The NXR Podcast - CN Weekly - Did We Betray President Trump？

00:00:00.000 It's no secret that I and our team at NXR Studios have been very blatantly critical of Donald Trump.

00:00:08.580 We did not get what we voted for.

00:00:10.400 I don't want to be charged with being naive because a lot of people will say,

00:00:13.240 well, don't you know, it's like that man in the arena.

00:00:15.460 It's not the critic who counts.

00:00:16.820 It's easy.

00:00:17.500 I saw an Indian restaurant that had filed for H-1B visas for business operations for a restaurant.

00:00:23.100 Saying, oh, we can't find any qualified Americans. 0.95

00:00:25.520 We need this foreign labor to fill this job. 1.00

00:00:27.760 The average Indian immigrant, they will bring in. 1.00

00:00:29.500 5.9. 5.9 family members over their lifetime. They're like human magnets, right? The plan

00:00:35.240 trusters, it's hard, tough thing to have to look your dad in the eye and tell him you're gay. There 0.95

00:00:39.800 is a fine line between hope and cope. You actually cannot have true Christian hope 1.00

00:00:46.000 while living in delusion. What they're doing is deceiving their base that attempts are actually 0.97

00:00:54.160 accomplishments radical christian nationalist pastor joel webin joel webin

00:01:03.320 joel webin is an accident

00:01:24.160 It's no secret that I and our team at NXR Studios have been very blatantly critical of Donald Trump.

00:01:35.040 But that is not the way that we always spoke regarding Donald Trump.

00:01:39.240 We were very much in his corner.

00:01:41.600 And to be honest, we're still rooting for him, right?

00:01:44.580 1 Corinthians 13 says, love hopes all things.

00:01:47.020 We hope that Donald Trump stops betraying his base.

00:01:50.240 we hope that he ends up being half the man that we actually voted for but when he gets things

00:01:56.600 wrong we're going to call it as we see it when he gets things right we're going to give credence

00:02:02.280 and appreciation as well calling balls and strikes that's what we've done from the beginning all the

00:02:07.860 way back in 2024 during the campaign and what we want to remind the listener of today are some of

00:02:13.420 the things that we have said along the way and then in this episode we're going to take time

00:02:18.660 to point out some of our suspicions given the recent news right are we so back 200,000 visas

00:02:24.940 they're revoked right they're revoked right we're going to share our suspicions at the same time we

00:02:31.920 also are going to give our encouragements there are some hopeful signs but none of them are yet

00:02:37.860 definitive so we will cheer and we will chimp that's what we're going to be getting in today

00:02:43.440 But first, let's rewind the tape and show you a montage of some of the things that we have said and have been right to say all along.

00:02:52.100 So my hope is that, you know, with a Trump presidency and especially not just Trump himself, but with a Trump administration and guys like Vance and not just Vance.

00:03:00.700 But I mean, you're talking thousands of people, all the different people that would not be able to touch the levers of power with a 500 foot pole if Kamala got the election.

00:03:10.700 all of a sudden um they they get a voice they get uh they get a seat they get uh to influence

00:03:17.760 so we recognize uh that there are problems with trump of course there are um and just for the

00:03:22.940 record i you know like i i've seen you know some some guys on you know the more abolitionist side

00:03:27.880 of the aisle who we love uh but uh there was one in particular who said um you know you guys are

00:03:32.960 calling the christian nationalists are calling donald trump the christian prince i don't know

00:03:36.340 anybody who said that. So we don't think that Donald is the Christian prince, but we will take

00:03:42.180 him over Kamala every day of the week and twice on Sunday. So we're grateful for a Donald Trump

00:03:47.640 scenario. And Trump's not just better for our churches and our families and our nation. He's

00:03:52.200 better for the world. The world right now is rooting for Donald Trump to win. There will be

00:04:00.320 more peace with donald trump than there would be without him finally christians can vote for trump

00:04:07.980 and send a message to the gop by simply being relentlessly outspoken about their disapproval

00:04:14.780 with the compromise of republicans withholding your vote is not the only avenue for sending

00:04:20.700 a message and then lastly christians can do all of these things simultaneously none of them are

00:04:28.520 mutually exclusive no it's not just that you changed maga changed trump is not the same man

00:04:34.920 it's not just that you became more radical no trump became more liberal trump is is saying

00:04:41.640 out loud i mean he just said this um in his speech and then he's doubled down on it afterwards with

00:04:45.900 true social and certain statements that he's made just in the last 48 hours uh that for 2027 as we

00:04:51.740 head into the next year uh that he's ramping up the entire u.s economy to be a war machine

00:04:56.720 for, you know, for fighting Israel's war and, you know, absolutely decimating Iran.

00:05:02.300 And in order to do it and get the money, he's going to be cutting the benefits of your everyday

00:05:06.640 Americans. So health care, well, forget that. Cheap gas, forget that. Cheap groceries, forget

00:05:13.320 that. We're going to streamline the entire American economy towards one thing. And what is 0.91

00:05:19.700 that one thing? What are we going to benefit with? The one thing is to wipe one of the premier

00:05:24.500 players in the Middle East off of the map so that Israel can expand its borders, achieve

00:05:30.520 hegemony, and as Bibby just came out in the last 72 hours and said verbatim out of his

00:05:35.100 own mouth, become a superpower.

00:05:37.900 The simplest explanation is he's just arrogant, and he is morally culpable for his pride, 0.94

00:05:43.880 his sin of pride.

00:05:45.280 And in his pride, he exalted those who would flatter him and banished all those who would

00:05:51.100 tell him the truth.

00:05:52.720 All right, there you have it.

00:05:54.200 So what you'll see in that montage of clips is we gave the date so you can actually see the chronological timeline, the evolution of our view of Trump and how he's doing along the way back in 2024 and maybe early 25.

00:06:07.200 But especially 2024, we said things that I actually still agree with, that Trump would be better than Kamala, that that's kind of a no brainer, that there are certain positives about Trump.

00:06:19.000 But even then, all the way back in 2024, we were giving the nuance.

00:06:23.320 We were giving the disclaimer.

00:06:24.520 We were hedging our bets and saying, no, Trump is not the Christian prince.

00:06:28.100 And yes, there are still big problems with Trump.

00:06:30.640 We acknowledge all those things.

00:06:31.820 Really, in that entire montage, you'll see, one, our view evolving.

