Yep. 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: I'm running for governor of Florida. I announced last night, 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: and you know, look for me. I came to the 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 3: state at seventeen. I got it, you know. I got 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: off a greyhound bus in Tallahassee, Florida to go to 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: college at a trunk full of clothes and that was 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 3: about it. And I was able to build a family, 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: a career in finance, no I mean, not even dealing 20 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 3: with politics. It was before politics, and build a career 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 3: in this state and it's been wonderful to me. And 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: I want to make sure that it continues to be 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: the best state in the country far and none. You know, 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 3: we've had great leadership by Ron De Santis, and there's 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 3: been so much work that's been done to move Florida 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 3: from a purple from a blue state to a purple state, 27 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: to know a red state. And my mission is just 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: to keep it going and make it better than it's 29 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: ever been. 30 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: Byron, we're going to get into the governor race and 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 4: all those things. But I said in the first hour 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 4: that I had to ask you the most important question 33 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 4: in the mind of many people in Florida. What in 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 4: the world happened to your Florida State seminoles. One of 35 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 4: the last times you were on with us, you were 36 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 4: arguing that you should have been in the playoffs. Now, 37 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 4: I mean, are you guys even going to be able 38 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 4: to beat anybody in the acc this coming year? 39 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: You know what, that's a low blow. You weren't even 40 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: supposed to do that. But that's all right. Listen, Florida State. 41 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: It was a tough year last year. Well we'll be back. 42 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: But I still stand by what I said the year before. 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: We should have been in the play playoffs because we 44 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: had a fantastic season, but last year just things didn't 45 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: work out. So you know, we're gonna retool and we're 46 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: gonna rebuild and we'll be back. Don't even worry about it. 47 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: One thing you got to know about the Florida State Seminoles. 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: We're unconquered. We're gonna make sure we returned. We're gonna 49 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 3: be back better. 50 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 5: You know. 51 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: I don't know if you know this, Byron, but Buck's 52 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 4: wife is a Florida Gator grad. What should Buck has 53 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: never been to an FSU UF game? And it's one 54 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: of the great rivalries in all of college football? What 55 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 4: should he know about that in State Florida rivalry and 56 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 4: how bitter and frankly fantastic it has been for football 57 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 4: fans over the years. 58 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: Listen, it's one of the best rivalries in football. It's intense. 59 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: Make sure you go, and then when you go, and 60 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: make sure you go. It doesn't even matter if you're 61 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 3: in Dolt Campbell or you're in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. 62 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: It's always a great time. The teams come out and 63 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 3: play hard. The records don't even matter in these games. 64 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: It's smash mouth football. It is a great time and 65 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 3: it's the same type of rivalry like Michigan, Ohio State, 66 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: like Alabama and Auburn. It's just a great time, great feeling, 67 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 3: great event. You know, somebody win, somebody loses. You know, 68 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: Florida State's won a lot of them, but so as 69 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: the University of Florida. But look, make sure you get 70 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: out there and watch that game. It's phenomenal. I try 71 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: not to miss it. 72 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of Congressan Byern Donalds, he is running for the 73 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: next opening in the governor's mansion here in Florida, the Congress. 74 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: I want to brought it in an out nationally here 75 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: for a second, if I could. You and President Trump 76 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: have a great relationship, and obviously he has already come 77 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: forward with a full throated endorsement of you for governor 78 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,839 Speaker 1: of Florida. What are you thinking right now about how 79 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: it's all going? I mean, as you're seeing Trump and 80 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: and Doge with with Elon acting on behalf of the president, 81 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: shaking up the system, the media in retreat. Just I 82 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: wanted to get your take on is this all moving 83 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: even faster than you anticipated? And how do you want 84 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: to get in on the action and help. 85 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: It's actually moving faster than even I thought but I 86 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: will tell you that the team has been committed to 87 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: having this be done, and it's different. It's one thing 88 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: when you just have a chief executive who's mission minded, 89 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: but when you have a team around him that's also 90 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: about the same mission this. These are the results that 91 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: you get. They've been moving at warp speed and it's 92 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: a great thing to see. And I think in terms 93 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: of getting in on the action, that's just Congress doing 94 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: its job. Last night we were able to pass through 95 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: a budget resolution to start moving the president's agenda through Congress. 