00:01:51.360You only need to read these crucial chapters. And, you know, they just all of the Republican Party was, we love immigrants. And let me tell you about my immigrant grandparents. I always love that part of the debate. Let me tell you about my colonial ancestors who came here in 1840. You interloper recent immigrants.
00:02:14.240Anyway, Trump asked me for a copy of the book after my very first interview, which was like a day before the book came out.1.00
00:02:22.260And then he gave that speech, which is the famous escalator speech, which is a somewhat more aggressive version of my book.1.00
00:02:31.900I mean, one of the things I talked about in Adios America, I couldn't cover all of the massive crimes being committed by recent immigrants.1.00
00:02:40.600And so I concentrated on the ones I mean, one of the things I guess you guys are finding out is that different cultures specialize in different kinds of crimes.1.00
00:02:50.300And this great advantage America used to have. I think you guys had it, too, is that our criminals were dumb, so it was easy to catch them.0.98
00:02:59.400Oh, no, not not anymore. Now we're getting we're getting these, you know, high IQ Romanian and Indian fraudsters and credit card schemes.1.00
00:03:08.900And in any event, the real problem for the U.S. are the Latin American countries to our south, and one of their specialties is child rape. So there's a lot about that in Adios America. And coincidentally, that was the spiciest part of his opening speech.0.99
00:06:10.480It's very hard to create a network.1.00
00:06:15.360I mean, the mob was our first, the Italian immigrants brought us organized crime for the first time. And now, man, you see it, you see it throughout all of these ethnic groups. But that isn't the natural. I mean, famously, I mentioned this in Adios America, the Rosenbergs who were spying on the U.S. and giving the secrets for the nukes to to the Soviet Union.1.00
00:06:37.040um the Rosenbergs were turned in by Ethel Rosenberg's brother Stephen I think it was
00:06:43.340Stephen Greenglass makes it a lot easier to bust up you know criminal networks when it's not all
00:06:51.520oh no he's my brother-in-law yes yes um why is it do you think that people who come in like like
00:07:00.920Trump with this sort of insurgent energy so often end up getting captured by the system itself
00:07:06.040it's very sad you're yeah you're boris johnson and yes and trump had a lot in common in that way
00:07:13.420both such utter utter disappointments um and i know i'm not supposed to say that about trump
00:07:20.580because i i mean i understand that the deep state is so vicious to him people you want to defend
00:07:26.280someone who's being unfairly attacked and of course he has been since since he came down the
00:07:32.220escalator but um he he started off a little bit better second term um first term look it's over
00:07:40.180now water under the bridge he just totally blew off immigration uh steve fired steve bannon very
00:07:46.460quickly our big accomplishments i distinctly remember watching this i hope this american
00:07:51.300politics isn't so boring for your audience but our first midterm elections i'm watching the
00:07:56.180conservative news networks trying to figure out what are you guys bragging about you had two years
00:08:02.280with a republican house a republican senate a republican president who came in on massively
00:08:08.420changing immigration and the fact that no other republican running for president agreed with him
00:08:13.120on that um i wrote about it in trump we trust i read through all of their debates and it was just
00:08:18.120enraging the way republicans used to talk about immigration george bush the previous president
00:08:22.820was the worst um the fact that he won when the polls were saying 90 new york times poll the day
00:08:30.660of the election was 89 hillary was likely to win um by the way i did a lot of british media that
00:08:36.660night because after brexit you guys kind of had an inkling that there might be an upset so after
00:08:41.700that you would think the republican party you know it's got to be pedal to the metal we got to fund
00:08:46.020that wall let's start the deportations oh no no we have to have tax cuts again tax cuts half the0.98
00:08:52.340the same agenda taxes um it was utterly moronic and so what were they bragging about before the0.87
00:08:58.260midterm elections two years in we moved the embassy it's all about israel yes i mean i
00:09:07.620suppose that came back with the vengeance in the in the second term but i mean in the first time
00:09:11.880there were things to like for example no new wars i quite like that aspect of it no new what
00:09:46.360And it's really depressing. It's really awful. It's going to destroy the Trump presidency and possibly the country because it's going to be a wipeout in the midterm elections. It's an absolute disaster.
00:09:58.580um trump listens to netanyahu miriam adelson and rupert murdoch and they wanted war uh apparently
00:10:12.220although i think a little of this is oh my gosh this war is a disaster let's let's call up the
00:10:16.960new york times and say we were against it i think the only member of the administration who was
00:10:21.260really against it was jd vance that certainly seems to be i mean he was a genuine anti-war
00:10:28.000um person and and and and on secretly recorded conversations after the first bombing of iran
00:10:34.220um there was i think the defense secretary um a few other underlings on foreign policy
00:10:40.880rubio and vance were on a phone call and the whole whole phone call leaks because a journalist
00:10:46.000was on the phone call um and taped the whole thing and the only one saying um doesn't this
00:10:52.660go against the no more no new wars we're not going to meddle it up shouldn't we get back to
00:10:57.480the only one was jd vance so now people like rubio our defense secretary are calling into
00:11:03.500the new york times saying oh i advised against it well maybe but usually potential advance
00:11:08.160yes i mean we'll see what happens but it's it's a binary choice so so my i mean who's who's better
00:11:18.220I think his heart is MAGA. I think he's a little bit too socialist on some stuff. A lot of the newfound populists confuse populism with socialism. But other than that, I think he's absolutely MAGA, make America great again.
00:11:36.660And I think he's absolutely concentrating on the left behind Americans, as we call them, because he comes from the left behind Americans.
00:11:44.300He knows how they've been ignored and stepped on.
00:11:46.920So I think his heart is absolutely there.
00:11:48.720He has a very high IQ, which, by the way, is such an exciting surprise if you're a Republican.
00:11:55.200Well, Republicans in general or Republican politicians?
00:15:49.080You can just say, pay me millions of dollars or all of Africa is going to be here overnight.0.79
00:15:52.340Well, speaking of dollars, he did also flirt with moving away from the dollar.
00:15:55.920And I've always wondered if that was the key element, because obviously America is still a very powerful country, no matter what the rise of China may indicate for the future.
00:16:05.820But it's not really your aircraft carriers that give you the strength.
00:16:11.880I guess, again, I'd say, well, maybe not binary, but who else?
00:16:17.500I hope, I mean, I guess I hope that remains the same. But I mean, I think the Iran war has really hurt our standing. I mean, the Chinese premier taunted Trump with this when Trump visited, I don't know, four or five months ago, saying it was a Suez moment.0.98
