And he said we're going to have record-breaking deportation, etc., etc., okay?
00:00:08.440
Report ICE agents arrest 30,000 illegals in June, the most in half a decade, okay?
00:00:15.680
Now, half a decade, guys, sounds like 50 years.
00:00:18.760
But the way they write it is like, you know, half a decade.
00:00:22.380
It just sounds better when they put it that way.
00:00:25.000
Some 30,000 illegal aliens were arrested by ICE in June.
00:00:29.560
Obtained in June, 30,000 illegals were arrested.
00:00:34.720
According to ICE data, more than 18,000 illegals were either deported by ICE agents, you know, and then boom.
00:00:39.800
So now the number of all deportations from the interior of U.S. is still unknown.
00:00:44.160
As DHS officials states, 253,000 illegal aliens have been either removed or deported, okay?
00:00:50.620
62% of Americans disapprove of Trump's immigration policies.
00:00:56.300
Now, let me kind of read this because this is Forbes.
00:00:58.000
Forbes is officially a socialist network when it comes down to Forbes.
00:01:06.420
This used to be a place called Capitalist Tool, but I don't know who the hell is running Forbes right now.
00:01:14.100
This guy bought 66% of it for $800 million or some number like that.
00:01:18.380
Yeah, he bought 75% of Forbes for $800 million.
00:01:23.300
I think at the time they had a $40 million EBITDA.
00:01:27.040
A June Gallup poll released Friday reveals that 79% of surveyed adults view immigration as a good thing for the country.
00:01:34.020
Record high with only 17% seeing it as a bad thing.
00:01:36.900
Reversing a 2021-2024 trend, increasing negative view with a jump in positive perception, primarily amongst Republicans and Democrats.
00:01:46.880
We're going to 91% believe that immigration is beneficial.
00:01:49.920
The poll indicates growing support pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants up 78% from 70% last year,
00:01:57.140
while support for stringent measures like increasing border patrol agents declined 17 points and the border wall dropped to 45% despite Trump's administration's swift and visible response to surge in illegal border crossing during Biden's administration.
00:02:12.260
Despite these shifts, 62% of Americans disapprove of Trump's immigration policies with 45% strongly disapproving compared to 35% and obviously the numbers between Republicans and Democrats.
00:02:30.560
Well, I'm going to take us back in time to the first poll ever taken.
00:02:36.180
100% of pilgrims thought immigration was good for America because they could leave King George.
00:02:52.500
But number two, do you think illegal immigration has been good for America?
00:03:01.660
And you've got people saying, do you agree with the policies, the way they're being executed?
00:03:06.540
People didn't like construction sites and farms having being basically raided.
00:03:14.940
But you do know they love the fact that they went into neighborhoods and took out thugs and criminals.
00:03:29.860
Ellis Island was built to open the door for us here.
00:03:33.720
France gave us a Statue of Liberty that said, give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuge from those far shores.
00:03:53.060
You've got to pick, you know, it's, you've got a blueberry muffin and you've got to pack, find the bad blueberries and it's not a pretty thing.
00:04:01.780
And so people are responding right now that says, I didn't like raids on farms.
00:04:10.300
And it's a, but he's staying with high approval ratings on plucking out the negative people.
00:04:18.280
You can take polls and take and put them side by side and create the narrative you want.
00:04:24.040
And what they're saying is, you know, 70 percent or 62 percent people think immigration is good for the country.
00:04:32.360
If you ask me, I think immigration has been great for the country.
00:04:37.880
Did you guys see Bill Maher with this actor, John Leguizamo?
00:04:56.680
Okay, so there is an exchange here and I love the way Bill explains it.
00:05:04.200
This guy, despite, by the name of Leguizamo, hates Trump.
00:05:12.100
Part of this is a backlash to how badly Biden handled the immigration situation.
00:05:17.900
It can't just be, like, come one, come all, which it was.
00:05:29.720
It's about resources and about, like, having a...
