The Culture War - Tim Pool - NO KINGS Protester Calls For People To SHOOT ICE, Tom Homan SLAMS Extremists ft. Tom Homan

00:00:00.000 And one of the reasons we have the most secure border in the history of the nation right now

00:00:04.540 is because of President Trump's executive orders and his leadership. Two, the men and women of

00:00:08.280 Border Patrol who stand on that line enforcing law. And three, the consequences. Over a thousand

00:00:13.320 ICE teams are on the streets every day. We're showing the whole world, if you got by, if you

00:00:18.180 get by, we're looking for you. And that stops many, many people from using their entire life savings,

00:00:24.380 putting their hands on criminal cartels to take that dangerous journey. The actions of ICE is one

00:00:29.140 of the reasons we had the most secure border in history, this nation. Violent symbolism. Threats

00:00:35.220 steal the show at the nationwide No Kings protest. Many of you have already seen this video. It's

00:00:41.040 from the DHS. It's from a No Kings liberal. This is not Antifa. This is not some fringe extremist.

00:00:48.080 This is mainstream liberal protest in daylight on a microphone. Listen to this.

00:00:56.140 You got to grab the guns. We got to turn around the guns on this fascist system.

00:01:02.660 These ICE agents got to get shot and wiped out. All right. Today, we're going to talk about 0.99

00:01:08.120 how we can find out and how much we can find out. So this is DHS pointing out at a Chicago No Kings 0.59

00:01:15.780 rally. This man called for ICE agents to be shot. We've heard reports out of Oregon and Illinois

00:01:23.420 that local police are collecting evidence to criminally charge and arrest federal agents.

00:01:29.220 In California, Newsom says, take your mask off. Otherwise, you will be criminally charged misdemeanor

00:01:34.540 starting January 1st. And a Chicago judge says ICE agents can be arrested at courthouses

00:01:42.620 because this one crime is now protected. Well, I've got a lot to ask about this because I'm concerned

00:01:49.820 about the escalation. We're going to bring in, we've got Tom Homan. Let me fix that. There we go.

00:01:56.820 Tom Homan will be joining us. Let's get it going. Pull it up. We are currently loading.

00:02:02.900 DHS agents can be arrested and Trump wins on right to deploy.

00:02:05.760 We pulled you in. We can hear you now. Can you hear me?

00:02:09.960 Cool.

00:02:10.620 Hey, how you doing?

00:02:12.000 I'm doing pretty well. Actually, how are you doing? I think it's actually an important question

00:02:15.840 considering the violence and the threats. How are you doing?

00:02:19.640 I'm doing all right. Look, it's a tough job, but I'm not going anywhere. And we're going to keep

00:02:25.060 doing what we're doing. I mean, they're not going to stop us from keeping President Trump's promise,

00:02:30.520 make this country safe again, arrest those here illegally. And that's exactly what we're doing. 1.00

00:02:34.020 We're going to keep doing it. We're going to do it today. We're going to do it tomorrow,

00:02:37.780 especially in sanctuary cities.

00:02:39.140 Right on. Well, I think most people do know who you are. Do you want to give a brief overview of

00:02:44.140 your role in immigration enforcement, what your job is?

00:02:48.240 Well, look, I'm the border czar and President Trump. I report directly to President Trump.

00:02:53.340 He brought me on to do three things. Number one, secure the border. Number two,

00:02:57.760 oversee the biggest deportation operation this country's seen. And three, find over the 300,000

00:03:03.800 reportedly missing children that the last administration released on vetted sponsors to find those kids.

00:03:08.000 That's the three pillars. I got my arms wrapped around, and that's what I'm doing every day.

00:03:14.020 There are a lot of stories. I got a lot of questions. We've got threats to arrest federal

00:03:19.980 agents. But I'll start here. This viral video from Chicago, the No Kings protest. It's a man saying

00:03:27.300 that people should buy guns and shoot ICE agents. What's terrifying about this, I think people need 0.95

00:03:33.180 to understand, is this is not, it appears, some far-left extremist in a basement plotting a terror

00:03:38.820 attack. This appears to be a run-of-the-mill mainstream liberal guy in broad daylight at a

00:03:45.080 massive liberal protest organized by NGOs on a microphone calling for people to kill federal 0.94

00:03:52.400 agents. I think it's obvious the DOJ is going to go after them, but I'm curious your thoughts on

00:03:59.440 this degree of escalation. What do you think should happen, and what do you think will happen?

