00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.480 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.180 Welcome, it is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you,
00:00:08.880 and I cannot believe I'm starting this podcast, Senator, by saying this.
00:00:13.940 Bill Clinton told the truth, and now liberals are mad at him for telling the truth,
00:00:21.080 admitting that a Democrat policy is not making us safer.
00:00:26.900 Well, you're absolutely right.
00:00:28.200 This is another sentence that I don't say often.
00:00:30.460 Bill Clinton is 100% correct.
00:00:33.160 He admitted the disastrous consequences of Kamala Harris's open borders.
00:00:37.640 We're going to break down what he said and exactly how true it is.
00:00:41.640 There's also yet another migrant caravan heading north through Mexico.
00:00:47.300 They're trying to get here before Donald Trump becomes president.
00:00:50.040 We're going to break down the facts on that as well.
00:00:52.200 And what is the Department of Justice doing right now?
00:00:54.860 Are they trying to stop human traffickers?
00:00:56.920 No.
00:00:57.260 Are they trying to stop sex traffickers?
00:00:59.060 No.
00:00:59.540 Are they trying to stop drug traffickers?
00:01:01.580 No.
00:01:02.120 They are suing the state of Virginia.
00:01:04.100 Why?
00:01:04.520 Because Virginia is removing illegal immigrants from their voter rolls.
00:01:07.940 We're going to walk through that as well.
00:01:09.880 Yeah, it's very interesting, especially in that case and what it means for the rest of the country.
00:01:13.680 So a lot of voters are going to care about that.
00:01:15.380 And as you mentioned, we're going to give you those details.
00:01:17.840 I want to tell you real quick about Patriot Mobile.
00:01:19.480 If you've got a cell phone, and 99% of you do, you may not realize that when you pay your bill every month to Big Mobile, you're actually supporting hardcore leftist causes that are fighting against your traditional family values.
00:01:32.360 That's where Patriot Mobile comes in.
00:01:34.500 They are the only conservative Christian wireless provider in the country.
00:01:38.920 And back in the day, you had to worry about coverage, right?
00:01:42.420 Switching from one company to another.
00:01:44.220 Am I going to have the same coverage?
00:01:45.560 Am I going to get decent coverage?
00:01:47.120 All that has disappeared in 2024.
00:01:49.960 They all use the same towers.
00:01:51.600 They all use the same networks now.
00:01:53.320 And the best part is when you switch to Patriot Mobile, they take about 5% of your bill every month, and they give it back to conservative causes that put America first.
00:02:03.580 Yeah, every time you make a phone call, every time you send a text, and every time you pay that bill, you know you're standing up for what you believe in.
00:02:11.640 Big Mobile, they give those big donations to the left, including organizations that pay for abortions.
00:02:16.760 They're helping support liberal candidates running right now.
00:02:19.660 So make the switch and stand with your values with a company that stands with you.
00:02:25.480 PatriotMobile.com slash verdict is the website.
00:02:28.940 PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.
00:02:30.820 How easy is switching?
00:02:31.820 You do it over the phone.
00:02:33.580 And they have a coverage guarantee.
00:02:35.500 Plus, you keep your same number you have now, keep your same phone, or upgrade to a new one.
00:02:39.380 And you'll get a free month of service as well when you use the offer code VERDICT.

00:02:50.780 That's promo code VERDICT.
00:02:52.720 So, Senator, this happened, and this was obviously not something with Bill Clinton that the Democrats were hoping he would say or wanting him to say.
00:03:00.580 This was clearly an oops moment where he told the truth.
00:03:06.160 And that's why people are mad at him, that if illegal immigrants had been vetted properly, then people wouldn't be dying, specifically Lake and Riley, which we've talked about extensively on this show.
00:03:20.740 So, I actually think it's a pretty brave moment for Bill Clinton to buck his party.
00:03:24.980 Well, it is.
00:03:25.760 But let's play the clip, and then we're going to break down exactly what he said and why he said it.
00:03:29.340 You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you?
