00:01:26.000 Blake is continuing to co-pilot.

00:01:28.000 Thank you, Blake, very much.

00:01:30.000 We were in Vegas last evening rallying the faithful and the patriotic to try to win Nevada.

00:01:36.000 It was a great event at the Nevada Policy Dinner, and thank you guys for supporting that and getting behind that.

00:01:43.000 I want to begin today with this incredible story, and I believe Kamala Harris is visiting the border at some time today.

00:01:51.000 Is that her first visit since... I think she's visited one other time.

00:01:55.000 She's got to have visited at least two other times, right?

00:01:58.000 Let me tell you what's going to happen.

00:02:00.000 Kamala Harris is just going to blame Donald Trump for blowing up the amnesty bill. 1.00

00:02:03.000 That's what's going to happen.

00:02:04.000 She's going to go down to the border. 1.00

00:02:05.000 We could have fixed this!

00:02:07.000 We have a bill!

00:02:10.000 And she'll do her whole hands in the air thing. 1.00

00:02:14.000 Sometimes side to side.

00:02:15.000 That's exactly right.

00:02:16.000 Sometimes like she's chopping lettuce.

00:02:17.000 This is her first time in three years.

00:02:19.000 So we will cover that.

00:02:20.000 But first I want to lead with this remarkable story from Vox.

00:02:24.000 It is noteworthy.

00:02:26.000 The Republican Party is less white than ever. 0.60

00:02:30.000 Thank Donald Trump.

00:02:31.000 This is how Donald Trump made inroads with voters of color ahead of the 2024 election.

00:02:35.000 Now, I'm going to go through this article piece by piece, and I can tell you, from my visits on college campuses, this is absolutely true.

00:02:45.000 It is more likely that I am able to predict somebody's politics based on their socioeconomic standing and their sex, more so than just their race.

00:02:57.000 That never used to be the case.

00:02:59.000 It used to be the case that if I were to run into somebody on campus or off campus, and they were Hispanic or if they were black, man or woman, it would be far more likely they'd be on the Democrat party than the Republican party.

00:03:10.000 The divides between race when it comes to politics, they're still there, but they're starting to deteriorate and erode.

00:03:18.000 Instead, the new divides of how people view themselves is What class am I in? Am I in the working class, the middle

00:03:26.000 class, the muscular class? Am I in the laptop class? Am I in the ruling class? And then secondly,

00:03:32.000 is that how you view the world right now and the political divide that is happening in the

00:03:40.000 country is a male-female divide.

00:03:43.000 Men view politics far differently than women do. 0.72

00:03:47.000 Now in this article they're trying to explain away how Donald Trump right now is able to win over Hispanics and blacks in a very significant way.

00:04:00.000 1.

00:04:00.000 effective campaigning on the economy.

00:04:02.000 Oh, he's misled people into believing the economy.

00:04:07.000 Let me read this here.

00:04:08.000 This is one of the most amazing lines here from this Vox article.

00:04:11.000 It says Trump claims to have presided over a time of broad and magnificent prosperity,

00:04:18.000 arguing that there was a Trump economic renaissance before Biden bungled it.

00:04:23.000 That pinch does not comport with reality, Vox says, but it may be resonating with voters

00:04:29.000 who disproportionately prioritize economic concerns in casting their votes, particularly

00:04:35.000 Latino and Asian Americans. 1.00

00:04:37.000 So basically what Vox.com is saying, people are stupid and they have really bad memories and Donald Trump says things were good and they believe it. 0.99

00:04:45.000 Don't they understand that bad economies during a Democrat president are because of the previous administration, and same goes for a good economy during a Republican president? 0.99

00:04:54.000 Yeah, anything that Trump was enjoying was because of Obama, and anything that Biden has to navigate is because of Trump.

00:04:59.000 But anything good for Biden is also because of Obama.

00:05:03.000 Of course.

00:05:04.000 It kind of just skips administration.

00:05:06.000 Again, let me just read this again.

00:05:08.000 That pitch doesn't comport with reality.

00:05:10.000 When Donald Trump was president, there was a blue-collar boom.

00:05:13.000 Those that were on the lowest income ladder saw their incomes go rise quicker than those at the higher income ladder.

00:05:20.000 We saw the lowest unemployment rate for black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, In order to buy a home when Trump was president, it required $75,000 a year annual income.