00:06:36.160 But two, there's really only one thing back in 2024 that I said that I want to take a moment and just admit,

00:06:43.260 and we've done this several times, but to do it again for the record,

00:06:45.680 that i was objectively wrong on where there was not a hedging of bets where i didn't offer the

00:06:51.240 nuance or the disclaimer i was just wrong and that was i said if trump is elected president

00:06:56.340 it won't just be good for america it'll be good for the world that there would be world peace or

00:07:01.600 a greater degree of peace under trump's presidency than kamala's and the reality is that's a non 0.99

00:07:06.840 falsifiable statement so maybe kamala would have been worse maybe she would be blasting iran twice

00:07:12.140 is hard but let's just be honest Trump has set the bar pretty high for starting wars in the Middle

00:07:19.700 East and so for Kamala to outdo Trump in terms of launching missiles on foreign nations at the

00:07:26.200 behest of other foreign nations for their benefit instead of our own that's a high bar and as bad 1.00

00:07:32.120 as Kamala is I don't know if she would even have the competency to be as much of an aggravator

00:07:39.660 an agitator as Trump has been with the military and with war on the world stage so that is one

00:07:47.300 area back in 2024 where I want to just go on record and say as far as I can tell maybe Kamala

00:07:53.620 would have been worse but as far as we can tell I was wrong about that everything else we gravitated

00:07:58.900 early moving along I mean there are people who are still sitting there moving the goalposts and

00:08:04.380 saying, well, Trump said no new wars. Wars, S, plural. And it's only one new war. I mean,

00:08:10.720 you've got the cat turds and you've got all these usual suspects still holding tight to MAGA

00:08:16.780 and having to compromise all along the way. So we have actually gravitated and evolved and said,

00:08:22.860 no, we said that we would hold Trump accountable if he messed up. And here we are doing that.

00:08:28.140 And even when we were pushing Trump during the election in 2024, we pushed him with caveats,

00:08:33.900 acknowledging he's not the Christian prince. As far as we can tell, he's not even a Christian

00:08:38.560 himself. And so we gave the nuances, we gave these areas of hedging our bet the only mistake

00:08:45.420 that I would acknowledge. And it's important. If you're listening to someone, they don't have to

00:08:50.360 have 100% record being right about everything. My problem with so many political pundits,

00:08:55.000 so many cultural commentators, is not that they're occasionally wrong. The problem is that

00:09:00.440 some of them are like always wrong. And the same guys who are wrong so often, what they never do

00:09:06.120 is they never rewind the tape and ever admit that they were wrong. So one thing that I want to own

00:09:11.580 is I said back in 2024 that Donald Trump wouldn't just be better than Kamala domestically.

00:09:18.040 I think that that still stands, but that he would be better on the issue of world peace, right? This

00:09:24.120 peace through strength, walking around with a big stick. Donald Trump would be better not just for

00:09:28.540 america but for the world specifically on the issue of peace that was wrong i apologize all

00:09:34.340 right let's get into i just want to say really quick on on the point of world peace it's not

00:09:38.620 just his words no new wars that that gave us good reason to actually think that that would be true

00:09:43.420 right if you look at his first administration whether it's with the abraham accords and

00:09:46.800 a genuine desire to seek peace in the middle east between israel and and the other arab states or

00:09:52.060 even i think there's pretty good evidence to suggest that uh the only reason russia invaded

00:09:56.700 Ukraine was because Trump was leaving the presidency. He was out of the presidency, right?

00:10:01.240 And so he was, I think, a big deterrent to that war as well that's happening in Eastern Europe.

00:10:07.640 And it's only really now, I mean, obviously we know what's going on in Iran and we've talked

00:10:11.920 about that ad nauseum, but really even with what's going on in Russia and Ukraine, having

00:10:16.720 inherited this war, he has much less flexibility or diplomatic power really to affect any change

00:10:25.240 in that war as well. So I just want to say to cover the basis and say, I think that's a perfectly

00:10:30.100 reasonable thing to have said in 2024. And I think a lot of people, including centrist, moderates,

00:10:36.080 libertarians, independents, a lot of people would have agreed with that statement.

00:10:39.140 There's something sacred about bedtime. See, long after childhood has passed on by,

00:10:44.280 your children will probably forget all the toys that they had or the clothes that they wore,

00:10:49.160 but they'll never forget the nights that mom and dad tucked them in and prayed with them,

00:10:54.140 immersing them even from the most tender age in the Word of God.

00:12:05.460 but we're going to walk through briefly where our criticism started it's easy to have amnesia

00:12:09.460 and politics and it was about a year ago that we went from those who love trump who pushed him

00:12:13.880 we celebrated the early wins with the trump administration administration especially the

00:12:18.160 people that he was appointing to different roles but it was about a year ago that we said hey

00:12:22.060 actually this isn't us and the first issue was the epstein files and how it's handled and i want to

00:12:26.760 read for you trump's own words about his supporters remember this is july 2025 six months into the

00:12:32.580 administration he said this my past supporters have bought in hook line and sinker to this epstein

00:12:38.120 narrative let these weaklings continue forward and do the democrats work because i don't want

00:12:44.240 their support anymore again if you remember the biggest batch of the epstein files that we spent

00:12:49.420 lots of time talking about because in the files you could see epstein's and those he was talking 0.98

00:12:54.580 with you could see them talking in terms like we let the goyim play around in stocks and everything

00:13:00.360 we the jew make money in these ways so these files as of july of last year had not been released and

00:13:06.940 there were people like thomas massey in congress and his supporters saying we deserve more we 0.92

00:13:12.200 deserve answers we want transparency he said i want nothing to do with these weaklings they're

00:13:17.240 doing work on behalf of the democrat party i don't even want their support anymore couple months

00:13:22.120 later 50 year mortgage same thing we came out and said this is the united states of usury a 50 year

00:13:29.580 mortgage your entire lifetime paying over and above your principal many times over on this

00:13:35.500 mortgage to not even reduce your principal payment a little bit didn't we title like a

00:13:39.860 full episode that was the title of the united states of usury hey we don't like this so real

00:13:44.620 and remember a lot of your favorite influencers what happened when uh trump picked on people for

00:13:49.060 the epstein files look the other way what happened we touted a 50-year mortgage look the other way

00:13:53.380 what happened when war broke out in february of this year what did they do well hey there's not

00:13:58.780 boots in the ground well hey americans haven't died well hey a lot of americans haven't died

00:14:03.100 remember in the first few weeks guys this is going to be in and out like venezuela a quick strike

00:14:08.240 decapitate the head we're not going to be in this thing for six months and then in april and i

00:14:13.800 remember the first episode we came out we said maybe good for the u.s hedged our bets we were

00:14:19.040 careful definitely good for israel that was for sure and then two months in as the war continued

00:14:23.840 and continued and continued as you have here for example the largest supply disruption in the

00:14:28.540 history of the global oil market inflation 2.9 when the strikes begin 3.7 in july gas right now

00:14:36.960 at $4.10 a gallon average, driving all of your costs up, we said, nope, we don't like this war.

