Trump is back in town! President Trump signs a series of executive orders that could be seen as a game changer in the fight against illegal immigration. Also, the border crossings have dropped by 93% in the first 9 days of the Trump administration.
00:03:37.000I think a lot of Americans aren't aware of just how many tariffs and how awful they are in other countries and it's been going on for a very long time.
00:04:03.000We're also going to be telling you about John Oliver re-released, now to two million plays, his video, a Kamala campaign ad, decrying deportations.
00:04:12.000And it's funny, they think that it ages well.
00:06:42.000A lot of these protests, just so you know, I would be on their mailing list and, you know, we have people who've infiltrated almost all the major organizations here in this country.
00:06:49.000A lot of the initial protesters are paid.
00:06:51.000So back in the day, Fight for 15, that was a good example, was funded by the SEIU, and they would send out emails asking you go show up and protest.
00:06:59.000But then at a certain point, those emails stopped, and they would just send a picture of the protest, and every single person was a paid protester.
00:07:18.000This isn't jaywalking and trying to make people look silly.
00:07:21.000This is the majority of the people out there on the streets.
00:07:24.000So there were some actually in Dallas and we actually sent Lane the Brain here, Ginger Snap, to those who love him, down to see exactly what was going on.
00:07:33.000Do y'all have to get permits to do this or do you just do it?
00:08:31.000Would you say personally you identify, and I'll get out of your hair, but do you think you identify more with your Mexican cultural background or with American culture?
00:08:44.000Why do you think so many Latinos, especially Latino men, I feel like, honestly, especially nowadays, a lot of them get a bit cocky because they get legal.
00:09:15.000We don't want to let anyone in, just anybody in here. -That's where they're leaving. And they should be doing this with their government. Because the president will be, oh, yeah, we're going to raise this. I don't know if they raise the tariffs, this, and we're going to raise the price and everything. OK.
00:09:28.000But she has not once said, I'm going to raise the pay that I do for my labor work, you know? -So, like, we could go to Japan and just walk in and live there, and they would be fine with that?
00:09:38.000Or I could go to Colombia and just live there?
00:11:12.000And so he thought that this aged gracefully.
00:11:16.000And, of course, cannot be bothered to create new content because they take giant, long breaks with many, many, many tens of millions of dollars in budget.
00:15:15.000But that still leaves the task of removing 13 million people, many of whom, incidentally, have spread throughout the country and have lived here for decades.
00:15:22.000Also, deporting someone isn't as simple as finding them, not liking their paperwork and putting them on a plane.
00:15:27.000It usually requires an arrest, detention, legal processing, and only then, removal.
00:15:32.000And to carry out over 13 million arrests in a short period of time, it's been estimated the government will need to hire between 220 and 409,000 new government employees and law enforcement officers.
00:16:37.000They're really good at creating civilizations.
00:16:40.000And really bad at defending said civilizations because they try and introduce it to cultures and societies that have no interest in civilization.
00:16:49.000That's how these nations crumble, just to be clear.
00:16:53.000You can't bring people in who actively seek to destroy, in the UK specifically, when you're dealing with people who support Sharia law.
00:17:00.000Here, we just have people leaving countries that aren't all that good.
00:17:30.000That's significantly cheaper than the minimum $150 billion to potentially, most likely, $450 billion illegal aliens cost taxpayers every year.
00:17:41.000Assuming his argument is true, and it's feasible, we see it now, it's cost-effective, that's not true.
00:17:52.000Okay, first off, let's get rid of the 80,000 IRS agents, sorry, sorry, administrative people that are working in the offices, not going around hunting down conservatives under the last administration.
00:18:02.000Just put those people into that work, and you know what?
00:18:14.000As he says this, just picture him advocating for modernized slave labor.
00:18:21.000Let's say mass deportation were a realistic policy.
00:18:24.000It still wouldn't solve the problems the Trump campaign's claiming it would.
00:18:27.000In fact, it would make them worse, because...
00:18:29.000They're constantly claiming deportations are the solution to unemployment, housing prices and crimes.
00:18:34.000So let's take each of those in turn, starting with jobs.
00:18:38.000Historically, deportation has actually increased unemployment in this country.
00:18:42.000A study of the Obama years found that when 500,000 undocumented immigrant workers were forced out of the country, 44,000 fewer jobs were held by US-born workers, which may seem counterintuitive, but what's often happened is...
00:18:54.000Companies that rely on immigrants for their customer base or their workforce end up shutting down.
00:19:00.000And as immigrants themselves will tell you, they might be the only ones willing to do certain work.
00:19:07.000The thing is, if he wins, he kicks out all the immigrants.
00:19:10.000Those who work here in construction and everything, they're immigrants.
00:19:14.000You're not going to see a gringo filling his feet with cement or carrying bricks or carrying this or cleaning.
