00:02:47This is all hands on deck for these races.
00:02:50We're going to do it again and we're going to tell you how to get involved, folks, because this is all about grassroots action, action, action.
00:03:01We build, we find solutions, and we want to save this country.
00:03:05So let's start from the top left, John Sununu, Tyler Boyer.
00:03:08Yeah, and this is going to lead right into a conversation we're going to have later about people freaking out, particularly about how midterm they're looking.
00:03:16But there are probably four or five states that are going to determine everything, the whole shebang.
00:03:22And from the top, the state that we have worked in very diligently in New Hampshire, Johnson Nunu, is one of the only candidates that's moving a lot of the national dialogue to the right, which has been really fantastic.
00:03:52But the team that's there, I mean, our Granite Staters, the good people of New Hampshire are working their tails off right now to do something special.
00:04:19And New Hampshire has the decision to make Are they going to be represented by essentially the Massachusetts bold, or are they going to come out and be the free stater, you know, Granite State?
00:04:34Uh, live free or die mentality that New Hampshire has always been.
00:04:38Well, and listen so, for those listening in the audience that don't understand the intricacies of New Hampshire politics, it has more registered Republicans than Democrats.
00:04:48That typically depends or swings the state.
00:04:51They like to send Democrats to federal office, but on the state level, they've been electing Republicans, okay?
00:04:57And one of the trends that we're seeing is if we do have headwinds, you're seeing it sometimes more in red states.
00:05:03The blue states like Minnesota, Maine, New Hampshire could be.
00:05:07In this weird map of 2026, could be the opportunity to hold or even expand.
00:05:12If everything falls our way, guys, we could expand the Senate.
00:05:15I don't want that to be outside of the realm of possibility here, but it could be the blue states where we hold ground.
00:05:21Yeah, I mean, look, it's part of this whole idea that the left has bit off more than they can chew.
00:05:28I mean, they are trying to take the Senate, trying to take the House, trying to win in places that they abnormally win in, like Kansas, where they're trying to protect a governor there.
00:05:52But, you know, like you said, they keep winning on the federal side because they just pump tons and tons of money in for chasing votes and for convincing people that they're going to lose something at the federal level.
00:06:03So, I mean, our conversations right now that we're having on the ground with people are that people are kind of over the whole leftist kind of running the federal side of things.
00:06:14I mean, New Hampshire kind of, again, is a generically conservative state, always has been, and has three out of three federal office holders as Democrats.
00:06:26But there is this you brought up the idea that could be biting off more than they could chew.
00:06:31Is there a possibility that Democrats, now that they smell blood in Kansas, they smell blood in Ohio, they smell blood in all these states, that they're spreading their resources out a little bit too thin and they might be neglecting something like New Hampshire, where we're going all in?
00:07:21And so when you have a race like what's happening in Maine, it makes even more sense to go all in on New Hampshire because hopefully you can catch, again, our own kind of unwatched headwinds that are going in the right direction.0.95
00:07:38Now, that is all to say, this would be much better in a year like, again, 2022, where probably these things weren't taken advantage of.
00:07:50But I think if we can prove something, the conservative movement can band together and prove something this year, given the circumstances, given the fact that we hold the presidency and basically, again, that trifecta that's in DC, that's a big deal.
00:08:25So, what that graphic is Arizona, Iowa, and Michigan.
00:08:28And the reason why, with that, you have, I guess, Arizona, Iowa, and Michigan, you actually have three governor's races that are happening there.0.97
00:08:36In Michigan, you have the Senate race, which we know so well with El Said, the Jihadi commie who's running.0.87
00:08:45And so, that's a true test of, you know, is Michigan lost or not at the end of the day is that Senate race.0.98
00:08:51But down ballot, you have more per capita.
00:08:55I mean, there's three states that will ultimately.0.80
00:08:59Really decide probably what Congress is going to look like.
00:09:04Arizona, you've got two to three, you know, really you could consider three swing districts Jay Feely, Juan Siscomani, Jay Feely, Juan Siscomani, Eli Crane, Eli Crane.
00:09:13And then in Iowa, you've got three races with Zach Nunn, Marionette Miller Meeks, who won infamously by just a handful of votes in our first race.
00:09:25And then also Joe Mitchell, who is our guy, who's great, who's awesome.
00:10:15And if the movement was smart, you're going all in on those places.
00:10:19And then I always throw in, obviously, the Scott Perry's, which we got to keep Scott Perry, former chair of the Freedom Caucus, Derek Van Orden, which I think is, he's kind of the race to watch because I think what happens with Van Orden is going to tell us a lot about.
