00:06:03.000Today we're going to be joined by Trump administration border czar Stephen Miller.
00:06:09.000Stephen was a senior advisor and speechwriter in the Trump administration and in the Trump White House, and is one of the best advocates for America First policies that exist.
00:06:21.000He's currently the founder and president of America First Legal, where he fights against the Biden administration daily.
00:06:28.000You know the lawfare that the left does so effectively against us, try to tie you up in court, try to make us
00:08:45.000And while you're doing it, don't forget to check out Patriot Mobile,
00:08:49.000America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:08:54.000Guys, the key tenet of this show is we've got to support the companies who support you.

00:09:31.000protecting our brave police and first responders.

00:09:47.000patriotmobile.com slash T-R-I-G-G-E-R-E-D, and you can do that.
00:09:53.000But again, you're going to have a cell phone in your pocket.
00:09:55.000You can have it with the woke corporate cell phone companies that are donating your money to fight against all of the things that you believe.
00:10:02.000Or you can have it with someone who believes in our values and all of the things that we believe.
00:10:43.000I mean, just take Trump as an example, but this is one of many things, right?
00:10:47.000They have teams of lawyers that dedicate time, resources, millions of dollars just preventing You're one of the few guys that's actually taken that system and fought back against the Democrats.
00:11:04.000Tell us a little bit about what you're doing, why it's so important, how others can get involved in it, because it really is a component.
00:11:11.000You see, when I say the lawfare, that's the Attorney General trying to sue Trump to oblivion to prevent him from exercising anything.
00:11:20.000You know, I'd love not to have that exist in America.
00:11:23.000I'd love for those games to not be played.
00:11:26.000But so long as the other side is playing those games, I think we need to be playing the same game.
00:11:32.000I always say, you know, we play t-ball, they play hardball, and we wonder what happens why, you know, as we watch just our freedom, our country eroding from underneath us, we wonder why.
00:12:55.000You're going to get crushed. And so we needed every level of the conservative legal movement to fight fire with fire.
00:13:02.000And so my piece of this is that I run America First Legal, which basically you can think of as a law firm Nonprofit dedicated to fighting for all the things that you and your viewers care about.
00:13:18.000We sue schools for pushing gender theory down our children's throats.
00:13:22.000We sue HHS for vaccine mandates or for Violating the conscience rights of medical professionals.
00:13:31.000We sue the Biden administration for race-based provision of government benefits.
00:13:37.000We sue private actors for being involved in illegal censorship of free speech online, and on and on and on down the list.
00:13:46.000Everything bad that's happening out there in the world, we're out there suing the people that are responsible for those policies, trying to shut them down, expose them, Get discovery that can reveal all of these dark secrets and then hopefully obtain favorable rulings as we have in many cases at the end of the day to actually prohibit this unlawful conduct.
00:14:29.000And I understand sort of the biblical roots of that, but it's like, no, man...
00:14:33.000They love that we've done that for 50 years.
00:14:36.000They've taken over every major institution because of that laissez-faire attitude.
00:14:43.000They could care less what the Constitution says.
00:14:48.000So much of what I try to do is just wake people up to the notion that just because it says it doesn't mean they won't try to Get rid of that.
00:14:54.000Just because it says it doesn't mean anything.
00:15:02.000And that couldn't be more evident based on the immigration policies we see on a daily basis, based on the mandates, based on the censorship that we see from government trying to work with big tech to suppress one side of a conversation but not the other.
00:15:16.000How do you get people to understand that?
00:15:19.000Because again, I've been watching it now.
00:15:21.000Listen, you've been on the front lines of this since you got in the Trump administration.
00:15:24.000I mean, we've been doing this since 15 together.
00:15:27.000But if people still don't quite get it, what would be some of the examples that you could use to drive home?
00:15:34.000Because it is shocking to me that I still see people that are like, no, Don, but the Constitution says, oh, that's great.
00:15:43.000If we were playing the same game, we're not playing the same game.
00:15:47.000Right. In fact, they use that against us.
00:15:50.000That is actually, the left understands our greatest weakness to be our refusal to get into these kinds of tit-for-tat legal, political, and other fights.
00:16:06.000In other words, they think that our The obsession with being the go-along-and-get-along conservative unwilling to, fill in the blank, impeach or subpoena or arrest or sue or do anything else like that will be our downfall.
00:16:27.000That's what they're betting on. They're betting on the fact that they will appoint attorneys general Who will systematically dismantle conservatives and then we'll appoint attorneys general who will just endlessly lecture us on why they can't do anything.
00:16:42.000And so, I mean, just to think of a really recent example.
00:16:46.000So, the Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is guilty of, by any definition, human trafficking, human smuggling, child endangerment, violation of dozens of different federal laws and statutes.
