- 2:16Speaker 3: Story number one.
- 2:17Speaker 5: Former President Joe Biden's recent diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer
- 2:22Speaker 5: has ignited significant political controversy and public debate, as it should,
- 2:28Speaker 5: over whether his condition was concealed during his presidency. The diagnosis,
- 2:33Speaker 5: announce on the eighteenth, revealed that Biden had states four
- 2:37Speaker 5: prostate cancer that a metastasizers bone at a glease and
- 2:41Speaker 5: score of nine, indicating a highly aggressive form of the disease. Now,
- 2:46Speaker 5: this revelation has led to widespread scrutiny regarding the timing
- 2:50Speaker 5: and transparency of his health disclosures. Critics, now including former
- 2:55Speaker 5: President Donald Trump, of question whether Biden and his medical
- 2:58Speaker 5: team were aware of the cancer earlier and chose to
- 3:02Speaker 5: withhold the information from the public, just like they did
- 3:05Speaker 5: with his cognitive decline. Trump has called for an investigation
- 3:09Speaker 5: into the matter, suggesting that the concealment of such a
- 3:11Speaker 5: serious health issue could have national security implications as well,
- 3:16Speaker 5: and that's not all Medical experts have expressed surprise that
- 3:20Speaker 5: such an advanced cancer was not detected earlier, especially given
- 3:25Speaker 5: Biden's access to premier healthcare as the president. Some have
- 3:29Speaker 5: pointed out that prostate cancer typically develops over many years,
- 3:33Speaker 5: raising serious questions now about the frequency and the thoroughness
- 3:38Speaker 5: of Biden's medical evaluations, or if they knew what was
- 3:42Speaker 5: going on and they just decided to conceal it from
- 3:45Speaker 5: the American people. The controversy has also been fueled by
- 3:49Speaker 5: the release of the new book Original Sin, which alleges
- 3:52Speaker 5: that Biden's cognitive decline began before he even took office
- 3:57Speaker 5: and was concealed by all of his top advice and
- 4:00Speaker 5: cabinet members. The book suggests as health issues may have
- 4:04Speaker 5: influenced his decision making and leadership during his presidency. In
- 4:10Speaker 5: response to the allegations, a spokesman for Biden's personal office
- 4:14Speaker 5: stated that prior to the recent diagnosis, Biden had not
- 4:17Speaker 5: been diagnosed.
- 4:18Speaker 4: With prostate cancer.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Despite all of that, many Americans are just not believing
- 4:24Speaker 5: what they're hearing, with good reason and with real doubt.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Even MSNBC and Joe Scarborough had a conversation with a
- 4:31Speaker 5: doctor about this whole episode with Joe Biden.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Here's what they said.
- 4:36Speaker 1: You're a noncologist, obviously incredibly respected. You believe that it
- 4:45Speaker 1: is likely. Just for those just tuning in, you believe
- 4:49Speaker 1: it is likely if this prostate cancer has spread to
- 4:54Speaker 1: the bone, that he could have had it for up
- 4:58Speaker 1: to a decade, but certainly likely. Would it be fair
- 5:01Speaker 1: to say it's likely to have had this for at
- 5:06Speaker 1: least several years.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Oh more than several years. You don't get prostitutions. I
- 5:14Speaker 4: just want to stop you. So your this is this
- 5:17Speaker 4: is not speculation.
- 5:18Speaker 1: If you have prostate cancer that has spread to the bone,
- 5:22Speaker 1: then he's most certainly you were saying, had it when
- 5:26Speaker 1: he was president of the United States.
- 5:29Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, he did not develop it in the last
- 5:32Speaker 6: one hundred two hundred days.
- 5:34Speaker 4: He had it while he was president. He probably had it.
- 5:36Speaker 2: At the start of his presidency in.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Twenty twenty one.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Yes, that I don't think there's any disagreement about that.
- 5:46Speaker 5: That's coming from MSNBC saying that there's no doubt he
- 5:51Speaker 5: had it probably before he became president. CBS this morning
- 5:56Speaker 5: also getting in on the action as well, talking to
- 5:58Speaker 5: their medical experts, and here's what was said.
