On today's show, we discuss the latest in anti-police violence in the streets of New York City, the removal of Sen. Alex Padilla from a DHS news conference, and more. We also hear from Candace Morgan, who is running to become Texas AG Ken Paxton s running mate, and we have a special guest, Charlie LaDuff.
00:02:29.000Today, Senator Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Chrissy Noem's news conference in Los Angeles.
00:02:35.000Apparently, he kind of rushed the news conference, and I'm not sure if it was Secret Service or DHS agents that stepped in, but he was actually taken out of the room, and they locked him up a little bit.
00:02:48.000I think he was in handcuffs for a little bit, so we'll talk about that.
00:02:51.000We're going to talk about some of these other...
00:03:00.000But there are multiple groups that are sending money, sending supplies.
00:06:24.000Yeah, so this morning I announced that I am running for Texas Attorney General to succeed the great Ken Paxton.
00:06:33.000But before then I was a presidentially appointed official at the Justice Department.
00:06:39.000Ted Cruz's chief of staff for a couple years, Paxton's deputy for a couple years, was a Marine officer, went to Afghanistan once before law school, married, four kids, happy to be here.
00:07:28.000Anyways, NBC News reports, Senator Alex Padilla, Democrat from California, was forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday after he tried to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a news conference related to immigration.
00:07:44.000I have questions for the secretary, Padilla said to Noam, which prompted several men dressed in plain clothes to physically push him out of the room.
00:07:50.000A top FBI official later said Bureau personnel and Secret Service agents were involved in the senator's removal.
00:07:57.000Padilla's office shared a video of the incident with NBC News.
00:08:01.000The video shows Padilla being taken into a hallway outside and pushed face forward to the ground as officers with FBI identifying vests told the senator to put his hands behind his back.
00:09:59.000Yeah, I mean, he's a big guy, and you could see him as the, I don't know if it was Secret Service or whatever her personal security detail was.
00:10:05.000They were trying to gesture, hey, you can't just, you gotta come back, and you saw him push his chest up against them.
00:10:10.000So, look, here's a grandstanding liberal Democratic senator trying to go viral who is bursting into a press conference and getting the result that anybody in his situation, whether he was Senator Padilla or just Alex, anybody doing some antics like that would have gotten that result.
00:10:30.000You'd expect antics like that from Congress.
00:11:32.000Look, I don't give Senator Padilla any credit here.
00:11:36.000I mean, even if he were wearing his Senate pin and announced himself as, "Hi, I'm Senator Alex Padilla," it doesn't entitle you to burst into a cabinet secretary's press conference.
00:11:49.000And by the way, when he went out into the hallway, he knew exactly what he was doing.
00:11:53.000You could see it if you replay the You could see him in the video doing it.
00:12:07.000And you can see the picture on the left there, like, they're trying to get his arms behind his back.
00:12:12.000He's actually resisting that, and so the only way that you can get his arms behind his back is you've got to bring him to the floor.
00:12:16.000Oh, by the way, so the Homeland Security director is in L.A. when they're expecting it's been a wild week and it's going to be a wild weekend, and a guy comes up like that.
00:12:26.000Well, what do you think is going to happen?
00:13:11.000Yeah, it's completely reasonable to say, okay, we're not going to let you approach the elected officials who happen to share the same political ideology or political party of the people that have been attacked historically for the past year, pretty old.
00:13:24.000If I might, afterwards, he gives a little press conference.
00:14:12.000It is not safe to assume that conservatives are necessarily going to do that, but today's left, BLM, the sort of riot, the anti-ice riots now, the threats against the president, the constant threats online against people in this administration.
00:14:26.000It is not unreasonable to assume that somebody busting in to take out the Secretary of Homeland Security is going to try to propagate violence.
00:14:35.000So NBC News went on to say President Donald Trump's immigration policies and the administration's handling of demonstrations against those policies have sparked an outcry in recent days.
00:14:44.000After protesters clashed with officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles on Friday, the president deployed a number of deployed members of the National Guard and later Marines to assist local law enforcement.
00:14:56.000Dozens of demonstrations have taken place across the country in the days that followed.
00:15:00.000Speaking to reporters later Thursday, Padilla said that he was receiving a briefing from military officials when he learned Noam was in the same building and decided to join.
00:15:11.000So this is, again, a grandstanding Democratic senator who's like, wait a second.
00:16:33.000Yeah, I mean, and it does show that the reaction by Speaker Johnson to not actually do anything was definitely, you know, kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.
00:21:42.000It was all about the nuclear threat that Saddam Hussein would pose to the United States and the possibility of not just a dirty bomb but an actual functioning nuclear weapon in a port city here in the U.S. That was the argument that was made that I heard most frequently.
00:22:34.000Well, I guess the moral thing to do is to sort of, we're going to blow you up and then we're going to rebuild you.
00:22:40.000And then Iraq creeped in because people had been salivating over toppling the Saddam Hussein regime for decades.
00:22:47.000Now you had the pretext where Americans' eyes are now oriented toward the Middle East.
00:22:53.000Now's the time for Saddam Hussein to go down.