00:20:04.000And just to be clear, what he'll do is he'll list one reference, like an article in the New York Times right there, I believe it's the Immigration Council.
00:20:15.000There are other sources that exist that show that illegal immigrants reduce wages for low-skilled Americans specifically by up to 7.5%.
00:20:21.000They take jobs from Americans in sectors like food processing, manufacturing.
00:20:26.000And here's the really important fact to remember.
00:20:30.000If your government was looking out for you, right, they'll say, ah, you're talking about the Great Replacement Theory and try and label you racist.
00:20:58.000Hey, at what point does the government say, well, we should actually probably represent the people who are already here paying taxes into the system?
00:21:06.000Some would say that that's their first...
00:21:08.000It's their first, it's their primary goal.
00:21:10.000This is advocating for modern slave labor on behalf of, at the same time that that happened, the greatest wealth transfer in history, right?
00:21:18.000The top 10 wealthiest people in the world, what do they see their net worth grow by?
00:21:21.000Many trillions, several trillion dollars?
00:21:24.000Yeah, why don't you think if there's 4 million foreign-born workers coming in and doing, apparently, exclusively agricultural jobs, that our groceries would be cheaper?
00:21:32.000But hey, and I don't know if you're saying, hey, they deserve good-paying jobs, in which case, Americans would do them, or you're saying, They should be paid under the table pennies on the dollar, in which case you're advocating for indentured servitude.
00:22:04.000Because the Trump campaign is promising mass deportation will also fix our housing crisis.
00:22:08.000This is simple supply and demand, my friends.
00:22:11.000We've got to do two things to lower the price of housing.
00:22:14.000Two things to lower the price of housing for Nevadans is we've got to build more houses and we've got to deport the illegal aliens so that American homes go to American citizens.
00:22:25.000OK, even if that wasn't total bullshit, J.D. Vance's very existence is proof that supply and demand doesn't always work.
00:22:32.000Mass deportation would remove one and a half million workers from the construction workforce, including more than one in three roofers, ceiling tilers, stucco masons, plasterers and drywall installers.
00:22:43.000In fact, one professor who studies immigration says that in the long run, immigrants are the solution.
00:24:19.000And that demand problem is exacerbated when you have a huge number of people, at least in the millions who are here, who are paid well, and don't pay taxes.
00:25:17.000You're using a number that includes legal immigrants, who, by the way, yeah, they lose their green card, they lose their work visa if they commit a crime, so of course they're going to straighten up the class.
00:29:41.000The theme here is the United States has been getting the short end of the stick on a lot of deals, and the only reason for that is because the world thinks, ah, they can afford it.
00:29:49.000Only now, we are saying, no, we can't.
00:31:04.000Anyways, there was an exemption on shipping from China, so packages under $800 would avoid tariffs, and that means that tariffs would be charged on products from companies like Timu, like Shine, like Alibaba.
00:31:15.000Last year, the United States imported $48 billion under the exemption, and yeah, it seems like now what's going to happen is, hey, let's start playing ball.
00:31:25.000It goes around, and they don't have to pay the taxes on it.
00:31:27.000They don't have the tariffs or the duties to it.
00:31:29.000And they also said, it's like, hey, we don't inspect all of those packages, so yes, drugs and other cheap knockoff goods come to the United States.
00:31:36.000So all of a sudden, this company, Temu especially, is going to get screwed by this.
00:31:39.000And domestic people who are doing this process, there's a lot of e-commerce stores out there.
00:33:37.000At a point in time, well, now you're starting to see them.
00:33:39.000So this weekend, Donald Trump said that the United States, you know this, was going to hit Canada, Mexico, China, and he even mentioned potentially the UK with a series of, some would say, not even necessarily equal, but for the first time, tariffs.
00:33:53.000Canada's been very tough on oil, on energy.
00:33:56.000They don't allow our farm products in, essentially.
00:33:59.000They don't allow a lot of things in, and we allow everything to come in.
00:36:01.000Stop illegal immigration, drug trafficking at your own border, and stop, for example, the outflow of fentanyl that has been killing record number of Americans.
00:36:11.000So these tariffs are really just based on, hey, look, Canada, you have the biggest border that we have with any country, of course, and, you know, Stephen Crowder has...
00:36:20.000I've crossed over to the United States and Canada accidentally and not known it when I lived there.
00:36:26.000I'd accidentally be like, what, I'm in upstate New York?
00:36:39.000And then, illegal aliens or terrorists, by the way, many of whom have come from Canada, they know that it's easy to get to Canada and easy to cross that border because Canada won't do their own job.
00:36:54.000You brag about socialized healthcare Canada.
00:36:56.000I know because I lived there for 16 years.
00:36:58.000The problem is you can only do that because you don't have to raise up a military to defend yourself and because you don't enforce your own border.
00:37:06.000Things, you know, that affect countries to the south.
