  Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, Senator,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I got to say, there's some polling numbers that have
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: come out that are shocking to even me and many
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: other conservatives of just how big of a victory the
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: issues have become for Donald Trump with the country.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. But let me stop by saying,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: you know, Friday's podcast, for the first time ever, we
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: had to cancel the podcast because you were sick, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: so we did a rerun of our Christmas Day podcast
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: of my favorite movies because you were in bed, curled up,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: hacking up along. So so let me ask you a
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: couple of days later, how you feeling.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I survived.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I've not been I think I texted you, I have
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: not been that sick in twenty five years. It was
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: four days in a row of one hundred and three
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: fever from the flu. So this year's flu is no joke.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: If you get it. God be with you, because I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: rarely miss a show and power through and there was
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: no way I could do the show. So thanks you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: guys for bearing with me on Friday.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I hope you enjoyed the movie recommendations but I
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: felt bad. I was ready to go, but Ben was
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: was miserable and unconscious. So I'm glad to have you back.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, and and you know, and you're still hurting
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: a little bit, but but I'm glad if we have
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: a moment in the pause pod where things pause, it
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: will be because he's still coughing up along. But very accurate.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: And it's moments like this. I'm glad that some of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: these episodes we do remotely because no offense. But I
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: don't really want your coughee on me right now.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That's that's also very accurate. Various student medical advice.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: There, I like it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: There you go that that would be all my years
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: in medicare all right, So let's talk about the substance,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: because we had a lot to talk about. Number one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: As you pointed out, we are seeing a sea change
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: in this country. We're one month into the Trump presidency,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and I got to say, the polling numbers, the American
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: people are embracing it a common sense conservative agenda, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the media, the corporate media, they don't know what to
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: do with it, and the Democrats they don't know what
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: to do with it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Part of it is because we're seeing real results. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: one of the things that we're going to talk about
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: today are the incredible results we're seeing on the border. Look,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I said last year, over and over again, we're going
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to secure the border. And it's not going to take
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: a year, it's not going to take six months. It
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: is going to happen on January twentieth. Well, i'll tell
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: you what the numbers have back that up. We have
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: seen the illegal immigration plummet. We're going to break that
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: down for you and give you the facts and figures
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: on that. And then finally, Doze Doze every day continues
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to be breathtaking, uncovering more and more government waste. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to watch the Democrats run around like chickens with their
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: heads cut off defending all this nonsense is is really astonishing.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I got to say. The President asked a while ago,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: he said, we're going to win so much, you're gonna
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: get tired of winning. I got to tell you, Ben
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: right now, I'm not tired of winning.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And the majority of Americans in this new poll that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we're mentioning, yeah, they're not tired of winning yet.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Either.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: over at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. After
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: more than a year of war, tear and pain in Israel,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: there is still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: continues to support those in the Holy Land still facing
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the lingering horrors of war, and those who are in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: desperate need right now. Your gift today will provide critically
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: needed aid to communities in the North and the South
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that have been devastated by the ongoing war, and your
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: generous donation will deliver to help those not only that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: are in need, but also the evacuees and refugees from
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the war torn areas, first responders and volunteers, wounded soldiers,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and even elderly Holocaust survivors. They need our help because
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: many of them have lost everything. You can give hope
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: during a time of great uncertainty. So to give a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: gift to bless Israel and her people, you can do
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it by visiting support IFCJ dot org. That's one word support,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: IFCJ dot org. You can even call them eight eight
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: eight for eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: eight eight, IFCJ triple eight four eight eight four, three,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: two five, and you can help the people in Israel today. So, Senator,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: there's certain points where the President has been pushing different
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: agenda items and the media takes the opportunity to really
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: come down on him and basically do what they've done
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: for years, which is, well, you Americans don't want to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: be a part of this. And now the poll numbers
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: are showing that the media is having virtually no influence
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on the public, and the public is backing Trump now
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: more than ever.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Well, it turns out common sense is a lot more
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: common than the media was telling us. And I want
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you to listen to this clip on ABC with John
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Nathan Carl and he's interviewing at Keem Jeffries, and you
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: need to picture this is Kim Jeffries, the leader of