00:14:42.380 We didn't like the mortgage thing. We didn't like the Epstein thing. We don't like this war.

00:14:45.940 We did not get what we voted for. This is not even taking into account deportations,

00:14:49.780 which are happening at a low rate. The admins stopped publishing those numbers. So all of our

00:14:54.160 criticism stemmed from real objective metrics by which we said, we asked for more. We voted for

00:15:02.680 more. On deportations, one of his 20 campaign promises, one of them was Ukraine, which he 0.93

00:15:07.380 failed to live up to. The other, the largest mass deportation operation in American history. So this

00:15:13.660 is his own promise to us. You, voter, this is my promise of what we will do. And we began a year

00:15:19.420 ago to call him out. Now, fast forward to this week. If you were calling him out, well, number

00:15:26.580 of headlines came out and it looked like the plan is back on track. So the headlines were 200,000

00:15:31.460 immigrant visas planned to be revoked this was a leaked potential ruling published a hundred and

00:15:37.160 three thousand dollar work visa fee you also had a uh pausing on immigration visa appointments

00:15:44.260 worldwide so worldwide tons of people that had different appointments to get their visas approved

00:15:48.480 all of them canceled without being rescheduled without being told when they'd be put back on

00:15:53.160 and for a moment there right in that that first kind of 24 hours be like you guys didn't trust

00:15:58.300 the plan what you didn't trust Donald Trump look at all he's doing we're getting everything all you

00:16:03.440 had to do was just wait a couple months trust the Don hold yourself back be self-controlled

00:16:09.600 but you couldn't so the question is do we have egg on our face should we have trusted the plan

00:16:15.120 all along were those criticisms valid what do you guys think well I just want to say one thing

00:16:20.180 quickly on the Epstein front right it would be one thing for for Trump to be saying that and

00:16:24.260 this is why it's so offensive it'd be one thing for him to be saying that uh where it's it's

00:16:28.420 clearly a political tactic by the left to attack him and right so it's the left is making this

00:16:33.300 about well trump's in power and it's trump's attorney general and they should be releasing

00:16:36.580 the epstein files but you have to remember this is something and i know you said this west this

00:16:41.360 is something he ran on right so how many of us when we were looking at donald trump in 2024

00:16:46.120 thinking he's going to expose the epstein files and this pedophilic elite um that's that's literally

00:16:52.380 trafficking young girls all across the country and all across the world for that matter how many

00:16:56.680 people were looking at Trump thinking he would he would bring justice to that situation so many

00:17:01.140 so many Republicans thought that and so for you to turn on a dime in an instant and then mock your

00:17:07.900 supporters as if a wool or a ruse has been pulled over them and now all of a sudden they're not

00:17:14.080 seeing things for as they as they actually are that that is betrayal that is betrayal I don't

00:17:19.760 know what else to say it's like if i ran on something i said this thing and then one year

00:17:23.940 later lo and behold let's pretend i never said that actually and if you think i said that or 0.92

00:17:29.320 you think that i was going to do this or run on this uh you're a traitor incredible all right

00:17:36.820 let's go through the headlines let's see if they're fact or fiction let's see if what we're

00:17:40.560 getting is what we voted for starting for first pause on immigration visas worldwide so worldwide

00:17:46.320 if you want to immigrate to the United States, and specifically immigration visas.

00:17:50.120 So work visas, they're not necessarily, now of course they've been maligned and they've

00:17:54.100 been misused, generally your Opt-1 visas, your O-1s, your L-1s, your H-1Bs, they're

00:17:59.080 not intended to be permanent residents.

00:18:01.240 That's not you giving up your residents in India, your residents in China, and saying

00:18:04.780 I'm permanently establishing domicile here in the United States.

00:18:09.040 That's what are called immigrant visas.

00:18:10.600 And over this past week, worldwide, all over the world, a bunch of people reported I was

00:18:15.260 scheduled for my appointment on Tuesday, scheduled on Wednesday. I was supposed to come in, have my

00:18:19.120 final appointment. It was canceled without notice, canceled without reason, and not rescheduled.

00:18:23.980 And of course, to those who trusted the plan, there it is. Vindication. Trump has ended immigration

00:18:30.440 worldwide. Legal immigration is over. Now, here's the facts. The state issued a pause on immigrant

00:18:37.020 visas. Now, remember, these are not work visas. Work visas have been the thing that have hollowed

00:18:41.340 out the american middle class the state department issued a pause on immigrant visa appointments

00:18:46.080 worldwide launching a global training initiative at all embassies and consulates the training is

00:18:51.820 on screening applicants at risk of becoming a public charge which is means to say are these

00:18:56.940 individuals that want to come here and live here at risk of collecting welfare here's the deal

00:19:02.120 it's temporary and short state department officials said the pause began early august

00:19:05.660 and isn't expected to last beyond early to mid-September,

00:19:10.220 and this is a response to a court loss.

00:19:12.300 You're going to notice a theme with all of these stories coming across.

00:19:14.860 You lose in court, you come back, you try another way.

00:19:17.520 On August 21st, a federal court struck down as unlawful

00:19:20.200 the earlier pause on visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries,

00:19:24.440 which is insane.

00:19:25.460 The judiciary telling the executive branch,

00:19:27.880 you can't pause immigration from this country. 0.94

00:19:30.060 I'm sorry, yes, you can.

00:19:31.420 This is the executive branch.

00:19:32.540 This is the authority imparted to him.

00:19:34.820 what if the judge is from one of these countries clear conflict of interest anyhow judge said no

00:19:39.900 you can't pause visas from these 75 countries the judge ruled the ban violated anti-discrimination

00:19:44.640 protections and federal immigration law and was a direct abrogation of consular's office

00:19:49.040 congressionally granted authority so the training move i applaud it i think it's i think it's shrewd

00:19:54.420 is them coming back and saying okay i guess we have to issue these visas we're going to pause

00:19:59.500 for six weeks though make sure we're good and trained up and to steel man it this is a more 0.77

00:20:04.300 durable path a blanket country ban so no more immigrants from somalia it's hard it's easy to

00:20:09.940 block in court individualized public charge finding by trained consular officers oh denied

00:20:15.960 you're going to be a welfare risk denied denied denied that's actually much harder to challenge

00:20:20.860 so losing in court rebuilding the policy on firmer legal ground may be the more effective version

00:20:25.960 but here's the point though legal immigration is not done end of september early october we will

00:20:31.520 be back to holding these appointments, to letting people in that have proved, at least at some level,

00:20:36.500 hopefully there'll be a benefit to the United States. And again, this is the immigration visas.

