Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America Podcast with Lou Dobbs,
00:00:04.200
always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.
00:00:09.220
And now, here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.
00:00:14.440
Hello, everybody. Wonderful to have you with us for this edition of the Great America Show.
00:00:19.160
We're still growing this little acorn by leaps and bounds thanks to you.
00:00:23.900
We appreciate your support and sharing part of your day with us as together we fight for truth and justice in the American way.
00:00:32.600
Please be sure to tell your family and friends about us, about the Great America Show, and please listen in.
00:00:38.820
We call the show the Great America Show because that's exactly what America is.
00:00:43.960
We're proud of this great country, and we say so without apology to anyone, to President Biden, to Dr. Fauci, or whomever.
00:00:52.380
And we're here to make sure all who would drag us down fail, and all who are in uniform, who work so hard,
00:01:00.000
who put their lives on the line to keep this land free and our nation great,
00:01:04.900
all have our support and whatever it takes to succeed in keeping this republic of ours vibrant and vigorous and God-willing in perpetuity.
00:01:14.400
And yes, we're dedicated to those working men and women, those small business people in this country,
00:01:19.660
who are the very heart of the nation, our middle class, and all who aspire to it.
00:01:25.280
God bless you, and God bless this great country of ours.
00:01:29.380
Now, you might be getting the impression I'm a little fired up today, and you would be right.
00:01:34.020
And my guess is you'll understand why when we take up some of the events that are taking place,
00:01:38.940
some of the issues facing the country right now,
00:01:41.820
and this hapless, heartless aggregation of leftists who mean to reshape the country,
00:01:47.820
to remove our rights as citizens, to crush Christianity,
00:01:51.340
while destroying the American family, our capitalist system,
00:01:55.740
that brought prosperity to not only hundreds of millions of Americans,
00:01:59.560
but to people all around the world.
00:02:02.340
And now, to the matters at hand.
00:02:04.620
Communist China's President Xi is at it again,
00:02:08.160
trying to intimidate the world,
00:02:10.740
while his own country is threatened by another wave of perhaps two variants
00:02:14.960
of the Wuhan coronavirus he unleashed on an unsuspecting world.
00:02:21.180
This is the Beijing Winter Olympics approach.
00:02:23.880
President Xi telling the West,
00:02:25.820
do not engage in a cold war with all-powerful communist China.
00:02:30.160
He did everything but tell President Biden to bow down
00:02:34.440
when he hears the words President Xi spoken.
00:02:39.380
Joining us now is one of America's foremost experts on China,
00:02:43.160
indeed on global security and geopolitics,
00:02:46.000
and a great American, our good friend, Gordon Chang.
00:02:50.040
Gordon, great to have you with us.
00:02:52.160
Well, thank you so much, Lou.
00:02:54.480
Let's start with President Xi,
00:02:56.840
deciding it was time for him to tell the world not to even think about a cold war,
00:03:01.740
much less a hot one,
00:03:04.680
with the all-powerful communist Chinese People's Liberation Army at hand.
00:03:12.580
What do you make of it?
00:03:14.120
Your thoughts.
00:03:15.620
Yeah, when Xi Jinping talked to Davos,
00:03:18.620
which he has a habit of doing,
00:03:20.520
he always has these 30,000-foot generalities
00:03:23.640
about how the world needs to come together,
00:03:26.320
how everyone needs to cooperate,
00:03:28.400
how we shouldn't have trade wars,
00:03:30.160
how we shouldn't do this,
00:03:31.580
how we shouldn't do that.
00:03:32.860
And that's exactly what we heard a couple days ago.
00:03:36.000
But I think that even Davos is starting to get a little tired of that
00:03:40.160
because the reality is very different.
00:03:42.580
Just to give you an example,
00:03:44.320
while China was ravaged by at least two variants,
00:03:49.560
the Omicron and the Delta,
00:03:50.840
and maybe a new one,
00:03:52.720
what they were trying to do, Lou,
00:03:54.300
was to say,
00:03:55.000
well, look,
00:03:55.640
this Omicron came from Canada on the surface of an envelope,
00:03:58.780
and so therefore don't buy foreign products anymore.
00:04:01.980
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:04:03.520
I've got to say here,
00:04:04.700
if I may interrupt you,
00:04:05.920
I apologize.
00:04:07.180
But I mean,
00:04:07.860
that's so ludicrous and so stupid
00:04:10.520
that it's unbecoming President Xi.
00:04:14.580
It's unbecoming anyone who gives a damn about truth.
00:04:18.600
How dare he?
00:04:20.040
And isn't his country,
00:04:23.000
those who know about it,
00:04:24.640
embarrassed by such a proclamation?
00:04:26.360
You know,
00:04:27.880
I think that Chinese officials below him
00:04:30.400
must be embarrassed,
00:04:32.140
but he's certainly not.
00:04:34.200
And what he's doing by saying these things
00:04:36.220
is he's expecting foreigners like Biden
00:04:38.920
to repeat them as a sign of obedience.
00:04:42.440
So, yes,
00:04:43.620
China does have all of these absurd statements
00:04:45.920
that the ruler makes,
00:04:47.520
but we're expected to not only listen,
00:04:49.920
but to follow and tremble and obey.
00:04:52.200
My gosh.
00:04:54.180
And what's, of course,
00:04:56.160
disconcerting is we don't have a good read
00:04:58.880
on Biden's,
00:05:01.240
we know something about his state of mind,
00:05:03.220
and it's not either good or pleasant.
00:05:05.940
But we don't know what he's thinking about China,
00:05:09.300
what he's agreed to,
00:05:10.360
and what he's not,
00:05:11.680
if anything.
00:05:12.300
So he is really,
00:05:15.380
it's an incredible thing to say,
00:05:17.760
he's an unknown quantity
00:05:19.280
as we are faced
00:05:20.500
with these national security threats
00:05:22.800
from Beijing.
00:05:24.000
Yeah.
00:05:24.720
One thing that we do know
00:05:26.360
in terms of broad outline
00:05:28.080
is that Biden does not consider China
00:05:30.600
to be America's number one
00:05:32.340
national security threat.
00:05:34.160
He believes that climate change is.
00:05:36.980
But climate change hasn't killed
00:05:38.780
855,000 Americans
00:05:40.820
in the last couple of years.
00:05:42.540
But the virus did.
00:05:44.260
And we know, Liu,
00:05:45.560
that this virus probably came
00:05:47.500
from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:05:49.840
We know that, let's say, 95%.
00:05:51.680
But there's something 100% we do know,
00:05:55.240
and that is Xi Jinping made decisions
00:05:57.620
to spread this disease
00:05:59.380
beyond China's borders
00:06:00.800
once it got out into the Chinese public.
00:06:03.900
They lied about transmissibility.
00:06:05.960
And while they were locking down
00:06:07.240
their own country,
00:06:08.220
they were trying to force other countries
00:06:10.240
to take arrivals from China
00:06:11.580
without travel restrictions
00:06:12.880
or quarantines.
00:06:14.220
You put just those two things together,
00:06:16.400
and there are more.
00:06:17.240
But just those two things together,
00:06:18.740
it shows that they wanted
00:06:20.280
to spread this disease.
00:06:21.740
This is the first time in history
00:06:23.300
that one nation has attacked
00:06:24.820
all the others.
00:06:26.560
Yeah, it's really true.
00:06:28.400
And as I said at the time,
00:06:30.100
and you know this,
00:06:31.840
in early 2020,
00:06:34.920
I said this is the moral equivalent
00:06:36.820
of murder
00:06:38.740
to allow this virus
00:06:41.800
to be spread across the world
00:06:45.260
without a warning
00:06:46.700
when they knew precisely
00:06:48.160
what they were doing
00:06:49.080
and the impact of it
00:06:51.280
and the lethality of that virus.
00:06:54.900
You're absolutely right.
00:06:56.080
This is murder.
00:06:57.120
So 5.5 million people
00:06:59.640
around the world,
00:07:00.760
outside China,
00:07:01.520
who died from this disease,
00:07:03.780
we should consider
00:07:04.520
each one of those
00:07:05.760
a murder.
00:07:07.720
No question about it.
00:07:09.380
And we also should consider
00:07:11.840
what in the world
00:07:13.360
is to be done
00:07:14.760
if there are now,
00:07:17.460
as it appears there will be,
00:07:19.460
subsequent waves
00:07:20.620
that look like
00:07:22.440
they're going to,
00:07:23.480
if they do not
00:07:24.700
appear first in Europe,
00:07:28.060
it appears
00:07:29.060
that they're going
00:07:29.840
to be present
00:07:31.240
in China
00:07:32.140
just as the Beijing
00:07:33.720
so-called winter games
00:07:35.540
begin.
00:07:36.900
This has got to be
00:07:37.860
a nightmare
00:07:38.360
for President Xi,
00:07:40.220
for the Communist Party,
00:07:41.580
and for China itself.
00:07:44.880
Yes.
00:07:45.260
I mean,
00:07:45.640
in Beijing,
00:07:46.760
they're reporting
00:07:47.360
Omicron cases.
00:07:48.760
But some people
00:07:49.600
are saying,
00:07:50.080
that this is
00:07:51.480
a new variant,
00:07:53.180
one that has
00:07:53.820
yet to be identified.
00:07:55.660
And we don't know
00:07:56.600
its virulence,
00:07:57.340
and we don't know
00:07:58.080
its transmissibility.
00:07:59.740
Now,
00:08:00.140
these reports
00:08:01.040
are unconfirmed,
00:08:02.780
but the point is
00:08:03.660
that China
00:08:04.120
is not cooperating
00:08:05.340
with the United States,
00:08:06.700
with the World Health Organization.
00:08:08.280
It's not cooperating
00:08:09.180
with anybody
00:08:10.040
in trying to get
00:08:11.360
to the bottom
00:08:11.940
of what's occurring
00:08:12.820
in Beijing.
00:08:13.660
So we have
00:08:14.260
all these athletes,
00:08:15.520
reporters,
00:08:16.660
journalists,
00:08:17.700
officials,
00:08:18.560
all going over
00:08:19.680
to China.
00:08:20.840
And they're going
00:08:21.280
to come back
00:08:21.860
perhaps with something
00:08:22.860
even more nasty
00:08:23.900
than what we've seen
00:08:24.760
up to now.
00:08:26.500
Yeah,
00:08:26.620
and I'm really
00:08:27.360
sort of surprised
00:08:28.280
at Comcast
00:08:29.340
and NBC,
00:08:31.380
the broadcasters
00:08:33.380
of the Olympics,
00:08:35.060
that they're not
00:08:36.040
saying more
00:08:36.880
about the Uyghurs,
00:08:38.300
their captivity,
00:08:40.100
their slaughter,
00:08:41.540
their awful
00:08:43.000
human rights abuses.
00:08:45.080
Because, you know,
00:08:46.320
every time you look
00:08:47.160
at an NFL football game,
00:08:48.660
it says,
00:08:49.320
be love,
00:08:50.480
stop hate.
00:08:51.580
but there's
00:08:52.920
absolute silence,
00:08:55.040
silence from NBC
00:08:56.520
on the oppression
00:08:58.940
of the Communist Chinese
00:09:00.700
against the Uyghurs,
00:09:02.560
the concentration camps,
00:09:05.120
the abuse,
00:09:06.500
and the deaths.
00:09:07.860
Aren't you shocked
00:09:08.980
that they have not
00:09:10.080
not responded at all
00:09:13.500
to the host country's
00:09:16.320
absolute barbarism?
00:09:19.980
Yeah.
00:09:20.720
To be clear,
00:09:22.200
what China is doing
00:09:23.200
is committing
00:09:23.740
acts of genocide,
00:09:24.780
as defined in Article 2
00:09:26.760
of the Genocide Convention
00:09:27.940
of 1948,
00:09:29.180
and is engaged
00:09:30.060
in other crimes
00:09:31.140
against humanity,
00:09:31.940
which includes
00:09:33.000
the mass detentions,
00:09:34.340
the killings,
00:09:35.200
the rapes,
00:09:36.220
the forced slavery,
00:09:37.760
organ harvesting,
00:09:39.080
the imprisonment
00:09:39.820
of children.
00:09:40.920
These are atrocities,
00:09:42.320
Lou,
00:09:42.580
that are comparable
00:09:43.460
to what the Third Reich
00:09:44.640
was doing
00:09:45.200
prior to the mass
00:09:46.220
exterminations of 1941.
00:09:48.940
You know,
00:09:49.180
we always talk about
00:09:50.100
never again,
00:09:51.480
but we have
00:09:52.220
a political class
00:09:53.560
in our country
00:09:54.580
and in other countries
00:09:55.780
that are saying
00:09:56.860
we don't care.