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the Democrats in the House. Jonathan carl is going to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: ask him about the polling numbers, talking about how the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: American people are supporting the Trump agenda, the common sense
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: conservative agenda in big numbers, and at the end of it,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Jeffries has no answer whatsoever. So listen, this is not me,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: this is not you, This is ABC News talking about
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: where the American people are right now.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's favorability rating is actually higher than it ever
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: was the first time round.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: A recent poll by Marquette looked at several of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: things that he has done or says that he is
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: going to do, and sixty three percent favor federal government's
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: recognition of only two sexes. Sixty percent favored deporting immigrants
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: who entered the United States illegally, sixty percent favor expanding
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: oil and gas production, fifty nine percent favored declaring an
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: emergency at the southern border. Is there anything you are
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: seeing that the Trump is doing that you are in
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: favor of, that you think is the right thing?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Let me say, as it relates to all of those issues,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: we're just at the beginning.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: We're just at the beginning. So that's my answer. And
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Carl's face was actually hilarious there because.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: You no, no, keen. Jeffrey's face was funnier. Yeah, because
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: because when Carl asks him, Jeffreys is shocked and astonished.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He goes through the American people sixty plus percenter agreeing
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: with Trump on X, Y Z all these issues. Is
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: there anything he's doing that's right now? If you're the
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: leader of the Democrats in the House, What the hell
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: do you say about that? Like, he had no response
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: other the well, it's just the beginning. I'm hoping something
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: will go bad and then we'll cheer that. Like it
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: is sixty three percent favor of the government recognizing only
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: two sexes. Those are not close numbers. Sixty three percent
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: is a super majority any way you look at it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Sixty percent favor deporting illegal illegal aliens, sixty percent favor
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: expanding oil and gas production, fifty nine percent favor declaring
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: an emergency on the southern border. Those are compelling numbers.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And it's an example of look my way, Can we.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Talk poll numbers just for a second so people understand
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in politics, Like when I was at the Bush administration,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: we were on the campaign. If you had a poll
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: on something we wanted that was above fifty three percent,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that was like a home run. If you were at
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: fifty five percent or above, it was like a mandate.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I have not seen sixty percent polls like these in decades,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: have you?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: On these types of issues?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And to see ABC reporting on it, and you're right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Jonathan carl is very dismayed to be reporting on it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: He's shaking his head but a king Jefferies looks like
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: he's filming a hostage video. He's just terrified. Why are
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: you asking me this? Because he doesn't want to say no,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with Trump on anything, because when you're
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: on the wrong side of a bunch of sixty forty issues,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: that's a recipe to lose elections. But he doesn't want
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to say yes, I agree with Trump on anything because
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: his base hates Trump so much they'll lose their mind
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and go nuts. So all he can say is, well,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: it's just the beginning. I hope things will go wrong
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and then we can celebrate the things are going wrong.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: It is astounding astonishing. I should say that this is
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: now where we are. But this turns into what I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: call a mandate, a supermandate, and it just means keep
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: going Trump, keep going, Republicans. What does this do to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: some of your colleagues who maybe didn't want to go
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: along with some of these types of things when they
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: see these poll numbers. Is it's going to make it
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: easier to get things done in Congress as well? I
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: would hope so.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Well, it certainly should. And by the way, I'll tell you, historically,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: for the last four years, every Democrat voted on the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: wrong side of these issues. On the question of are
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: there two sexes male and female? Every single Democrat the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Senate voted over and over and over again. On the
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: question of deporting illegals. Every Democrat and the Senate voted
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: no over and over and over again. On the question
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: of more oil and gas exploration, Virtually every Democrat, actually
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Joe Manchin would vote yes occasionally, Joe Manchin isn't there anymore.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: So every Democrat that remains in the Senate has voted
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: no over and over and over again. On the question
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: of declaring an emergency on the southern border, again, every
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Democrat voted no. And so the Democrat Party, listen, they're
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: in a crisis. If you're on the wrong side of
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: sixty forty issues across the board. Well, that's how you
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: get the kind of election we had November. That's how
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you get a president elected with more than three hundred
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: electoral votes. That's how you get a president who of
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the seven swing states wins all seven. That's how you
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: get a Republican Senate and a Republican House. Because the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Democrats on the issues, they're not listening to the American people.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: They're listening to the crazy fringe, and I don't see
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: a whole lot of indication that they're you know, it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: a fascinating question, is are there Democrats in the party