00:17:00.000And so Marjorie Taylor Greene forced a vote on impeachment.
00:17:03.000And eight Republicans voted no, which was enough to kill the impeachment.
00:17:08.000And they all had different reasons and explanations.
00:17:10.000But most of them were basically some version of Well, in my opinion, the Founding Fathers really didn't think that impeachment should apply in this case or that case or anything else.
00:17:20.000Again, these sort of ridiculous classroom theory philosophizing rather than living in the real world and saying, this man is destroying the country.
00:17:31.000The only remedy available to you is impeachment.
00:17:35.000DOJ is not going to arrest him, right?
00:17:38.000Joe Biden is here at least through 2024, right?
00:17:44.000And you're sitting there trying to rationalize, well, I think if I interpret Federalist Paper 67 this way, I think that it really doesn't apply to this exact circumstance because he is the leader of the invasion into this country.
00:17:59.000And you're not even willing to send articles of impeachment.
00:18:06.000That is the conservative mindset that has brought us to the shameful point that we're in right now where we've lost corporations, we've lost the law schools, we've lost the legal credentialing bodies like the Bar Association, we've lost almost every single important institution in this country because of our laissez-faire attitude against a political opponent that is absolutely ruthless.
00:18:32.000No, that's a great example, because I saw that.
00:18:34.000Even, like, Daryl Issa was one of the people who voted against the impeachment.
00:18:39.000But there's a tweet from him, like, a couple weeks ago that was like, I look forward to hearing him at the impeachment hearing, but then he votes against it.
00:18:46.000We do this every time, and it's not just members of Congress.
00:18:49.000Like, do you think for a second that if this was reversed...
00:18:53.000Right? If you had you as our borders are, shutting down immigration, not allowing this insanity...
00:18:59.000Do you think that when the Democrats controlled the House by a slim margin, you think one person would turn?
00:19:05.000You think one person would say, well, there's maybe an example where this wasn't exactly intended.
00:19:10.000It sort of happened... I mean, the same thing at the Supreme Court, really, right?
00:19:13.000When big decisions go up to the Supreme Court, if they were going to inure towards the conservatives, the conservative justices, almost without fail...
00:19:22.000We'll figure out a way to be like, no, it's actually, maybe the law applies this way, Dems get a win.
00:19:27.000If it's the other way, each and every time, boom, this is our interpretation of the law of the Constitution, gone.
00:19:33.000We're playing two different games, and we have been for so long.
00:19:38.000That was the best example in recent time, because it's like, There is not a single justification for what's going on at our border.
00:19:47.000We want to spend $150 billion over to Ukraine.
00:19:49.000We're sending $14.6 billion to Israel.
00:19:52.000We're doing this. We couldn't finish the border wall for a couple billion bucks, like three billion bucks.
00:19:55.000We couldn't finish it. Republicans were the ones that slow-rolled that to begin with because Paul Ryan and the likes wanted to be invited to the cool person Christmas party.
00:20:04.000I mean, you remember all of that. That wasn't actually the Democrats.
00:20:06.000That was the Republicans because we had the ability to get it done, but they refused because they would rather be accepted into polite Democrat society in Washington, D.C. than actually do what their constituency wants.
00:20:18.000And, you know, candidly, we fought wars, big ones, in this country about...
00:20:25.000Having our representatives actually represent us, and it doesn't feel like the Republicans in many cases are doing that anymore.
00:20:33.000Well, I think that you just have different incentive structures at the end of the day, and you have different reasons for going into politics.
00:20:51.000policymakers and legislators and so forth, they are very focused on just being able to live what they see as a good life, right?
00:20:59.000Get invited to the right events, be able to be on the right boards, be able to have a good job lined up when you retire.
00:21:05.000They're not interested in what the left would call fundamental transformation.
00:21:09.000Whereas left-wing officials are extremely focused on trying to change the country in every way possible.
00:21:17.000That's what they're focused on, morning, evening, afternoon, and night.
00:21:21.000And so when those two opposing forces meet, our side is gonna lose every single time
00:21:27.000because we're not relentlessly focused on delivering a fundamental restoration
00:21:33.000to counter their fundamental transformation.
00:21:37.000And so, a guy like Paul Ryan He not only isn't even interested in doing that, there's also a second problem, which is that there's a strong strain of thinking inside of the conservative movement, and fortunately Donald Trump has largely vanquished this, but it's still there, that actually naively believes if we just open our arms We're good to go.
00:22:22.000There's that strain of thinking that is at best dangerously naive.
00:22:26.000So bottom line, conservatives have to get tough and they have to get smart real fast.
00:22:32.000Because if we continue to lie prone and submit and be soft and be weak, again to the point where we can't even impeach Alejandro Mayorkas?