00:10:52We know exactly what it's going to be.1.00
00:10:54It's going to be people from far off countries who should not be in Britain.1.00
00:10:58They are now British nationals, probably get free housing, free everything else, brought into the country, and their only purpose is to try to blow up actual British people.1.00
00:11:25But the fact that they're not talking about their heritage, you know, we're assuming it's just like, you know, five white boys out of London.0.79
00:12:10So we have this graphic states where Republicans are hardest to reach in polls per echelon insights.
00:12:17Now, again, the context here, Blake and Tyler, Is that we have been told that we could have this upside down map where we win in Minnesota, Maine, maybe New Hampshire, blue states, but we lose ground more so proportionally in red states.
00:12:34But look at this most hidden Republican voters.
00:12:37So the hardest voters to poll are in Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Arizona.
00:12:43That is a huge chunk of the Musquatch states that you were just looking at Arizona, Juan Siscomani, Eli Crane, Jay Feely.
00:13:13And now we're told that the states where apparently we're losing the most ground or we're the most worried about, they're hard to reach for conservatives on the polling side.
00:13:35Yeah, I'm not sure how they identified this, but I think this is beyond in the echelon insights, is just in general, they have a difficult time getting a hold to even make that determination of who that individual could be.
00:13:49I mean, there's a number of different reasons why somebody might not answer a poll.
00:13:55Somebody who's less motivated, Blake, actually has more interest in answering a poll than somebody who is not.
00:14:02Like someone that wants to complain, that wants to be like the poll Karen, typically is overrepresented in polls instead of underrepresented, if that makes sense.
00:14:10So I actually think that that's even your point.
00:14:15If there is a lack of sentiment, they're typically that is overrepresented in some of these polls, which is actually another good thing.
00:14:23You're generic, just show up, cast a ballot type.
00:14:26Type Republican in this context is far more underrepresented in these specific states.
00:14:34And it's not just Arizona, Iowa, and Michigan, which are three of the most critical states for this election, specifically with midterms, but we're also Nevada's on there, New Hampshire's on there, Ohio is on there.
00:14:48So you look at this, you start going, okay, well, you know, there have been some other studies that have been done where people have made claims that potentially Republicans are.
00:14:59Underrepresented by five, six, seven points on some of these polls.
00:15:42This election at the end of the day is going to be who is more motivated, who can turn out more votes.
00:15:50The reality is that in 2018, you had a far more motivated Democrat base to show up to vote.
00:15:58All of their own polling, the Democrats' own polling, and they're easier to grab than our people, is showing that they're not interested, not motivated, and not showing up.
00:16:10Now, again, most of the primary elections did not show Republicans showing up in huge numbers.
00:17:09I mean, I think that resonates with the voter.
00:17:11I think it's tough sometimes to get voters aboard, but you have to remind them aggressively what the left actually does when they're in power, what they did.
00:17:22Quite recently, when they're in power, and really show people this is instantly coming back.
00:20:08Go to Selective Search.comslash California.
00:20:11And start building the future you deserve.
00:20:16Sean Davis joins us, the great Sean Davis, founder of The Federalist, CEO of The Federalist, and one of the best follows out there on X, formerly known as Twitter.
00:21:59For decades, the white man has been systematically discriminated against, locked out of jobs, just kind of thrown aside and told, maybe you should learn to code.
00:22:10And then now he's the butt of jokes and welfare queen ads.0.65
00:22:14If you look at immigrants coming into America, 70% of them are on welfare.0.99
00:22:19We all know exactly what a stereotypical welfare recipient looks like.0.73
00:22:44I don't want to flip out too much about it, just in the sense that we said we don't like that the left constantly is aggrieved about everything and that they decide, like, anything that is just.
00:22:56Literally, like any work of fiction can be a reason to suddenly flip out because you're punching down or not punching up the right way or punching at the wrong person.
00:23:05Because whether he's stereotypical or not, people like Brad do exist.
00:24:10No, the answer consensus ACS data for Arkansas shows black households have the highest SNAP participation rates at about 22%, versus 8% for white households.
00:24:21Medicaid coverage rates for ages 0 to 64 are also highest among black residents in nearly 40%, versus about 24.5% for white.
00:24:30And then it goes on about female headed households and cuts off.