96 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 3: We've passed one, the bigger one, the Senate passed the 97 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 3: smaller one. But we're gonna start rocking and rolling in 98 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 3: Congress to meet the moment and meet the urgency that 99 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: the Trump administration has come back to Washington with it. 100 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: It's been a great thing. Listen. I was listening to 101 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club. There's a clip of the Breakfast Club 102 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: the other day from somebody who's a federal employee, and 103 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 3: she was saying, like she doesn't even understand why people 104 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: are complaining about how you have to like send out 105 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: an email talking about what you did and if you can, 106 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 3: if you could have put that email out then you know, 107 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: what are you doing? You might need to go find 108 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: another job, and that's on the breakfast club. I mean, 109 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: they're not known to be a bastion of conservatism in 110 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 3: America first policy, but that's what the American people are 111 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: looking for. It's time to be efficient, it's time to 112 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: just get the job done. And if you're just going 113 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: to be an impediment to that, you got to get 114 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: out the way. It's about the American people first, second, 115 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: and third, it's not about special interests. It's not about 116 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: a loaded federal bureaucracy that just gets to continue operating 117 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: regardless of elections, regardless of what are the needs of 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: the American people. 119 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 4: I know, Byron, you have a huge amount of support 120 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: already in Florida, and as you mentioned, Florida's a red state. 121 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: Now the Republican nominee is going to be the governor. 122 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 4: I think that's going to be you. Do you expect 123 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 4: very many other people to get in the race. What 124 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 4: do you think this Republican primary is going to look 125 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: like going forward? 126 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: Honestly, I really don't know. I will see. I mean, look, 127 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: my focus is just run the best race. I can 128 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: work hard, get to every part of our state, talk 129 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: to the people and earn their support. And you know, 130 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: whether it's two people, three people, ten people, I think 131 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 3: will be successful. Really I'm I'm honored to have the 132 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: president support. We're building support all over the state from 133 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: people that I served with with my time in Tallahassee, 134 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: people that I've worked with in my time in Congress. 135 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 3: And it is really a humbling feeling to know that 136 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 3: so many people support you and have your back. But 137 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: we're just going to take this campaign to the people. 138 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: It's about seeing people in their communities, addressing their concerns 139 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: and earning their support. And look, I have the you know, 140 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: I have the biggest endorsement in politics with President Trump, 141 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: but I want to go earn the endorsement from every 142 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: Floridian because, you know, for our states to continue on 143 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: the trajectory we're going, everybody's got to be a part 144 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 3: of it. It's going to be a total team effort. 145 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 4: You got the endorsement of Trump. Again, in my opinion, 146 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 4: you're going to be the nominee, and I don't want to, 147 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 4: you know, spike the football before we get to early, 148 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: but appreciate you announcing. Do you think that Governor Ron 149 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 4: DeSantis will endorse How do you think that he will 150 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 4: play it out? He's term limited out for people out 151 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 4: there who may not know, so he cannot run again. 152 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 4: Twenty twenty six, there's going to be a new governor regardless. 153 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: Are you going to ask for seek his endorsement? What 154 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 4: do you think he'll do with the race? 155 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I would love to earn it, and I 156 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: think the reason and I think honestly, you know, back 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen, you know, when Governor DeSantis, then candidate DeSantis, 158 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: had won the primary and the radical left try to 159 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: go at him because you know of a phrase he 160 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: used about referring to his opponent. You know, I went 161 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: and did media instead in the gap for him because 162 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: I believed he was going to be a great governor. 163 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: And I was proven right. He has been a great governor. 164 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 3: You know. I was there to help him win in 165 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen campaign for him, have always supported him, and 166 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, I just 167 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: want to be able to pick his brain, you know, 168 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: learn from him. You know that being the chief executive 169 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: is not easy and so there's a lot of I know, 170 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: there's a lot of advice he has. I want to 171 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: be able to lean on that, and so I would 172 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: love to be able to earn his support, and I 173 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: think there will be a time for that. We'll see 174 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: how that goes, you know, But in terms of how 175 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: the rest of the rest of the race unfolds, too 176 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: soon to tell. I'm just going to focus on my 177 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: business and really go see the people of Florida and 178 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: earn their support. 179 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: What do you think about the recent move from the 180 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: governor's office Congressman Donald's to get rid of property taxes 181 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: here in the state of Florida. I mean, that's something 182 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: that it sounds it sounds too good to be true, 183 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: but he seems serious about it. If he's not able 184 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: to get that done before the end of his term, 185 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: is that something you would look at. We already think 186 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: of Florida as a low tax state, but which is great. 187 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: But I think other states also look at this and say, well, 188 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: hold on a second, are there other efficiencies, other things 189 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: that we can do to make this an even more 190 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: not just attractive climate for businesses, but for individuals who 191 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: don't want to feel like they have to rent their 192 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: house from the state every year, which is really what 193 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: property taxes end up being. 