00:22:46.000The most impeachable person that's ever occupied a capitol position ever?
00:22:50.000If we can't even do that, we have significant problems ahead of us.
00:22:55.000I really fear. Let's talk immigration a little bit.
00:22:58.000Obviously, this is the one that put you on the radar.
00:23:03.000You're a big architect of sort of the Trump administration policies on that.
00:23:07.000Obviously, a lot going on at the border.
00:23:09.000We'll get to that in a second. But, you know, I'm watching what's going on right now in the, you know, Israeli conflict.
00:23:16.000And I'm watching Israeli scholars write opinion pieces in the Wall Street Journal saying, No, no, no.
00:23:21.000The U.S. should just open its arms and just take the Palestinian refugees.
00:23:25.000I mean, it's almost like, wait a minute.
00:23:26.000So the problem that you don't want to deal with and would love to get rid of, the problem that literally all of their Arab neighbors who, you know, in the case of Jordan is like, you know, vast majority Palestinian background population, zero people want to be accepted.
00:23:42.000Those countries want to take exactly zero of the refugees from there.
00:23:47.000Now, Israeli scholars are writing opinion pieces and articles in the Wall Street Journal being like, no, America should just take them.
00:23:53.000I think it'll be wonderful. This diversity is our strength.
00:23:57.000What the hell is going on here that we're doing this with a straight face?
00:24:01.000You know, you see the article, you're like, why on earth would we do that?
00:24:04.000And then you're like, oh, oh, there are scholars from Israel who would love to just farm off their problems to the United States.
00:24:12.000And what do you think happens in that situation while we're talking sort of all things immigration?
00:24:17.000Well, first of all, a lot of people owe Donald Trump a big apology who criticized the travel ban.
00:24:24.000I remember, probably as you do, I remember that he wasn't just being criticized from the left, he was criticized from members of the so-called conservative movement, too, at the time.
00:24:36.000The travel ban now, in light of what's happening in the world, probably to almost everyone now, would be one of Donald Trump's absolute best and most important policies.
00:24:48.000Keeping radical jihadists out of the country for four years.
00:24:53.000Because now what we're seeing under the Biden administration on our college campuses are all of these jihadists who've been let into our universities in the last few years to study who are pro-Hamas.
00:25:07.000Continuing on their current path, they're not going to go home either, right?
00:25:11.000They're going to get offered a job in the United States and they're going to become citizens and they're going to raise pro-Hamas children.
00:25:18.000And we're going to have the same problem here that they have in London and they have in Paris and everywhere else.
00:25:24.000We are importing anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism into this country from parts of the world that have viewpoints that are radically antithetical to our own.
00:25:36.000So to your point specifically about Palestinian or Gazian refugees, their own neighbors don't want them because they fear the instability they would bring to their societies.
00:25:47.000In other words, Egypt and Jordan travel a lot more cultural commonality with Gaza Are worried that the cultural attitude differences in Gaza would destabilize Egypt or destabilize Jordan.
00:26:03.000So just hold on a second. But America, I've got a great idea for you.
00:26:09.000Yes, in Egypt, what the heck is it going to do in New York or Indiana or Michigan?
00:26:59.000But you know what? They know, because that's where they're from, they know that there's been so much multi-generational indoctrination in the Palestinian territories, in the West Bank and in Gaza, That is not just taking them and moving them to a new location is not going to magically make that indoctrination disappear.
00:27:21.000We've all seen the videos of children in kindergarten and preschool being taught all these hateful ideologies.
00:27:28.000That doesn't just magically go away if you move them somewhere else.
00:27:34.000To undo that kind of ideological programming.
00:27:39.000And so the other countries there understand it.
00:27:41.000And yet we have many people in America, not just on the left, who are either stupid enough or malicious enough to say, okay, let's relocate the Gaza community into Kentucky.
00:27:57.000Yeah, no, there's not, like, no one has even attempted, like, there's not even a pretense of, like, let's call it assimilation, right?
00:28:06.000They come here and they're a hardcore, in many cases, you know, Sharia law supporting model.
00:28:14.000They don't welcome, they'll take, you know, they'll take the freebies from our country, but, like, they don't accept any of the other aspects of our culture.
00:29:17.000They are still, you know, Palestinian, whatever it may be, and that's it.
00:29:21.000They have no interest, and they've shown that time and time again.
00:29:23.000And I watch this. The New York Times, I posted it on my social the other day, you know, the New York Times, sweeping raids, giant camps, and mass deportations inside Trump's 2025 immigration plans.
00:29:44.000At Penn, my alma mater, I don't know if it is anymore, because the insanity that we see on the campus of that and other Ivy League colleges, Harvard, Cornell, the west coast of Stanford.
00:30:33.000How is it even possible that this is happening in polite society today?