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: who say, gosh, we've gotten so far out of the mainstream,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: we're really we're really listening to to just a fringe.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Let's get back to the middle. They're one or two
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: people saying that. But I got to say, all right,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I want you to listen to James Carville. James Carvill
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is a Democrat through and through. Listen to what James
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Carville had to say about his party just just completely
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: getting so extreme that they leave the American people behind.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: He's really upset about it. Here are the words Carville
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: is quoted online is saying, we don't have the audio,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: but we have the words. And look, I'll give a warning.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Carville's language as always colorful. That it is here, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: here here's how he's quoted quote, I dedicated the best
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: years of my f and life to this party, only
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: to see it taken over by a bunch of stupid mfers.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Everything's gone to s. By the way, he did not
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: abbreviate any of those and if you look at the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: tweet that is particularly circulating online. It says Carvill is
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: especially livid following the DNC leadership election, reportedly saying quote,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: who are these people? This David hog guy and that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: other sissy referring to Malcolm Knyata come out of the
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: gd left field? Well there goes the mail vote forever.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Thanks guys, We're ft and we deserve it. That's James
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Carville's assessment of where the Democrat Party is right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Now, based on the poll numbers that we're seeing. He's
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: not far off, by the way from reality. I mean,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: if he's an honest broker, I've known James for years.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: You have as well, Like he's this is the assessment.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's spot on with where the Democratic Party is.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And they still don't seem to understand where that this
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: is how far they are away from the American people.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: That's a blessing disguise for us.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that they are not listening to reality. But look,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: let's look at the facts. Let's take the facts.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Here's the headline from the New York Post just a
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: couple of days ago, quote Illegal border crossings hit record
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: low after Trump's swift crackdown and could be on track
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: for levels not seen in sixty years. Wow, the numbers
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: are stunning. So far in February, about three hundred and
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: fifty nine illegal migrants per day have been caught across
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the entire southern border, down more than ninety percent nine
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: zero from February twenty twenty four. According to leaked Customs
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and Border Protection data, that puts the US on track
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: twenty five years. If the trend continues, the number of
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: illegal migrants coming into the US could hit a level
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: not seen since nineteen sixty eight, nearly sixty years ago.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Here's a quote from Mark Korrian, who runs the Center
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: for Imigration Studies. It's the lowest the US has seen,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: quote in almost a lifetime.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Quote.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: If you kind of break down the numbers, divide them
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: by three sixty five, we hadn't had numbers this low
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: since the nineteen sixties, So we're talking sixty year lows
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: if it's substained. Obviously, the CPP data shows that just
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: three nine hundred and fifty three illegal migrants have been
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: caught this month through February eleventh. If that trend continues
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: through the month, that would put the February boarding crossings
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: at roughly ten thousand, which is a number that hasn't
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: been seen since CPBB began tracking month to month data
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety nine. Ten thousand. Under Biden, we were
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: getting ten thousand a day. We're on track for that
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to be the total monthly traffic. And that's just in
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the very first month.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It's a momentum thing, now right.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to feel that, I'm sure on
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, which is we've just gotten started. The American
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: people behind us, and we're recruiting a bigger audience that's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: cheering this on each and every day.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Well, look, this election, President Trump and Republicans in the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Senate and the House promise the American people real results.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And you look at what was promised. Number one, we
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: promised we are going to secure the border. And remember
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: repeatedly Joe Biden said, first of all, he said the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Border of Security, said it over and over and over again.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: People knew that was a lie. And then he said,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: well it's impossible to fix it. Look, I want you
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it's up to Congress. I want you to listen to
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: this clip from the National Border Patrol Council Vice President
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: talking about Biden lying to the American people on this topic.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Give a listen.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting because down on the southern border,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: there has also been a dramatic reduction in the number
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: of people who are coming across the border.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I want to put up call for number four here.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: This is a senior DHS official talking about that Chris
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: delivering consequences has results. Illegal crossings are down, god aways
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: are down, criminal prosecutions are on the rise. Daily reports
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: of large groups in Mexico Guatemala turning back south and
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: surrendering to authorities were questioned to go home, and we
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: have only just begun policy matters. President Biden told us repeatedly,
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Chris that he had basically done all he could and
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: that it was up to Congress to do more. What's
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: happened in the last two and a half weeks would
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: seem to suggest that Biden was just gaslighting everybody.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's unfortunate. I think, yeah, I don't know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know who he thought he was fulling. I mean,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Donto wasn't us. We knew what was going on the