00:20:39.920 This has nothing to do with H-1B visas, work visas, student visas. There's all kinds of other

00:20:45.960 visas where people are legally coming into the country and not just coming in to find

00:20:49.940 residency and perhaps be on the taxpayers' dime in terms of the welfare system. But those who

00:20:59.660 are coming in with a work visa or H-1B or those types of things. These are people who are actually

00:21:03.500 coming and taking your jobs. And the only thing on that front that I'm aware of is the $103,000

00:21:08.920 fine, which is kind of next on the docket. How's that shaping up? Lux Coffee Company is a specialty

00:21:15.240 roastery out of Northern Wisconsin. That's Lux Coffee Company, L-U-X. And yes, these guys are

00:21:21.340 personal friends. They're what I would consider to be a four pillars approved company. If you know,

00:21:26.900 you know. Stop buying your gay race communism coffee with your Christian dollars. These guys 1.00

00:21:32.920 are Christian nationalists. You should support them instead. And the best part is they actually 1.00

00:21:37.740 make great coffee. They specialize in roasting high quality single origin coffee. So go to

00:21:59.100 All right, so you may have remembered,

00:22:01.000 what was it, close to a year ago, Antonio?

00:22:02.600 The Trump admin came out and they said,

00:22:04.420 we are issuing a $100,000 entry fee fine

00:22:08.300 for all H-1B visa workers.

00:22:10.680 Remember, the H-1B visa is a skilled labor visa.

00:22:14.220 That is a company.

00:22:15.420 They are supposed to, by law, go to the government and say,

00:22:18.380 we cannot fill this position with any qualified American.

00:22:22.080 We cannot do it. 1.00

00:22:23.020 And so we are requesting a work visa for an immigrant from this country with a skill like a doctor, a skill like a lawyer to come into our country to do this job. 0.73

00:22:32.120 And just on that program specifically, because you might think, oh, well, the visa is designed for people who are like making $400,000 a year and are the best experts in their field.

00:22:42.700 That's not true.

00:22:44.040 The way that this visa actually works, if you want to think about a salary band, like who's getting an H-1B visa and what are they making?

00:22:49.520 What kind of jobs are they taking?

00:22:50.680 um it's it's anywhere from around a hundred thousand it can go upwards of north of 300,000

00:22:55.900 but so many of these visas are actually applicable for jobs somewhere between a hundred thousand and

00:23:01.520 two hundred thousand dollars a year so we're not talking about people who are genuinely

00:23:05.160 i've written these papers and i have all of this published research and i'm a phd there's actually

00:23:09.960 a separate visa for that they owe one no these people just do some kind of knowledge work so

00:23:16.100 it's like i'm a computer scientist or i'm a data scientist or i you know the list goes i have a

00:23:20.600 college degree. I saw an Indian restaurant, I believe it was in Houston, that had filed for

00:23:25.720 H-1B visas. I'll let you guess the country of origin that they would be coming from for business

00:23:30.940 operations for a restaurant. They filed multiple visa applicants saying, oh, we can't find any

00:23:35.620 qualified Americans. We need this foreign labor to fill this job. So a year ago, Trump admin came 0.98

00:23:41.240 out and said, $100,000 if you're going to come into the country. You're skilled labor. You're

00:23:45.520 here to provide a service. This fee should be no problem. Your business can pay it if you're that

00:23:49.260 important of course the courts struck it down so they came back you'll notice the theme here

00:23:54.420 initial attempt courts strike it down and there are these lawyers you have your department of

00:23:58.480 justice the department of homeland security they are working and there are good guys the

00:24:01.940 administration working behind the scenes to say how can this survive legal challenge so this past

00:24:08.080 week the department of homeland security published an nprm that is a notice of proposed rule making

00:24:12.940 so the office itself the department is saying we're going to make a rule that requires this

00:24:17.240 proposed laid out, here's the rule we are proposing to make. Basically, the rule that

00:24:21.580 they are considering establishing a $103,000 filing fee for all H-1B cap subject petitions.

00:24:28.880 Cap subject means there's caps for certain industries. It's like $85,000 a year. However,

00:24:33.940 hospitals, nonprofits, academic centers are not subject to that cap. That can be however many

00:24:38.760 they choose to issue. But for all H-1B cap subject petitions, including advanced degree

00:24:42.640 exemption petitions on top of all existing h1b fees applies to individuals hired within the u.s

00:24:48.020 so before it was 100 000 if you're coming in this one is for those visas specifically issued

00:24:53.260 on those cap subjects renewals are exempt remember hundreds of thousands of work visas

00:25:00.220 are issued in the biden administration they're already here and this fee does not cover renewals

00:25:06.100 it's also we got to be clear this is a proposal this is not a rule that has been enacted not a

00:25:11.980 single dollar of this fee has been issued and it has not survived a single court challenge we think

00:25:17.340 it's a great rule we think it's a great start but we've got to be honest this is a proposed piece of

00:25:22.740 paper that as of right now has no legal teeth a good step but so far from where we need to be and

00:25:29.560 not touching the core hundreds of thousands of people the average indian immigrant uh you look

00:25:35.240 at papers on this they will bring in 5.9 5.9 family members over their lifetime so they get

00:25:40.960 in with a work visa what do they do they go out they sponsor their sibling they sponsor their

00:25:45.620 parents their parents come in it's called chain migration that's what heart seller went to

00:25:49.580 prioritize so instead of prioritizing european immigration the 1924 johnson reed immigration act

00:25:54.820 where he said hey we want people from european christian countries that are compatible with

00:25:59.000 america the 1965 heart seller immigration act said we're going to prioritize bringing in family

00:26:04.320 members well what happens when those family members from the third world get in get established

00:26:09.120 and begin sponsoring dozens of other family members. 1.00

00:26:12.380 We have to not just stop the inflow.

00:26:15.560 The inflow will continue to come from the people here, 1.00

00:26:17.760 importing, sponsoring, bringing in all of their family members.

00:26:20.840 And this fee, as good as it is, does not touch that.

00:26:23.240 What Wesley is saying, it's a really important point

00:26:25.700 that I think a lot of people, especially plan trusters,

00:26:28.160 are simply just not aware of.

00:26:30.140 It is simply not sufficient to just say no more.