00:05:38.020
I mean, they've done surveys and something like 200 million people around the world
00:05:55.840
And it's usually because of America, what America's done, especially in Latin America,
00:05:59.980
has beat up every democracy that was burgeoning in Latin America.
00:06:03.160
They destroyed it to keep their oil or their resources or bauxite or bananas.
00:06:08.040
Like, if you don't really have rights, like, as far as, like, women's rights in most majority
00:06:16.560
Muslim countries, women just don't have close to the rights we have here.
00:06:22.580
But if you are in a country where there's just extreme poverty, which a lot of countries
00:06:28.840
have, or if there's, like, the kind of corruption, and we have corruption here, of course, but
00:06:35.080
Well, we have extra new corruption with the mean coin.
00:06:45.100
But there's a reason why people want to come here, because it's still better.
00:06:47.680
But I've got to tell you, I mean, immigrants...
00:06:48.740
I mean, if you live in a country where you can take a chicken on a bus, that was always
00:06:53.640
I think I have the right to call that a shithole country.
00:07:01.940
You had the misfortune of being born there, and I get it why you would want to move here.
00:07:06.880
But the thing is that the immigrants that are coming here are building the country.
00:07:16.380
They're doing all your construction, painting, plumbing.
00:07:19.500
Raising all your food, cooking all your food, serving all your food.
00:07:26.140
We do all the work that nobody wants to do and keeps the country going.
00:07:31.580
I mean, immigrants are the life source of this country.
00:07:40.180
But what most Americans, I think, sensible, middle of the road people would say is, yes,
00:07:44.840
of course, we are an immigrant, welcoming country, but there has to be some order to it.
00:08:04.800
Can you type in, how big is John Leguizamo's house?
00:08:11.420
I want to know how many square feet his house is.
00:08:16.240
He lives in a 3,136 square foot house, okay, that he bought for $6 million and it's worth
00:08:29.360
And he's got another place that's 2,600 square feet, four bedroom, three bath on roughly
00:08:36.860
And then he's got a Venice house and a couple other things.
00:08:43.540
I mean, listen, John, you have enough room, bro.
00:08:46.520
You have a total of 10,000 square feet of places for people to live.
00:08:51.520
You should allow 50 people to live in your place.
00:08:54.040
Now, when I was in the army, I mean, look, my barracks, they were maybe 300 square feet.
00:09:01.160
So if we can fit, you know, one person per 300,000, I would say you can fit two people
00:09:07.600
He should be okay with 20 people moving into his house.
00:09:14.560
I think if he allows for 20 homeless people or illegal immigrants to live with him, maybe
00:09:24.720
And if he just said, maybe they could do some drywall and watch his kids.
00:09:31.200
I mean, it's a very good idea, but I say we start off with Benny.
00:09:36.680
Okay, let's start off with him and open up the house.
00:09:50.340
And he's welcoming illegal immigrants in his house.
00:09:53.220
I say we allow some of the illegals that are coming.
00:10:00.240
Take John to the border and say, John, we pick 19 people to move into your place.
00:10:26.460
So if they want to cook a goat in the kitchen, you don't like the smell, that's okay.
00:10:37.460
By the way, so he's, by the way, it's impossible unless something, he can't be physically at
00:10:50.020
Do you think he's ever donated to anything to, I've never seen a cause for Colombia.
00:11:07.800
I would be so shocked if a sensible, gentle, sensitive, kind, giving, gracious, extremely,
00:11:17.440
you know, patriotic, yet at the same time open borders would be willing to allow 19 people
00:11:26.360
And you guys are being nonsense critics to doubt the fact that he would ever allow something
00:11:33.580
I was just inconceivable that he's a limousine liberal that would not do any of it.
00:11:41.960
No, I'm talking about Benny Blanco from the Bronx.
00:11:44.400
I would never say he's a limousine liberal with a misspelled t-shirt.