00:09:58.440
Matter of fact,
00:09:59.320
we don't care
00:10:00.220
was what the CEO
00:10:02.260
of Social Capital
00:10:04.140
actually said,
00:10:05.640
Chamath Palihapitiya,
00:10:08.080
in that All In podcast,
00:10:10.240
where he said,
00:10:10.980
no, I don't care
00:10:11.700
what's going on
00:10:12.480
with the Uyghurs,
00:10:13.220
and then went on
00:10:14.280
to say that
00:10:15.060
human rights abuses,
00:10:16.440
quote unquote,
00:10:17.020
in the U.S.,
00:10:18.000
were comparable
00:10:18.580
to those in China
00:10:20.140
and then said
00:10:21.120
the Chinese Communist Party
00:10:22.480
was perhaps
00:10:23.380
not a dictatorship.
00:10:25.380
This is unspeakable.
00:10:29.560
I mean,
00:10:30.260
it's unspeakable
00:10:32.960
and he is part owner
00:10:34.720
of the Warriors,
00:10:36.100
the NBA Warriors,
00:10:37.480
for crying out loud,
00:10:39.180
who have been
00:10:40.800
at the forefront
00:10:41.580
of running this country down
00:10:43.460
and the disgusting
00:10:45.740
social justice warrior,
00:10:47.800
whatever they call it,
00:10:48.620
social justice war.
00:10:50.500
This is just outrageous
00:10:52.580
that the NBA
00:10:53.600
would behave like this,
00:10:55.140
have an owner
00:10:56.020
or anyone
00:10:56.880
who would sit there
00:10:57.900
and compare
00:10:59.040
the United States
00:11:00.180
and communist China.
00:11:02.580
It's sickening,
00:11:03.440
it's disgusting,
00:11:04.140
and there hasn't been
00:11:04.960
a word of protest.
00:11:06.380
And LeBron James,
00:11:07.360
I expect you
00:11:08.240
to make some statement
00:11:10.080
about this fool
00:11:11.220
and what he said
00:11:12.660
because I know
00:11:13.760
you've got to be
00:11:14.440
as upset as I am
00:11:15.700
that anyone
00:11:16.680
would demean
00:11:17.420
this country
00:11:18.160
as he did.
00:11:20.300
What do you think?
00:11:21.600
Should we expect
00:11:23.040
a strong memo
00:11:24.920
from the NBA
00:11:25.980
to their owner
00:11:28.380
of the Warriors?
00:11:30.300
Yeah.
00:11:30.860
LeBron James,
00:11:31.760
in particular,
00:11:32.300
has a lot to answer for
00:11:33.700
because,
00:11:34.880
as you point out,
00:11:35.760
Lou,
00:11:36.140
he is so easy
00:11:38.140
off the trigger
00:11:38.960
to criticize
00:11:40.200
the United States.
00:11:41.960
But he was endorsing
00:11:43.120
a product,
00:11:44.080
Nike,
00:11:44.880
that was knowingly
00:11:45.980
using essentially
00:11:47.720
slave labor
00:11:48.680
of Uyghurs,
00:11:49.940
of a racial minority.
00:11:52.100
Now,
00:11:52.340
this occurred
00:11:53.080
in Qingdao,
00:11:55.780
and it was done
00:11:56.460
through a South Korean
00:11:57.300
subcontractor.
00:11:58.200
But this subcontractor
00:11:59.140
had a long-term
00:11:59.840
relationship with Nike.
00:12:01.580
Nike was auditing
00:12:02.620
these premises,
00:12:03.580
and it was clear
00:12:04.620
just from looking at them
00:12:05.820
that this was
00:12:06.340
a concentration camp
00:12:07.380
where Uyghur women
00:12:08.540
were transported
00:12:09.440
across China
00:12:10.360
to this place
00:12:11.160
from the western part
00:12:12.400
of China
00:12:12.780
to the eastern part
00:12:14.280
of China
00:12:14.700
to work in
00:12:15.880
concentration camp-like
00:12:17.320
facilities.
00:12:18.600
So LeBron James
00:12:19.400
should talk to
00:12:20.220
the American people
00:12:20.880
about that
00:12:21.340
because he's told us
00:12:22.640
that he actually
00:12:23.540
is knowledgeable
00:12:24.320
about all these issues,
00:12:26.120
and so therefore
00:12:26.700
he has a right
00:12:27.600
to lecture us.
00:12:29.640
Well,
00:12:30.240
he has got a right
00:12:31.260
to lecture us
00:12:33.440
with false facts.
00:12:36.120
Well,
00:12:36.240
actually,
00:12:36.620
he does have the right,
00:12:38.400
but he really shouldn't
00:12:40.340
be sitting there
00:12:41.420
talking nonsense
00:12:42.320
and blathering
00:12:43.460
with all these
00:12:44.880
virtue signals
00:12:45.860
when in point of fact
00:12:47.460
what he's saying
00:12:48.180
ignores the very big reality
00:12:51.620
here that the NBA
00:12:53.720
is taking hundreds
00:12:55.360
of millions
00:12:55.980
of dollars
00:12:56.680
from China
00:12:57.420
to compromise
00:12:58.780
its principles
00:12:59.960
and, frankly,
00:13:02.840
its debts
00:13:03.480
to the United States,
00:13:06.140
its home country.
00:13:07.520
It's outrageous.
00:13:09.520
And LeBron James,
00:13:11.040
whatever his politics,
00:13:12.200
that's fine.
00:13:13.500
It's not fine
00:13:14.560
to, you know,
00:13:16.960
well, I'll put it this way.
00:13:18.520
If LeBron James,
00:13:19.820
this is the only thing
00:13:20.860
that concerns him,
00:13:22.060
then there's something
00:13:22.740
really skewed
00:13:23.780
about his moral compass
00:13:25.860
because what the Chinese
00:13:27.680
are doing
00:13:28.360
with the Uyghurs
00:13:29.660
is offensive,
00:13:31.460
it's wrong,
00:13:32.220
it's criminal,
00:13:33.320
and it's disgusting
00:13:34.420
and appalling.
00:13:35.340
And by the way,
00:13:36.420
LeBron James
00:13:37.140
is a minor item
00:13:38.160
in this
00:13:38.580
compared to
00:13:39.260
corporate America
00:13:40.020
and Wall Street.
00:13:40.920
Wall Street
00:13:41.620
that's inviting investors
00:13:43.100
to pour their capital
00:13:44.360
into China.
00:13:46.820
Corporate America,
00:13:48.120
which is,
00:13:48.560
whether it's Walmart
00:13:49.300
or Amazon,
00:13:50.780
bringing in their products
00:13:52.140
by the trillions
00:13:54.760
of dollars
00:13:55.580
to the American
00:13:59.680
consuming public.
00:14:00.820
It's just awful
00:14:01.920
to think about
00:14:02.940
the situation
00:14:03.600
that China is in.
00:14:06.020
And by the way,
00:14:06.980
we Americans
00:14:07.860
are the reason
00:14:08.940
that we are
00:14:11.200
the ones to blame
00:14:12.080
for the position
00:14:13.340
of dependence
00:14:14.060
that we put ourselves in,
00:14:15.560
this position
00:14:16.260
of supporting
00:14:17.040
a communist nation.
00:14:19.440
It's insane
00:14:20.820
that we have gotten
00:14:21.780
ourselves into
00:14:22.640
this mess.
00:14:24.500
Your thoughts?
00:14:25.580
Oh, absolutely.
00:14:26.900
Just before
00:14:27.740
talking about that,
00:14:29.180
the one thing,
00:14:29.960
though,
00:14:30.220
in the NBA,
00:14:31.300
we do have
00:14:32.060
Enos Cantor,
00:14:33.360
who on the day
00:14:33.960
he became
00:14:34.560
an American citizen
00:14:35.500
last year,
00:14:36.600
changed his name
00:14:37.360
to Enos Cantor
00:14:38.480
Freedom
00:14:38.960
because he was
00:14:40.140
so grateful
00:14:40.880
to the United States.
00:14:42.520
And he has spoken
00:14:43.360
out on these Uyghur
00:14:44.520
and other issues.
00:14:46.180
And so,
00:14:46.660
at least there is
00:14:47.560
one player
00:14:48.740
who has stood
00:14:50.020
for what's good
00:14:51.140
in this world
00:14:51.820
and has become
00:14:53.140
and proud
00:14:53.820
to be an American.
00:14:54.560
On your bigger
00:14:56.420
point,
00:14:57.000
Lou.
00:14:57.120
In his Cantor
00:14:58.440
Freedom,
00:14:59.660
it's incredible
00:15:00.880
that he
00:15:02.140
has this kind
00:15:03.800
of courage
00:15:04.360
and he is
00:15:05.100
to be respected
00:15:06.040
mightily
00:15:06.620
by all of us
00:15:07.400
for what he's done
00:15:08.160
and we owe him
00:15:08.940
a great debt
00:15:09.480
of gratitude.
00:15:10.760
But his courage
00:15:12.520
speaks to the cowardice
00:15:14.620
of the NBA
00:15:15.420
and its craven greed
00:15:17.500
to put money
00:15:18.900
ahead of principle
00:15:20.120
and the interest
00:15:21.340
of the nation.
00:15:22.880
It's awful
00:15:23.940
and the NBA
00:15:25.080
should be excoriated
00:15:26.640
on Capitol Hill
00:15:28.020
for what it's doing.
00:15:29.980
The problem there
00:15:31.020
is, of course,
00:15:31.780
the radical Dems,
00:15:33.180
the lost left
00:15:34.960
in this country
00:15:35.740
is aligned
00:15:37.300
more with China
00:15:38.440
than it is
00:15:39.220
with American principles.
00:15:41.100
And that is,
00:15:42.220
of course,
00:15:42.900
not only dangerous
00:15:43.780
but disgustingly so.
00:15:46.120
When you talk
00:15:46.860
about Wall Street,
00:15:47.960
corporate boards,
00:15:49.460
Walmart and Amazon,
00:15:50.480
as you pointed out,
00:15:51.860
they do see
00:15:53.120
their interests
00:15:53.880
more closely aligned
00:15:55.420
with the elite
00:15:56.340
in communist China
00:15:57.500
than they do
00:15:58.120
with their fellow Americans.
00:15:59.840
And we know this
00:16:00.740
because of what they do.
00:16:02.300
The shipping of jobs
00:16:03.660
by the tens of millions
00:16:05.140
over to China,
00:16:06.180
which has meant
00:16:07.040
the impoverishment
00:16:07.900
of Americans,
00:16:09.080
which has meant despair,
00:16:10.640
which has meant
00:16:11.160
drug addiction,
00:16:12.400
which has meant
00:16:12.900
the destruction
00:16:13.520
of communities
00:16:14.620
and the small businesses
00:16:16.080
that you talk about.
00:16:17.640
This is critical.
00:16:19.320
And in this coronavirus epidemic
00:16:21.780
that China flew,
00:16:23.500
we have seen,
00:16:24.640
because of economic forces,
00:16:26.920
small businesses
00:16:27.740
in the U.S. fail.
00:16:29.680
And they've failed
00:16:30.540
because we have
00:16:32.340
the likes of Amazon
00:16:33.320
being able to take advantage
00:16:35.100
of the situation.
00:16:36.420
So you have Amazon,
00:16:37.640
you've got Walmarts,
00:16:38.700
but you don't have
00:16:39.780
those family businesses
00:16:40.980
that built America.
00:16:44.080
It's true.
00:16:44.620
And by the way,
00:16:46.300
just an article
00:16:47.300
came out
00:16:48.060
from a former
00:16:48.740
executive director
00:16:52.520
of the Black Caucus,
00:16:55.000
Congressional Black Caucus,
00:16:56.540
talking about
00:16:57.720
illegal immigration
00:16:58.940
has crushed
00:17:00.100
Black Americans
00:17:02.140
and their job prospects
00:17:03.480
and wage prospects
00:17:04.700
over the course
00:17:06.060
of the last 30 years
00:17:07.500
because that illegal labor
00:17:09.520
has diminished wages,
00:17:11.960
diminished benefits,
00:17:13.280
and economic opportunity,
00:17:16.000
whether it be
00:17:16.540
in the creation
00:17:17.300
of a small business
00:17:18.360
or large,
00:17:19.520
for Black Americans
00:17:21.520
who otherwise
00:17:22.820
would have had
00:17:23.420
that opportunity,
00:17:24.480
those wages,
00:17:25.360
those higher wages,
00:17:26.520
and wealth.
00:17:28.420
And now,
00:17:29.000
there's a greater disparity
00:17:30.380
in income
00:17:32.860
and net worth
00:17:34.460
in this country
00:17:35.140
than would otherwise
00:17:37.600
have been the case.
00:17:38.440
And I've been talking
00:17:40.040
about this,
00:17:40.500
as you know,
00:17:40.920
for 30-some-odd years.
00:17:42.960
And finally,
00:17:43.960
some people
00:17:44.500
are starting to listen,
00:17:45.680
but it's sure
00:17:46.220
taken a lot of pain
00:17:47.600
and economic loss
00:17:49.440
for them
00:17:49.860
to appreciate
00:17:50.700
the reality
00:17:51.520
of what I was saying
00:17:52.780
30 years ago.