194 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: No that's one hundred percent correct. I think, you know, 195 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: even when Governor DeSantis was in Congress, this is something 196 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 3: I believe he was advocated for, and so I think 197 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: he's serious about it. If they're successful in Tallahassee, I 198 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: would love for them to be able to do that, 199 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 3: and it's something I definitely want to look at. I 200 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: think it's important for people to understand there are a 201 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: lot of nuances when you get rid of property taxes. 202 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: So I'm not trying to hedge. I'm trying to make 203 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: sure people understand all the ramifications associated with it. But 204 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: I would be in support of getting rid of property 205 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: taxes in our state. There are other ways to raise 206 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: revenue for local government, so they can provide for police, 207 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: for fire, for roadways, and for capital improvements in building schools. 208 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: There's ways to do that. I think this is a 209 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: golden opportunity, not just in Florida's history, but in the 210 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 3: country's history to really examine new ways of doing business 211 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 3: that are far more efficient, far more responsive to the 212 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: needs and to the will of the people. And just 213 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 3: as a quick pushback for people who would say, oh, well, 214 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: getting rid of property taxes only favors people, well, who 215 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: have means or who are wealthy. Let's be perfectly honest. 216 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: Let's be intellectually honest. If you rent property in Florida, 217 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: you are paying property taxes because if you're a property 218 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: from somebody else, you're paying in part the property taxes 219 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: through your rent. So it affects everybody, whether you're a renter, 220 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 3: whether you're an owner, rich or poor, everybody's affected. So 221 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: if we're going to do this, let's look at it 222 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: intellectually honestly, and let's make sure we're doing the best 223 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: thing for everybody in our state, So especially people who 224 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 3: are or they have more access to be able to 225 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: own a home or buy a home, or whatever the 226 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: case might be. But then from a government perspective, we 227 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: are efficient in how we are levying taxes on our citizens, 228 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: and that we have to be responsive with the dollars 229 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: that we're taking from citizens to run government. 230 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: Byron Donalds. 231 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: He's announced Congressman from South Florida that he is going 232 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,239 Speaker 4: to be running for governor of the state of Florida. 233 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: Last question for you here, I own property in Florida. 234 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: I love it. Thirty A beautiful place, bucket, the. 235 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: Gulf of America. In fact, on the Gulf of America. 236 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 4: I do I own property on the Gulf of America. 237 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: Buck is going to be voting in your race. He 238 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 4: is a citizen of the state of Florida. 239 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: What does it say. 240 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: I want to go back to how you started it off, 241 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 4: because I think it's super compelling. You came to Florida 242 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 4: with nothing at seventeen years old. 243 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 2: Now you are. 244 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 4: It's a great American success story running to be the 245 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: governor of the state of Florida. What does it say 246 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 4: about the opportunity that the Sunshine State offers your career 247 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 4: path and the life trajectory that you have had. 248 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 3: We're a meritocracy, That's what Florida is. Florida's a meritocracy. 249 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 3: If you work hard enough, if you grind and look, 250 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: nothing's perfect, this pitfalls everywhere, that's just life. But if 251 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: you work hard and you grind, and you constantly are 252 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: looking forward to the next successes, things to really happen 253 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: for you in our state, you know, and I look 254 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 3: at look our current governor. He grew up poor. I 255 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: think it was Dunedin is where he grew up. He 256 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: grew up poor, and look what he's done for himself 257 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: in his life. It has been a phenomenal life for him, 258 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: Governor Scott. Governor Scott, this single parent household, like me, 259 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 3: grew up poor and look at what he's been able 260 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 3: to do in his life. And so I think that 261 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: when you take that, when you peel back the layers 262 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: of the you know, the last two men, the current 263 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 3: men to lead our state, Governor Scott before him, potentially me, 264 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 3: I think what it demonstrates is in our state, anything 265 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: and everything is possible. It's hard work, it's determination, it's 266 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: having your family and people good people around you, and 267 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: as long as you can try to put those things 268 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: together and just walk through the pitfalls that come in 269 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 3: everybody's life, success is really around the corner. So you know, 270 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: if that's what it means, is being the state's next governor, 271 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 3: that that's really a symbol of what's possible, so be it. 272 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: But it's really about everybody in our state just chasing 273 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: that dream in Florida being the land of freedom and 274 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 3: opportunity for everybody in the Sunrise. 275 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: Congressman Byron Donald's and hopefully the next governor of my. 276 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 2: Beautiful state of Florida. 277 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Congressman, appreciate you, sir.