00:24:33I mean, so to your point, Blake, it is.0.90
00:24:36Too high even for white households for my liking, actually.0.80
00:24:44Our belief on the right is that people should be judged as individuals and that also we shouldn't shy away from the fact that there are differences between groups.0.80
00:24:54So I guess bluntly, I don't get massively worked up because it wasn't actually attacking Brad as like typical white failure, white, It's just saying.0.90
00:25:36My in laws, they're like the nicest, most wonderful people on earth.
00:25:40Um, But there are a lot of people in that community who think the real problem in America right now and why socialism is becoming popular is because of brads.
00:25:50It's just a bunch of brads sitting around and they just need to lift themselves up by their bootstraps and that'll fix the problems.
00:25:57And it's just like a total wrong depiction of what the problems are in America.0.63
00:26:02We've had DEI for 20 years plus that has boxed white people out of the workforce, especially white men.0.64
00:26:10We've been importing tens of millions of people to replace them.1.00
00:26:15When that doesn't work, we will have idiotic wars where we ship them off to go fight for them.1.00
00:26:21And so you have a demographic here, which is white men.0.99
00:26:23It's like, wait a minute, I've done everything I was told to do and I was balked out of the economy.0.85
00:26:28And now you're making me the butt of the joke so that we can avoid talking about the real problem in America, which is that we have too many immigrants and we have too many people who aren't working.
00:26:37I just, it looked to me like Sarah Huckabee, who I think is awesome and has done amazing work, is maybe doing a little too much BoomerCon fan service in the construction of her ads.
00:26:49Criticized or made at fault because we noticed that she's doing exactly what she's doing.
00:26:53I guess what I would say is we're currently dealing with now a news cycle where a Republican candidate, where we're demoralizing people and making people unhappy about a Republican candidate over a policy, over an ad promoting a policy that we support that doesn't actually contain within it any lies, any racial defamation.
00:27:13Basically, we just decided to watch an ad and go, I feel aggrieved about the person they put in this ad.
00:27:20And That's what I've just seen the left do all the time.
00:27:22And it's like clearly a mentality that is dragging America down.
00:27:29I mean, the truth is, though, white men do get disproportionately stigmatized and satirized or whatever the word is because they're a safe target, right?
00:27:40And that is really annoying, actually, as somebody who appreciates the contribution of white men in this country.
00:27:46Another story here I want to show this is out of Rochester General Hospital in New York.0.73
00:28:50These are American residency programs.0.84
00:28:53The red bar is the red equals foreign resident doctors, gray are American doctors.0.71
00:28:59So, speaking of white men, Sean, it strikes me that.0.64
00:29:02In our popular culture, we have seen video after video, movie after movie, show after show, where you get this kindly, like, older white guy that's the doctor that comes in, tells you you're going to be healthy, tells you you got a problem, whatever.
00:29:16That's the picture you have in your head, right?
00:29:20The image that people have in their head is that if I'm going to get like a CAT scan or a PET scan, it's going to be some like Indian doctor that came in, got a residency.
00:29:33First of all, and I guess in a larger sense, should we be upset?
00:29:3650 seconds and we'll take it into the next segment.
00:29:38Yeah, so I think there's three things going on, especially in the medical industry.
00:29:42One, there is a shortage of doctors, not for the reason you would expect.
00:29:47It's because we're importing so many people who largely use emergency room care as their doctor that they're running out of capacity to deal with it.
00:29:54So because we've imported so many people, we've decided we need to import a bunch of doctors as well to handle it, which is a kind of madness of its own.1.00
00:30:02There's the issue that the H1Bs, especially those who don't go to real medical Schools.1.00
00:30:07And I'm sorry if you're going to medical school overseas, it's not a real medical school.1.00
00:30:16And then the third issue is that if you're here on an H 1B, it means you're basically indentured to that employer.
00:30:22And when your entire business, especially in these large hospital groups, is getting billing up, you know what?
00:30:27You might have some people who might be a little more ethically malleable and willing to do, I don't know, insurance and billing up codes to help the hospital out.
00:30:35And to me, those three things explain this.
00:31:07All are British nationals, said to be in their 20s.
00:31:09All right, so these are British nationals, Sean.
00:31:13I'm assuming that we can rest assured that they are, you know, Christian young men, probably, you know, absolutely European heritage and all that sort of thing.0.59
00:31:26Or maybe not, because they're not bringing up the nationality.
00:31:44What I find fascinating is that I guess if you misgender someone or send like a mean tweet or damage a migrant's raft, that will get you thrown into the clink, like a lickety split in Britain.
