In this episode, Oren McInnes talks about the betrayal of the American people by the Republican Party on immigration reform, and why it's time to put your money where your mouth is and put your support behind your values.
00:01:10.240And we will take a bunch of your money so that you can pay for the defense of other countries while we watch an invasion occur across the southern border.
00:01:44.900I need to tell you about today's sponsor, New Founding Talent.
00:01:48.240Look, we all know that the job market is a disaster right now.
00:01:52.000Based people can't find good companies to work for.
00:01:55.500And good companies can't find anybody to get the job done.
00:01:59.340The competency crisis is very, very real.
00:02:02.420So how do we get these two incredibly important groups together?
00:02:06.140We need organizations like New Founding.
00:02:09.040New Founding has created a network of high-excellence professionals who are seeking to join grounded American businesses.
00:02:15.820These are individuals, often in elite organizations, who are ready for a team and a mission that supports their values instead of working against them.
00:02:24.240Aligned companies are already using this network to hire high-trust, exceptional individuals who can match the culture and mission of their teams.
00:02:32.280So if you're looking for better employees to build a better world, you need to go ahead and apply for access to the New Founding Talent Network at newfounding.com backslash talent.
00:02:42.560You'll get connected with candidates who will build your business.
00:02:50.320And guys, just to back that up, if you own a business, if you are a conservative or a right-winger who owns a business, it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
00:03:01.480Whether you use New Founding or something else, but you should use New Founding.
00:03:06.160Maybe you know some people in your own life who are conservative.
00:05:30.060We need to give American taxpayer money away to foreign countries for their defense, defend their borders, not ours, defend their borders.
00:05:37.840So $14 billion is supposed to go to Israel.
00:05:40.600And to be clear, both Republicans and Democrats want to spend that money no matter what.
00:05:46.740Mike Johnson has already said that this bill is an abomination and he doesn't want to pass it in the House.
00:05:52.160So that's the good news is that at least at least the House has said that this bill is ridiculous and they prefer not to pass it.
00:06:00.560But of course, Mike Johnson still wants to pass a clean bill of funding to Israel.
00:06:05.420And it was really funny because, you know, Thomas Massey, God bless him, said, I don't want to send American taxpayer money to anybody, any foreign nation, especially one that can defend itself.
00:06:17.400Look, we should not spend one more dime in Ukraine, not one single red cent in Ukraine.
00:06:23.460But at least in Ukraine, there's an argument that, OK, this is a nation that is much poorer and much less military advance than the nation.
00:06:36.560Russia is a nation with more with a larger military and and far more military funding, far more military technology and material.
00:06:47.340Right. At least there you could say, OK, well, we're spending that money to fight a much larger force, even though you're not like a lot of money is going to places like funding the the retirement of Ukrainian bureaucrats and not that we should spend the money to fight Russia, even if that was where all the money is going, which it isn't.
00:07:07.220However, at least you could make the logical argument that there is there's some, you know, there's no parity in force and that Ukraine needs the money.
00:07:16.780This is not the case with Israel. They have more than enough money.
00:07:20.580And, you know, by the way, you know, they have the right to defend their borders.
00:07:23.960You know, I a lot of people are going to have problems with what you're doing over there.
00:07:28.220It's just not my business. I don't it's not, you know, let let them defend themselves against terrorism if that's what they're going to do.
00:07:35.040They don't need our money for it. There's just no reason that a first world nation that is as rich as Israel needs the money that they need to persecute the war that they're doing right now.
00:07:47.640There's no reason for that, because the people they're fighting are like guys with AK-47s who have to shoot mortars out of sewer pipes.
00:07:56.440OK, like this is this is not something they like they can't afford this.
00:08:00.640So there's no reason to send this money to Israel other than that's that's just part of the global American empire.
00:08:07.480And that's that's what we do. Most important thing to Republicans is to make sure that I guess they get this money with or without border security.
00:08:15.300So that's that's what Mike Johnson wants to do. But on top of this, that in this bill, there's also another 10 billion to Gaza.
00:08:24.060So it's not just it's not just the money going to Ukraine is not just the money going to Israel.