Appreciate all 314 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: of you hanging out with us. A little bit of 315 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: a break here between guests. Actually we're going to be 316 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 4: joined by Tom Homan here in a moment we gave 317 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 4: you out all the data of just how shutdown the 318 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 4: border has become, which is pretty extraordinary. And by the way, 319 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: Byron Donald's just talking with us who were saying this 320 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: off air. If he is elected governor of Florida, and 321 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 4: I think that he will be, and if he is 322 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 4: then in does a good job, I think he will 323 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: be in the mix. Assuming that Jada we're looking years ahead, 324 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 4: but assuming jd Vance is very likely to be the 325 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 4: nominee in twenty eight, which I think he is based 326 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 4: on how things are going right now, I think he 327 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 4: would be near the top of a list for potential 328 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 4: vice presidential candidates because I think he's going to do 329 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 4: a really good job in Florida, and I think a 330 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 4: lot of the great worker on DeSantis has done setting 331 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: the table Florida, where you live and where I'd like 332 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 4: to spend a lot of time, is just going to 333 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 4: keep getting better and better. 334 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 335 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you're basically a partial resident of Florida, so 336 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: I am. You do own property here, so and it's 337 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: fine to say that on the radio, by the way, 338 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: because unlike some other places, the state of Florida welcomes 339 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: people to come here and doesn't try to tax them. 340 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: By the day. 341 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: I do in New York and California in two states 342 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: with no state income tax, so I don't have to 343 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 4: I Tennessee Obviously, I'm never leaving here, but I do 344 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: like to spend a lot of time in Florida, and 345 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 4: I can go between the two places. 346 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: Without worrying that they're going to. 347 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 4: Be trying to tax the hell out of me, because 348 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 4: neither has a state income tax. 349 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: I do think there's a similar dynamic playing out right 350 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: now in Florida and also nationwide under the Trump administration, 351 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: which is the expectations of rational people have. We have 352 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: higher expectations now for governance, which is a good thing. 353 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: There's no reason for Florida to be a poorly run, 354 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, purple to blue state with all kinds of 355 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: dysfunction and mess and no, no, no, you know, we've 356 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: come a long way. And I haven't been here long, 357 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: but the state has come a long way since the 358 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: two thousand election and all that stuff, and the same 359 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: thing I think is true now because of what Trump 360 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: is doing on a national level, you can just do things. 361 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: This is what's so amazing. Republicans have been led to 362 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: believe for a long time, and the controlled opposition criticism 363 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: I think is very valid when you see a lot 364 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: of the old Republican ways. Republicans have been led to 365 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: believe Once we win, then it's time to figure out 366 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: what the other side will let us do, which is horrible, 367 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: horrible way to try to govern. 368 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 5: No. 369 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: Trump comes in, He's like, we won, We're gonna do stuff. 370 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: Elections have consequences, very important, very important insight from Obama. 371 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: Credit where it's due. They do, and Trump is showing 372 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: everybody the consequences. Right now, we'll come back. 373 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 4: We'll talk with Tom Homan about the consequences at the 374 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 4: border in particular, and what a good job he has 375 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 4: been doing in that job shutting it down. But in 376 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 4: the meantime, I want to tell you all about the 377 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 4: work that our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians 378 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 4: in Jews doing. They are making a transformative difference for 379 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 4: so many people across the entire Holy Land. I was 380 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 4: over there in December and what they were able to do, frankly, 381 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: is flat out incredible. Whether it's protecting people who are 382 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 4: trying to protect many Israelis weather meeting security and giving 383 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 4: them vehicles that are protected, whether it is brand new 384 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 4: bomb shelters, how about giving food to people who otherwise 385 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 4: wouldn't be able to afford it. It is a transformative difference. 386 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 4: The work that is taking place in the Holy Land, 387 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 4: and we are asking you to join us.