00:11:48.960
Listen, guys, on behalf of the people that live in Miami, I have taken in several Venezuelan,
00:11:56.920
Colombian, Salvadorian, big booty Latinas, just in case they needed a place to stay.
00:12:12.080
But the reality is, and I appreciate what you're doing, PBD, you're exposing his hypocrisy.
00:12:16.520
I was, over the weekend, there was a guy that was doing a, sort of a man on the street in
00:12:21.040
London, and they were talking about open borders, let everybody stay.
00:12:24.740
In this case, it was maybe Muslims or Pakistanis, whatever it was.
00:12:29.560
He's like, well, would you let them stay in your house?
00:12:32.560
And to watch, well, you know, I have four roommates right now, and I really can't.
00:12:45.080
And every single one of them was like, I'm terribly sorry.
00:13:01.800
It's the same people that were like, bring up open border.
00:13:14.060
They wanted more cops in Beverly Hills, which has its own police force.
00:13:18.960
But I think you mentioned, I think, Ellis Island earlier.
00:13:23.240
You know, the place that was specifically built so that immigrants could be processed here
00:13:31.700
So my great-grandparents came through Ellis Island.
00:13:42.360
I'm giving like, remember, my daughter at 9 years old, she's being recruited already.
00:13:45.700
But I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
00:13:50.640
What he's discounting is what I would call the immigrant's journey.
00:13:54.200
Every single one of our first-generation parents or grandparents had to pay the price
00:13:59.020
and sacrifice, your father worked at a 99-cent store in Englewood.
00:14:09.080
So every single first-generation immigrant doesn't speak that language.
00:14:15.200
But their kids will be better off, and their grandkids will be better off.
00:14:26.720
All our grandparents are about to pay the price.
00:14:29.860
And to act like someone is special because they came more recent
00:14:34.260
and didn't have to go through the proper legal protocols to become a citizen,
00:14:42.420
the loudest, most annoyed people are the Latinos who went through the immigration process
00:14:54.940
But you know what, I don't think you fully have an understanding of what they went through
00:15:03.740
And I don't think you have the right to comment on this.
00:15:08.180
Well, a lot of people don't think I'm white because I'm Jewish.
00:15:10.180
If you watch this clip, watch this here, Mr. White Man.
00:15:13.780
Also, I want to respond to you saying that I was hyperbolic when I talked about a reign of terror.
00:15:18.920
No, it might be hyperbolic for you as a white man.
00:15:22.540
It's certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino.
00:15:30.300
I am telling you that what Latino, the Latino community, the brown community in America.
00:15:46.760
Do you think Latinos are living under circumstances that other people are not?
00:15:55.420
We have a whole conversation about that very thing.
00:15:57.980
But I just want to make a point that, Brad, all she's saying is that her view of the situation
00:16:13.160
What the hell was that stupid white guy thinking by talking?
00:16:19.180
Abby, Abby, slagrant Caitlin Clark over the opening.
00:16:27.120
The future looks bright hats that are the ones that never stay on the shelves.
00:16:33.200
And you guys ask for more of this style is the future looks bright where the phrase is
00:16:42.920
When you see these letters coming out, they don't stay a long time.
00:16:45.260
And these new ones that we have, the black is a black is a navy blue and white typography.
00:16:53.280
They're not numbered, but we didn't order a big supply of them.
00:17:04.640
When you look at this on the inside of it, Rob, if you can show what that looks like.
00:17:10.960
And then we have another one that's the gray and future looks bright with American flag.
00:17:14.860
And then obviously those of you that the community that is just obsessed with the black on black
00:17:20.320
This is the black on black on black future looks bright.
00:17:31.380
The black on black on black is absolutely sick.
00:17:35.180
So if you're someone that hasn't yet gotten the future looks bright with the phrase on
00:17:50.820
We are over 300,000 people now representing future looks bright worldwide.
00:17:57.960
And we're 700,000 away from crossing a million.