00:22:56.000So why don't we start a second war in Iraq?
00:22:59.000And then it just spiraled, spiraled, spiraled.
00:23:00.000And what kept it going for that whole time was a philosophy of regime change, which we've sort of already articulated, which is that these people want freedom.
00:24:11.000So part of why I hate to see this is not only because I just – war is like not the best thing.
00:24:18.000It's necessary sometimes, but it's not the best.
00:24:23.000I don't want to see Americans forget the lessons that we've learned in Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:24:27.000I am surprised, and admittedly, I don't follow geopolitics at all, but the last I heard, and tell me if I'm wrong, the U.S. had a proposal, a sort of compromise, that they would take their uranium enrichment off of their own land.
00:24:46.000As far as I had last checked into it, they had not even replied to that proposal yet.
00:25:42.000Breaking Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, declares a special state of emergency in the home front throughout the entire state of Israel.
00:25:50.000Following the state of Israel's preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the state of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future, Katz said.
00:25:59.000I think that kind of goes without saying.
00:26:06.000The opinion is that the response from Iran is not going to be small.
00:26:12.000You're going to probably see hundreds of missiles shot at Israel.
00:26:16.000And I think that Israel does not expect the Iron Dome to be able to handle the volume.
00:26:22.000And what we see, again, assuming this is true— Yeah, and that's like what they've been doing for a long time.
00:26:36.000Like the six-day war, they're kind of like the, let's say, the leading experts on these preemptive strikes and like taking care of something before it even is a problem for you.
00:26:45.000So it's interesting to see what's going to happen with all this.
00:27:18.000Because, I was going to ask a question.
00:27:23.000I don't see how the US has to get drawn into this.
00:27:29.000I do think that Israel could have waited, but I still don't see how the US has to be involved.
00:27:35.000Well, those are two different questions.
00:27:38.000Your second question, I think, is an interesting one, which is, I don't see why the US should get involved.
00:27:47.000But your first question was, I don't see how it could get involved.
00:27:53.000And those are slightly different because what's still happening to this day in 2025 is you've got, even on the right, you have a huge philosophical difference on an approach to geopolitics.
00:28:05.000I mean, there's this sort of neocon view, and then there's the more realist or isolate, people call it isolationist view.
00:28:11.000And it's not particularly clear who...
00:28:21.000And I think ultimately the president as a commander-in-chief has got to make the decision.
00:28:26.000My sense is that President Trump's inclination is to let the situation develop before he commits any troops.
00:28:33.000I think President Trump has consistently run on foreign policy prudence, foreign policy restraint and realism.
00:28:40.000And I think his first instinct is your instinct, which is like – Troops is a big leap.
00:29:48.000I can't wait to see me this with the home front command.
00:29:59.000And then we also have these commercial flights from OSINT Defender here showing how the commercial flights have been rerouted around Tel Aviv and then also around Tehran.
00:30:06.000So we don't really know necessarily where everything's being struck, but judging by these two, I guess, pieces of information, you know.
00:31:32.000That evolution from AGs kind of being like a B-team state office holders, guys who want to be the next governor.
00:31:39.000That's why they call AG like aspiring governor because they're just sitting there and waiting to go be the next one.
00:31:45.000But it was guys like Paxton and very few others who sort of wielded their constitutional powers to make a state AG something that's really a national force.
00:31:57.000And so, yeah, I'm running for Texas AG.
00:32:00.000Folks need to understand, and your national audience needs to understand, that if you don't get a good state AG in Texas who presides over the largest Republican law firm in the country by orders of magnitude, you're missing out on an opportunity to really advance the ball for law and order, for justice, for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
00:32:20.000So Paxton is the one that turned it up a notch.
00:32:24.000He turned it up to 11 and is now running for the Senate.
00:32:27.000So now the seat's open and I've jumped in.
00:33:23.000Yeah, I mean, like I said, I still can't imagine how the United States benefits from being involved in this.
00:33:33.000I know that the argument that people say is, like, Israel's our greatest ally or whatever.
00:33:39.000We need to support Israel because they're surrounded by enemies and they're a democracy in the Middle East and yada, yada, yada.
00:33:44.000But I still don't see why the United States needs to be involved when, honestly, it's my opinion that Israel has more than enough technological capability to...
00:34:02.000I think we just need to let the situation develop a little bit.
00:34:05.000If the president determines that critical American national interests are at risk of non-intervention, then maybe intervention is the way to go.
00:34:28.000But President Trump, I think – I anticipate that he would, if we do get more involved, be able to articulate a vital national security interest that is more concrete than the basis for the wars that we went to over the past 20 years.
00:36:38.000So I assume there is with the Insurrection Act.
00:36:41.000The Insurrection Act would have to be invoked for them to do that kind of stuff.
00:36:44.000And as of right now, to be honest with you, Donald Trump is – he's acting assertively without – honestly, without acting aggressively.
00:36:52.000As much as there are people that are going to swear up and down that he's being aggressive, the fact – just the federal agents carrying out their job is not aggressive.