But Trump said this about immigration, and 407 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: this was not an idea I had heard before. It 408 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: is getting some conversation going. That's one way of putting it. 409 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: Cut three, play it. 410 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 7: We're gonna be doing something else. It's going to be 411 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 7: very very good. We're going to be selling a gold card. 412 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 7: You have a green card, this is a gold card. 413 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 7: We're going to be putting a price on that card 414 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 7: of about five million dollars and that's going to give 415 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 7: you green card privileges. Plus it's going to be a 416 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 7: rep to citizenship and wealthy people will be coming into 417 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 7: our country by buying this card. They'll be wealthy and 418 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 7: they'll be successful, and they'll be spending a lot of 419 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 7: money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a 420 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 7: lot of people. And we think it's going to be 421 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 7: extremely successful. 422 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: I have a few thoughts on this. First of all, 423 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: I think ten million sounds like a better number. If 424 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: we're going to be selling green cards and calling it 425 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: a gold card. That's the first thing that I thought about. 426 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm also not sure this is going to get through, 427 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: but we'll see. I kind of think it's genius. I'm 428 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: not gonna lie and let me tell you why. There 429 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: are a lot of countries, so I'm gonna put my 430 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: wife on blast here pre Trump reelection. 431 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: Well, hold on, I'll tell you the story.

Tom Holman, Borders are, sir. 437 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: Thank you for taking a moment in the break from 438 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: among the most important, if not the most import or 439 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: a mission to the Trump administration so far, Sir, can 440 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: you just tell us we've been covering and this audience 441 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: is very familiar with the details of what has been 442 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: going on, the total shutdown of illegal crossings by over 443 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: ninety percent, all that, can you tell us what comes now? 444 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: What are the escalations, What are the things that we 445 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: should expect in the weeks and months ahead from the 446 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: perspective of border security. 447 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 5: Well as far as border security, I'm looking at the 448 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 5: numbers this morning. Are crossings compared to Biden administration. We're 449 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 5: down ninety seven percent. We're looking at about two hundred 450 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 5: apprehenses of a day, and that's down from seventeen thousand 451 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 5: under Biden, so it's a ninety seven percent decrease. The 452 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 5: most impressive number I saw was the number of gtaways 453 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 5: and twenty twenty three hundred Biden gotaways and These are 454 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 5: known gutaways. These are people who kepturing video jone traffic 455 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 5: or censor traffic that got away. They weren't apprehended because 456 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 5: borb Show was too busy dealing with the humanitarian crisis, 457 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 5: families and all that other stuff. About eighteen hundred do 458 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 5: average a day of the got aways yesterday forty one 459 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 5: forty one across two thousand miles of board. So you know, 460 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 5: I've been doing this since nineteen eighty four. I've never 461 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 5: seen that number ever. So the southern borders, it's at 462 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 5: the best place I remember it being. And President Trump 463 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 5: was able to do that in one month, right, So 464 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 5: we got some more work to do because forty one 465 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 5: got aways are forty one too many gataways. I want 466 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 5: zero gataways. Once we get zero gtaways and we can 467 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 5: say we have total operational control of the southern border 468 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 5: and we're dont get there, and I really truly believe that. 469 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 5: So we got some more things to do where the 470 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 5: gallaways are. Were flexing resources and enforce the personnel, DoD 471 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 5: and borgertrow to those areas and just said we squeeze 472 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 5: them out. We're asking Mexcro now that President Trump forced 473 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 5: Mexical military and board arrested them to appede and deny entry, 474 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 5: which means they shouldn't be touching your soil. So we're 475 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 5: working on that. We'll get to that endgame very soon. 476 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 5: The star as the interi enforcement. You know, I looked 477 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 5: at number this morning. We're just shot twenty five thousand 478 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 5: arrests in the interior United States by ICE, the vast 479 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 5: majority of them being criminals. We need to do better. 480 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 5: Like the numbers are more than twice as much as 481 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: Biden a year ago. Today, we've doubled the amount of 482 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 5: criminal rests. We've doubled amounts of ganga rests, We've doubled 483 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 5: amount of Emily Errands arrested. But I'm happy, but I'm 484 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 5: not satisfied. The numbers these be more twice of the 485 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 5: president I did personally. Nothing is not impressive to me. 486 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 5: We need to do more. So we're putting more teams 487 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 5: out there. We just brought in some contractors on to 488 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 5: increase the targeting, putting more targets out of the hotel 489 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 5: teams to go look for. We got the whole again. 