 235 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: project speaker and an immigrant from Venezuela, Jorgue Galitia, along 236 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: with frager U political commentator and Venezuelan political refugee Franklin Carmargo. 237 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 3: So great to have you both on. I'm going to 238 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 3: start with you, corde Ke. What is the reaction to 239 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 3: Venezuelan's I know you guys are in close contact with 240 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: people who are living there right now. Over seventy eighty 241 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: percent of the country voted for the opposition party against Madudo. 242 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: How are they feeling in this moment, knowing that these 243 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: destroyers are coming so close to the Venezuelan coast. 244 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, Rachel, thank you for having me again. 245 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 5: I think how many people in Venezuela are extremely optimistic. 246 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 5: They cannot really be loud about it because they're facing 247 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 5: a terrible criminal regime. 248 00:14:59,680 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: Yah. 249 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 3: I spoke to one of the opposition activists who was 250 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: holed up in that embassy for over a year before 251 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: she was rescued, And I asked her and she said, 252 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: it's a silent euphoria. And so while they're quietly celebrating 253 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 3: what President Trump is doing right now in Venezuelan and 254 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: frankly for the whole Western hemisphere Franklin, meanwhile, Venezuelans who 255 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 3: are living abroad are putting out the most remarkable TikTok 256 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: Instagram videos I've ever seen. You're seeing the destroyers coming 257 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: into the ocean and the planes coming overhead and YMCA playing, 258 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: and just the euphoria from the dissident community who's abroad 259 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 3: is so palpable and thankful to the administration. Give us 260 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: more context to that. 261 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 6: Yes, the Venezuela and people recognizes that the Truma administration 262 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 6: is probably one of the biggest allies that freedom fighters 263 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 6: Venezuela freedom fighters have had over the last twenty five years. 264 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 6: Is someone who has read recognized that Maduro is not 265 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 6: just a threat to South America's not just a threat 266 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 6: to Venezuelans, but it's also a threat to the American people. 267 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 6: And I think it is the most important thing to 268 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 6: mention right now when we talk about Nicolas Maduru. When 269 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 6: we talk about the Venezuelan regime, we're not just talking 270 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 6: about a government that we dislike or a dictatorship, a 271 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 6: soft dictatorship. We're talking about a narco state, a government 272 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 6: that produced over twenty five percent of the entire cocaine 273 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 6: that is produced in the entire world. It's also a 274 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 6: regime that sent Trendoraga, the same criminal organization that killed, 275 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 6: for example, Lake in Riley, or that killed Joseline Noungarai. 276 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 6: So there is a need for the American people, for 277 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 6: the well being of the American people in the Western hemisphere, 278 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 6: to have a regime changed to stop to stop these cartels. 279 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 6: But Venezuelans recognized that Trump is an ally that the 280 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 6: US government is probably the biggest vote that we currently have. 281 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: Now you hear the stats there, and it's very clear 282 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: that not only is this in essence a failed state, 283 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: it's a state where the people rose up against Maduro 284 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: and he just clung to power anyway, And now we 285 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: know that he is nothing but a narco terrorist. It 286 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: is a terrorist organization that he's a part of, and 287 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: his money is coming directly from the cocaine that he 288 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: is delivering to the world. Yet Venezuela's president is now 289 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: accusing the United States of seeking regime change in his 290 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: country and the military deployment that has happened now, it 291 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: was authorized by President Trump in a simple effort to 292 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: disrupt drug cartel activity. It's part of the White Houses, 293 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: they described it his broader border policy. Maduro said the 294 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: build up is an intervention in his quote country's affairs, 295 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: saying this to the people, they are seeking regime change 296 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: through military threat, and that's where he also wants the 297 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: rest of the world to believe. Maduro added, quote Venezuela 298 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: is confronting the biggest threat that has ever seen on 299 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: our continent in the last one hundred years, and saying 300 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: a situation like this has never been seen. Maduro said 301 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: Venezuela won't bow to threats and that it was super prepared. 302 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: Now the Trump administration is accused again Madua of engaging 303 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: in drug trafficking, going so far as to announce that 304 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: fifty million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest 305 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: and his conviction. The fifty million dollars, that is not 306 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: a little amount of money when it comes to how 307 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: much we're willing to pay as a nation. This is 308 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: one of the biggest rewards we've ever had. Take a 309 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: listen to this from Fox as well. 310 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 5: People have wanted to do this for years. 311 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 7: President Trump putting war back in the War on drugs, 312 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 7: designating eight drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. 