00:37:01.000The hysterics from the left over the very disciplined approach that the president has taken is just totally disproportionate and weird, frankly.
00:37:13.000Well, I mean – It's a tactic with a goal.
00:37:48.000I mean, and that's something that I think that the majority of...
00:37:57.000They're like, wait a minute, we're not supposed to be happy that there are people waving foreign flags.
00:38:03.000We're not supposed to be happy that there are people that are actually fighting with the police.
00:38:07.000We're not supposed to be happy that there are cars burning, even if it is only a few blocks where this is happening, which is something I hear the Democrats point out.
00:39:54.000I don't see Iran taking it pretty well when they were personally targeted.
00:40:01.000But they neutered Hezbollah, so maybe this is the pager part two, but it's coming from the sky instead of in your pocket.
00:40:12.000So we're going to jump to, we were talking about the people going crazy in LA.
00:40:18.000We're going to jump to this post-millennial story.
00:40:22.000Antifa anarchist blog post claim of responsibility for torching NYPD vehicles in Brooklyn.
00:40:28.000The cars were just waiting there, practically begging for a new makeover, the post from Antifa-affiliated blog reads.
00:40:35.000From Katie Daviscourt, an Antifa-affiliated blog post a claim of responsibility for an arson attack targeting eight New York Police Department vehicles parked near the 83rd Precinct in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
00:40:48.000The incident occurred around 1.30 a.m., and the anarchists called for additional attacks against the police and government in solidarity with the anti-ICE riot So, Antifa's attacking not just ICE.
00:41:03.000This brings to mind all of the ACAB sentiment that you heard so much in 2020, how all cops are guilty of being oppressors and they need to get rid of ICE entirely.
00:41:20.000There's probably going to be more calls to abolish the police, even though the results of the calls to abolish the police were more crime in the most.
00:41:30.000Crime-ridden areas, and it wasn't any kind of positive result for the people of those areas.
00:41:36.000So these activists that are making these demands or making these calls, they're actually harming the people they swear up and down they're trying to help.
00:41:45.000Yeah, you give them too much credit by just merely calling them activists.
00:41:49.000I mean, these people are seditionists, they are insurrectionists, and they are in our midst.
00:41:57.000They are trained under a sort of cultural Marxism that justifies violence.
00:42:05.000That's why we see an increasing wave over the past decade of left-wing violence.
00:42:12.000And you have blue state governors, blue state AGs, Soros-funded DAs, Soros-funded police chiefs who have given safe harbor to the seditionists and the insurrectionists.
00:42:24.000And so it becomes very difficult to do what's necessary to keep our American cities safe.
00:42:47.000Yeah, look, these are actual domestic terror organizations, actually.
00:42:51.000And I think that if you read, you just have to open up like their own like user manuals and they are domestic terrorists and they should be treated like domestic terrorists.
00:43:03.000Now, what the left wants to do and what they particularly did during the Biden administration is they protested.
00:43:19.000Oh, they're the seditionists and the insurrectionists and the extremists and the domestic terrorists.
00:43:26.000But man, we need a national mobilization of law enforcement to root these guys out.
00:43:32.000I know that as the next Attorney General of Texas, and to learn more you should go to AaronWrites.com, that the Attorney General of Texas has tremendous power to sort of investigate the flow of where all this money and the funding is going to expose and then work with local law enforcement to go arrest and then try these criminals.
00:43:53.000So what do you think the chances of a legitimate like Rico case being put together surrounding these?
00:44:09.000I mean, it's just always, I mean, it's, this is why you get them on tax fraud, right?
00:44:13.000Like, it's, even in instances where you just have sort of totally flagrant, you know, mafiosa style.
00:44:21.000It's like, oh, the RICO case doesn't stick and so got you on the tax fraud.
00:44:27.000So look, I think that it – there are civil and criminal theories of RICO.
00:44:35.000And that it takes enterprising attorneys general who understand the nature of the threat and who want to pursue charges in creative but lawful ways to bring justice.
00:44:47.000And so anyway, just to circle back on my first answer to you, I think there's a there there.
00:44:51.000I think that an investigation may give rise to either civil or criminal RICO charges against these sorts of networks.
00:44:59.000But they're always difficult to stick.
00:45:03.000that you bring them in, you're either going to get, you know, a democratically appointed or in some jurisdictions a democratically elected judge.
00:45:12.000So a Democrat judge with a Democrat jury and a Democrat, you know, criminal defense attorney and a sympathetic Democrat media that will cover the cases.
00:45:24.000It, you know, the cases are stacked against law and order.
00:45:36.000During Trump's first administration, I'm still puzzled as to why he didn't do that and hasn't done it yet still.
00:45:43.000And I'm looking at this that they arrested three members of Antifa in Portland so far for stacking flammable debris on the local ice building and trying to set it on fire.
00:45:57.000And you look at the pictures of these people, they just look pathetic.
00:46:14.000Where they're like, they get into the boxing ring and they're just like, they're completely unathletic schlubs, like trying to be fearsome because we're going to fight the fascists or whatever.