00:05:32.000 Now it's well over $125,000 a year.

00:05:37.000 That right there impacts blacks, Hispanics, and Asians regardless of other political identifications or affiliations.

00:05:45.000 Vox is trying to find an answer. 0.81

00:05:47.000 How is it that Donald Trump has broadened and deepened and, yes, diversified the Republican Party?

00:05:53.000 And I just want to press pause.

00:05:55.000 Blake, how many times over the last decade, 20 years, were there hundreds of millions of dollars spent by Washington D.C.

00:06:03.000 think tanks about how we need to try to get the Republican Party less white? 0.76

00:06:07.000 We're going to go and we're going to do it.

00:06:09.000 Amnesty and Opportunity Zones Charlie talk about that though. That's very important. It really was you'd see this

00:06:14.000 over and over I feel like I mean even this is before our time really but

00:06:18.000 like Jack Kemp when he was the vice-president He meant well a lot of these guys mean well, but it's very

00:06:24.000 much You know as you talk about in your book, there's always a

00:06:28.000 temptation especially with you know, the DC conservative class, to sort of accept the premises of the Democrats, of the left.

00:06:37.000 And so what you'd get a lot of is you'd basically have a lot of Republicans who are like, Republicans would resonate a lot with non-white voters, except they're like, we're too racist.

00:06:47.000 And so if we just show that we're not racist, that will make them like us more.

00:06:51.000 And just understand this belief system infected every major Republican institution.

00:06:56.000 Our think tanks, our consultants, our candidate trainings, our candidate class.

00:07:01.000 And so when I first entered the conservative movement in 2012...

00:07:03.000 2012, yeah. There was like the report they did after we...

00:07:07.000 Exactly what I was going to say.

00:07:08.000 It was by Reince Priebus.

00:07:09.000 It was the autopsy report.

00:07:11.000 And you actually can find it.

00:07:13.000 It's still on the internet.

00:07:13.000 It's worth looking at.

00:07:15.000 And the takeaway from this autopsy report after Romney lost was people think we're racist, so we have to moderate on immigration, moderate on our core principles, because the country is changing demographically and we have to go win over Hispanics to become basically amnesty-lite.

00:07:33.000 And this was a flawed premise from the beginning, and it was also bad math.

00:07:37.000 This is where, woo, Steve Saylor has been right for 20 years.

00:07:42.000 Boo.

00:07:42.000 Scary man.

00:07:44.000 Steve Saylor, 20 years ago, hypothesized, wait a second, in the battleground states and the electoral college, why don't Republicans talk more about class, and that would be a white working class strategy, than spending all this money trying to reconfigure a policy platform to become Democrat-like?

00:08:02.000 And the thing is, once you're appealing to the white working class, you appeal to other voters in the working class.

00:08:07.000 Well, bingo.

00:08:08.000 And that's what Saylor was right about, and what Trump was able to do.

00:08:11.000 And I hope you understand, you are living through a transformation.

00:08:15.000 You are living through this historic metamorphosis, thanks to Donald Trump, where the D.C.

00:08:21.000 political class... Understand, when the presidential race in 2015-2016 was happening, the way that we were supposed to talk about immigration was Jeb Bush.

00:08:32.000 It's an act of love.

00:08:36.000 If you break into America, we will give you amnesty because these people are the best types of people.

00:08:42.000 That's the way we were supposed to talk about immigration.

00:08:45.000 Basically become free market mass immigration defenders.

00:08:48.000 And this attitude could go all over the place.

00:08:51.000 The same people would say, the way that you win the black vote is like, well, we have to be, you know, really all in on police reform and decriminalizing.

00:08:59.000 And it's like, no guys, most black voters are not criminals and they do not like crime.

00:09:05.000 They suffer a lot from crime.

00:09:07.000 And I think a big reason Trump, we started this swing happen, we saw this happen a lot in 2020.

00:09:13.000 Exactly.

00:09:13.000 And a big reason is one, they didn't care nearly as much about being tough on immigration,

00:09:17.000 a lot of them supported it.

00:09:18.000 And then they saw Democrats embracing crime.

00:09:21.000 And it turns out there's a lot of voters who are like, wait, I want the party that wants

00:09:25.000 to be tough on crime.

00:09:27.000 Exactly.