00:04:04.360 Well, look, I said back in March, I think in March, I said if the hateful rhetoric didn't get

00:04:10.240 tamped down, there was going to be bloodshed. Someone's going to die. Now, I was hoping I'd be

00:04:15.020 wrong, but I wasn't, right? So we had three shootings just in Texas alone, where one gunman

00:04:21.280 attacked a Border Patrol training facility. He ended up being killed by the BORTAC agents inside

00:04:27.260 absolutely. Another one, they had a group of people show up at a processing center,

00:04:32.200 detention center outside of Dallas, a group of them, and a local law enforcement responded to

00:04:37.480 assist our agents, and he was shot in the neck. Then we had this shooting in Dallas, where a sniper

00:04:42.700 intended to shoot ice agents shooting into a blacked-out van that was transporting detainees and

00:04:48.420 killed detainees. And so, unfortunately, I was right, and I'll say it again. If the rhetoric doesn't

00:04:55.080 stop, there will be more bloodshed. I've seen this movie before, and I actually thought after

00:04:59.740 these three incidents that maybe the hardcore left that is pushing this hateful rhetoric would stop

00:05:05.900 when they see the consequences of this rhetoric, but they haven't. They doubled down. That was

00:05:12.280 evidence this weekend in the No Kings protest. And these stories, look, there's always nuts on both

00:05:18.660 sides, but I'm not really concerned as much with the nuts on the left with the rhetoric as I am with

00:05:23.820 members of Congress. Governors, mayors, elected members of Congress who want to vilify ICE for

00:05:30.120 enforcing the laws that Congress enacted, right? ICE isn't out there making this up. They're

00:05:35.540 enforcing laws that were acted in the federal statute. They are funded, appropriated by Congress

00:05:41.220 to enforce these laws. So people don't like what ICE is doing. I've said this a lot of times. Go protest

00:05:45.900 Congress. Tell them to change the laws. But for any member of Congress, for any mayor or governor who

00:05:51.620 wants to push this hateful rhetoric, I find it hard to believe, because I think, I find it hard to

00:05:56.800 believe that they just continue to do this. Because I would think the number one responsibility

00:06:02.620 of any member of Congress, any mayor, any governor, is protection of the communities. And ICE is out there

00:06:09.780 concentrating on public safety threats, the worst first. And the data clearly shows that's exactly

00:06:14.460 what they're doing. Approximately 70% of everybody they arrest, it's a criminal. So every criminal

00:06:20.380 alien, they take out of that neighborhood, makes that neighborhood safer. So why can't we be

00:06:25.240 shoulder to shoulder on that and make this country safer? I'm actually going to quote you on this one

00:06:29.760 from that viral clip you had when being questioned by AOC. First, I'll clarify with respect the 70%

00:06:36.700 number for most people. You're referring to, these are violent criminals who, on top of being illegal

00:06:42.160 immigrants, have committed more serious crimes. But just to throw it back to what you said in that 1.00

00:06:47.160 hearing, entering the country illegally is a crime. 100% of these people are being arrested

00:06:52.600 for a crime they committed. And the majority, 70%, you're saying it's more serious crimes than just

00:06:58.520 illegal entry. Oh yeah, they're public safety threats, right? Entering a country, you're right, 1.00

00:07:05.020 correct, entering a country illegally is a crime. So in fact, they've all committed crimes. But we're 0.62

00:07:09.680 talking a public safety threat. I want to separate a public safety threat because that shows that

00:07:14.080 President Trump's keeping his promise to American people that we're concentrating on a worse first.

00:07:18.320 We're concentrating on those public safety threats who endanger life in our communities. So that is

00:07:24.220 what we're going to keep pushing for. The left can keep saying we're out there arresting brown and 1.00

00:07:30.220 black people. It's just ridiculous because ISIS arrested people from 181 different countries. 0.98

00:07:36.560 That's almost every country in the world. We arrest people from Europe. We arrest people from Asia. 1.00

00:07:40.940 We arrest people from Central and South America. So it's not about brown and black people. It's 1.00

00:07:45.940 about criminals. It's about public safety threats. And look, 70% criminal. Who's the other 30%? Many

00:07:52.100 of them are national security threats. Most national security threats don't have a criminal history

00:07:57.340 because they're laying low to do their dirty deed down the road, right? A lot of them, a lot of who we

00:08:02.260 arrest are fugitives. They had due process at great taxpayer expense. A federal judge ordered them

00:08:08.060 deported. But rather than leave, they became a fugitive. You're damn right we're looking for

00:08:11.940 them. We're enforcing laws and our job is to execute those fine orders because the message we're going 0.66

00:08:16.300 to send to the whole world, it's not okay to enter this country illegally. It's not okay to commit a

00:08:21.040 crime after you hear illegally. And finally, it's not okay to ignore the federal judge's orders.

00:08:26.060 We're going to look for you and remove you because we want to send that message to the whole world.