00:46:59.000And in LA, they should just be coming in there with unmarked vans and rounding these people up, literally, and possibly just throwing them out over the Mexican border.
00:47:15.000In fact, when I resigned from the Justice Department on, I guess it was last night, All of my Marine friends were like, you know, dude, are you getting mobilized to go to L.A.?
00:47:26.000And I was like, don't tempt me with a good time because that would have been fine.
00:50:15.000I will say, to President Trump's credit, I think the BLM terror uprisings in 2020 was – I don't know that I would pin the –
00:50:41.000I think that this was the first real mass national militant ideologically leftist anti-American like insurrection in a long time and that.
00:50:53.000The administration and law enforcement are like trying to figure out how do we do this?
00:50:57.000Like is this going to go away in a week?
00:50:58.000Are they just letting off some steam for a week?
00:51:00.000And then it turns out it went on for months and then it's like, okay, now what do we do?
00:51:04.000Now we have blue mayors, blue police departments, blue governors like taking the knee and putting their BLM fist in the air.
00:51:13.000And navigating that is actually really tricky.
00:51:15.000I will say, though, to President Trump's—now, again, Mary, though, to your point, like, I know what I—I think I know what I would have done back then, and I would have put riot gear on everybody and gone online from one, you know, the east of the urban area to the west— Literally just combed the cities.
00:51:32.000By the way, though, man, I mean, when the president mobilizes the National Guard over and above The governor.
00:53:30.000And then send me money to fix it because...
00:53:32.000Well, I mean, speaking of money, there's something that I wanted to bring up.
00:53:36.000The Post Millennial was reporting, these are the groups suspected of funding radical LA anti-ice protests.
00:53:44.000Some left-wing activist groups are suspected of funding the anti-ice protests turned riots over the weekend.
00:53:50.000FBI Director Cash Patel has said that the law enforcement agency will be investigating all the funding as well as the groups that supported and organized the efforts.
00:53:59.000The FBI is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots, Patel told Just the News earlier this week.
00:54:06.000Over the weekend, after some initial peaceful anti-ice protests, violence and riots erupted in downtown L.A. with Waymark cars being burned, looted, violence targeted at police and other criminality.
00:54:16.000According to the outlet, one of the groups linked to the protests that occurred leading up to the violent riots is the Party for Socialism and Liberation, PSL.
00:54:56.000That's why they tie Gaza in with illegal immigration to the U.S. You mean these aren't guys who got upset one day in Compton and decided to put down a video game in the blunt and just go out there?
00:55:07.000You're telling me this is coordinated?
00:56:02.000And they go to the Coalition for the Humane Immigration Rights in LA, CHURLA, which is also being funded by the SIEU union going to CHURLA.
00:56:31.000These are, to both y'all's points, it's worth emphasizing, these are highly coordinated, highly sophisticated money laundering schemes where you have- That's what I'm saying.
00:56:46.000No, I mean, and you're on to something, right?
00:56:49.000My only point was maybe more of just like a legal nerd point, which is just like it's difficult to get those cards to stick, right?
00:56:55.000But it's – Like, of course there are dark money groups and Soros-affiliated groups, and there's 15 of them with 10 different names.
00:57:07.000Some of them have, like, you know, they wear their ideology in their name.
00:57:12.000Other organizations are more innocuously named, so you wouldn't expect that, you know, the Foundation for a Just America—I'm making that up.
00:57:21.000But a Foundation for Justice is actually a front group for, like, militant— And then our eyes get wide open when you're finding like there's a trail to USAID and like you're funding it.
00:57:34.000And by the way, it's been going on for decades and conservatives have sort of just contented themselves to Mary's point to just like arrest three criminals.
00:58:20.000If I could get in there, Enjoyer.com or NoBSNewsHour.com.
00:58:24.000Those are great – yes, those are great.coms as well.
00:58:26.000And so – You've got to have an AG in Texas presiding over the largest Republican law firm in the country who understands the nature of the threat, who reads headlines like what we've looked at and is unsurprised by it.
00:58:39.000Let me throw this in while you're doing it because, you know, watch out Texas because California is moving there, right?
01:01:22.000This is from the Secretary of State for immediate release.
01:01:25.000Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran.
01:01:29.000We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.
01:01:34.000Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense.
01:01:39.000President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners.
01:01:53.000Well, I mean, honestly, if they kill Americans, then Americans generally change their opinion about whether Americans should be involved in something, because whether or not the United States is actually launching any kind of attacks on Iran, if Iran attacks the U.S. We already moved our people.
01:02:14.000We did kind of probably know a little something.
01:02:21.000It was something along the lines of, well, you know, I'm not supposed to know and I'm not supposed to say, but yeah, you know, it's going to happen.
01:02:30.000Got him out of Erbil, got him out of Baghdad.
01:02:33.000Especially by the whole, like, all the pizza.
01:02:35.000The pizza orders at the Pentagon yesterday, too.
01:02:37.000We were tracking that on the show, and we weren't sure if it was going to happen.
01:03:34.000I think the U.S. and Israel generally share information when it is beneficial to both of them.
01:03:44.000So I don't think that the U.S. and Israel share.