00:09:28.000 And the ruling consensus in the Republican Party was we must moderate on the issues and

00:09:34.000 therefore we can win people over.

00:09:36.000 Donald Trump threw that out the window.

00:09:37.000 So wait a second.

00:09:38.000 No, we're going to become more based on these issues and we're going to broaden our appeal and our base.

00:09:43.000 And also by doing so, guess who wants strong immigration? 0.95

00:09:48.000 Most Hispanics do. 0.80

00:09:50.000 Again, some want amnesty, but also some are pretty ticked off that people can cut in line and come into the country.

00:09:55.000 And in fact, when I go to the campuses... Ryan, can you get that clip of that young man from Kansas State University that came up?

00:10:02.000 He said, my whole family came from Mexico legally.

00:10:04.000 It took us 10 years to get the paperwork.

00:10:06.000 And he says, when I see people break into America, it is disgusting, it's repulsive, and they should all be sent back to their country of origin. 1.00

00:10:12.000 Whoa.

00:10:13.000 And you have two Jeb Bushes kind of debating about mass amnesty.

00:10:18.000 You don't win those people over.

00:10:19.000 And so we're going to keep on going.

00:10:21.000 You'll never out amnesty the Democrats.

00:10:23.000 Exactly.

00:10:23.000 And that is the lesson on all of these when it comes to crime, when it comes to the border, when it comes to Second Amendment, when it comes to any of these issues is that you must stay principled and you can actually expand the base.

00:10:36.000 And Donald Trump, who has been called a racist more than any other person in public life of the last hundred years, maybe in American history, it has diversified the Republican Party more than any of the Bushes or the Kochs or the Romneys or the Roves.

00:10:51.000 They wanted it to happen.

00:10:52.000 They wanted the Republican Party to become browner and darker.

00:10:56.000 And instead, Donald Trump did it. 0.95

00:10:58.000 The man that they call a racist.

00:11:02.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:12:06.000 Vox.com is trying to figure out the puzzle of the 2024 election.

00:12:11.000 How is it that Donald Trump, the man that has been called a racist, a white supremacist, Hitler, and Nazi, has successfully made the Republican Party more diverse?

00:12:21.000 In fact, according to Newt Gingrich, black men are the most Republican they've been since 1956.

00:12:30.000 And that's because racial divides really don't mean as much as they used to.

00:12:34.000 Blake, isn't it ironic that despite the left's emphasis on racial politics and tribalism and sectarianism, race is actually being de-emphasized in political affiliation and other distinctions are mattering more?

00:12:47.000 Yeah, I mean, well, so where you'd see the strongest is, like, the Democrats have always been so dominant with black voters because, like, their rock-solid core was older black voters who, like, remember, you know, the 1960s and 70s.

00:12:59.000 Who would pass that down.

00:13:03.000 That era is passing out of memory, and you have younger people who will say, wait, you know, what have you done for me lately?

00:13:11.000 Why is my city a disaster?

00:13:12.000 Why has it been a disaster for decades?

00:13:15.000 And your only response, you're going to blame Republicans for why Detroit is a mess?

00:13:20.000 A Republican hasn't run Detroit since I'm not sure if a Republican's ever run Detroit, but probably not since Henry Ford was alive.

00:13:26.000 That's right.

00:13:27.000 And so you have younger voters and they pick up on these different things.

00:13:32.000 They're very, and it's also like, you know, US politics used to be more segregated.

00:13:36.000 People lived in their own communities.

00:13:38.000 Now we have the internet and that's kind of like the great political desegregator.

00:13:43.000 And so, you know, young black guys, young Hispanic guys, they're able to See the same memes, talk about the same topics, interact with all the political forces in the exact same way other young men are, whether they're white or Asian or not even American or whatever.

00:13:57.000 And I think that's a great intermixer and it's removing a lot of that racial cast to American politics.

00:14:06.000 And let's not discount social pressure.

00:14:08.000 So when I go to these campuses, if you are a young white dude for Harris, You're not treated very well.

00:14:15.000 Go ahead.

00:14:16.000 The social pressure thing is really interesting, because when they've studied this, they say one of the biggest factors that makes a non-white person more open to Republicans is just whether or not their social circle is entirely of their own race or not.