00:26:37.260 They're like human magnets. 1.00

00:26:39.120 each especially indian h1b guy who's already here if it's not for renewals h1b renewals

00:26:47.960 that these companies that keep hiring cheap indian labor foreign labor as a substitute to

00:26:54.940 actually giving good jobs to americans for all these companies big tech companies that have

00:27:01.220 already brought in all these indian h1b visas if they don't have to renew then they get to

00:27:07.860 perpetuate the employment of these Indians. And if they've been here for five years, 0.70

00:27:13.240 they probably already brought mom and dad. But again, statistically, 5.9, let's just call it

00:27:18.420 six people. There's four more Indians over the next five, 10, 15 years that they're going to 1.00

00:27:24.920 bring in also. So you are going to get, if it doesn't touch renewals, and right now it doesn't

00:27:31.180 touch anything. But right now, again, it's just theory. So nothing has currently happened,

00:27:38.680 right? The plan trusters, it's hard to be, I mean, that's a tough thing to have to look your dad in

00:27:44.280 the eye and tell him you're gay, you know, like it's tough to be a plan truster. All right. The 0.85

00:27:48.240 Panikins, yeah, you're usually right. And occasionally you have to do an episode like

00:27:53.560 this and actually get to the nitty gritty and be honest. A lot of the Panikins are not honest. And 1.00

00:27:58.560 you know, those are guys who more broadly on our team, but we would actually have strong

00:28:02.020 disagreements with. It's like, guys, now if you're going to levy a criticism, you need to do it with

00:28:06.440 objectivity, right? So there's the plan trusters. They're wrong, I would say, like always. And then

00:28:12.380 there's the Panikins. And depending how extreme they are with their rhetoric, if they just, 0.95

00:28:18.620 you know, cast all caution to the wind, they're wrong about 50% of the time. But my point in

00:28:25.240 saying all that is that the people who are probably right the most often is the nothing

00:28:33.140 ever happens bros. And so we just have to admit something could happen, right? This could be the

00:28:38.780 one time ever in the history of the world that something actually happens, that nothing ever

00:28:43.840 happening doesn't happen, but something happens. It could be, but as it currently stands, we

00:28:49.180 currently have nothing. So right now the top of the totem pole is the nothing ever happens bros.

00:28:55.240 This $103,000 fine, even that is not actually implemented.

00:28:59.680 That has not crossed the finish line.

00:29:01.820 Even if it does, though, our point is to say, because there's no system, there's no mitigating 1.00

00:29:07.740 factor for renewals, you still have all these Indian workers who are here who will be bringing

00:29:13.400 in 5.9 family members per Indian worker that's currently here.

00:29:19.180 And then even if we did get it to renewals, the last thing I wanted to mention, and I

00:29:24.020 pose this mainly to Antonio West more so as a question, but $103,000, this is not annual,

00:29:29.640 right? This is just a one-time fee to get that H-1B worker. Exactly. And so when you think about

00:29:35.700 that, why are companies... A filing fee. We've already established these big Fortune 500 companies

00:29:41.280 on American soil, American companies, are not hiring H-1B visa workers from India or from any

00:29:49.180 other country, for that matter, because these are indispensable, rare skills that they simply

00:29:54.000 can't find among American workers. We all know the reason why is because they can pay them less,

00:29:59.240 right? It's bottom line, GDP go up. My question is, if it's $103,000, but it's a one-time fee

00:30:07.980 and not annual, then how many years does the Indian H-1B worker for Apple or for Tesla or 0.80

00:30:16.320 for whatever it is, how many years do they have to work to where even if the company has to pay

00:30:21.760 a one-time, not ongoing, but one-time fee of $103,000, is it still cheaper for them to hire

00:30:28.300 that H-1B visa? And I'm guessing, all right, so I don't have the exact numbers in front of me,

00:30:32.440 but I'm guessing on average annually that they'll be able to pay these H-1B workers

00:30:37.200 anywhere from 20 to 50, even upwards of 70, 80, or $100,000 less than they would have to pay

00:30:45.140 an american so in some cases this would be more the rare cases albeit but in some cases

00:30:51.180 they pay that hundred and three thousand dollar fee within the first year of completion of that

00:30:56.340 h1b workers um job he's already paid it back because he was willing to work for 103 000 less

00:31:03.000 with his annual salary can pay 500 for rent because he can move into a dallas home with 0.77

00:31:07.860 five bedrooms and bunk with 15 other indians right because they have a tribal in-group mentality

00:31:14.040 So he can afford to be paid $65,000. 0.98

00:31:16.900 So exactly.

00:31:17.780 And even being careful or reasonable here, moderate, I think it's probably safe to say.

00:31:26.760 I'm just going to go out on a limb and say it because I think it's so safe to say.

00:31:29.460 I don't think there's any way that I'm going to be definitively or massively proven wrong.

00:31:35.300 I'm sure there's a margin of error.

00:31:36.800 But I think the average H-1B worker, on average, is probably paid between $20,000 to $60,000 less than an American annually.

00:31:47.700 And if that's the case, then you're talking about two to five years.

00:31:51.580 Because the renewal fee is something like $10,000.

00:31:54.660 Oh, there is a renewal fee.

00:31:55.680 There is a renewal fee, but it's much smaller.

00:31:57.540 But not renewal for guys who are already here, but for those new ones who are going forward. 0.60

00:32:02.300 No, so if you have an H-1B, you do have to renew it.

00:32:04.980 Okay, but it's about $10,000.

00:32:06.800 It's something like $10,000. Don't quote me.

00:32:08.560 Okay. So if it's, let's say it's $30,000 to $60,000, right? Take away the $10,000, right?

00:32:13.300 So now you're looking at $20,000 to $50,000. $20,000 to $50,000 with the $103,000 one-time

00:32:17.440 fee still puts you at anywhere from five to two, at minimum two years. So two to five years,

00:32:23.840 and it's paid back. But if you're a Fortune 500 company, you plan to have this person for 10

00:32:28.240 years, it's a no-brainer. Replace Americans, replace Americans, replace Americans. So the 0.96

00:32:34.180 point is this proposed plan is not enough because it doesn't get all the Indian H-1B magnets that 0.72

00:32:41.800 are already in the country attracting 5.9 family members over the course of their life to also get

00:32:47.560 into the United States. It does nothing for that. Number two, the $103,000 fine, again, it's still

00:32:54.200 in the realm of theory. It hasn't gone into effect. The nothing ever happens bros very likely will be

00:32:59.780 proven right once again. And three, even if it does come into being, it would only affect new H-1B

00:33:06.900 visas, workers, not the ones that are already here, attracting 5.9% of people. And even with

00:33:13.640 that fee, within two to five years, it's a wash. And then from there, it's pure profit incentive

00:33:20.860 for the Fortune 500 companies to continue to opt for that strategy rather than employing Americans.

