00:00:48.000Now, here's how the headline should actually have read.
00:00:51.000ICE agents arrest repeatedly convicted criminal for deportation at courthouse.
00:00:56.000The transgender woman in question has been deported six times before and voluntarily returned to Mexico one other time.
00:01:03.000Here is the rap sheet for the transgender woman from 2013.
00:01:06.000Assault, probation violence, domestic violence, false imprisonment of a minor.
00:01:11.000That information, which seems sort of important, is buried in the second-to-last paragraph of a 19-paragraph CBS News story.
00:01:18.000The Washington Post buried it in paragraph 10.
00:01:22.000The Huffington Post didn't mention it at all.
00:01:25.000All of the stories mentioned a comment from the county prosecutor, who said that ICE knew about the deportee's location because of an anonymous tip.
00:01:31.000The prosecutor suggested the tip came from the alleged domestic abuser, but then admitted she had no specific information that would lead her to that conclusion.
00:01:38.000There are provisions, by the way, in U.S.
00:01:39.000law that apparently prevent arrest of someone for immigration status based solely on reports from a domestic abuser.
00:01:44.000But you don't get the whole story from the media.
00:01:46.000Particularly not from their headlines.
00:01:48.000The crusade is now on to find victims of the supposedly Gestapo-esque Trump immigration enforcement policy.
00:01:54.000And the media won't let inconvenient facts like repeat criminality of the arrested stand in the way.
00:02:06.000Yeah, we're gonna get to the mailbag today.
00:02:07.000Everybody is very excited about all of it, but we'll get to that in just a second.
00:02:11.000First, we have to say thank you to our advertisers over at Zeal.
00:02:14.000So, if you are somebody who is desperately in need of a massage, and I am one of these people, I will admit, I get very stressed, and I require massages from time to time, Zeal is the place where you go to zeal.com, and you can get a massage at your house, they come to your house,
00:02:32.000They cater to you, and you can choose the kind of masseuse that you want, the type of massage.
00:02:40.000I tried out, actually, my mother-in-law came into town, and I was supposed to get the massage from Zeal, and instead, because I was a good son-in-law, I gave it to my mother-in-law.
00:02:47.000Our relationship has never been better.
00:03:40.000They're the first and leading same-day in-home massage company and I can vouch for their quality because, as I say, my mother-in-law has never been happy for having stolen a massage that was allotted to me.
00:05:30.000And he stands along Netanyahu and you can see the warmth.
00:05:32.000I mean, Netanyahu is so relieved that he doesn't have to deal with that jackass Obama anymore.
00:05:37.000I mean, Obama was the kind of guy who was making Netanyahu leave through the back door and getting all ticked off if Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of Congress and putting severe pressure on the Israelis at the very end of his tenure through not getting rid of, not vetoing bad UN resolutions.
00:05:50.000And so now Netanyahu comes to the White House and he's actually, the red carpet is rolled out for him and the event is really good.
00:07:02.000Giving terrorists a state is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea.
00:07:05.000And when you say we're making a peace deal, and the peace deal is going to be that at the end you get a state, you've already given up what you're negotiating.
00:07:18.000They know what the end point of this negotiation is, and they know that all the pressure is on Israel to concede things.
00:07:22.000Beyond that, the stupidity of Oslo was saying that the Palestinians have a right to an independent state.
00:07:28.000There is no such historic right for the Palestinians to have an independent state.
00:07:31.000That state was called Jordan historically.
00:07:34.000When they partitioned British Mandate Palestine, there were two states, right?
00:07:39.000Originally, there were really only two states, and it was Jordan and Israel, and that was it.
00:07:44.000And then they sliced off another, like, quasi-little state, and that was the so-called West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the Arabs rejected that deal.
00:07:51.000There's no history to having another, a second Palestinian state in the region.
00:07:58.000The idea that it was a foregone conclusion, the only way there was ever going to be peace was to put a terrorist group in charge of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
00:08:05.000When the Jews pulled out of the Gaza Strip, it immediately was turned into Hamasistan, which is an actual terror state.
00:08:10.000And, you know, the fact that everybody keeps glomming onto this two-state deal, this two-state solution, is really dumb.
00:08:16.000And it was really dumb for the Israelis to do it, because it was basically suggesting that the Jews were interlopers in the region.
00:08:21.000That the Jews had to make some sort of deal to give away the heart of what it means to be Jewish, really.
00:08:25.000I mean, Judea and Samaria are the heart of Biblical Israel.
00:08:28.000Giving away the heart of Biblical Israel to the Palestinian Arabs suggests that they have a primacy of historical claim that simply does not exist.
00:08:35.000Oslo is foolish for that reason, historically, morally.
00:08:40.000And finally, recognizing that after 25 years of failure seems like a pretty good approach.