00:14:31.000 So if you are a black person who basically only interacts in like, you go to a black church, you live in an entirely black neighborhood, all your friends are black, Then you're pretty likely almost certainly going to still be a Democrat, but if you peel this away even a little bit, and it doesn't have to be that much, but once you have greater overlap where maybe you go to a church that's a little more racially mixed or fully racially mixed,

00:14:56.000 Or if you're in a more, if you have a few more friends of different groups, this breaks away quickly.

00:15:02.000 And that's a really interesting trend.

00:15:05.000 And again, it doesn't even need to be the majority, but it's that you can get that jump from 0% to 25-30% really quickly.

00:15:12.000 And it's just a matter of not being in an environment where it just is absolutely expected you're going to vote away.

00:15:18.000 Yeah, and the social pressure is also in the sense where, if you're in a fraternity, and one of the dudes is like, yeah, I vote for Kamala, you're kind of not getting treated very well, right?

00:15:34.000 Should we go buy you a Bud Light?

00:15:35.000 Or they're like, yeah, I mean, do you want a tampon, dude?

00:15:39.000 They kind of razz you a little bit.

00:15:41.000 And just, again, I neither support nor oppose that.

00:15:44.000 It's just that's college social pressure culture. 0.86

00:15:47.000 But for men in particular, you kind of lose your man card if you vote for Kamala Harris for good reason.

00:15:53.000 There's a thing called a preference cascade, where it's sort of everyone will be locked into a certain

00:15:57.000 behavior because they kind of fear the reaction of everyone else

00:16:01.000 if they do it or breaking the norm.

00:16:03.000 You'll hear this brought up like in the context of NFL coaches.

00:16:06.000 So NFL coaches used to never go for it on fourth down because the idea was, well, if you go for it and fail, you'll look bad and they'll fire you.

00:16:12.000 Even though all the stats guys are like, you should go forward on fourth down more because it'll, it works out and you'll score more points.

00:16:18.000 And none of them would do it.

00:16:19.000 And then a couple coaches started to do it.

00:16:22.000 And like in two years swings all the way the other way.

00:16:25.000 And almost all the coaches are doing it.

00:16:27.000 And there was a preference cascade.

00:16:29.000 Once a couple did it, it showed that you could do it.

00:16:32.000 And it's very similar with politics.

00:16:34.000 Once a few people in your community are showing like, I'm going to And that's so well put.

00:16:40.000 and I'm gonna vote for Trump and I'm gonna say it and if they don't die they

00:16:43.000 don't get blown up other people start thinking I could do that too and it can

00:16:47.000 that's how you can get that very rapid shift and and that's so well put and

00:16:50.000 that's kind of the magic of what we're doing on these campuses where all the

00:16:53.000 kids were in the MAGA hats and the videos because they're like oh I'll go

00:16:56.000 for it on fourth down I'll go exactly Exactly.

00:16:58.000 That's okay for me to do that.

00:17:00.000 And the left enjoys kind of the homogenization of worldview on these campuses.

00:17:07.000 Maximum diversity and then everyone is the exact same.

00:17:09.000 Well, yeah.

00:17:10.000 I mean, everyone looks different but thinks the same.

00:17:13.000 That's the idea of a college campus is that there is racial diversity, but there's no intellectual diversity.

00:17:20.000 Joining us now is Art Del Cueto, a National Border Patrol and Council Vice President.

00:17:25.000 Art showed me around the border many years ago.

00:17:28.000 He's a great man, and he joins us now.

00:17:30.000 Art, welcome to the program.

00:17:31.000 Hey, Charlie.

00:17:31.000 Thank you for having me on.

00:17:32.000 I appreciate it, Bernard.

00:17:33.000 Absolutely.

00:17:34.000 So, Art, you are at the border right now.

00:17:36.000 Kamala Harris is making a visit to the border, something she has not done in over three years.

00:17:43.000 What is your reaction to the Vice President's visit to the border?

00:17:46.000 Look, it's honestly, Charlie, you know me, we've known each other for a long time.

00:17:50.000 It's a photo op, it's a photo shoot.

00:17:51.000 She's going into an area where the numbers have gone down in that specific area.

00:17:58.000 Tucson's sector continues to be one of the number one areas in the country for gottaways. 0.98

00:18:02.000 And it's the number one area in the country for encounters.

00:18:05.000 However, she's going to an area where that's not where it's actually happening.

00:18:09.000 She should have come down to Sassabee. 1.00

00:18:10.000 She should have come down to other ports on the reservation.