- 6:01Speaker 2: So it took a while to do that would need
- 6:03Speaker 2: be getting regular checkups. Yeah, so it depends on the
- 6:07Speaker 2: kind of cancer you're talking about here. We do know
- 6:08Speaker 2: it's quite aggressive. Again, so the time in which it
- 6:12Speaker 2: would take to spread to the bones is going to
- 6:14Speaker 2: be shorter than with a less aggressive cancer, and he's
- 6:17Speaker 2: eighty two. Normally, doctors will stop screening for prostate cancer
- 6:21Speaker 2: at seventy five or so because after that the prostate
- 6:24Speaker 2: cancers you typically pick up are very slow growing, and
- 6:28Speaker 2: so the harms of all of the testing and treatment
- 6:31Speaker 2: for something that may not kill you. You know, you're
- 6:34Speaker 2: talking about risk pursus benefit. It may not be worth
- 6:37Speaker 2: the risk.
- 6:37Speaker 5: Isn't there a blood test that men can take to
- 6:39Speaker 5: know if they have an issue that might warrant further examination.
- 6:44Speaker 2: So there's something that we call a PSA test, but
- 6:46Speaker 2: that can also be indicative of many different things. It
- 6:48Speaker 2: could just be you have an enlarged prostate. Maybe you
- 6:51Speaker 2: have a low grade infection in the prostate. There are
- 6:54Speaker 2: many things that can cause that, and so this is
- 6:56Speaker 2: again why after a certain age doctors will typically stop
- 6:59Speaker 2: screw for prostate cancer. Wow, but in his case, it's
- 7:03Speaker 2: not screening. It's important to emphasize this was diagnostic because
- 7:07Speaker 2: he had urinary symptoms and so there was a reason
- 7:11Speaker 2: to do more testing.
- 7:12Speaker 4: One thing is for sure.
- 7:13Speaker 5: The questions around the honesty of Biden, his team, his
- 7:17Speaker 5: cabinet and the administration are all on full display. Is
- 7:21Speaker 5: now even the mainstream media is running away from him
- 7:24Speaker 5: and admitting that this team is basically filled with pathological liars,
- 7:29Speaker 5: And there's no reason to believe the story that they're
- 7:31Speaker 5: selling that this is something that maybe just happened. Instead,
- 7:34Speaker 5: there's real reasons to question when did they know it
- 7:37Speaker 5: and how long have they been concealing it from the
- 7:40Speaker 5: American people.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Now?
- 7:41Speaker 4: Story number two, there is.
- 7:42Speaker 5: One man that is fighting tooth and nail to keep
- 7:45Speaker 5: all Americans safe and getting rid of violent criminals that
- 7:48Speaker 5: are in this country illegally. His name is Tom Homan
- 7:52Speaker 5: and he's the Borders are And I was able to
- 7:54Speaker 5: sit down with him and ask him several questions about
- 7:57Speaker 5: exactly where we are and the fight to get rid
- 7:59Speaker 5: of so many people that broke in this country illegally.
- 8:02Speaker 4: And here is what he had to say.
- 8:04Speaker 5: You mentioned the budget a moment ago, and how important
- 8:07Speaker 5: it is to have the budget for you guys to
- 8:09Speaker 5: continue your job.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Explain for everyone listening.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Is that referencing that the big beautiful bill and what
- 8:15Speaker 5: is in there that you need so much to continue
- 8:18Speaker 5: to do your job at the border?
- 8:20Speaker 6: Well, we want to make the border secure permanently. So
- 8:23Speaker 6: we need more infrastructure, right, So we need to finish
- 8:25Speaker 6: building that wall. Now, let's be clear, every place they
- 8:28Speaker 6: build a border barrier, illegal migrations went down, illegal drug
- 8:31Speaker 6: flow went down, but most important, walls saved lives. Women
- 8:35Speaker 6: and children can't get over that wall, the most vulnerable,
- 8:37Speaker 6: so they go to a place, well, there's not a
- 8:39Speaker 6: wall on. What's waiting on them the men and women
- 8:41Speaker 6: of the border patrol first of all, So it's the
- 8:43Speaker 6: ball saves lives. So we need to finish the border barrier.
