Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:00:04.700
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:00:10.680
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:00:16.400
Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:00:20.840
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:00:30.280
On today's podcast, Governor Pritzker was on Stephen Colbert last night.
00:00:35.460
Just wait until you see how he defends Illinois' gerrymandering districts compared to what Texas is trying to do.
00:00:50.400
Now Seattle looks like they're headed towards a female socialist mayor, similar to New York City.
00:00:55.940
She's left the Islamists out of it, but she is hardcore.
00:01:00.880
What major socialist cities will do to our free market country if this trend continues and they're elected.
00:01:09.640
And the one and only Secretary Kristi Noem, just off of her appearance on South Park last night.
00:01:17.380
She joins me today to talk about what's happening in the Department of Homeland Security.
00:01:27.500
You need one to work, to drive, to get through airport security, to survive your kid's soccer schedule.
00:01:33.560
But what is optional is giving your money to a mobile phone company that funds everything you stand against.
00:01:42.180
They send your money to things like Planned Parenthood and anti-police stuff.
00:01:47.900
I mean, radical agendas, abortion lobbies, anti-faith initiatives, politicians who'd strip your rights away.
00:02:00.340
America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:02:05.920
You can activate it minutes from the comfort of your own home.
00:02:08.700
Keep your number, your phone, or upgrade, or both.
00:02:13.600
Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.
00:02:28.560
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:34.660
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:42.400
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:02:45.700
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:56.200
This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:59.700
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:03:15.700
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:23.060
So we have Christy Dome coming on in a little while on the program today.
00:03:27.780
And, you know, I want to talk to her about this new thing where, you know, you don't have to be under 40 to be in Homeland Security anymore.
00:03:38.120
I mean, you don't have to be under, you know, you don't have to be under 40.
00:03:41.140
Uh, and so I thought Stu, I mean, uh, Pat, you and I, we should talk to her about, you know, you and I, I mean, I could grow some like 1970s pork chop, you know, uh, sideburns and one of those seventies mustaches, uh, you know, and get, get it.
00:03:58.740
We could both get a pair of, you know, white Velcro sneakers.
00:04:03.600
You know, I mean, we're at, you know, at 60, I don't know if they still want it at 60, but both of us have a really bad back, but you know, we can do that.
00:04:18.420
Imagine, uh, imagine, uh, imagine all the people that Walmart greeters now that could be members of ICE.
00:04:27.220
So, and you know what, honestly, those Walmart greeters kind of scare the hell out of me.
00:04:31.220
Some of them, you know, you go to Costco and they're like, excuse me, let me look at your receipt.
00:04:41.980
So we have her coming up in, in, uh, just a little while.
00:04:45.760
Uh, did you see JD Prisker, uh, on Stephen Colbert last night?
00:04:54.180
Colbert actually brought up the gerrymandering, which was kind of surprising and showed the gerrymandered
00:05:00.820
map from Illinois, which is, um, interesting to say the least.
00:05:12.380
Then it comes up here and it sneaks around there and goes all the way up here and then goes right over there like that.
00:05:19.100
And look at, look at, look at this one kind of goes up there.
00:05:28.680
Well, we handed it over to a kindergarten class and let them decide.
00:05:32.860
That's the, that's the, the nonpartisan group that does this for you guys.
00:05:40.240
I mean, look, uh, because all states to a certain extent do this.
00:05:45.180
Why is what Texas doing particular egregious in this case?
00:05:48.660
Well, here every 10 years, we do a census in this country and right after the census, we
00:05:54.440
redraw districts in every state, but what the Republicans are trying to do in the Texas
00:05:58.740
Republicans, frankly, at the behest of Donald Trump are doing it mid decade.
00:06:12.880
Uh, not a problem, but we're doing it mid mid decade.
00:06:18.300
Oh, cause that's, that's when we usually do things that the, the, after the census, except
00:06:23.780
this census has been shown to be flawed over and over and over again.
00:06:28.040
This census, it was really a weird thing to, I mean, Pat, you know, you had Texas, uh,
00:06:37.180
I think Arkansas, Oklahoma, you had all those states under, underrepresented, undercounted.
00:06:46.040
And then you had all of these, uh, these, uh, uh, blue states, they were overcounted, which
00:07:01.600
And they were counting, uh, illegals and, you know, there are some that say we shouldn't
00:07:08.860
President Trump is one of those people who says next time we're not going to count illegal
00:07:15.740
That'll be interesting to take the number that we had and subtract the number we come
00:07:21.780
up with the next time where illegals aren't counted and maybe get a sense for how many
00:07:30.700
I mean, can you imagine how many house seats would be lost in California?