00:18:13.000 She should have come to the reservation, to be honest, which is where most of the traffic is.

00:18:17.000 But she doesn't care to do that. 0.99

00:18:19.000 But why should she?

00:18:20.000 She hasn't been here in three and a half years.

00:18:22.000 Like, she just has never been here.

00:18:24.000 And so it's just a photo shoot.

00:18:26.000 I think it's just she has to check the box.

00:18:28.000 She has to say, hey, look, guys, I went to the border now.

00:18:31.000 But realistically, you know, I know, we all know that it's just a photo op.

00:18:36.000 She doesn't really care.

00:18:38.000 Unless she's coming down to see the actual mess she's created, because that's the only thing she would be coming down for, is to see the mess her and the administration created already.

00:18:46.000 So Art, can you describe to our audience the severity of the crisis that you're experiencing on the southern border?

00:18:52.000 Look, it's chaotic, for one, just the numbers that we know.

00:18:55.000 If you look at the numbers of the apprehensions, you look at the numbers of the gotaways and everything like that, you know it's severe.

00:19:00.000 When you're looking at what's happening throughout the country with, you know, the illegal alien crimes that are happening in different parts of the United States away from the border in the interior, when you look at that, that alone shows you how severe it is.

00:19:11.000 But I'm going to add something to it that people don't realize.

00:19:13.000 There's hardly any agents out here because they're stuck in the processing centers.

00:19:17.000 So the actual got away numbers, we don't know what they are.

00:19:21.000 We have no idea how many people have actually gotten away because there's no one out here.

00:19:25.000 And the drug cartels, the human smuggling organizations, they know what they do.

00:19:29.000 So what they do is they go ahead and flood one area with a larger group.

00:19:34.000 Especially out in Arizona where everything's so remote from processing centers, they'll flood that area knowing that most of the resources are not going to have to go to that area.

00:19:41.000 They're going to have to worry about transport, transport them all the way.

00:19:45.000 Some of the transport to a processing center is sometimes over two hours away.

00:19:49.000 So that whole two hours away where they're driving and processing, you don't have agents on the line for that time.

00:19:55.000 That's where the cartels realize what they're doing.

00:19:58.000 That's why at the beginning of the Biden administration, The single pill of fentanyl was a little bit over $4 a pill.

00:20:07.000 Right now under the administration, you're looking at less than 20 cents for one pill of fentanyl.

00:20:12.000 And that's because they have flooded our streets with drugs.

00:20:14.000 There's so much of it here.

00:20:16.000 And it's happened under this administration because they've had this open border policy that we talk about all the time.

00:20:22.000 I want to play a piece of tape here and get your reaction, please.

00:20:25.000 Let's play cut 166.

00:20:27.000 It's crazy to think that half of America is A-OK supportive of mass deportations.

00:20:32.000 But what a lot of voters are leaning towards Trump on immigration is that he does talk about it every day.

00:20:39.000 So the fact that she's now talking about it is a huge win.

00:20:42.000 And not just going to the border.

00:20:44.000 But talking to communities around the country that have had a huge influx of legal immigration, but those communities are economically strained, right?

00:20:54.000 They are maxed out.

00:20:55.000 Donald Trump touches a scintilla of truth, a scintilla, and then pushes it into a total lie zone.

00:21:02.000 She's now getting into that space and seeing those people, people who potentially have felt like the government said, sit down, be quiet and get used to the new world.

00:21:11.000 And so she's now going there.

00:21:12.000 And this could really be an A good move for her.

00:21:16.000 Art, your reaction to MSNBC here?

00:21:18.000 She created it.

00:21:19.000 That's what's crazy is that like she created the mess and now she's going to pretend she's going to fix it. 1.00

00:21:23.000 Well, it's your mess.

00:21:23.000 It's kind of like a child when he makes a mess at home.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, you got to clean up your mess.

00:21:28.000 She's ignored the mess that she left behind.

00:21:31.000 She's ignored this mess for three and a half years.

00:21:33.000 Their policies are the ones that created everything.

00:21:35.000 And I'll be honest, when they start pointing the finger at President Trump and start saying, oh, he just gets a small piece.

00:21:40.000 No, look.

00:21:41.000 The facts are, under this administration, our border has been more chaotic than under any other administration.