00:03:32.200 They made an ad about a young woman who's been killed by an immigrant.
00:03:37.840 Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
00:03:41.960 But if they'd all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up.
00:03:51.020 So, we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work, there wouldn't be a problem.
00:03:57.740 And he couldn't keep people all torn up and upset.
00:04:01.220 Senator, I knew someone had to take Joe Biden's place with a microphone next as the Democrat that kind of just goes off script.
00:04:08.040 I didn't know it was going to be Bill Clinton so quickly, but here we are.
00:04:11.960 He's got his Harris Waltz hat on, and he's telling truths like he's helping them, and it's actually hurting them.
00:04:18.020 Well, let me say a couple of things.
00:04:19.460 One, Bill Clinton's absolutely right, that if the immigrants at the border had been properly vetted,
00:04:25.400 in other words, if they'd come in legally, and we knew who they were, and we could do criminal background checks,
00:04:29.660 and we could not let in murderers, and we could not let in rapists, and we could not let in child molesters,
00:04:33.380 and we could not let in gang members, and we could not let in terrorists.
00:04:37.440 If the immigrants coming in had been properly vetted, Lake and Riley would still be alive.
00:04:41.540 And by the way, let me elaborate.
00:04:44.060 Rachel Morin would still be alive.
00:04:45.660 Jocelyn Nungary would still be alive.
00:04:48.100 If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and congressional Democrats had not opened up our border
00:04:53.140 to now nearly 12 million illegal immigrants to an invasion where they have no idea who's coming in,
00:04:59.940 they've opened it up for every criminal who wants to come to America to come in.
00:05:03.600 And by the way, in particular, we are seeing countries like Venezuela, Maduro,
00:05:09.660 very deliberately emptying the jail, sending murderers here, getting rid of every bad guy he can find in his country,
00:05:15.880 saying, go to America, go kill Americans.
00:05:17.980 So what Bill Clinton said was absolutely correct.
00:05:22.400 But there's the old line that a gaffe is when a politician accidentally speaks the truth.
00:05:27.720 Everyone knows what Bill Clinton said is right.
00:05:32.140 Even Kamala Harris knows what he said is right.
00:05:34.800 She just can't admit it because she's claiming, okay, alternately, at times she says the border is secure.
00:05:40.660 At other times she says it's not secure, but I'm going to make it secure by doing the same thing
00:05:45.940 that I've been doing for the last four years as borders are that caused this crisis.
00:05:49.700 But let me say a second point about Bill Clinton.
00:05:55.300 Bill Clinton would not be welcomed in the Democrat Party of today.
00:06:00.080 Listen, Bill Clinton, I wasn't a huge fan.
00:06:02.740 I wasn't a huge fan of his when he was president, but he was comparatively speaking a moderate Democrat.
00:06:10.600 And understand the time period.
00:06:12.880 You know, people ask me sometimes, they say, okay, Ted,
00:06:15.520 how do we change this world we're in where the Democrats are so radical, so extreme,
00:06:21.880 they're embracing things like open borders, they're embracing things like defund the police,
00:06:26.700 they're embracing things like they don't know what a woman is, and boys and girls sports,
00:06:31.840 and all sorts of things that even a few years ago would have been viewed as nutty.
00:06:36.260 And I think the only answer is that they got to have a thumpin'.
00:06:41.980 I don't know if you remember that phrase, thumpin'.
00:06:43.900 That actually is a quote from George W. Bush after 2006,
00:06:48.160 after the Republicans got clobbered and Bush did a press conference and said,
00:06:52.140 we had a thumpin'.
00:06:53.520 And actually, Rahm Emanuel wrote a book called Thumpin' because it was a bad thumpin'.
00:06:58.460 Look, if you look back at the Democrats in the 80s and 90s,
00:07:03.080 in the 80s and 90s,
00:07:05.340 we elected Ronald Reagan,
00:07:07.640 then Ronald Reagan,
00:07:08.680 then George Herbert Walker Bush.
00:07:10.020 Republicans won the presidency for 12 consecutive years.