00:17:54.500
Yeah.
00:17:55.420
Those Americans
00:17:56.260
who are most against
00:17:57.740
this open border policy
00:17:59.260
of the Biden administration
00:18:00.300
are the poorest Americans
00:18:02.800
for the reasons
00:18:03.660
that you point out.
00:18:04.560
But, you know,
00:18:05.720
we have another couple
00:18:06.840
of critical vulnerabilities.
00:18:10.920
We have fentanyl
00:18:12.000
from China
00:18:12.700
coming across
00:18:13.480
our southern border
00:18:14.260
in record quantities.
00:18:16.160
And a country
00:18:17.560
that can't defend
00:18:18.480
its borders
00:18:19.020
doesn't have sovereignty,
00:18:20.800
as you've pointed out.
00:18:22.200
And we know
00:18:22.940
that there have been
00:18:25.200
some very disturbing cases
00:18:26.880
of people
00:18:28.240
who are wanting
00:18:30.140
to attack the U.S.
00:18:31.660
coming across
00:18:32.440
that southern border
00:18:33.500
in recent months.
00:18:35.240
So this is going
00:18:36.360
to be a terrorism issue,
00:18:37.920
especially as the Iranians
00:18:39.520
and others
00:18:40.220
take advantage
00:18:41.180
of this open
00:18:42.600
southern border.
00:18:44.760
And speaking
00:18:45.560
of the Iranians,
00:18:47.080
we're in another mess
00:18:50.500
because there is
00:18:52.560
no doubt whatsoever
00:18:53.700
that they are proceeding
00:18:54.960
quickly and profoundly
00:18:57.800
with their uranium
00:18:58.920
enrichment program,
00:19:00.080
which is to weapons grade.
00:19:01.740
we also know
00:19:03.480
that they are aligned
00:19:05.000
with communist China.
00:19:08.340
And that is being felt,
00:19:10.080
that new and stronger bond
00:19:12.580
between those two countries
00:19:13.920
is being felt strongly,
00:19:16.240
whether it be
00:19:16.840
Southeast Asia,
00:19:19.220
whether it be
00:19:20.060
the Middle East,
00:19:21.540
whether it, in fact,
00:19:22.940
be the Western Hemisphere.
00:19:26.640
Yes.
00:19:28.620
And in the last three
00:19:29.480
or four days,
00:19:30.160
the Iranian foreign minister
00:19:31.280
has actually went to Beijing
00:19:32.620
because they're talking
00:19:33.960
about their strategic
00:19:34.880
partnership deal,
00:19:35.940
which has been in existence
00:19:37.180
for a couple of years,
00:19:38.100
but was announced
00:19:38.820
only last year.
00:19:39.800
This is the deal
00:19:41.420
where China will invest
00:19:42.800
somewhere upwards
00:19:44.080
of $400 billion,
00:19:45.900
maybe a little bit less.
00:19:47.300
But also,
00:19:48.340
this involves
00:19:49.520
Chinese purchases
00:19:50.780
of Iranian oil and gas
00:19:52.840
in violation
00:19:53.760
of UN sanctions,
00:19:55.340
as well as,
00:19:56.260
I'm sure,
00:19:56.840
military cooperation,
00:19:58.280
some of which
00:19:58.740
has been announced.
00:20:00.020
Other parts of that
00:20:00.760
military cooperation,
00:20:01.900
I'm sure,
00:20:02.340
have been kept secret.
00:20:03.560
We know that
00:20:04.600
over the course of decades,
00:20:06.360
China has directed
00:20:07.900
its nuclear weapons
00:20:10.160
technology
00:20:10.820
to the Iranians
00:20:12.320
through the Pakistan
00:20:13.600
Black Market Network
00:20:15.220
of AQ Khan,
00:20:16.140
which Beijing supported.
00:20:18.180
When we look at
00:20:19.100
the Iranian nuclear weapons
00:20:20.480
program,
00:20:21.280
it really has been
00:20:22.720
aided substantially
00:20:23.980
by Beijing.
00:20:26.040
Right.
00:20:26.480
And we know
00:20:28.120
that that relationship
00:20:29.620
is likely to get
00:20:32.000
only stronger
00:20:33.280
and more difficult
00:20:34.180
for the United States
00:20:35.400
and for Europe
00:20:36.440
to contend with.
00:20:38.980
We also know
00:20:40.080
that if President Biden
00:20:41.760
talking about
00:20:42.920
climate change
00:20:44.980
is the great
00:20:46.180
national security issue,
00:20:48.260
yet he still ignores China
00:20:50.240
even on that level
00:20:51.460
because he's not saying
00:20:53.620
anything about
00:20:54.460
China's coal production
00:20:55.700
that's at record levels
00:20:57.140
as they try to
00:20:58.560
avoid an energy crisis
00:21:00.940
in their country
00:21:01.860
if they possibly can
00:21:03.680
by burning ever more coal.
00:21:05.700
And yet there's
00:21:07.080
no protest
00:21:07.840
from the organizations,
00:21:10.180
climate change organizations,
00:21:12.140
climate crisis
00:21:15.320
countries that are
00:21:17.280
focused on this mightily.
00:21:19.120
There's not a word,
00:21:20.540
not a peep from them
00:21:21.680
about what China
00:21:22.940
is doing
00:21:23.440
to their environment
00:21:24.380
and to the world's.
00:21:26.020
The last couple days,
00:21:27.580
Lou,
00:21:27.780
we learned that
00:21:28.800
China's coal output
00:21:30.100
for 2021
00:21:31.100
was up 4.7%
00:21:33.560
over the previous year.
00:21:35.500
And when we talk
00:21:36.440
about climate change,
00:21:37.980
if one says,
00:21:39.420
as Biden does,
00:21:40.460
that climate change
00:21:41.220
is the number one
00:21:41.940
national security threat,
00:21:43.420
then what he should be doing
00:21:45.540
is bringing our factories
00:21:47.440
back to this side
00:21:48.940
of the Pacific
00:21:49.520
because the transportation
00:21:51.880
of materials
00:21:53.040
to Asia
00:21:54.520
and the transportation
00:21:56.600
of finished products
00:21:57.640
from Asia
00:21:58.340
to the United States
00:21:59.560
accounts for
00:22:01.120
a very substantial portion
00:22:02.760
of the world's
00:22:03.800
carbon dioxide emissions.
00:22:05.720
15 of the largest
00:22:06.700
container ships,
00:22:07.540
it is often said,
00:22:08.940
pour as much carbon
00:22:09.980
into the air
00:22:10.940
as all the world's cars.
00:22:13.620
Now,
00:22:14.000
one can argue
00:22:14.720
about that statistic,
00:22:16.180
but the point is
00:22:17.180
that if you really believe
00:22:18.980
climate change
00:22:19.720
is the number one threat,
00:22:21.020
then we should be hearing
00:22:22.060
the President
00:22:22.640
of the United States
00:22:23.440
every single day
00:22:24.580
talking about
00:22:25.560
bringing our factories back.
00:22:26.780
And by the way,
00:22:27.760
that would solve
00:22:28.580
many of our
00:22:29.540
supply chain disruptions
00:22:31.540
which are now
00:22:32.200
resulting in
00:22:33.180
bare shelves
00:22:34.180
in the United States
00:22:35.260
as well as inflation.
00:22:37.120
Yeah,
00:22:37.240
and no one should forget
00:22:38.340
who's responsible for this.
00:22:39.940
It's easy to blame China
00:22:41.460
and they do
00:22:42.620
obviously deserve
00:22:45.940
part of that blame,
00:22:47.160
a large portion of it.
00:22:49.240
But it was,
00:22:50.080
after all,
00:22:50.900
U.S. multinationals,
00:22:52.580
U.S. corporate America,
00:22:54.700
U.S. Wall Street,
00:22:56.780
that decided
00:22:58.480
it'd be just a grand idea
00:22:59.960
to shift those expensive
00:23:01.380
to corporations,
00:23:03.960
middle-class jobs
00:23:05.000
from the United States
00:23:06.220
and leave millions
00:23:08.120
of Americans jobless
00:23:09.520
and put those jobs
00:23:10.560
in cheap foreign labor markets
00:23:12.480
to put our production
00:23:14.100
in cheap foreign labor markets,
00:23:16.360
cheap markets
00:23:17.540
that didn't have
00:23:18.660
environmental controls
00:23:20.880
and regulations
00:23:22.280
that had no labor
00:23:24.880
restrictions whatsoever.
00:23:26.780
So what we have,
00:23:28.480
what we sowed
00:23:30.240
30 to 40 years ago
00:23:32.400
is now paying off
00:23:33.920
in something called,
00:23:35.000
so quaintly,
00:23:36.380
supply chain disruption.
00:23:38.420
It is,
00:23:39.320
this contraption
00:23:41.400
is, frankly,
00:23:43.240
collapsing around us.
00:23:44.900
And the CEOs
00:23:46.440
of the companies,
00:23:48.040
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
00:23:49.240
the Business Roundtable,
00:23:50.380
the Business Lobby,
00:23:51.660
Wall Street,
00:23:52.240
all deserve
00:23:53.000
most of the blame
00:23:54.720
for everything
00:23:55.420
that this country
00:23:56.300
is experiencing
00:23:57.040
right now.
00:23:58.540
Yeah,
00:23:59.140
this is greed
00:23:59.900
over patriotism.
00:24:01.440
This is greed
00:24:02.380
over the welfare
00:24:03.120
of fellow Americans.
00:24:04.660
We absolutely
00:24:05.500
have to reverse this.
00:24:07.080
You've been talking
00:24:07.700
about this
00:24:08.260
for decades,
00:24:09.260
and now people
00:24:10.920
are listening
00:24:11.800
because it's so obvious
00:24:13.580
that everything
00:24:14.620
you said,
00:24:15.260
Lou,
00:24:15.400
about this
00:24:16.040
was 100% correct.
00:24:18.400
Well,
00:24:19.140
you know,
00:24:19.680
and there hasn't
00:24:20.260
been a moment
00:24:21.180
when I was speaking
00:24:22.980
to these issues
00:24:23.940
that I wasn't hoping
00:24:26.060
that I was wrong.
00:24:28.580
It's just,
00:24:29.560
the pain
00:24:30.540
that it's caused
00:24:31.140
this country,
00:24:31.820
the economic loss
00:24:32.840
that it's caused
00:24:34.140
this country
00:24:35.240
is deep,
00:24:36.940
it's profound,
00:24:37.840
and we hope
00:24:38.740
can be overcome
00:24:39.600
in the next,
00:24:41.080
in the next decade,
00:24:42.580
perhaps.
00:24:43.420
But we have to
00:24:44.340
turn our minds
00:24:45.100
to it.
00:24:46.220
Let's turn
00:24:47.260
to Hong Kong,
00:24:48.740
flight attendants
00:24:50.360
being blamed
00:24:51.060
for bringing
00:24:51.580
the Wuhan virus
00:24:53.660
variant
00:24:54.440
to Hong Kong
00:24:55.860
and a police
00:24:57.340
action taken.
00:24:58.660
We're watching
00:24:59.380
quite a different
00:25:00.080
Hong Kong now
00:25:01.100
that there's
00:25:01.880
no veil around it,
00:25:03.580
there is no
00:25:04.260
fiction about
00:25:05.820
two systems
00:25:06.780
now that Beijing
00:25:08.260
is in control,
00:25:09.960
right?
00:25:11.120
Absolutely.
00:25:12.440
In 1984,
00:25:13.600
China agreed
00:25:15.880
to provide,
00:25:17.080
to allow
00:25:17.620
50 years
00:25:19.160
of a high
00:25:19.680
degree of
00:25:20.200
autonomy
00:25:20.660
in Hong Kong
00:25:21.580
under the
00:25:22.520
one country,
00:25:23.080
two systems
00:25:23.540
formula.
00:25:24.020
That was to start
00:25:25.080
on July 1st,
00:25:26.000
1997,
00:25:26.660
when Britain,
00:25:28.040
as they said,
00:25:28.820
handed over
00:25:29.460
Hong Kong
00:25:30.200
to Beijing.
00:25:32.240
And with the
00:25:33.420
adoption of the
00:25:34.220
national security
00:25:34.920
law on June 30,
00:25:36.520
2020,
00:25:37.040
we have seen
00:25:38.300
Beijing
00:25:38.920
basically take
00:25:41.040
over Hong Kong
00:25:41.840
and eliminate
00:25:43.120
all forms
00:25:44.460
of autonomy.
00:25:45.500
We have seen
00:25:46.240
the jailing
00:25:46.940
of Jimmy Lai,
00:25:48.300
the founder
00:25:49.180
of Apple Daily,
00:25:50.140
which is Hong Kong's
00:25:51.000
main newspaper.