00:31:57But if you're plotting a terror attack near an Air Force base where America is conducting operations involved in an overseas war, we'll take you in, we'll give you a look over, and then we're going to bail you out.
00:32:29Yeah, I didn't realize they were already out on bail.
00:32:32That's shocking, actually, because this was apparently a potential mass terrorism attack against a UK base, but targeting American forces as well.
00:32:41So if I'm President Trump, I'm getting on the phone right now and I'm demanding a stiffer.
00:32:50Blake, you know, this brings up both the race issue but a national security concern when it comes to immigration.
00:32:58I mean, my thoughts here are that Trump actually should get involved, the State Department should get involved, the military should get involved, but probably nothing's going to happen.
00:33:29We're lucky that we share a border with a basically European civilization in Latin America.0.96
00:33:34So we get people who, whatever their problems, at least don't have a desire, this idea that they are conquering America on behalf of the Ummah to impose Islam.0.93
00:33:53Like we were mentioning, we have a bunch of immigrants who are on welfare.
00:33:56But in Britain, you can show up in four or five years, basically qualify for lifetime welfare for yourself and a huge network of family members that you bring in.1.00
00:34:07So Britain is even crazier than you might imagine in that they have just brought in people, instantly put them on welfare, and just sat around waiting for them to think of an idea like, let's try to blow up U.S. planes at an airbase, let's try to blow up a pub, let's try to blow up a concert, let's go behead some infidels.0.99
00:34:25Their police services are infiltrated by people sympathetic with this.
00:34:29It's absolutely deranged what that country has embraced.
00:34:33And yeah, we actually, it's time to start having conversations like can we have a normal, functional military relationship with countries that don't take seriously the idea that they are importing the enemy that we're supposedly fighting overseas?
00:35:11He's saying that the leftist crazy factor, that they want to open our borders, that they are embracing guys like El Sayed and Hassan Piker, that that is starting to freak people out.
00:35:21You look at the UK, the UK is somewhat like the ghost of Christmas future here.
00:35:26Tyler, when we talk about messaging, you're talking to these voters, you're doing polling on them, you're hearing what's working.
00:36:55It said that this caravan is about 600 large now.
00:36:59They call it the Fe y Esperanza caravan, faith and hope.
00:37:04And they're traveling north through Mexico in a caravan bound for the U.S. border, basically banking on the fact that Democrats are going to win in the midterms and they're going to have extra leverage to get in.
00:37:15Your final thoughts here, last minute, Sean Davis.
00:37:20You know, Democrats, they would be very happy right now to see us.0.98
00:37:23Dead, to see our homes dispossessed, to see our children trans, and to see all our money given to foreigners streaming across the border.0.98
00:37:31It's fascinating because we've heard all the arguments about how these poor foreigners, we have to give them sanctuary and refuge and asylum.0.99
00:37:38Well, if they're fleeing Honduras and they're just trying to get out of Honduras, the natural place to stop would be, I don't know, next to Honduras, not America.0.97
00:37:47You don't need to go all across Mexico unless you're actually coming here to take our money and take American opportunities for yourselves.
00:37:54I think it's a political miscalculation on their part because Democrats might control Congress in a year, but Donald Trump's still going to be president.0.99
00:38:01He's not going to put up with any of that crap.0.99
00:38:03Circling back to Britain, same thing there.0.99
00:38:05Syrians who are next to Syria have all gone home with that civil war over.1.00
00:38:09The ones who don't go home, all the ones we let into the West temporarily, they're all still here.1.00
00:38:26I had the honor of a lifetime to call Charlie a friend.
00:38:30And what I remember most wasn't just what people saw on stage, it was what was behind the scenes.
00:38:36That was an unwavering commitment to his faith, his love for his family, and his genuine desire to encourage others to live with courage and conviction.
00:38:46Charlie believed that following Christ wasn't something you compartmentalize, he didn't put it in a box, he lived it out loud.
00:38:52It shaped how he lived, how he served, how he treated people every single day.
00:38:57Charlie Kirk, American Martyr, captures that heart.
00:39:00This documentary isn't just simply about remembering Charlie.
00:39:03It's an invitation for each of us to ask what kind of legacy we're building and whether we're willing to stand firm in our own faith when it's tested.
00:39:11I hope that you'll watch it with your family and have those conversations together.
00:40:39It's truthful, but it's a little sarcastic truth ripped in there as well because they're so easy to trigger on the left with a little bit of truth, which is amazing to me that we've come to this point in our lives where we have half the white females between the ages of 20 and 45 think it's okay that men compete in women's sports and things like that.0.59
00:41:31When I moved out there in 1986 to pursue the actor's dream, I already started through my college years in the late 70s, early 80s, but I was already doing a lot of work.