00:21:48.000 That's the reality.

00:21:49.000 Drugs have been pouring into the country more so than any other administration.

00:21:53.000 That's the reality.

00:21:54.000 There's no, like, picking facts here and there.

00:21:56.000 That's the actual truth of what's happening.

00:21:58.000 Donald Trump lowered the numbers just by rhetoric alone when he first took over office, and he handed over a border that was way more in control than what we're seeing now.

00:22:08.000 Again, this mess has been created by them, and when you're talking about mass deportation, we're talking about going and finding the people that actually claimed a type of asylum.

00:22:19.000 So we're now going to see them and say, okay, let's see what claim you actually had.

00:22:24.000 That's the lawful way to do things.

00:22:26.000 Isn't that what they came into the country to begin with? 1.00

00:22:28.000 To get an asylum case started?

00:22:30.000 Well, now they're going to have their day in court, and those that Do not have a real asylum claim, which I'm going to tell you the majority of them don't.

00:22:36.000 They're going to have to face deportation back to their country.

00:22:39.000 That's the way the laws work.

00:22:41.000 And the way it should work.

00:22:42.000 That's so wonderfully said.

00:22:46.000 From the creators of Jesus Revolution comes a new film that's bound to touch your heart, White Bird, A Wonder Story.

00:22:52.000 Discover the moving tale of Julian as he uncovers his grandmother's incredible journey to escape Nazi-occupied France during World War II.

00:22:59.000 Based on the beloved book by the best-selling author of Wonder, this inspiring film demonstrates how one simple act of kindness can create ripples that last a lifetime.

00:23:07.000 Directed by the visionary behind Finding Neverland and featuring stellar performances by Gillian Anderson and Academy Award winner Helen Mirren, White Bird promises to be a cinematic experience you won't forget.

00:23:18.000 Catch it in theaters starting October 4th.

00:23:20.000 For tickets and more details visit whitebird.movie So, Art, I want to talk about a darker element here, and I remember when I visited the border many years ago, you told me about this, which is the children.

00:23:33.000 There are 320,000 missing kids right now, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

00:23:38.000 Sources within the El Centro sector say that an incident took place involving drugging unaccompanied children just two days After the one also happened previously.

00:23:46.000 This was two kids from Mexico, four and eight years old, being smuggled by the U.S.

00:23:50.000 citizen with extensive criminal history who had a Navajo birth certificate in her possession that didn't belong to the kids.

00:23:56.000 Sources say that she went through the San Luis port of entry on foot in Arizona.

00:24:00.000 They were then picked up by a vehicle traveling north and stopped at the border patrol in California Wednesday night around 845.

00:24:07.000 Sources say the kids were drowsy and had been given sleep aids.

00:24:10.000 One of the kids is currently acting as a material witness against the driver.

00:24:13.000 This is just one example, Art, I'm sure of thousands.

00:24:17.000 Educate our audience on the human catastrophe, the horror of the children involved in this crisis.

00:24:24.000 So Charlie, I put that up a couple months ago on my own Instagram because I had talked to friends that are working in the area and I can tell you that they've been seeing continuous amounts of people crossing or people coming through the checkpoints with children and various bottles of melatonin.

00:24:39.000 So they're giving these children melatonin so they can fall asleep and remain quiet when they're coming through the desert as well as remain quiet when they go through the checkpoints.

00:24:46.000 That is the reality of what's happening.

00:24:48.000 And why is it happening?

00:24:49.000 Because this administration sent the word out and told everyone Come one, come all.

00:24:55.000 So what they've continued to utilize is now they're utilizing these children as pawns

00:25:00.000 so they can continue to bring people into the United States.

00:25:03.000 And then they have the loopholes of the florist rulings and everything else, which is a court decision

00:25:10.000 that allows these kids not to be detained more than 21 days.

00:25:13.000 They use this.

00:25:14.000 A lot of them are under 14 years of age and you can't really check and see

00:25:18.000 if these are their real parents.

00:25:19.000 So all of these tactics have been continuously used by these human smuggling organizations,

00:25:24.000 run by the drug cartels in order to continue to do what they're doing.

00:25:28.000 Every single child that's been missing falls on the hands of this administration.

00:25:34.000 You're gonna hear it.

00:25:35.000 You're gonna hear it after this election.

00:25:36.000 You're gonna hear people say, oh, you know, they separated kids.