00:07:50.220
We don't, we don't really know, but it would be fascinating to find out one day.
00:07:57.720
I wonder if, if we ever, you know, if we ever will, um, you know, did you see what's
00:08:06.600
Where there's a new, a female Zeron Mondani running for mayor?
00:08:19.140
And I mean, Mondani could very well be a female as well.
00:08:24.900
So, so there's this, uh, this, this new Mondani, uh, now there's a Somali, uh, that is a socialist
00:08:38.620
You now have this, I mean, they had a, you know, social Democrat as a mayor in, uh, Seattle.
00:08:48.220
Apparently this one's, that wasn't, that wasn't, they, they weren't strong enough.
00:08:52.640
This one is really militant, uh, and, uh, and an activist and, you know, they, they set
00:09:00.640
up this, uh, uh, ranked voting and apparently she's winning in the ranked voting.
00:09:07.280
So she, she's now the candidate, uh, for the election this fall in Seattle.
00:09:16.300
I, I, it seems to me that we are a country that is, uh, is leaning towards socialism on
00:09:22.900
some, in some of these States and some of these cities.
00:09:28.200
I mean, how are you going to manage, uh, a capitalist society when you have socialist,
00:09:40.160
And, and she, by the way, she's even more radical on the cops than what they've had
00:09:44.660
She, she wants to replace the cops with, you know, I don't know, doctors, uh, you
00:09:51.360
know, psychiatrists, psychiatrists, you know, she wants, she wants that approach, not putting
00:09:58.340
Can you imagine what Seattle will be like if she wins?
00:10:05.160
Now, New York city, Minneapolis, Seattle, you've got that, uh, screw ball in South Portland,
00:10:10.700
It's happening all over the place and not just in large cities either.
00:10:17.920
Uh, it's, I don't think I've heard of the South Portland, Maine mayor.
00:10:23.140
Um, we've got so many radicals and I, I think part of the problem is, you know, we've had
00:10:29.340
radicals in our education system, teaching our kids who are now adults and they've been
00:10:36.260
And they, uh, have been taught that capitalism is evil.
00:10:41.440
You're seeing that all over the internet now, how evil capitalism is and how it's the root
00:10:48.920
And you've got these influencers who are screaming about it on their dumb podcasts.
00:10:55.680
And so they just believe the capitalism is wrong and evil and contributing to all of societal
00:11:07.500
Uh, well, what I like though, is the mixture of socialist, communist and Islamist.
00:11:14.660
When you get the Islamianist, that's the perfect blend, isn't it?
00:11:24.740
This is a, uh, a Muslim sheik, uh, sheik Asim al-Kahim.
00:11:31.540
Uh, he says that, uh, well, I'll let him speak for himself.
00:11:37.020
If you sell a slave, now one would say slavery is banned.
00:11:42.500
I said, yes, it's banned, but slavery was there and slavery is not something that Muslims
00:11:51.060
should be ashamed of because people think that, oh, Islam promotes slavery.
00:11:59.380
There is only one means of having slavery, and that is through capturing of prisoners
00:12:13.260
So if someone attacks my country, I, with the army, defend my country and we get prisoners
00:12:37.020
This, this believer who was an enemy of Islam, I can execute him and get it over with.
00:12:43.200
But what I'm giving him is an honest and decent life by living in our houses and looking at
00:12:48.980
we, at how we treat them and looking at how we worship Allah Azza wa Jal.
00:12:53.620
This would make them accept Islam voluntary because there is no compulsion in religion.
00:12:58.580
And that is why the Prophet said in the authentic hadith, I am astonished, I am amazed of people
00:13:16.580
The Prophet is giving us a metaphor because these prisoners of war, they were enslaved.
00:13:23.280
So they were in chains and these chains made them accept Islam and hence enter paradise as if they were dragged into it.
00:13:40.260
Islam, you know, people say that Islam promotes slavery, but there's only one kind of slavery that is okay.
00:13:49.120
Now, that itself was kind of a, huh, moment for me because I always thought, no, there's no reason that slavery is okay.
00:14:08.360
Uh, you're, you're, you're a prisoner of war and, uh, you know, you can convert to Islam or you can be a slave, but you're going to want to convert to Islam because you're going to see how, how good Islam is, how we live our life, you know, and all of the benefits.