00:42:13Maybe you get a little ribbing if you wanted to vote that way or wanted to vote this way, but you could still go on a set and not feel threatened in any way.
00:42:20And then I really think that I got to point to the Obama years.
00:42:25I think it started changing a little bit before that, but he accelerated it.
00:44:13When I was 18, I was able to finally vote.
00:44:15My parents were beside themselves because they grew up as Walter Mondale, Hubert Humphrey Democrats in the state of Minnesota, which, by the way, my old state of Minnesota is trying to turn into California to become the worst political state in the country, which is just so bizarre to me.
00:46:57And Fulton Sheen was in the same mold in that sense.
00:47:01He was preaching fiery sermons against communism, the godlessness of communism.
00:47:07And then you think about what we've done at TPUSA Faith.
00:47:09Charlie started TPUSA Faith because he wanted the church to get back into the public square.
00:47:16He believed we'd ceded that terrain to people that didn't share our values, that didn't share our vision for the future, didn't share our faith, and that it became a void.
00:48:15As patriots who love America and are willing to work tirelessly to make this country better, I believe that together we can make America great again.
00:49:51Well, what's interesting, you and I know that there's been a lot of debate on specific policies of his, how much, how did they last?
00:49:58But I think the most important value you get from Reagan, and the reason a lot of people remember him so fondly, is beyond just policies, it's that sense of national vibe that Reagan becomes president.
00:50:12Right at the start of the 80s, what is the previous 16 years in America?
00:50:16It's the years of Vietnam, it's the years of hippies wrecking college campuses, big urban riots, deindustrialization, people getting cleared out of cities because crime gets absolutely out of control.
00:50:29It's sort of you might call it proto wokeness, if you are America's first big woke spree, and it created this powerful sense of America in decline, that America was falling apart, was going off of the rails.
00:50:42You get all of this depressing stuff in the 60s and 70s that reflects that.
00:50:46And Reagan, one of the things that people remember most fondly is that he has this incredibly positive, sunny, and patriotic disposition.
00:50:56And that's why even him getting baptized in that scene, one thing that matters is that Reagan is a guy who's very, he's not necessarily, he's not like Charlie, where he can powerfully talk about the Bible as a doctrinaire Christian.
00:51:09But what he is is he's very pro Christianity as this binding national identity for us.
00:51:16And Reagan came out and said, It's morning in America.
00:51:53Brought down the wall and all those countries that under under the Russian rule, under the Soviet rule for 50, 60 years, all of a sudden could get back their own countries and vote for their own people.
00:52:04And um it's, you know, and he was charismatic.
00:52:20I'm always amazed that all the people that are for abortion have already been born and I thought that was just so brilliant to say something like that, just to go after these people and the idiocy of, once again, of what they do.
00:52:31So um, you know, when I voted for him, like I said, my parents couldn't believe I wouldn't vote for Carter.
00:52:54Go to Sorbostudios.com and you can see all the great movies we're doing.
00:52:58Because we're doing movies that Hollywood used to do One like Reagan, movies that have love and hope and faith and redemption and laughter, because Hollywood's not doing that.
00:53:11To Blake's point, all the things that Reagan took us out of, and yeah, you could quibble about the amnesty, you could quibble about the spending, of course, but Blake's point is apt that the big takeaway from Reagan is that a singular leader can change the psychology of a nation, the way it views itself, and to pull us out of this liberal malaise of this slow slide into socialism.
00:53:34The question is, Kevin, you were in Hollywood in the 80s.
00:53:37You witnessed Reagan firsthand, and you are still fighting for this country.
00:53:46It takes a long time to do it, but things are changing.
00:53:47It's even changing within Hollywood, which I think is pretty good.
00:53:50And they're not going to do it overnight, but they have reached out, and they're asking for scripts that have better messages in them.
00:53:57I mean, they seem to fall back in the same pattern of just doing a lot of CGI movies and moving to more AI movies now.
00:54:04To me, I call them actors' movies, and that's what I've been blessed to do with movies like God's Not Dead and Let There Be Light and Miracle in East Texas.
00:54:13I'm going to keep making movies that have a positive impact on people.
00:54:24They stop because of the faith and family movies I do.
00:54:27And to me, that is far more important to me than anything else I've been part of.
00:54:30So I've been very blessed to be able to do these kind of movies that have a positive impact on people.
