Transcript

00:00:02.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:00:03.000 You're watching America First.
00:00:05.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:00:06.000 We have a great show for you tonight.
00:00:08.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Friday.
00:00:12.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.
00:00:16.000 Big featured story tonight is about immigration.
00:00:20.000 And honestly, it looks like what these governors are doing is actually working.
00:00:28.000 Hate to say it.
00:00:29.000 And I have to eat a little humble pie tonight because I wasn't a fan, as you know, initially.
00:00:36.000 But our featured story tonight is about...did I say the whole intro?
00:00:40.000 We've got a great show for you tonight.
00:00:41.000 It is Friday.
00:00:43.000 I don't think I said it's Friday, but it's Friday.
00:00:46.000 And anyway, so our featured story, we're talking about immigration and the New York City government has just declared a state of emergency because the whole city is just surging with migrants that have been sent there by Texas, Arizona, I think one other state, I don't know if it's Florida.
00:01:08.000 But they're sending all their migrants up to New York and now it's actually causing a state of emergency.
00:01:12.000 17,000 migrants have been shipped up there and they just can't take care of them all.
00:01:18.000 So you know what?
00:01:19.000 Maybe it's working.
00:01:21.000 We'll talk about that.
00:01:21.000 We'll also be talking tonight about Joe Biden and his pardon of non-violent weed possessors.
00:01:29.000 Did you see this?
00:01:31.000 We've been hearing about this for years.
00:01:34.000 All these stoners and potheads and people in favor of drug legalization.
00:01:40.000 They've all said that it's just so wrong that we have anybody in jail for the crime of peacefully possessing marijuana.
00:01:49.000 As opposed to dealing drugs or gang related activity.
00:01:53.000 How could anybody be put in jail just for possession?
00:01:57.000 And so in response to this and with the midterms coming up, Joe Biden has issued an executive pardon to all those people in federal custody because of possession of marijuana.
00:02:09.000 And it's actually only going to affect 6,500 people.
00:02:15.000 Because as it turns out, there just aren't that many people in jail for this.
00:02:20.000 Despite what everybody says about nobody should be in jail because of X, Y, and Z,
00:02:26.000 The percentage of people that are in jail at the state level, at the federal level, because of possession, because of non-violent drug offenses, is extremely low.
00:02:38.000 It's a low percentage of drug offenses, and drug offenses are a fraction of all the offenses.
00:02:45.000 So it doesn't even make up most or even a significant amount of the people in jail for drug-related crimes.
00:02:52.000 When they talk about people are in jail for not for being peaceful.
00:02:56.000 That's basically fake.
00:02:58.000 And so he issues his pardon and you get 6,500 people that will receive relief for that.
00:03:05.000 So we'll be talking about that too.
00:03:07.000 Should be a pretty good show.
00:03:08.000 It's Casual Friday and I thought in honor of, yay, going to war for us, I wore my Yeezy Gap Valenciaga coat and
00:03:19.000 My one seam Yeezy Gap Balenciaga shirt.
00:03:24.000 That says Gap right there, in case you can't see it.
00:03:29.000 So I got my Yeezy Gap drip in honor of Kanye, showing that I'm a real fan, okay?
00:03:35.000 Honestly, I'm bitter and I'm sick of all these con ink shills bandwagoning onto Kanye.
00:03:43.000 I liked Kanye first.
00:03:46.000 I've liked Kanye since I got into this, and I took a lot of crap for it.
00:03:49.000 Everybody said, oh, he's a degenerate, oh, he's liberal, all this.
00:03:55.000 And I said, you just don't get it.
00:03:57.000 Totally based.
00:03:58.000 Totally red-pilled.
00:04:01.000 And today, he named them!
00:04:02.000 I don't know if you saw, but the big development on that, he did another... There was another segment of his interview with Tucker Carlson that aired tonight.
00:04:11.000 And then on Instagram, he said to P. Diddy,
00:04:16.000 He said, I'm gonna show the Jews that told you to talk to me that they can't intimidate me.
00:04:24.000 He said that!
00:04:25.000 He said, I'm doing this to show those Jews that told you to talk to me, those Jewish people, that they can't intimidate me.
00:04:36.000 Or threatened me.
00:04:37.000 So awesome.
00:04:39.000 Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it did!
00:04:41.000 And then the ADL came out in full force, and I ratioed them.
00:04:45.000 Ratioed them on Twitter.
00:04:47.000 I made an account today.
00:04:48.000 It's only been around for like, I don't know, 12 hours, and I ratioed the ADL.
00:04:53.000 I ratioed Raheem Kassam.
00:04:55.000 Uh, that actually wasn't, you know, in light of actually what that account was saying, actually that wasn't me.
00:05:00.000 That was, uh, my friend.
00:05:02.000 But, uh, but my friend, he went off on Twitter today saying that Rahim Kassam is a Jew lover.
00:05:08.000 I would never say it that way.
00:05:09.000 I think that's so, uh, offensive.
00:05:12.000 But, you know, this guy was going off on Twitter, ratioed Rahim Kassam, this handsome groper who's totally hot and awesome.
00:05:19.000 And, anyway.
00:05:21.000 So it's been a pretty good day.
00:05:22.000 Pretty big, white-pilling day.
00:05:25.000 We got the Yeezy coat, let's go!
00:05:28.000 And he's naming them, and he's on the Tucker interview, and he's naming the Atheist, and Kushner, and all of it.
00:05:34.000 Look at how big I look with this coat on.
00:05:36.000 I look huge.
00:05:37.000 Look at how much of the frame I take up.
00:05:39.000 Normally I take up this much of the frame, but now I'm taking up this much of the frame.
00:05:45.000 Look at how much of the frame.
00:05:50.000 So anyway, so there's that.
00:05:53.000 Before we get into the news, I have a huge announcement which I was supposed to announce last night, but I didn't get to it because we had our Sneako interview.
00:06:04.000 Yesterday, the official He Will Not Divide Us documentary premiered.
00:06:10.000 And this is something that I worked on with the filmmaker a year ago, or I was in it.
00:06:15.000 I didn't work on it with him, but I'm starring in it.
00:06:19.000 And I kind of forgot about it because it was a long time ago that that we did production on it.
00:06:24.000 And he reached out to me recently and said, hey, we're getting ready to drop this.
00:06:27.000 I totally forgot.
00:06:29.000 So it just came out yesterday.
00:06:31.000 The link is in my bio here.
00:06:33.000 So if you scroll down and buy it from this link, because if you buy it from this link, I get money from it.
00:06:39.000 Make sure to use this link.
00:06:41.000 Do not use the other links.
00:06:43.000 Do not use the link that Elijah Schaefer posted.
00:06:46.000 Do not use the link that other people are posting.
00:06:48.000 Use this link.
00:06:49.000 Use this link if you intend to buy it that's in my bio, because then I get a little cut of the profit.
00:06:56.000 And it's pretty cool.
00:06:57.000 It's me.
00:06:58.000 Sam Hyde is in it.
00:06:59.000 Brittany Venti, who we don't like.
00:07:01.000 She's a disgusting pig, but she's in it.
00:07:04.000 And who else is in it?