313 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 4: It allows us to now target what they're operating and 314 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 4: to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the 315 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 4: Department of Defense, whatever, yeah. 316 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: To target these groups. 317 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 4: If we have an opportunity to do it, we have 318 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 4: to start treating them as armed tear organizations, not simply 319 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 4: drug dealing organizations. 320 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 7: That changes the battlefield. Cartel members become enemy combatants and 321 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 7: allow the use of military assets. The question is how 322 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 7: the Navy intercepting ships carrying narcotics special operations targeting cartel 323 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 7: leaders or drone strikes on drug labs in Mexico. 324 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: Mexico probably doesn't want that. What do we have to do? 325 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: What's right? 326 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 7: Publicly, President Claudia Scheinbaum says Mexico will cooperate, but claims 327 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 7: the US plans no boots on the ground, nothing in it. 328 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 8: It has nothing to do with Mexican territory. It has 329 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 8: to do with their country. It does not involve our territory. 330 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 7: Yet most cocaine goes through Mexico, and it produces most 331 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 7: of the fentanyl that killed more than two hundred and 332 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 7: sixty five thousand Americans during President Biden's term. 333 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 8: These are armed organizations that have their own militaries. I 334 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 8: absolutely believe that we need to take action. 335 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 6: It's what type of action are we going to take. 336 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 7: But just because you don't hear about an operation doesn't 337 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 7: mean it didn't happen. Now, one of the name cartels 338 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 7: is the Venezuelan gang Trende a Agua. Last week, the 339 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 7: US slept a fifty million dollar bounty on President Nicholas Maduro, 340 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 7: accusing him of using it to help traffic narcotics into 341 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 7: the US. 342 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: Let's just stop there for a second and also just 343 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: recognize something that was said there. Under the Biden administration, 344 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: more than a quarter million Americans died from fetnol an 345 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 1: overdose from fetnol. You think about that number, and then 346 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: you think about these cartels. They've engaged in historic violence 347 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: and tear throughout our hemisphere and around the globe. They 348 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: have destabilized the economies and internal security of countries while 349 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: also flooding the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, 350 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: and vicious gangs. 351 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: That is what the Chief. 352 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: Pentagon spokesman, Sean Parnell said during a news conference this week. 353 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: He also said this it requires a whole of government 354 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: effort and through coordination with regional partners, the Department of 355 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: Defense will undoubtedly play an important role in meeting the 356 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: Presence objective to eliminate the ability of these cartels to 357 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: threaten the territory, safety and the security of the United 358 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: States and its people. As a matter of security and policy, 359 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: we do not speculate on future operations now. What is 360 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: very clear is the Presidence saying I'm not waiting around 361 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: for nations to act. I'm going to act now because 362 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: it's important that we protect and defend America's home lan 363 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: and make sure that while he's present, another quarter million 364 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: Americans don't lose their lives to FETNL overdoses, and that 365 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: doesn't count all of those that are killed by cartel 366 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: members and the violent gangs that are in America as well. 367 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: So the DC mayor has had a major chain of 368 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: her rhetoric when it comes to reversing what crime is 369 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: doing in her city. Yes, she's totally reversing course now 370 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: admitting that Donald Trump's federal crime crackdown is in fact working. 371 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: Mayor Bowser cited an eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings 372 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: during the twenty day federal law enforcement deployment. Just take 373 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: a listen to the conversation that was had on Fox 374 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: News Channel about what she said and also the data. 375 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 9: We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what 376 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 9: MPD has been able to do in this city. Well, 377 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 9: we know it's not working. Is a break and trust 378 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 9: between police and community, especially with new federal partners in 379 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 9: our community. We know having massed ice agents and the 380 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 9: community has not worked. 381 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 8: Okay, but let's listen to some residents here. 382 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 10: Navy Yard has kind of been a hot area before 383 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 10: all the you know, additional security. It was a little 384 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 10: dicey at times, especially at later times in the hour. 385 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 10: I would see fights break out whenever are just walking home. 386 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 10: But now it's a lot more quiet. 387 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 11: I'm welcome and I think it's a great idea. And 388 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 11: I have noticed that they have been cleaning some of 389 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 11: the graffiti off in some of the areas, like on 390 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 11: the highways and that kind of stuff. 