490 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 5: We've got the FBI, US Marshals, DEA, AHF. All these 491 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 5: agencies are bringing any criminalisity. They have to deal with 492 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: foreign nationals, so we're working on that. I got Pambining 493 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 5: at the table now soon a sanctuary city, So are 494 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: constantly putting rodbox up and causing us to be less efficient. 495 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 5: So we've got a lot of things working. So I 496 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 5: expect those arresting the interior to rise in the very 497 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 5: near future and I'll be happier. 498 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 4: How much, thanks for coming on and thank you for 499 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 4: all the work you're doing. We're talking to Tom Homan. 500 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 4: Ninety seven percent down on border crossings, twenty five thousand arrests, 501 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 4: two times what Biden was doing on arrest violent criminals. 502 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 4: And again, the work you've done in a month speaks 503 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: for itself. You mentioned a little bit there at the end, 504 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 4: Pam Bondi being in now is Department of Justice. You've 505 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: got cash and you've got Dan Bongino now running the FBI. 506 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 4: How much opposition? There have been reports that sometimes ICE 507 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 4: is getting the raids, are being tipped off in advanced 508 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 4: from deep staters who may well oppose what you're trying 509 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 4: to do. How much do you think that is actually 510 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 4: going on? And to what extent does there need to 511 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 4: be an investigation into opposition from inside of our own government. 512 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 5: Well to an extent. One is too many, But we 513 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 5: have identified how the ly secured for a Laura Colorado 514 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 5: that's being investigating. Now we've identified that person. Uh, so 515 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 5: we'll see all that bestary turns out. But more so 516 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 5: he's going to end up at a removal and prosecution. Uh. 517 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 5: The secretary as informas that maybe at Leka came out 518 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 5: of FBI, I'm not privy to that answer is it'll 519 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,719 Speaker 5: be that way too. 520 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 3: Uh. 521 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 5: But I want to say this because the vast majority 522 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 5: of agents saw the ninety nine point nine agents out there, 523 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 5: including FI agents are doing a great job. And you 524 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 5: know they're out there taking bad guys off the street. 525 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 5: So look, once too many. We've identified one and maybe 526 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 5: another one. But I just came back from Houston, Texas. 527 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 5: I ran operation at Colony Ridge for the rest of 528 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 5: one hundred nineteen people. That operation went seamless, flawless. We 529 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 5: took a lot of bad guys to other that's a 530 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 5: cartel presence there, but they got cartail presence no more. 531 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 5: So We're gonna keep doing it and then when I'm 532 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 5: gonna stop. The biggest problem is is the sanctuary cities 533 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 5: who are constantly, uh for instance in LA they're putting 534 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 5: pictures up of our officers their names or phone numbers 535 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 5: or address them. And I've actually I met with Pam 536 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 5: bind Me this morning. I'm on the dog opinion. When 537 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 5: you put in an agency pitcher name, add this phone number 538 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 5: in a public fusic, here's are the people out doing 539 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 5: this stuff? I think that's impededment. I think that crosses 540 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 5: the line. So I want her opinion on if we 541 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 5: can go identify who's doing this to rest them, put 542 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 5: handcuffs on them. So I'm waiting that opinion. I should 543 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 5: get it any gain. 544 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: Now speaking of borders, are Tom Holman, who spent decades 545 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: as a guy on the front lines of our border 546 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: and the national security implications of our border and understands 547 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: all the ins and outs of this, and Tom on 548 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: on the issue of the of the ramp up. I mean, 549 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: you've talked about the numbers, first of all, the shutting 550 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: down the border, illegal crossings, the way that you've already done, 551 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: it's it's been phenomenal. It has shown the Democrats want 552 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: of the wide open borders. So it's a huge win 553 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: already that the Trump administration has delivered for the whole country. 554 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: But then there's the issue of the ten million plus 555 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: who came in under Biden and the millions and millions 556 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: of others who are at various stages of illegal status. 557 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 2: Here. 558 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: You know, the overall number is not something that we 559 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: seem to have a real definite sense of. But to 560 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: get to the kind of numbers that Trump was talking 561 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: about on the campaign trail would have to be a 562 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: dramatic increase in deportations. And there's some talk that's already 563 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: circulating of a private sector auxiliary, if you will. Eric 564 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 1: Prince's name has been floated as somebody involved in this. 565 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: Is that something the administration would consider, meaning bringing in 566 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: private sector to help with the deportations. And if so, 567 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: or if not, what is the plan to get these 568 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: numbers to where there are, you know, hundreds of thousands 569 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: being deported a month instead of whatever the current number is. 570 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 5: Well, I can tell you I've been told that I've 571 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 5: been sent that plan, but I seen it again and again. 