- 8:45Speaker 6: We need money to finish the technology within the existing
- 8:49Speaker 6: border wall, because not only did Present buy and stop
- 8:51Speaker 6: the construction of the wall, he stopped adding the technology
- 8:54Speaker 6: in that smart wall, technology that lets us know how
- 8:57Speaker 6: someone climbs that wall, touch this wall, dig under that wall.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Technology where borbitual agents in the middle of nowhere can
- 9:03Speaker 6: get on the radio and use the walls repeater to
- 9:05Speaker 6: talk to other agents for help. There are some places
- 9:08Speaker 6: on the Sounthern border where they lose all communications, so
- 9:11Speaker 6: all that technology needs to be done. More technology yet,
- 9:13Speaker 6: port of entries to make sure no ventano's coming through,
- 9:17Speaker 6: and as far as the interire enforcement. We need beds
- 9:20Speaker 6: right now, we got about fifty two thousand people in detention.
- 9:23Speaker 6: We're funder that thirty four thousand ICE is already in
- 9:26Speaker 6: the hole. We need about one hundred thousand beds because
- 9:29Speaker 6: everybody we arrest needs a bet. We just don't rest
- 9:32Speaker 6: somebody in New York City and put them on a
- 9:33Speaker 6: plane and lead. We got to detain them for several
- 9:35Speaker 6: days or several weeks to get travel doctors, get flight
- 9:38Speaker 6: flight arrangements, flight finances. So we need bets. So we
- 9:42Speaker 6: need you know, so this budget, that depending budget right now,
- 9:44Speaker 6: the Big Beautiful Bill will give us some money fill
- 9:46Speaker 6: with beds. They're going to give us thousands of more
- 9:48Speaker 6: borbitual license, thousands more ICE agents. It's going to give
- 9:51Speaker 6: ICE a budget to bring in more contracts up. What
- 9:55Speaker 6: I mean by that badgers and guns shouldn't be sitting
- 9:57Speaker 6: at a desk doing reports of processing. They shouldn't be
- 10:02Speaker 6: sitting at a desk doing travel documents and all the
- 10:05Speaker 6: administrative duties that occur within the ICE. You can have
- 10:09Speaker 6: a contract to sitting there doing that work. Give that
- 10:11Speaker 6: badging gun, get them out on the street to arrest.
- 10:14Speaker 6: The public safety thrusts and national security threats, so we
- 10:16Speaker 6: needed the money. Like I said, we're doing more than
- 10:19Speaker 6: Biden did, but Biden wasn't doing anything. We need to
- 10:21Speaker 6: do ten times more than buying it too, not three
- 10:23Speaker 6: times more. And I'll leave you with this. We got
- 10:26Speaker 6: seven hundred thousand illegal aliens in this country with a
- 10:29Speaker 6: criminal conviction walking the streets of this country. We got
- 10:31Speaker 6: to get them. We got to gain it quickly. We
- 10:33Speaker 6: got one point four man illegal aliens who do headdu
- 10:36Speaker 6: process that great taxpayer expense, were ordered removed by a
- 10:40Speaker 6: federal judge and didn't leave, and they become fusitives. We
- 10:43Speaker 6: got a lot of work to do, and we need
- 10:44Speaker 6: money to do more. We're doing good, but more money
- 10:47Speaker 6: we have, the more we can do.
- 10:49Speaker 5: Tom, you mentioned finding them all. Let's talk about sanctuary
- 10:53Speaker 5: cities for a second. It's very clear Democrats are not
- 10:56Speaker 5: backing off of that. How dangerous is the policy? And
- 11:00Speaker 5: and and who is being harbored in these cities that
- 11:03Speaker 5: are refusing to work with you guys? Will there be accountability?
- 11:07Speaker 5: Are they harboring h M S thirteen gang members and
- 11:11Speaker 5: domestic terrafts, foreign terrists? Uh, those that are putting the
- 11:14Speaker 5: fetnel out in society. How dangerous are these cities, Well, they're.
- 11:19Speaker 6: The dangerous, the dangerous for everybody because in the sanctuary
- 11:22Speaker 6: city means you don't have access to the jail rust
- 11:24Speaker 6: a bad guy, public safety threat in the safety and
- 11:27Speaker 6: security of the jail, where the alien safe, the officers safe,
- 11:30Speaker 6: on the public safe. When sanctuary cities knowingly released a
- 11:34Speaker 6: public safety UH threat back in the street, it certainly
- 11:37Speaker 6: puts the community at risk. He even puts the alien
- 11:39Speaker 6: at risk because anything can happen during the street arrest.
