00:00:25.780 The Poso Daily Brief.
00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.500 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.180 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:49.200 Christ is here.
00:00:50.320 As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that
00:00:56.840 there are only two genders, male and female.
00:01:02.560 The military is the largest employer of transgender Americans.
00:01:06.340 You heard up to 14,000, 15,000 members identify as trans.
00:01:12.320 And 56 of our retired generals have said that our trans members are ready to serve.
00:01:18.960 As the Secretary of Defense, it's an honor to salute smartly, as I did as a junior officer
00:01:24.060 and now as the Secretary of Defense, to ensure these orders are complied with rapidly and quickly.
00:01:29.920 The lawful orders of the President of the United States will be executed inside this Defense Department
00:01:34.480 swiftly and without excuse.
00:01:37.080 Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants or all these refugees have been properly vetted.
00:01:41.100 In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted
00:01:46.000 and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country.
00:01:49.180 That happened during the campaign, if you may remember.
00:01:51.600 So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted.
00:01:53.580 No, but there are 30,000 people in the pipeline.
00:01:55.900 I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted.
00:02:00.680 And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not going to force any other American citizens' kids to do that either.
00:02:05.560 And that was a very particular case.
00:02:06.920 It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here.
00:02:10.700 I don't really care, Margaret.
00:02:11.780 I don't want that person in my country.
00:02:13.620 And I think most Americans agree with me.
00:02:15.400 Where are you born?
00:02:16.460 Thailand.
00:02:18.780 You've been deported before from the United States?
00:02:21.280 No.
00:02:22.020 Were you a citizen?
00:02:23.340 No.
00:02:23.580 Well, this is an example of sanctuary cities, right?
00:02:25.760 We've got an illegal alien convicted of sex crimes involving children.
00:02:31.220 He's walking the streets of Chicago.
00:02:33.200 President of Colombia has agreed to accept Colombian migrants deported from the U.S.
00:02:38.200 after a series of threats from President Trump.
00:02:41.480 Those threats included steep tariffs.
00:02:43.740 He's putting Colombia, he's putting the rest of this hemisphere on notice that you are not dealing with the same president that you were.
00:02:49.700 You're dealing with someone who is taking illegal immigration seriously.
00:02:53.980 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily here live in Washington, D.C.
00:02:59.480 Today is January 27th, 2025.
00:03:02.760 You just saw a quick roundup of some of the news that's going on right now.
00:03:08.940 Pete Hegseth taking command at the Pentagon, referring to the bases as they are properly named.
00:03:16.760 Fort Benning.
00:03:18.760 Fort Bragg.
00:03:20.660 And all the rest of it.
00:03:21.440 President Trump also set to sign executive orders banning transgenders from the military.
00:03:26.500 What is the point of transgenders in the military?
00:03:30.200 The point of the military is to hurt people and break stuff.
00:03:34.320 That is not what is served by having transgenders there.
00:03:39.600 This is not for social experiments.
00:03:41.600 This is not for social engineering.
00:03:43.420 We need unit cohesion.
00:03:44.700 We need troop morale.
00:03:45.720 We don't need that.
00:03:47.180 By the way, there's lots of reasons that you could be banned from being in the military, okay?
00:03:50.800 Ask anybody who's trying to join.
00:03:52.780 Just go to your local MEPS office.
00:03:54.660 Go to your local MEPS office right now.
00:03:56.260 If you don't even know what that is, then you probably don't have any business even having this conversation.
00:03:59.800 But go to your local MEPS office and find out all of the different categories that you could be in for not being eligible for military service.
00:04:09.100 Criminal records, bad credit, having asthma, bad vision, all sorts of things under the sun.
00:04:15.860 So why should we allow someone in?
00:04:18.600 Why should we allow people in that we know have, at the bare minimum, massive surgical needs, massive hormonal needs?
00:04:28.480 It's ridiculous.
00:04:29.260 It doesn't make any sense.
00:04:30.320 We don't want it.
00:04:31.140 We're not interested in it.
00:04:32.220 It's done.
00:04:32.680 Then, going forward, Tom Holman conducting these raids over the weekend.
00:04:38.440 And I got to tell you, we're going to get into this in a minute here because with Holman focusing on the worst of the worst, that's what we need to get out of first.
00:04:46.400 There's no question about that.
00:04:47.520 And next, the numbers are going to increase.
00:04:49.920 The president of Columbia found that out and all the presidents have.
00:04:52.120 By the way, why is it that we get all our coffee from Columbia to begin with?
00:04:57.300 Why is it that we get all our flowers from Columbia?
00:05:00.740 Why do we need any of these things?
00:05:02.280 I think that it's time to go down to the Gulf of America and dump all the Colombian coffee overboard, every single shipment of it.
00:05:10.740 I think it's time to go down to the local Costco and start messing with the Colombian coffee there.
00:05:17.200 I may have done that myself earlier today.
00:05:19.600 The Costco manager may have been a little upset with me, a little bit upset with me, but no, no.
00:05:25.080 Folks, here's what's going on, okay?
00:05:27.300 Here's what's going on.
00:05:28.580 It's about putting America first.
00:05:30.060 And anyone, any socialist dictator who thinks that they get to tell us what gets to happen to our country, gets to tell us that we are forced to take their illegal citizens in, no.
00:05:42.440 Those numbers are going up.
00:05:43.540 And let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:44.860 They have been lying to you about the number of illegals in this country.
00:05:47.480 We're going to be talking about this.
00:05:48.900 And I tell you right now, when regular Americans understand the true scope of the amount of illegals in this country, they are going to be calling for a revolution.
00:05:58.100 And they're going to be demanding that President Trump and Tom Holman be quick about their business.
00:06:03.360 We'll be right back.
00:06:03.940 They talk about influences.
00:06:14.180 These are influences.
00:06:16.100 And they're friends of mine.
00:06:18.440 Jack Prasovic.
00:06:19.900 Where's Jack?
00:06:20.900 Jack.
00:06:21.840 He's done a great job.
00:06:23.380 All right, Jack Prasovic, we are back live in Washington, D.C., here under new management in the Imperial Capital.
00:06:35.100 Let me ask you something, folks.
00:06:36.020 Did you know that the seven banks have failed in the last two years?
00:06:40.940 Your money now has 20% less purchasing power than it did just four years ago when Joe Biden took office?
00:06:47.720 Well, the Human Events audience knows to expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to the economy.
00:06:53.580 That's exactly why we have partnered with today's episode sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
00:06:58.320 Gold has been the one commodity that stood strong for thousands of years.
00:07:02.560 Through wars, recessions, and financial collapses, gold has stood the test of time.
00:07:07.340 Because gold doesn't depend on Wall Street.
00:07:09.700 It doesn't depend on politicians or the value of paper money.
00:07:12.880 It's real.
00:07:13.520 It's tangible.
00:07:13.980 And it holds its value when everything else falls apart.
00:07:17.760 I partnered with Allegiance Gold because they can show you how to diversify your savings with gold and silver
00:07:23.380 and protect you with what you've worked so hard for.
00:07:27.060 Go to protectwithposo.com and Allegiance will give you up to $5,000 in free physical gold or silver to get started.
00:07:34.720 Plus, no setup fees if you choose a gold-backed IRA.