00:25:52.320
And now,
00:25:52.980
in the last couple
00:25:53.680
of weeks,
00:25:54.540
independent news
00:25:55.360
sites,
00:25:56.200
Citizen News
00:25:56.780
and Stand News
00:25:57.660
have been
00:25:58.520
shut down.
00:26:00.480
This is really
00:26:01.480
the end of Hong Kong
00:26:02.740
as we know it.
00:26:04.360
People,
00:26:05.120
both expatriates
00:26:06.860
and Hong Kong
00:26:07.840
Chinese are
00:26:09.080
leaving.
00:26:10.240
And this is
00:26:11.060
really a lesson
00:26:12.600
of the value
00:26:14.000
of the word
00:26:14.640
of Beijing.
00:26:16.040
You can't trust it.
00:26:17.620
And this is important.
00:26:18.780
It goes well
00:26:19.480
beyond Hong Kong,
00:26:20.260
as you know,
00:26:20.960
because we've got
00:26:21.620
a president
00:26:22.120
in the United States
00:26:22.900
right now
00:26:23.380
who wants a
00:26:23.900
climate change
00:26:24.440
agreement
00:26:24.860
with China.
00:26:27.360
And whatever
00:26:28.200
one thinks
00:26:28.720
of climate change,
00:26:29.860
if you want
00:26:30.600
to clean
00:26:30.940
the environment,
00:26:31.760
the last thing
00:26:32.340
you do is
00:26:32.960
you come to
00:26:33.420
an agreement
00:26:33.920
with Beijing
00:26:34.680
because Beijing
00:26:35.660
will not honor it.
00:26:36.860
as we've seen,
00:26:37.840
for instance,
00:26:38.320
with this output
00:26:39.200
in coal
00:26:39.980
up 4.7%
00:26:41.580
last year.
00:26:43.140
I think the American
00:26:43.980
people are coming
00:26:44.860
to terms.
00:26:45.520
And by the way,
00:26:46.780
when I say
00:26:47.260
American people,
00:26:48.080
I mean,
00:26:48.860
including the radical
00:26:50.580
dams,
00:26:51.140
even the lost
00:26:51.920
left in this country
00:26:53.000
is now cognizant
00:26:55.020
of the limitations
00:26:56.980
of this president
00:26:58.140
and the inadequacy
00:27:00.060
of the people
00:27:00.620
that he's brought
00:27:01.320
with him
00:27:01.860
to Washington,
00:27:03.020
D.C.,
00:27:03.620
no matter how
00:27:04.820
strongly
00:27:05.640
and compellingly
00:27:07.640
they feel
00:27:09.160
they should be
00:27:09.800
supporting him,
00:27:10.820
they understand.
00:27:12.180
And I think,
00:27:12.980
as I said,
00:27:13.680
most Americans
00:27:14.380
understand this
00:27:15.760
president has
00:27:16.980
no business
00:27:17.600
authoring any
00:27:18.500
initiative,
00:27:19.260
authoring any
00:27:19.920
legislation,
00:27:21.300
authoring any,
00:27:22.460
any significant
00:27:24.160
step on the part
00:27:26.100
of the federal
00:27:26.540
government.
00:27:27.160
He was elected
00:27:28.560
to be not,
00:27:29.660
he was not
00:27:30.280
elected with a mandate.
00:27:31.260
He was elected
00:27:32.040
with a clear
00:27:33.580
expectation
00:27:34.120
that he would
00:27:34.800
be a placeholder,
00:27:36.160
a transitional
00:27:37.200
president,
00:27:38.080
and it is time
00:27:39.300
for him to
00:27:39.960
chirp down,
00:27:41.300
not up.
00:27:42.620
It is time
00:27:43.340
for him
00:27:43.880
to take it easy
00:27:45.360
in the White House
00:27:46.180
and relax.
00:27:47.280
And it is time
00:27:48.240
for the left
00:27:48.980
and the cartel
00:27:50.340
of the far left
00:27:51.320
that controls
00:27:52.040
this presidency
00:27:52.940
to simply stand
00:27:55.200
down,
00:27:55.880
because the American
00:27:56.640
people are going
00:27:57.340
to put up with it.
00:27:58.360
More than half
00:27:59.120
the people think
00:27:59.860
that he has
00:28:01.260
his country
00:28:01.700
in the wrong
00:28:02.180
direction
00:28:02.640
on nearly every
00:28:03.620
major issue,
00:28:07.360
but nearly every
00:28:08.160
issue period
00:28:08.920
in this country.
00:28:10.260
So I don't think
00:28:11.540
we're going to see
00:28:12.320
much more from him,
00:28:13.760
nor for that matter
00:28:14.740
from Schumer
00:28:15.620
and from Pelosi,
00:28:18.060
because he is
00:28:19.320
obviously incapable
00:28:21.640
of leading the country.
00:28:23.740
This last speech
00:28:24.640
was a disgusting
00:28:26.360
assassination attempt
00:28:29.120
against conservatives
00:28:31.120
and moderates
00:28:32.140
and Republicans
00:28:33.700
and anyone
00:28:35.540
who is not
00:28:36.600
on the extreme
00:28:37.800
left of the
00:28:38.460
Democratic Party.
00:28:39.580
Your thoughts?
00:28:41.320
When I think
00:28:42.620
about Biden,
00:28:43.480
I think about
00:28:44.520
his responsibilities
00:28:45.480
to protect
00:28:46.120
the American people
00:28:47.060
from an obvious
00:28:48.800
Chinese enemy.
00:28:51.580
Biden did not
00:28:52.980
raise the issue
00:28:53.840
of the origins
00:28:54.580
of COVID-19
00:28:55.520
during his two-hour
00:28:56.660
phone call
00:28:57.380
in February
00:28:58.000
of last year
00:28:58.700
when he spoke
00:28:59.280
to Xi Jinping.
00:29:00.560
He didn't raise it
00:29:01.480
in his November
00:29:02.160
virtual meeting
00:29:02.960
with Xi Jinping.
00:29:04.160
He probably
00:29:05.200
didn't raise it
00:29:06.040
during his 90-minute
00:29:06.940
phone call
00:29:07.600
last September
00:29:08.260
with Xi Jinping.
00:29:09.720
We're talking
00:29:10.520
about the deaths
00:29:11.300
of over 850,000
00:29:13.140
Americans, Lou.
00:29:15.000
And Biden's
00:29:16.420
highest,
00:29:17.220
most solemn
00:29:18.040
responsibility
00:29:18.740
is to defend
00:29:19.860
the American people
00:29:20.880
from foreign attack.
00:29:22.580
China attacked
00:29:23.600
the American people,
00:29:24.640
took 850,000
00:29:26.840
Americans
00:29:27.560
from us
00:29:28.200
and Biden
00:29:29.120
doesn't raise
00:29:30.000
the issue
00:29:30.560
with Xi Jinping
00:29:31.700
at all.
00:29:32.380
This is a dereliction
00:29:33.420
of duty.
00:29:34.500
And for this reason
00:29:35.260
alone,
00:29:35.840
plus the other reasons
00:29:36.880
that you talk about,
00:29:38.160
but for this reason
00:29:39.140
alone,
00:29:40.140
he should not
00:29:41.200
be president
00:29:41.780
of the United States.
00:29:42.680
If he doesn't
00:29:43.020
want to defend us,
00:29:43.840
that's fine.
00:29:44.840
But he should
00:29:45.420
make sure
00:29:46.000
that he's not
00:29:46.980
inhibiting
00:29:47.740
us from
00:29:50.180
protecting ourselves.
00:29:51.120
The weakness
00:29:53.340
and the vulnerabilities
00:29:54.460
of the United States
00:29:56.280
right now
00:29:56.820
and its national
00:29:57.400
security team,
00:29:58.320
its commander-in-chief
00:29:59.320
are so manifest,
00:30:03.220
so obvious
00:30:04.340
to world leaders,
00:30:05.840
but particularly
00:30:06.380
to Putin,
00:30:07.560
to Xi,
00:30:08.600
that it is
00:30:09.240
a very dangerous,
00:30:11.200
difficult period
00:30:11.880
for the United States
00:30:13.000
as we try
00:30:14.540
to get through
00:30:15.200
this period
00:30:15.820
where we are
00:30:16.580
without question
00:30:17.460
leaderless.
00:30:18.600
We are
00:30:19.280
without question
00:30:20.380
in an extremely,
00:30:22.800
extremely
00:30:23.460
dangerous position.
00:30:25.900
We always conclude,
00:30:28.040
as you know,
00:30:28.660
Gordon,
00:30:29.060
with our guest's
00:30:31.000
final word.
00:30:32.180
You get the final word
00:30:33.100
always on this show.
00:30:34.820
We appreciate
00:30:35.700
you being with us.
00:30:36.740
Your thoughts?
00:30:38.940
Lou,
00:30:39.980
China declared
00:30:41.020
a people's war,
00:30:42.020
quote-unquote,
00:30:42.660
on the U.S.
00:30:43.400
in May 2019,
00:30:44.600
and we have
00:30:46.000
a political establishment,
00:30:47.720
which is
00:30:48.260
Wall Street,
00:30:49.300
the corporate boards,
00:30:50.380
and Washington,
00:30:53.500
which doesn't
00:30:54.840
understand the
00:30:55.520
maliciousness
00:30:56.220
of the regime.
00:30:57.680
You,
00:30:58.180
from the very beginning,
00:30:59.280
have talked about
00:31:00.280
China in blunt terms.
00:31:02.560
You were the one,
00:31:03.340
you were the only one
00:31:04.520
talking about
00:31:05.320
red China,
00:31:06.460
and now
00:31:07.520
the American people
00:31:08.780
are coming around.
00:31:10.520
But, you know,
00:31:11.160
Lou,
00:31:11.580
we are at risk.
00:31:13.140
We are a far
00:31:13.820
stronger country
00:31:14.560
than China,
00:31:15.240
but if we don't
00:31:16.040
defend ourselves,
00:31:16.960
we are going to
00:31:17.980
lose our republic.
00:31:19.380
So, Lou,
00:31:19.840
thank you so much
00:31:20.780
for all that you've
00:31:21.860
done in protecting
00:31:23.100
our great America.
00:31:25.720
Well, Gordon,
00:31:26.340
that's kind of you,
00:31:27.260
and I thank you
00:31:28.680
for everything
00:31:29.360
that you do
00:31:30.120
for this country.
00:31:31.760
And we will
00:31:33.000
stay in the fight,
00:31:33.900
my friend.
00:31:34.560
That's all we can do.
00:31:36.260
Gordon Chang,
00:31:37.120
thanks for being with us.
00:31:38.340
We appreciate it.
00:31:39.220
Look forward
00:31:39.580
to seeing you next time.
00:31:40.800
We're still
00:31:42.440
hearing a lot
00:31:43.360
about how much
00:31:43.980
you enjoyed
00:31:44.500
our interview
00:31:45.000
with President Trump,
00:31:46.360
and I can tell you
00:31:47.720
I certainly enjoyed
00:31:48.760
it immensely.
00:31:50.080
Simply put,
00:31:51.220
Mr. Trump
00:31:51.780
is the president
00:31:52.740
who never quits
00:31:53.540
working for working
00:31:54.820
men and women
00:31:55.480
for small business
00:31:57.360
folks in this country,
00:31:58.620
and he's still
00:31:59.540
putting America first
00:32:00.780
in every way.
00:32:02.420
And man,
00:32:03.240
do I miss
00:32:04.240
our greatest president.
00:32:05.500
I know you do
00:32:06.240
as well.
00:32:07.340
Just think how differently
00:32:08.480
we'd be looking
00:32:09.340
at the world right now
00:32:10.520
were he in the White House
00:32:12.320
instead of Mr. Joe Danger.
00:32:15.160
Biden is a one-man
00:32:16.840
national security threat.
00:32:18.580
He is truly dangerous
00:32:19.980
to have in the Oval Office.
00:32:22.800
And if you haven't heard
00:32:24.060
our talk with President Trump,
00:32:25.900
just check out
00:32:26.520
our podcast list
00:32:27.660
and click on
00:32:28.820
President Trump
00:32:29.680
on Biden's blunders,
00:32:31.300
rhinos, and winning.
00:32:33.000
President Trump
00:32:33.800
left office,
00:32:34.800
as you well know,
00:32:35.880
having made huge progress
00:32:37.220
in securing
00:32:37.900
our borders,
00:32:39.160
I've often said
00:32:40.440
that no president
00:32:41.700
in four years
00:32:43.240
has done more
00:32:44.320
than President Trump.
00:32:46.580
I still believe that.
00:32:48.640
Building much
00:32:50.280
of the promised wall,
00:32:51.600
despite the fierce
00:32:52.680
and subversive opposition
00:32:54.660
of the radical Dems,
00:32:56.380
is no small achievement.
00:32:59.360
Fighting the rhinos
00:33:00.700
and his own party,
00:33:01.820
the deep state,
00:33:02.640
and the cartels,
00:33:03.540
of course.