- 11:42Speaker 6: And great, it puts the officer that great arrest because
- 11:44Speaker 6: now we've got arrest a criminal alien, public safety threat
- 11:47Speaker 6: on his turf. We has access to who knows what weapons.
- 11:50Speaker 6: It's very dangerous. And yes, we'll host sanctuary cities accountable.
- 11:53Speaker 6: Its Pam Binding has already fought lawsuits against several uh.
- 11:56Speaker 6: We're we're we're working with dj now again. We want
- 12:00Speaker 6: we want where's that right, where's that where's that line?
- 12:03Speaker 6: When do you cross that line? You can sit there
- 12:06Speaker 6: and watch Ice do your job. Because here's what irritates
- 12:09Speaker 6: me the most. I don't care what party you're in.
- 12:12Speaker 6: If you're an elected mayor, elect a city council, person
- 12:16Speaker 6: or elected governor your number one responsibility. It's the safety
- 12:21Speaker 6: and security of your neighborhoods, your communities. ICE has been
- 12:24Speaker 6: cleared from the beginning with President Trump. We're going to
- 12:27Speaker 6: prioritize public safety threats and national security threats. Why will
- 12:31Speaker 6: you not help us make your community safer. There's no
- 12:35Speaker 6: downside on that. And the sanctuary city is one to
- 12:38Speaker 6: argue what we're a sanctuary city because we want victims
- 12:40Speaker 6: and witnesses of crime, if they're illegally the United States,
- 12:44Speaker 6: to feel comfortable coming to the law enforcement without fear
- 12:46Speaker 6: of working with ICE. That is a bunch of crap.
- 12:49Speaker 6: Victims and witnesses of crime don't want the bad guy
- 12:52Speaker 6: in the neighborhood either. And as far as the illegal
- 12:55Speaker 6: alien community, I'll say this, despite being here illegally, many
- 12:59Speaker 6: are god fearing family people. They don't want a preteror
- 13:03Speaker 6: in they neighborhood either. They don't want someone convicted DUI
- 13:06Speaker 6: ten times driving to their neighborhood either. So you know,
- 13:09Speaker 6: if you go to the immigrant community and ask them
- 13:11Speaker 6: one simple question, would you rather have ICE operating in
- 13:14Speaker 6: the jail or in your community? What do you think
- 13:16Speaker 6: they're going to say? They're going to say to jail,
- 13:18Speaker 6: so sanctuouses will be held accountable. Matter of fact, we're
- 13:21Speaker 6: reissuing the ICE detainer. We just changed the new ICE detainer.
- 13:24Speaker 6: We're letting them black and white. Let them know this
- 13:26Speaker 6: person is a designated terrorist, this person is a designated
- 13:29Speaker 6: return felon. We're gonna let them know exactly who they
- 13:32Speaker 6: were detaining based on biographic and biometric information and see
- 13:36Speaker 6: what they do. Are they going to violate relation Riley Act,
- 13:40Speaker 6: Then we'll go out to prosecution. Now they're going to
- 13:42Speaker 6: know me at least a terrorist, Then we're going to
- 13:44Speaker 6: go out to prosecution. So it's about to get a
- 13:46Speaker 6: lot tougher, and it's the right thing to do.
- 13:48Speaker 5: I want to go back to accountability for a second time,
- 13:50Speaker 5: and I want to ask you there are a lot
- 13:52Speaker 5: of people that believe that there were laws that were
- 13:55Speaker 5: broken deliberately in the last administration. They knew they were
- 13:58Speaker 5: breaking the law. One of the those would be former
- 14:00Speaker 5: Homeland Security Secretary. My orc is that you mentioned a
- 14:04Speaker 5: moment ago. Should he be criminally prosecuted for his role
- 14:08Speaker 5: in the border crisis if it was as deliberate as
- 14:10Speaker 5: it now seems.
- 14:12Speaker 6: Look, I think what he did was borderline trees in US.