00:07:38.060 Time is right now.
00:07:39.500 Take control of your financial future.
00:07:41.060 Go to protectwithposo.com right now.
00:07:43.280 That's protectwithposo.com.
00:07:45.700 I want to bring our next guest on now because we're going to be talking about this question.
00:07:50.360 How many illegals are actually in this country?
00:07:54.640 And I'm starting to suspect that the true numbers are incorrect.
00:07:59.740 P.G. Keenan joins us once again on Human Events.
00:08:02.420 P.G., how are you?
00:08:03.160 And I've got to ask, how's the home?
00:08:05.100 How's the neighborhood?
00:08:07.420 Yeah.
00:08:08.100 Great to be back with you, Jack.
00:08:10.000 Yeah.
00:08:10.280 Fortunately, our street is okay.
00:08:12.120 We were evacuated for two nights.
00:08:13.960 We're back now.
00:08:15.140 But we live just about two blocks south of the Altadena fire zone.
00:08:19.520 So basically, if you go two blocks north of me and start driving around, it literally looks like Hiroshima.
00:08:25.860 There's just chimneys, as far as the eye can see, for like miles in every direction.
00:08:30.540 So it's been wild.
00:08:32.000 And incredibly, I'm hearing stories now of my neighbors up the street who somehow saved their homes by ingenuity and using their pools.
00:08:39.100 There was no water in the fire hydrants in Altadena.
00:08:44.120 And I have that from multiple sources.
00:08:47.480 That's completely ridiculous.
00:08:49.080 And I saw another video that went pretty viral.
00:08:51.820 A friend of mine, Dave Harvelish, who posted that video and talking about how he hasn't even been able to get to his home since January 7th.
00:09:01.100 And he had this video where he's talking to, I think it's a National Guardsman, saying, look, President Trump and Karen Bass were both on TV saying I should be able to get to my home and they still won't let him in.
00:09:12.400 Yeah.
00:09:12.800 I actually have a friend in Altadena who is a construction guy.
00:09:15.320 And he said, well, Karen Bass said I could go in.
00:09:17.300 So he actually had crews, like, illegally on his property yesterday.
00:09:20.320 But the problem, I watched the video of the Palisades Town Hall last night with Karen Bass and all of these California supervillains.
00:09:27.840 And the big holdup is that the EPA now has a health order from the L.A. County Department of Health.
00:09:33.240 The EPA has to first do their phase one cleanup of the hazardous materials.
00:09:37.620 And so that, according to them, last night will be months.
00:09:40.620 And only when that's done can anyone actually remove ash and debris.
00:09:44.820 So it's going to be a while.
00:09:46.780 That's completely ridiculous.
00:09:48.000 When we get some developments, we've got to get you back on.
00:09:50.100 But the other thing that I wanted to ask you about, and you and I have chatted about this, is so there's been these viral videos.
00:09:57.820 And I saw you commenting on it, and I was commenting on it, of empty stores, empty Walmarts, empty Home Depots.
00:10:07.020 I think there was, like, an empty restaurant, empty supermarkets.
00:10:10.960 And people are saying, now, again, I'm not going to come out and say I have all the facts on these videos
00:10:15.600 and that they're all 100%, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
00:10:18.700 But it's this new trend that's certainly going viral.
00:10:22.340 And you can look during the videos, and it does seem to be that there's people shopping, so that there's people there.
00:10:26.860 And they're saying that some of these are in the California area.
00:10:29.600 And what they're saying is, is that suddenly there's nobody out shopping at these places.
00:10:36.880 You can see this Home Depot.
00:10:38.040 It's the middle of the day.
00:10:40.080 Tanya and I, we went out to a sports restaurant last night to watch the victorious Eagles game.
00:10:46.800 And we, even they were telling us, thank you, thank you, got my green on.
00:10:52.380 And that they were saying that the kitchen staff didn't show up, so they were short-staffed.
00:11:00.280 And even some of the waitstaff didn't show up.
00:11:03.140 And it's all gotten me to thinking, and when we put this out as our question of the day,
00:11:06.760 it's 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
00:11:11.260 Have you experienced anything like this?
00:11:13.340 And if this is true, is it possible that they've been lying to us about the exact number of illegals in this country?
00:11:22.360 And so before we get to some of these emails that have come in, because it's been flooded,
00:11:26.060 I wanted to get your thoughts on that, PG.
00:11:28.800 Yeah, my husband and I have been saying for a few years that there's way more people here than they think.
00:11:34.640 I mean, I think L.A. County, L.A. City is about 50% Hispanic.
00:11:38.960 I think the white population of L.A. is down to something like 25%.
00:11:42.180 So, I mean, at least in terms of Los Angeles, legal or illegal, the great replacement,
00:11:47.440 not only is it real, but, like, it's over, you know?
00:11:49.620 But he would, my husband has a long commute, so he drives all around the city through downtown,
00:11:53.340 and he would come home and say, you know, just around MacArthur Park, Echo Park, downtown L.A.,
00:11:57.840 there's just dozens, crowds on every corner of these, like, you know, brand-new, you know,
00:12:03.180 South American immigrants, and they have huge tables where they're selling all of the goods that were looted from CVS.
00:12:09.260 You know, all the shampoo and the makeup, that's all, shaving cream, that's all for sale at these little illegal tables.
00:12:14.840 And there are, in the last year, taco stands, like, pop-up street taco stands on literally every corner,
00:12:21.320 up here in the San Gabriel Valley, all over L.A., and these are unlicensed.
00:12:25.480 I mean, you remember they were arresting kids who would start, like, a lemonade stand, right?
00:12:29.580 So these are now happening with no license everywhere.
00:12:32.620 So just on, just if you can believe your lying eyes, it is way more than they're reporting.
00:12:39.400 So here's some of the emails that we're getting in.
00:12:42.700 Just, again, anecdotal, but they're saying things like, hi, Human Events Team.
00:12:47.420 This is from Connor in Colorado.
00:12:48.600 He says, I'm in the Denver metro area.
00:12:50.720 Unfortunately, I haven't noticed the emptying out, but we want to see it soon, as well as Aurora play that the deportations reach MASH scale very soon.
00:13:00.240 Here's Brian.
00:13:01.000 My father-in-law does DoorDash in San Antonio for a few hours at night for some extra money.
00:13:06.360 He noticed the immigration crackdown immediately.
00:13:08.740 He said there's far less competition in DoorDash all of a sudden.
00:13:12.440 His income per hour from DoorDash has skyrocketed.
00:13:16.900 He made the same amount in two hours the past week what it used to take four or five hours just a few days ago.
00:13:23.860 It's amazing to hear, but wouldn't you need to have work authorization to drive for DoorDash?
00:13:28.740 I'm guessing they use someone else's or have fraudulent papers.
00:13:32.160 Hearing that from in addition to him and the viral videos that the real number is much higher.
00:13:39.020 Let's see.
00:13:39.980 This is from G.
00:13:42.720 G., she says, Saturday, my husband, who is from Mexico, and her granddaughter went to a flea market, so a Hispanic flea market northeast of Atlanta.
00:13:54.060 Normally, it's quite crowded.
00:13:56.040 This time, it was empty.
00:13:58.020 Hardly anyone was there.