01:03:47.000But I think that if it's beneficial for the U.S. to know something, if it's beneficial to Israel for the U.S. to know something, then they're going to tell the U.S. And I think it's definitely beneficial for the United States to know that they were going to attack, considering we were talking about talking with Iran on Sunday, I think it was.
01:04:10.000Is this in English or are we going to listen to?
01:04:23.000Over the past few months, intelligence has shown that Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon.
01:04:29.000This morning, the IDF began preemptive and precise strikes targeting the Iranian nuclear program in order to prevent the Iranian regime's ability.
01:07:36.000They're not citizens, but they've turned out to be, you know, great.
01:07:40.000And we're going to have to do something about that.
01:07:43.000We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have, maybe not.
01:07:50.000And you know what's going to happen and what is happening?
01:07:53.000They get rid of some of the people because, you know, you go into a farm and you look and people don't – they've been there for 20, 25 years and they've worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and everything else.
01:08:56.000So here's the actual tweet from Donald Trump, or the truth from Donald Trump, the follow-up to that statement at the press conference.
01:09:06.000The Biden administration and Governor Gavin Newsom flooded America with 21 million illegal aliens, destroying schools, hospitals, and communities, and consuming untold billions of dollars in free welfare.
01:09:18.000All of them have to go home, as do countless other illegals and criminals who will turn us into a bankrupt third world nation.
01:09:39.000So that seems to be walking back the idea of keeping the farm workers that his friends that own farms rely on.
01:09:51.000I think people are straining to see something that's not here.
01:09:56.000This articulation in this Truth Social post that we're reading right now is consistent with what President Trump has said from the very beginning and is consistent with the policies that he's enacted since he got sworn in.
01:10:10.000I think that what he was sort of riffing with, with the Fox News reporter, I don't view that in any way as like a firm articulation of a policy position.
01:10:21.000I don't view it as like we're staking out a new thing.
01:10:25.000I think that he is channeling what I imagine are some concerns that have been articulated to him.
01:10:32.000But I don't see this as a policy pronouncement in any way, shape or form.
01:10:36.000I think that the truth social post that came two and a half hours afterwards was not so much a walking back but just a rearticulation of what has – But the true social post was consistent with what he's been doing from the beginning.
01:13:09.000Illegal immigration on scale is what has caused these jobs that you would otherwise be able to live off of to now be like sub- Adjusted for inflation because we all now know what inflation is.
01:14:01.000Typically, I don't like to think that I'm naive, but I'm hearing the president riff casually with a reporter that he knows extremely well and is sort of just thinking out loud.
01:15:12.000Yeah, this is when the great Pat Buchanan was putting out great ads.
01:15:16.000And don't forget, dude, when NAFTA got signed, then WTO got signed, normalization of trade with China got signed, Detroit got crossed, our jobs went overseas, and what came in for the rest of the jobs?
01:17:09.000The Department of Homeland Security revoked work and resident permits for hundreds of thousands of migrants on Thursday, according to a CNN report.
01:17:18.000A notice sent by email to Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan nationals demands that migrants vacate the country immediately, stating that failure to do so may result in involuntary detention.
01:17:30.000This notice informs you that your parole is now terminated.
01:17:33.000A copy of the notice obtained by CNN reads, If you do not leave, you may be subject to enforcement actions, including but not limited to detention and removal, without an opportunity to make personal arrangements and return to your country in an orderly manner.
01:17:47.000The termination of the Biden era parole program that granted legal working status to an estimated 530,000 migrants from these four countries has long been a goal of the Trump administration.
01:17:58.000President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end the program on his first day in office, one of many steps taken to achieve the president's campaign promise of mass deportation.
01:18:06.000I mean, look, 500,000 is a nice start.
01:18:46.000Before this disaster, and we could kind of put up with it, and we were getting our shit together, and let's put up a wall and come in the right way, we still had David out there picking the grass.
01:19:07.000And keeping his word because he didn't say, man, if you work on a grape farm and you've been here since 1999, you're out!
01:19:15.000Yeah, look, I mean, to the extent, like, I don't think it's inconsistent to say that getting these 500,000 out is a top priority, whereas getting out, to use your phrase, like the grape pickers who moved to Central California in 98 is not.
01:19:35.000Now, it is my opinion that the grape picker who's still here breaking the law every single day should go, but we can have a prudential conversation.
01:19:42.000What's the number one priority right now?
01:19:51.000When I was a deputy at the Texas Attorney General's office several years ago, during the Biden era, actually, this decision by the Biden administration is something that myself and Attorney General Paxton sued on.
01:20:06.000And there was this whole theme of cases where the Biden administration would issue blanket what's called parole.
01:20:14.000So parole is a legal immigration concept that is supposed to be used on a case-by-case basis.
01:20:21.000So you've got immigration authorities who, in extraordinary circumstances, can issue sort of what's called parole.
01:20:28.000It's like, look, this is outside the norm, but there's exigent circumstances.
01:20:32.000Yes, you can come over here, but you need to stay in the cell.
01:20:35.000You're getting to connect yourself with family.