00:07:06.000 Some other people are in there.
00:07:08.000 But it's really good.
00:07:09.000 Really well produced.
00:07:10.000 I'm in it for a pretty good amount of time.
00:07:13.000 And it tells a story about how I went down there when Sam Hyde was going down to He Will Not Divide Us.
00:07:19.000 There's some never-before-seen footage of me meeting Sam Hyde.
00:07:23.000 Pretty cool.
00:07:24.000 Some animations.
00:07:26.000 about me being talked about on poll when I was on He Will Not Divide Us.
00:07:30.000 It was a really cool project.
00:07:32.000 I was in love with it.
00:07:34.000 He showed me.
00:07:34.000 I got to watch it before it came out.
00:07:38.000 And it's, if you like this internet stuff, if you like the internet lore, if you're a super fan of the show, it's a must watch.
00:07:46.000 You gotta see it.
00:07:47.000 Not just saying that because if you buy it I get paid.
00:07:49.000 I'm not just saying it for that reason.
00:07:52.000 It is really good.
00:07:53.000 And I was surprised how much I was in it because I only went down to He Will Not Divide Us for a day.
00:07:59.000 But I was in it for, I was in the documentary for sort of a considerable amount of time.
00:08:04.000 So check that out.
00:08:05.000 Link is in my bio.
00:08:06.000 It's called The Dividers.
00:08:08.000 And I think it's $8 to rent.
00:08:10.000 It's $20 to buy.
00:08:12.000 So, costs about as much or a little bit less than a movie ticket.
00:08:16.000 So check that out.
00:08:17.000 Pretty sweet!
00:08:18.000 I'm in documentaries!
00:08:19.000 I'm in documentaries!
00:08:20.000 I'm in all the documentaries!
00:08:22.000 I'm in the... I'm in The Most Cancelled Man in America.
00:08:25.000 I'm in The Dividers.
00:08:26.000 I'm in the Alex Jones documentary.
00:08:28.000 I'm everywhere!
00:08:29.000 I'm a star!
00:08:30.000 How could I not shine?
00:08:32.000 So check that out.
00:08:33.000 Link in bio.
00:08:34.000 Super excited about that.
00:08:36.000 I hope you guys are all excited to see it as well.
00:08:39.000 Maybe I already did see it.
00:08:41.000 I put it on Telegram.
00:08:44.000 I don't like that it's sort of like this.
00:08:46.000 I wish it was like a little bit more boxy.
00:08:48.000 Yeah, like that.
00:08:49.000 I have to hold my shoulders up like this.
00:08:52.000 All right.
00:08:56.000 Okay, all right.
00:08:57.000 um this is so cumbersome but it's fun it's a fun fun seasonal halloween treat here with the big guy all right all right okay um okay
00:09:22.000 What else?
00:09:23.000 So with that, we're gonna dive into the news.
00:09:25.000 Let me think.
00:09:26.000 Anything else I wanted to discuss?
00:09:29.000 Nope?
00:09:29.000 Okay.
00:09:30.000 So let's get into the news here.
00:09:32.000 Whoops.
00:09:36.000 And our featured story is about this weed legalization deal.
00:09:40.000 And this is something that actually happened, I think, yesterday.
00:09:45.000 But I...
00:09:47.000 Didn't get a chance to cover it because we had Sneeko over here.
00:09:51.000 And so our first story is about Joe Biden, who has pardoned all of the people that are in federal jail, federal prison, for possession of marijuana.
00:10:03.000 And this is the story, and I'll react to it.
00:10:05.000 It says, quote, whoops, got the wrong one here.
00:10:10.000 It says, quote, US cannabis policy has been thrust to the fore.
00:10:14.000 After Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon for Americans federally convicted of possessing small amounts of the drug.
00:10:22.000 Mr. Biden also urged governors to do likewise on state offenses and called for a review on whether cannabis should be listed as a less serious drug.
00:10:32.000 Federal law currently classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, meaning it has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
00:10:41.000 As one White House official noted, that's the same schedule as heroin and LSD, and it's even higher than the classification for fentanyl and methamphetamine, which are the main drugs driving America's overdose epidemic.
00:10:58.000 Biden said on Thursday it makes no sense, as he directed his Attorney General and Health Secretary to oversee a review.
00:11:06.000 He said too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana.
00:11:10.000 It's time that we right these wrongs.
00:11:12.000 The news came as a surprise to many, but it has set cannabis stocks ablaze.
00:11:18.000 Advocates say the move is a first, albeit overdue, step to bringing a $33 billion industry out of the shadows and providing relief to those impacted by a war on drugs that began in the 70s.
00:11:31.000 It's a welcome conversation starter, said Cassandra Frederick, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance.
00:11:39.000 She said, we've been waiting for some action on cannabis reform federally.
00:11:43.000 So we welcome the opportunity to use this for a much broader conversation about reform.
00:11:48.000 As the White House itself has noted, Mr. Biden's pardons for simple possession are limited in scope.
00:11:54.000 Only about 6,500 people with federal convictions and some District of Columbia residents are eligible for the relief.
00:12:02.000 That's because while nearly 29 million Americans have been arrested for cannabis-related violations since 1965, nobody
00:12:13.000 Nobody is currently in federal prison solely for possession.
00:12:19.000 In addition, most convictions for possession are at the state and local level, and presidential pardons only apply to federal charges.
00:12:28.000 Mrs. Frederick argues, however, that the President's actions have put teeth behind efforts to relieve the perceived harms of cannabis prohibition.
00:12:37.000 Organizations like hers are calling on the President to deschedule the drug, that is, repeal cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, and regulate them in the same way as alcohol or tobacco.
00:12:51.000 If the Biden administration does ultimately call for reclassifying cannabis, the federal government will be catching up to reforms already underway in several US states.
00:13:00.000 So, there's a few things here.
00:13:03.000 The first is the most obvious.
00:13:05.000 He's only doing this because he is just using everything possible to shore up the Democrat majorities for the midterms.
00:13:15.000 We know that.
00:13:16.000 That's why he's releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
00:13:22.000 That is why he is forgiving $10,000 of student loan debt and this is why he's issuing a presidential pardon for 6,000 people who were convicted for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
00:13:38.000 They're just doing everything they can because they really haven't done much in the past two years on any level.
00:13:43.000 At the level of the presidency or at the congressional level, not a lot going on and not a lot that isn't very bad or controversial.
00:13:52.000 So that's in the first place.
00:13:54.000 Before we get into it, the question is, is it good politics?
00:13:58.000 And is it good policy?
00:14:00.000 Without a doubt, it's good politics.
00:14:03.000 In the sense that this is one of these issues that obviously skews younger and probably towards minorities, and it's young people and minorities that don't turn out in the midterm elections.
00:14:14.000 So these menu options, and I'm using that as colloquial expression, it's not technical, but these things that he has at his disposal, these executive actions that he can undertake unilaterally, student loan forgiveness, the pardon, the petroleum reserve,
00:14:32.000 I don't know.
00:14:47.000 Whether or not it's good, and by good I mean good policy, good for the country, is really an altogether separate question from why it's being done.