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: whole time. And you're right. The apprehension numbers have slowann
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: to a crawl. Last night, I was actually working the
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: river and you have the Mexican military patrolling their northern borders,
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: so that slows down a lot of traffic coming our way.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: So things have changed a great deal. And this president
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: has proven that he's a man of his word and
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: can get it done. He actually gave President Biden then
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: in Biden the roadmap.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: To do it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: He just failed to failed to do it there. It
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: is failed to do it right. That's what it boils
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: down to.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Well, and it was deliberate, it was a decision. And listen,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Biden knew he was lying to the American people. Kamala
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Harris knew she was lying to the American people. Kareem
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: John Pierre knew she was lying to the American people.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer knew he was lying to the American people.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Every Democrat in the Senate, in the House, they knew
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: they were lying to the American people. And it's because
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: they elevated politics above their basic job of representing their
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: constituents and protecting them. And listen, reasonable people can disagree,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: say on the right level of legal immigration. Some people
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: might say we should allow more legal immigration. Other people
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: might say we should allow less. That's a discussion reasonable
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and rational people can have. Let me ask you something seriously, Ben,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Imagine for a second you're a Democrat strategist. So imagine
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: you're a transgender witch and you are a complete lunatic
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and you have no reason even so you presumably want
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: your team to win. I mean, one would think that
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: would be sort of the basics if you're running a campaign. Sure,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: explain to me how a political party gets so far
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: away from common sense in the American people that they decide,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: let's release multiple child rapists that raping kids. You know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: apparently our constituents want child rapists in our community. And
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: if you think, okay, come on, Ted, that's a little extreme.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: The Democrats are not doing this. I want you to
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: listen about Bill Malujin. Bill Malugin is the best immigration
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: reporter in the countries with Fox News. I want you
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: to listen to this clip because this is exactly what
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: the Democrat Party has been doing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: Given listen, well, Dana, it's hard to believe there are
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: any jurisdictions out there that wouldn't cooperate with Ice when
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: it comes to illegal aliens charged with forcibly raping children.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: But in Massachusetts it's routine. Take a look at this case.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: ICE Boston just announcing they arrested this Guatemalan illegal alien
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: charged in Massachusetts with three counts of aggravated child rape
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: and three counts of forcible rape of a child. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: the question is why was he on the streets right well,
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: I says their detainer request on him was ignored by
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: the Essex County Superior Court due to sanctuary policy.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: The locals released.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Him into the community on bail without any notice to ICE.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: In a statement, the director of ICE Boston says, in
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: part quote, Jose Fernando Perez has been charged with some
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: horrific crimes against the minor in our commonwealth. He is
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: exactly the type of alien we are targeting with our
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: worst first policy. He posts a significant danger to the
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: children of Massachusetts and we will not tolerate such a
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: threat to our community. ICE Boston also announcing the arrest
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: of this Turkish illegal alien charged in Massachusetts with a
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: sultan battery against an intellectually disabled person and witness intimidation.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: But I says their detainer on him was also ignored
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: by the sanctuary city of Somerville. He had also been
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: released into the public elsewhere around the US. I Seattle
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: arrested this Salvadoran illegal alien wanted in his home country
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: for aggravated homicide. Here in Los Angeles, ICE arrested this
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Guatemalan illegal alien charged with sexual assault and rape with
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: a gun. And in Colorado, the DEA announced their top
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: ten arrests of illegal immigrants in recent days, including several
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: affiliated with Trendya Arragua and others with egregious crimes like kidnapping,
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: child sexual assault, and fentanyl trafficking and Dana. I was
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: talking to a law enforcement source in Massachusetts about the
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: child rape case that I reference, and I asked, like,
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: there's got to be some sort of a catch here, right,
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: forget about cooperating with ICE. How does somebody charge with
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: so many counts of aggravated forcible child rape even get
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: released on bail in the first place. The response I
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: got was, quote, welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Well
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: send it back to you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Well, they're finally on their way out, thanks Bill.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Welcome the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. That's how much they hate
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. They don't care about these rapists. Running around
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: among us.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: It really is shocking. And understand what is being reported there,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: which is that in Massachusetts, but also you're singing in Seattle.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Also you're seeing in Colorado and across the country you
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: have Democrats who have people who are violent child rapists,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: who are violently, horribly raping little children. And number one,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: these Democrats are releasing these child rapists. Now, these child
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: rapists are illegal immigrants. They could be deported, but their