00:33:04.020
No one likes to mention
00:33:04.980
the cartels
00:33:05.800
when we talk about
00:33:07.320
the corruption
00:33:08.840
on the border.
00:33:10.180
It is, believe me,
00:33:11.200
on both sides
00:33:12.080
of that border.
00:33:13.400
The situation
00:33:14.100
on our southern border
00:33:15.140
is quite different
00:33:16.360
after only one year
00:33:17.740
of President Biden
00:33:18.880
and his betrayal
00:33:20.340
of our national sovereignty.
00:33:22.300
Biden's complete sellout
00:33:24.120
to corporate America,
00:33:25.480
his bended knee
00:33:26.580
to the cartels
00:33:27.660
who are carrying on
00:33:29.260
their sex trafficking
00:33:30.440
and smuggling
00:33:31.280
of illegal immigrants
00:33:32.360
and deadly drugs
00:33:33.360
across that border
00:33:34.320
in never-before-seen numbers
00:33:36.760
and quantities.
00:33:38.560
Our national sovereignty
00:33:39.780
obviously means nothing
00:33:41.420
to the Biden administration
00:33:42.960
nor the safety
00:33:44.320
and security
00:33:45.300
of the American people.
00:33:48.140
Former Customs
00:33:49.520
and Border Protection
00:33:50.340
Commissioner Mark Morgan,
00:33:52.040
just to give you a sense
00:33:53.020
of how bad it is,
00:33:54.720
says three million
00:33:55.780
illegal immigrants
00:33:56.940
have tried to cross
00:33:57.940
that border
00:33:58.460
in the first year
00:34:00.160
of the Biden administration
00:34:01.780
and there has been
00:34:03.140
no sign
00:34:03.880
of any easing.
00:34:06.040
We are obviously
00:34:07.360
a nation in distress
00:34:08.760
on many fronts,
00:34:09.780
obviously, as well.
00:34:11.420
Whether it's
00:34:12.080
our open borders,
00:34:13.100
our runaway
00:34:13.600
illegal immigration,
00:34:14.900
unstoppable sex trafficking,
00:34:16.860
massive drug overdose deaths,
00:34:18.980
or runaway levels
00:34:20.380
of violent crime
00:34:21.900
in our major cities,
00:34:23.280
the border,
00:34:23.920
the border plays
00:34:25.400
a fundamental part
00:34:26.720
in it all.
00:34:27.560
To take up this crisis
00:34:29.600
we have with us today
00:34:30.900
a good friend,
00:34:33.640
an old friend,
00:34:34.460
Jessica Vaughn.
00:34:35.500
She's the Director
00:34:36.320
of Policy Studies
00:34:37.400
at the Center
00:34:38.040
for Immigration Studies.
00:34:39.900
Jessica,
00:34:40.860
great to have you with us.
00:34:42.200
Thanks for being here.
00:34:44.060
Thanks so much, Lou.
00:34:44.980
I'm delighted
00:34:45.460
to be talking with you.
00:34:47.020
You know,
00:34:47.320
as we go through
00:34:48.340
the litany
00:34:49.880
of issues
00:34:51.280
that are fundamentally
00:34:52.880
about that border
00:34:54.740
being wide open,
00:34:56.620
illegal immigration
00:34:57.540
un-checked,
00:35:00.360
not even slowed down
00:35:01.660
in point of fact.
00:35:03.360
It's really stunning
00:35:04.800
that no one wants
00:35:06.080
to think,
00:35:06.860
in my judgment,
00:35:08.160
about the corruption
00:35:09.560
that has to exist
00:35:10.700
on both sides
00:35:12.100
of that border,
00:35:13.500
in the states
00:35:14.720
that border Mexico,
00:35:16.700
and, of course,
00:35:17.760
in the northern states
00:35:18.880
of Mexico.
00:35:20.000
Your thoughts
00:35:21.480
about the current
00:35:22.380
crisis?
00:35:24.080
Well,
00:35:24.940
we have witnessed
00:35:26.160
the fastest
00:35:27.400
controlled collapse
00:35:28.580
of border security
00:35:29.440
in American history
00:35:30.980
in the 12 months
00:35:33.260
that Joe Biden
00:35:33.980
has been president,
00:35:34.740
and we're going
00:35:35.920
to be paying
00:35:36.380
the price for it
00:35:37.300
for decades to come
00:35:38.740
in so many ways.
00:35:40.620
in the resettlement
00:35:43.020
of all of these
00:35:44.220
illegal aliens
00:35:45.240
into the country,
00:35:46.500
the enormous costs
00:35:47.720
for states,
00:35:49.000
the cost
00:35:49.560
in public safety,
00:35:51.420
especially from
00:35:52.700
the million
00:35:53.940
or more
00:35:54.420
gotaways
00:35:55.080
who've come through
00:35:55.880
that we have
00:35:56.300
no idea
00:35:57.040
who they are,
00:35:58.040
whether they're
00:35:58.720
terrorists,
00:35:59.440
criminals,
00:35:59.760
or whatever,
00:36:00.500
and in the strengthening
00:36:02.440
of the
00:36:03.740
transnational
00:36:04.900
criminal enterprises
00:36:06.440
that are facilitating
00:36:08.620
and managing
00:36:09.760
and profiting
00:36:11.100
off
00:36:11.660
these Biden
00:36:13.560
policies
00:36:14.080
that have opened
00:36:14.800
up our border.
00:36:15.880
They are just
00:36:16.940
getting stronger
00:36:17.740
and stronger,
00:36:18.540
and they're going
00:36:19.620
to fight like
00:36:20.860
heck to hold
00:36:21.860
on to
00:36:22.580
this lucrative
00:36:23.940
business.
00:36:25.560
And they can...
00:36:26.300
Who is they?
00:36:26.940
I think we really
00:36:27.620
need to name names
00:36:28.640
here.
00:36:29.520
Who is the
00:36:30.520
they
00:36:31.120
that are
00:36:33.240
profiting
00:36:33.920
from these
00:36:35.320
overdose
00:36:35.780
deaths
00:36:36.820
from the
00:36:38.020
addiction
00:36:38.500
that results
00:36:39.280
from the
00:36:39.860
majority
00:36:40.480
of the
00:36:41.380
major
00:36:41.980
deadly
00:36:42.500
drugs
00:36:43.000
that
00:36:43.220
cross
00:36:43.500
that
00:36:43.740
border
00:36:44.060
every year?
00:36:45.840
Without
00:36:46.380
that border
00:36:47.180
being wide
00:36:48.220
open,
00:36:49.000
at least
00:36:49.820
the majority
00:36:50.640
of drugs
00:36:51.200
being brought
00:36:52.060
into this
00:36:52.600
country
00:36:53.000
would be
00:36:53.840
stopped.
00:36:54.920
Who is it
00:36:55.900
that's profiting?
00:36:57.420
It's the
00:36:58.400
several
00:36:59.040
transnational
00:36:59.860
cartels
00:37:00.920
that run
00:37:01.840
Mexico
00:37:02.300
and the
00:37:03.260
politicians
00:37:03.760
and a lot
00:37:04.840
of the law
00:37:05.240
enforcement
00:37:05.640
agencies
00:37:06.200
there,
00:37:06.620
whether it's
00:37:07.140
Sinaloa
00:37:07.660
or the
00:37:08.040
Gulf
00:37:08.280
cartel
00:37:08.920
or the
00:37:09.300
ones that
00:37:10.380
splinter
00:37:10.820
off,
00:37:11.280
they all
00:37:11.660
have a
00:37:12.140
piece of
00:37:12.840
the territory
00:37:13.620
that is next
00:37:14.740
to the
00:37:15.060
border and
00:37:16.400
the smugglers
00:37:17.880
have to pay
00:37:18.760
them for the
00:37:20.380
privilege to
00:37:21.340
bring people
00:37:22.060
through.
00:37:22.620
Nobody crosses
00:37:23.360
on their own.
00:37:24.120
You can't just
00:37:24.560
wake up and
00:37:25.200
say, I think
00:37:25.580
I'll walk
00:37:26.000
across the
00:37:26.480
border today.
00:37:27.320
You have to
00:37:28.140
pay a smuggler
00:37:28.960
who is paying
00:37:29.840
a cartel for
00:37:30.700
that plaza,
00:37:31.760
that territory
00:37:32.540
next to the
00:37:33.500
border.
00:37:33.780
But you
00:37:34.500
know, there
00:37:34.940
are also
00:37:35.780
people on
00:37:36.460
the U.S.
00:37:37.000
side profiting
00:37:37.760
as well.
00:37:39.100
Yes, I do
00:37:39.640
know.
00:37:40.300
Whether it's
00:37:41.740
the kids
00:37:43.140
who are
00:37:43.420
getting paid
00:37:44.080
by the
00:37:44.500
smugglers
00:37:45.020
to bring
00:37:45.600
people across
00:37:46.400
in their
00:37:46.740
cars or
00:37:47.340
transport them
00:37:48.140
on the
00:37:48.360
other side
00:37:48.760
of the
00:37:48.980
border,
00:37:49.220
or whether
00:37:49.920
it's the
00:37:50.340
NGOs
00:37:50.840
that are
00:37:51.840
getting
00:37:52.180
huge
00:37:52.940
contracts
00:37:53.680
from the
00:37:54.580
federal
00:37:54.840
government
00:37:55.420
to
00:37:56.100
transport
00:37:56.920
and
00:37:57.680
counsel
00:37:58.380
and
00:37:59.420
relocate
00:38:00.600
all of
00:38:01.080
these
00:38:01.440
illegal
00:38:01.920
border
00:38:02.260
crossers
00:38:02.880
who are
00:38:03.220
getting
00:38:03.480
resettled
00:38:04.040
into
00:38:04.320
American
00:38:04.760
communities
00:38:05.480
by the
00:38:06.940
Biden
00:38:07.220
administration.
00:38:08.240
They're paying
00:38:09.000
people, you
00:38:09.700
know, to
00:38:10.120
bring them
00:38:10.560
by planes,
00:38:11.360
trains,
00:38:11.780
automobiles,
00:38:12.740
charter bus,
00:38:14.080
you name it.
00:38:15.360
That's how
00:38:15.800
they're getting
00:38:16.560
around to
00:38:17.580
different parts
00:38:18.080
of the
00:38:18.300
country.
00:38:18.620
And you
00:38:19.700
said the
00:38:21.620
real, I
00:38:23.940
think, the
00:38:24.400
touchstone,
00:38:26.120
those NGOs
00:38:27.300
that are
00:38:28.020
operating on
00:38:29.280
both sides
00:38:29.820
of the
00:38:30.120
border under
00:38:31.340
the pretext
00:38:32.760
of being
00:38:33.460
accommodating
00:38:34.540
humane
00:38:36.040
organizations
00:38:38.260
only there
00:38:39.340
to be
00:38:39.740
helpful to
00:38:40.480
those who
00:38:41.000
might need
00:38:42.740
be troubled
00:38:44.340
or need
00:38:45.420
medical
00:38:45.780
attention,
00:38:46.340
the NGOs,
00:38:47.220
the non-government
00:38:48.600
organizations.
00:38:50.300
These NGOs
00:38:51.240
are running
00:38:52.400
what the
00:38:53.340
cartels
00:38:54.020
aren't.
00:38:54.920
Is that a
00:38:55.300
fair statement?
00:38:56.900
Well,
00:38:57.240
absolutely.
00:38:58.400
And they
00:38:59.200
are
00:38:59.820
incentivizing
00:39:01.020
the migrants
00:39:01.680
to come
00:39:02.060
take advantage
00:39:02.780
of this
00:39:03.240
criminal
00:39:03.560
infrastructure.
00:39:04.960
The UN
00:39:05.660
is paying
00:39:06.320
organizations
00:39:07.040
to hand
00:39:07.800
out cash
00:39:08.980
cards in
00:39:10.200
southern
00:39:10.920
Mexico and
00:39:11.820
northern
00:39:12.160
Mexico to
00:39:13.380
support these
00:39:14.140
migrants on
00:39:14.820
their journey.
00:39:15.580
They're
00:39:15.960
counseling
00:39:16.440
them on
00:39:17.280
how to
00:39:18.320
make a
00:39:19.860
false
00:39:20.180
asylum
00:39:20.760
claim.
00:39:21.920
They're
00:39:22.460
organizing
00:39:23.880
buses to
00:39:25.740
bring them
00:39:26.320
from southern
00:39:27.180
Mexico to
00:39:27.980
northern
00:39:28.400
Mexico.
00:39:29.640
They run
00:39:30.260
shelters in
00:39:31.400
the border
00:39:31.880
towns to
00:39:32.860
house people
00:39:33.680
until the
00:39:34.860
smuggler that
00:39:35.700
they're paying
00:39:36.240
can organize
00:39:37.440
their crossing.