00:14:54.000 And why it's being done is because it's very good politics.
00:14:58.000 It's very good politically.
00:15:00.000 And even a lot of Republicans support this.
00:15:02.000 Like Matt Gaetz, which I don't really care for.
00:15:05.000 I like Gaetz.
00:15:06.000 But I do not like that he's in favor of drug legalization.
00:15:10.000 I thought we left that behind like 10 years ago.
00:15:13.000 I like Donald Trump saying we got to give the death penalty to drug dealers.
00:15:17.000 That's way better.
00:15:19.000 So, with that being said, to talk about it in terms of how it actually is, not just how it's going to affect the election.
00:15:27.000 In the first place, there's this big meme that's been going around for a long time where people say, we need to let these people out of jail that are arrested and convicted and sentenced for nothing other than peaceful drug offenses.
00:15:42.000 Nothing other than they didn't hurt anybody, they didn't sell to anybody, they just had drugs.
00:15:49.000 And we have heard this decried over and over and over again.
00:15:54.000 And there just aren't very many people in jail for that.
00:15:58.000 If you break down the statistics, on any level, in the county jails, in the state prisons, in the federal prisons, there are just not very many people in jail for peaceful drug offenses alone.
00:16:14.000 It's a small fraction of the people that are in jail for drug-related crimes, and drug-related crimes are a fraction of the crimes that people are in jail for.
00:16:24.000 So, the way that we hear it, it's like this is some kind of major problem.
00:16:29.000 Most of the people that are in jail are in jail for violent crimes.
00:16:34.000 Drug-related, non-drug-related, most people in the prisons are in prison because they're violent.
00:16:40.000 This idea that the prisons are filled to the brim with people that just got caught with a dime bag of marijuana, or what, I don't even know what the term, if that even is the terminology.
00:16:49.000 People that are caught with a little, I think it's cocaine is a dime, right?
00:16:52.000 I don't even know.
00:16:53.000 But people that are caught with small, I'm trying to sound like Street or something, I don't know, a small amount of marijuana, that's not why people are in jail.
00:17:01.000 People are not in jail for small amounts of drugs and nothing else.
00:17:05.000 Because, typically, how do people get busted with drugs?
00:17:09.000 It's not like the cops are going in and busting people at their house for discreetly using drugs.
00:17:15.000 It's not like people are getting busted driving in their car for discreetly possessing drugs in the car.
00:17:22.000 Typically, cops are finding drugs.
00:17:24.000 Typically, there's a possession charge because there's some other crime going on as well.
00:17:32.000 And so that's just not what's going on at all.
00:17:36.000 It reminds me of the situation with abortion.
00:17:38.000 It's the same, it's a very similar bait-and-switch, or a Mott & Bailey, if you will.
00:17:47.000 Where they'll put out there on abortion, what about rape?
00:17:51.000 What about incest?
00:17:52.000 What about the life of the mother?
00:17:54.000 And when you look at the statistics, it's literally less than 1% of abortions are any of those three things.
00:18:01.000 That's the number.
00:18:02.000 That's not me saying 99.9% meaning like most.
00:18:06.000 No, it's literally.
00:18:07.000 That's the figure.
00:18:09.000 Fewer than 1% of abortions in America are rape,
00:18:15.000 Or incest, or threatening the life of the mother.
00:18:17.000 99%, exactly 99% are elective, meaning that it's a form of birth control.
00:18:25.000 They got pregnant, they don't want the pregnancy anymore.
00:18:29.000 Not they were raped, not it was incest, not it was some other exceptional health situation.
00:18:34.000 99%.
00:18:36.000 But that, but those exceptions
00:18:39.000 constitute 90% of the debate.
00:18:42.000 Even though they're 1% of the abortions, 90% of the debate is about do you want to get rid of it altogether with no exceptions, or do you want to have it with exceptions?
00:18:50.000 If you kept it with exceptions, you'd be outlawing, or rather if you got rid of it, except for those things, you would still be getting rid of 99% of abortions.
00:19:01.000 That's really the crux of the argument.
00:19:03.000 And the same goes for something like this.
00:19:04.000 When we talk about drugs and drug law and drug crime and the war on drugs, and people go on and on about all these people that got arrested for just peacefully having drugs or possessing small amounts of drugs,
00:19:18.000 It's higher than 1%, but it's not like that's the real problem here.
00:19:23.000 It's not like in terms of law enforcement or incarceration, like, that's the predominant issue.
00:19:29.000 And even they have to admit in the BBC, which is a pro-drug publication,
00:19:36.000 Even they have to admit, there's literally not a single person in federal custody that's there in prison for drug possession alone.
00:19:45.000 They're all in there for additional things on top of that.
00:19:48.000 So what does that tell you?
00:19:51.000 But yet that's what we hear all day long is, people shouldn't be in jail just for having a little bit of drugs.
00:19:56.000 Okay, well the good news is, fortunately, nobody fits that description at the federal level.
00:20:01.000 There's not one person that fits that description.
00:20:04.000 State level and local level it's a little bit different but you get the idea.
00:20:10.000 So I wanted to talk on that at least at first because all these arguments when they talk about almost any of these social issues it's never exactly what it seems.
00:20:22.000 When it comes to crime, when it comes to incarceration, when it comes to drugs, abortion, when we talk about trans or homosexuality, we talk about any of these things
00:20:32.000 They're never presenting it as it is.
00:20:36.000 As we all know that it is.
00:20:38.000 And that's why it's very infrequently that people even get into the numbers.
00:20:42.000 That's why they have to appeal to the emotions.
00:20:45.000 And, you know, facts don't care about your feelings and all that.
00:20:48.000 But anyway, that's just that argument.
00:20:50.000 In terms of legalizing marijuana, that's another conversation.
00:20:55.000 It's not just that they're talking about freeing people that are in jail for possession.
00:21:01.000 That is just one among other arguments in favor of legalization.
00:21:05.000 That's the real thing that they're pushing.
00:21:07.000 They don't want to reschedule the drug.
00:21:09.000 They don't want to reclassify it.
00:21:11.000 They want to legalize marijuana.
00:21:13.000 And they want to legalize other drugs as well.
00:21:15.000 They're pro-drug.
00:21:16.000 Drugs are a big part of leftism, actually.
00:21:23.000 When you look across the board at liberals, you almost can't separate out their lives from drugs.
00:21:29.000 And that's kind of an interesting phenomenon.
00:21:33.000 Which, I'll get to that in a minute, but...
00:21:36.000 For openers, let's just put it right out there.
00:21:38.000 They want to legalize drugs.
00:21:40.000 And here's the thing.
00:21:41.000 I used to be in favor of legalizing drugs at one point.
00:21:43.000 I was a libertarian when I was in high school.
00:21:47.000 And I used to agree with this argument that was made by Ron Paul and Milton Friedman and others that
00:21:53.000 The way it is right now all the drugs are banned and so it creates a black market for drugs And so you're essentially just giving the business you're giving the industry of drugs Which there will be a demand for and there'll be a supply for always you're just giving this lucrative business over
00:22:10.000 To criminals.
00:22:12.000 And criminal enterprises are violent.