00:13:59.400 Some of the stalls weren't even open.
00:14:01.680 On our way home, we live in western North Carolina.
00:14:04.380 We pass through Gainesville, Georgia, and there was a crowd of people on the sidewalk with signs, mostly Mexican flags, chanting.
00:14:10.340 We saw an older man passing in the opposite direction, giving a thumbs down at the group.
00:14:15.300 Well, yeah, if you're going to fly a flag in the United States, there's only one flag that you should be flying.
00:14:20.860 Here's another guy.
00:14:21.800 West side of Clark in Houston goes to the HEB, nice middle-class part of town.
00:14:28.120 When I walk in, you usually have to go across to get your items.
00:14:32.360 By the way, that's a marketing trick that all supermarkets use.
00:14:34.860 They always put the milk and eggs as far away from the door as possible.
00:14:38.160 I try to explain that to people as much as I can, so you have to walk past all the stuff that they actually make money on.
00:14:43.920 In the past, there's usually customers in every aisle, and 90% are speaking Spanish.
00:14:48.940 Sometimes, I'm the only non-Hispanic there.
00:14:52.220 Since Trump has sworn in, I've been to the store twice, and it's a ghost town.
00:14:55.760 I can park right up front.
00:14:57.300 There's maybe five or six customers, and the cashiers suddenly seem like they're bored.
00:15:04.380 They're not doing anything.
00:15:05.180 And here's another one.
00:15:08.000 Here's another one.
00:15:08.900 I'm just going to cut through it.
00:15:10.360 Tim in Florida reports the same thing from a Walmart.
00:15:15.000 Jessica in western New York, who rides the Metro bus public transportation, says,
00:15:20.980 All buses have been packed all year, standing room only, with foreigners and children who don't speak English.
00:15:27.580 This past week, the buses have been nearly empty.
00:15:30.380 There were three people on my bus ride to work on Saturday morning, a bus with normally standing room only.
00:15:36.860 The supermarkets are empty.
00:15:38.380 The local shopping mall was empty, less than 25%.
00:15:41.180 This is Buffalo, New York, a place that we knew took a lot of migrant refugees.
00:15:47.720 And she's saying, I think that the numbers must be 10 to 100 times more.
00:15:52.280 Oh, my gosh.
00:15:52.940 And they just keep coming in.
00:15:54.380 Another one from Houston talking about the box stores.
00:15:56.960 Another one, someone says, so this one is from Molly in, I think, Virginia.
00:16:08.540 And she says it might be going on because it's the end of the month and welfare hasn't gone out yet.
00:16:14.600 Oh, boy.
00:16:15.060 So there's different theories.
00:16:18.980 But, yeah, a couple more minutes to the break.
00:16:21.360 But, P.T., let me just get your initial reaction to all that.
00:16:25.560 Yeah, so it reminds me of in 2006, way back when, there was some Bush-era immigration law or something that was being debated.
00:16:31.700 So the Hispanic activists in L.A. had this great idea.
00:16:36.140 They're going to have this big event called A Day Without a Mexican.
00:16:38.880 It was literally called A Day Without a Mexican in 2006.
00:16:42.460 I remember this.
00:16:43.320 Yeah, to show everyone how horrible life would be without all these wonderful, hardworking, illegal immigrants.
00:16:50.020 And so everyone was joking.
00:16:51.260 I remember this.
00:16:52.100 It was like a funny, it was almost like a meme.
00:16:54.520 Traffic was great that day.
00:16:56.220 You could get from downtown to the beach in, like, 25 minutes.
00:16:59.340 There was no traffic.
00:17:00.220 There was no crowds.
00:17:01.160 There was, like, no crime.
00:17:02.580 It was like this magical day in L.A.
00:17:04.160 People still reminisce about the day without an immigrant or whatever.
00:17:08.160 And, obviously, it's tug-in-cheek.
00:17:10.040 But this is what it reminds me of.
00:17:12.160 So we need to have a longer discussion about this because the implications are quite dire, I think.
00:17:21.740 And, yes, there's going to be some economic growing pains here.
00:17:26.480 There's going to be a reformation.
00:17:27.680 But, look, all I got to say is we really need to get to the bottom of this.
00:17:32.140 By the way, I just wanted to say that I have now officially been asked to not come back to Costco for the rest of the day.
00:17:38.740 The manager sent me an email saying that he's very upset that I was writing down the license plates of anybody who went in and bought Colombian coffee.
00:17:47.560 I'll be right back.
00:17:48.280 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:18:00.300 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live at Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C., the Imperial Capital.
00:18:07.780 Just got an email in, and I'm going to be thinking about this.
00:18:11.300 I'm going to be thinking about this all day.
00:18:13.740 Got an email in from a guy who says he has a family member who works DoorDash and that all of a sudden the competition is way down for DoorDash.
00:18:23.380 I think it was the Houston area and said the competition is way down, and suddenly the wages are – no, excuse me, San Antonio.
00:18:33.280 It was San Antonio area and said the wages are way up, and now it only takes about two hours to make what you used to be able to make in four to five hours.
00:18:44.680 Peachy, let's – devil's advocate, okay, thought experiment.
00:18:50.300 Let's say this is because there are people who are using DoorDash that are operating in the gig economy, and they're doing so as illegals, which, as we all know, it's very easy to use fraudulent papers to get signed in for that stuff.
00:19:03.380 Listen, if you've used an Uber in D.C., and I know you were in D.C. for the inauguration.
00:19:07.080 I got to see you for a brief second at the Coronation Ball that it's true.
00:19:13.820 Ooh, there's so many illegals here, and the minute that they start going away, look at that, boom, people's wages are going up directly.
00:19:22.600 That's a direct result.
00:19:25.540 Yeah, and these are jobs that Americans will in fact do.
00:19:28.940 A lot of these gig workers are American citizens.
00:19:32.060 So if there is suddenly less competition and they're making more money, like, that seems like a pretty good deal.
00:19:39.960 I mean, it's what this is all about, right?
00:19:43.020 So we've realized that for far too long that illegal immigration, and in the same way that H-1Bs and H-2Bs are basically corporate welfare, that illegal immigration is also a form of corporate welfare for small businesses, for medium businesses, even some large businesses, because they know who they're hiring and they don't care because they're able to do that at the expense of government workers.
00:20:09.020 And yes, you know what? Maybe I'll have to pay 10% more. I don't care. Maybe I'll have to pay 15% more. Maybe I won't be able to get all the avocados and the, you know, what was it, the flowers in Colombia?
00:20:21.640 They say, oh, the flowers, all your flowers come from Colombia. I was like, we can't grow flowers in America? Like, what do you mean? This is ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous.
00:20:30.080 Why do we have to get those things from other countries to begin with?
00:20:33.020 Yeah, I mean, I just found out on Twitter, like yesterday, that actually California was where something like 50 or 60% of all the cut flowers are grown in this country.
00:20:45.460 All your Valentine's Day roses, you know, everything. And apparently, up near Monterey in sort of central California, which is the most beautiful part of California, and it's lush farmland, there are these abandoned flower farms where we used to grow all of these things ourselves.
00:20:59.120 I've been, like, totally lied to. My whole life is a lie. I thought these things were just all being grown in Colombia and shipped overnight, and that's why we were paying so much money.