- 14:15Speaker 6: I'm not an attorney, I'm not a prosecutor, but what
- 14:18Speaker 6: he did, he did more damage to this country. Him
- 14:20Speaker 6: and the Biden administration. What they did to this country,
- 14:23Speaker 6: I can tell you when they opened that border up,
- 14:27Speaker 6: sex trafficking women should to increase tenfold. A record number
- 14:32Speaker 6: of migrants died making that journey, over four thousand, A
- 14:35Speaker 6: record number of Americans died from fatanah that come across
- 14:38Speaker 6: that open border. And it's just what he calls this
- 14:42Speaker 6: country and from a national securities perspective, because here's what
- 14:46Speaker 6: his orders were, process quick, release quick. They didn't care
- 14:51Speaker 6: about the crisis. They cared about the optics of the crisis.
- 14:54Speaker 6: If there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here. So
- 14:57Speaker 6: border trades were processed as quick as they could and
- 15:00Speaker 6: releases as quicker as they could. And there's been several
- 15:03Speaker 6: instances where they released so quickly the FBI scan didn't
- 15:07Speaker 6: come back and and it came back hot. Actually they
- 15:09Speaker 6: already been released. They came back hot as a non
- 15:12Speaker 6: inspected terrorist. So yeah, he what he did was unconsortable.
- 15:16Speaker 6: What he did is in my opinion, borderline trees, and
- 15:20Speaker 6: is he should be held accountable because a lot of
- 15:23Speaker 6: deaths occurred under his watch? And look at like like
- 15:26Speaker 6: Sandra Cruz said a few minutes ago, right now, ninety
- 15:28Speaker 6: six percent decline and illegal immigration when ninety six percent
- 15:32Speaker 6: less people are coming. How many women aren't being raped?
- 15:35Speaker 6: How many children aren't dying crossing that border. How many
- 15:38Speaker 6: no inspected terists aren't getting in the country. How many
- 15:40Speaker 6: pounds of fatanyl is not getting the country? What are
- 15:42Speaker 6: you going to see in the President Trump's administration? Vatanyl deaths,
- 15:45Speaker 6: a decrease, sex trafficking with decrease, smuggling with decrease, and
- 15:49Speaker 6: no inspected terrorsts. They got no open night anymore. Now
- 15:53Speaker 6: that we've got the border secure, every single borders religion
- 15:56Speaker 6: is on the lying on patrol. During his National security
- 15:59Speaker 6: duty under Joe Biden, it was an average most days,
- 16:02Speaker 6: an average seventy percent seven zero seventy percent of agents
- 16:07Speaker 6: were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making
- 16:10Speaker 6: baby formula, making hospital runs. The last time I went
- 16:13Speaker 6: down there before the election, I talked to hundreds of
- 16:15Speaker 6: boarder plays and told me to hang on, hang on,
- 16:17Speaker 6: changes coming. I really think pus Trump's going to win,
- 16:20Speaker 6: but they told me, no, we're sick of being tour station.
- 16:22Speaker 6: We're sick of being uber drivers. We processed and delivered
- 16:26Speaker 6: these people, that is the very same people who pay
- 16:29Speaker 6: for their smuggling. They couldn't recruit. They couldn't people were quitting.
- 16:33Speaker 6: They were quit before it even else well for retirement.
- 16:36Speaker 6: They couldn't read recruiting numbers. You know, last month Ice
- 16:39Speaker 6: I'm excusing Borbitrow had the highest recruiting numbers and the
- 16:43Speaker 6: history of that agency just last month.
- 16:46Speaker 5: I gotta say, there's so many Americans that are so
- 16:49Speaker 5: thankful that Donald Trump picked Tom Homan to lead in
- 16:52Speaker 5: this role.
- 16:53Speaker 4: And it's also very clear that he's not stopping.
- 16:56Speaker 5: He is going to continue to fight for Americans and
- 16:58Speaker 5: make sure that these vibe criminals and those that are
- 17:01Speaker 5: human trafficking, sex trafficking, bringing in FETNOH at record numbers,
- 17:05Speaker 5: and killing American citizens are out of this country for good.
- 17:10Speaker 4: He also is fighting hard to secure our southern border.
- 17:13Speaker 5: And continued to build the Wall, a promise that Donald
- 17:16Speaker 5: Trump said, We'll be done while he's in office during
- 17:19Speaker 5: the next four years.