00:30:38.000It is very bizarre that the things that, I mean, just think about the American University example.
00:30:43.000The things that could get you suspended, disciplined, or even expelled.
00:30:48.000Basically, if you said anything that Tucker Carlson said, or has said in the last few years, that we would all consider it to be mainstream, true common sense on a college campus, right?
00:31:01.000You could face all kinds of disciplinary action.
00:31:04.000But you could be a rabid Hamas supporter, and you will be completely shielded from disciplinary action.
00:31:11.000You will face no consequences or repercussions whatsoever.
00:31:15.000And it's because, in the case of our university system, that they are fundamentally committed to the deconstruction of Western civilization.
00:31:24.000It's important to think of our universities today No longer as universities, but as training centers for dismantling Western institutions.
00:31:35.000So all of these things, these terms that we've become familiar with now that we didn't know a few years ago, right?
00:31:40.000Critical race theory, queer theory, and gender theory, now decolonization is the word we're all hearing.
00:31:49.000Theories, disciplines, and so forth are all about trying to dismantle the structures of Western civilization, the way that we approach the legal system, the judiciary, law enforcement, police, military, etc.
00:32:02.000And then the goal is to then produce people who will then become the future judges, the future prosecutors, the future FBI agents, who will be resolutely committed To jailing and punishing people who think like us, and letting the drug dealers, the cartel members, and all of the other threats in society go completely free.
00:32:27.000You saw what happened at the DNC last week.
00:32:29.000You know, they take it over, they're rioting, they're in there.
00:32:32.000You know, none of those people are going to jail, put in solitary confinement, denied due process for, you know, jailed for 17 to 25 years.
00:32:38.000Not one of those people is going to be solitary for two years.
00:32:40.000I can promise you. Not one of those people is going to go to jail.
00:33:19.000How bad is Biden's open borders and the policies that are driving it as it relates You know, to all of this, because I don't think we can understand the volume.
00:33:30.000It's literally becoming, you know, percentages, full percentage points of our population streaming across, in many cases totally incapable of taking care of themselves, in many, you know, just designed, it seems, to destroy our infrastructure.
00:33:45.000You know, we have a disastrous education system.
00:33:47.000Hey, flood it with millions more children who can't speak English, and congratulations, America, you can pay for that.
00:34:05.000What's going on? Yeah, so it's worse than anybody could ever possibly imagine.
00:34:11.000And I think that your point about the numbers is really significant, because I don't think that we can wrap our heads easily around the scale that we're talking about here.
00:34:20.000So take, for example, the state of Montana, a state that I think is near and dear to all of our hearts, we love very much, has some of the most amazing people in the world.
00:34:30.000That state has more or less about a million people.
00:34:33.000And if you think about what Montana has contributed to the country, culturally, socially, economically, etc., right?
00:34:42.000In a given year, Biden is bringing in three or four times as many people as live in all of Montana.
00:34:53.000So they'll have three or four times more cultural power, social power, economic influence, commercial influence, political influence, right, as the entire state of Montana.
00:35:05.000It took... Hundreds of years to make Montana what Montana is today, right?
00:35:10.000All the settlers and farmers, the frontiersmen who carved out the land and the territory and tamed it, turn to what it is today.
00:35:19.000Now, is outvoted and outmaneuvered by the millions and millions of people who are coming in who don't have, in many cases, the same values, the same priorities, just the same way of looking at the world.
00:35:37.000And so the scale and the scope of transformation is really hard to fathom.
00:35:43.000And you don't feel it or see it right away.
00:35:47.000Because we're a pretty geographically dispersed country, right?
00:35:51.000It's a large territory, unlike, say, United Kingdom, I mean, comparatively speaking.
00:35:56.000And so, you know, I'm from Los Angeles originally, as an example.
00:35:59.000I would obviously never go back there.
00:36:01.000So if you live in your little cloistered part of LA, right?
00:36:06.000So if you're in, like, a little cloistered part of LA, like, say, a nice community, like, by the beach, right?
00:36:12.000Or a little enclave of Malibu, or a nice little strip of Beverly Hills.
00:36:16.000You can sort of shut your eyes and ears and not notice that there are millions of people, millions living in abject poverty.
00:36:25.000There are millions of people who are not fluent or proficient in English.
00:36:32.000There are millions of people who rely solely on the government for substance.
00:36:38.000There are millions of children in public schools who cannot read or write or do arithmetic.
00:36:44.000The effects of open borders over years has completely destroyed the quality of living, the social safety net, the education system, everything.
00:36:52.000But if you live in a certain area, you can just pretend it's not there.
00:37:45.000It assures that the Democrats ultimately take over the House in perpetuity, and that's when they just crush every other aspect of our lives.