00:14:26.660
I think maybe a lot of it from slaves, um, but, uh, all of the benefits that we have.
00:14:32.580
And you're going to say, you know what, if that's the way they're living their life, I want to be a part of that.
00:14:42.220
It seemed like the other alternative to converting other than slavery is that you can also be executed.
00:14:49.040
So you could die, you could convert, or you could be a slave.
00:15:04.540
Uh, but that's not, I'm not, I'm not forcing you, but you have that still choose.
00:15:09.800
You have that wonderful third option of slavery.
00:15:20.240
And I'm so glad that in Minneapolis, you guys are starting to embrace this.
00:15:25.100
You know, you're like, oh, you know, we haven't really given the Islamist a chance, uh, to, you know, to see how this works out.
00:15:36.820
You know, somebody who's like, you know, death to all Jews.
00:15:40.520
Uh, and apparently also for slavery, but only in very specific, I mean, New York, you'll still have the chance to convert, you know?
00:15:57.080
They're not going to, they're not going to force you.
00:16:08.240
Cause there's this book that I read one time, uh, and towards the end, it talks about how you're going to be beheaded if you don't accept the mark.
00:16:15.300
And, and, uh, and I can't remember what that is, but there's, it's in some book.
00:16:27.000
Especially if you're on a, in Australia, because, uh, there is a new queer religion in Australia.
00:16:35.920
I only started thinking I might as well start a religion when Trump stood for election, because I thought if you can get elected as a president of the United States, then I can found my own religion.
00:16:51.680
In the form of a queer, insurrectionary, science fiction, climate change religion.
00:17:01.800
It's sorrowful, meaningful, incredibly hot, artistic, and heartistic.
00:17:13.920
It has become something completely different and offering, I guess, our idea or a better way.
00:17:20.680
I really wanted creation to be full of purposeful hysteria and pleasure and poetry and sexiness.
00:17:44.060
Is that brimstone I see coming down from the sky?
00:17:54.700
But they haven't taken any prisoners of war yet, so we'll see.
00:17:59.720
Let me talk to you about people coming in or things coming in without proper paperwork or falsified papers.
00:18:13.120
Last year alone, thousands of tons of foreign meat was imported.
00:18:17.680
Meat that was then labeled product of USA, which, you know, I mean, we need to build a wall just for the meat that is coming in.
00:18:29.480
What that means is to our government is that it may have been packaged here in America.
00:18:39.000
I was worried about the meat, not the Saran wrap.
00:18:41.620
Good Rancher sells a hundred percent American meat born right here, raised here, processed here.
00:18:52.540
USA beef, chicken, and seafood delivered straight to your door.
00:19:02.440
You'll get $40 off your purchase plus free meat for life.
00:19:07.040
Promo code Glenn, $40 off plus free meat for life.
00:19:10.520
When you start a new subscription at good ranchers.com.
00:19:27.100
Pat Gray is joining us, filling in for Stu, who is on vacation for a couple of days.
00:19:34.380
Clothing retailer American Eagles new advertising campaign just hit an unexpected obstacle.
00:19:41.300
As a federal judge ordered actress Sydney Sweeney to gain a hundred pounds
00:19:51.140
Of course, this is breaking for the Babylon Bee.
00:19:53.780
I was going to say, it's got to be the Babylon Bee.
00:20:01.260
Judge Eileen Bauer, an Obama appointee to a D.C. area district court, issued the emergency ruling
00:20:08.900
that Sweeney's attractiveness violated the law and demanded that she pack on the weight
00:20:13.800
to become as visually unappealing to consumers as possible.
00:20:17.920
This type of brazen attractiveness cannot be allowed to stand, she wrote.
00:20:24.860
It is fun to see the absolute hysteria over this jeans ad that, I don't know, 10 years ago,
00:20:34.960
You know, but five years ago, it wouldn't have been done.
00:20:43.360
Where do you think this movement jumped the shark?
00:20:52.720
But the American people are showing they're done with this.
00:20:58.440
And I was thinking about it, Stu and I were talking about it earlier this week, and there's
00:21:04.540
I mean, I think the most obvious is the Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney.
00:21:16.280
The other really big one lately was the Jaguar commercial.
00:21:25.680
Uh, and, and, and that one just didn't, that one was just that to me, that was a sign.
00:21:38.420
There was big controversy, but, and that was the moment where I think the right or, you
00:21:44.480
know, right thinking Americans, I don't mean that about anything other than, can you just
00:21:53.400
Stop making a, a, a political or social point on everything you do.
