00:03:20.600You couldn't call the quote-unquote migrants invaders.
00:03:24.660Right now, with an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants having crossed the border by the time President Biden is in office for a full year,
00:03:36.140what is that if that's not an invasion?
00:03:38.320No, Lou, look, you and I have discussed this.
00:06:19.380And look at the statistics that you just rattled off, 100,000 drug overdoses, of which we know the overwhelming majority of drugs enter this country through the southwest border.
00:06:29.120They don't stay on border towns and city and states.
00:06:31.720They hit the highways, and they make their way to every major metropolitan city, killing American citizens every single day.
00:06:37.500For all we know, those drugs are being transported on the aircraft that the Biden administration chartered for the very purpose of distributing those illegal immigrants all over the country and usually flying them by night to their destinations, literally anywhere in this country.
00:06:57.400It is a remarkable statement on the part of this administration that he will do anything necessary to make certain that illegal immigrants are put first, not American citizens.
00:07:13.380Yeah, Lou, and look, and I agree to that.
00:07:15.220After 35 years, look, I know border security.
00:07:19.660What they're doing makes no sense except for the fact that they see a perceived political benefit, right?
00:07:25.640So they believe that every illegal alien they find a pathway to citizenship is going to equate to a Democratic vote.
00:07:31.980They believe through the census, because now illegal aliens are included, part of the census, is that they could get a bump up in house seats.
00:07:39.940The other thing that we see in this administration that I haven't seen in other administrations, and I've served for six of them, both Republican and Democrat, is the amount of ideologues that are embedded in this administration.
00:07:51.420That all they care about is pursuing their personal ideology.
00:07:54.600They don't care about the second- or third-order effects or how it impacts our ability to secure our border and safeguard our country.
00:08:00.460All they care about is pursuing and achieving their ideology.
00:08:04.480You combine that with their political appointees, their only concern with political power, this is why we have open borders in the catastrophe that we see right now.
00:08:11.960The latest example, two vehicles shot at, filled with Russian illegal immigrants crossing the California border with Mexico.
00:08:27.080We're talking about Russian illegal immigrants.
00:08:29.420I believe that the largest group now coming into the country, and please correct me if I'm wrong, are actually Chinese nationals coming into this country.
00:09:07.340And that's why we say it's beyond impacting our public safety and health.
00:09:11.380It's also impacting our national security.
00:09:13.940Look, this year, what you won't hear from this administration, you won't hear from CBP,
00:09:17.380because data Secretary Mayorkas won't allow them, is Border Patrol apprehended over 14 illegal aliens that were on the FBI's terror screening database.
00:10:56.520Yeah, Lou, again, I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:11:00.320What we've seen is a complete transformation since President Biden took over is that, that, you know,
00:11:05.260President Trump said something early on that, that all President Biden had to do was step out of the way,
00:11:10.120go to the beach when it came to border security, illegal immigration,
00:11:13.360and we would have continued to strengthen our border and been more effective at safeguarding and protecting this country.
00:11:19.000Instead, what he did was he let the Ivy Laws and political appointees take over.
00:11:22.820They've pushed aside the career officials, the career employees, they dismissed them.
00:11:28.400And now it's a political appointees that are setting policy and really running the organizations.
00:11:33.240That's why we're in the position we're in right now.
00:11:36.160They're not listening to the career officials who, as you said, they know what to do.
00:11:40.860You talked about the intelligence apparatus.
00:11:42.820The CVP has a robust intelligence capability, just like ICE within HSI, the Homeland Security Investigations.
00:11:50.200They know what they need to do, but they're being prevented.
00:11:53.080DHS Secretary Mayorkas, the chief architect of the Open Border Policies,
00:11:56.700he has basically eliminated 95 percent of ICE's enforcement authorities.
00:12:02.200He's actually told them not to enforce the law.
00:12:04.440He's actually created a new law that actually creates a sanctuary country and prohibits ICE from doing their job to arrest and deport illegal immigrants.
00:13:05.560And that's why we say, look, 2022 matters, but that's not going to solve it.
00:13:10.660Look, Congress is still going to be limited, right?
00:13:12.880I mean, they may be able to do some things through appropriations and funding to slow some things down,
00:13:18.020but they're not going to be able to stop the secretary from enacting more outrageous, reckless, irresponsible policy,
00:13:24.880or this president opening our borders even wider and encouraging more illegal immigration through executive orders.