00:39:38.740
They are
00:39:39.700
deeply into
00:39:41.100
this game.
00:39:43.580
And, you
00:39:43.760
know, talk
00:39:44.560
about the
00:39:46.200
morality of
00:39:46.960
all of
00:39:47.280
this.
00:39:47.560
I think
00:39:48.340
there's
00:39:48.560
nothing more
00:39:49.180
immoral than
00:39:50.140
having
00:39:50.520
policies that
00:39:51.640
enable these
00:39:53.420
criminal
00:39:53.920
organizations and
00:39:55.280
others to
00:39:55.860
make a
00:39:56.180
profit off
00:39:57.120
of people
00:39:59.120
who've been
00:40:00.240
incentivized to
00:40:02.340
come to the
00:40:02.820
border, who've
00:40:03.220
turned over
00:40:03.640
their life
00:40:04.080
savings to a
00:40:04.880
criminal
00:40:05.160
smuggling
00:40:05.560
organization to
00:40:06.600
try to get
00:40:07.180
here to take
00:40:08.340
advantage of
00:40:09.200
the Biden
00:40:09.600
policies.
00:40:10.240
That's
00:40:10.680
immoral to
00:40:11.340
have people
00:40:11.880
putting
00:40:12.680
themselves in
00:40:13.520
danger and
00:40:14.300
taking advantage
00:40:14.960
and trying to
00:40:16.480
do this, putting
00:40:16.980
their kids into
00:40:18.140
the hands of
00:40:18.820
smugglers to
00:40:19.900
come here.
00:40:20.680
Is it
00:40:21.180
immoral,
00:40:22.380
Jessica, for
00:40:23.700
the national
00:40:24.420
corporate media
00:40:25.660
to be in
00:40:27.460
complicity with
00:40:28.640
the Biden
00:40:29.120
administration,
00:40:30.140
with corporate
00:40:30.820
America that
00:40:32.220
encourages these
00:40:33.280
open border,
00:40:34.920
wide open
00:40:36.720
legal immigration?
00:40:39.780
Is it
00:40:40.300
immoral for
00:40:41.160
a national
00:40:42.140
media that
00:40:42.680
ignores the
00:40:43.640
terrific human
00:40:45.000
toll that
00:40:46.500
is paid
00:40:47.320
every day
00:40:48.200
because of
00:40:48.840
those drugs,
00:40:49.620
because of
00:40:50.500
what these
00:40:52.360
illegal immigrants
00:40:53.600
are actually
00:40:54.280
doing to
00:40:55.760
our wages
00:40:56.600
for
00:40:57.620
Americans,
00:40:58.960
hardworking
00:40:59.520
Americans,
00:41:00.280
often the
00:41:01.360
most low
00:41:02.280
paid Americans
00:41:03.700
in the labor
00:41:04.820
force?
00:41:05.840
It is
00:41:06.500
immoral for
00:41:07.560
them to take
00:41:08.240
part in this
00:41:09.060
big lie of
00:41:10.240
characterizing
00:41:11.160
this as
00:41:11.800
some kind
00:41:12.260
of a
00:41:12.600
humanitarian
00:41:13.200
crisis,
00:41:14.940
of turning
00:41:17.060
their backs
00:41:17.700
on the
00:41:18.840
Americans who
00:41:19.600
are harmed
00:41:20.120
by these
00:41:21.060
policies,
00:41:21.680
as you
00:41:22.020
said,
00:41:22.940
and
00:41:23.240
participating
00:41:24.100
in this
00:41:25.880
attempt to
00:41:28.500
dupe
00:41:29.300
Americans
00:41:29.940
into thinking
00:41:31.120
this is
00:41:31.760
something that
00:41:32.360
it isn't,
00:41:32.900
and acting
00:41:33.260
like this is
00:41:33.800
a force of
00:41:34.420
nature,
00:41:34.840
when it's
00:41:35.620
actually a
00:41:36.320
predictable
00:41:36.760
outcome of
00:41:37.700
deliberate
00:41:38.500
policy choices
00:41:39.660
that the
00:41:40.080
Biden
00:41:40.280
administration
00:41:40.820
has made,
00:41:42.480
and knowing
00:41:44.060
that they are
00:41:44.760
going to reap
00:41:45.300
certain benefits
00:41:46.120
from it
00:41:46.740
politically,
00:41:47.700
and even
00:41:48.880
financially.
00:41:50.060
You and I
00:41:50.860
have been
00:41:51.080
talking about
00:41:51.980
these issues
00:41:53.560
for decades,
00:41:55.280
and I would
00:41:57.880
like to
00:41:58.480
just,
00:41:59.340
everybody to
00:42:00.020
focus on
00:42:00.680
some realities
00:42:01.880
here.
00:42:02.620
You talked
00:42:03.480
about this
00:42:04.060
crisis, but
00:42:05.020
it's a crisis
00:42:05.660
of our
00:42:06.560
making.
00:42:07.280
It's a
00:42:07.920
crisis of
00:42:09.100
our making
00:42:09.620
because our
00:42:10.580
taxpayer money
00:42:11.480
goes to
00:42:12.040
those NGOs
00:42:12.900
who are
00:42:14.400
supporting
00:42:15.040
criminal
00:42:15.540
enterprises,
00:42:16.580
and transnational
00:42:18.340
cartels, as
00:42:20.240
you put it,
00:42:20.660
the Mexican
00:42:21.140
drug cartels,
00:42:22.220
is what we're
00:42:22.640
talking about.
00:42:24.040
They have
00:42:25.000
relationships and
00:42:26.720
networks with
00:42:27.780
the Chinese
00:42:28.900
triads as
00:42:30.340
well, and
00:42:30.900
that's where
00:42:31.280
most of the
00:42:32.320
fentanyl is
00:42:33.380
trafficked,
00:42:33.900
from China
00:42:34.640
to Mexico,
00:42:36.400
into the
00:42:36.900
United States,
00:42:38.040
and the
00:42:38.340
result are
00:42:39.200
at least
00:42:39.580
100,000
00:42:40.580
overdose deaths
00:42:41.480
every year,
00:42:43.180
killing Americans
00:42:44.120
without comment,
00:42:45.440
and the fact
00:42:46.020
of the matter
00:42:46.480
is the
00:42:47.300
Democrats know
00:42:48.120
it, the
00:42:48.460
Republicans
00:42:49.000
know it,
00:42:50.400
guess what?
00:42:51.360
Every mayor,
00:42:52.960
every governor
00:42:53.860
in this country
00:42:54.820
knows it,
00:42:55.640
and they
00:42:56.240
are, well,
00:42:57.420
with great
00:42:58.260
exceptions,
00:42:59.080
including the
00:43:00.280
state of
00:43:00.680
Texas, the
00:43:01.940
state of
00:43:02.400
Florida, where
00:43:03.720
they are
00:43:04.260
making every
00:43:05.140
effort to
00:43:06.100
try to
00:43:07.160
stem the
00:43:08.400
flood of
00:43:10.260
illegal
00:43:10.600
immigration,
00:43:11.760
sex trafficking,
00:43:12.460
and deadly
00:43:13.200
drugs across
00:43:14.100
that border
00:43:14.680
and into
00:43:15.180
their states,
00:43:16.440
right?
00:43:17.580
Absolutely
00:43:18.140
right, and
00:43:19.340
it goes
00:43:20.020
further than
00:43:20.620
a lot of
00:43:20.940
people realize.
00:43:21.880
I sat at
00:43:22.520
a hearing a
00:43:23.680
few months
00:43:24.120
ago put on
00:43:25.620
by Senate
00:43:26.080
Republicans and
00:43:26.920
listened to a
00:43:27.660
mother of a
00:43:29.700
young woman who
00:43:30.540
had overdosed
00:43:31.660
on fentanyl
00:43:34.120
that had
00:43:34.860
been cut
00:43:35.400
into ordinary
00:43:36.820
sort of
00:43:37.780
recreational
00:43:38.320
street drugs
00:43:39.280
that are
00:43:39.680
marketed to
00:43:40.520
young people
00:43:41.380
making bad
00:43:42.300
choices who
00:43:43.340
have no idea
00:43:44.060
that they're
00:43:44.480
ingesting
00:43:44.920
fentanyl.
00:43:45.700
They think
00:43:46.000
they're taking
00:43:46.760
some kind of
00:43:47.340
a party
00:43:47.780
drug and it
00:43:48.420
turns out to
00:43:49.060
be laced
00:43:50.140
with fentanyl.
00:43:51.360
I mean,
00:43:51.520
there is a
00:43:52.140
human cost
00:43:53.060
to allowing
00:43:54.660
this open
00:43:55.320
border.
00:43:56.300
100,000
00:43:57.040
people dead
00:43:57.840
alone from
00:43:59.980
opiates and
00:44:00.740
fentanyl.
00:44:02.120
The state
00:44:03.820
of Rhode
00:44:04.160
Island not
00:44:05.020
long ago
00:44:05.760
made a
00:44:06.480
bust where
00:44:07.140
they found
00:44:07.820
someone with
00:44:08.780
41 kilos
00:44:10.740
of fentanyl.
00:44:12.420
Good Lord.
00:44:13.360
Which is an
00:44:14.320
extraordinary
00:44:15.200
amount of
00:44:16.060
it, and of
00:44:16.740
course it was
00:44:17.460
being trafficked
00:44:18.300
by, in this
00:44:19.500
case, Dominicans,
00:44:22.080
illegal aliens
00:44:23.040
from the
00:44:23.420
Dominican
00:44:23.740
Republic,
00:44:24.660
with fake
00:44:25.580
IDs that
00:44:27.180
they got
00:44:27.700
from stealing
00:44:28.420
the social
00:44:28.880
security numbers
00:44:29.740
of U.S.
00:44:30.700
citizens from
00:44:31.360
Puerto Rico
00:44:32.060
that enabled
00:44:33.440
them to hide
00:44:34.120
in plain sight
00:44:34.840
here and get
00:44:35.380
driver's licenses
00:44:36.280
and so on.
00:44:37.360
But yeah,
00:44:37.860
it's a horrible
00:44:39.520
tragedy that is
00:44:40.760
occurring before
00:44:42.160
our eyes and
00:44:43.360
that is being
00:44:43.860
ignored by the
00:44:45.780
open borders
00:44:46.520
advocates.
00:44:47.980
The open
00:44:48.340
borders advocates.
00:44:49.820
You know,
00:44:50.020
there was one
00:44:50.640
president who
00:44:52.020
decided to take
00:44:53.420
on the cartels.
00:44:54.660
And that, of
00:44:56.500
course, was
00:44:56.960
Donald Trump.
00:44:58.220
The 45th
00:44:59.160
president is the
00:44:59.960
only president
00:45:00.740
who's had the
00:45:01.540
guts to say
00:45:02.720
that he was
00:45:04.260
going to take
00:45:04.880
on these
00:45:05.400
cartels.
00:45:06.660
And guess what
00:45:07.480
the result is?
00:45:08.800
Every corporation,
00:45:10.460
seemingly,
00:45:11.180
every corporation,
00:45:12.820
every business
00:45:14.980
on those borders,
00:45:16.580
every commerce
00:45:17.880
lobbyist,
00:45:19.160
every business
00:45:21.460
roundtable
00:45:22.100
lobbyist,
00:45:23.380
Wall Street
00:45:23.960
lobbyist,
00:45:24.860
went after his
00:45:25.620
hide.
00:45:26.560
And they don't
00:45:27.460
want to talk
00:45:27.980
about the
00:45:28.360
cartels.
00:45:28.940
They don't
00:45:29.160
want to talk
00:45:29.640
about the
00:45:30.040
human cost.
00:45:30.880
And by the
00:45:31.200
way, just
00:45:31.940
recently, the
00:45:33.140
former executive
00:45:34.120
director of the
00:45:35.220
Black Caucus
00:45:36.180
Foundation talked
00:45:38.340
about something you
00:45:39.100
and I have been
00:45:39.600
talking about for
00:45:40.400
decades.
00:45:41.440
The cost to
00:45:42.820
American minorities
00:45:44.460
who then find
00:45:47.360
themselves in
00:45:48.060
competition with
00:45:49.000
these illegal
00:45:49.620
immigrants.
00:45:50.640
And by the way,
00:45:51.080
that's just the
00:45:51.680
most benign damage
00:45:53.260
that's being done
00:45:54.360
to the country.
00:45:55.640
It's not as
00:45:56.700
violent as the
00:45:58.040
overdose deaths.
00:45:59.180
It's not as
00:45:59.720
profound for the
00:46:04.020
country in some
00:46:04.880
respect as all of
00:46:07.440
the other economic
00:46:08.500
impacts.
00:46:09.440
But for African
00:46:11.440
Americans in
00:46:12.260
particular, it's
00:46:14.280
devastating.
00:46:15.460
It's a big
00:46:16.260
deal.