00:22:01.480
Um, I think that was the moment where people just stood up and said, I'm just sick of it.
00:22:06.200
But Jaguar was the moment where it just was, I think, proclaimed dead on arrival.
00:22:15.980
But when you, when people saw, uh, a bunch of people who were, I guess, non-binary, dressed
00:22:23.400
bizarrely, doing nothing but sitting and standing around, and you don't even show your product
00:22:31.600
Uh, I think people, yeah, I think they're just done with it.
00:22:34.420
And that's why their sales were decreased by 98 and a half percent in one year, 98, 98.5%
00:22:42.660
They went from selling about 2000 Jaguars a month in Europe to 49.
00:22:49.420
What is, I've never seen anything like it possible reason.
00:22:53.880
Well, they, they also, I think are messing with the electric situation too.
00:22:59.560
They're, they were planning to completely, uh, transition to all electric vehicles and
00:23:09.660
So a lot of companies were doing that and a lot of companies have failed in that endeavor.
00:23:15.800
You go all the way from Chevy, uh, to Jaguar, Bentley.
00:23:20.540
I mean, you would expect a, a company like Bentley to come out with a great version of
00:23:26.500
their, their electric versions are in the shop.
00:23:30.200
I mean, within days of being off the showroom floor, it's just, it's killing these companies
00:23:41.120
By the way, have you been reading about the Genesis, the, uh, the, the car Genesis?
00:23:48.240
They're the ones that always look like the Bentley.
00:23:51.860
Well, they've obviously tried to rip off the, the Bentley logo.
00:23:55.600
I don't, I don't even know how they got away with it.
00:23:57.480
Cause it does look, especially from a distance.
00:24:00.920
So what is amazing to me is, uh, I'm reading about it.
00:24:05.360
I mean, remember this is, this is Kia, isn't it?
00:24:12.040
And 10 years ago, Hyundai wanted to make a luxury car and you know, the people rightfully
00:24:18.340
said, you're Hyundai, you'll never get past Hyundai.
00:24:24.080
And they said, well, we want to make a luxury brand.
00:24:28.740
And if you watch it over the last 10 years, it has gotten better and better every year.
00:24:34.160
Um, but they went out and they hired the best German engineers.
00:24:38.600
They hired people from, uh, from, uh, BMW and Mercedes.
00:24:44.380
Uh, they may have taken somebody from Bentley Volkswagen, uh, and, uh, and, uh, Audi and
00:24:52.140
brought them over to design and, and, uh, car and driver, I think it was car and driver
00:24:56.980
road and track, uh, has just done a review of their latest and said for, is it maybe 90,000
00:25:04.680
or a hundred thousand dollars, they say it surpasses the Mercedes and is as close to a
00:25:11.380
Bentley as you can get for a hundred thousand dollars.
00:25:21.140
If it's better, saying something, if it's better than the same class of Mercedes for a hundred
00:25:26.500
thousand dollars, it costs you twice, it costs you twice the amount of money.
00:25:36.320
And so, I mean, if you can get into, into a great class for around a hundred thousand
00:25:41.320
dollars, that changes everything that changes everything for them.
00:25:45.580
And, uh, you know, I just wish it was an American company that would be nice like that.
00:25:50.240
But, uh, anyway, uh, the largest NYPD graduating class since 2016 has taken the stage at Madison
00:26:08.860
Now, I'm wondering if you're going to be regretting that career choice in, let's say coming November,
00:26:17.100
December, or at least January of next year when Mondani is your new mayor.
00:26:22.560
Cause that is not going to go well for the New York police department, a mom, Donnie, uh, mayoral, uh, term.
00:26:30.420
No, it won't be good for the guy who wants to defund the police.
00:26:35.900
That's going to hit that city in so many different ways if they don't come to their senses.
00:26:39.780
And have you seen, I mean, even, even liberals now are saying they've got to move out.
00:26:45.940
They've got to move out because they just don't trust that things just not going to implode.
00:26:52.920
If he can do half of the stuff, can you imagine just going grocery shopping in two years in New York city?
00:27:01.120
If you don't have the police that you would have, if you continue and further the, you know, catch and release kind of, uh, atmosphere.
00:27:12.260
If you're taxing all of the big businesses and the big corporations out of business, so they can't stay there anymore.
00:27:18.640
So you'll have all these empty buildings and it'll be a ghost town.
00:27:21.840
And then on top of it, you have city run grocery stores for nonprofit.