00:13:31.780And so 2022 matters, but today matters.
00:13:34.600Like you said, I believe right now every day that goes by there's irreparable harm being caused in the United States.
00:13:40.060The individuals that are being allowed in right now, they're not going to be deported under this administration.
00:13:45.740The harm being done, our borders are going to remain open.
00:13:48.380That's why we need states to step up and not just border states.
00:13:51.960We need interior states to step up and join Governor DeSantis, to join Governor Abbott, to join Arizona,
00:13:59.020to do this in a collective way to stand up and push back and fill the gaps and voids that are being left by this administration's failure to enforce the law and secure our borders.
00:14:06.600And with that said, who is joining Abbott, DeSantis, a handful of other governors?
00:14:45.920And look, let's go and look, the governors and the AGs, they have the ability to do this.
00:14:51.380Look, multiple states have joined in together as a class action to push back against mask mandates.
00:14:59.960But yet we don't have the same AGs and the same governors joining with respect to the catastrophe that we're seeing on the southwest border,
00:15:09.320that every day is jeopardizing our public health, safety, and national security.
00:15:14.140Look, we have the Remain in Mexico program, a lawsuit.
00:15:17.200Finally, we had Texas and Missouri that joined together, and they won.
00:15:22.100And they forced the administration to reinstate the MPP, the Remain in Mexico program.
00:15:27.580What was good about that was not only substantively did they win and said, hey, this was an effective program,
00:15:33.440but what it illustrated is that Missouri, an interior state, showed standing and showed facts of how their state was being negatively impacted by the catastrophe at the southwest border.
00:15:46.480Well, the Justice Department is interested, apparently, in classifying concerned parents who stand in front of their school board meetings
00:15:59.040and express their judgments and views about what their children should be taught in public schools,
00:16:06.280which has been their right since the founding of the country, even before.
00:16:11.920But now the Justice Department is more interested in going after those parents as domestic terrorists
00:16:19.720than going after the cartels, going after the drug smugglers.
00:16:24.820And you talked about that intelligence directorate in the Department of Homeland Security.
00:16:29.220We have lots of directorates and agencies, you know, the alphabet groups of intelligence gathering, law enforcement, in some cases, agencies.
00:17:03.300Look, as someone who spent 20 years in the FBI, as you described, and as I'm sitting there listening to you about how the DOJ weaponized, right,
00:17:12.020the FBI, to go after these concerned parents, I was embarrassed.
00:17:16.460I could not believe what I was seeing unfolding.
00:17:19.760And if I can real quick, the fact that the current director of the FBI, Director Wray,
00:17:23.140did not get out there and proactively push back and say that under no circumstances will he allow the FBI to be weaponized
00:17:31.340to pursue this kind of constitutionally protected activity was unconscionable.
00:18:21.960They're not being honest with American people.
00:18:23.780Meanwhile, we are being negatively impacted every single day.
00:18:26.940The 100,000 overdose deaths by themselves account for more deaths of Americans than traffic deaths, shootings, murders of all kinds in this country.
00:18:42.100It has become one of the leading causes of death, drug overdoses.
00:18:48.920The 100,000, that's more U.S. citizens that died in the Vietnam and Afghan-Iraqi wars combined.
00:18:57.120That's more than the deaths in those combined wars.
00:19:01.680Why are we, as a country, not all united to say, what is going on?
00:19:45.240And give us a peek inside that intelligence operation at the Department of Homeland Security.
00:19:52.160Don't they know that there are as many people on this side of the border associated with those cartels benefiting from the deaths of those who lose their lives to addiction to the deadly drugs that are being trafficked across that border?
00:20:11.240Those, no one wants to talk about the level of corruption on this side, the corruption of the political party or parties that support those open borders and the free flow of drugs, human smuggling.
00:20:29.040It's, it's abhorrent to say the very least.
00:20:32.120Yeah, Lou, you know, an intelligence apparatus, look, look, CBP, Customs and World Protection, they have their own office of intelligence.
00:20:40.760It is run by some dedicated career in intelligence of folks there.
00:20:47.100And I'm telling you, they have some of the best and brightest intelligence folks that this country has.
00:20:52.380They constantly work with other organizations, whether that's, again, ISIS, Homeland Security Investigations, other organizations, DEA, FBI, and task force environments.
