00:02:39.400And this is this is the thing is that what I always like to say is that we believe in the fact that different individuals came to this country because in that they became the essence of the American dream,
00:02:48.920that they can be self-realized here in the United States, not in their home country.
00:04:32.400Everything ties back to one side wanting to take away and the other side wanting to give back to when Joe Biden is running to be the president of all Americans.
00:04:43.520Donald Trump literally, in his own words, wants to prosecute and has described as subhuman a lot of the others.
00:04:55.680So, look, we have to keep in mind two things.
00:04:58.500The first is that Republicans, their plan for November is to make it harder to vote and easier to cheat.
00:05:05.100The harder to vote is the voter suppression tactics, the voter intimidation, the efforts to prevent every eligible citizen from being able to cast their ballot and have it count.
00:05:16.500The easier to cheat is the stuff after the election where they want to try to rig the rules through state legislatures and the like to try to undermine the will of the people.
00:05:25.500We have to be very clear-eyed that that's their strategy.
00:05:28.600The second thing, though, Nicole, and this is I'm speaking now to the business community and everyone else.
00:05:33.620The fight for democracy is the fight of our time.
00:05:37.460It isn't necessarily the fight we would have picked.
00:05:39.640It isn't necessarily what everyone would have hoped would be top of mind and top of agenda.
00:05:44.840But our generation is going to be judged by what we did at this moment when we were faced with a clear choice between democracy and autocracy.
00:05:53.520When we were facing down a wannabe dictator who was telling us out loud in clear, no uncertain terms what he was going to do if he was put back in power.
00:06:03.620And the business leaders who care more about the short term of their bottom lines will have to answer to the long term of history, to their children and their grandchildren, for why in this moment of time when they had so much power and the ability to make so much difference, instead they hid and they cowered.
00:06:22.180So this is the time for civic courage, you know, civic courage in our community centers, civic courage in our boardrooms, civic courage in the media, for everyone to do everything they can every single day to protect our democracy.
00:06:36.480This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:06:44.280Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:06:49.520I got a free shot of all these networks lying about the people.
00:06:53.780The people have had a belly full of it.
00:08:35.380The Electoral Count Act of 1887 is very clear.
00:08:38.220The state legislatures have this power.
00:08:40.080You're going to have to live with that.
00:08:41.240It's not these radical Democratic governors in Wisconsin, not that – by the way, the guy that vetoed everything that was going to take down men and women's sports.
00:11:29.000And now he's saying it's easier to cheat, and that cheating is relying upon state legislatures to make sure the electoral count is accurate and certifiable.
00:11:39.760Dave Bratt, your thoughts this morning.
00:11:43.220Yeah, well, the Sunday school teachers, they like part of the Bible when it comes to illegal immigration and welcoming our sojourners and wanderers.
00:11:53.920But they don't like the other parts, like called the Ten Commandments, where you're not supposed to bear false witness against President Trump, right?
00:12:02.040And all political views are my own, but these are not political views.
00:12:04.780These are ethical views and moral views.
00:12:07.380And what they're saying, they're just putting words in the mouth of President Trump every other second now that are just false.
00:12:16.520He hasn't claimed to be the messiah or this kind of thing.
00:12:19.000They're creating a narrative to scare the living daylights out of the American people because they know the Judeo-Christian folks in the Judeo-Christian West is waking up to the lies.
00:12:32.300And we have the receipts on all of this.
00:16:08.620I mean, the reality is most Americans, even if they might have a little ism in them, they sure do want their lawn done, and they like that guy who's building their house, and they want their food, and they want their cheap food.
00:16:20.380But Europe is the case where you have an aging European society that desperately needs immigrants in order to survive.
00:16:29.540We won't survive economically without money.
00:16:31.360No, and this is the thing, is that what I always like to say is that we believe in the fact that different individuals came to this country because in that, they became the essence of the American dream, that they can be self-realized here in the United States, not in their home country.
00:16:58.380Our strength in the 21st century is recognizing that our asset is our human capital that comes from everywhere, and we can't let him, we can't take his base.
00:17:41.320So the narrative is completely different.
00:17:44.700And frankly, the immigrants and refugees have pulled the wool right underneath everybody's eyes, because they're saying, we are not a threat.
00:17:51.960We're coming in, nos estamos entregando.
00:17:53.960We're giving ourselves over with our hands up.
00:21:30.780There's no question that adding people, including workers, to the U.S. economy makes for a larger economy.
00:21:37.800If you take all the illegal immigrants using standard estimates, there's no question that the U.S. economy is several hundred billion dollars larger.