00:37:53.000I mean, I guess that's the only really logical way that they're playing this game, which is fine.
00:37:58.000We're going to do this. It's going to destroy these cities.
00:38:00.000It doesn't really matter. In eight years, they'll have a new census, and then, congratulations, we're redistricting the country, and the Democrats will control two-thirds of Congress in perpetuity.
00:38:11.000Exactly right. A lot of people don't realize, by the way, that illegal aliens are used for apportionment to put more members of Congress in certain locations.
00:38:35.000Yeah, that's obviously unconstitutional, but that's how it was done, and that has to change.
00:38:39.000But on top of that, you also have this phenomenon known as birthright citizenship, which creates voters and citizens within each illegal immigrant household.
00:38:52.000And so, just hypothetically, you take a typical illegal immigrant family, they have, say, four children who are all automatically confirmed citizenship.
00:39:00.000You can then use your child's citizenship status As access to every single federal welfare and government program, because you're applying on behalf of the US citizen.
00:39:11.000So food stamps, public housing, federal health care, and so on and so forth down the list.
00:39:18.000And then obviously, when they turn 18, then they become voters, and they also have chain migration and everything else.
00:39:23.000So the effects multiply and expand with time.
00:39:28.000And if we don't, as your point of the New York Times article, If we don't move quickly to expel all the people that Biden let in, it won't just be 10 million people, which is bad enough, whatever the number is.
00:39:43.000It will be 10 million people plus 20 million children plus their 20 million relatives.
00:40:11.000I mean, as a Jewish American who's been called a Nazi and everything like that, it's sort of amazing.
00:40:16.000But the last couple of weeks has truly been like...
00:40:19.000And honestly, maybe it's the rude awakening we need to see just how insane our Democrat policymakers are, the people who back them, the people who they back over the American people.
00:40:29.000But you grew up in Santa Monica, and we saw part of the I-10 freeway in Los Angeles be totally destroyed due to a fire that officials are saying is arson.
00:40:40.000Possibly linked to the homeless encampments underneath the highway.
00:40:43.000I mean, I don't know if this is one of the highways that's racist because it was too tall or too short to house.
00:40:48.000I don't know. That was the Pete Buttigieg insanity.
00:40:50.000But talk about growing up on the west side of Los Angeles and how it's changed.
00:40:57.000Listen, this is a bastion of liberal insanity, but do the people there finally wake up?
00:41:04.000What's going to happen to the infrastructure?
00:41:06.000You lose one of those big freeways, it's already a disaster getting around LA. Do you think this impacts other people's political views?
00:41:16.000The start and the fall of California from when you were born to today?
00:41:21.000I mean, California was the home of Reagan.
00:41:31.000Growing up in the Southland of California, And seeing with my own eyes how these radical left policies, as well as open borders, was ruining what was this paradise.
00:41:46.000I mean, it's hard to even explain how good the weather is in Los Angeles if you haven't been there.
00:41:54.000Basically, 12 months a year, it's neither too hot nor too cold, which is amazing.
00:42:12.000Everything's perfect. And they've turned it into a hellhole.
00:42:16.000You know how hard you have to work to destroy a place that nice?
00:42:20.000I mean, it is a spectacular achievement in the worst way possible to ruin California, and that's what they did.
00:42:29.000So it absolutely shaped a lot of my thinking.
00:42:32.000As to whether or not it will be able to turn around, I fear that California is in a death spiral.
00:42:40.000And so they're going to have to bottom out long and hard.
00:42:43.000I don't think there's going to be an awakening in time.
00:42:45.000So my honest advice to people in California Um, who, who understand how bad it is and aren't living in a delusion is if you have the means and ability to leave, just leave.
00:43:42.000You know, no, no, we're escaping that, but we're only bringing a little bit with us, and then it...
00:43:47.000Snowballs, right? It is the ultimate irony.
00:43:54.000It also just shows how human beings are sometimes incapable of seeing their own failures.
00:44:01.000You will have people, and we all know people like this to some extent or another, who live their whole lives in Manhattan or their whole lives in L.A., and they complain about everything.
00:44:11.000They complain about the crime, the cost of living, the public transit, the public schools.
00:44:17.000You know, they'll spend a fortune just to keep their kids out of the public schools while complaining about the taxes that they're spending to pay for the public schools.
00:44:26.000And that they'll move somewhere else, right?
00:44:29.000And they'll vote for the same taxes, the same public school policies, the same public safety policies, the same, same, same, same, same.
00:44:35.000As though the reason why California was failing was some property in the soil, or the reason why New York City was failing was some property in the water.
00:44:48.000Every time you showed up to some stupid fundraiser and wrote a max-out check for some stupid left-wing politician, you are literally the problem.
00:44:57.000And so, yeah, we don't want you to move.