00:07:13.000 And the Democrats in that period,
00:07:14.900 they nominated Jimmy Carter,
00:07:16.860 then they nominated Walter Mondale,
00:07:18.840 who was even more liberal,
00:07:20.160 then they nominated Michael Dukakis,
00:07:21.860 who was even more liberal.
00:07:23.140 And after 12 years of getting a thumpin',
00:07:26.060 getting clobbered at the polls,
00:07:27.700 not just losing,
00:07:28.540 but losing badly,
00:07:29.740 in 1984,
00:07:31.220 all right,
00:07:31.520 Ben,
00:07:31.780 you know this,
00:07:32.440 but many of our listeners might not.
00:07:34.780 How many states did Reagan win in 1984?
00:07:37.780 Oh, gosh,
00:07:38.400 it was a ton.
00:07:39.160 And it was,
00:07:39.840 I mean,
00:07:40.060 it was impressive.
00:07:41.740 49.
00:07:43.300 49.
00:07:45.200 He won every state but Minnesota,
00:07:48.060 and he almost won Minnesota,
00:07:49.600 which was Mondale's home state.
00:07:51.060 He won Massachusetts,
00:07:52.360 he won New York,
00:07:53.160 he won California.
00:07:54.300 Like,
00:07:54.620 every blue state in the country voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984.
00:07:57.940 So,
00:07:58.880 after the Democrats got clobbered in 80,
00:08:01.040 and got clobbered in 84,
00:08:02.160 and got clobbered in 88,
00:08:04.160 they did a rethinking.
00:08:06.440 They said,
00:08:06.860 okay,
00:08:07.440 nominating hardcore lefties is not working,
00:08:10.020 and we're getting killed.
00:08:11.180 And so what did they do?
00:08:12.180 They picked this moderate Democrat governor from Arkansas,
00:08:16.740 and Bill Clinton was head of the DLC,
00:08:18.900 the Democrat Leadership Coalition,
00:08:20.080 which was explicitly formed as a centrist organization,
00:08:24.460 as a group of Democrats rejecting the crazy left.
00:08:29.380 And the views of Bill Clinton,
00:08:31.760 he would be driven out.
00:08:33.580 There is not a single senator in the U.S. Senate,
00:08:37.340 certainly not after next year,
00:08:38.680 after Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema leave,
00:08:40.820 there's not a single Democrat senator
00:08:42.640 whose views are even remotely close to Bill Clinton.
00:08:45.380 He would be unrecognizable in today's Democrat party.
00:08:49.460 So when he's looking at,
00:08:51.260 you know,
00:08:51.520 but when Bill Clinton was president,
00:08:52.880 he didn't open the borders
00:08:54.280 and just allow murderers and rapists to flood in.
00:08:57.380 And so he said something publicly
00:08:59.460 that any rational person knows,
00:09:03.760 but in today's hyper-politicized left-wing Democrat party,
00:09:08.340 it's considered verboten to say it out loud.
00:09:11.120 There's also something else
00:09:12.660 that I think is very interesting,
00:09:14.060 and that is when you hear him say this,
00:09:17.540 you could actually hear people in the crowd
00:09:19.760 agreeing with him.
00:09:22.760 And I think that also tells you
00:09:24.940 that there are still a lot of people.
00:09:26.720 Ben, everyone knows this.
00:09:28.640 Everyone knows this.
00:09:31.560 That's part of the weird vacation from history we're in.
00:09:35.500 Even the zealots know this is true.
00:09:38.320 They just don't care.
00:09:39.800 But of course the crowd agreed.
00:09:41.660 Everyone knows.
00:09:43.420 Should we have let in psychopathic murderers
00:09:46.440 who rape and murder women?
00:09:48.100 No.
00:09:49.320 But Kamala Harris is not willing to change.
00:09:52.440 The congressional Democrats are not willing to change.
00:09:55.400 No, they're not.
00:09:56.400 And that's one of the things I wonder about this election.