00:22:15.000 And so, the argument goes something like, even if you don't like drugs, even if you're against drugs, everyone should be in favor of it because there always will be drugs to sell and there will always be a market to buy it from.
00:22:28.000 And the question is not whether you're going to stop people from using drugs, but who's going to sell them.
00:22:35.000 That's how the argument goes.
00:22:37.000 Are we going to let violent criminals sell them?
00:22:39.000 Who are also going to traffic people and weapons and arm themselves and form gangs and use that to make profits to fund gang warfare?
00:22:49.000 Or are we going to put it in the hands of the private sector and starve the gangs of their source of income?
00:22:56.000 And I've heard that argument before, and I used to subscribe to that and say, you know, people aren't using drugs.
00:23:02.000 People are not not using drugs because they're illegal.
00:23:05.000 People are not not using drugs because they don't want to.
00:23:09.000 And if people do want to use drugs, well, then they have no problem getting drugs.
00:23:12.000 They never have.
00:23:13.000 For as long as these drugs have been around, which is really only in the last century for some of them, some of these designer drugs, as an example.
00:23:22.000 Like LSD or math or whatever.
00:23:24.000 If people want it, they can get it.
00:23:28.000 And I used to think, so as long as that's the case, let them buy it in the daytime from a legitimate vendor and not from the cartels, not from the gangs.
00:23:39.000 I used to believe that, but when you actually look at prohibition and the effect of prohibition, that's the same argument they used to use for the prohibition in the 1920s, the prohibition of alcohol, which was created by, what was it, the 18th Amendment, I think?
00:23:55.000 Or the 20th Amendment?
00:23:58.000 And they always say that the prohibition of alcohol didn't work.
00:24:01.000 It just created this criminal market and that's why we legalized it.
00:24:03.000 It was this great failure and that's what's going on with drug legalization right now.
00:24:08.000 But when you look at the effects of prohibition of alcohol, or you look at the effects of prohibition of drugs,
00:24:14.000 What you find is that that theoretical argument, this argument based on assumptions that we're just giving the market to drug dealers on the streets and people are going to buy it and sell it anyway, it just isn't true.
00:24:28.000 Because when you legalize these things,
00:24:32.000 More people buy them.
00:24:34.000 That's the basic fact that nobody is saying.
00:24:37.000 When we prohibited alcohol from being sold in the United States, what they will never tell you is that it worked.
00:24:44.000 People go, what?
00:24:45.000 Prohibition didn't work.
00:24:47.000 What about Al Capone?
00:24:48.000 What about the mob?
00:24:49.000 Yeah, you had bootleggers and yeah, you had speakeases and things like that.
00:24:53.000 But consumption of alcohol went down dramatically nationwide.
00:24:57.000 Sure, people still got it.
00:25:00.000 But it went down.
00:25:01.000 Less people were getting it.
00:25:02.000 Fewer people were getting alcohol than before.
00:25:05.000 Drug driving went down.
00:25:06.000 Other alcohol related consumption crimes went down.
00:25:09.000 So that's what they don't tell you.
00:25:12.000 Is that the prohibitionists were successful.
00:25:15.000 They banned alcohol.
00:25:16.000 And the goal was to introduce temperance to America.
00:25:21.000 Because there were so many fatalities from drunk driving and so much violence going on because of alcoholism.
00:25:28.000 And so initially they were successful.
00:25:31.000 The consumption of alcohol plummeted in the first few years and it recovered a little bit, but it was it was always depressed.
00:25:38.000 And the same goes for things like drunk driving.
00:25:40.000 The same is true for drugs.
00:25:42.000 We see that in states that have legalized marijuana, there's more marijuana consumption.
00:25:47.000 There are more DUIs related to marijuana.
00:25:50.000 There are also problems of marijuana overdose.
00:25:53.000 And I know all of the bro science experts that read articles on Reddit would say, what bro?
00:25:59.000 You can't overdose on marijuana.
00:26:01.000 Read about it.
00:26:02.000 In California, in other states that have legalized marijuana,
00:26:07.000 They're seeing surges of hospitalizations of people that have induced in themselves psychosis or other forms of mental illness because they're habitual pot users or they're taking in lots of marijuana.
00:26:22.000 And it's funny, I grew up around pot smokers.
00:26:25.000 When I went to high school, all my friends were stoners.
00:26:28.000 I never smoked pot once.
00:26:29.000 I never took drugs.
00:26:31.000 I never smoked anything.
00:26:32.000 Cigarettes, vape, anything like that.
00:26:34.000 All my friends were marijuana users.
00:26:37.000 They could not have a good time without marijuana.
00:26:40.000 They smoked it every day, everything revolved around acquiring pot, smoking pot, and then getting more pot.
00:26:48.000 And they would insist, we're not addicted, it doesn't cause any problems, it's not a gateway drug, and then by the end of high school they were all doing cocaine, Xanax, with alcohol, which is like lethal, LSD, molly, everything you can imagine.
00:27:03.000 So, it's like so many other things in this society.
00:27:06.000 We've got a country of man-children that don't know how to discipline themselves, and so we're listening to these potheads.
00:27:12.000 We're listening to people that are literally addicted to drugs, as they tell us, it's not addictive, it's not a gateway drug, you're just uptight, it doesn't cause problems.
00:27:22.000 But the data doesn't lie.
00:27:24.000 Legalized drugs, you get more drug users.
00:27:26.000 Legalized drugs, you get more drug crime, you get more DUI, you get more psychosis, you get more problems.
00:27:33.000 And the question then becomes, not about crime, because you know what you do with crime?
00:27:41.000 You eliminate crime.
00:27:42.000 We can eliminate crime, actually.
00:27:44.000 I'll get into that aspect of it in a second, too.
00:27:49.000 People say we've got to throw in the towel because people are breaking the law using drugs and the people selling the drugs are breaking the laws by being violent.
00:27:59.000 Well, the solution is not to throw in the towel and say, oh well, better give over the streets to the drug users and the gangs because we can't get a handle on it.
00:28:08.000 If you have gangs forming up around drugs, then we need an FBI that isn't corrupt.
00:28:14.000 We need an FBI and a CIA and police forces and a DEA that are not corrupt.
00:28:20.000 And we need to intercept the drugs at the border, and we need to kill the drug dealers and kill the gangs.
00:28:25.000 We can do it.
00:28:26.000 And you can hunt down every incel and right-winger, and you can hunt down ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
00:28:31.000 You can hunt down drug dealers.
00:28:32.000 We just don't want to.
00:28:35.000 So don't tell me that we just have to, it has to be either we permit drugs for everybody or we don't and then we just have all this crime.
00:28:44.000 That's not, that's a fake dichotomy.
00:28:47.000 That's a fake dialectic between prohibition that doesn't even work and you can never fully stop it and you just give it to the gangs anyway and just permit it totally and legalize it.
00:29:00.000 It's a completely false dialectic.
00:29:03.000 The real conversation is what kind of society do we want to live in?
00:29:07.000 Do we want to live in a society with drugs or not?
00:29:11.000 Are drugs good for society or not?
00:29:13.000 Do we want to have a society where that's permitted and large numbers of people and children are using drugs or not?