00:45:37.000I saw that because it isn't just Austin, right?
00:45:40.000You know, I saw that a lot during the last couple cycles.
00:45:43.000It's like I go to Dallas, you know, and I go to visit a buddy of mine in, like, Highland Park, nice neighborhood, whatever it is, and I'm going through and it's like I'm seeing all these Beto signs.
00:45:52.000Like, these are rich, spoiled people, like, living great lives.
00:45:55.000And it's like, but it's like, honestly, I think it's like the housewife.
00:45:58.000Like, some of these rich suburban housewives, they're so bored that their entire existence,
00:46:08.000And it's, how do we get perceived as cool while in the line at Starbucks and at the little?
00:46:15.000And they're pushing the insanity because they basically have nothing to worry about.
00:46:20.000They're going to be behind their fences.
00:46:21.000They're going to be in the gated communities.
00:46:23.000But because of the social construct and the social structures of the left,
00:46:27.000It's like you get bonus points by being extra woke and you can do this thing.
00:46:31.000So they're voting for policies that would destroy their own neighborhoods, but they don't really care because they're probably rich enough to avoid it.
00:46:36.000It's everyone else. And I see that problem sort of manifesting itself.
00:46:42.000They don't know anything what's going on in politics because they don't want for anything.
00:46:45.000You know, they're sitting at home and they're Lululemon and going to yoga and going to Starbucks and going to some juice bar and like drinking wine at lunch every day.
00:46:55.000And it's like, well, how do we get cool?
00:46:57.000It's like, well, we'll talk about these things and we'll support idiots like Beto O'Rourke.
00:47:01.000It makes no sense, but it's happening daily.
00:47:05.000Yes. The demographic you're talking about, the insufferable rich white liberal, is wreaking absolute havoc on this country.
00:47:16.000Because they're not just voting for all of these policies and politicians, but they're opening their checkbooks.
00:48:40.000And so, yeah, it's a real significant driver of the problem because that group of people, if you're lucky enough to work in corporate America, That group of people are probably your HR managers.
00:48:56.000They're probably the legal department.
00:49:00.000And so they're the gatekeepers to professional life in America.
00:49:03.000They're the ones forcing these workshops down people's throats.
00:49:06.000And so if we don't as a movement fight back against that, We're going to keep on losing.
00:49:15.000That's why it's so important to our beginning conversation, and this is what my organization is doing, you have to sue the corporations that are pushing these policies.
00:49:23.000You know, for example, we sued Target.
00:49:26.000In the aftermath of their disastrous Pride Month rollout that sank their shareholder value.
00:49:34.000We need Congress to defund critical race theory and gender theory and all of these things.
00:49:40.000It's not enough just to say, I don't support it.
00:49:43.000You actually have to go after it and try and shut it down because it will destroy this country.
00:49:50.000No, 100%. And there's so much of that going on.
00:49:53.000I mean, I saw the stats, like the S&P 500 companies was like, of the 600,000 jobs or whatever, this was two, three weeks ago, so I don't remember the stats exactly, but of the hundreds of thousands of jobs created by the S&P 500 in their, you know, like 13% went to white people.
00:50:09.000I'm like, wait, 13% in a country that's 70%?
00:50:12.000I'm like, wait a second. Like, there wasn't just a magical underperformance, you know, by white people.
00:50:19.000And I saw that story you were mentioning.
00:50:21.000In those companies, it's like, no, no, no, but if you check a box, you don't have to be the best candidate.
00:50:26.000You don't have to be the best, but if you check a box, diversity is somehow our strength.
00:50:30.000No one's been able to point out to me how, but it doesn't matter because they say it loud, and corporate America will do that.
00:50:36.000I'm like, so you're saying, they're like, how...
00:50:38.000Don, you must be racist because you can't imagine that someone overperformed from a minority group.
00:50:43.000I go, no, of course. Listen, I see it all the time.
00:50:47.000But you're telling me that of hundreds of thousands of jobs, magically, all white people grossly underperformed and all minorities grossly overperformed in public corporations?
00:51:46.000And yeah, so, I mean, most importantly, it's illegal.
00:51:52.000So these companies, in many cases, have explicit hiring, training, recruiting, etc.
00:52:01.000programs. That are exclusionary, that say this race is allowed, this race isn't allowed.
00:52:09.000And obviously, most of the time, the excluded group are going to be white, sometimes white and Asian, and oftentimes men as well are disadvantaged.
00:52:20.000And so, for example, we just filed a civil rights complaint.
00:52:24.000This is one that really, I think, upsets people, against multiple airline companies.
00:52:30.000For hiring and recruiting based on race, including pilots.
00:52:37.000If you can think of a crazier idea than hiring pilots on race rather than objective job capability, I can't think of one.