00:21:08.140 I mean, it feels like it would be a lot cheaper to grow them here and pay American workers a tiny bit more rather than have, like, giant airplanes full of flowers coming in.
00:21:17.080 Like, that seems, it seems a lot more environmentally friendly, in fact, to grow them here.
00:21:21.380 And so I think we need to bring back the California flower farms immediately.
00:21:26.820 It's really as simple. And, you know, I noticed this because I do, so I do this thing with, with Tanya Tay, where I always call it random flowers, where I will go out and people, a lot of guys say, like, oh, you get in a fight by flowers.
00:21:41.420 No, no, I don't do that. No, I don't do that. Because we never get in fights, of course.
00:21:45.160 But, no, I say, just get your girl random flowers for no reason at all, because it's just a great move, and it keeps them on their toes, right?
00:21:57.080 Because they'll think, like, wait a minute, did he do something that he's trying to cover up for?
00:22:01.100 There's just something I don't know about, and it just, you know, it just keeps them confused, which is a good way you want to keep your woman.
00:22:05.780 And, but no, I'll do that. And I've noticed since doing that, that, you know, it'll say, you know, product of Colombia, product of Honduras, or whatever it is on the flowers.
00:22:17.600 And I'm like, really? Like, do we really need to go that far to be able to get some flowers? Is it that important?
00:22:25.480 I really don't think so. I would much rather be able to say, you know what, I got some flowers.
00:22:29.740 They were grown here in this country. They were grown, you know, and by the way, people love home whole foods.
00:22:36.040 They love farmer's markets. This is basically the same exact thing as that.
00:22:40.420 Right. Yeah, homegrown. I mean, California has these massive avocado orchards, and they were saying, you know, you're not going to have guacamole.
00:22:48.280 Aren't you going to miss your guacamole? And Anna Navarro, whatever her name is, and AOC worried about Valentine's Day.
00:22:54.420 Trump is going to ruin Valentine's Day. No more coffee and no more roses.
00:22:58.720 And I mean, okay, let's say there isn't anymore. Like, that seems like a small price to pay to reclaim our own economy and stop outsourcing it to, you know, half the rest of the world.
00:23:08.620 My son's place of business, the hardware store in Altadena, burned down. So he needs a job. He's a 17-year-old kid. He loved having a job, loved making money. He has no job right now.
00:23:18.520 I'm actually happy if he has a little less competition, you know, if he wants to go be like a bag boy at the supermarket now.
00:23:24.180 Like, why is this bad? Teenagers can't find jobs in the summer now because the illegals take all the, like, low-paid, menial jobs.
00:23:31.840 I hope this summer teenage Americans can actually have, like, their choice of, like, fun summer jobs.
00:23:37.180 I mean, that would be an incredible benefit. Kids need to, like, work.
00:23:40.060 Well, and this is, it gets into the great Panda Express debate that was raging last week where people were saying, oh, you know, there's lots of jobs in this country.
00:23:49.400 Go work at Panda Express. And it's like, okay, like, I'm not going to say, if you want to be a franchisee, go ahead and do that.
00:23:55.800 I don't think that's a great business model. Some people love it.
00:23:58.860 But it's like, look, you get just locked into that store. If the store literally becomes your entire life.
00:24:03.940 But at the same time, for a teenager, for, like, a 14-year-old or something, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:24:12.260 Go do that for a couple summers. Do that for a couple years. Learn how to manage your time. Learn how to manage your effort.
00:24:18.160 And by the way, get actual money in your pocket.
00:24:21.680 I'm not just going to be handing stuff out to my kids. Everybody should have to have that rite of passage of having just one of those menial jobs.
00:24:30.320 And by the way, this is something where psychologists have gone into it.
00:24:34.940 Eric Hoffer, the great writer of True Believer, actually says that for people who don't go through one of these meaningful rites of passage,
00:24:43.640 like people who grew up either too affluent or just spoiled from their parents in general who don't go through that rite of passage,
00:24:49.740 they actually get really, really screwed up as they get older.
00:24:54.840 Yeah. Teenage. I mean, at 14, I was, like, working fast food. I worked at little stores.
00:24:59.980 Like, that was just what you did in the summertime or, like, after school.
00:25:02.300 P.T., did you work at McDonald's? Did you work at McDonald's?
00:25:05.640 I did not work at McDonald's, okay? That was, like, I couldn't go that far.
00:25:09.940 Is that what you're saying right now? Because we will check. We will check.
00:25:14.080 I never put on the Golden Arches outfit. I swear, I did not.
00:25:18.200 But we all did it. There was no shame in your game.
00:25:21.200 It was just like, hey, I got all this money. I don't care.
00:25:23.260 And I'll get, like, free food, too. It's great.
00:25:25.040 And I worked at the frozen yogurt store. You know, I did all these jobs.
00:25:28.540 And kids need to do that now.
00:25:30.680 But now it's so rare to see a teenage worker at any store in the summer, any fast food.
00:25:36.640 It's almost, you see, like, a 35-year-old Hispanic lady, you know,
00:25:40.660 or that's who's working these jobs.
00:25:42.920 But, like I said, these kids need to have summer jobs.
00:25:47.140 They need to, like, kind of, you know, put the TikTok away for a few hours
00:25:49.900 and, like, learn what it is like to punch in and do all of that.
00:25:54.200 And, like I said, my son loved his job.
00:25:56.940 He was, like, working the hardware store and, like, showing people where the, like,
00:26:00.480 different, you know, tools were.
00:26:02.200 And he was learning so much.
00:26:03.500 And all his employees now are actually unemployed.
00:26:06.100 So these hardware store guys, they need jobs.
00:26:09.160 My whole town burned down.
00:26:10.240 And so these people, Americans of every race, Americans, need jobs.
00:26:15.600 And it actually is, gives me hope that maybe there'll be a little less competition.
00:26:21.120 No, I think it's exactly right.
00:26:22.740 Because at the end of the day, it is creating perverse incentives.
00:26:26.220 It is welfare for the ownership class in America.
00:26:31.940 That's what these systems are.
00:26:33.680 That's what illegal immigration has always been.
00:26:35.420 That's H-1B.
00:26:36.260 That's H-2B.
00:26:37.140 It is welfare for them.
00:26:38.720 And if we start framing it that way, that this is welfare for you, which is at the detriment
00:26:44.240 of the American worker, now suddenly people are like, oh, wait a minute.
00:26:48.240 Is this a hell?
00:26:49.460 Is this, you know, is that free market?
00:26:51.140 Is a welfare program for corporations free market?
00:26:55.840 Is that part of the free market system, libertarians?
00:26:58.800 Is that part of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman?
00:27:02.360 Is that something that they were for?
00:27:03.420 No, of course not.
00:27:04.840 It is theft.
00:27:05.880 It is a form of theft.
00:27:07.420 It's theft from you, it's theft from your neighbors, it's theft from your neighbor's
00:27:10.780 kids and everyone else.
00:27:12.120 And you know what?
00:27:12.740 What it hurts is it hurts communities the same way, by the way, that maybe not as drastically,
00:27:18.840 but it hurts them just like your community being burnt down.
00:27:23.600 Yeah.