00:08:29.560 There are consequences. And one of the reasons we have the most secure border in the history of the

00:08:34.800 nation right now is because of President Trump's executive orders and his leadership. Two, the men

00:08:38.600 and women of Border Patrol who stand on that line enforcing law. And three, the consequences. Over 0.82

00:08:43.640 a thousand ICE teams are on the streets every day. We're showing the whole world, if you got by,

00:08:48.620 if you get by, we're looking for you. And that stops many, many people from using their entire life

00:08:54.340 savings, putting their hands of criminal cartels to take that dangerous journey. The actions of ICE is

00:08:59.780 one of the reasons we had the most secure border in history of this nation.

00:09:02.820 You brought up these terror attacks on ICE facilities. Chicago, there were a handful of

00:09:08.500 vehicle rammings. We saw the initial story was rather shocking where the vehicle was reportedly

00:09:14.340 surrounded. This woman rams the, I'm not sure if it was ICE or CBP, but they got out, returned, 0.63

00:09:20.180 they opened fire on the woman. I read reports that Chicago police were instructed to clear the area

00:09:25.940 and not provide assistance. And then we heard that gang members in Chicago are being offered bounties

00:09:32.700 to kill ICE agents, DHS agents, CBP or otherwise, and that Mexican gangs are now increasing that.

00:09:40.260 It feels like with the institutional opposition in Illinois combined with the gang presence that

00:09:46.480 it's getting pretty dangerous for our federal law enforcement agents that, as you mentioned,

00:09:52.120 the duly elected popular president, won the popular vote, has asked these men to care at the law as the

00:09:57.360 will of the voter. And now they're facing criminal threats and institutional opposition.

00:10:02.320 Do you have concerns about the escalation in Chicago, particularly with these bounties and these

00:10:07.580 threats?

00:10:07.780 Yes, I do. And every night before I go to sleep, I pray that every man and woman of Border Patrol ICE go home to their

00:10:16.160 families. I also pray that those are arresting. No one dies. But the bounties placed on Border Patrol ICE is an

00:10:29.100 escalation. And look, the criminal cartels in Mexico, they're hurting, right? On the last four

00:10:35.680 years, when the border's wide open, they're making record amount of money in smuggling aliens, a record

00:10:40.700 amount of money in sex trafficking of women and children, a record amount of money moving dope

00:10:45.400 across that border, specifically fentanyl that killed a quarter million Americans. Now we have the most secure

00:10:50.700 border in our lifetime. These cartels are hurting. Matter of fact, they're looking at expanding

00:10:55.460 operations in Asia and Europe because they know it's tough here. So look, they're attacking the very 0.98

00:10:59.980 people who's affecting their bottom line, the money they're making. And we all know gangs here in the

00:11:05.520 United States help distribute narcotics for the cartels. I mean, the cartels used to just be in

00:11:10.680 charge of smuggling the drugs into the country and go to the cities and be distributed. Now the cartels have

00:11:16.120 a presence in the United States and every major city in this country to take over the interior operations

00:11:21.160 of the distribution with those major cities. So yeah, taking out ICE, threatening ICE and

00:11:26.360 Border Patrol agents, they're trying to protect their bottom line to open up that business opportunity

00:11:31.040 again. But I got news for them. The men and women in ICE and Border Patrol will keep doing this job.

00:11:36.120 They're under a great threat, but they're standing up and putting a gun on their hip every day,

00:11:42.320 putting that Kevlar vest on to do what this country needs them to do, enforce the laws and remove

00:11:46.900 these public safety threats. The job's always been dangerous. It's a lot more dangerous now,

00:11:51.640 but I haven't talked to one ICE agent or one Border Patrol agent that wants to stop and go

00:11:55.980 away because of threats. They're doubling down, they're tripling down. They're not going to let

00:12:00.300 the cartels decide how this country operates. They're not going to let the cartels threaten them

00:12:05.320 and not enforce the law. They're going to do the right thing. Because I tell you,

00:12:08.780 with a half a million arrests already, look at how much safer this nation is under President

00:12:15.140 Trump's leader. Look what he did in Washington, D.C., what he's doing in Memphis, right? What

00:12:18.800 we're doing in Chicago, what we're doing in Portland. I mean, we're making these communities

00:12:22.700 safer again. And the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol, they now get to do their job that

00:12:27.260 they weren't able to do for four years. The morale's at an all-time high. No one's going to stop them

00:12:31.600 from doing what they've been to do what they swore and oath to do and that they believe needs to be

00:12:38.560 done because these men and women are patriots and they're going to keep doing this job every day,

00:12:42.160 despite the hate, despite the threats. I'm from Chicago. I grew up there. I spent my first

00:12:46.480 23 years there. A couple months in between, I had briefly visited other places, but 23 years in

00:12:52.520 Chicago before I left. And a lot of it had to do with crime and opportunity. I have friends from

00:12:58.960 the city still. I've known my whole life. And I even employed some and moved them out here to work

00:13:02.580 with me on the shows that we do. And I asked them, growing up, we had criminal gangs threatening us,

00:13:10.780 robbing us. It was just the way of life in Chicago. You have gun violence. And I said,

00:13:15.220 what do you think when you see these DHS guys or the National Guard? It's laughter. Is this a joke?