00:08:29.440It's also going to go to Palestinians as well. And so this is just a fire hose of American taxpayer money sent to everybody around the world.
00:08:39.720What what are we supposed to get about from this? What's the deal in this? Oh, 20 billion dollars of funding for the United States border.
00:08:48.560Isn't that nice? Isn't that nice? We almost get as much money as Israel and Palestine in that.
00:08:56.480So kind of them that the American people might be able to get just a fraction of the money being sent to Ukraine, Israel and in Palestine at the moment.
00:09:06.920Isn't that just so nice of them that we might be able to have a little bit of that money to secure a border?
00:09:11.420But of course, that money is not going to secure a border, as you could probably guess, because they don't want to secure a border.
00:09:18.240The Democrats have no interest in securing a border. Joe Biden has no interest in securing a border.
00:09:22.320If Joe Biden wanted to secure a border, he could do it right now.
00:09:24.960He has all the laws he needs on the books.
00:09:26.680He has everything he needs to significantly reduce or stop the flow of immigration, illegal immigration into the United States, though hopefully at some point we stop the flow of legal immigration as well.
00:09:39.580But he has the power to do that right now.
00:10:08.260This is a complete betrayal of the American people by everybody involved, and they should really probably all be in jail, but instead they run our country.
00:10:18.880So let's go ahead and break down some of this, guys.
00:10:21.220I'm going to start with a thread from Chris Murphy about what he thinks is great in this bill.
00:10:28.280I'm going to read it because he's bragging about this.
00:10:30.560That's the best part about Chris Murphy's thread here.
00:10:33.260He is going to brag about all of the amazing things that he has included in this bill because he's a Democrat, and of course, he's proud of this bill.
00:10:44.180It gives him everything he could possibly want.
00:10:47.760Let me go ahead and show you this thread here.
00:10:50.300So he says, minutes ago, the text of the Bipartism and National Security Funding Bill was released.
00:10:55.760It funds Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian relief.
00:10:58.300Of course it does because that's the first thing we do before anything else is send more American taxpayer money over to foreign nations than we do to defend our own borders.
00:11:09.760The defense of Ukraine, the defense of Israel, you know, humanitarian efforts in Palestinian territory.
00:11:16.820These are all far more important than America's borders because the American government doesn't want to defend America's borders.
00:12:37.560You know, everyone gets to share in this problem, especially very liberal places like New York City get to enjoy the diversity that they love so much.
00:12:47.760And so, you know, this is now everywhere.
00:12:50.980And so it turns out, actually, this is really unpopular.
00:12:53.700It turns out that no one actually likes illegal immigration.
00:12:58.060No one likes mass immigration, period, into their area.
00:13:06.760And, of course, the Democrats are feeling that.
00:13:09.660You know, you've got Eric Adams in New York who's trying his best to pretend like his desire for a sanctuary city hasn't basically doomed his city to be just a terrible wasteland.
00:14:16.100And as Mark Hemingway pointed out on Twitter, and I think this is a really good point by him, it almost looks like this deal is designed primarily to handcuff Donald Trump rather than solve this problem.
00:14:28.280If Donald Trump manages to win and get into office, it looks a lot like this deal is designed mainly to keep him from taking effective action rather than solve the problem.
00:15:21.600And that's the reason they're putting stuff like this out.
00:15:24.160Because the longer they can keep the hope alive that there's a fix at this level, then the more they can keep people like Greg Abbott from taking direct action at the border.
00:15:34.820Now, Greg Abbott's not stopping every illegal immigrant from coming in, not even in Texas, right?
00:15:40.520But it's a step in the right direction.
00:15:42.480Much bigger step than anything that's happening in the Senate right now.
00:15:45.760But let's go ahead and get deeper in here.
00:15:47.720Again, this is Chris Murphy bragging about the changes that he's going to bring.
00:15:52.720First, he says, there'll be a quicker and fair asylum process.
00:18:19.640You come in on false claims of asylum.
00:18:21.880You can immediately start working in the United States legitimately.
00:18:24.700This means that there's nothing that red states that want to impose stricter restrictions on businesses that are hiring illegals could do because they would all suddenly become legal workers.
00:32:02.400Because, man, we really got to get that $14 billion to Israel.