00:27:23.820 And one thing I need to get Tom Holman on are the Chinese safe houses in Orange County
00:27:29.000 filled with Chinese nationals who are giving birth to anchor babies.
00:27:33.880 And they come here, they fly here pregnant, they have the baby, they live in a house of
00:27:38.100 like 20, 30 women, they have their, and they have their anchor babies.
00:27:41.800 And this is happening all over Orange County.
00:27:44.420 There are houses filled with these women.
00:27:47.080 And I don't know why they get sanctuary.
00:27:49.660 Why is this allowed?
00:27:50.680 And I, anyway, I'm hoping there'll be in some raids on there.
00:27:53.500 I'm hoping for a cop style show called ice.
00:27:56.700 I'm actually pitching this where we can just, you know, cameras can ride along as they bust
00:28:01.100 the pedophiles and the rapists and the predators and kick them out of the country.
00:28:06.640 That would be a, that would be must see TV for me in my house.
00:28:09.720 I want it.
00:28:11.840 I'll do one further.
00:28:13.260 I want ice and I want it to be cop style, but I want not just to show 24 seven streaming
00:28:19.200 24 seven streaming channel.
00:28:21.920 Sometimes Tom shows up.
00:28:23.440 I can, I could lose the Dr. Phil, to be honest.
00:28:25.880 I'm not too interested in having Dr. Phil there, but that guy's got a really bad track record
00:28:30.140 and, and, and some of the, but, but, you know, we could get some hosts, Chris, Chris Hanson.
00:28:34.860 Let's get Chris Hanson back in there.
00:28:36.300 That guy, I mean, I, I, I love the whole idea of it.
00:28:39.360 It's fantastic.
00:28:40.260 And it shows people, this is what your government is doing.
00:28:43.140 We'll have to work on a theme song.
00:28:44.400 So peachy, you know, you, you've got, you've got some Hollywood experience, you know, we'll
00:28:48.260 have to get a really good theme song going.
00:28:50.020 It's gotta be catchy.
00:28:50.920 I don't know.
00:28:51.800 Maybe ice ice baby.
00:28:53.020 We'll get vanilla ice involved.
00:28:54.440 I don't know.
00:28:55.620 Stop, stop, collaborate and listen.
00:28:58.820 Perhaps.
00:28:59.360 Yeah.
00:28:59.720 We're going to bring it all back because look, we're focusing on the worst of the worst, but
00:29:04.240 it's, it's beyond just the, the direct, um, uh, obviously what Tom Holman is focusing
00:29:10.760 on are the violent criminals or people who've been involved in rape or child sex offenses.
00:29:17.380 But at the same time, what you and I have been discussing, these are community issues.
00:29:21.300 These are home issues.
00:29:23.080 These are economic issues, which actually affect all of us at scale.
00:29:27.920 That's why it's so important that these mass deportation numbers do actually reach mass
00:29:33.540 levels.
00:29:34.140 Peachy Keenan, where can people go to follow you and to get more information on everything
00:29:38.360 that you have going on in your whole program?
00:29:41.040 Uh, you can follow me on X at Keenan Peachy and my sub stack keenanpeachy.com.
00:29:47.160 And you can buy my book, which is behind me, which is on Amazon.
00:29:50.120 Make sure you go buy it.
00:29:51.180 Go check out being a domestic extremist, how you can live in the new America in a better,
00:30:00.060 healthier, and more productive way.
00:30:02.840 Folks.
00:30:03.160 We'll be right back.
00:30:04.040 Sticker mule is going to be joining us.
00:30:05.700 Anthony Constantino.
00:30:06.780 See you soon.
00:30:12.080 Jack, where's Jack?
00:30:14.660 Where's Jack?
00:30:16.780 Where is he?
00:30:18.100 Jack, I want to see you.
00:30:21.180 Great job, Jack.
00:30:23.220 Thank you.
00:30:24.000 What a job you do.
00:30:25.400 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:30:26.820 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys and these are the
00:30:31.260 guys who should be getting Pulisic.
00:30:34.480 All right, Jack Posobiec.
00:30:35.600 We're back live.
00:30:36.660 Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C.
00:30:39.220 I still can't get over that email that we got in.
00:30:44.040 It's fascinating to me.
00:30:46.700 This DoorDash employees are now reporting less competition and that they're seeing wages
00:30:53.840 rise as mass deportations begin to take effect.
00:30:57.960 I've tweeted out it's going viral.
00:31:00.160 This is just incredible.
00:31:02.360 I mean, this is what it really means to take your country back and actually do something
00:31:07.520 to help the people.
00:31:08.700 And so all of this stuff where people talk about how, oh, the illegals, you know, it's
00:31:13.660 not that bad.
00:31:14.380 It doesn't hurt the market that much.
00:31:15.640 And it's like, is that true?
00:31:17.300 Because in reality, these numbers aren't reflected because we don't know the true number of illegals
00:31:25.300 here.
00:31:25.760 And of course, they're working illegally.
00:31:27.880 So the papers aren't reflected in the market.
00:31:30.300 It's a complete nuts situation.
00:31:32.960 We got to get in here.
00:31:33.860 But I'm very excited to bring on our next guest, someone who certainly knows about business,
00:31:39.160 someone who knows what it's like to stick his neck out for something that he believes
00:31:42.860 in.
00:31:43.320 Ladies and gentlemen, the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Constantino, joins us for the first
00:31:49.020 time ever on Human Events Daily.
00:31:50.680 Anthony, how you doing, man?
00:31:53.780 Great to be here and happy to hear about the situation with DoorDash and wages rising.
00:31:57.580 I said a long time ago to my friends that thought a little differently to me.
00:32:00.620 I said, why are we?
00:32:01.260 We don't want to let all these people in here.
00:32:02.360 They're going to attack lower wage, lower income jobs.
00:32:04.880 And that's the worst thing we could possibly do.
00:32:06.700 We don't want to be attacking jobs like that.
00:32:08.160 So I'm happy to see DoorDash wages already rising.
00:32:11.000 It's a vindication that, once again, President Trump's doing the right thing.
00:32:14.460 I tell people, the Democrats' policy has become all bad.
00:32:17.040 It's not helping anybody other than their party.
00:32:19.040 They orient themselves for trying to pass legislation that benefits their party and
00:32:22.880 pass policies that benefit them politically, but they're hurting people.
00:32:25.780 And I'm glad to see what happened with DoorDash.
00:32:27.700 It's becoming more obvious every day that I'm right to think that way.
00:32:32.360 Well, let me ask you from a business perspective.
00:32:34.740 You're a CEO, a very successful company.
00:32:37.180 But from that perspective, have you seen in your industry this influx over the last couple
00:32:43.440 years of these illegal alien workforces?
00:32:46.060 I have a pretty sizable company, 1,200 people, about 1,000 people in the district where I'm
00:32:52.700 running for Congress, New York's 21st congressional district, which touches on the northern border.
00:32:57.420 So the border and illegal immigration is a big issue for me.
00:33:00.500 But I can tell you this.
00:33:01.520 I haven't seen it affecting my business.
00:33:03.620 You know, my business employs all American people.
00:33:06.040 And I haven't seen that happening to me.
00:33:07.860 I don't know where these people are and where they're going to work.