01:20:37.000And so parole, think of parole as something that has always historically been used as a What Biden then did is he just blanket paroled tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands all at once, which eviscerated the legal concept of parole.
01:20:56.000What it was was it just – it turned parole and amnesty, which are supposed to be very rare, one-to-one type things, into just amnesty, right?
01:23:01.000We see the leftist pro-illegal alien groups sort of weeping and gnashing their teeth over it.
01:23:07.000That's also sometimes an indication of whether something good is happening.
01:23:10.000But you look at the legal arguments that these groups made in court.
01:23:14.000And it again reveals the true nature of the liberal left and what they believe about this country, what they believe about the rule of law.
01:23:23.000And gosh, to see the left, the well-funded sort of legal nonprofit space work in coordination with democratically appointed judges in blue jurisdictions with blue juries and blue communities.
01:23:40.000The litigation that these blue states and pro-illegal alien groups waged against Trump for doing something manifestly within the discretion of the president of the United States is just yet another reflection of the left's willingness to throw all principle out So trust me as the – you're a conservative.
01:26:11.000That's not like a principled, like consistently enforceable standard.
01:26:15.000Like we've been here a long time, exception to deportation.
01:26:19.000I don't – I can understand where we would make certain prudential considerations based upon feasibility, logistics, unintended second and third order of effects.
01:26:31.000But these are like prudential considerations.
01:26:34.000But on the principle by which I distinguish prudence from principle, on the principle discussion, every single one of the 21 plus million people who are here illegally are in fact here illegally and are therefore under our duly enacted immigration laws subject to deportation.
01:26:58.000I think that your framing earlier was correct about like, well, you know, if we can't get all 21, let's just accept six.
01:27:05.000And yeah, six is better than zero, right?
01:27:08.000But I don't accept the premise that we should immediately begin from a position of negotiating against ourselves or like erecting a – and I'm not saying you're suggesting it, right?
01:27:18.000But I acknowledge that weaker conservatives, Republicans with less willpower, are willing to begin the public policy discussion by just conceding that, well, 21 million, we can't do that.
01:27:44.000So, therefore, we have to content ourselves with, like, a pittance.
01:28:40.000So we can talk like we can agree, but the issues that we're having right now or that we've been experiencing, No Americans wanted a total open border.
01:28:57.000No Americans wanted to ship in 20 million illegal immigrants, especially when the reason to ship them in was to bolster the numbers in places like California, where there have been a mass exodus of population.
01:29:11.000And they're looking to have these people in the census in 2030.
01:29:28.000So that's all dependent on the census.
01:29:30.000And this is a two-pronged attack on the existing Americans' voting power.
01:29:36.000You know, if you can dilute the American people's voting power by changing the makeup of states and getting more congressional seats, California has 55 or something like that, congressional seats, because there's 36 million people in California or something like that.
01:29:50.000And if they can get in an additional five or so million because of this, that could mean, you know, an additional two.
01:30:04.000This isn't a situation where it's through no fault of anyone at all.
01:30:08.000This is an active plan that the Democrats have been instituting between this particular issue and also things like the Refugee Resettlement Program and the NGOs that were financing people's trips.
01:30:45.000So we're mixing two separate conversations, and I think it's causing a lack of clarity.
01:30:53.000There is the practical conversation about what can or cannot be done.
01:31:00.000Then there is the sort of more principled or ideological conversation about the nature of illegal immigration and the degree to which you enforce borders and so on and so forth.
01:31:13.000And I'm trying to treat these things separately.
01:31:15.000On the one hand, I start from the principle that if 21 million aliens are here illegally, every single last one of them should be deported.
01:32:16.000And I was nominated to the Justice Department in part to work on a federal immigration law and have partnered with Tom Homan and Kash Patel and Attorney General Bondi on working all these things.
01:33:03.000Yeah, so I'll finish my point that I was making earlier, which was what we have seen since President Trump was inaugurated on January 20th was a concerted, national, extremely well-funded lawfare campaign to thwart.
01:33:25.000Even just the beginnings of deportation operations, right?
01:33:29.000Like, we've deported, I think at this rate, like 175,000 people.
01:33:34.000Maybe we're at 200 by now, somewhere in that zone, right?
01:33:37.000And we're just now getting started, and it has been a monumental task to even just begin scratching the surface.
01:33:46.000I'm arguing that 20-plus million illegal aliens ought to and do in fact under our United States laws deserve to be deported.
01:33:54.000But to a point that was made earlier, I think you made this point, which was like we can't even agree on the rules moving forward to deport them because look at how difficult it is just to get 0.01% of them out of here.
01:34:22.000All the theater of judge shopping and national injunctions, they were expecting it.
01:34:28.000As it was explained to me, here comes the rollout now.
01:34:31.000What you're seeing now is the rollout.
01:34:34.000All right, well, we're going to go ahead and jump to Super Chats.
01:34:38.000So smash the like button, share the show with your friends, with your family, with everyone you know.
01:34:43.000Head on over to TimCast.com to join our Discord, and head on over to Rumble.com, become a member, and you'll be allowed to watch the after-hours, uncensored portion of our show where we do the call-ins.