00:25:40.000 No, the kids were separated themselves because the drug smuggling organizations

00:25:45.000 utilize these children to further get people into the country.

00:25:48.000 They're the ones that are separating the kids and it's being facilitated by this administration.

00:25:53.000 So Art, I just gotta ask you, are these kids potentially being used 0.94

00:25:57.000 as labor slaves, sex slaves?

00:25:59.000 What are they being smuggled towards?

00:26:01.000 At this point, you don't know because some of these kids,

00:26:04.000 you know, they've been recycled and they get sent back to Mexico

00:26:06.000 and they get rented out to another person So you just really don't know.

00:26:10.000 But look, you're dealing with criminal organizations that work in 168 different countries.

00:26:15.000 168 different countries.

00:26:19.000 To me, in law enforcement, that's a red flag.

00:26:22.000 And people need to start looking into what's actually happening to these children.

00:26:25.000 You said that the kids are rented out?

00:26:27.000 Like it's a Toyota Camry from Avis?

00:26:31.000 Unfortunately, it sounds horrible, Charlie, but that's what it is.

00:26:34.000 So some of these kids, if they're under the age of 14, somebody will pretend that they're their parents because they realize they won't be detained longer than 21 days.

00:26:41.000 So they come across with this child.

00:26:42.000 The child is told, hey, make sure you say this is the parent.

00:26:46.000 They rent these kids from different parents in Mexico, and they just continuously get recycled back into Mexico, and then someone else will use the child again.

00:26:57.000 I mean, Art, it almost makes me speechless to hear that.

00:27:01.000 And does anybody from the current federal government seem overly concerned about this practice to stop it and to say, we're not going to put up with rent-a-kids on the southern border?

00:27:14.000 Look, it's really difficult, and I feel bad.

00:27:15.000 Honestly, I'm one of those guys that always speak up against bad managers each and every time.

00:27:21.000 But I'm telling you right now, the management within our agency is handcuffed.

00:27:26.000 Because of the issues with this administration.

00:27:29.000 You're going to have to have people that are running the show and right now they're handcuffed having to do so.

00:27:32.000 I mean, you look at this photo op that she's going to do down in Douglas.

00:27:36.000 I can guarantee you that the majority of the individuals that are the leadership within this agency, they don't want to be there.

00:27:43.000 They don't because they realize how bad it's been under these last three and a half years.

00:27:47.000 But what do you do when you're a leader in the organization and you're called by the vice president And you say, hey, we're going down there.

00:27:52.000 You have to be there.

00:27:53.000 And it's frustrating.

00:27:56.000 And I know it's frustrating for everybody else.

00:27:58.000 Art, you're a good man.

00:27:59.000 Thank you.

00:28:00.000 I might want to come down to the border sometime soon and see it again myself.

00:28:04.000 But we've got to win an election in the meantime.

00:28:06.000 Thank you, Art.

00:28:07.000 And sorry that you have to go through this charade, this Hollywood script.

00:28:12.000 But God bless you and stay safe.

00:28:13.000 Thank you.

00:28:14.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:28:14.000 You too.

00:28:15.000 Be safe.

00:28:16.000 I want to play this clip here of Miss Stephanie Ruhle. 1.00

00:28:20.000 I know we played part of this earlier, but she's almost getting—she's so close to saying something insightful, but she has to kind of do the MSNBC thing.

00:28:29.000 She's so close.

00:28:30.000 She's so close to actually talking about how Trump voters see the world.

00:28:35.000 Almost.

00:28:36.000 And again, she's going to be probably canceled for this, because one of the verboten actions You're not allowed to do it, is sympathize with how a Trump voter views the world.

00:28:47.000 You're not allowed to do that.

00:28:48.000 You're not allowed to feel their pain.

00:28:50.000 You're not allowed to see the way they see things.

00:28:54.000 You have to simply say, they're racist. 0.98

00:28:57.000 They're misogynist. 1.00

00:28:58.000 They're awful, terrible, backwards people. 1.00

00:29:01.000 End of story. 0.98

00:29:02.000 So I'm trying to find this piece of tape here that was in the cold open.

00:29:05.000 It is effectively, Stephanie Ruhle was saying, That Trump has communicated with these people in Forgotten America for some time.

00:29:17.000 And Kamala Harris is now finally starting to go to Forgotten America.

