As a record number of migrants flood across the southern border, the situation at the border is reaching a breaking point. Customs and Border Protection says it s a serious challenge to keep pace with the surge of migrants arriving daily.
00:04:42.340So why does he keep saying things like that?
00:04:44.660Well, maybe because recent polling shows that those anti-immigrant comments are helping him more than they're hurting him,
00:04:52.440specifically with Republicans in Iowa.
00:04:55.700In the latest NBC News Des Moines Register media.com poll, which was conducted earlier this month,
00:05:02.54042 percent of likely Iowa Republican caucus goers said Trump's poisoning the blood remark made them more likely to support him.
00:05:12.560That's compared to 28 percent who said those comments made them less likely to caucus for Trump and 29 percent who said it had no bearing on their support.
00:05:22.280I am anti-immigrant, illegal, call ICE, send them all back, waiting across the Rio Grande and don't obey our immigration and naturalization laws.
00:05:35.800And to see another group come over here, it's disgraceful.
00:06:43.240Health Minister of France announced his resignation on Wednesday.
00:06:46.900This comes a day after France's parliament gave its final approval on a toughened immigration bill.
00:06:52.760The approved bill would delay access to housing benefits for unemployed non-EU immigrants by five years.
00:07:01.520President Emmanuel Macron faced cracks within his ruling alliance on Wednesday after the bill's passage.
00:07:07.400French conservatives, however, argue welfare systems should be reserved for French people only.
00:07:12.440Because we see exactly who they are and what they are.
00:07:15.560The great unmasking of who's on our side of the football, who's on the side of the republic, and who are globalists, who are followers of the party at Davos, who are not populist nationalists.
00:09:13.680It's Friday 22, December, in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:09:21.900One of the most powerful statements I've heard in all of 2023 is that black man at the Chicago City Council that in about two minutes laid down the entire theory of the case.
00:09:37.160We need Donald Trump back here to clean up this mess.
00:09:39.860We're going to replay that in a little while.
00:09:42.360Throughout the world, the camp of the saints from Germany, an alternative for Deutschland, now the anti-invasion party, the pro-sovereignty party, is now in first place in German politics.
00:09:55.540The German establishment is losing it.
00:09:57.320They're trying to figure out how to ban them as a political party.
00:10:00.480In France, Macron and his cohorts absolutely cratered with a bill that was not even nearly hard enough, just a first step, but a massive win for Le Pen and Front National.
00:10:15.500As finally people start to wake up, that this just can't go on.
00:10:18.800You're having a massive global invasion.
00:10:25.740And the Biden administration initiated it.
00:10:28.340And then you hear LeMere from Politico, formerly of Associated Press there on Morning Joe.
00:10:34.720Oh, you know, people in the country do think there's something now, you know, they really think something kind of ought to be done about it.
00:11:29.760They're holding up the defense of our country on the southern border to get $60 billion more to Ukraine.
00:11:36.940Please tell people, what is the fetish of the Uniparty, and this is many Republicans in the Senate also, why are they so maniacally obsessed with having to get money to Ukraine, even to the fact that they would put the security of the border and the nation in the same bucket, sir?
00:11:56.880Fetish might be being too generous, frankly.
00:12:01.460They are the representation of the old feudal order, right, the elites who thought they were better than you, they were better than nationality and ethnicity, than religion, than any sense of morality.
00:12:12.600They are this globalist elite network who pleasure themselves by sending other people's kids to die in wars so that they can fight over their game of chess,
00:12:21.840over things that matter to no one, that impact no one's level of prosperity.
00:12:26.440That's $60 billion they want to steal.
00:12:29.000And let's be clear, steal from American families through higher interest rates, through more inflation taxes.
00:12:35.200They're claiming that is somehow an investment in America.
00:12:38.840These are people who will tell you that, you know, Biden's, quote, investments in green infrastructure are just government theft and spending.
00:13:17.580One of the things we're going to talk about is that there's been a collapse of support among the people, the voters in Europe right now for this whole Ukraine situation.
00:13:24.820How do our elites get over that hurdle that the Europeans are not sitting there saying, OK, if America is not in, we're going to make up the difference?
00:13:31.200How do our elites here actually argue the case when the Europeans don't want to put any more money in?
00:13:37.140Well, they're sweating it right now because all the people you're talking about, they're getting victories, including by the Gert Wilders, right, who's been championing this message for more than a decade.
00:13:44.380But, you know, what the elites are trying to double down on is this argument that somehow this is an investment, right?
00:13:49.920They're trying to make this argument that, I mean, frankly, supporting the murder of Armenian Christians, that supporting the corrupt regime in Ukraine is somehow going to put us back in a competitive edge.
00:14:00.760They are trying to grasp its straws, right, on the strategic arguments, on the economic arguments.
00:14:05.880I mean, like we're talking about, heck, they are defending the idea of government central planning, of government theft of people's money as somehow a positive for the economy.
00:14:14.900Now, I'm optimistic because of what you're talking about in Europe, what you're talking about here, people like that gentleman you were talking about in Chicago.