00:37:39.000So, number one, Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent any drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.
00:38:19.000And basically, they've done what we asked them to do, which was not a lot.
00:38:23.000Number one was the only thing, really, that we're saying, like, hey, guys, with all this drug trafficking and stuff, if you could kind of secure your own border, that'd be kind of nice.
00:38:30.000We'd appreciate some of the help from your people not getting into our place with fentanyl.
00:38:34.000You know that call was incredibly uncomfortable because the president of Mexico had to keep appearances up, put on this strong feminist face, and then call and hear Donald Trump, not one more head on a godforsaken turtle!
00:40:37.000Also, something that was kind of surprising, disappointing, the opposition leader, the conservative there, Pierre Poilievre, condemned the tariffs.
00:40:44.000But I understand they have to look like they're looking out for their country and they have a leg to stand on.
00:40:51.000And that is why common sense conservatives condemn President Trump's massive, unjust, and unjustified tariffs, which will damage both American and Canadian economies.
00:41:01.000There is no justification whatsoever for these tariffs or this treatment.
00:41:51.000Do you have any idea what the United States would do to you?
00:41:54.000You should have been the 51st state for a couple of hundred years now.
00:41:57.000When you join with your neighbor's enemy to burn his stuff down, it's not a cool move, okay?
00:42:02.000Here, really quickly, by the way, I thought leftist argument was that when you put tariffs on, it actually penalizes your own citizens, right?
00:42:09.000That's been their entire argument this entire time, that U.S. citizens are going to be paying these tariffs that we're putting on other countries.
00:42:13.000If that's the case, why would Canada, in response to the United States trying to hurt their citizens, they say, Penalize their citizens by putting tariffs on American goods coming into Canada.
00:44:37.000I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico.
00:44:42.000It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican soldiers on the border separating Mexico and the United States.
00:45:03.000Pause the anticipated tariffs for a one-month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Small Hands Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Besant, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, a high-level representative of Mexico.
00:45:19.000I look forward to participating in those negotiations with President Scheinbaum as she is on her best behavior and we attempt to achieve a, quote, deal between our two countries.
00:48:49.000Their GDP, 3% of their GDP, it's the United States, significantly lower than the other countries, but still significantly more than our exports, 0.45% of our GDP. Let me give you just a general example.
00:49:03.000China, their tariffs on our goods are about 22%, 21 to 22%.
00:49:55.000Many people in the EU cannot get our cars.
00:49:58.000That's not even to include the additional taxes and tariffs because of international climate treaties that disproportionately harm our vehicles because no one in Europe can get one single V8. Now, maybe there is one V8, but the point remains, their cars are for pussyboys.
00:50:13.000At least Jaguar said they're not going to produce cars anymore for a little while.
00:50:16.000Well, after that ad, that's probably a good idea.
00:51:14.000So we've increased taxes directly on Americans while not applying any type of tariffs, levying any type of taxes against foreign nations that want to do us harm.
00:51:23.000Let's just say it evened out if your taxes got reduced by the number that we generate in tariffs.
00:51:39.000The other worldview is that the government exists to protect, preserve the culture that has created what allows you to be the American taxpayer.
00:52:54.000It doesn't make sense for the nation that develops, creates almost all global, a significant majority of medical innovation, both with prescriptions and with medical devices.
00:53:07.000When I was in Canada, they had more MRI machines in the entire state of Vermont than the entire country of Canada, which, for those who don't know, is larger than Vermont.
00:53:52.000They haven't been incentivized or held accountable to simply honor their words on the contracts, on the agreements that they have signed, and then they sign new taxes, tariffs, into law to try and collect.
00:55:02.000I think China responds if this becomes a bigger story and it starts to become a conversation about China because it's more of a power dynamic and losing face and things like that.
00:55:09.000And obviously, they could respond and say, hey, we're going to raise your tariffs as well.
00:55:13.000But with Mexico and Canada, these guys are going to fold, I think, very quickly because they're going to realize Trump is not playing around.
00:56:07.000And you can't have been a part of those campaigns protesting the gap and Nike and talking about human rights and talking about slave labor and sweatshops.
00:56:16.000And have a problem with a president asking these countries to start playing ball.
00:56:21.000Do you want to benefit from slave labor?
00:56:23.000Do you want to argue on behalf of the corporations who want to replace you with slave labor?
00:56:28.000Or do you understand that some changes need to be made?
00:57:51.000You just may not be used to, for the first time ever, saying, you know what, we're going to apply the same kind of trade rules.
00:57:56.000The United States is in the driver's seat, they have the leverage, and I would like to see our government continue to use it on your behalf.
00:58:03.000My prediction is that they start playing ball really quickly.
00:58:05.000They're not all going to be Colombia within 12 hours.
00:58:10.000But 12 days, considering the decades of a piping that we have taken, I'd say is still worth the squeeze.