00:33:10.180 But the problem is, a lot of times, these people come and they cross the border illegally
00:33:13.620 and they can't get jobs in any term to turn to crime and violence.
00:33:17.620 And so a lot of times they come here and they can't get jobs.
00:33:19.980 And they look to get jobs and make money in inappropriate ways, illegal ways.
00:33:24.520 And they create crime and violence.
00:33:25.900 Maybe some of them even come here.
00:33:26.960 Even the ones that come with maybe good intentions, they turn to crime and violence
00:33:29.860 because they're not able to effectively get jobs.
00:33:32.660 And so it needs to stop.
00:33:33.640 All immigration needs to be legal.
00:33:35.720 My district covers the northern border.
00:33:37.780 I know the issue very well.
00:33:39.220 I can speak Spanish better in AOC.
00:33:41.540 And I've done interviews on this issue, both in English and in Spanish.
00:33:45.180 I can advocate for it in either language.
00:33:46.880 A lot of the Latino voters support President Trump.
00:33:49.480 And the numbers are growing because they know about government corruption better than anyone
00:33:52.800 in Central and South America.
00:33:54.160 So I can advocate for this issue better than anyone.
00:33:56.400 I know the issue better than just about anyone in my district.
00:33:58.600 It's a very important district because it covers most of the northern border where, believe it or not,
00:34:02.500 people are crossing illegally.
00:34:03.940 And sometimes they actually fly from Central and South America to Canada to cross illegally.
00:34:09.260 But they don't know about the cold weather.
00:34:10.720 These people in Central and South America, they don't know about cold weather.
00:34:13.500 They cross and they freeze to death and end up in people's backyards dead.
00:34:17.000 And this is a real thing I've been talking about.
00:34:19.460 And, you know, we're ending up with dead bodies in people's backyards because people cross illegally
00:34:23.760 and freeze to death or they cross and they bring terrorism and drugs and crime.
00:34:31.140 And so when you're talking about that, is that actually something you're seeing come across
00:34:34.740 on your side of the border?
00:34:35.820 So our side of the border, that's right in your district there.
00:34:40.140 Exactly.
00:34:40.760 No, right on my district, people tell me and I talk about all the time and they said no one
00:34:45.160 else is even talking about it.
00:34:46.080 I did an interview two days ago.
00:34:47.460 I said people are crossing the northern border from Canada.
00:34:50.640 They're coming in.
00:34:51.200 They don't know about the cold weather.
00:34:52.280 It's very cold up here right now.
00:34:53.820 They don't know about the cold weather.
00:34:55.060 They cross and they freeze to death and end up dead in people's backyards.
00:34:58.560 And people have to suffer the trauma of finding dead bodies in their backyards.
00:35:02.220 And I can tell you, there's probably one of the worst ways to go is probably to freeze
00:35:05.640 to death.
00:35:06.100 I've been outside for a little while.
00:35:07.900 Every now and then I go outside and I suffer the cold for a little while and it's
00:35:10.700 not pleasant to be out there for five minutes.
00:35:12.280 And I can't imagine what it'd be like freezing to death.
00:35:14.520 So I tell people the good thing about me is I'm going to take the moral high ground away
00:35:17.860 from the Democrats entirely on this issue.
00:35:19.900 The way to take power away from the Democrats is to educate their voters.
00:35:23.560 Many Democrat voters tragically think that they're on the side of good, but they're on
00:35:26.500 the side of bad because they're encouraging people to cross illegally and bring drugs and
00:35:30.680 crime.
00:35:31.300 But even the people they think they're helping, they're not helping because they're freezing
00:35:34.000 to death and they're ending up dead in people's backyards, frozen to death.
00:35:37.240 And that's probably the most cruel thing you can do to somebody.
00:35:39.460 And on the southern border, on the southern border, President Trump, it really caught my
00:35:43.660 attention eight years ago.
00:35:44.640 I remember he did this interview with a guy named Jake Tapper, who's a bit of a fraud.
00:35:48.100 And President Trump brought up the fact that many of the young girls that cross on the
00:35:51.620 southern border, they get raped in the process.
00:35:53.760 As many as 80 or 90 percent of women that cross the southern border, they get raped on
00:35:57.540 the journey.
00:35:58.000 President Trump brought it up.
00:35:59.460 Jake Tapper didn't know what he was talking about, but he ended up being entirely correct.
00:36:02.660 So I want the Democrat voters to know once I get into Congress, I'm going to make it known
00:36:06.320 the situation.
00:36:06.820 The Democrat politicians should know I'm going to educate their voters very quickly so I take
00:36:10.320 the moral high ground away from them.
00:36:11.640 They're causing people to cross the border and bring drugs and crime and terrorism.
00:36:14.700 But even the people they think they're helping, they're hurting because these immigrants, they
00:36:18.300 come and they freeze to death sometimes and they get raped and many of them die on the
00:36:21.800 way too.
00:36:22.240 So we're not helping anybody.
00:36:23.220 We're making the situation bad for everybody that needs to stop.
00:36:26.140 President Trump's going to stop it quickly and I want to help him stop it.
00:36:30.460 It's completely horrific.
00:36:32.360 And they have no idea what it's like up there in the northern part of New York State.
00:36:38.100 I'm from Pennsylvania originally, but I've been up to the Lake Placid area many, many
00:36:42.520 times up there.
00:36:43.760 I believe that's up in your district, right?
00:36:45.280 Lake Placid?
00:36:46.580 Correct.
00:36:47.380 Exactly.
00:36:47.960 Exactly.
00:36:48.500 That's right.
00:36:48.980 Correct.
00:36:49.360 So that's at least the final thing.
00:36:50.720 I have a unique ability.
00:36:52.100 Yeah.
00:36:52.540 Go ahead.
00:36:54.320 I have a unique ability to get Democrats on my side.
00:36:56.620 I put up the vote for Trump sign on top of my building.
00:36:58.960 It turned into a massive national story.
00:37:01.180 And the local journalist said to me, I never saw anything like this.
00:37:03.280 Anthony said, 90% of people support you.
00:37:05.620 I said, yes, because 90% of people support free speech.
00:37:08.480 And when the Democrats tried to take away my right to free speech by putting up my vote
00:37:12.700 for Trump sign, the people all rallied behind me.
00:37:14.940 Because even Democrat voters don't want to see free speech go away.
00:37:17.980 Some of them do, the fanatics that support the Democrat politicians.
00:37:20.580 But most people don't want to lose free speech.
00:37:22.900 And another thing most people don't like is when young girls get raped.
00:37:25.960 And so when I educate the voters that Democrats that encourage open borders are causing young
00:37:30.760 girls to get raped by the tens of thousands, I don't think they're going to want to support
00:37:33.640 that anymore either.
00:37:34.340 And when I tell them people are freezing to death on an order and border when they cross
00:37:37.540 illegally looking for a better life, I don't think they're going to want to support that
00:37:40.580 either because the Democrats are the ones that are causing people to freeze to death and show
00:37:44.880 up in people's backyards.
00:37:45.960 And they're causing lots and lots of young girls to get raped and some to die on the journey
00:37:49.980 as well.
00:37:50.500 I think once we educate the voters, they're going to stop supporting it.
00:37:53.300 They're going to join the side of the president that all immigration needs to be legal.