00:54:35Yeah, and where it gives us the URL one more time, Kevin, where people can follow you, follow your work, Reagan, as well as the other projects you're working on.
00:54:49Like a third of it is on my wife's stuff, a third of it is my stuff, and the other third is both of our things together because we work a lot together.
00:54:55So there's a lot of great information on that.
00:54:57In fact, my wife and I are hosting a trip to Greece next year.
00:55:00I hope people sign up because we're going to walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul.
00:55:04And I do want to say one quick story when I first met Charlie.
00:55:56Before he ever stepped onto a debate stage or behind a microphone, Charlie understood something really important that if you want to lead, you first have to learn.
00:56:06Charlie believed that ideas shape character, conviction, and courage.
00:56:09That's why he spent years studying the classics, the American founding, and the Bible through Hillsdale College's.
00:56:15He would rave about these courses all the time.
00:56:18These free online courses are taught by Hillsdale College professors and draw from the same great books and enduring ideas studied on Hillsdale's campus.
00:56:27Hillsdale's newest free online course is the Iliad, where Professor Stephen Smith guides students through Homer's great epic of honor, courage, friendship, leadership, and the pursuit of true greatness.
00:56:38For nearly 3,000 years, the Iliad has shaped the Western imagination.
00:56:41It tells the story of Achilles as he confronts injustice, rage, grief, responsibility, and the terrible costs of war.
00:56:48But Homer's epic is more than a story of ancient battles.
00:56:51It raises enduring questions about courage, duty, leadership, sacrifice, and self command.
00:56:56Achilles is the greatest warrior among the Greeks, but Homer asks whether strength alone is enough to make a man truly great.
00:57:03In this new free online course, you'll follow Achilles through the defining trials of his life and discover why one of the greatest works of Western literature still speaks to the permanent questions of human life.
00:57:13Charlie understood that learning isn't just about gaining knowledge, it's about forming the mind and character needed to face the challenges of life with wisdom and courage.
00:57:22You can enroll today completely free and take this class or their 40 plus other free online courses.

00:58:01You took over the news cycle and social media.
00:58:04Over the like, I guess, end of last week, over the weekend, and it really is terrifying, right?
00:58:11So, you say California shadow welfare system for illegal immigrants, and I have some first hand experience that maybe I'll get a chance to share at some point.
00:58:18But tell us what your reporting uncovered.
00:58:21Well, we went undercover and spoke to welfare officers across Southern California.
00:58:26We found a large number of these programs where you can sign up without being a citizen, including those where you cannot be a citizen.
00:58:33And altogether, we know there's a minimum floor of about 11 billion dollars a year being spent.
00:58:39The state Medicaid program for illegal immigrants.
00:58:42If we combine all the sources together for a model family of five, which has two illegal immigrant adults, an illegal grandparent, and two U.S. born children, you're looking at cash and benefits of over $100,000 a year.
00:58:56So for $100,000, what are the major sources of that?
00:59:06So there's one program called the Cash Assistance Program for immigrants.
00:59:10It replaces SSI or disability for Elderly or disabled, non citizens, that's about $14,000 a year.
00:59:18Of course, medical is a substantial amount of that, but you also have the benefits that are claimed on behalf of the U.S. born children.
00:59:26We have also food stamps, we have Section 8, and even we have cell phone plans with free cell phones, free cell phone plans where you can sign up using a Mexican consular ID.
00:59:37Food stamps for people over 55 who are illegally are starting in October of next year, and the spending is only set to continue growing.
00:59:48I'm just, I'm looking at some of the facts in this, and I was doing a bit of math.
00:59:51You estimate in the article that they're spending more than $11 billion a year subsidizing illegal immigrants, at least.
01:00:20Anything else that's harder to track, the spending to do law enforcement for them, to provide education for their kids who probably need a lot more work.
01:00:27The amount of money that's funneled into this is truly staggering.
01:00:31It's astronomical and it's only going to continue growing as we expand these programs.
01:00:36Remember, like the cell phone plan that we're talking about, Governor Newsom decided to eliminate the social security number requirement.
01:00:43Naturally, what comes from that is anyone can go ahead and sign up, no matter whether they're here legally or not.
01:00:50And right now, we see more discussions about extending the right to vote, even.
01:00:55Santa Ana, which is one of the most populous cities in California, had a measure that was advancing, ultimately failed, that would have allowed illegal immigrants to vote not just in school board elections, but in all local elections.