00:13:24.840 For me, I can imagine walking down the street and I see these videos of these CBP guys walking down

00:13:30.460 the street. I'd be like, howdy officers. And I'd keep walking and I wouldn't think twice.

00:13:35.020 If someone asked me, were I still living there? Part of the reason why I got away from it,

00:13:40.360 I've been shot at for no reason. Would you prefer federal law enforcement patrolling Chicago to keep

00:13:45.560 it safe? I'd say it's about time the mayor asked for help from the federal government to deal with

00:13:50.560 the hundred years of violence the city has been going through. So what's crazy to me now is we see

00:13:55.780 this political move. These Democrats are acting like it's an invasion. It's evil. It's wrong.

00:13:59.460 They are opposing law enforcement that's actually keeping the city safer. You as a citizen of

00:14:05.940 Chicago have literally nothing to fear as a resident. But what do we end up seeing at the

00:14:11.440 Broadview facility, which is just slightly west of Chicago proper? A judge ruled that these agents,

00:14:16.780 that the ICE facility had to remove the barricades protecting them from violent rioters who had been

00:14:21.580 harassing and attacking law enforcement now for, what is it, weeks. I'm curious your thoughts on this

00:14:26.460 institutional level. You mentioned, you know, you got to follow the rules, the orders of these

00:14:29.980 judges. And ICE did. They took the barriers down, even at great risk to themselves. What do you think

00:14:36.000 of the institutional opposition? It feels like they're opposing you for the sake of opposing you,

00:14:41.440 and they're making things less safe. Well, they are making things less safe. And I think it's a

00:14:47.020 coordinated attack. Look, they do not want President Trump to be successful. Every day we're out there,

00:14:54.000 you know, they keep attacking men and women, Iceland, Border Patrol, and this administration.

00:14:59.600 Bottom line is, for the last four years, over 10.5 million illegal aliens came to our southern

00:15:05.640 border. Fast majority released in the United States. Now that President Trump is pulling the

00:15:11.180 curtain back, I know they weren't properly vetted. Look how many criminals they released,

00:15:15.300 public safety threats released. And we're wrestling and taking them out. We have a secure border now.

00:15:19.600 When they claimed for the last four years, the border was secure. They want President Trump to

00:15:24.180 fail because if President Trump succeed, which he's doing, that pulls the curtain back in the last

00:15:28.680 four years of an open border, a lawless immigration system where ICE agents were not allowed to enforce

00:15:36.120 immigration law. Border Patrol agents were not allowed to enforce immigration law on the border.

00:15:41.720 So now we're back to work. We're doing right now what people haven't seen in four years. So I think

00:15:47.300 a lot of them are in shock. Now we're actually back there doing what we've done for decades.

00:15:51.280 What we're doing right now is no different than what we've done for decades, other than the problem

00:15:55.140 is so big because the millions of people, many criminals, they released the United States.

00:16:00.200 We need the help of DEA and FBI and Secret Service and ATF. We need the help of National Guard to come

00:16:08.220 and protect our federal buildings, to protect our officers. It's because the problem has been so big.

00:16:13.260 What the American people are seeing right now is that the problem the Biden administration created

00:16:18.980 is so big that President Trump, in a genius move, said, OK, it's going to take all the government to

00:16:25.140 fix this. It's going to take all the government to make this community safe again. That's exactly 0.86

00:16:29.260 what you're seeing. But don't let anybody fool you. The pushback on all these politicians on the left,

00:16:34.900 don't let Trump succeed. We can't give him a win. And that's our number one concern. It's not about

00:16:40.980 the safety and security the communities are responsible for. I've said this many times

00:16:45.320 and I mean it. They hate Trump more than they care about the community because they really care about

00:16:50.460 the danger in the communities. You want all law enforcement working together. No stovepipes.

00:16:55.660 Local law enforcement works in front of law enforcement. I think we learned that after 9-11

00:17:00.380 that there should be no stovepipes. Law enforcement should work with law enforcement. Let's remember who

00:17:04.300 the terrorists were in 9-11. Many of them were non-criminal aliens that are here unlawfully. 0.96

00:17:09.940 So we're going to keep doing this job. President Trump's going to keep his promise. But I don't

00:17:14.900 think they're going to stop. I think they don't want Trump to succeed. And every day he succeeds,

00:17:19.340 it just irritates them. And they're going to push back that much more.