00:37:57.940 The border needs to be entirely secure, not just for the benefit of Americans, but we don't
00:38:02.340 want people coming over here and committing crime and hurting the American workers, but
00:38:06.140 also for the benefit of these people.
00:38:07.500 We're hurting these people.
00:38:08.300 They're getting raped and they're dying.
00:38:11.900 No, it's completely wrong.
00:38:14.020 And here you have a situation where, I mean, my gosh, you've got Lake Placid up in your
00:38:18.440 district, which is, I mean, that's, you're practically Canada at that far.
00:38:23.280 You're so far north.
00:38:24.520 People understand this.
00:38:25.360 You're practically in Canada.
00:38:26.900 You're within, like, you could smell the maple syrup.
00:38:29.020 You're so far north, all right, you know, and people are like, but, and then you're
00:38:33.380 still dealing with migrants from South America that have come all the way up.
00:38:37.860 It's completely ridiculous.
00:38:39.440 It's completely out of control.
00:38:40.940 I have no idea.
00:38:41.920 I still think it's going to take us a while to really reconcile and come to terms with
00:38:47.680 the scope of what Joe Biden and his misadministration were actually doing to this country.
00:38:53.360 I actually think, and I've been starting to think about this as I'm looking at over the
00:38:57.120 last couple of days here, that I think the situation has actually worked at the worst
00:39:01.280 than we all realized, because now we actually have the ability to start to see these things
00:39:05.640 for what they are.
00:39:06.360 We're putting them under the microscope a little bit more, and we're realizing that
00:39:09.300 even as far as we thought it was, we had no idea how bad that it truly had gotten in
00:39:16.360 the United States.
00:39:17.140 One minute till the break, but we'll hold you over.
00:39:19.080 Anthony Constantino, to you.
00:39:22.740 I think you're totally right.
00:39:23.940 It's way worse than people ever thought.
00:39:26.100 Look at all those missing children President Trump found recently.
00:39:28.800 He found tens of thousands of missing children that were suffering because of Democrats.
00:39:33.060 And so there's a lot of suffering going on.
00:39:34.600 It's going to stop quickly.
00:39:35.800 And the good thing about the situation, the good thing about me is I'm going to help flip
00:39:38.460 the independents and the Democrats even to abandon this senselessness.
00:39:42.240 We're going to depower, take power away from the Democrat Party by educating their voters
00:39:45.500 that they're not supporting anything good.
00:39:46.920 What they're supporting is bad.
00:39:47.920 We need a secure border, a totally secure border.
00:39:50.060 Nobody's going to be better than me than working with the president to get it secured quickly.
00:39:52.880 And educating all voters that it's all bad.
00:39:55.520 There's nothing good that's coming from illegal immigration.
00:39:59.320 Look, and these things are not political.
00:40:03.040 It's not a partisan issue.
00:40:04.420 It's something that affects all Americans, whether you are from whatever part of the world
00:40:09.760 you are, whatever religion you are, whatever party you are.
00:40:11.940 Guess what?
00:40:12.560 This is an invasion.
00:40:14.120 We have been flooded.
00:40:15.400 We've been absolutely flooded.
00:40:16.960 And it's time to pull the plug.
00:40:19.440 We'll be right back.
00:40:22.880 Jack is a great guy.
00:40:29.580 He's written a fantastic book.
00:40:31.300 Everybody's talking about it.
00:40:32.560 Go get it.
00:40:33.660 And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
00:40:37.640 And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
00:40:40.740 Amen.
00:40:41.200 Unfortunately, while the people have done an incredible job of rebuilding this community,
00:40:48.020 they have not had a federal government that's really been on their side.
00:40:50.780 I've heard so many stories just in the last hour that I've been on the ground of federal
00:40:55.600 agencies that have not developed and employed the resources necessary.
00:40:59.720 Federal bureaucrats that have been a barrier as opposed to a facilitator of some of the federal
00:41:04.820 resources, and I think the country has decided collectively that we want to help the regions
00:41:09.500 of our country that were devastated by this flood.
00:41:11.900 So why are the bureaucrats not doing the American people's will and, frankly, holding
00:41:15.680 up some of the aid here?
00:41:17.080 There's been about $4 billion that have been earmarked for the state of Virginia.
00:41:21.400 Only about $47 million has actually been delivered or even promised to be delivered
00:41:26.480 to the state of Virginia.
00:41:27.400 So really what we're going to have to do where there are major gaps in flood insurance is
00:41:32.120 to ensure that the people's government is actually helping people rebuild and recover
00:41:36.260 after these terrible floods actually happen.
00:41:38.900 All right, there's J.D. Vance with Governor Glenn Youngkin, Damascus, Virginia, just a couple
00:41:43.960 of minutes ago, talking about how it's really been the bureaucrats that are standing in the
00:41:50.300 way of this money and this relief getting to the American people.
00:41:55.600 It's a complete joke.
00:41:57.080 I want to go to our guest now, Anthony Constantino, to get his reaction to J.D. Vance there.
00:42:04.560 Well, I'm happy President Trump picked J.D. Vance as the vice president.
00:42:09.060 He's a fighter, just like the president.
00:42:10.460 I think the president's the biggest fighter we've ever seen in this country, but I can
00:42:13.620 tell you I've only been in politics for a short amount of time, and it's one thing
00:42:17.200 we need across the board in America is more people that fight for what's right.
00:42:20.980 A lot of politicians, they get in this space, you call them bureaucrats or politicians,
00:42:24.560 they get in the space, and they don't like to fight.
00:42:25.820 They just want the job.
00:42:26.680 They don't like to fight.
00:42:27.500 But J.D. is a fighter.
00:42:28.680 The president's a fighter, and we need more people that are motivated in politics that
00:42:32.040 want to fight for what's right and do what's right.
00:42:33.860 People, some people don't like the word fight, but that's really what you have to do in politics.
00:42:36.700 You got to fight to get things done.
00:42:38.280 Sometimes in business, you got to fight to get things done.
00:42:40.300 You have situations like fires or floods.
00:42:42.660 You want fighters that move quickly and get things done, and J.D. is one of those people.
00:42:46.900 President Trump is probably the fastest mover and toughest fighter in the country.
00:42:50.900 I think even some of the actual fighters that get in the ring, they say President Trump's
00:42:54.520 tougher than they are.
00:42:55.560 So I'm a fighter, too.
00:42:57.340 We need more people like that in government.
00:42:59.560 We need more people fighting to get things done quickly and to do what's right and actually
00:43:02.900 care when things go badly.
00:43:05.160 That's exactly right.
00:43:05.920 Now, walk us through.
00:43:07.180 So Elise DeFionic was previously the representative there in the 21st District.
00:43:12.900 She, of course, is going up to be the United Nations representative for the United States.
00:43:18.220 So walk us through how your race is going to be working, given that it is a special.
00:43:25.060 Yeah, so it's a special election.
00:43:26.680 I need to be selected by the county chairs.
00:43:29.500 There's 15 county chairs, and it's an interesting situation for me because I didn't expect to
00:43:32.660 be here.
00:43:33.280 I just spoke up and immediately endorsed the president when he was shot, and I started fighting
00:43:36.620 for him leading up to his landslide re-election victory.