00:52:47.000And, you know, we've all seen the reports about a lot of near misses in aviation recently.
00:52:52.000These policies are ultimately going to get people killed.
00:52:56.000You know, we thought a lot of people didn't take it seriously when the discrimination was just happening in, you know, what you think of as like the soft fields, right?
00:53:06.000Like, you know, marketing or something.
00:53:08.000Although illegal is illegal, wrong is wrong.
00:53:10.000Now they are using these policies in the life or death professions, right?
00:53:22.000It was the pilots as well as air traffic control.
00:53:25.000So like, what could go wrong? All I know, Stephen, is that if I'm going to die in a fiery ball falling out of the sky at 36,000 feet, I want to know that I contributed to woke hiring practices.
00:53:38.000Because that's what I But you see that.
00:53:41.000Yeah, they should ask you to sign a waiver.
00:53:44.000You know, they say, are you willing to perform the duties in the exit row?
00:53:46.000They should ask you, are you willing to sacrifice your life on this plane today to help our company hit its equity quota?
00:53:52.000Yeah, but again, they're running around out there.
00:54:06.000I went through the training. It's lunacy.
00:54:10.000By the way, I don't care if all of the pilots are minorities.
00:54:14.000If you're green and you're the best pilot in the world, I... I fly like 350,000 miles a year, practically more than any human being in the world.
00:54:23.000Like, you know, most of it commercial coach.
00:54:27.000Like, I want that pilot to be able to land the damn plane.
00:54:30.000Not that they're there because they checked off a couple boxes and they're doing it, but they're actively recruiting it.
00:54:35.000But what's even crazier is that our country, our mindset, is so warped now that there are people actually cheering
00:54:42.000the fact that you're getting on a plane that may have someone
00:54:45.000less qualified so that we can fill diversity quotas.
00:54:49.000The airlines are literally advertising it as though it's like, this is a reason to fly our airline,
00:54:56.000as opposed to to avoid it at all possible costs.
00:55:01.000And here's the thing, is that if you actually gave Americans a choice, no matter what
00:55:07.000the skin color of the American citizen was, we all know what they would choose.
00:55:11.000In other words, if you said, okay, you can pick from two airlines, same price, same seat, same everything, flying to the same destination, same airport, no difference at all.
00:55:20.000But this one thing, airline A chose the pilot who had the highest score on their flying exam and the most hours logged.
00:55:30.000Airline B chose the pilot that helped them achieve a specific diversity hiring goal.
00:55:37.000Everyone's choosing A. No matter what the skin color...
00:55:40.000Honestly, at this point, Stephen, I disagree with you.
00:55:43.000At this point, there are liberals that would choose B just because.
00:55:49.000There's one demographic that would choose B, which is the insufferable white liberal.
00:55:53.000You're right. By the way, the minorities that may be the beneficiary of some of these policies, even they're choosing A, okay?
00:56:01.000But the suburban white housewife, that's the one that may choose B. Only the one with the yard sign that says, in this house, you know, we're trans and critical race theory and hate has no home here.
00:56:15.000The yard sign people, the only one that are choosing B. Yeah, I actually...
00:56:18.000Everyone else is shooting me. I had a buddy call me the other day.
00:56:22.000He literally was like, I just got on a plane, and he's panicking.
00:56:25.000He's like, the pilot made an announcement.
00:56:28.000I forget the airline. I don't need to call it out.
00:56:30.000But it was like, this is Captain so-and-so, and I am ex-airlines, major airline carrier.
00:56:35.000Like, not even one of the budget ones.
00:56:38.000And I am the first trans pilot to be...
00:56:41.000And he was just like... Literally, text me like, holy shit, I'm gonna die.
00:56:49.000If that's the best pilot, I'm happy to have every pilot in America be trans, if for some reason that makes them great.
00:56:55.000Now, if they're on all sorts of meds to help stabilize their hormonal levels and make sure they're not crazy, you know, when I see some of the violence coming out of the trans community, I'm like, I don't know, do I want my pilot jacked up on all sorts of hormonal medications to make sure that they're fine?
00:58:37.000And then they indicted Trump the next day.
00:58:40.000They almost feel complicit with the Democrats.
00:58:44.000Like, hey, the lawfare is okay as long as it moves me forward politically.
00:58:47.000And then other than that, I'm really against it.
00:58:50.000What's going on? No, I think that's clearly what's happening.
00:58:54.000I think that there's a lot of people who are in the stop Trump, the never Trump, the anti-Trump category, candidates, politicians, donors, etc., who are just wishing and hoping and waiting that the lawfare somehow changes the dynamic in the primary.