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: politics of we want as many illegal immigrants as possible
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: is more important than any sort of common sense of
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: let's stop, let's stop horrible crimes against vulnerable kids. You know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: there's a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche in Beyond Good and
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Evil which I think is really on point here, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: it is quote, there is a point in the history
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: among other things, it sides even with those who harm it, criminals,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And it does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: seems unfair to it. And it is certain that imagining
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: punishment and being supposed to punish hurts it, arouses fear
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: in it. Is it not enough to render him undangerous?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Why still punish Punishing itself is terrible with this question
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: heard morality, the morality of timidity draws its ultimate consequence.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: You say that, and you look at where we are.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I still feel like we're in a position as Democrats
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: refuse to move that More and more Americans, regardless of
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: that they consider themselves an independent or a Democrat or Republican,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: are just looking at this issue as a national security issue,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a local community safety issue, and that that's why this
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the support for it is so high we talked about
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: in those poll numbers.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I think that's right. Look, any you know a lot
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: of people, most many normal people are not terribly political.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: They're they're focused on their family and their lives. But
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: if you ask anyone who's not a moron or a radical,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: do you want child rapists released in your community? The
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: answers no. If you ask most normal people, should we
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: secure the border, they'll say yes. If you ask most
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: normal people how many sexes are there, they're going to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: say too. Now, we've lived in a world where people
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: were afraid to say they were two sexes because the
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Left they're so hectoring, they're they're they're they're so just
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: a few years ago, they would silence you, they would
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: cancel you. That that people were afraid to say up
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: was up and down was down. And and I do
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: think we're seeing the pay angelum swing back because people
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: are tired of the crazy. They want less crazy.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Doges for a second, given update there,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: because they're they're they're finding the crazy each and every day.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: They are continuing to find wasteful spending at numbers that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I couldn't have imagined. I think a lot of people
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: still can't believe how bad it is. A great example
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of that is they discovered one point nine billion, not million,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: one point nine billion in HUD money that was quote
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: misplaced by the Biden administration this last week.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that they just simply lost it. And and and
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: so Elon Musk and and also Scott Turner, the new
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: new secretary of HUD. They're going to go try to
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: try to get that back. You look at the EPA.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: The EPA says he's going to seek the return of
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: twenty billion dollars in clean energy grants awarded by Biden.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: And I got to say, you know, we played on
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: last week's pod reporters saying, well, gosh, we want evidence,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: show us the evidence. Well, here are a few examples
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: of what DOZE is already discovered. Thirty six, one hundred
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: and twenty six dollars from USCIS for quote Diversity, Equity
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: and Inclusion and accessibility training for leadership and supervisors who
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: manage teams. Two point eight six million dollars for quote
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: a public relations firm contract for the Council for Inclusive
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Innovation at the Patent Office, which is to make sure
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: women and minorities were no longer quote underrepresented as inventors
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: and patentees. That's two point eight six million, thirty five thousand,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: three hundred and thirty eight dollars and fifty eight cents
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: for quote Sri Lankan Climate Change Mitigation, Adaptation and Resilience
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Coordinator services. You know who paid that, The US Forest Service.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: What the hell is the US Forest Service doing funding
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: climate grants in Sri Lanka?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: The question everybody's asking, and you look at DOGE and
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: how this continues to expand they're now saying they don't
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna be able to find all the waste.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: It could take a year or a year and a
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: half just to get through the waste.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Is that a number that shocks you.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: No.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Look, I mean there's massive waste. And I got to
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: say it is striking to see Democrats in Congress they're
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: defending all of it. I have not seen a single
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Democrat senator say, of any of this stuff, Okay, that's
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: too much. I'm glad we're getting rid of it now.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I will say it is fairly striking. Give a listen
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: to the guys at Pod Save America, which are you know,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: the leftist bros Admitting that that dose is doing some
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: real good and feeling some chagrin. Give a listen to this.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: And also, as much as I want to throw all
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: of Trump's campaign promises in his face, like the price
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: of eggs is not down, You've not ended the war
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: in Ukraine, et cetera, et cetera, he said he do
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: in twenty four hours. I think most voters get that
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: it was a shtick and they're going to give him
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: some time to actually get things done.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: Trump is like he is moving so fast. They are
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: doing a lot. It's not just the perception of it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: They hit the ground running in a serious way. It's
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: like genuinely impressive, impressive in a dark and sinister way.