00:17:22.520 You said you think they hate Trump more than they care about pushing.

00:17:27.780 They hate Trump more than they care about the security of the communities. Because if I was a mayor

00:17:31.640 and I got federal law enforcement coming to me and said, look, I don't want you to be an 1.00

00:17:36.740 immigration officer. I'm not asking you to be an immigration officer. But we want your law

00:17:41.080 enforcement to work with our law enforcement to remove public safety threats who are here illegally 1.00

00:17:45.960 from your neighborhoods making that neighborhood safe again. Anybody in their right mind will say,

00:17:51.100 yeah, yeah, let's make the community safe again. That's the number one responsibility. But they're

00:17:55.540 saying no. Why would they say no about assistance from other law enforcement to make the community

00:18:00.040 safer? This is politics. That's all it is. And it's not public safety. This is politics.

00:18:05.200 I think it's because they don't care about the community. And, you know, you don't have to agree

00:18:10.020 with me because maybe you'll be a little bit more diplomatic. But having grown up in Chicago,

00:18:13.880 what I found is 100 years of entrenched Democrat political rule. They have never solved the problems

00:18:21.560 of homelessness, poverty, gang violence, gun violence. I had a debate with a liberal about

00:18:26.500 sending in the National Guard, sending in federal law enforcement, which I support. I don't live

00:18:30.780 there anymore, but I do support it. We had an area in Chicago on the south side called the LeClaire

00:18:35.000 Courts, which is a historic gang territory. The city could have dealt with it by asking the feds,

00:18:41.400 bringing the National Guard, securing the community for those that were not criminals,

00:18:44.880 which was 99%. You know what they did instead? They bulldozed all their homes and told them,

00:18:51.180 don't worry, we'll rebuild it, and never did. That was the policy of Democrats. So forgive me if I'm

00:18:56.040 being a little bit more political. I think the attitude of these politicians is extract what

00:19:00.960 you can, trick as many people into supporting you. If it really was about helping keep the

00:19:06.140 community safe, if they cared in any way, they would have called Trump the moment he got in office

00:19:10.040 and said, we are ready and waiting for your assistance to help us with this crime.

00:19:15.600 Look, I don't think we disagree. You bring a different perspective, but me being a cop since,

00:19:21.420 you know, 1980 and 1983, I find it hard to believe the law enforcement don't want to work

00:19:26.280 with law enforcement. That's not the world I grew up in. That's not the country I grew up in.

00:19:29.220 I agree. They're barred from doing it.

00:19:30.920 And I think the line officers, well, last time I was in Chicago, we're doing operations,

00:19:37.260 and we stopped at a couple of precincts to, you know, to do a nature call. And every uniform

00:19:42.820 walked up to me, shook my hand, and thanked me for being there. The frontline officers, I think,

00:19:46.800 they want to do the right thing. They're happy we're there. It's the politicians. It's the folks

00:19:51.200 that, you know, have an agenda. And I think it's, I think it's an anti-Trump agenda, but I'm not

00:19:56.020 going to disagree with you about, do the local politicians really care about the neighborhood?

00:19:59.560 You bring a different perspective than that. As a career cop, though, I just can't believe

00:20:03.680 people aren't letting cops work for cops. I just, it's not the world I grew up in.

00:20:08.580 That's, it's, you know what I think? I think in Chicago, especially the, the issues,

00:20:12.920 they're wedge issues they can use to keep getting elected by claiming they're the only ones

00:20:15.860 who can solve it. But one, one thing we just saw is a, a U.S. district court judge ruled that

00:20:20.960 ICE agents can be arrested if you apprehend what's called the collateral, the collateral arrests.

00:20:27.720 They find migrants at courthouses, or illegal immigrants, I should say. They said they could 1.00

00:20:32.160 actually arrest ICE agents for trying to capture these people, which, if this is, this seems crazy.

00:20:36.680 It's a judge basically saying there's a category of crime, which you can't arrest someone for.

00:20:41.100 I mean, that's insane to threaten ICE agents with arrests. What, what, what is going on with

00:20:46.280 these, these arrests at or around courthouses? And what do you think of this judge's ruling?

00:20:50.780 Look, one of the safest places to arrest an illegal alien is inside a courthouse because you're going, 1.00

00:20:57.880 you know, you got to go, you got to get past, you know, the, the magnetometers you get searched for,

00:21:01.960 you're going to a courthouse. What a safer place to arrest a public safety threat than a courthouse,

00:21:06.860 right? And look, I've been in courthouses throughout my career. I've been in courthouses

00:21:11.840 where I watched a father being taken into custody for not paying child support. Arrest right in the

00:21:17.740 courthouse because he hasn't paid child support in six months. Judge says take him into custody.