00:46:16.940
It's the denial
00:46:18.000
of job
00:46:18.920
opportunities because
00:46:20.020
of unfair
00:46:20.600
competition from
00:46:21.720
employers that
00:46:22.500
would rather hire
00:46:23.320
cheap illegal
00:46:24.020
labor.
00:46:25.360
It's, you know,
00:46:26.460
cutting off these
00:46:28.080
kids' opportunities
00:46:29.240
to build a life for
00:46:30.620
themselves of good
00:46:31.980
employment.
00:46:33.120
And it's destroying
00:46:34.480
their schools and
00:46:35.580
neighborhoods, too.
00:46:37.100
Yeah, I mean,
00:46:37.780
it's devastating.
00:46:39.720
That's all there is
00:46:40.520
to it, to every,
00:46:41.780
every American.
00:46:43.100
one way or the
00:46:44.860
other, except for
00:46:46.060
those who are in
00:46:46.800
direct profit of
00:46:47.880
it.
00:46:49.080
And so what are we
00:46:50.700
going to see
00:46:52.660
happen?
00:46:53.780
Greg Abbott, the
00:46:55.020
governor of Texas,
00:46:55.960
has done a marvelous
00:46:57.040
job of mobilizing his
00:46:58.640
state and trying to
00:47:00.900
secure that border.
00:47:03.260
Anybody else come to
00:47:05.040
mind in the states
00:47:07.020
with particularly
00:47:08.260
interesting initiatives
00:47:09.780
to try to stop
00:47:11.620
this illegal
00:47:12.260
immigration?
00:47:14.020
Yes, there are.
00:47:14.800
And yes, Governor
00:47:15.900
Abbott in Texas is
00:47:17.300
doing a good job.
00:47:18.360
He's trying to
00:47:19.480
prevent people from
00:47:20.780
getting into the
00:47:21.540
country to begin
00:47:22.400
with and to
00:47:23.180
backstop the border
00:47:24.260
patrol in catching
00:47:26.460
the gotaways and so
00:47:27.800
on.
00:47:28.340
But there are some
00:47:29.280
other states, you
00:47:29.960
know, every state, of
00:47:30.860
course, is a border
00:47:31.600
state.
00:47:32.580
You know, when the
00:47:33.680
border is not
00:47:34.180
controlled, that's
00:47:34.780
almost a cliche
00:47:35.440
nowadays.
00:47:35.980
So other governors
00:47:37.520
are trying things
00:47:38.320
as well.
00:47:38.920
Governor DeSantis
00:47:39.680
in Florida has
00:47:40.720
issued a series of
00:47:42.260
executive orders that
00:47:44.180
are doing a number
00:47:45.020
of important things.
00:47:46.260
And one of them is
00:47:47.060
to try to prevent
00:47:48.300
these illegal
00:47:50.940
border crossers from
00:47:52.040
being transported
00:47:53.060
into Florida, not
00:47:54.880
only to stop the
00:47:55.720
smuggling, but also
00:47:56.960
to stop the NGOs
00:47:58.660
from getting
00:47:59.320
contracts with the
00:48:00.400
federal government to
00:48:01.360
bring them in.
00:48:03.540
And so that's
00:48:04.340
really important to
00:48:05.180
just not play
00:48:05.980
along with this
00:48:07.780
catch-and-release
00:48:08.840
policy and say,
00:48:09.900
you know, they're
00:48:10.300
not coming here
00:48:10.940
that easily.
00:48:12.260
He's also going
00:48:13.140
after employers.
00:48:14.540
He's empowering
00:48:15.720
law enforcement
00:48:16.460
agencies to
00:48:17.280
enforce state
00:48:18.260
laws that, if
00:48:20.740
enforced, help
00:48:21.880
disrupt illegal
00:48:23.300
employment and
00:48:24.420
identity theft of
00:48:26.260
the kind that we've
00:48:26.920
been talking about.
00:48:27.940
So there definitely
00:48:29.040
are things that
00:48:30.000
states can do
00:48:30.840
beyond the
00:48:31.780
lawsuits, which
00:48:32.820
are also important
00:48:33.820
as well.
00:48:34.580
I don't want to
00:48:35.500
discount them to
00:48:36.960
fight it out in
00:48:37.720
court to try to...
00:48:40.300
Don't you think
00:48:41.800
we can discount
00:48:42.460
just about
00:48:43.080
everything that's
00:48:44.540
been done to
00:48:45.120
this point?
00:48:45.660
Because we're
00:48:46.240
looking at a
00:48:47.320
crisis, a
00:48:48.680
disaster on our
00:48:49.720
border.
00:48:50.180
We are watching
00:48:51.460
illegal immigrants
00:48:52.560
by the millions
00:48:53.480
coming into this
00:48:54.520
country, and what
00:48:57.100
are they doing?
00:48:57.840
They're going to
00:48:58.360
be counted, and
00:48:59.640
we're counted, in
00:49:00.880
the census.
00:49:01.320
Those states
00:49:02.560
where those
00:49:03.160
illegal immigrants
00:49:04.080
are will attract
00:49:06.400
more districts
00:49:07.580
for Congress,
00:49:08.580
more representation
00:49:09.480
in Congress
00:49:10.440
against every
00:49:11.860
citizen in the
00:49:12.620
country who
00:49:13.640
simply, simply
00:49:15.380
will be
00:49:15.840
underrepresented
00:49:16.720
because of these
00:49:17.940
millions of
00:49:18.580
illegal immigrants
00:49:19.400
who are coming
00:49:19.920
into the country.
00:49:21.200
And by the way,
00:49:22.680
how many of them
00:49:23.560
will be able to
00:49:24.180
vote illegally?
00:49:25.240
Because no one
00:49:26.360
is watching it,
00:49:27.160
certainly not the
00:49:27.800
Republican Party.
00:49:28.760
Well, that's
00:49:30.100
a two-pronged
00:49:32.460
strategy they
00:49:33.120
have, is to
00:49:33.760
flood the
00:49:35.020
districts with
00:49:35.980
new people who
00:49:37.480
aren't here
00:49:38.160
illegally to
00:49:39.100
boost certain
00:49:40.000
districts, but
00:49:40.740
also to pass
00:49:41.980
voting laws that
00:49:44.040
make it tough to
00:49:45.020
crack down on
00:49:46.080
illegal voting
00:49:47.000
itself.
00:49:48.160
So put the two
00:49:48.880
together, and
00:49:49.800
that's a recipe
00:49:50.580
for diluting, if
00:49:53.980
not denying, the
00:49:55.000
votes and the
00:49:55.740
will of Americans.
00:49:56.960
Yeah, it's
00:49:58.600
absolutely
00:49:59.540
horrific.
00:50:01.780
Why don't we
00:50:03.960
have somebody in
00:50:05.400
Congress that is
00:50:06.160
a champion of
00:50:07.840
the middle-class
00:50:09.600
working man and
00:50:11.640
woman, a champion
00:50:13.560
of small business
00:50:14.560
who says, this is
00:50:15.700
tearing us to
00:50:16.400
pieces.
00:50:17.340
Oh, sure, there
00:50:17.820
are some small
00:50:18.380
businesses that
00:50:19.160
benefit, principally
00:50:20.120
in Texas,
00:50:20.880
Louisiana, a
00:50:21.760
number of other
00:50:22.260
places, because
00:50:23.880
they are in
00:50:25.220
residential sales
00:50:27.220
there, and the
00:50:29.020
rental business,
00:50:29.860
whatever it may
00:50:30.400
be.
00:50:32.720
It's just
00:50:33.420
stunning to me
00:50:34.340
that no one
00:50:35.120
wants to see the
00:50:36.280
real result of
00:50:37.480
all of this.
00:50:38.960
And by the way,
00:50:39.860
why don't we ask
00:50:40.440
ourselves at the
00:50:41.280
same time, who's
00:50:42.580
paying off the
00:50:43.620
border patrol?
00:50:45.080
What does it
00:50:45.940
cost to bribe a
00:50:48.880
border patrol agent,
00:50:49.920
and how many are
00:50:50.720
taking bribes, and
00:50:52.060
why can't we
00:50:52.880
get a border
00:50:54.820
patrol that
00:50:55.940
stands up
00:50:56.660
against this
00:50:58.120
onslaught?
00:51:00.060
Well, there's
00:51:01.160
always a risk of
00:51:02.580
corruption, but I
00:51:03.400
think we can get a
00:51:04.940
border patrol that
00:51:05.680
stands up against
00:51:06.680
this, as long as,
00:51:07.840
first of all, we're
00:51:08.380
not constantly
00:51:09.040
enriching the
00:51:09.760
cartels, giving
00:51:10.620
them more money
00:51:11.880
with which to
00:51:12.840
corrupt public
00:51:13.740
officials, but
00:51:14.980
also through
00:51:15.520
policies and not
00:51:16.940
overwhelming the
00:51:18.000
border patrol with
00:51:19.380
all of this
00:51:20.040
illegal migration
00:51:21.540
so that they
00:51:22.960
can, if they're
00:51:23.880
not overwhelmed,
00:51:24.600
they can do
00:51:25.060
their job, and
00:51:26.400
they can take the
00:51:27.160
time to train and
00:51:28.660
monitor.
00:51:29.640
How many more
00:51:30.180
border patrol agents
00:51:31.140
do we have today
00:51:32.140
that we had a
00:51:32.840
decade ago, or
00:51:33.960
two decades ago?
00:51:35.420
We actually have a
00:51:36.280
lot more now than
00:51:37.340
we used to, and
00:51:38.340
most people think
00:51:40.200
that the answer is
00:51:40.800
not more border
00:51:41.660
patrol agents, but
00:51:43.040
letting them do
00:51:43.840
their job, and
00:51:45.340
not having policies
00:51:46.380
that undermine them.
00:51:47.580
I don't want to
00:51:48.100
let them do their
00:51:49.820
job, I want a
00:51:51.020
border patrol that
00:51:51.820
wants to do its
00:51:52.880
job, a leadership
00:51:54.320
who makes certain
00:51:55.740
that they're doing
00:51:56.360
their job, a
00:51:57.160
Congress that has
00:51:58.240
oversight, a
00:51:59.520
president who
00:52:00.360
demands it.
00:52:01.760
This is madness
00:52:03.180
what we're
00:52:03.680
watching.
00:52:04.360
We're building
00:52:04.920
another giant
00:52:06.160
bureaucracy in the
00:52:07.460
federal government,
00:52:08.360
and people walk
00:52:09.300
around on the
00:52:10.760
border saying, I'm
00:52:11.460
a border patrol
00:52:12.120
agent.
00:52:12.800
The only problem
00:52:13.300
is they're not
00:52:14.100
patrolling anything,
00:52:15.160
they're not
00:52:15.580
apprehending anyone,
00:52:17.280
and if they do,
00:52:18.320
they're released
00:52:18.920
into the
00:52:19.360
country.
00:52:19.800
And by the
00:52:20.280
way, it's
00:52:20.840
not like the
00:52:22.020
illegal immigrants
00:52:23.660
or the sex
00:52:24.500
trafficking, those
00:52:25.760
people sort of
00:52:26.520
hide in the dark
00:52:27.500
and make their
00:52:28.080
way north.
00:52:29.260
They're being
00:52:30.000
picked up by
00:52:31.000
government-chartered
00:52:32.080
aircraft and
00:52:33.400
deposited in the
00:52:34.440
dead of night in
00:52:35.900
communities all over
00:52:37.180
this country by the
00:52:38.280
Biden administration,
00:52:40.040
and nobody wants
00:52:41.260
to focus on it.
00:52:43.580
Well, we have to
00:52:44.880
have hope that there
00:52:46.180
are enough people
00:52:47.020
out there, whether
00:52:47.780
they're in the
00:52:48.420
border patrol or
00:52:49.560
in ICE, who are
00:52:50.960
going to outlast
00:52:52.000
the Biden
00:52:52.640
administration and
00:52:54.180
remember what
00:52:55.680
oath they took
00:52:56.560
and know what
00:52:59.140
they owe to the
00:53:00.600
citizens of this
00:53:01.380
country who pay
00:53:02.120
their salaries and
00:53:03.220
who they want to
00:53:05.260
serve.
00:53:06.900
I like to think
00:53:08.120
that they're going
00:53:09.260
to outlast these
00:53:10.280
bad policies.
00:53:11.300
It's going to
00:53:11.660
take a while,
00:53:12.340
it's painful, and
00:53:13.280
some of this
00:53:13.720
damage, frankly,
00:53:14.500
can't be undone.
00:53:15.420
But, you know,
00:53:16.900
we have to get
00:53:17.420
up and go to
00:53:17.840
work every day
00:53:18.520
and keep fighting
00:53:19.180
for it.
00:53:20.280
Yeah, I understand
00:53:22.240
what you're saying,
00:53:23.000
I understand why.