00:29:21.000 And if we decide that that's a society that we want, then let no one stand in the way.
00:29:26.000 Let's sell it, let's permit it, let's open businesses.
00:29:29.000 And if we don't want to live in a society like that, then we need to arrest the people that possess it, sell it, manufacture it.
00:29:38.000 And if gangs are forming up in the business of it, then we need to arrest them too.
00:29:44.000 And if arresting them doesn't work, then do anti-corruption and law enforcement.
00:29:49.000 And bring more punitive forms of law enforcement punishment against the drug dealers.
00:29:57.000 Forget about rehabilitation.
00:29:58.000 Start chopping their heads off like they do in other countries.
00:30:01.000 Create more police.
00:30:02.000 Not difficult, not complicated.
00:30:05.000 But that's the real question.
00:30:07.000 And I would say that everything else is really just a distraction about, oh, implementation and laws and schedules and all these things are really just, let's get to the fundamental issue here, which is, is POT okay or is it not?
00:30:20.000 POT is not okay.
00:30:22.000 Marijuana, it does nothing for anybody.
00:30:25.000 People say it, you know, it can be medicinal.
00:30:29.000 Okay, well let a doctor prescribe it to people that have horrible cancer then.
00:30:34.000 If that's the argument.
00:30:35.000 But that's not the argument.
00:30:37.000 They don't want to push it for medicinal purposes, for people with epilepsy or for cancer.
00:30:43.000 They want to push it for recreation.
00:30:44.000 We all know that.
00:30:45.000 We know they're chomping at the bit to profit off of selling marijuana
00:30:51.000 To people for recreational, habitual, addictive purposes.
00:30:57.000 And nobody is profiting in their lives from marijuana.
00:31:00.000 If we could say that what is good for people is to be productive, for people to be sober, for people to be of sound mind, rational, reasonable, then we can say without a doubt that pot is not good.
00:31:14.000 And people say, well, isn't alcohol a drug?
00:31:16.000 Isn't caffeine a drug?
00:31:17.000 Alcohol's in the Bible.
00:31:19.000 And a person can enjoy small amounts of alcohol without becoming drunk.
00:31:26.000 People can enjoy, and I don't drink for what it's worth, but people can enjoy a glass of wine or a beer or something like that without becoming drunk, without becoming impaired.
00:31:36.000 Also, it's biblical.
00:31:37.000 Also, it's historical.
00:31:39.000 And I'm not even too keen on alcohol.
00:31:41.000 That one's already, that one's already out there.
00:31:43.000 If I could ban alcohol, I probably would.
00:31:45.000 But that one's already out of the bag.
00:31:47.000 And is alcohol really doing any favors for society?
00:31:50.000 Do we love the effects of alcohol on the society?
00:31:53.000 Every rape, almost every murder, car accident has got alcohol behind it.
00:31:59.000 Every infidelity, every, there's so many bad things that are, find their root cause in alcohol.
00:32:06.000 That's a fundamental question.
00:32:13.000 Do we want a society that's productive?
00:32:16.000 Do we want a society that's energetic and vigorous and looking towards the future?
00:32:20.000 Or do we want a society that is sort of sedentary and depressed and lazy and slothful?
00:32:29.000 That's the fundamental question about whether or not to legalize marijuana or other chemically altering substances.
00:32:36.000 Do we want to have a society that is healthy, and well, and productive, and doing all the kinds of things that are good for a person?
00:32:44.000 Or do we want to introduce things that are, as we know, bad for people?
00:32:48.000 Which includes large amounts of sugar, seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, marijuana, pills, other kinds of things.
00:32:58.000 That's the real question at the core of all of this.
00:33:01.000 As for crime, people say, well, you can never go after the gangs.
00:33:05.000 We can create a society where there's no crime.
00:33:08.000 There are firms out there that use groundbreaking genetic technology.
00:33:13.000 There's a firm called Othram as an example.
00:33:15.000 There's AI firms like Clearview that use facial recognition.
00:33:19.000 The idea that we don't know who's dealing drugs, that we can't stop who's dealing drugs,
00:33:24.000 That is a myth that they tell to stupid people.
00:33:27.000 That is just a straight-up, bald-faced lie that they tell to ignorant people that don't know about the strides that have been made in the technology.
00:33:37.000 You put together the new research and the new technology, the new advancements and
00:33:42.000 We're good.
00:33:55.000 Criminals that are dead!
00:33:57.000 You should see the case studies where they'll go to an unsolved murder from 30 years ago with the tiniest amount of genetic material and they identify who it is decades after the fact.
00:34:10.000 Often the killer's already dead from certain things or the criminal's already dead.
00:34:15.000 Clearview AI and other facial recognition.
00:34:18.000 If you have artificial intelligence that can recognize people like me on social media
00:34:25.000 And people in the Capitol on January 6th and things like that, don't tell me that you can't stop gang crime.
00:34:31.000 Of course you can stop gang crime.
00:34:33.000 Of course you can stop virtually all crime in this day and age.
00:34:38.000 It's just a question of, is that what the regime wants to do?
00:34:41.000 The answer right now is no.
00:34:44.000 And that's because the regime is corrupt and they profit from the drug trade.
00:34:49.000 All the organized crime in the world, or most of it,
00:34:52.000 We're good to go.
00:35:10.000 Is just ridiculous.
00:35:11.000 If they could do a manhunt for Julian Assange the day that they wanted him, or Edward Snowden the day that that stuff came out about the NSA, you think that they really were chasing Bin Laden for that long?
00:35:23.000 You really believe that?
00:35:24.000 You really think they couldn't find him for 10 years in Pakistan?
00:35:27.000 You really think they can't find El Chapo and all these guys?
00:35:32.000 Of course they could!
00:35:34.000 Of course they can, of course they could.
00:35:36.000 It's a question of if they flipped a switch and brought on the right team with the right technology, they could end all, with enough personnel and enough time, they could end all the drug crime.
00:35:46.000 So, suffice to say, almost every argument about drugs is a bait and switch.
00:35:52.000 It's not the real argument.
00:35:54.000 Don't tell me that we're taking it out of the gangs and putting it in the hands of the private sector.
00:35:58.000 We could eliminate the gangs.
00:35:59.000 Don't tell me there's always going to be drug users.
00:36:02.000 There's going to be way more if we legalize it than if we don't.
00:36:06.000 And if we were serious, we could reduce it significantly if we shut it down at all the borders and prevented it from being manufactured here.
00:36:14.000 Don't tell me that it's about medical purposes, or we're just trying to reschedule it, or we just don't want people in jail for a possession.
00:36:22.000 None of these are good faith arguments.
00:36:24.000 These are all people that just want, like everything else, they want unrestrained, unrestricted use of marijuana for their own personal use.
00:36:35.000 That's what they want.
00:36:38.000 And it raises a broader question about the society, which is
00:36:43.000 Again, it goes back to the character of the society.
00:36:46.000 Do people have a right?
00:36:49.000 And do people living in a society have a right to kill themselves and thereby kill the society that they comprise?