00:21:48.980But that is not an argument that says that the native-born population or even the legal immigrant population benefits from that.
00:21:57.340If all that mattered was a larger economy, a larger GDP, then we would say that India is much richer than Sweden because it has a much larger economy, a much larger GDP.
00:22:08.380But we don't say that because what matters is per capita GDP, how much each person has, how much each person consumes or produces, not the aggregate size of the economy.
00:22:21.360And so the idea that all that matters is the size of the economy is absurd.
00:22:27.640The CBO actually says in its estimates, immigration will make the economy somewhat larger.
00:22:34.440And what they're talking about is the increase in immigration as a result of the border crisis.
00:22:38.580But it will also, as they point out, make per capita GDP lower.
00:22:43.940And, of course, per capita is what matters.
00:22:46.920Now, how much immigration affects the well-being of the native-born is a longstanding debate.
00:22:53.260But this idea at the outset that a bigger economy is better is absurd on its face.
00:23:01.260We know immigration reduces per capita, mainly because the immigrants are significantly poor on average.
00:23:06.860Having said that, probably what you want to think about when immigration happens is winners and losers.
00:23:12.780If you're an employer or a consumer that uses a lot of immigrant labor, you're likely the winner.
00:23:18.500If you're a less educated American worker and you compete with immigrants for jobs and it holds down your wages, which is the benefit that the employer gets or the consumer, then immigration is bad.
00:23:37.340So this whole argument about the scam and the con for everybody is that the employers and these guys don't pick up anything on the health care.
00:23:48.820They don't pick up anything for the education.
00:23:50.980When the Congress went down to Yuma for their – when Jim Jordan took them down there to have that panel, the citizens in Yuma, our health care system has been destroyed.
00:24:00.820Our education system has been destroyed.
00:24:03.020And this is both for the middle class and the working class.
00:24:05.320It's not even close to – the only people that prosper are employers that want to employ slave labor.
00:25:23.640And they or more often their U.S.-born children can qualify for public services.
00:25:27.840So, for example, the welfare cost of illegal immigration total, not just the new ones, is probably over $40 billion a year because illegal immigrants can benefit from certain programs.
00:25:38.640And their children, who are U.S.-born, and there's maybe 5 million now of those children, they can all benefit from those programs because they're considered U.S. citizens.
00:25:48.620In addition to that, we're probably spending close to $70 billion a year on the children of illegal immigrants in public schools.
00:25:55.840Then there's the health care issue for treatment of the uninsured.
00:26:12.740And that's one reason why we get so much illegal immigration is because whenever you have a narrowly focused benefit, like in this case the employer, it tends to trump the diffuse costs for the whole country.
00:26:26.500And so that's essentially what's happening.
00:26:28.240So workers lose out, especially low wage workers and taxpayers.
00:26:35.940The asset holders, particularly of real assets or stocks, make out because you're going to have higher operating margins, higher stock prices.
00:26:44.080The wealthy and the people that run the administrative state apparatus because they have more clients, they all make out.

00:37:41.560And that's assuming the data doesn't miss anyone, which, of course, it does.
00:37:46.120Though I will give the Census Bureau, which is collecting this data, a tremendous amount of credit for picking up a lot of recent arrivals.
00:37:53.700I won't go into their methodology, but it's not terrible.
00:37:56.940Now, do I think it's missing a million or two million people?
00:37:59.580Well, of course, but remember this, the growth of 6.4 million in the total foreign born must mean that something like 8 million people settled in the United States just in three years.
00:38:12.860And what's interesting is because remember that the growth only represents the net gain.
00:38:19.040All births in the United States to immigrants count as native born people, so they don't add to the immigrant or foreign born population.
00:38:25.860And the reason why it has to be a minimum of eight, but probably more, is because every year some people do go home.
00:38:31.460And there are about 300,000 deaths among the foreign born is normal human mortality.
00:38:36.160So that would be 900,000 deaths just in three years, and you have a million and a half people over those three years likely going home on their own, people retiring to their home country and so forth.
00:38:47.780Even illegal immigrants do leave sometimes, and some people, not a lot anymore, get deported.
00:38:52.680But my only point on that is that these numbers are unprecedented.
00:38:56.720We've never been here like this before as a country, and that's assuming you just take the numbers at face value.
00:40:13.860I'll just go over those numbers real quick.
00:40:15.400The Biden administration has released at least 3.3 million people in the United States.
00:40:19.780The Biden administration does admit there are about 1.7 million people they saw crossing the border but didn't stop, the so-called gotaways.