00:53:24.860
But getting up and
00:53:25.780
going to work every
00:53:26.700
day and fighting,
00:53:28.180
when we've been
00:53:29.180
doing the same
00:53:29.800
things over and
00:53:31.040
over and over,
00:53:32.240
since 1986,
00:53:34.620
when the Reagan
00:53:35.940
amnesty took
00:53:37.760
place, we have
00:53:39.660
been absolutely
00:53:41.780
deceived by the
00:53:43.840
Democratic Party,
00:53:44.860
which has become
00:53:46.160
nothing more than
00:53:46.920
an agency for
00:53:47.860
illegal immigration
00:53:48.740
for the drugs
00:53:49.680
that are being
00:53:50.640
shipped by the
00:53:51.380
cartels, sex
00:53:52.720
traffic, and make
00:53:53.460
no mistake, they're
00:53:54.340
aligned with the
00:53:55.260
cartels, whether
00:53:56.460
intentionally or
00:53:57.560
otherwise.
00:53:58.780
They're aligned.
00:54:00.020
Corporate America
00:54:00.660
is aligned with
00:54:02.620
those cartels, and
00:54:04.680
their obscene,
00:54:07.320
corrupt profits.
00:54:10.400
It's disgusting.
00:54:11.560
It is, but I
00:54:13.800
mean, I'm
00:54:15.460
optimistic.
00:54:16.720
Donald Trump
00:54:17.280
showed people
00:54:18.080
that.
00:54:18.380
Let me finish
00:54:19.560
one thing.
00:54:20.340
Okay.
00:54:21.660
Why should we
00:54:23.340
not be direct and
00:54:24.980
honest about what
00:54:25.740
we're dealing with
00:54:26.400
here?
00:54:27.140
We have a corrupt
00:54:28.860
America that is
00:54:30.280
permitting this.
00:54:31.160
You mentioned the
00:54:31.900
Dominicans, the
00:54:32.700
gangs that come up
00:54:33.740
from the Dominicans,
00:54:34.720
primarily on the
00:54:35.820
East Coast.
00:54:37.340
But we've also
00:54:38.660
got MS-13, all of
00:54:40.480
the Central
00:54:40.980
American gangs
00:54:42.060
that are operating
00:54:42.980
here.
00:54:43.560
And when I say
00:54:44.680
gangs, I'm
00:54:45.300
talking about
00:54:46.100
transnational
00:54:47.300
gangs and
00:54:49.760
cartels that
00:54:50.860
have invaded
00:54:53.760
every city and
00:54:55.320
are part of this
00:54:56.320
crime wave that
00:54:57.960
is sweeping
00:54:58.640
America.
00:54:59.680
We've got to be
00:55:00.760
honest about
00:55:01.360
what's going on
00:55:02.100
here.
00:55:02.580
We've got to do
00:55:03.380
more than say
00:55:03.920
this is a policy
00:55:04.840
issue.
00:55:05.780
This is a
00:55:06.380
damn
00:55:06.780
existential
00:55:08.020
issue for
00:55:08.920
American society.
00:55:11.040
It really is
00:55:12.600
when you
00:55:13.380
consider the
00:55:14.280
corruption and
00:55:15.580
the violence
00:55:16.260
that enables
00:55:17.740
it can
00:55:18.960
infect our
00:55:20.660
government and
00:55:22.740
our communities,
00:55:23.840
particularly, you
00:55:24.840
know, with the
00:55:25.280
likes of MS-13
00:55:26.940
and their
00:55:28.460
extortion
00:55:29.360
rackets and
00:55:30.500
the way that
00:55:31.300
they can, you
00:55:32.960
know, because
00:55:33.380
they make so
00:55:34.120
much money and
00:55:35.180
instill so much
00:55:36.220
fear in
00:55:36.840
communities, they
00:55:38.320
can become
00:55:40.080
extremely powerful
00:55:41.300
because people are
00:55:42.460
afraid of them.
00:55:43.200
And we need to
00:55:44.280
say, we need to
00:55:45.060
say that something
00:55:46.400
like 40% of the
00:55:48.140
unaccompanied
00:55:48.720
minors, excuse
00:55:49.780
me, 40% of the
00:55:50.960
MS-13 members
00:55:52.200
arrested by ICE in
00:55:53.480
recent years
00:55:54.260
originally came
00:55:55.340
here as unaccompanied
00:55:57.300
minors.
00:55:57.800
And so to the
00:55:58.760
extent that we
00:55:59.480
allow these
00:56:01.580
kids to keep
00:56:02.980
coming here and
00:56:03.880
released into our
00:56:04.740
communities, we're
00:56:05.980
enabling MS-13 to
00:56:07.440
grow its ranks.
00:56:08.600
And the more
00:56:09.020
they become
00:56:09.760
entrenched here,
00:56:11.260
the harder they're
00:56:11.980
going to be to
00:56:13.000
uproot.
00:56:14.200
There have been
00:56:15.180
towns in
00:56:15.740
California where
00:56:16.960
political leaders
00:56:19.020
have been
00:56:20.320
bought off by
00:56:22.000
MS-13, perhaps
00:56:23.280
not directly,
00:56:24.420
and maybe
00:56:25.480
they're too
00:56:26.120
dim-witted to
00:56:26.960
realize where
00:56:28.160
this money is
00:56:28.740
coming from, but
00:56:29.520
it is a
00:56:30.300
corrupting and
00:56:31.020
can be a
00:56:31.660
deadly corrupting
00:56:32.740
influence, the
00:56:34.160
same way that
00:56:35.280
the mob and
00:56:36.860
other gangs and
00:56:40.080
criminal
00:56:40.840
organizations have
00:56:41.760
done it in the
00:56:42.440
past throughout
00:56:43.140
our history.
00:56:44.840
But yeah, we
00:56:46.080
can't sugarcoat
00:56:47.600
it, we can't
00:56:48.360
deny it's
00:56:49.000
happening, we
00:56:49.620
can't cover it
00:56:50.640
up by saying
00:56:51.280
these are just
00:56:51.900
kids seeking
00:56:52.620
asylum or
00:56:54.100
people fleeing
00:56:55.200
for a better
00:56:55.700
life.
00:56:56.900
We are
00:56:57.700
allowing criminal
00:56:59.480
enterprises to
00:57:00.260
flourish here.
00:57:01.160
And of course
00:57:01.880
that is the
00:57:02.420
fantasy perpetrated
00:57:03.620
by the
00:57:04.060
Chamber of
00:57:04.520
Commerce, by
00:57:05.180
the Business
00:57:05.640
Roundtable, the
00:57:06.900
NGOs that you
00:57:08.200
spoke of.
00:57:08.980
It is the
00:57:09.540
fantasy that so
00:57:11.540
many people want
00:57:12.320
to believe because
00:57:13.060
that's easier than
00:57:14.200
believing their
00:57:14.940
lying eyes as
00:57:15.900
they watch family
00:57:17.280
after family be
00:57:18.380
destroyed by these
00:57:19.580
drugs and
00:57:21.000
lives.
00:57:21.660
devastated if
00:57:24.220
not destroyed.
00:57:25.680
It's just, it's
00:57:26.900
a terrible thing.
00:57:27.960
And we have an
00:57:28.760
administration, as
00:57:30.360
we conclude here,
00:57:31.280
Jessica, and I
00:57:32.280
want to give you
00:57:32.720
the last word as
00:57:33.720
we try to do
00:57:35.840
every podcast, I
00:57:38.200
want to give you
00:57:38.940
the last word
00:57:40.020
because the
00:57:41.000
Biden administration
00:57:42.080
is trying to
00:57:43.080
break our
00:57:44.040
border.
00:57:45.040
No doubt about
00:57:46.060
it, our
00:57:46.360
immigration system.
00:57:47.840
They want the
00:57:48.760
open border
00:57:49.580
society to
00:57:50.520
prevail.
00:57:51.540
They're defying
00:57:52.560
federal law, the
00:57:53.660
Supreme Court, the
00:57:55.360
remain in Mexico
00:57:56.340
policy.
00:57:57.900
You know, you
00:57:58.680
know the numbers
00:57:59.260
far better than I
00:58:00.100
ever will, but we're
00:58:01.340
talking about
00:58:01.700
hundreds instead of
00:58:02.860
tens of thousands
00:58:04.100
who should be in
00:58:07.200
Mexico on the
00:58:08.220
remain policy.
00:58:11.660
This administration
00:58:12.900
is flouting the
00:58:13.920
law, flouting its
00:58:15.980
responsibility to act
00:58:18.840
in the national
00:58:19.540
interest.
00:58:20.080
It is absolutely
00:58:20.900
a crisis, but
00:58:22.220
it's also a
00:58:23.060
disgusting
00:58:23.880
abandonment and
00:58:25.820
betrayal that the
00:58:27.300
American people
00:58:28.220
are the, right
00:58:30.560
now, the passive
00:58:31.880
victims of.
00:58:33.480
Your last word.
00:58:35.600
Well, you're
00:58:36.620
right.
00:58:36.900
I mean, it is
00:58:37.940
disturbing to see
00:58:39.200
that the Biden
00:58:40.840
administration is
00:58:41.760
willing to even
00:58:43.700
behave in contempt
00:58:45.440
of federal courts
00:58:46.540
after having been
00:58:47.420
ordered to restart
00:58:49.160
the successful
00:58:50.520
remain in Mexico
00:58:51.500
program, only
00:58:52.660
subjecting 300
00:58:54.380
people to it when
00:58:56.180
there were more
00:58:56.960
than 170,000
00:58:58.620
people caught at
00:58:59.880
the border.
00:59:00.620
This is how far
00:59:01.720
they're willing to
00:59:02.500
go to enact
00:59:03.740
their no borders
00:59:05.220
agenda, to defy
00:59:06.620
federal court
00:59:07.360
orders all in
00:59:08.500
service of
00:59:09.120
something they
00:59:09.620
think that is
00:59:10.480
going to keep
00:59:11.080
them in power for
00:59:12.880
years to come.
00:59:13.840
But we're also
00:59:15.020
seeing a realignment
00:59:16.280
of even some
00:59:17.500
mainstream politicians
00:59:19.200
who understand what
00:59:20.500
Donald Trump
00:59:21.300
showed, which is
00:59:22.200
that Americans
00:59:23.320
think borders are
00:59:24.980
fundamental to our
00:59:26.060
sovereignty and want
00:59:26.940
to see them
00:59:27.420
enforced, and that
00:59:28.500
that's a politically
00:59:29.960
winning position
00:59:31.640
that they all need
00:59:33.080
to adopt if they
00:59:34.220
want to stay
00:59:34.760
employed in
00:59:36.140
government and
00:59:38.040
representing American
00:59:39.300
voters, that
00:59:39.880
ultimately the
00:59:40.940
people's voice
00:59:41.940
has to be
00:59:43.360
followed if
00:59:45.180
they want to
00:59:45.720
keep their jobs.
00:59:47.460
Yeah, unfortunately
00:59:48.020
the people are
00:59:49.740
being told by
00:59:50.560
by government
00:59:51.860
that they are
00:59:53.320
the people's
00:59:54.660
enemy, whether
00:59:55.960
it's the attorney
00:59:56.540
general saying
00:59:57.480
that he is
00:59:59.120
going to go
00:59:59.780
after parents
01:00:00.580
and school board
01:00:01.280
meetings as
01:00:01.860
domestic terrorists,
01:00:03.360
whether it's the
01:00:04.100
January 6th
01:00:05.120
committee, which
01:00:06.500
is just a rank
01:00:07.360
sham Soviet
01:00:09.020
style.
01:00:11.040
Soviet era
01:00:12.780
show trial.
01:00:14.480
It's disgusting.
01:00:15.620
It's disgusting
01:00:16.340
how corrupt
01:00:16.980
this country is
01:00:17.940
and the
01:00:18.680
passivity with
01:00:19.600
which we
01:00:21.240
seem to be
01:00:22.000
checked by
01:00:23.760
our government.
01:00:27.540
Jessica, thanks
01:00:28.280
for everything
01:00:28.740
you do.
01:00:29.240
I hope you'll
01:00:29.920
come back soon.
01:00:30.820
We've got a lot
01:00:31.480
to talk about.
01:00:32.420
This crisis is
01:00:33.200
only going to
01:00:33.840
get worse and
01:00:35.000
much bigger.
01:00:36.420
Thanks so much
01:00:37.180
for being with
01:00:37.740
us.
01:00:38.040

01:00:39.780
Immigration Studies.
01:00:40.900
Thank you, Jessica.
01:00:42.360
My great pleasure.
01:00:43.380
Thank you.

Thank you.

Join us again

01:00:46.300
Great America
01:00:46.940
podcast.
01:00:47.940
Stay in the
01:00:48.440
fight.
01:00:48.900
Truth, justice,
01:00:49.940
and the American
01:00:50.400
way will prevail
01:00:51.520
against all
01:00:52.380
enemies, against
01:00:53.360
all odds.
01:00:54.320
Thank you.
01:00:54.520
Thank you.