00:37:02.000 Do people have a right to become addicted to drugs, become addicted to pornography, become addicted to sugar, balloon up to 400 pounds?
00:37:12.000 Do people have a right to waste their whole day, not work, squat and refuse to be evicted?
00:37:21.000 Do people have a right to do these kinds of things?
00:37:25.000 We're told by liberalism, yes they do!
00:37:27.000 It's their God-given right, and we just gotta make the case.
00:37:31.000 I'm not so sure anymore.
00:37:34.000 I'm not so sure that that's the case anymore.
00:37:37.000 Because it seems that we've tried this experiment,
00:37:42.000 And it didn't work.
00:37:43.000 Half the country's obese.
00:37:46.000 Large percentages of the country are on some kind of medication, whether they've tried marijuana, addicted to marijuana, they're on antidepressants, they're on opioids, killing themselves with opioids, committing suicide, straight up, and other ways.
00:38:00.000 Large numbers of people addicted to pornography, people dying deaths of despair, young men and young women despairing,
00:38:09.000 It's this health crisis, people dying from arrhythmia from the vaccines, and the, uh, what do they call it, myocarditis?
00:38:17.000 Cancers and autism because of what's in the food?
00:38:21.000 How the food is processed in America in a way that it's not processed anywhere else in the world?
00:38:27.000 We've tried it.
00:38:28.000 It's not working.
00:38:30.000 I would rather have a society where the government is legislating these things and maybe they go too far and they restrict too much than what we have right now.
00:38:40.000 Who among us would say I would rather see a loved one become 500 pounds?
00:38:45.000 I would rather see somebody live through the kinds of things we have to witness, the horror stories behind every corner that we have to witness all day in the workplace, with our classmates, with our loved ones and our families.
00:39:00.000 Any day of the week, I would prefer to save them.
00:39:05.000 And I know people like to hear that.
00:39:06.000 I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
00:39:07.000 Well, you know what?
00:39:10.000 I'm not a government guy.
00:39:11.000 I came from the country.
00:39:13.000 And I want to get in government and then come from the government to help people in the country.
00:39:18.000 Because, clearly, they are either not capable or they're being preyed upon.
00:39:24.000 Either way, they need to be taken care of.
00:39:26.000 You could say either they can't handle choice, which is somewhat clear, because temptation is strong and addictions are strong and chemicals are strong and industry and the system is strong.
00:39:39.000 You could also say that maybe they're being preyed upon by the system.
00:39:44.000 And this is what's being put in people's faces and put on people's plates and put in people's hands and school.
00:39:50.000 We're good to go.
00:40:01.000 Shepherds need to get in control of the government and make sure to protect our people.
00:40:06.000 We know better than this.
00:40:07.000 The basis of this freedom, the basis of liberalism, was this idea hundreds of years ago that we don't know what's good for people, so everybody should be permitted to decide for themselves.
00:40:18.000 Well, I don't think necessarily that it should be illegal to do any sin, because everybody sins and people need to learn from their sins and things like that.
00:40:28.000 But we can say definitively that marijuana is never going to be good for people.
00:40:34.000 We can say definitively that seed oils in the foods are never going to be good for people.
00:40:39.000 We can say definitively that internet pornography, ubiquitous, is never going to be good for people.
00:40:45.000 These are things that should just be banned.
00:40:48.000 And let someone make the case.
00:40:50.000 What's the public welfare?
00:40:52.000 What's the argument from the standpoint of the interest of our people, from the standpoint of the interest of our children, our families, that these things should be defended and remain permitted?
00:41:03.000 They shouldn't be.
00:41:04.000 Fuck Larry Flint, this Jewish pornographer that won the Supreme Court case.
00:41:10.000 He's a champion of free speech.
00:41:12.000 Well, look at how that turned out, if you're familiar with that.
00:41:17.000 Look at how bad it turned out.
00:41:19.000 Thank God that we won the court case for Penthouse and Playboy, and 20 years later we're losing the case for American Renaissance and Alex Jones.
00:41:30.000 Aren't we so glad we used the free speech argument to permit?
00:41:33.000 Seriously?
00:41:35.000 So, on a deeper level, it's not just about whether we want to have a society with drugs or not with drugs, it's what kind of society do we want, period.
00:41:44.000 What kind of people do we want?
00:41:46.000 Are we a family society?
00:41:47.000 Do we want a society where we look at people as children?
00:41:52.000 Look at people, not children in terms of they're immature or juvenile, but look at people in terms of they've got parents that love them.
00:41:58.000 Everybody has parents, or had parents, and everybody's a child of God.
00:42:05.000 And we tend to get away from that in this individualism mindset of, what if, in the state of nature, an abstract individual, like an atom... Okay, well, people aren't atoms, and people aren't individuals, and people are never in the state of nature, except for in the Garden of Eden.
00:42:21.000 So let's just dispense with that.
00:42:24.000 We're not atoms.
00:42:26.000 We're molecules.
00:42:27.000 We're bound together with other people.
00:42:29.000 We're bound together because we all came from parents.
00:42:32.000 We all came from a long line of ancestors and we've all got siblings and we're all connected to the people that we share time and space with.
00:42:40.000 The idea that we are leaving people to their own devices because of some abstraction and the rights that we could derive from these kinds of things
00:42:50.000 It just denies the nature of reality.
00:42:52.000 It denies the nature of human society.
00:42:57.000 Does anybody want to see their kid become a drug addict?
00:42:59.000 Does anybody want to see their kid become some kind of slothful, miscreant, not contributing to society?
00:43:05.000 No?
00:43:06.000 Then why do we permit that to go on?
00:43:08.000 Why do we permit that to be foisted upon adolescents and children?
00:43:12.000 Why do we permit that to be put in the media and entertainment?
00:43:16.000 Why do we permit
00:43:18.000 The Hollywood producers and the media to promote this?
00:43:21.000 If that's not what we want for our own, if that's not what we want for our children, if that's not what we want our society to be and to propagate, then why should we permit it to go on?
00:43:33.000 And they always say, oh, well, we'll control it in terms of age.
00:43:36.000 You know as well as I do, it always starts when people are young.
00:43:41.000 Nobody turns 25 and decides they want to start smoking pot.
00:43:44.000 Or at least very few people do.
00:43:47.000 People back then and people now got turned on to it when they were young.
00:43:53.000 Just like alcohol.
00:43:54.000 Who turns 21 and has their first drink in America?
00:43:58.000 Very few.
00:43:59.000 People hide behind that.
00:44:00.000 Well, we will age-restrict it.
00:44:02.000 Oh, please.
00:44:03.000 Just like everything else, right?
00:44:04.000 Just like everything else is age-restricted.
00:44:06.000 And now they're putting drag shows in the schools.
00:44:08.000 Age-restriction's a big spook.
00:44:11.000 You know, so...
00:44:13.000 That's the real issue at hand with all this stuff.
00:44:16.000 People gotta grow up.
00:44:18.000 And figure out what kind of country we want.
00:44:20.000 Do we want to spend our inheritance?
00:44:21.000 Do we want to be the trust fund?
00:44:24.000 Not even really trust fund, but do we as Zoomers want to inherit whatever's left of the society that was created by our ancestors and consume it by devouring that while we do drugs and jerk off and get fat and lazy?