391 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 8: What about the fallout of all this tough. 392 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 12: Well, we just had a poll come out yesterday ap 393 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 12: poles here eighty one percent of people think that crime 394 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 12: is a problem in major, major problem in urban areas. 395 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 12: Trump's approval rating on crime was fifty four percent in 396 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 12: that pole, and the Harvard Harris pole was fifty one percent, 397 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 12: his highest rating of any of the issues that they 398 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 12: questioned voters about. So, I think what you saw from 399 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 12: the mayor, which she said, is a bit surprising. I 400 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 12: think that's her responding to her constituents. She's hearing people 401 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 12: who were saying that, especially in the areas where crime 402 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 12: is the worst, that they feel safer and that's not 403 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 12: a bad thing. Democrats have managed to box themselves in 404 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 12: on another eighty twenty issue and are trying to find 405 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 12: a way out, and I think the mayor has recognized that, 406 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 12: and she's obviously in the middle of it. 407 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: Yet again, here Democrats on the wrong side of the issue. 408 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: This is an issue where the majority of Americans say 409 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: that they want to fill safe. In fact, for decades, 410 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Democrats have been saying this, and now what is happening. Well, 411 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump says, I'm with you. I want to 412 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: drive down crime in some of her most dangerous cities, 413 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: and Democrats are angry. Why they're coming down once again 414 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of an issue that affects millions 415 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: of Americans. And the question you should ask yourself is this, 416 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: Why would the leaders of high crime cities like Washington, 417 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: DC or Chicago object to the President helping to make 418 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: their streets safer. I'll tell you why they're panicked. They're 419 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: panic that Donald trum is succeeding exposing them as inept, 420 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: as corrupt, as leaders that really just want to control cities, 421 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: even if it means they're filled with crime. For decades, 422 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: by the way, Democrats have been struggling to overcome the 423 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: accusations on the facts that they were soft on crime. 424 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: Go back to nineteen ninety four. Trying to combat that charge, 425 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton signed a law the most sweeping anti 426 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: crime bill at the time in history, and funded actually 427 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: the hiring of one hundred thousand new police officers. It 428 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: also authorized a construction of new prisons and introduced that 429 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: three strikes law mandating lengthy jail terms for repeat offenders. Now, 430 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: Democrats are furious. They are furious that crime is actually 431 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: going down in DC, and they're also even more angry 432 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: that the President said this about you know, the prospect 433 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: of places like Chicago getting some extra hell. 434 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 13: And after we do this, we'll go to another location 435 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 13: and we'll make it safe. 436 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 14: Al So we're going to make our country very safe. 437 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 14: We're going to make our cities very very safe. Chicago's 438 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 14: a mess. You have an incompetent mayor grossly incompetent. And 439 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 14: we'll straighten that one out probably next. That'll be our 440 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 14: next one after this, and it won't even be tough. 441 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 14: And the people in. 442 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 5: Chicago, mister Vice President, are screaming for us to come there. 443 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 5: They're wearing red hats, just like this one, but they're 444 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 5: wearing red hats. African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, please, 445 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 5: President Trump, come to Chicago. 446 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 2: Please. 447 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 13: I did great with the black vote, as you know, 448 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 13: and they want something to happen. 449 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 5: So I think Chicago will be our next, and then 450 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 5: we'll help. 451 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 13: With New York, and we're going to help with and 452 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 13: I think, really, I think a lot of and a 453 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 13: lot of these people that you see on television, they are, 454 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 13: including the people in this audience. They'll say bad things 455 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 13: about me, and then they'll say thank you he's here 456 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 13: because half of them got mugged and they don't want 457 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 13: to get mugged again. But they're you know, they work 458 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 13: for a ladder, if they work for stupid people that 459 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 13: are radical left, and they're made to do things and 460 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 13: say things that they. 461 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 14: Don't want to be saying. 