00:33:26.260 what are we doing here yeah and i just want to drive this point home too on the chain migration

00:33:31.280 piece because i've seen it uh firsthand that this is how the system works what you'll have

00:33:37.220 foreign foreign students go to american universities why did they go to american

00:33:41.580 universities and why are they let in over an american applicant because they pay full tuition

00:33:45.660 they don't have any access to fafsa or any of these kind of federal aids or even for that matter

00:33:50.540 uh even for private universities often their specific aid why do private universities want

00:33:56.000 foreign students because they pay full tuition and help subsidize the scholarships that they

00:34:00.280 give to american students from there those foreign students get a degree at an american university

00:34:05.880 and what's the thing that they're looking at doing their senior year of high of college getting a

00:34:10.880 job a work visa so they can keep staying and student visa becomes work visa work visa becomes

00:34:16.900 some kind of residency and then a green card and then citizenship they want and not just for them

00:34:21.520 but them and four five six other people exactly so that so that's the point is that this isn't

00:34:27.280 just a it's it's marketed as a temporary visa but uh you can bet your bottom dollar 80 of people

00:34:33.860 probably not north of 90 actually i'm gonna be a little bit more more um bearish here night north 0.54

00:34:39.120 of 90 of these h1b applicants they want to live in america they want residency and this is a path

00:34:45.140 to it because think about it i went to university here for four years now i've been on h1b visa for 0.99

00:34:49.200 five years i've been here for 10 years how good does my application for a green card look yeah

00:34:53.260 pretty darn good right and so we just have to recognize that that's that's the objective that's

00:34:58.260 how the system works the way the game and i just want to say something because i you you had said

00:35:01.920 this west um i don't want to be charged with being naive because a lot of people will say well don't

00:35:07.940 you know it's like that man in the arena you know it's not it's not the critic who counts it's easy

00:35:12.980 for the for the never nothing ever happens bros to say that if david's fighting goliath and and

00:35:18.160 And you're saying – you're the guy standing back with your arms crossed saying he's going to lose.

00:35:22.420 Oh, look at that spin rotation on his sling.

00:35:24.500 You're right.

00:35:25.380 Good job. 0.99

00:35:26.320 You predicted – so we have to recognize that we are up against 60 years of an immigration system that is corrupt, that has all sorts of precedent, everything. 0.98

00:35:35.740 So it is difficult to do these things. 0.80

00:35:37.640 A judiciary pact with Obama-appointed judges.

00:35:40.500 Right.

00:35:40.920 And not to mention Congress can't get anything done, right?

00:35:43.480 So you have to do this through executive orders.

00:35:45.580 You have to do this through the deep state, the bureaucratic order.

00:35:48.160 And that is what the Trump administration is trying to do.

00:35:50.780 So we're not even saying that the approach that they're taking, which is let's pass an executive order, see if it holds legal scrutiny.

00:35:56.620 Oh, it got denied. Let's go back to the drawing board. Let's change some things.

00:36:00.060 Let's try this approach and see if that passes. Like that is the approach you have to take.

00:36:04.540 But you do need someone. We live in a democracy for better or worse.

00:36:09.220 You do need people who are spurring on the imperative, the impetus for the administration to continue doing that because it's it's hard.

00:36:18.140 It's hard if you're a lawyer and for the last year and a half, you've been trying to figure out how do we block visas.

00:36:23.520 And every every court order is saying you can't do that.

00:36:27.280 You can't do that.

00:36:27.820 They're nitpicking.

00:36:28.500 They're saying you can't.

00:36:29.640 It's tough work.

00:36:31.000 Where is the drive coming from?

00:36:32.220 Where is the political imperative coming from?

00:36:34.160 It's it's coming from American citizens who are saying this is not enough.

00:36:37.820 You need to get this done one way or another.

00:36:40.280 Exactly.

00:36:40.920 The best thing you could say about the Trump administration.

00:36:43.060 So briefly, another headline this week was 200000 visas revoked.

00:36:46.920 Well, first of all, it is a leak. It is a proposed rule. This is something else that, again, is not in place. And here's the deal. Well, I revoked your visa status. I didn't just say it. I declared it. Oh, and that removes the 200,000 visas. It's specifically B1 and B2 visas that you revoked. Oh, that removes them? Oh, no, it actually doesn't. Even ICE. ICE arrests, objectively, are record high. Did you hear me say the word arrests, though? Did I say deportation, flights out of here?

00:37:14.620 we've arrested a lot of these people so we've made arrests we've issued proposed rules we've

00:37:21.120 proposed fees we've done all of that and here is the good thing those have a chilling effect on 1.00

00:37:26.400 new immigration looking to come here you go to reddit you will see a bunch of indians saying

00:37:30.240 don't even bother america is continuing to clap down clamp down on immigration it's confusing

00:37:35.620 it's going to take you 180 years i think is the latest estimate some of the backlog so that is

00:37:40.560 good insofar as it's rhetoric that says, don't come here. We don't want you. It's going to cost

00:37:46.040 a lot of money. It's going to be a hard process. You're going to come to Frisco, Texas, where

00:37:49.960 realtors are telling people, hey, remove any signs in your home that you're an Indian who lived here

00:37:54.600 because people do not want to buy a home that smells like curry and had a God that you offered

00:37:59.100 incense to in an upstairs bedroom. So you're going to come in, you're going to face discrimination

00:38:02.680 in the housing market. You're going to face fees that could be leveled on you. You could have to

00:38:06.120 go back for your green card appointment all the way back in India. The Trump administration has

00:38:09.460 done some of that those are good but we need so much more that's what we're saying these are good 1.00

00:38:16.480 good steps good starts good proposed rules but we have a mandate to re-migrate millions of 0.97

00:38:22.840 individuals that have come here that have brought their gods that have brought their pagan worship

00:38:26.920 that are foreign to our customs foreign to our habits foreign to the american spirit and it is 0.91

00:38:32.000 our duty to re-migrate them to send them home to do it justly to do it graciously to do a christian 0.92

00:38:37.780 but to say you don't belong here you have a place that you need to go to and so a fee on new people 0.82

00:38:43.180 coming in that's great but my brother in christ we are five percent of the way there and some of us

00:38:48.540 will play that role some will be inside the administration working on all this paperwork

00:38:52.740 working on all these documents we need both yin and yang push and pull let's for a second let's

00:38:59.060 just talk you know the purpose of the system is what it does right like one of the criticisms

00:39:03.040 that's constantly levied by MAGA, by the plan trusters on guys like us, who would be more

00:39:08.960 comfortable in a Christian nationalist space or an America First space that would levy harsh

00:39:14.980 criticisms against Trump, rooting for him all the while, but criticizing him where we see fit.