00:14:20.820I'm optimistic that they're facing finally a wave of opposition that they won't be able to push over the way they've done for decades, unfortunately.
00:17:04.920Do you imagine we had a little bit of a discussion yesterday how Tim Alberta and Morning Joe would be melting down about Christians in this country, particularly Christians that love their country and believe it's a providential country and believe it's the New Jerusalem.
00:17:23.720Do you understand how completely panicked they would be if our culture and society had the type of verve and urgency and robust nature and confidence that that music, that's where we play the carols from the 18th and 19th century.
00:17:45.260You can see a culture and civilization that believed in itself, believed in its mission, believed in its purpose.
00:17:51.180Even, I think it was Harnwell, said it has a little swagger.
00:17:57.660That's one of the reasons the Christmas season with the traditions and the music and all of it.
00:18:02.460Richard Stern, when we get back on the 9th, when Congress returns, 10 days before the first CR, a month or four weeks before the second, people are girded for a fight right now.
00:18:16.320Because they have – particularly as they've seen the Senate, the Senate is just not serious about the finances of the country.
00:18:26.060You've done a lot of these numbers for us.
00:18:27.340If you look at the trailing 12 months, $2.5 trillion deficit.
00:18:30.680Every projection the White House gave, everything the Senate told us, everything that the collaborators in the House, everything they said about the math was just dead wrong.
00:18:40.800And this Wall Street run on the MAG-7 stocks, right, is because we're juicing the system with as much liquidity as Janet Yellen can throw coal into the furnace.
00:18:57.720You know, so the government can print cash.
00:18:59.800It can't print more factories, more houses, trucks, real things.
00:19:03.980And so that's exactly what's happening, is the government is creating more money out of thin air, which just dilutes the value of your money, your retirement savings, your paycheck.
00:19:12.980And, yeah, it's going to the collection hands of a handful of privileged companies, privileged by what?
00:19:18.840Their cozy relationship with lawmakers and regulators.
00:19:22.500These are companies that have left the free market.
00:19:25.860Their business model is no longer to be good businesses.
00:19:29.160Their business model is to cater to the elites, to buy them off, and to buy laws and regulations that funnel that newly printed inflationary cash into their hands.
00:19:39.480And, by the way, an enormous amount of them are our so-called defense contractors, who, as you pointed out before, are profiting off of Ukraine and these other things.
00:19:48.140But, you know, I think you hit the nail on the head.
00:19:52.780The nation you talked about that created that music and that art, that believed in that providential value of the United States, they believed in allowing people to keep the fruits of their labors.
00:20:02.040They believed in a society that had the faith in what we could do individually with our freedom and with God.
00:20:08.080That's what we're fighting for, is to restore that part of our country.
00:20:11.040Richard, how do people get to you over the holidays, social media, website, all of it?
00:20:17.820You can find me at Rich A. Stern on Twitter.
00:20:20.340You can also go online, of course, theheritage.org.
00:20:22.620You'll find all the stuff I've written.
00:20:24.280But, you know, I would tell you as well, right, it's all of us, but it takes all of us getting in this fight.
00:20:28.560To put that pressure you're talking about on members of Congress, on lawmakers, on influencers, to make sure that we are heard, that this message is heard, and that we don't just let the government steal more of our money, steal more of the fruits of our labors, and commit us to wars that will get our kids killed and not the elites.
00:20:44.860So, and thank you again, as always, for having me on.
00:20:57.180It's on Nikki Haley, how she left the Trump administration.
00:21:00.540Remember, four weeks before the 18 midterm, she planned that, to basically say to Nancy Pelosi, I'm not with him.
00:21:07.180This is that crucial election, the midterm election, Trump's first term, which led to the impeachment, because Nancy Pelosi was selling the impeachment to her, to the people knocking on doors.
00:21:19.460Nikki's made a fortune following neoliberal, neocon policies, and basically, you know, getting donors and corporations that are neoliberal, neocon in their focus.
00:21:31.360And she's made a ton of money, a very, I think, enlightening, unmasking, expose in WAPO.
00:21:39.260Everybody should go to my getter, read it, and push it out.
00:21:42.280And, you know, President Trump's team, I don't think hitting her, I just don't think the spots that I'm seeing about Nikki Haley really get to the point.
00:21:52.360I think they can be much tougher, and I think they have to be much tougher.
00:21:55.340Because, you know, Fox News and all the media is now all on board to say Nikki's going to, because Nikki's got momentum.
00:22:04.120Nikki's surging, where the math doesn't really, I mean, you have an outlier poll every now and again, but the true math doesn't show that.
00:22:11.340But Fox is all in, the oligarchs are all in.
00:22:13.640And, of course, the people that hate Trump and want to destroy him are all in to prop her up, because they know she has no chance of beating Joe Biden and no chance of ever making any changes.
00:22:25.580She'll just go back to the same Bush-era policies.
00:22:28.980So the country will be done regardless.