00:27:28.020
You, it is going to be a hell hole, a hell hole.
00:27:33.540
The efficiency of the DMV coming to your local grocery store is such an exciting possibility.
00:27:48.640
I mean, you know, there are some States where the DMV is not as bad as it is in most, uh, blue States.
00:28:01.400
But I've never been to a state where I'm like, man, the, this is great department of motor vehicles.
00:28:09.460
The whole experience was like going to Disneyland.
00:28:14.460
I was the government screws it up every single time.
00:28:20.220
I was really surprised to see that they had tried this in a Kansas city suburb where they had a public grocery store.
00:28:30.380
And it's been so bad that it's about to go out of business.
00:28:38.560
And it was fairly popular at first because, you know, the prices were lower.
00:28:43.580
Uh, then all of a sudden, uh, they had no selection there and they were out of items and, uh, the prices increased and you got shortages and you can't get what you need at that grocery store.
00:28:56.900
Wonder why that now imagine, imagine if all the grocery stores were like that.
00:29:01.440
And then imagine what happens to the employees that can't be fired, uh, who are working at the grocery store when you're like, Hey, you know, you guys are out of milk.
00:29:11.880
When are you, when are you going to get any milk?
00:29:13.540
And you're kind of a little upset because, you know, it's a government run grocery store.
00:29:17.540
And I was promised all kinds of wonderful things.
00:29:21.800
Imagine the attitude from the government employee who you can't blame for anything.
00:29:33.540
So there's nobody that had to be held responsible.
00:29:39.580
And then if you decide, well, we're going to boycott, boycott all you want.
00:29:44.320
We're, we're going to, you know, we're going to march in the street.
00:29:49.520
You mean the same press that is helping Mondami do this right now?
00:29:56.780
The entire system of the free world breaks down when you start to encroach on the free market.
00:30:05.800
It all breaks down and you're seeing it break down right now.
00:30:09.120
You know, our biggest problem I contend is the press.
00:30:12.620
Can you imagine if there wasn't, uh, if there wasn't internet media now, if there wasn't the blaze, if there wasn't Megyn Kelly, if there wasn't the daily wire, you know, if, if, if John Solomon still had to report it through the New York times or the Washington post, imagine how much would not be covered.
00:30:36.620
How much you would just stand around going, is it just me?
00:30:42.940
I mean, that, that was one of the first things that changed when I went to, when I went to Fox, you have to remember people were not doing the kinds of shows on cable news.
00:30:54.480
And I have for quite a few years, people were not doing shows the way they're doing shows.
00:31:00.080
Now, nobody was coming out with opinions the way I was coming out with opinions and, and tying the news together and then saying, and this is what it means.
00:31:09.820
And then talking directly to the audience, remember the first thing that I did was the nine 12 project.
00:31:22.280
Um, because everybody was asking at the time, is it just me?
00:31:26.780
That's because there was no press that was reporting anything.
00:31:33.700
Imagine what it will be like in New York city, how alone you will feel because there won't be
00:31:39.800
anybody reporting on the truth of what's going on, at least in mainstream media.
00:31:45.620
By the way, uh, if you feel alone in DC, Donald Trump says he might deploy the national guard in DC because violent crime is through the roof there.
00:31:55.580
And so, you know, the president has the right to do that.
00:31:58.700
The district of Columbia, it might have a mayor and a city council, but it is actually run, uh, by Congress.
00:32:05.880
It gets all of its funding from Congress for the city, et cetera, et cetera.
00:32:09.060
So the federal government can step in, in, uh, Washington DC.
00:32:14.220
And they are considering, cause not only is crime out of control in DC, but mental illness is out of control.
00:32:24.360
And I know you're like, well, of course the main asylum is there on the Hill.
00:32:31.360
The mental illness on the street is truly unlike anything I have seen, uh, in the nation's capital.
00:32:46.560
I've seen it in San Francisco, but I have not seen it in the nation's capital to this degree.
00:32:57.680
Uh, and unfortunately, you know, they'll, they'll say, oh, see, he just wants to use the national
00:33:04.040
Well, you know, you kind of put yourself into a situation to where you have to have the federal
00:33:09.160
government bring in the national guard because your local government won't do anything about it.
00:33:15.940
Because you keep voting crazy people in hello, New York.
00:33:21.660
If you vote for this kind of stuff, your crime goes out of, out of control.
00:33:27.440
I mean, this was, I mean, top down, bottom up, inside out.