01:01:06So, city council, mayor, that would be open to everyone.0.73
01:01:10That's, yeah, I mean, and this is a trend we're seeing across the board, and especially blue enclaves, where they are devaluing the citizenship of Americans, that they are diluting our voice and our share of the vote.0.63
01:01:25I have a personal experience with this.0.84
01:01:27I can actually give some meat to the bones here.
01:01:29You know, my wife and I, when we had our youngest child, we noticed at the hospital that there was a legal couple having kids there.
01:01:39We didn't know they were legal, but their kid came premature.
01:01:43I ended up running into this individual on the street, and out of a sense of compassion for my fellow man, I was trying to just care about them.
01:01:51I assumed they were hard pressed economically.
01:01:54My wife and I tried to offer to help them, and they informed us.
01:01:59That they were completely subsidized by the state, that everything was paid for, and that they were actually getting care for that kid.
01:02:07That kid was getting free health insurance.
01:02:09That kid was getting the entire hospital bill paid for.
01:02:13And he was like, Oh, yeah, there was somebody at the hospital there that filled out all the paperwork for us, and we got it all for free.
01:02:50So a family in California to get that $100,000 or so in benefits would have to make about $160,000 a year or more to buy these services for themselves in the private market.0.96
01:03:00And remember, Americans pay taxes, but a lot of people who are here illegally are working under the table.0.93
01:03:05They're not paying any taxes into a lot of what they earn.0.99
01:03:08And so if you have to make $160,000, but someone can come here, report zero income, and get everything paid for, that just doesn't seem fair.
01:03:15But to your point, though, on this hospital and emergency room situation, this is something happening all across the country because the federal government does reimburse for emergency and pregnancy related care for people here illegally.0.97
01:03:30That's such a valid and terrifying thought because we know.0.97
01:03:35For example, that illegal immigrants, new immigrants, whether they're legal or not, tend to overutilize the emergency room and emergency services.1.00
01:03:45And the federal government does reimburse for this.0.93
01:03:47I mean, do you guys have a plan for where you're going to investigate next?
01:03:53I mean, I can only imagine that if you extrapolate that across the 50 states, the bill that the federal government is fronted with has got to be enormous when we just consider that bill alone.
01:04:08I have that number elsewhere, but I have to say my focus is on California, and you'll have a great time seeing what we come out with next on this.
01:04:16It's just remarkable to read this, and you think about what a travesty it is.
01:04:20We know so many people who grew up in California, they left, they get depressed about it because California was basically paradise for the entire 20th century.
01:04:30And I think about the fact what's one of the biggest issues we have going right now?
01:04:41They want to go there where there's this big industry that's making a ton of people rich.0.95
01:04:45And no, California has messed itself up so badly that the middle class just can't stop leaving because it's become this sucker's game.
01:04:54California is a state for the very rich who don't need to worry about this and the very poor who are getting everything for free.0.88
01:05:01If you're a person who's trying to get by on $85,000, $100,000, even $250,000 a year, which we think of as a nice upper middle class income, You're just getting destroyed in California by every.
01:05:39It's definitely a K shaped economy here.1.00
01:05:42And people who are middle class, as you said, they are just leaving for other safes.0.99
01:05:46They're leaving for Arizona, they're leaving for Texas and Florida.0.94
01:05:49And it doesn't seem like that's going to change anytime soon.
01:05:53You have people who are completely post economic and people who are entirely reliant on the government.
01:05:57And that seems to be where things are heading.
01:05:59One of the funniest things, Andrew, this went viral the other day.
01:06:03This is a tweet all the way from December of last year, but it went viral recently.
01:06:07Ezra Klein, big thought leader on the left, he came up with this whole abundance thing, and he literally tweeted this verbatim back in December.
01:06:14President Trump often lies about Democrats giving health care to undocumented immigrants.
01:06:20In California, Gavin Newsom actually did it and defends it.
01:06:24President Trump lies that the left, the Democrats, are giving all this free stuff to illegals, except for the fact that they do it.
01:06:39Federal law generally prohibits states from using federal dollars to serve illegal aliens.
01:06:44To dodge those restrictions, California created parallel state and locally funded programs that allowed the state to extend benefits to illegal immigrants.
01:06:54Perhaps as a result, more than one in four California residents today is foreign born, which is, it should just boggle the mind to consider that.0.90
01:07:05The people of California elected these people to use their taxpayers to do this.0.96
01:07:11Or do you think that it's not and they just don't understand what's happening?
01:07:15I like to think of it as if you bring up each of these programs one by one to a California voter, I think they'll think each of them is a good idea, right?