01:34:58.000You can call in and talk to our guests, talk to the panel.
01:35:01.000But we're going to start with Shane H. Wilder here says, With the last plane crash, it's Trump's fault.
01:35:13.000I did the research, and the month-to-month numbers from the FAA are lower than they were in the middle of COVID 2020, which is great, but I don't think...
01:35:38.000Weary Traveler says, I had a whole message prepared for Tim about giving him yet another Fell For It Again award, but that Shabos Goy is too embarrassed to show his face now that his fellow Shabos Goy backtracked on everything.
01:38:56.000Trucking Pat says, while we have an aspiring, we need a state to sue California for allowing illegals to count on the census and to vote in elections.
01:40:52.000We need more ICE agents, and I think the National Guard could be trained to help with that.
01:40:56.000Personally, I don't think it's a great idea.
01:40:58.000I think that the DHS and ICE actually do have sufficient bodies to wrap people up.
01:41:09.000And I don't think that the National Guard is actually well trained for that particular mission.
01:41:15.000I do think the National Guard, it's fine for the National Guard to be security for these guys that are doing the job.
01:41:21.000But the actual policing of civilian areas in the United States, that's got to be the actual policing.
01:41:29.000I have maybe a slightly different take on that.
01:41:32.000So one of the features of the big, beautiful bill that the president is trying to get through Congress is an injection of new and big funding for immigration enforcement, ICE, DHS and so forth because those entities have communicated to the Congress that they are not adequately staffed to take care of the mass deportation campaign that we need to express.
01:41:59.000And then the second thing is, I think you're right that the National Guard or sort of the DOD space more generally is not necessarily – That's not their purpose.
01:42:17.000However, as we've seen with the president's mobilization of the National Guard and then the activation of the Marines is that they can, in fact, provide very helpful sort of – the right word is maybe not gap-filling, but there are – Areas in the secondary level,
01:42:36.000whether it's logistics or support or area security or property protection, that the National Guard is really good at doing, which then frees ICE agents and other immigration enforcement officials to carry out their mission.
01:42:53.000And so just me personally, you know, there are nuances here on how you do something like that.
01:42:59.000But I would like to see what that particular poster suggested.
01:43:04.000This is what I hear, and this is again coming from the Bordazar, ICE, etc.
01:43:10.000The big, beautiful bill is going to have about $170 billion for immigration enforcement, which includes massive detainment facilities, probably in the Midwest, Kansas, something like that.
01:43:45.000Europa Chronicle says, Aaron, can you speak to Texas investigation into ActBlue's foreign money laundering into Democrat campaigns and NGOs?
01:43:55.000Yeah, I mean, look, ActBlue is absolutely something that has been hijacked by foreign money influences.
01:44:05.000And then ActBlue, for the listeners that don't know, is sort of the vehicle by which Democratic candidates receive money.
01:44:14.000And it is illegal in the United States for either foreign individuals or foreign entities to give money.
01:44:30.000But because ActBlue is so flush with...
01:44:45.000And so what you've seen now in light of that is during the Biden era, of course, the Biden Justice Department did nothing to put a stop to that.
01:44:53.000So it became incumbent upon red state AGs to open up investigations.
01:45:00.000They are revealing highly disturbing trends, which – and I don't know.
01:45:04.000if there's any active litigation yet, but you have to build the facts and build the case before you bring it.
01:45:09.000And now the state AGs have a partner in Trump's And so to this poster's question, I can tell you it's ongoing.
01:45:19.000I can tell you that it is a huge problem.
01:45:22.000I can tell you that it is the benefit of foreign money is something that goes almost uniformly, unilaterally to the Democratic Party and to the left.
01:45:32.000And what you need, especially in an AG's office like Texas, which is the largest Republican and conservative law firm in the country, is you need an AG who understands the nature of that.
01:45:43.000And that, again, is why I'm running for Texas Attorney General to succeed Ken Paxson to continue pressing in on that stuff.
01:45:51.000Chat, by the way, we did cover Israel-Iran war, just so you guys know, in an earlier part of the show.
01:45:57.000We don't have any more information about it.
01:46:57.000Yeah, I mean, the American people generally had a positive opinion of legal immigration up until...
01:47:16.000Yeah, total immigration moratorium is now kind of the standard.
01:47:19.000There was a long time where you could, where that, if you presented that idea, people would, you know, would gasp, you know, the idea that you would turn off immigration for any amount of time.
01:47:29.000And now you can, you know, there are people that are like, hey, 20 years, shut it down.
01:48:54.000Those kind of ideas are not the kind of things that you would talk to someone that considers themselves MAGA and say, they'd say, oh yeah, I back these ideas.
01:49:42.000No, look, I think that Dalimar has at least got the numbers right.
01:49:47.000If you've got 30,000 per day for 365 days, that's just short of 11 million per year, which would get us on track.
01:50:00.000Dalimar's on to something, I don't know.
01:50:01.000I'm just saying, if you're going to hit the benchmark of what most people would consider mass deportation, that would be about a million a year.