00:33:30.600
This is what I've been preaching here for about 15 years.
00:33:35.460
Make the city so out of control that the feds have to come in and put a giant foot on everybody.
00:33:47.860
And you've designed the system to do exactly that.
00:33:52.800
We don't have one of those architects at the top.
00:33:56.760
We have a guy who's just saying crime has got to stop.
00:33:59.960
As soon as you clean it up, we'll pull the national guard out like he did in Los Angeles.
00:34:05.460
Uh, but the others, the designers of this whole inside out, you know, bottom, bottom down, top up, uh, or top down, bottom up kind of stuff.
00:34:15.700
They don't ever want to take their foot off of, uh, the necks of citizens.

00:34:35.580
First of all, thank you for the, the shoe thing.
00:34:41.760
That was like the first thing when I got here, uh, said to TSA, I'm like, I think the shoe thing is made up.
00:34:48.900
I'm not sure our technology hasn't evolved enough where we don't have to take our shoes off anymore.
00:34:53.900
So they, they, um, ran the security protocols and made sense.
00:34:58.960
And we're continuing to evaluate everything TSA does.
00:35:01.820
And it, you know, hospitality needs to be a part of this equation too.
00:35:05.300
I think so many people that encounter our security checkpoints just wonder, is this necessary?
00:35:14.060
I mean, I don't, I don't think a lot of it is necessary, at least the way that we're, we're doing it.
00:35:18.640
I mean, you, you, I know you've seen the numbers.
00:35:24.180
One of them that has the private security is, is better than the government run security.
00:35:29.300
I mean, yeah, so we've got, um, I think 16 or 18 airports now that have private security
00:35:37.380
So, um, we're, we're continuing to evaluate that at every location and implement it where
00:35:43.000
If we think it's, um, more, uh, better protocols for security, but also works better for the
00:35:49.300
My vision is that at some point we get to, you walk in the door of the airport with your
00:35:53.860
carry on suitcase, you walk through a scanner, pulling your suitcase and go right to your
00:35:58.220
And that technology is available and out there, but, uh, we just need to get it updated and
00:36:07.580
Um, first of all, you're removing the age limits for new applications to join ice.
00:36:15.180
I'd like, I mean, does that mean somebody like me, I can have the Velcro shoes and I can
00:36:24.560
They're still going to have to pass the physical test, Glenn.
00:36:26.660
I'm sorry, but there will be a physical exam and training and all that.
00:36:30.940
But yes, we do want, we want some of these folks that retired from law enforcement under
00:36:35.260
the Biden administration, uh, frustrated, maybe former border patrol, former federal
00:36:40.260
officers that weren't allowed to do their jobs before to come back and to be a part of
00:36:44.040
literally saving America and saving these communities and cities that have been so victimized by
00:36:49.260
the crime and drugs of these illegal criminals that have been out there attacking their families.
00:36:56.040
We have 10,000 new officers that we received funding from in the big, beautiful bill that
00:37:04.260
And we have already had over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions.
00:37:09.320
So we're, we're rolling through that and getting them through the process to see if
00:37:15.880
But what I like about that the most, Glenn, is the fact that, you know, the media and the
00:37:21.680
socialists and Marxists have done nothing more than try to demonize our ICE officers.
00:37:26.980
And to see that kind of response in less than a week just shows that the American people
00:37:31.660
stand with the rule of law, that they want to help and they want to be a part of this.
00:37:36.420
And so that in itself has been so encouraging to ICE, just to see that people want to join
00:37:43.400
Now people on the left are saying that, uh, you know, you're turning ICE into a teenage
00:37:52.660
Um, but that's, you know, I'm shocked every day by the amount of stories that we have to
00:38:00.640
And so there will be so many stories shared, so many things said, so many narratives that
00:38:05.900
we spend half of our time over here at the department of Homeland security saying that's
00:38:13.000
You know, just even making up anecdotal stories about families that just never even happened.
00:38:20.640
I mean, when you're taking on somebody like mom, Donnie, and they're, they're accusing
00:38:28.360
Um, you know, kidnapping, when you start planting things like they're just pulling up in unmarked
00:38:35.780
trucks and they're wearing masks because they're Nazis and they're just kidnapping people off
00:38:41.780
You are telling people you have a reason and a license to stop these people with any means
00:38:53.560
Well, and, and we just got this morning, the notification that attacks on ICE officers
00:38:59.280
is up by over a thousand percent than what it was six months ago.