00:29:23.000 And the lack of concern for DC from this part of the world is one of the reasons why we have seen this kind of separation and this, let's just say, these political trends start to continue.

00:29:39.000 And the brilliance of Donald Trump, not only does he listen to the concerns of this forgotten part of the world, but he has broadened the base.

00:29:50.000 The Vox article continues by saying, championed conservative social issues.

00:29:57.000 Another reason why Latinos and blacks might be coming in our direction. 1.00

00:30:03.000 But the one thing that they will not mention at this diagnosis of why is it the Democrat Party is becoming richer and whiter?

00:30:10.000 The Democrat Party is becoming richer and whiter.

00:30:12.000 is very simple and very clear, is that it's a value system.

00:30:17.000 And Blake, it's also about the Democrat Party is secular, and white individuals, white

00:30:22.000 Americans are becoming more secular, and Latinos are still more religious. 0.72

00:30:26.000 Well, it used to be that the Democrats were more the big tent party of America. It used to, I mean,

00:30:34.000 if you go back about 80 years, you have a party that's like, amalgamating Harvard liberals with,

00:30:42.000 you know, some like rural farmers, with southern segregationists. It was a very big party.

00:30:46.000 And then it's been narrowing more and more ever since. And even as recently as the early 2000s,

00:30:53.000 it was still...

00:30:54.000 It's pretty possible to be a socially conservative Democrat, and you just cared about labor issues, stuff like that, and they've just totally narrowed themselves in to being a much more ideological party.

00:31:08.000 You really have to be on board with a pretty strong secularism.

00:31:12.000 You might say you're religious, but it really shouldn't be guiding anything you do, and you definitely shouldn't oppose any radical social experiments.

00:31:20.000 And they're much more hostile to anyone who's dissenting on any of these particular issues.

00:31:24.000 They're much less tolerant of anyone who steps out of line.

00:31:28.000 And so, you know, it used to be, oh, I'm a Democrat who disagrees with the rest of the party on a few of these things, to how does it make sense for me to be a Democrat anymore if I'm pro-life or if I don't think transitioning kids is a good idea? 0.86

00:31:44.000 Or, I think we should have a border.

00:31:46.000 That's now a morally inflected issue for them.

00:31:50.000 If you're a Democrat, you don't really have the vocabulary to say why we should have a secure border.

00:31:56.000 I want to play this here.

00:31:56.000 This is a different tape, but it's good.

00:31:58.000 This is cut 160, MSNBC.

00:32:01.000 If Kamala Harris is to win, what's her path to victory? 1.00

00:32:05.000 Boosting female turnout proportional over male turnout above 4%.

00:32:07.000 If men vote 2% less than women, we win the White House. 0.97

00:32:15.000 It's really that simple.

00:32:16.000 Women vote more than men because women tend to be more responsible. 0.99

00:32:20.000 They tend to be more studious.

00:32:21.000 They tend to be more likely to follow instructions and orders.

00:32:24.000 More pro-social.

00:32:24.000 Exactly.

00:32:25.000 So, fill out the piece of paper.

00:32:26.000 Yes.

00:32:27.000 Tell a man to do that. 0.76

00:32:27.000 Why? 0.76

00:32:28.000 Who are you?

00:32:28.000 Where do you come from?

00:32:29.000 It's just like a whole disaster.

00:32:31.000 Let's play Cut 160.

00:32:33.000 Particularly at a time, I think, on this campaign where we've got kind of two different views of masculinity.

00:32:37.000 I mean, I think, as women perhaps, and I'm sure you've noticed that too, Gene, there's this kind of alpha retro view of masculinity that we're seeing from the Trump campaign.

00:32:45.000 And then you've got Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff, who are both professional men, but are in sort of supportive roles of a woman who's the principal candidate.

00:32:52.000 and how they are... and he said something very interesting, he said look you can't scold people, you can't tell them

00:32:58.000 you should be more supportive of women and women candidates and that's going to help everybody

00:33:02.000 but he hopes that by leading by example, by talking about the fact that he loves his wife, that you can make space

00:33:08.000 for women to rise to the top and it doesn't diminish your masculinity 1.00

00:33:12.000 Good luck with that. If your idea of winning back men is Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz, I'll take Dana White, Hulk Hogan

00:33:20.000 and Kid Rock Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