00:21:02.940But look, at the end of the day, their hands are being tied because, look, this is an administration that is actually complicit in completing the last chain of smuggling operations.
00:21:14.080They're actually encouraging, incentivizing, and facilitating smugglers illegally pushing immigrants into this country, and this administration is actually participating in that.
00:21:25.540So you think they're really going to take the intelligence analysts and the intelligence mechanism and let them go freely on what they need to do?
00:21:34.940And that's another travesty that's happening right now.
00:21:37.680We have career officials that know what to do.
00:21:39.540They know how to do it, but their hands are being tied by this administration.
00:21:42.760You know, the typical answer to what I'm about to ask here is, you know, just wait till the election of 2022 or wait till the election of 2024.
00:21:53.960Donald Trump will be reelected and everything will be fine in 2024.
00:22:00.720The Republican Party is run by rhinos who are absolutely bound to corporate America
00:22:08.700and all of the commercial interests that want that illegal immigrant labor brought into this country, no matter the cost to citizens, no matter the cost to the nation, and no matter how destructive of the national interest.
00:22:27.900What is every, you know, every American right now is watching this.
00:22:32.240They see it clearly, they have been sold out in just about every way they can be, whether it's offshoring, outsourcing of their jobs, whether it be the importation of illegal labor,
00:22:45.200their children saturated with these drugs that come across that southern border.
00:22:51.080And by the way, fentanyl directly from communist China.
00:23:25.080Yeah, Lou, look, I still to this day talk to some members on the Hill that still push the false narrative that somehow we need illegal immigration for some jobs.
00:23:41.840That has been debunked again and again.
00:23:44.400I really encourage your listeners to go to the Centers for Immigration Studies.
00:23:47.560They've done an incredible job talking about the marginalized U.S. workforce and negative impact and competitiveness with respect to illegal immigrants,
00:26:00.860Well, which is one of the pastimes of the left in this country, the Marxist left.
00:26:07.320Congressman Buddy Carter of Georgia introduced something called the Build Better Borders Act.
00:26:12.540And I love this, Mark, because his idea is to fine all illegal immigrants the precise amount of money that's given to them, gifted to them by President Biden.
00:26:23.440You remember who wants to put, give each one, each family $450,000.
00:26:36.480But it's the same problem we've faced now for years.
00:26:39.580And that is nothing's going to happen unless the Republicans join together and win the polls and had the majority in the Senate and the House.
00:26:49.060And they are a far cry from having that.
00:39:14.680And so we have this effort in media parlance to spike a story that they did not want.
00:39:26.020They spiked a president of the United States, by the way, didn't they?
00:39:29.540And people don't even ask for his former president Trump and his tweets.
00:39:34.800We have watched an amazing censoring of a president, a perpetual persecution of a sitting president,
00:39:45.100as well as the man in his post-presidency.
00:39:49.620And we're getting really absolutely no outrage.
00:39:53.180It's just another day at what seems to be a nation evolving from a constitutional republic to a free-for-all politically and partisan conflict.
00:40:07.160I feel, being somewhat a student of history, that we're undergoing our own cultural revolution, a reference to what Mao instituted in China in the mid-20th century, where he decided that the old ways needed to go.
00:40:21.540And the old ways needed to go because they were an obstacle to Mao's new communist ways truly being ascendant.
00:40:40.380If you were an influencer, someone who was respected in the community, you had to be erased as well.
00:40:45.080They deliberately set about tearing down everything and propagandizing everything so that all the old traditions, all the old knowledge, all the old ways of doing things were destroyed so they could be overlaid with and replaced by the regime's new way of doing things.
00:41:00.580And think about what we're seeing in America now with all the censorship, with the replacement of real life with virtual life and technological life.
00:41:08.080When you see how we have our cultural relics being torn down, statues of the founders, they said it was just about racism and slavery.
00:41:19.040They start tearing down actual abolitionist statues.
00:41:22.240They start defacing things, honoring Abraham Lincoln.
00:41:26.080This is nothing less than an attempt by the left to destroy the foundation of America so that they can get rid of the Constitution and replace it with their own desires.
00:41:36.040And it is a really, really scary time.
00:41:38.560And people need to wake up to what's happening because I know it can sound kooky when if you hear none of it's the cultural Marxists, they're communists, they've switched from economics to race as opposed to class.
00:41:50.340And that's how they're creating conflict and agitation.