00:43:39.380 I did the sign.
00:43:39.960 I did everything I could, and then everybody saw the way I fight.
00:43:42.780 Everybody saw the way I conduct myself.
00:43:44.100 I was able to flip a lot of Democrats' independents to join the Trump side and vote for him.
00:43:48.220 We got an 11-point improvement in New York State because of, I think, people like myself,
00:43:51.800 but obviously because of President Trump more than anyone.
00:43:54.380 But people saw my talent.
00:43:56.180 They saw my drive, and they said, Anthony, we really want you in Congress, and everybody
00:43:59.240 started calling me and asking me to go for it.
00:44:00.860 So I decided to do it.
00:44:02.280 It's a little bit of a unique situation.
00:44:03.660 There's no primary.
00:44:04.680 It's just the Republican chairs have to pick me.
00:44:07.100 It's 15 chairs, and many of them liked me.
00:44:09.220 I met with one of the chairs yesterday, and I said, I really think I'm going to get it.
00:44:11.940 There's a simple reason why I'm going to get it.
00:44:14.020 I understand human nature very well, and most of these chairs, they want the state to go
00:44:18.000 in the right direction.
00:44:18.960 They know I'm the most capable of doing that.
00:44:21.000 I move very quickly.
00:44:21.860 I fight very hard, and I have tremendous resources, both financial and, more importantly,
00:44:27.220 I have human resources.
00:44:28.280 I know I have a great team.
00:44:29.600 I know very talented people that are going to help me build an incredible political
00:44:32.840 organization to move things in the right direction in New York State, and that's what
00:44:35.780 we need.
00:44:36.000 So I said, look, a lot of the chairs that want things to go in the right direction, they already
00:44:39.740 are supporting me.
00:44:40.440 And then maybe there's some that would like another person, because I've been around for
00:44:43.500 a short amount of time, and maybe they'd like somebody else, but they know that I already
00:44:46.800 put $2.6 million in my campaign account, and if they pick somebody that's a rhino or somebody
00:44:50.940 that supports policies that I think are going to be destructive or I don't think is going
00:44:54.480 to effectively advocate for the president, I'm going to take the seat in 2026, so they
00:44:58.020 might as well just give it to me now.
00:44:59.180 So people are smart.
00:45:00.420 The smart ones want me, and the ones that maybe aren't so smart, they're going to vote for
00:45:03.620 me too, because they don't want me to win it in 2026, and then I'll remember
00:45:06.440 that they didn't support me when they should have.
00:45:09.820 And now, when it comes down to the actual logistics of this, so the way it has to work, so Lisa
00:45:16.180 Fonick, she has not yet vacated.
00:45:17.960 Is that correct?
00:45:20.260 Correct.
00:45:20.720 So there has to be a conversation between Congresswoman Stefanick, President Trump, and
00:45:24.920 Speaker Johnson as to when she will vacate.
00:45:27.340 We're hearing different things.
00:45:28.400 And it's a fluid situation, but I think fluid situations favor people like myself that are
00:45:32.840 quick to act.
00:45:34.080 I was the first person to announce I was even interested in running.
00:45:36.860 The other people that are moving, I said, speed is an underappreciated skill and value
00:45:41.640 in the world of politics.
00:45:42.560 President Trump understands it very well.
00:45:44.080 He had the most productive day and the first day in office of any president that I've ever
00:45:48.500 seen, and he understands the importance of speed.
00:45:50.760 But some of the other people running, it took them weeks to even decide if they wanted to
00:45:53.900 run or not, because most politicians, they don't know how to move quickly, and they're
00:45:56.740 risk averse, and they have to talk to 20 different people before they make a decision.
00:46:00.160 But I made a quick decision and said, look, I have a great company.
00:46:03.180 It basically runs itself.
00:46:04.360 I live in the state.
00:46:05.060 I'm on the young side.
00:46:06.180 I want the state to go in the right direction.
00:46:07.820 I view it as absolutely imperative that it goes in the right direction for the benefit
00:46:11.100 of myself and my employees and the people I care about.
00:46:13.460 And so I moved very quickly to announce my candidacy.
00:46:17.260 And I think it's a fluid situation.
00:46:19.200 It favors people like me that know how to act and do things.
00:46:23.040 No, that's right.
00:46:23.840 And so this is a situation where, of course, Kathy Hochul would then have to call it at
00:46:27.760 some point in the next couple of months here.
00:46:29.540 I believe there's a three-month window that she would have to call it in.
00:46:33.940 And then, of course, that would be, as you say, that would be the extent of, that would
00:46:39.360 essentially be a full term because you're really looking at an election that just took
00:46:44.180 place.
00:46:44.580 And then 26 would be the next election there as it comes in.
00:46:48.360 Anthony Constantino, where can people go to get more information about yourself outside,
00:46:52.940 of course, of the business?
00:46:54.440 But when it comes to the race, where can they go to follow it?
00:46:56.860 And where can they follow you?
00:46:59.500 Well, if they're in the district, I would say they should go to the Glens Falls Cooling
00:47:02.840 Shoring Arena on February 7th.
00:47:04.280 I'm actually going to fill the largest venue in the district.
00:47:07.000 It's already almost sold out.
00:47:08.060 We're going to do first come, first serve.
00:47:09.780 We already have 6,000 people planning to come.
00:47:12.020 It's going to be the largest venue in the district.
00:47:14.000 I already sold it out.
00:47:14.760 No one's ever done that before.
00:47:16.220 I have a very short amount of time in politics.
00:47:17.900 And I'm on to my fourth massive event with 5,000 plus people.
00:47:21.020 So I don't think the Democrats want to run against somebody like me.
00:47:23.520 And I don't think any Republican wants to run against somebody like me.
00:47:26.140 And it's an event they don't give it to me and I have to primary them in 2026.
00:47:28.920 But aside from going there, I'll be joined by Roger Stone and Jorge Masvidal.
00:47:32.240 But aside from seeing me speak there, you can follow me on Facebook.
00:47:36.240 I have the hottest Facebook in the North country.
00:47:38.660 It's just look for Anthony Constantino.
00:47:40.160 I didn't even know how to use Facebook.
00:47:41.160 But now I have the most popular Facebook of any candidate running.
00:47:44.160 And so I don't think the Democrats want to run against me.
00:47:46.880 And I don't think anyone really wants to run against me.
00:47:48.900 I think I'm a very difficult person to beat.
00:47:50.820 I want to do what's right.
00:47:51.840 I have tremendous resources, tremendous talent.
00:47:53.760 And I'm excited to help move New York State in the right direction and support the president.
00:47:58.380 Anthony Constantino, God bless, man.
00:48:00.400 All right, February 7th, you get up there at Glen Falls.
00:48:02.800 Go and give it a shot.
00:48:04.840 Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay a short.
00:48:14.160 Go and give it a shot.
00:48:14.340 Go and give it a shot.
00:48:14.780 Go and give it a shot.
00:48:14.920 Amen.
00:48:15.340 Going to take a shot.
00:48:17.340 Go and give it a shot.
00:48:32.540 Feed it a shot.
00:48:32.900 Jump in the shot.
00:48:34.200 $1,550.
00:48:36.760 Go and give it a shot.
00:48:39.700 If it's done.