462 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: This goes back to the real problem. And if you 463 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: look at the present and what he's saying there, he's 464 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: absolutely right. You had Democrats that used to be in 465 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: favor of fighting crime and saving black lives. Now they're 466 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: soft on crime. Democrats' literal high water mark for cracking 467 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: down on crime was in nineteen ninety four. The party leaders, 468 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: including former President Joe Biden, are now at a point 469 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: where they apologize for being tough on crime. They literally 470 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: apologize for the nineteen ninety four crime bill it is 471 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: and then post George Floyd in that error. Democrats have 472 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: adopted policies as openly we want to defund the police, 473 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: we want to have no bail, we want to have 474 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: prison reform, we want to shut down prisons. And that 475 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: that's what made our cities, or especially the cities they 476 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: run liberal cities, so dangerous because they favored criminals over 477 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: their citizens. They also did this on the issue of 478 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: I legal immigration flooding these liberal cities with criminals. President 479 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: Trump saying, hey, I'm going to do this. I'm going 480 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: to save people's lives. We're going to reverse course on this. 481 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to go wherever I can, and if I 482 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: can send troops, I'm going to do it for one reason, 483 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: to stop the violence and to stop the killing. And 484 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: what a Democrat say, You're a dictator and a tyrant 485 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: if you do it. So now you go back to 486 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: the mayor in DC. Why is the mayor in DC 487 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: saying what she's saying now because the citizens are telling 488 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: her that they're glad this is happening. You look at 489 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: Chicago's mayor, for example. He is the complete opposite of this. Right, 490 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: He's saying, well, President Trump, if you send the National Guard, 491 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: we're going to stand up to you in the Windy City. 492 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: The most flagrant violation of our constitution the twenty first centuries, 493 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: how I described on acts and then he boasted the 494 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: city of Chicago does not need a military occupation. Those 495 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: are his words. It actually does, by the way, one 496 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: headline from this summer sets it all quote at least 497 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: fifty five people's shot, eight fatally in the fourth of 498 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: July weekend. So Brandon Johnson's like, no, no, no, no, you 499 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't want any help. Well, you clearly 500 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: need it. You need the help big time. The mayor 501 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: in his own words, talking about crime. I want you 502 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: to hear what he had to say. Listen carefully. 503 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 8: Potentially next for more expanded deportation efforts, potentially military deployments. 504 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 8: But I'm wondering, in light of that, have you seen 505 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 8: anything to confirm that or what would be the process 506 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 8: for you while learning if that were to come to pass. 507 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 15: Thank you for the question. It's not like the federal 508 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 15: government has given us any heads up, right, there's no 509 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 15: communication from the federal government with our local police department. 510 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 15: It's quite problematic. This is why we're relaunching our New 511 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 15: York Rights Campaign. There's a great deal of resistance in 512 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 15: this city around a host of things from the Trump administration. 513 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 15: The fact that again that he's removing black history right, 514 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 15: that he's attacking the LGBTQ plus community as much as 515 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 15: we possibly can, whether it's in the courts, whether it's 516 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 15: in the streets. With policy, we're going to continue to 517 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 15: defend and center. 518 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 8: For working people. And just to follow up, would you know, 519 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 8: in like, is there a procedure or anything that the 520 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 8: federal government needs to notify you before something like that 521 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 8: were to happen, a National Guard deployment or marines or 522 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 8: something like that. 523 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 15: I think it's important that the president respects the Constitution. 524 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 15: And if you're asking me if this president is going 525 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 15: to work with city leaders, it's clear that he's not 526 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 15: interested in doing that. He's not even interested in working 527 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 15: with Congress, which this is where these issues should be 528 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 15: taken up. They have not moved on anything substantive at 529 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 15: the federal level. There's no effort for comprehensive immigration reform 530 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 15: that could help repair a broken system. There's no commitment 531 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 15: to help transform our economy. There's no commitment to invest 532 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 15: in our public education system. The only thing that we 533 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 15: received from this president is his ungoing attack against equity, diversity, 534 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 15: his ungoing attack against working people. Establishing policy that ultimately 535 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 15: protects the interests of the wealthy of this country is 536 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 15: the priority that he has carried out. Anything other than that, 537 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 15: he's been a miserable disappointment and failure. 538 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing? 539 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: That the President is actually lowering crime, and the Chicago 540 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: mayor is like, oh, he's just an evil guy that 541 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: likes the rich people and then goes on these tirades 542 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: that have nothing to do with protecting his citizens, and 543 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: the President says, I'm not waiting around any longer. I 544 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: am going to protect the citizens of the United States 545 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: of America wherever I can. Don't forget share this podcast 546 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: wherever you can with your family and your friends, and 547 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: I'll see you back here tomorrow.