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: But it's nonetheless impressive. And if you're turning on the
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: news every day and hearing about all these different things
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: Trump is doing and all the different criticisms coming out
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: of it, you may not like all of it. But
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: like in comparison how to how people felt about Joe
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: Biden being basically absent. I imagine for a lot of
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: people it's a welcome change.
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: The energy, and he's signing things and he's affected all that.
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: I think that is playing extraordinarily well.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: I don't want to seem like you're opposed to government efficiency,
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: but obviously now they're just rampaging through like the government
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: Venmo and shutting off.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're wrong.
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: I'm just lamenting our situation.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Me too, No, I love it.
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: I felt the same way because I've seen the messaging
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: memos and it's like, you know, the young young people
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: gen Z they like Doge and what Elon's doing because
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: you know, they don't see they see government as sclerog
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: and inefficient, and they like the move fast and break
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: things ethos and they want to get stuff done and
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: they like the resultants Like yeah, we yes, of course
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: we all want that. We all know that government is slow.
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: We all know the government can be inefficient. We all
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: know that the bureaucracy can be bloated. We all worked
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: in the flight house. We tried to reorganize the government.
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: We tried to find efficiency. It's hard to do, and honestly,
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: some of.
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: This is pretty annoying because it's some of the stuff
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: we should have done, right.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, no, you could do some of this.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: You just got to talk sheen z to them. You're like,
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: I could dig these doja cats.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was horrible.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, I can't say that they're wrong. I
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: think they're They're at the point where they're like, we
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: got to tell the truth.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Been.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: The astonishing thing is pod Save America makes more sense
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: than any Democrat in the US Congress. I have not
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: heard a single Democrat saying that that, gosh, this spending
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: is agreed to. No, I will will say, you notice
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: they sort of reflexively tossed out egg prices. Yeah, let
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: me give you a couple of stats that will blow
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: you away. In the twenty five days since Trump's inauguration,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: how many times do you think CNN has mentioned egg prices?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's got to be I mean dozens and dozens
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: forty five? Wow? All right.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: The twenty five days before the inauguration, how many times
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: do you think CNN mentioned egg prices.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And five or less? Zero? Wow?
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: Zero?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: How about MSNBC, surely they're more ballanced. In the twenty
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: five days since Trump's inauguration, how many times do they
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: mention mentioned egg prices?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Thirty? Eighty? Wow? All right?
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: How about the twenty five days before inauguration? How many
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: times they mentioned it?
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Zero?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna go zero?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: One one? I'll give the credits. It's eighty to one,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: and it's just listen. Suddenly they discovered, by the way,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: eggs were expensive before Trump was sworn in, and you know,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: we did have avian flu and they like slaughtered a
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of chickens. So that is a problem because
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: you know, I am not an e end biologist, but
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you need chickens to get eggs. So
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: it is fascinating to see we're securing the border, we're
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: cutting down massive government waste, we're getting wins, wins, wins,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: and the one thing the media has discovered is to
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: start screaming eggs are expensive. Eggs are expensive. As if
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: they apparently had never noticed it until Donald Trump took
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: the oath of office.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the American people are paying a lot
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: closer attention to all of this. That's why it's not
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: working on them. And I also think the American people
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: just don't trust the media anymore. It's going to be
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: interesting to see how long that lasts, because if it
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: keeps going the way it is right now, Democrats and
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the media are in serious trouble. Don't forget We do