00:21:21.600 So that's okay to arrest a father for not paying, you know, child support, which I support,

00:21:26.720 but it's not okay to arrest a public safety threat in the same type of courtroom situation.

00:21:31.320 So no, you know, I think the judge's order, of course, federal law always trumps local law.

00:21:36.720 Good luck with that. ISIS is going to enforce the laws, again, enacted by Congress and they're 0.93

00:21:40.960 not going to apologize for doing it. So that I'll let DOJ fight that. And, and when I'm sure that,

00:21:46.160 that ruling is going to be appealed and we'll win that appeal because they can't simply,

00:21:50.000 you know, tell federal law enforcement obviously what they can and can't do. So, you know, we'll see

00:21:55.240 that get appealed and we'll win the appeal. But I think courtroom arrest makes sense because it's a safe

00:22:00.380 place, safer for the officer, safer for the community and safer for the alien. When, for 0.98

00:22:06.300 the same reason, I want access to jails, right? If, you know, the sanctuary cities don't give us

00:22:10.840 access to the jails where it'd be safer for the community, safer for the alien, safer for the 1.00

00:22:14.460 officer to arrest somebody in the, in the, in the safety and security of public jail, we know he

00:22:19.060 doesn't have weapons. Instead they want to release them in the public, which is again, creates a public

00:22:23.280 safety issue and it's much more dangerous for the officer and much more dangerous for the alien

00:22:27.460 themselves because anything can happen on a street arrest. So I support what ICE is doing

00:22:31.420 in the courthouse and we're going to continue to do it.

00:22:33.380 This is where I, you know, I'll get a little, a little darker and more serious. There's a question

00:22:37.540 about what's going to happen because we've seen a chain of events, terror attacks on ICE facilities,

00:22:43.100 shooting law enforcement, shooting into vehicles. We know there is motive and intent from these

00:22:48.140 extremists. Now we've seen at this No Kings protest, what appears to be some run of the mill liberal

00:22:53.160 advocating people buy guns to shoot ICE agents. We then have a court, a judge ruling that the ICE

00:22:59.680 facility in, in Broadview, just outside of Chicago, can't have barriers to protect itself. In Portland,

00:23:05.580 when they put wood up on their windows to protect the glass, they got a zoning violation from the city.

00:23:12.000 I fear that there is, whether intentional or otherwise, a combination of factors from extremism

00:23:17.960 bubbling up on the left, as well as the courts obstructing federal law enforcement's ability to protect

00:23:23.500 themselves, which is leading us to a point where there will be an escalation of terror attacks on federal

00:23:29.240 law enforcement. Like the Broadview facility being a very good example of the worst. I mean, in Texas, as you

00:23:36.760 already pointed out, they were shooting at this facility. Now there's a judge saying that in Illinois, where

00:23:42.280 there's riots, they can't protect themselves with these barricades. I think escalation is all but

00:23:48.380 guaranteed, and I don't know how we stop it. Have you guys thought about how to deal with this stuff?

00:23:54.580 I know it's sort of getting into other territories, Trump with the National Guard, but this has me

00:23:58.880 genuinely concerned for the safety of our law enforcement and the community in general.

00:24:02.880 Well, I think President Trump's addressing in several words. First of all, Pam Bondi's a great

00:24:07.640 attorney general. She's going to litigate. You know, she said it herself. These radical judges

00:24:12.200 making decisions that don't consider public safety. They're more political decisions than

00:24:17.140 decisions made on federal law or how the statute reads. But, you know, we got some radical judges,

00:24:24.260 and Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice are taking them on. They're appealing these cases,

00:24:27.500 but that takes a while, like you said. So we're trying to plug a hole until then. What are we doing?

00:24:32.240 We're hardening our facilities to put more security features in their facilities. And you're right.

00:24:36.940 Some of the barriers had to be taken down. But that's one of the main reasons President Trump

00:24:41.080 sent in National Guard. National Guard is not going there to enforce immigration law. They're

00:24:45.020 going there to protect our facilities and protect our officers. So together with the DHS and DOJ and

00:24:51.720 the White House here, we're trying to harden the facilities. We're sending more resources to

00:24:55.760 have a protective layer. Teams are big enough. We just don't have one or two guys going out in the

00:25:00.360 public. The rest of them, we send a whole team that can not only infect an arrest, but while that

00:25:06.800 arrest is being affected, you got officers in the background watching to make sure these officers

00:25:11.400 are safe and looking at a 360 perimeter to make sure the operation goes successfully. So we're

00:25:16.960 stepping up our game to not only protect the officers, but to also send a message we're not

00:25:21.920 stopping. So I think between DOJ, DHS, and White House, we're trying to deal with this as quickly as

00:25:27.100 we can. But the bottom line is DOJ needs to get these appeals on calendar as soon as possible.