572 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 5: I'm stealing with the five hundred emails a day whatever 573 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 5: about a thousand facts, So I'm slammed. But I haven't 574 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 5: seen that plan. But I've said from the beginning, we 575 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 5: need to contract a lot of this work out. What 576 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 5: I mean is non law enforce work, right. We got 577 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 5: badges and gun with immigration as already processing. We got 578 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 5: them writing warrants, We got them doing transportation, we got 579 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 5: them doing intelligence work, we got them on trans ground, 580 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 5: in air transport. I want to take every badgeing gun 581 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 5: with immigration authority and put them on the street. Things 582 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 5: that don't like We spent thousands of hours a week 583 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 5: processing illegal aliens. It doesn't take a badging gun, doesn't 584 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 5: take immigration authory. It takes some of the speak Spanish 585 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 5: to processes people before us. So I'm looking at now 586 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 5: to build out a large contract contracting a machine to 587 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 5: take law enforcement officiers, all of those non law enforced dudes, 588 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 5: to put them on the street. Of course, that takes money, 589 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 5: takes a lot of money. So I've been up on 590 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 5: a hill several times in the last couple of weeks 591 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 5: on tiers. You need to pass this boarder build get 592 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 5: us some money to do that, and the more money 593 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 5: we have, the more successful we will be. It puts 594 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 5: more agents on the street, it puts more by guys 595 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 5: in jail, and our deportation flights wh will go a 596 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 5: lot higher. But I can tell you this, uh you know, 597 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 5: I was contact by media person you know, push this 598 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 5: false narrator. Removal numbers behind Biden, but I remember Biden 599 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 5: was counting boratrol removals with ICE removals, So courses numbers 600 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 5: highingmans the people who gave were crossing the border. We 601 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 5: got the border locked down. But if you look at 602 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 5: incurior rests, just those are rested in the interiered by Ice, 603 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 5: rey more than double them. But again I'm not halfway 604 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 5: that we've had ten times more than Biden because Biden 605 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 5: wasn't doing very much. So that is the plan right now, 606 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 5: do contact and a lot of us work out. I 607 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 5: haven't seen the plan you talked about. I'm looking forward 608 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 5: to reading it. But right now we got to get 609 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 5: law enforcement officers, every one of them on the street, 610 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 5: taking away from these non enforcement duties and get them 611 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 5: doing they should be doing, putting handcuffs on a bad guy. 612 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 5: So certainly looking forward to reading it. Well the way 613 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 5: we go from there, but the whole concept, the contact 614 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 5: and that workout makes sense to me. It's what we 615 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 5: need to do. 616 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: We're talking to Tom Homan borders are doing credible work 617 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 4: so far. Two part question here One, how has Eric Adams, 618 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 4: New York City's mayor cooperation been with you so far? 619 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 4: I saw the Roosevelt Hotel was getting shut down. Second part, 620 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 4: Can Buck and I come with you on an ice 621 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 4: raid at some point to see for ourselves what your 622 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 4: crew is doing. 623 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 5: Answer to the second question, We'll make that work. We've 624 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 5: had a lot of media out there and we pulled 625 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 5: back to meet it just because we want to verify 626 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 5: the leaks. But I'm certainly don't think excusation only anything. 627 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about us to be off 628 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: back guys. 629 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, well we'll certainly we're certainly looking at at right now, 630 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 5: ride longs are are just hold while we. 631 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: Can kind of says some Tom Clay hasn't really even 632 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: been to the border, so we would love to get 633 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: with border patrol, get up in a helo, see what's 634 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: going on. I mean, I've been down many times. Well, 635 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: I want to get down with Clay. So we want 636 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: to talk to your team about that. 637 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 5: Look, we'll make that happen. Look, I've been from day 638 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 5: when I said I want to be transparent. The American 639 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 5: people show me exactly what we're doing, exactly who are wrestling, 640 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 5: exactly why we're doing it. We put a hold on 641 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 5: it just while we're dealing with these leagues. But we're 642 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 5: getting coase, getting beyond that now, so we'll fire him 643 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 5: back up. As far as Mayor Adams, well, i'll find 644 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 5: out next week. I'll be with them next week. And 645 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 5: and he's supposed to be writing executive orders getting back 646 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 5: in the Rikers. If he does that, getting us in 647 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 5: the