01:50:08.000Which is well below, obviously, the number that he provided in that super chat.
01:50:22.000I – and I – yes, I – you are correct, I think, in identifying what the popular mandate was.
01:50:26.000I think you are also correct in identifying what, like, kind of the feeling of what the threshold should be to meet that mandate.
01:50:33.000And I am more on the side of Dalimar than you might think.
01:50:39.000But what I appreciate, I think that guys like Tom Homan and Stephen Miller and the president, Kristi Noem, et cetera, are taking is what they want is they want – I think.
01:52:02.000That 20 million should be deported, but I'm okay with six.
01:52:04.000That was that conversation we were having earlier.
01:52:06.000But I do respect that in the execution, in the prosecution of a deportation operation, which is massively logistically complicated, that it takes some time to warm up.
01:52:18.000And so I'm willing to sort of let the administration figure this thing out.
01:52:21.000It might take them a year, 18 months or so.
01:52:23.000And then once we've got the rail lines built, we've got the beds and the housing facilities built, we've got ICE agents, ICE offices like repopulated with law enforcement officers.
01:52:35.000We've got cooperating sheriff's departments and police departments.
01:52:39.000That's when we start ticking it up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up until we get to that 30,000 per week, per day.
01:53:59.000I have no comment on the all caps part of that.
01:54:01.000But this is one of the things where I, as a conservative, am – Because I actually think in many instances that is the answer to valid concerns about who's going to harvest the almonds or the strawberries or whatever.
01:54:22.000If you look at the Palantirs of the world, they are developing technologies to basically just have hundreds, thousands of acres farmed by – And so there's no need to have tens of millions.
01:56:44.000Dan Stenger says, how about start finding business heavy for hiring illegal immigrants?
01:56:52.000If they can't make money, I'm guessing they won't stay in self-support.
01:56:55.000Look, that's something that I think goes to a total totalizing strategy for reducing not just illegal immigrants, but like, well,
01:57:11.000And that's make it as difficult for the people that are hiring the illegal immigrants and stuff to make it as difficult for them as possible, which is one of the reasons that are one of the most objectionable things to what Donald Trump said earlier when he was talking about, you know, the the the farmers and they're you know, they're going to get hurt so bad if we send away the the.
01:57:34.000And it's like, look, you shouldn't just be saying, oh, we don't want to see these farmers get hurt.
01:57:39.000You should be saying, look, we want to fine these farmers for hiring illegals at all.
01:57:43.000Like, the way to make sure that you don't have illegal immigrants in your country is to make it difficult for illegal immigrants to stay in your country.
01:57:52.000And you have to make it difficult for them to find work, and the best way to make it difficult for them to find work is to actually punish people that would hire illegal immigrants.
01:58:01.000Yeah, there has been a reluctance to do this over the past, like, 40 years.
01:58:20.000But really, it's the megacorporations that have the demand for the illegal labor and is the primary driving force to bringing in hundreds of millions of illegals.
01:58:31.000And then my neighbor, of course, there was a time there when I was like, wow, black guys and white guys are mowing lawns again.
01:58:43.000And then we got the next wave in the route again because even the local guy, you know, the dude that owns the company, it looking to profit.
01:59:13.000The SIGP220 said, Inside source is reporting Delaney Hall, New Jersey, the detention center holding ICE detainees that LaMonica MacIver assaulted agents has been taken over by the prisoners.
02:00:34.000I think that the protests are going to go off, and I think that most of the police forces in the U.S. will be able to handle whatever's going on in their respective jurisdictions.
02:01:03.000The way that you live in this country for 20 years without ever having to show papers is when you have a completely failed state that does not uphold any semblance of the rule of law.
02:01:29.000This is about actively subverting the will of the American people.
02:01:33.000Our government has been actively working against the American people, or at least the Democrats have.
02:01:40.000And, you know, you can argue the Republicans have, I'm sure, because the Republicans have been a failure at stopping it.
02:01:47.000But the fact that there have been all these efforts by NGOs using, you know, federal dollars that the American people are going to have to...
02:01:59.000The American people are going to have to deal with this and it's been the government, the Democrats using the American people's money to affect the ability of existing Americans' votes to matter.
02:02:48.000Yeah, that really does wrap all of the issues with the – But right now, we're going to have you guys head on over to Rumble.com and sign up, become a member, because we're going to go to that after show, the uncensored Rumble exclusive show.
02:03:13.000We'll head over there in just a few minutes.
02:06:47.000So the Daily Mail is talking about the audio of the Titan sub-CEO shouting down engineers who dared to question his death mission.
02:06:58.000Now this is the, what was the name of the company?
02:07:02.000Ocean Gate founder Stockton Rush can be heard in new audio clip firing his company's operations director after raising safety concern over the doomed Titan sub.
02:07:11.000In a record obtained by Netflix, of course it was Netflix.
02:07:15.000And used in their documentary Titan, the Ocean Gate disaster, Stockton 61 can be heard terminating the employment of David Lockridge.
02:07:24.000Well, let's take a listen to this here.