00:25:32.280 So I truly believe, look, I'm not a lawyer, but I can read. And I think the vast majority,

00:25:37.400 if not all of them, will be overturned by the Pellet Court, the Supreme Court. We just got to

00:25:41.440 make sure we push that agenda quickly. So I guess, multi-part question, how many

00:25:47.840 illegal immigrants do, I've seen wild estimates for how many illegal immigrants are currently in

00:25:52.940 the country. Is it the mission of ICE and CBP to deport all criminal illegal immigrants,

00:26:00.000 illegal immigrants in general? And do you think you will succeed if that is the criteria for the 0.65

00:26:05.620 mission? Well, we're going to succeed. We already are succeeding. It looks like we'll

00:26:11.320 surpass 600,000 removals the first year of Trump, and that beats the record by 200,000. But look,

00:26:17.940 how will we succeed? Every criminal threat we take out of the community in deport, every national

00:26:21.960 security threat we take out of the community in deport makes this country safer. I don't have a

00:26:27.000 number. But I said this from day one. We're going to prioritize public safety threats and

00:26:32.140 national security threats. And the data shows we're doing it 70% of the time because they're

00:26:36.200 the biggest concern, right? Because of the threats. But if you're in the country illegally, you're not 0.99

00:26:41.180 off the table. You've never been off the table. You never will be off the table because it's not

00:26:45.700 okay to be in this country illegally. It's not okay to cross that border illegally. It is a crime.

00:26:50.580 And the message we can't send to the whole world is enter the country illegally. It's a crime, but

00:26:57.000 don't worry about it. Show up in court or don't show up in court. Get an order removal. Don't worry

00:27:01.900 about it. Unless you commit another crime, no one's looking for you. If that's the message we send the

00:27:07.440 entire world, you're never going to fix this problem. When next administration comes, they're

00:27:11.040 going to keep coming. We got to send the message of consequences. We need to enforce the law. And that's

00:27:16.600 why the CBP home app, there's several thousand removals there already. If you're in the country

00:27:21.540 legally, leave on your own. Give yourself an opportunity in the future to come back under a

00:27:25.220 legal program, visitor's visa, tourist visa, a work authorization, H-1BH, 2A, whatever. Make

00:27:31.640 yourself available to come back because we have to formally deport you, find you, informally remove 0.99

00:27:36.760 you. There's a statutory bar in federal statute, and it was five years to never coming back. So I said

00:27:43.240 it from day one, and I mean it. If you're in the country illegally, you're not off the table. Just 1.00

00:27:47.340 because you prioritize a subset doesn't mean you forget about everybody else. Just last question. I

00:27:53.040 don't know. This might be a little outside of your wheelhouse, but there are concerns and have been

00:27:57.160 for some time about illegal immigrants either voting accidentally, as some might argue about,

00:28:02.980 regardless, voting illegally affecting the outcome of elections, as well as the illegal immigrant

00:28:08.840 population, creating additional congressional seats largely in these sanctuary citizen states.

00:28:14.580 Do you think that, and again, I don't know, maybe it's not your wheels, but is there a potential for

00:28:19.620 these illegal immigrants to affect the midterm elections or our elections in general moving 1.00

00:28:22.820 forward? Look, I think there's been many examples of illegal aliens voting in elections, and it's just a 0.99

00:28:30.760 stone-cold fact. We've uncovered some of it. But you hit on a bigger subject. As I said for a long

00:28:36.500 time, why did the Biden administration release millions of people in the United States when

00:28:40.880 federal law clearly says if you enter a country illegally without proper documentation, you

00:28:45.300 shall be detained? So why weren't they detained? When we had thousands of empty ice beds, already

00:28:51.200 paid for about $127 a night, thousands of beds sitting empty. Why didn't they detain them? Why did

00:28:57.720 they detain them in accordance with federal law? Why did they release an NGO? Well, I'll tell you why.

00:29:03.500 Because if they detain them in a nice facility, they get a hearing within 36, 37 days, somewhere

00:29:09.860 around there. 90% will lose their case because they simply don't qualify for asylum. They get sent

00:29:16.120 home. That's not what they wanted. They know based on 10 years of court data, nearly 9 out of 10 people

00:29:22.280 who claim asylum at their southern border end up with order removal. So they know if they detain them,

00:29:28.800 9 out of 10 will be deported. However, if they release them, they get put on what they call the

00:29:32.500 non-detained document. It takes years. So what are they hoping for? Millions of people they release

00:29:37.120 to sanctuary cities do two things. Number one, maybe a Democratic administration comes in

00:29:44.000 before they'll have hearings and get ordered removed, given amnesty. Now you got millions of

00:29:48.340 what they think future Democratic voters. But on the other hand, when President Biden signed all

00:29:52.920 these executive orders, killing everything we did to create the most secure border on Trump 45,

00:29:57.440 they also overturned the Trump census rule where millions of people in these sanctuary cities now be

00:30:01.260 counted, which results in more seats in house for the Dems. I truly believe they opened the

00:30:05.940 border up and didn't detain this population because they saw a future political benefit.