00:44:41.000 Or do we want to build and perpetuate our own society?
00:44:46.000 That's the question.
00:44:47.000 So that's that.
00:44:49.000 So I'm obviously against this.
00:44:51.000 I think these people should remain in jail.
00:44:53.000 I think there are laws, there are penalties.
00:44:58.000 You possess drugs, you get caught, go to jail.
00:45:01.000 And maybe there can be leniency, but that's for the judge to decide.
00:45:04.000 That's why we have a court.
00:45:06.000 It's for a judge to decide what's a permissible sentence and maybe a change of mandatory minimums.
00:45:12.000 I haven't studied the criminal justice as much.
00:45:16.000 But the idea that just because somebody's peaceful that they don't belong in jail for certain things is just not true.
00:45:21.000 People have an effect on other people in ways sometimes that aren't violent.
00:45:26.000 But I want to move on.
00:45:27.000 I want to get into the immigration crisis.
00:45:29.000 This is our featured story.
00:45:33.000 That's that on drugs.
00:45:35.000 So we're going to get on with the big immigration crisis here in New York.
00:45:41.000 And like I said, I
00:45:45.000 I guess I was wrong because I said all this stuff was so stupid but it turns out to be working and I'm talking about all these governors on the border with Mexico have been sending their migrants to DC and New York and Chicago and these northern cities in order to put pressure on the Democrats to do something about the border crisis because the border has never been worse.
00:46:10.000 And I said, this is a stunt.
00:46:12.000 It's a drop in the bucket.
00:46:13.000 They got migrants coming in all the time.
00:46:15.000 It's no big deal.
00:46:17.000 But as of this week, the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, has declared a state of emergency.
00:46:24.000 Because of all the migrants that are pouring in.
00:46:26.000 And this is a story, it says, quote, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has declared a state of emergency to address a crisis situation over an influx of migrants.
00:46:35.000 More than 17,000 have arrived in the city from the southern border since April.
00:46:41.000 Republican states like Texas, Arizona, and Florida have been sending migrants to Democratic areas in recent months.
00:46:47.000 It's part of a row with the White House as unprecedented numbers of people arrive at the border.
00:46:53.000 Since September, an average of five to six buses have been arriving in the city each day, said Mr. Adams at a press conference on Friday.
00:47:03.000 He said that one in five people in the city's shelter systems are currently asylum seekers.
00:47:08.000 Many of those arriving are families with school-aged children and are in serious need of medical care.
00:47:13.000 The influx is on track to cost New York $1 billion this fiscal year, and the mayor is calling for federal and state funding to help with the cost.
00:47:22.000 He said, New Yorkers are angry.
00:47:23.000 I am angry too.
00:47:24.000 We have not asked for this.
00:47:26.000 There was never any agreement to take on the job of supporting thousands of asylum seekers.
00:47:31.000 Syria, come on, man!
00:47:33.000 Are you kidding me?
00:47:34.000 How are they that explicit about it?
00:47:38.000 He says, the city is going to run out of funding for other priorities.
00:47:42.000 New York City is doing all we can, but we are reaching the outer limit of our ability to help.
00:47:47.000 He said the city's social services are being exploited by others for political gain.
00:47:52.000 Ha!
00:47:55.000 Gee, imagine that!
00:47:57.000 Imagine that an unprecedented number of people pour into your jurisdiction
00:48:03.000 And you didn't ask for it, and there was never an agreement to take on the job of supporting them, and you're running out of funding for other priorities, and you're reaching the limit of your ability to help, and you're being exploited by others for political gain?
00:48:16.000 Yeah, imagine that!
00:48:17.000 That sucks!
00:48:18.000 That's crazy, isn't it?
00:48:20.000 Go figure.
00:48:21.000 What are you, Donald Trump?
00:48:23.000 You sound like Donald freaking Trump.
00:48:25.000 You sound like Ann Coulter.
00:48:26.000 What happened?
00:48:28.000 What happened, you smug, uh...
00:48:32.000 Guy?
00:48:33.000 What happened, smug Eric Adams?
00:48:35.000 We from New York.
00:48:36.000 We got a brand here.
00:48:38.000 What happened to that smug liberal gangbanger mentality, huh?
00:48:43.000 What happened to that smug street hood?
00:48:46.000 I'm hood.
00:48:47.000 I'm from New York.
00:48:48.000 Yeah, well what happened to that?
00:48:49.000 Oh, now you don't want all these... now you don't want all these Guatemalans?
00:48:53.000 Now you don't want all these Salvadorian asylum seekers?
00:48:56.000 What the fuck?
00:48:59.000 I thought hate had no, hate has no home here!
00:49:01.000 No human being's illegal!
00:49:03.000 No human being's illegal!
00:49:06.000 Until they're in Martha's Vineyard.
00:49:08.000 Then we're gonna load them up on buses in 44 hours and throw them back on the other side of the island.
00:49:16.000 And unless they come to New York.
00:49:18.000 In which case, it's state of emergency!
00:49:23.000 Three states, Texas, Arizona, and Florida have transported migrants to Democratic-led areas focusing on self-proclaimed sanctuary cities that limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
00:49:35.000 Republican officials and border states say the tactic is aimed at mitigating the impact of migration flows.
00:49:41.000 They have also said the measure is designed to increase pressure on the administration of Joe Biden to reduce the number of migrants crossing the southern border.
00:49:50.000 The Democrat-run city of El Paso has been offering migrants free rides to New York and Chicago as a means of alleviating the strain on city resources.
00:49:59.000 El Paso alone has transported more than double the number of migrants, nearly 9,000, to the two northern cities that have been sent by the Texas governor.
00:50:09.000 El Paso officials say the rides are voluntary and that they coordinate with the destination cities to help the migrants upon arrival.
00:50:16.000 As part of his emergency declaration, the New York mayor issued an executive order that allows the city to dedicate resources to support asylum seekers and expedite any response efforts.
00:50:28.000 So, I have sort of mixed feelings about this because I still do.
00:50:34.000 They should just be deporting these people to Mexico.
00:50:39.000 Not to New York, not to Chicago.
00:50:42.000 They should just be shipping them back to Mexico.
00:50:44.000 They cross, put them on a bus, send them back over.
00:50:47.000 Mexico doesn't want them?
00:50:48.000 Then Mexico should stop them at their southern border.
00:50:50.000 Because that's a dirty little secret is these people aren't even Mexican anymore.
00:50:55.000 The people crossing the border are asylum seekers from the Northern Triangle countries, from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua.
00:51:05.000 They're coming also from Venezuela, and they're coming from countries that don't have a good relationship with the United States.
00:51:12.000 They're also coming from other continents they're flying in.
00:51:15.000 And the dirty secret is that they are
00:51:18.000 They themselves are crossing Mexico's southern border, and they're crossing through all of Mexico, and then they're crossing our southern border.
00:51:27.000 So people say, well, how are we going to return them to their jurisdiction?
00:51:30.000 Not our problem.
00:51:31.000 Not our problem.
00:51:33.000 The border has two sides to it.