00:39:04.100
So, you know, because those politicians and those, um, you know, extremists talk that way.
00:39:11.820
I mean, I tell people, I've said this my whole life, words have consequences.
00:39:17.080
And the consequences of using dangerous language like that is that people take action on them.
00:39:21.640
Anybody who has a tendency to be unstable or to be violent, that almost gives them permission
00:39:27.200
to go out there and take action against these individuals who all these guys just, you know,
00:39:31.880
they don't, they're not picking and choosing winners or deciding who the law applies to.
00:39:36.440
They're just doing their job, upholding the law, and they want to go home at night to their
00:39:40.700
So this is what amazes me that you're getting 80 or 90,000 applicants when you have these
00:39:47.740
radicals putting, um, wanted posters up of people in their own neighborhoods.
00:39:54.700
I mean, just as, I mean, as a dad, I don't know if I could put my family in danger.
00:40:00.840
Um, and you know what, I mean, how are we, what are we going to do to stop this kind of stuff?
00:40:07.840
Well, uh, we are going to keep doing our job no matter what.
00:40:11.360
And we're building special operations teams to handle the situations we face out on the streets.
00:40:16.220
And one of the things when we're in these communities, and that's why I've spent so much
00:40:20.500
time with our agents and officers, because I want to know what they go through when they run
00:40:24.040
these ops and it's amazing to me when we're out on the street in New York city or in the Bronx or in
00:40:30.380
LA, you're, you're, you're running, you're doing a operation in an apartment where you have a
00:40:36.840
warrant and you're, but people are walking by taking their kids to school or they're, you know,
00:40:45.340
We have lived with this for years and our mayor, our governor won't do anything.
00:40:50.840
So people are overwhelmingly, and I, that's what I tell our ACE officers all the time is
00:40:54.960
you're not all over the country like I am, or out in these communities as much with the
00:41:00.120
different components under your home on screen, but overwhelmingly people say, thank you.
00:41:05.360
So I, I think that what happens so much in this country is the extremists are loud and
00:41:10.020
the normal people just go to work and keep their heads down.
00:41:12.980
But we just have to be vocal about our support.
00:41:18.800
Like I'm encouraging people that are hardworking everyday Americans to be bold about saying,
00:41:26.100
I support what they're doing to arrest these rapists and these murderers.
00:41:30.360
I mean, just this last couple of days, we've arrested dozens and dozens of sexual predators,
00:41:35.640
You should see these cases that we've built against these individuals from Honduras and from
00:41:40.060
Mexico, and they're not, they're here illegally.
00:41:45.320
They're, they're, and they're, they're raping people and murdering them.
00:41:48.160
We had ones that have been arrested two or three times and released by their city and
00:41:55.920
And then we end up, they end up killing someone in a drunk driving accident or assaulting someone.
00:42:01.100
And then we finally get the chance to, to incarcerate them when we pick them up before the locals
00:42:05.900
Cause if the locals do and they're a sanctuary city, they don't honor our detainers.
00:42:12.160
So let me ask you, this might be unfair cause I don't know if this falls under Homeland security
00:42:16.180
at all, but you know, we had, uh, uh, Delia Ramirez and Ilan Omar has done it too.
00:42:22.380
Um, declare that they're, they are more, you know, they feel more, uh, akin to Somalia or
00:42:41.600
The department of justice would make that determination.
00:42:46.420
And if you had an officer that said that, I mean, I'm assuming your ice officers take an oath to the
00:42:54.280
If, if, if they had, would you consider that a fireable offense?
00:43:02.960
And when we, uh, I've used every authority, there's been, there's expansive authorities
00:43:09.580
And I tell people consistently, the department of Homeland security, I have the authority over
00:43:13.960
every person in this country that leaves this country or comes into this country.
00:43:17.940
We have the authority over every, um, product or good that is in this country or leaves this
00:43:24.840
And we also have jurisdiction over the internet.
00:43:27.220
So what is said and done, what is a security concern and what is communicated and protecting
00:43:32.500
our critical infrastructure, but also how bad actors would wish to do us harm.
00:43:38.440
So the, the authorities there I have, and I've been using when these specific situations where
00:43:44.400
we have people who don't love America, I will use polygraphs.
00:43:48.020
I will use the authority that I have to find out that if you're going to be in this federal
00:43:52.720
government, where our mission and our oath is to protect this country, you're not going
00:43:57.640
to be allowed to be here if that is not truly where your efforts go every single day.