00:32:05.880Like, that's literally the carrot being held out for the Republicans.
00:32:09.460Not anything that would help their voters.
00:32:11.240Not anything that would improve the United States.
00:32:13.920But that really is the thing in this insane clown world country that we now live in that is being used to try to drive this whole thing.
00:32:23.700Is money to Israel that motivates an entire half of the American political machine to make deals on behalf of the United States to open its borders and legalize its invasion.
00:32:35.980The House has said that they don't want to do this.
00:33:59.940But this is all the Republicans know how to do because participation in the process is the point, right?
00:34:07.160That for them, if you want to keep your legitimacy, if you're the GOP and you're fundraising off of people and you're pretending like you're a real political opposition, then you've got to pretend like the things you do matter.
00:34:18.640The legislative process is going to fix this problem, right?
00:34:21.360Of course, there is no legislative fix to this.
00:35:56.200We could certainly build a lot of wall for $20 billion.
00:36:00.360But of course, we're not going to do that because much of the funding that is supposed to go into the border security as part of this bill isn't even part of border security.
00:36:12.540There's $1.3 billion that goes to detention alternatives, which means ways to keep illegal immigrants from actually being restricted
00:36:23.620protected from invading the United States.
00:36:25.880So of the $20 billion, which is already a small portion of the money already going to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, even though that's already a small portion, that $20 billion is like way less.
00:36:41.020A quarter of what's going out of what's going out of the United States is being used to protect the border.
00:36:45.640But that's not even being used to protect the border because a billion of that dollar of that $20 billion is going to fund basically NGOs that aren't going to do this job and are going to find detention alternatives.
00:36:57.020And then there's another $2.3 billion that goes to the Refugee Resettlement Bureau.
00:37:07.100And so that's the part of the government that makes sure to get all of these people deep into the United States to basically colonize red areas so they can change the way that they vote.
00:37:19.220And so of this $20 billion that's already much smaller than the amount going to foreign countries to secure their borders, three of the $20 billion doesn't even go to any kind of border enforcement at all, period.
00:37:34.220And that's just on two line items, just on two issues, right?
00:37:39.040And so this is never going to get done at a legislative level.
00:37:44.080This is designed not to get done at a legislative level.
00:38:03.940Millions of people are coming across the border every year who shouldn't be.
00:38:08.300And they all know that the Democratic Party is the reason they're here.
00:38:11.520And they all know that the Democrat Party is who's going to hand out things to them.
00:38:16.260They all know that the Democratic Party is the one that's going to pander to them as minorities in the United States.
00:38:23.220Democrats have already been very clear that their strategy is to demographically transform the United States.
00:38:30.100So you can watch a super cut of many different people, including Joe Scarborough and MSNBC talking about how demographic, how demographics is destiny.
00:39:25.700I hear people, you know, good natured.
00:39:28.460Dan over at the Lotus Eaters was confused.
00:39:31.340He's like, look, I understand you don't want these guys in their country, but how does this impact your elections?
00:39:35.780Like, Dan, buddy, we've been through this before.
00:39:38.460These people are going to get amnestied.
00:39:39.880And even if they weren't, even if they didn't get amnestied, the voter initiatives that are being implemented by the Democrats, be it mail-in ballots or ID-less voting in a lot of places, you don't need a voter ID to vote, make it very easy to turn these people into legal voters.
00:39:59.040And on top of that, even if that doesn't work, even if all the election shenanigans used to manipulate and turn these people into legal voters don't work and amnesty doesn't come down the pipeline, these people's children will be legal voters because of how America's laws work.
00:40:19.200It's the best electoral strategy in democracy.
00:40:21.680If you can't win elections legitimacy, legitimately just import new voters, just to loot the voters that are already here, erase their loyalty to the United States and their impact on the United States by bringing in people who are entirely dependent on the Democratic Party.
00:40:38.500This is low and high versus middle, a classic strategy straight out of Bertrand to juvenile.
00:40:44.180What do you do if you are the sovereign, if you are the power, the state power, and you want to centralize power?
00:40:50.280Well, you need to get rid of that middle class.
00:40:53.040The middle class is the problem because they have ties to the country.