00:30:10.180 Wow. I really do appreciate you joining me and having a discussion. Is there anything else you

00:30:14.240 wanted to add before we wrap up? That's it. There's a message that ICE isn't going to quit doing

00:30:18.380 what they're doing. God bless the men and women of ICE and Borchow. And if your listeners see one of

00:30:22.720 them out there, shake their hand. Thank them for doing a very dangerous job and making this country safe

00:30:29.500 again. They deserve it. They get so much safe. It'd be nice for people, the American public out

00:30:34.640 to just say, hey, thank you for what you do. We appreciate you.

00:30:37.380 Tom Homan, thank you so much for joining me and providing those insights. We look forward to

00:30:40.840 having you in the future.

00:30:42.360 Thank you, sir. I appreciate you.

00:30:43.840 Take care. Have a good one.

00:30:46.180 That was, of course, the great Tom Homan discussing what they're currently working on and all those

00:30:51.920 insights. And I want to stress something. I've said it before. I'll say it now.

00:30:54.460 You know, look, I've had complaints about bad cops and law enforcement and all that,

00:30:59.460 but I want to stress who we are, where we are this past election. I'll give you a quick bit

00:31:04.160 before we wrap up. We had an election in 2024. Immigration was the either number one or number 1.00

00:31:09.820 two concern. We asked President Donald Trump, take immigration enforcement seriously because

00:31:15.600 Biden went nuts. Well, he is. And we got these guys. Let me show you this. This is, I don't think,

00:31:24.440 this is the National Guard. I see these guys. This is federal officers outside in Portland,

00:31:30.600 Oregon. You know what I think when I see these guys? I think these guys are out here working

00:31:34.740 for me because I asked them to. I see these guys in uniforms. I see them in armor. I see them wearing

00:31:39.900 masks. I see them facing threats from lunatics. And the reality is, I said, Trump, I want you to

00:31:45.500 find a few good men. Ask them to go and enforce the laws passed by Congress that we as the American

00:31:51.660 people want to see enforced. And Trump said, you got it. You vote for me. I'll make that happen.

00:31:55.960 So we did. We voted for Trump. He won the popular vote. These men then volunteered and said,

00:32:01.860 I will put myself in harm's way at the request of the American voter, at my request. So I have

00:32:08.040 tremendous respect for these guys out there. I've been on the ground. I've been tear gassed.

00:32:12.440 I get it. But there is a request we make of law enforcement when we vote, and that is to keep the

00:32:19.440 community safe and enforce the law. And that means it's not always personal. And there are bad cops.

00:32:25.680 Sometimes you might get caught up sometimes, but that's never the intention. The left says you're a

00:32:30.320 bootlicker if you defend cops. I mean, maybe corrupt cops, but I ain't nicking nobody's boot.

00:32:35.940 I asked these guys to be here. So when I say I have requests of you, good sir, and they say,

00:32:44.640 you got it, strap up, put on the armor and go outside, what do I see? A bunch of guys out there

00:32:49.700 on the streets taking risks to themselves because I asked them to, and you did too.

00:32:55.460 Shout out to our federal law enforcement doing this dangerous job facing down these extremist threats.

00:33:00.520 I hope you guys stay safe, and I really do appreciate what you're doing at the request of the

00:33:05.100 American democracy. How about that? Smash the like button, my friends. Share the show with everyone

00:33:12.020 you know. I believe we've got DeVorey Darkins gearing up. He's going live right now. We're

00:33:17.320 going to send you on your way. Man, DeVorey is absolutely fantastic. If you haven't seen his

00:33:20.700 show, you've got to see it. This guy is absolutely amazing. Big fan of the work that he's doing.

00:33:25.360 We'll confirm that, Ray. Follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Join us at the DC Comedy Loft

00:33:31.540 for the Culture War Live. We're going to be there November 8th. We postponed it. Because of the

00:33:36.600 No Kings protest, we pushed it back, but seats go quick. Preferred seating usually evaporates in like

00:33:42.020 the first weekend of sales. And if you want to get there and hang out, we're going to be debating

00:33:45.500 modern dating with Emily Saves America, Myron Gaines, Alex Stein, myself, and we'll be joined by

00:33:51.000 Brian Shapiro, liberal guy, to have this debate. It's fun, always funny. We hope to see you there.

00:33:56.960 Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all tonight for TimCast IRL 8pm.