01:07:22That people deserve health care, people deserve food.
01:07:26They want to vote for that and that's what they continue to support.
01:07:29But no one's really ever brought them the full cost.
01:07:32When you combine it all together, you now have a wraparound services.
01:07:36Plus cash available to people who simply show up here.
01:07:39And I think they have not seen those numbers, and this is why we wrote this piece.
01:07:45Because, I mean, you're talking Medicaid, you know, federal law prohibits states from using federal dollars to provide wraparound coverage to illegal immigrants.
01:07:54So California used a state funding bucket with its Medi Cal program to extend full scope coverage to illegal aliens.
01:08:02The expansion enrolled 1.7 million people.
01:08:43So we've gone from, you know, sort of shielding illegals from the Gestapo ICE to actually privileging them, benefiting them, preferring them.0.64
01:08:53What explain the, I guess, explain the rules and what do you think is behind this?
01:08:59I think people realize that they want to create these programs for people who are not citizens and they went around the federal prohibition by creating the state funded bucket of money for this.
01:09:11I want to bring this more into more concrete terms though.
01:09:13I think we need to look at some of the reporting we did a few months back where we found a homeless illegal immigrant who had come to San Francisco from Central America and received taxpayer funded breast implants to transition from being a man to being a woman.
01:09:36So they're funding this at the state level, they're creating special carve outs to get around federal bans.
01:09:43That said, is there any way that the Trump administration could pressure them on that?
01:09:50It just feels on some level that taking a bunch of taxpayer money to specifically redirect it to give to people who are illegally in the country and not supposed to be here, it's got to have some potential to be breaking some law, some policy.
01:10:07Could they get retribution and cut off the supply of some taxpayer funded program?
01:10:12Is there anything the administration can do besides complain about it?
01:10:16Right, I'll separate this into administrative and more congressional level actions.
01:10:20Administratively, CMS under Dr. Oz has been clawing back funds from California that it is illegally spending on people who are illegal immigrants.
01:10:29Number two is HUD under Secretary Turner is trying to amend the Section 8 program so that mixed status families, that is, families of people who are in this country illegally, are not able to get any Section 8 benefits at all, so that the people who are receiving Section 8 are people who are all eligible for the program.
01:10:49But when we look at the congressional side, of course, Congress has the ability to act in case any of these are thrown out by judges.
01:10:57We see judges try to stop the homelessness overhauls that the Trump administration is going for.
01:11:03Executive orders can all be overturned if Congress decides it wants to stop funding these programs that go to illegal immigrants.
01:11:10Yeah, you know what's interesting here is according to CalWORKS, an illegal parent, this is from your reporting, with a citizen child, so again, we go back to birthright citizenship, they get money for.0.50
01:11:23You get two children, you get money for two.1.00
01:11:26So you're essentially incentivizing illegal immigrants to have more and more anchor babies because they get more money.0.69
01:11:34So the knock on effects of when the Supreme Court blocks Trump's executive order stopping anchor babies or birthright citizenship, the knock on effects is that blue states like California will incentivize more U.S. born babies.0.56
01:12:11I mean, I'd like to know what our audience thinks.
01:12:14Send us your emails freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
01:12:18It just is so frustrating to me because this is just such a pristine example of the problem we've seen over and over again on.
01:12:26On criminal justice, on the trans issue, and here, which is you can go to a voter and say the left, they are taking money to directly fund it to illegals to give them free everything.
01:12:39They can get a free cell phone, they can get free breast implants, they can get free tuition.0.55
01:12:44They've made a program that is called Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants, and it is illegal to receive it if you are a U.S. citizen.
01:12:51They are changing laws so that you are less likely to be deported if you commit crimes.0.81
01:12:57They will Revoke your charges just to make sure a criminal can stay here.
01:13:01And a person will hear all of this and they will just not believe you because it is too loopy.
01:13:09And it's so infuriating that the left gets to this benefit of being so nuts that an ordinary person just decides not to believe the things they're doing every single day.
01:13:44And I think it's so important as somebody who used to live in that state, there is this feeling like you kind of can't get above a certain threshold because they're just going to tax you back down, right?
01:13:53Even if you have a good earnings year, they're going to tax you 13.3%.
01:13:57You're going to feel it, plus federal taxes, plus state and local.
01:14:00And it does keep you, it puts a ceiling on your ability to sort of get ahead in financial independence, which is not the American way.
01:14:08And this closing line, Kenneth, is so powerful.