00:41:53.920What they're using is a vehicle for their propaganda that can sound a little kooky.
00:41:58.860If you go back and read Marx and you read what the Soviets were pushing, just replace class and economics with race, and they're running the exact same playbook in America right now.
00:42:07.760And they have a corrupt big media and a corrupt big tech oligarchy running the whole thing for them.
00:42:13.960And against this immense, consolidated power of the oligarchs, and we call them oligarchs on this podcast for one simple reason, like circumstances, like sums of money and wealth, they're called oligarchs.
00:42:33.640If they're in Russia, if they're anywhere in the world, but here, here we call them billionaires and philanthropists, when in fact, their designs and actions to control and influence the body politic are just as egregious as, almost as egregious as anywhere in the world, are they not?
00:42:54.740They are, and it's really scary seeing what's happened, especially when you have so many people ostensibly on the right going along with it.
00:43:01.940They'll look at what's happening at Facebook or Twitter or Google or Amazon.
00:43:06.560I personally think Google and Amazon are the real big worries here.
00:43:12.220They'll look at these companies which are built on federal carve-outs and liability protections and special immunities for these companies that no one else has.
00:43:20.580And they'll say, oh, well, this is just the free market.
00:43:22.280You're getting mad at the free market.
00:43:30.720This is government putting its hand on the scale to help a certain class of people at the expense of everyone else in the country.
00:43:38.100And when I'm looking at how everything's playing out now with the oligarchs controlling how we vote, controlling how we talk, controlling what topics we're allowed to discuss on health matters or political matters, I see that as a direct threat to liberty.
00:43:51.060And when I look in the Constitution, I don't see what my friend Tucker Carlson calls some sort of Nicene creed of capitalism.
00:43:59.300I see a document, a doctrine that exists to safeguard our liberty.
00:44:04.120And our liberties are under threat now.
00:44:05.780And they're under threat from these big tech oligarchs.
00:44:08.040Tucker can get sometimes so far much, so far to the, well, to the clever that he loses sight of what is actually the profound.
00:44:18.360And I like him immensely, but sometimes he works too hard to be cute and not to be serious.
00:44:26.240The issue of these tech titans and the influence on the 2020 election, there is a view within the national popular corporate media that, you know,
00:44:37.620let's just pat these little fellows and gals on the head who, you know, are patriots who wanted to go to, to Washington DC and demonstrate, uh, against what they perceive to be, uh, irregularities, anomalies.
00:44:52.380And in some cases outright fraud and cheating in the 2020 presidential election.
00:44:57.660And by the way, they had their lying eyes to support their view that those incidents did occur, whether it's in Wayne County, uh, Michigan, whether it's, as you pointed out, uh, one of the targets of, uh, left wing Zuck, uh, uh, DeKalb County, uh, and Fulton County and Georgia and Arizona and Nevada.
00:45:16.660And unfortunately the list does go on from there.
00:45:19.360Uh, this is really appalling that people still are not demanding serious investigation of what happened, uh, in November and the 2020 presidential election.
00:45:35.100And there's a reason they don't want to investigate it and get into it.
00:45:37.900And it's the same reason the left doesn't want to look into the origins of the Russia collusion hoax or everyone that was involved in that.
00:45:52.600It wasn't a surprise to any of them so much so that, uh, I think it was a couple months after the election time magazine did this big, uh, glossy cover profile of the people who they said fortified the election.
00:46:05.240And the thing read, they, they were doing a victory lap, but it actually read like a confession where they all agreed.
00:46:11.500Yeah. Yeah. We got together and we did all these things, uh, and we rigged all these systems to make sure Trump would never win again.
00:46:17.480And, and, and, and, you know, they did it and you know, they'll never investigate it based on, uh, what DNC lawyer, uh, Mark Elias said the other day about these plans from Democrats to put Nancy Pelosi permanently in charge of every election in America.
00:46:31.360They said, we have no hope unless we can do this. They understand that when it's just one vote per person, when only legal people can vote, when it's hard to cheat, that they don't stand a chance.
00:46:42.700And it's why they are so firmly against anything that requires voter ID, uh, that makes it harder to cheat.
00:46:49.260That doesn't flood the system with absentee ballots. They are diametrically opposed to security integrity messages, uh, uh, uh, because they know that if those things happen, they can't win.