00:51:35.000 And as far as I'm concerned, Mexico's not stopping any of these people leaving their country or moving through their country, crossing their border to come to America.
00:51:45.000 So, we're out of consideration for Mexico?
00:51:49.000 Gonna worry about putting them on a plane and sending them back to where they originally came from?
00:51:54.000 They all came from Mexico.
00:51:56.000 Insofar as the border on America and Mexico sits between America and Mexico, then they're all coming from Mexico.
00:52:05.000 They don't need to be Mexican.
00:52:06.000 They're coming from Mexico.
00:52:09.000 They were in Mexico.
00:52:10.000 They crossed into America.
00:52:12.000 They came from Mexico.
00:52:13.000 So,
00:52:15.000 Back to Mexico, they should return.
00:52:18.000 And this is within the jurisdiction of all the governors.
00:52:21.000 DeSantis, Abbott, Ducey, they all have the jurisdiction to put these people back in Mexico.
00:52:29.000 It's in the Constitution.
00:52:30.000 There's a federal statute that says that they can do this.
00:52:33.000 They'll have the ability to close the border and they'll have the ability to deport people.
00:52:37.000 They just won't do it.
00:52:40.000 So, I would prefer to see them ship back over the border.
00:52:43.000 If for whatever reason there is some
00:52:46.000 I don't know.
00:52:55.000 It is furthering the problem in blue cities.
00:52:57.000 At least you're preventing these people from putting down their roots in red states where they're going to have kids and they're going to vote and the kids are going to vote and then they'll be impossible to remove eventually.
00:53:09.000 At least you're putting them in Chicago and New York where it's already... we're never going to win there.
00:53:14.000 We're never going to win a Republican election there.
00:53:17.000 I guess that's the upside and also you're going to get them out of the cities in Texas and things like that.
00:53:23.000 On the other side, though, you're just pushing them further in.
00:53:25.000 And you know, they're not going to stay in Chicago.
00:53:27.000 They're going to go to Wisconsin.
00:53:28.000 They're going to spread out and fan out all over the country.
00:53:31.000 They're just being moved further into the interior.
00:53:34.000 So, it's good from an electoral standpoint.
00:53:36.000 It's bad from the standpoint of some of these other states, actually.
00:53:42.000 And for how this demographic transition is now being evened out, it was honestly not as bad when it was concentrated in the Southwest, because at least it was like, okay, well that's just California.
00:53:53.000 Now they're everywhere.
00:53:55.000 So it's not good.
00:53:58.000 And the idea that they're ever going to pressure Biden to stop, it just won't happen.
00:54:01.000 The idea that they're going to put a strain on the resources, are you kidding me?
00:54:06.000 Chicago is already completely insolvent.
00:54:08.000 Do you think a few thousand more migrants is going to make a difference?
00:54:12.000 Chicago's paying more people.
00:54:14.000 They're paying more pensioners and disability than they have people working for the city of Chicago.
00:54:20.000 It's unbelievable the abuses in this city.
00:54:23.000 The state government, the city government, the Illinois Springfield government, the Chicago government have both been like irreparably bankrupt for decades and completely corrupt and it's largely the fault of the unions and the Democratic machine which used to be run by, what was his name, Madigan.
00:54:45.000 And it's been going on forever.
00:54:47.000 They've been stealing forever.
00:54:48.000 So the idea that you're going to put some migrants in and it's just... They'll always be the limitless coffers of the federal government, which gets its money by printing it.
00:54:57.000 As if there's any lack of a propensity to print and spend more money at any level.
00:55:03.000 It's just ridiculous.
00:55:04.000 And what's more, El Paso is sending them there as an assistance program.
00:55:11.000 Texas, the government, is sending them there as a punishment.
00:55:14.000 So which is it?
00:55:15.000 If El Paso is sending them there as a free trip, literally as, hey, you want your final destination Chicago?
00:55:22.000 All aboard!
00:55:23.000 We'll get you there.
00:55:24.000 And if they're doing that even more than Texas is doing that, saying, get your ass on the bus,
00:55:31.000 Get them out of here, you know, tapping the back of the door, kicking the tires, get the fuck out of here.
00:55:35.000 If they're both going to the same destination, it's like, okay, so how is this really punishing anybody here?
00:55:44.000 I think you're just taking them where they maybe want to go to begin with.
00:55:49.000 I don't think anybody's gonna say, oh man, now we're in New York.
00:55:53.000 Maybe they are.
00:55:54.000 I don't know.
00:55:54.000 But I don't think it's... I think the point is they want free health care.
00:55:57.000 They'll get it in New York.
00:55:58.000 You know?
00:55:59.000 They want free education and free health care and they want welfare and they'll get it.
00:56:03.000 They'll probably have an easier time getting it in Chicago and in New York.
00:56:08.000 They come here sick, they come here illiterate, they come here poor, and they come here to get stuff.
00:56:14.000 They come here to get free hospital, they come here to get free school for their kids, government housing, they come here to get food stamps, they come here to get a cheap job, a low-wage job.
00:56:26.000 And they're going to get that in Chicago and New York, so it's no skin off Eric Adams' nose or Lori Lightfoot or Joe Biden.
00:56:33.000 It's not going to change policy.
00:56:34.000 It's not going to hurt those jurisdictions.
00:56:36.000 It's not going to hurt those people.
00:56:37.000 And everybody says, oh, well, liberals will have to deal with the consequences of their decisions.
00:56:43.000 Liberals don't care.
00:56:45.000 Do you think that Chicago will ever go red because of black crime?
00:56:48.000 Is the city of Chicago in any danger of becoming Republican because of the decisions and the policies that have led to crime getting this bad?
00:56:57.000 Do you think that any of the faggots in the North Side, any of the white people, any of the white yuppie liberals on the Gold Coast or in Lincoln Park,
00:57:07.000 Or in Boys Town?
00:57:08.000 You think any of those people are going to turn against blacks anytime soon or against the soft on crime policies because of all the people getting executed on Lakeshore Drive?
00:57:17.000 It's not going to happen.
00:57:18.000 It's never going to happen.
00:57:19.000 You think all these, they literally drive down some of these neighborhoods and they've all got the ultra pride flag, the gay flag with the trans and BLM Chevron.
00:57:31.000 You think that those people are gonna say, you know, I'm a gay liberal, but I'm sick and tired of black people executing my neighbors and stealing our cars and catalytic converters, so I'm voting for Trump to bring the National Guard to Chicago.
00:57:45.000 It's never gonna happen!
00:57:47.000 So this idea that all we need to do is make liberals live up to their principles, they'll do it!
00:57:54.000 Their kids will be killed by illegals and they'll go on TV and say, I love burritos, I love tacos,
00:58:00.000 You think that 10,000 illegal immigrants more in New York is even going to make a difference?
00:58:05.000 And if it did, do you think that any of these liberals would change how they vote?
00:58:08.000 They would change themselves!
00:58:10.000 They'd say, oh I'm sorry for bleeding on your Nikes.
00:58:13.000 They're getting executed by blacks on Lakeshore Drive and saying, oh I'm so sorry I'm bleeding all over your new shoes.