00:39:20.320 One of the criticisms from the MAGA plan trusters towards our side of the aisle is that you guys,

00:39:27.280 the purpose of the system is what it does. And the purpose of your system, what it actually

00:39:32.780 does is it's going to turn out people to vote for Democrats, or at best, which we've never advocated

00:39:40.720 for that, but at minimum, it's going to hinder people, Republicans, from turning out to vote for

00:39:48.440 the GOP. That's their criticism. Here's ours, because I don't know if we've ever said this,

00:39:54.300 but just to make it really simple, because some people might be listening to this and say, well,

00:39:57.520 sure, yeah, I guess in the technical sense, you guys are right. 200 visas have not actually been

00:40:02.620 revoked, you know, and you guys are right. The $103,000 fine for H1 pieces has not actually been 0.91

00:40:09.040 put in place. And you're right. There's no renewal system with this. And you're right. 5.9 Indians

00:40:15.600 will come for each one that we, all, all those things are technically true, but guys, you're,

00:40:20.240 you know, I mean, faith, hope, and love, right? First Corinthians 13, 13, you know, the greatest

00:40:26.340 of these is love, but these three things remain faith, hope, and love. And you just, there's too

00:40:31.320 much despair in your rhetoric. You know, I feel like you guys have black pills. You're not as 0.98

00:40:36.000 hopeful as you used to be. And, you know, I just, you might be right, but where is the hope?

00:40:42.800 Where's the hopefulness? And this is why we do what we do. Just so you know, the plan trusters

00:40:49.600 would say America first, the purpose of the system is what it does. What it does is it mitigates

00:40:55.320 turnout for GOP elections, which lends towards Democrats, you know, winning. Well, the purpose

00:41:01.500 of the plan trusters, the purpose of their system is what it does, right? To be fair, equal weights

00:41:06.580 and measures, the purpose of their system, what that does is that they are constantly placating

00:41:12.220 conservatives and Christians in America. I cannot tell you how many people have reached out to me

00:41:20.240 And they actually think, right, because when Captive Dreamer or Cat Turd or, you know, fill in the blank, whoever it is, is saying 200 visas, 200,000 visas revoked, 103,000, they actually think that these things have happened.

00:41:33.420 So my concern with the plan trusters is not that they're hopeful, right?

00:41:39.120 Hopefulness is a good quality.

00:41:40.940 It's a good Christian characteristic.

00:41:43.180 My problem, though, is there is a fine line between hope and cope.

00:41:48.100 There is a fine line between, because true hopefulness admits reality.

00:41:54.240 In fact, let me say it this way. 0.85

00:41:56.000 You actually cannot have true Christian hope while living in delusion. 0.80

00:42:00.900 You can only have hope when it's coupled to reality, a sober view. 0.86

00:42:07.160 So to have hope, it assumes that you are realistically admitting despair.

00:42:13.960 That's what hope is.

00:42:15.120 True hope is not just seeing something when it's already come to fruition and acknowledging a hopeful reality that's already in place.

00:42:25.320 No, hope is I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death, and I'm hoping that there will—I acknowledge and admit how bad things really are, and I'm hoping for change.

00:42:36.020 I'm hoping for improvement.

00:42:38.140 The plan trusters are not hopeful.

00:42:40.580 The plan trusters, MAGA, is deceptive.

00:42:43.760 I'm going to say that again.

00:42:44.620 I know that sounds harsh, but that is in the true, objective, definitive, and technical sense of the biblical definition of these words.

00:42:53.380 That is what it is.

00:42:54.740 They are not hopeful.

00:42:56.280 MAGA and plan trusters are not hopeful.

00:42:59.500 They are deceptive.

00:43:01.300 Because if the purpose of a system is what it does, all of the guys within the orbit of the plan trusters who are following their social media accounts, getting their cues from these usual suspects, MAGA plan trusters, they are not coming away saying, you know what, we've got some good irons in the fire.

00:43:21.860 You know what, Trump is making some good attempts.

00:43:23.960 You know what, the administration has a good start.

00:43:28.060 Right?

00:43:28.300 We actually are saying that.

00:43:29.580 We're being honest.

00:43:30.200 Wes used that verbiage multiple times, and I appreciate it.

00:43:33.020 He said, you know what?

00:43:33.780 We acknowledge this is a good start.

00:43:35.860 And we acknowledge the monumental Herculean task set before the Trump administration.

00:43:41.140 Antonio said that because of 60 years of legal precedence and this immigration globalist machine that we're up against.

00:43:49.020 So it is actually really, really hard.

00:43:52.060 So we're sympathetic.

00:43:53.100 It's not easy.

00:43:53.960 It's not just like, oh, Trump's doing nothing.

00:43:55.820 No, Trump's doing something.

00:43:57.820 He's trying, but he's up against David, against Goliath.

00:44:01.720 And so far, what Trump has done is he's down by the riverbed.

00:44:06.420 He's not actually even slung a single stone.

00:44:09.360 He's picking out stones to put in his pocket to go and meet Goliath.

00:44:13.460 But we haven't actually slung a stone yet, guys.

00:44:16.220 We haven't.

00:44:16.960 The wall, right?

00:44:18.420 Well, he did that.

00:44:19.300 That was a stone.

00:44:20.680 No, the wall is, it wasn't done the first term.

00:44:23.860 It hasn't been done the second.

00:44:25.120 We have a third of the wall done.

00:44:27.180 All of these things, we're talking about executive orders.

00:44:29.960 They're not signed into law.

00:44:31.480 They will all be undone in slightly over two years.

00:44:37.140 Guys, let's just be honest.

00:44:38.480 So again, acknowledge that it really is David versus Goliath,

00:44:41.980 because you can't have hope without reality.

00:44:45.200 True hope admits reality, the despairing reality,

00:44:49.080 and yet against despair chooses to hope.

00:44:52.700 Okay, that's what hope is.

00:44:53.760 plan trusters and MAGA are not hopeful they're lying they're lying the purpose of the system

00:45:00.480 is what it does even if they don't say it verbatim they say things intentionally in such a way that

00:45:06.260 it gives off the implication to all their listeners that represent thousands if not even

00:45:12.560 millions of conservative GOP voting Americans that actually the effect of it is it placates

00:45:18.740 them to where they think that the things that we need to be pushing Trump to get done that these

00:45:23.560 are already done and therefore we don't actually need to be chimping and pushing trump that is

00:45:28.700 actually a problem so let's just let's just be fair equal weights and measures on both sides of

00:45:33.140 the aisle the plan trusters and maga their critique of us america first they would say you guys um are

00:45:39.240 our panicans you're too negative and what it's going to do is it's going to cause uh gop voters

00:45:46.320 to lose momentum lose incentive to turn out and vote and it's going to get democrats elected

00:45:51.380 I would have some pushback, but there is some truth to that. But on the flip side, what they're doing is deceiving their base that attempts are actually accomplishments. And what it does is, yes, it gets the GOP base to be excited and to turn out.