00:47:00.520Well, they can't win. They don't have to win because, uh, straightforwardly they're doing the vote counting. However, you construct that, whether it be, uh, through, uh, the votes themselves, whether it be the, you know, smart Matic dominion.
00:47:19.520I don't know what their role was. Uh, but what bothers me is no one else does either. Our justice department refused to investigate local authorities refuse to investigate.
00:47:31.200And then we find out most of those election jurisdictions didn't even have access to the so-called proprietary software, which they were depending upon for a legitimate, uh, and lawful vote count.
00:47:44.420Uh, but to your point and the point of others that this began long ago, uh, with a, a democratic party taking advantage of COVID to rush through all of these changes to law and dates and what constituted an election.
00:48:01.660It's, it is absolutely barbaric and absurd. What was permitted by the Republican party.
00:48:07.840We know what the democratic party is, uh, and how corrupt they are, but what people don't also understand is my opinion is just how incompetent the leadership of the Republican party is how, uh, fat and lazy and, uh, absolutely content to be the second place party in perpetuity.
00:49:21.980Uh, that fools have started, uh, for the past 30, 30 years, uh, in this country.
00:49:28.700And right now we see a sort of a gnashing of teeth and a wringing of hands, uh, as the, uh, the chicken hawks, uh, are apparently wanting us to teach Russia a lesson about where to put its troops within its sovereign territory.
00:49:43.820I mean, the maliciousness, the mendaciousness and the, uh, the abject grotesque interest in putting American forces on foreign soil is to me repugnant.
00:49:58.440And it is building as you've chronicled already, uh, this year.
00:50:05.960And I think one of the underreported, uh, reasons for Trump's success and his popularity was his stance on keeping America out of places where America doesn't have a direct, obvious national security interest.
00:50:18.840And you look at Ukraine, you look at the stuff going on there.
00:50:24.260I think the dude is an awful, awful person.
00:50:26.940Uh, but I am yet to hear a good reason why any American sons or daughters or moms or dads should be sent to die to defend Ukraine's border when we won't even defend our own.
00:50:48.100And I have to say, I, I really don't understand why we have tolerated big tech, big finance on wall street, uh, big business aligning themselves more carefully to the economic interest values, uh, and, and actual, uh, structures forwarded by the Chinese than to, uh, those, uh, of the Trump administration era.
00:51:14.180And those of the us, uh, of us interests, uh, this is sickening to watch.
00:51:20.560Uh, we are, we are bleeding every month, record levels of trade deficit.
00:51:28.360And we've got apple, uh, with a $276 billion deal with China that no one knew about until the last few weeks.
00:51:38.100Uh, it's, it's sickening to see what is happening and without question, without oversight, uh, without any kind of inquiry on the part of us agencies that are responsible, whether it be Cepheus, the commerce department, you name it.
00:51:55.500We, uh, it's as if our government has spent 40 years hollowing out the American middle class, the American manufacturing base, um, companies that used to make stuff here, buy stuff here, uh, made by people here.
00:52:09.560Uh, they, they sold us down the river to China on that.
00:52:12.760They decided it was worth, uh, you know, paying a little less for a TV here and sending all of our manufacturing capacity, which was the foundation of the American middle class for decades over to China.
00:52:23.040Uh, and it was all just to get an extra penny or two on the margin.
00:52:26.020And what has happened is this Chinese war machine, the communist Chinese menace, uh, that unleashed this virus on the world that was built with our money that was built with, with our consumers, with our dollars.
00:52:40.740And, you know, for all the talk about Taiwan and needing to protect Taiwan, what we need to do is eliminate the engine of China's war machine, which is our economy.
00:52:50.060And we need to direct our economy to doing the best for the American people, not what's best for the Chinese government.
00:52:55.500Cause it makes some big global corporations, some extra money.
00:52:58.040Very quickly to put in, in stark contrast, uh, and, uh, what has happened to your point, the hypersonic missiles that, uh, China set around the globe.
00:53:11.380A few weeks ago, uh, at mock nine and delivered a, uh, a missile on, uh, within 25 miles of the target after circumventing the, the, after going clear around the earth.
00:53:26.060Uh, that technology is us technology from the year 2000 that was abandoned by the Clinton administration at the end of 2000.
00:53:38.320And which we have done nothing on and our generals are saying, we don't know how they did it.
00:53:43.340And by the way, Russia's got the, the same program far in advance of our own.