00:44:03.140
So those members of Congress, I, I was, I've, you know, I don't sleep much.
00:44:07.900
And when I'm laying there thinking about it at night, I just think they must, is that our
00:44:12.540
poor education system, that we didn't spend enough time in, in our schools, teaching the
00:44:17.720
constitution, teaching the declaration of independence, the fact that how hard this country
00:44:22.040
was fought for and why it was established and that we facilitate where someone can actually
00:44:27.580
get elected to a high office like that and say something like that.
00:44:34.400
That's, I think it's a ripple effect of, I think many years of neglect.
00:44:39.040
Yeah, I, I think I used to believe it was just neglect and it might've been at first,
00:44:46.980
It's not just what they're being left, what's being left out.
00:44:49.380
They're actively being taught to hate the country, uh, at, at this, uh, at this point, let
00:44:56.200
Um, SCOTUS, if they rule against, uh, birthright citizenship, the president Trump's order, will
00:45:04.680
And we have always respected federal rulings and, and we'll do so.
00:45:09.020
I, I think that would, I don't know when that ruling's expected for sure, but, um, that would
00:45:14.640
be a very consequential ruling that we would have to figure out how to handle and deal with.
00:45:22.460
Do you agree with SCOTUS that, uh, illegal aliens have some due process rights and why or
00:45:29.760
I do, uh, but I, I do believe due process looks different according to the law and according
00:45:36.760
So most people, when they think of due process, don't do their homework and research to really
00:45:41.420
understand that it's not a guarantee of a hearing or an in-person presentation in front
00:45:46.300
of a judge, or, uh, the due process looks very different for an illegal alien that's in
00:45:55.200
And we have always afforded every single illegal illegal that's in this country, uh, due process
00:46:03.060
There's not been an instance where, um, ice or immigration officials haven't done so.
00:46:09.840
Tom Homan told me months ago, he said, there's several phases of, of this.
00:46:14.360
What phase are we in and, and, and how many phases do we have or, or where are we in the
00:46:23.400
Well, I asked president Trump for this job, um, because I knew he was going to have to
00:46:30.220
have someone that was actually tough enough to do it, but tough enough to do it for a
00:46:36.400
long period of time that wasn't going to say, you know, this is a six month operation and
00:46:43.080
then we're going to soften and get ready for midterms.
00:46:46.680
You know, I knew he needed somebody that could sustain this because what, what Joe Biden broke
00:46:52.800
by allowing this invasion can't be undone overnight.
00:47:01.300
We have funding, uh, through the reconciliation bill to sustain it for the next four years.
00:47:06.380
And we will, and it will only get stronger and stronger and, and bigger.
00:47:14.200
And we are going after the worst of the worst and those criminals that are killing Americans
00:47:23.520
But I mean, overwhelmingly I've been to, I think 11 or 12 different countries in central
00:47:28.940
and South America, negotiating security agreements and sharing of information on criminals and
00:47:35.720
And talking with those presidents of those countries and sitting down with their leadership,
00:47:41.360
They're telling me that hundreds and hundreds of thousands of their people have already come
00:47:46.440
That just because we've been so strong on the messaging, the commercials, the CECOT videos
00:47:51.720
have convinced people that we're in this country illegally.
00:47:56.020
And then I have a chance to go back to America the right way.
00:47:58.960
And I think the president of Mexico and her team were telling me, they believe that 500,000
00:48:04.980
Mexicans have just voluntarily came home that may not even be on our radar that we haven't
00:48:10.680
counted because they didn't come home through our app or through our systems.
00:48:13.600
And I was just, uh, in Ecuador and, um, Chile and Argentina, the same conversations there.
00:48:21.880
So I do believe we're making a big difference, even in just our messaging that people that were
00:48:26.420
here illegally understand that they should go home on their own first.
00:48:30.200
And then, um, we need to figure out if they're given the advantage to come back to this country,
00:48:38.780
I imagine you were, you're far more busy than, uh, than I ever have been.
00:48:42.720
But I remember when I, uh, when South Park did an episode and I Cartman played me the whole
00:48:51.300
It took me about a year before even, I didn't even know it happened, uh, until like maybe a
00:48:57.400
Um, and, uh, I, I ended up years later watching it with my son and we both laughed over it.
00:49:08.340
I was, uh, I was going over, um, budget numbers and stuff, but you know, I just think it's,
00:49:14.020
um, yeah, it, it never ends, but it's so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for
00:49:24.080
That's if they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that.