Rikers, that's the game changer. But I know he 648 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 5: wants to do the right thing. And what what irritates 649 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 5: me is that he wants to be a law and 650 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 5: order mayor. And because he wants to be a law 651 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 5: order mayor, because he's talking to Tom Hollman in a 652 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 5: government hope wants to fire. And this is the same 653 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 5: lady who said on National TV a month ago, when 654 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 5: illegal aliens are beating up on an NYPD, when they're 655 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 5: you know, toward setting a woman on fire on the subway, 656 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 5: she says she fully supports the arrest and deportation of 657 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 5: criminal aliens, yet she wants to fire the mayor that's 658 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 5: going to let us in the Rikers Island. You're kidding me. 659 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 5: And plus she still as a green light low We 660 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 5: screens if you're an ICE agent, but if you're a 661 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 5: Borbital agent, you can't have access to New York State 662 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 5: DMV data. We spans if you're in a patrol car, 663 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 5: you're getting ready to pull somebody over, like law enforcement 664 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 5: does every day, you're runn an lice plate memories, try 665 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 5: to find out who's in that car, who owns that cars, 666 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 5: if there's wants of warns in that car. The Mendu 667 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 5: Water of Ice and Borbito do not have access to 668 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 5: that data. So so much for her words saying she 669 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 5: supports the deportation of criminalsy she continues to put roadblocks 670 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 5: instead of her fire and Mayor Adams, the voters in 671 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 5: New York need to fire her because she talks out 672 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 5: of one side of her mouth and accent differently on 673 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 5: the other side, So she should be removed. That's my opinion. 674 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: Tom Holman.

The cause of that fire 697 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: was arson. James leaves behind his loving wife, Jamie and 698 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: his children.

Find it on the 707 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 6: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. 708 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 4: We Walk Back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show what 709 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 4: a badass Tom Holman is. I just want to hit 710 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 4: some of those numbers Buck, that he gave us, because 711 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 4: sometimes I think you can get lost in numbers, and 712 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 4: I'm a data nerd. I actually like using the numbers 713 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 4: to tell a story. Ninety seven percent down on illegal 714 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 4: border crossings to two hundred a day, down from seventeen 715 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 4: thousand average every day under Biden and the known got aways. 716 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 4: And he explained that what that was Buck, Uh, you know, 717 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 4: basically they see him on camera, but they don't get 718 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 4: to them. Down to forty one in the most recent 719 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 4: day from eighteen hundred a day under Biden. 720 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: Those numbers are the godaway number and the illegal crossing 721 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: number absolutely linked because to the point about being out 722 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: of the border, I was there at night the cartels, 723 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: because the cartel's control all of it, the human smuggling 724 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: and the drug smuggling, and if you don't pay them, 725 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: you die, right. So it's so the cartel's play would 726 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: send boats of women and children that'd send like a 727 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: raft or a sort of a little motor boat across 728 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 1: the Rio Grant. And then when border patrol would gather 729 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: with them to you know, bring them water and take 730 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: care of them and make sure you know, the humanitarian 731 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: mission is being a mile down. Guess what happens just 732 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: you know, go fasts and drug mules as fast as 733 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: they can because they know that they have limited resources. Right, 734 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: So the godaways and the illegal crossings are always those 735 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: numbers are are kind of synergistic. They build on each other. 736 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: So you bring down one a lot meaning people that 737 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: are saying, oh I'm here, give me asylum. Now you 738 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 1: have the resources to prevent the god o from bringing 739 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 1: the fentanel in to kill Americans when. 740 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,919 Speaker 4: We come back. Well, actually I think we can play 741 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 4: this really quick. I will play it we come back. 742 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 4: We got a lot of you weighing in with a 743 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 4: variety of different talkbacks, but Buck, you started to set 744 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 4: the table for the question about the Golden Ticket, basically 745 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 4: as Trump is calling it, five million dollars that would 746 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 4: allow you from a foreign country to buy citizenship. Can 747 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 4: we get the audio during the break of Trump saying 748 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 4: that it could actually cure the entire federal budget deficit, 749 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 4: because that is actually super interesting to me with how 750 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 4: many people would actually be interested in this worldwidide. We 751 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 4: can lay out this plan too that's being discussed of 752 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 4: former Blackwater founder Eric Prince private sector. Tom Holman says 753 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 4: private sector is needed to get the deportations to the 754 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 4: level they should be. I'll lay out what's being said 755 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 4: about that plan and more coming up.