00:08:46.000It seems like after doing this for two decades of silliness, maybe we should try something else.
00:08:50.000Now, there are a bunch of different things that could be done here.
00:08:52.000One could be just a continuation of status quo, which is you don't get to ship weapons in, you guys get to handle your own crap internally, and as long as there's no terrorism, we can have free flow of people in and out of Palestinian areas without granting independent statehood.
00:09:20.000But the United States actually helps out in the administration of Puerto Rico.
00:09:23.000And so suggesting that this is some sort of apartheid state, if they were to come to this sort of arrangement, is silly.
00:09:28.000There's also the Carolyn Glick solution, which would be a one-state solution, which is basically Israel annexes everything, and then Israel actually gives citizenship to the Palestinians, because guess what?
00:09:36.000There are six million Jews in the area.
00:09:37.000There are only like a million and a half Palestinians, and that's not the world's biggest deal.
00:09:43.000So there are plenty of solutions other than we have to give an independent state to a bunch of genocidal people who wish to wipe Jews off the map.
00:09:48.000It's always funny, they always talk about the Jews participating in some sort of ethnic cleansing effort by moving Palestinians.
00:09:54.000They never talk about the Palestinians forcibly moving Jews out of Palestine.
00:09:57.000How many Jews live in quote-unquote Palestine?
00:10:05.000So the idea that the ethnic cleansing is coming from the Jewish side is really quite spectacularly stupid.
00:10:10.000Getting rid of the idea that the Palestinians have to have their own state as a precondition for any negotiation is a good first step, because if you're actually going to have a negotiation, everything should be on the table, nothing should be off the table.
00:10:21.000The reason Netanyahu wants to bring in regional partners on the peace deal is because he knows that Jordan doesn't want the Palestinians, he knows Egypt doesn't want the Palestinians, he knows the Saudis don't want the Palestinians, he knows all of them oppose a Palestinian state.
00:10:40.000The reason they don't actually want that is because if there were a Palestinian state on the border of Jordan, it would immediately become a terror threat to Jordan itself.
00:10:46.000And the Egyptians don't want a Palestinian terror state on their border.
00:10:49.000They've been having all sorts of border trouble.
00:10:51.000The leader, al-Sisi, has been having all sorts of border trouble with with Gazastan, with Hamasistan in Gaza, because Egypt is in control of the Sinai Desert, which runs all the way up to the Gaza Strip.
00:11:02.000So none of these countries actually want there to be a Palestinian state.
00:11:06.000That's why Netanyahu is saying we should have a regional approach here.
00:11:08.000Listen, Netanyahu, okay, the Israeli government has an on-the-table, constant offer to the Jordanians that if the Jordanians want to take over all of the Palestinian territories, they can.
00:12:14.000As far as him mentioning the settlements, I think that he does so because the State Department and people around him tell him he has to mention the settlements so he looks even-handed.
00:12:22.000To say that the two-state solution is not a precondition to negotiations, and then to say settlements have to stop is really kind of silly because the only reasons for settlements to stop is the idea that you're eventually going to transfer all of the control over that territory.
00:12:34.000To this growing terror state, this Palestinian terror state, that's the only reason you wouldn't want Jews building additional bathrooms on the back of their houses, or building more settlements.
00:12:45.000Because the truth is, the Arabs in Palestine, the Arabs in the Palestinian areas, there is no Palestine, the Arabs in the Palestinian-controlled areas,
00:12:55.000I mean, realistically, they'd be thrilled if Israel would annex all the territory.
00:12:58.000There are constant polls showing that Israeli-Arabs, given the option to move to Palestinian territories or stay in Israel, they all want to stay in Israel.
00:13:05.000Because they have jobs, they're wealthy, they live free, and it turns out that the areas controlled by the Palestinians are kind of a crap hole because the administration there steals billions of dollars from their own people and takes all the foreign aid and puts it in their pocket.
00:13:16.000Netanyahu, obviously, is thrilled about all this.
00:13:18.000He says, look, we don't need a two-state solution that ends with a terrorist state.
00:13:22.000What does Abu Mazen mean by two states, okay?
00:13:54.000Otherwise, we'll get another failed state, another terrorist Islamist dictatorship that will not work for peace, but work to destroy us, but also destroy any hope for a peaceful future for our people.
00:14:10.000Okay, and all that Netanyahu says there is absolutely 100% true.
00:14:14.000So, you know, good for Trump for taking the blinders off with regard to this idiotic two-state solution nonsense.
00:14:20.000It's time to move beyond failed attempts of the past and time to talk about realistic solutions in that area.
00:14:26.000Realistic solutions will involve security, not peace.
00:14:29.000But the security that's going to be arranged is not going to be on the back of setting up a terrorist state in the heart of Israel.