00:46:14.500 but it gets them to turn out and elect people who are not being pushed by the GOP base upon being

00:46:21.960 elected to actually get anything done. That is a problem. We're being honest. I wish they would

00:46:29.780 be honest. Yeah, that's a great point. It's funny too because I'm like, I thought this is what we

00:46:34.260 wanted from the independent media. Wasn't that everything wrong with traditional media? Wasn't

00:46:38.380 it just political sycophants sitting in front of a camera and saying exactly what you would expect

00:46:43.120 them to say right yeah that's such a good point the independent media and all these social media

00:46:47.620 accounts and all these podcasts and all these you know x accounts and you know cultural commentary

00:46:52.100 political pundancy all these things the whole point was uh that fox news is milquetoast and

00:46:59.820 corrupt and dishonest but i'm i'm watching these maggot accounts and i'm watching fox news yeah

00:47:07.780 They are. It's Animal Farm. They're the pigs that are now walking on hind legs in the farmhouse exactly like the humans. They are Fox News. 0.96

00:47:18.020 And ask yourself if this change in rhetoric. I mean, there was a point in I believe it was in March that the admin was directing House Republicans to stop messaging on mass deportations.

00:47:28.120 They also, Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, instructed members to focus only on deportations of violent criminals.

00:47:35.100 Senior Republican aides said messaging would be about deporting violent criminals and not mass deportations.

00:47:40.620 Earlier this year, that was the rhetoric coming out.

00:47:43.660 And in the couple months that followed, not just us, people chimped out.

00:47:48.000 Influencers chimped out.

00:47:49.360 So now, with 46,000 arrests here in July, again, arrests, not deportations, would you get that?

00:47:54.960 if someone was not pushing if people were not publicly loudly sounding the alarm and saying

00:48:00.420 we were promised x you're backtracking you're breaking your promise we're not going to have it

00:48:05.160 my argument would be there is very much the reality where that doesn't happen so we have an

00:48:10.180 essential role to keep pushing and then there's of course got to be guys the administration

00:48:14.980 that say yes sir when trump says to do something and they do their best from inside the system

00:48:20.440 don't bemoan those playing their part outside of the system independent media being critical while

00:48:26.040 also being objective and also we recognize i said it earlier there are good guys in the administration

00:48:31.720 who think like us and they are doing their absolute best to make a difference and it's a hard thing to

00:48:36.520 do you need both push from inside the overton window and then outside of it ideally six foot

00:48:42.320 not 60 feet away six foot outside the overton window pulling it both of them have an essential

00:48:47.520 role and failure, you fail at this point. You fail at this juncture. The greatest nation,

00:48:53.600 the greatest country that the world has ever seen, the shining star of Christendom. America was 97,

00:49:01.000 95% Christian in 1900s, a shining beacon of advances in medicine, advances in technology,

00:49:08.540 improvements in quality of life, academic research in defense of Christianity. America falls. 250 0.99

00:49:14.900 and 50 years from now, we don't exist. If you lose this fight, if the third world comes to your 0.96

00:49:20.760 shores, hollow it out, your streets are violent. The stakes are high. Stop bemoaning the people 0.97

00:49:25.920 that want more. Yeah. And the last thing I'll say on the plan trusters is I get that politics is

00:49:32.260 friend enemy. I get politics as team. And so I get the, the input, the, the, the sense in which

00:49:37.460 you would say, Hey, you're supposed to be on my team and you're saying things that aren't helping.

00:49:41.420 right but here's the thing winning can't be divorced from principle and so if i'm on a team

00:49:46.680 let's assume i'm on this team right and i'd like to think that i am there i'm going to call two

00:49:51.420 things out one when i don't think we're going to win i'm going to call that out if you're doing

00:49:55.940 something strategically or otherwise that i actually don't think will result in the win

00:50:00.920 it's my obligation to tell my team that's not going to win the other thing we can't accept

00:50:06.520 is shifting the goalposts.

00:50:08.460 So imagine one of your teammates is like,

00:50:10.860 hey, actually, I think it's a win

00:50:12.480 if we lose only by 20 points.

00:50:15.120 It's like, wait, what?

00:50:15.600 We didn't get blown out.

00:50:16.700 Yeah, so you can't shift the goalpost

00:50:18.320 and then expect me not to complain

00:50:19.800 when your definition of winning

00:50:21.580 is now different than my definition.

00:50:23.380 So those two things.

00:50:24.280 So as the independent media,

00:50:25.980 as people who do want to win,

00:50:27.500 we urgently want to win.

00:50:29.680 Everything, we want to have a country.

00:50:31.400 We want to have a country.

00:50:32.640 We have to be able to say,

00:50:33.880 one what you're doing is not going to win or two you've changed the definition of winning and we're

00:50:40.460 gonna we're gonna always do that yep well said uh any final things from the notes west you did

00:50:45.300 some great prep for this episode any other facts specific statements you want to share before we

00:50:49.820 end uh final rule uh word would be for one get a man for the job march 31st christy gnome was out

00:50:55.340 and mark wayne mullen came into office he's done a great job department of homeland security and

00:51:00.060 specifically focused on under the under coverage uh under the camera not flashy deportations so

00:51:07.320 it's amazing what happens when you take a woman christy gnome who cheated on her husband who's

00:51:11.620 all about show and replace her with a man and also a war i mean the war it's not over but it's

00:51:17.900 largely we have no active strikes going on so you're not distracted by a war you put a man in

00:51:21.980 the job well what do you know we're actually on a much better track so get a man for the job stop

00:51:26.180 being distracted by a war i kind of wish we didn't have had didn't have a war the last six

00:51:31.400 months to distract us from what we could have been doing which in some ways proves our point 0.53

00:51:35.180 all along this war was a dumb and a bad idea yeah and and just quickly it's like well you guys 0.67

00:51:39.680 complaining about trump and you're you're panicking and you're going to be the reason we 0.90

00:51:42.960 lose the midterms is it that or is it the war that has caused exorbitant gas bill that's four 1.00

00:51:49.440 dollars a gallon is it is it the economy stupid isn't that the truism it's the economy stupid 1.00

00:51:53.820 And that's what wins and loses elections. 1.00

00:51:55.240 But no, no, no, no.

00:51:56.600 It's us complaining about Trump's immigration policy.

00:51:59.080 That's why we're going to lose.

00:51:59.960 Oh, it's the podcasters that lost it for us.

00:52:01.280 Got it.

00:52:01.600 Got it.