00:59:11.000Because clearly, if the objective is just as it should be, To defeat the radical left, to stop Joe Biden, etc., then obviously, even if you're not a hardcore pro-Trump conservative, but you just care about taking your country back, you would say that now's the time to consolidate, put your resources behind the runaway frontrunner.
00:59:40.000I mean, it's not even close. Nothing like it before in history in terms of the gap.
00:59:44.000Stop wasting money on an internecine primary battle and focus all of your energies, like getting your ballot operations in order, getting your harvesting operations in order, and focusing on the general election.
00:59:55.000Instead, we're going to waste tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, basically attacking Trump from two directions.
01:00:03.000You have DOJ attacking him, and then you have other Republicans attacking him.
01:00:07.000Yeah, I'm watching the Biden administration take all the DeSantis stuff and utilize it.
01:00:11.000I'm like, that seems great for conservatism.
01:00:16.000And you understand, they just have a lot of money in their super PACs.
01:00:18.000The consultants are stealing the vast majority of that money, right?
01:00:21.000If we buy an ad, it's going to run through our ad company, and we're going to go through our purchasing company, and we get to take 60% of that money.
01:00:29.000We've got $50 million left, so we can probably pocket another $30 million and change into the hands of two or three people.
01:00:36.000And that's what people don't understand.
01:00:38.000They think these are like genuine attacks, and it's just a big grift from the people in the swamp.
01:00:43.000You know, something else we've got to just try to expose so people just understand, you know, they're being manipulated not because people actually believe in these things, but because they understand that this is how a lot of people in the swamp make a lot of money.
01:00:57.000Yes, I mean, I think the people don't really sometimes understand the economic model here, which is that The ad firms, the consultancy firms, the various campaign firms, the longer the primary goes on, the more money that they make.
01:01:16.000Now, I'm not saying, of course, that there should never be primaries in any circumstance.
01:01:23.000What I'm saying is, you have the overwhelming choice.
01:01:28.000Of conservative Americans, Republican Americans, GOP primary voters, all saying, we want Trump, we want Trump, we want Trump.
01:01:37.000Every day, every week, every month that we are continuing this primary, instead of focusing on the general election, we are helping all of the forces that you and I talked about today who are trying to destroy this country.
01:02:52.000They were not doing deals prior to him amassing power and these things.
01:02:57.000But even our own side is like, well, we're not really sure yet.
01:03:00.000I'm like, no one else would get the benefit of the doubt in this.
01:03:03.000It's certainly not from the Democrats.
01:03:06.000What's going on and how bad is the corruption?
01:03:09.000Yeah, well, the corruption, obviously, is like nothing we've ever seen before.
01:03:12.000And every day, thanks in large part to James Comer, a new revelation comes out about the kickbacks, about the shady financial dealings, the pay for play, the influence peddling, the tax evasion, and so on and so forth with the Biden crime family.
01:03:30.000But now, as you mentioned, you also have this scandal where you have thousands of emails sent under aliases and pseudonyms when Joe Biden was vice president that clearly suggest an effort to conceal the discovery of these communications.
01:03:46.000So my organization is fighting to get access to these emails.
01:03:49.000As I know as James Comer, we've also obtained many other emails from the Office of the Vice President showing just how extensively Joe Biden's Vice Presidential Office and Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca interacted and co-mingled during Joe Biden's time as Vice President.
01:04:07.000So what are some of the other America First legal efforts that we should be aware of that people can, you know, tell us about those?
01:04:35.000I think that what I would say is, in addition to what I discussed earlier, we also just won a big case relating to letting children opt out of radical left lesson plans in a...
01:04:50.000Then we also just sued the Montgomery County Public Schools for denying parents access to public meetings after pushing trans materials in the classroom.
01:05:01.000And then we're also expanding our push into suing corporations and entities for what we've talked about today, which are these racist DEI policies.
01:05:08.000So, for example, we have a lawsuit against Amazon for race-based discrimination.
01:05:12.000We have a lawsuit against medical schools in Texas for race-based discrimination.
01:05:16.000We sued NYU for race-based discrimination.
01:05:18.000By the way, another place, sort of like my pilot's, I want the best doctor, whether they're, you know, green, blue, or purple.
01:05:28.000I want the best doctor, not someone who got a doctor checkbox.
01:05:33.000That seems like another big one, but minor details, right?
01:05:36.000Yes, medical school is definitely an area where you want the best.
01:05:38.000You do not want skin color to be the determining factor of whether or not you get a medical license.
01:05:42.000So, bottom line, we're suing all the bad guys, one lawsuit after another, hard-hitting litigation,
01:05:49.000winning big victories, achieving one significant landmark for the conservative legal movement
01:08:17.000You can have your hard-earned dollars used by big, woke corporate weaponized against you, or you can support companies like Patriot Mobile who fight with you in your corner.