00:09:59.580 This border issue,
00:10:01.300 and I'm talking specifically about the threats to people,
00:10:05.720 I actually think this is becoming a bigger issue
00:10:08.160 in the last 25 days
00:10:09.740 than anyone thought 30 or 40 or 50 days ago.
00:10:13.160 I think a lot of people in the media thought
00:10:15.200 and a lot of Democrats thought
00:10:16.620 this isn't going to be that big of an issue.
00:10:20.200 It is.
00:10:20.880 And I think voters care about it coast to coast
00:10:23.240 more than they realize.
00:10:24.580 I think the Democrats underestimated
00:10:26.500 the damage they had done
00:10:27.960 to the American people
00:10:30.200 by allowing 10, 15, 20 million illegal immigrants
00:10:33.100 and especially the reporting
00:10:34.740 that we've talked about here,
00:10:36.300 that they knowingly let in
00:10:38.160 convicted child molesters,
00:10:40.160 child rapists, rapists,
00:10:41.540 sexual abusers and convicted murderers.
00:10:45.320 Oh, and that doesn't even count
00:10:47.000 all the other people
00:10:48.160 that were convicted of other crimes
00:10:49.500 that aren't on those two horrific lists
00:10:51.440 that I just mentioned.
00:10:52.420 I think this may be something
00:10:54.380 that costs them real elections
00:10:56.180 across the country.
00:10:58.000 13,000.
00:10:59.580 That's a number every person should know.
00:11:01.820 13,000 is the number of convicted murderers,
00:11:04.700 people with homicide convictions,
00:11:06.500 who are illegal aliens,
00:11:07.860 who are currently free
00:11:09.960 and wandering around America
00:11:11.520 and Kamala Harris refuses to arrest
00:11:13.720 and deport.
00:11:15.840 That number should be zero.
00:11:17.920 By the way, there are another 2,000
00:11:19.540 who are illegal immigrants
00:11:21.200 who are facing current homicide charges.
00:11:24.560 In other words,
00:11:25.020 they're currently being prosecuted for murder.
00:11:26.780 And understand,
00:11:27.640 the fact that they haven't been convicted
00:11:29.200 yet of murder,
00:11:30.420 with an illegal immigrant,
00:11:32.200 they have no entitlement
00:11:33.120 to be free at all.
00:11:33.920 In other words,
00:11:34.380 the federal government
00:11:35.100 could go arrest them
00:11:36.380 and detain them right now
00:11:37.700 this instant under federal law.
00:11:39.780 Give me any rational reason
00:11:41.780 why any of those 2,000 illegal immigrants
00:11:44.340 who are currently being prosecuted
00:11:45.740 for murder
00:11:46.180 should be allowed to go free.
00:11:47.760 How many more people
00:11:48.800 are they killing
00:11:49.660 while they're free?
00:11:51.000 And I have yet to see
00:11:52.220 a single reporter
00:11:53.160 ask Kamala Harris,
00:11:54.320 why don't you arrest
00:11:55.060 the 13,000 murderers right now?
00:11:56.820 Why don't you arrest
00:11:57.580 the 2,000 alleged murderers,
00:12:00.240 charged murderers right now?
00:12:01.320 By the way, 15,000.
00:12:02.720 Here's another stat.
00:12:03.480 That's the number
00:12:04.840 of convicted rapists
00:12:06.440 who are illegal immigrants
00:12:08.400 who are free
00:12:09.140 and wandering around
00:12:10.260 and Kamala Harris
00:12:11.460 will not arrest.
00:12:13.640 Those are issues where,
00:12:15.820 look,
00:12:16.160 I don't care
00:12:16.940 if you're right or left,
00:12:18.200 maybe you're middle of the road,
00:12:19.320 maybe you're apolitical,
00:12:20.920 I don't know a rational
00:12:22.340 and reasonable American
00:12:23.500 who says,
00:12:24.220 gosh,
00:12:24.540 what do you think
00:12:25.260 of the federal government
00:12:26.140 allowing murderers
00:12:27.240 and rapists
00:12:27.760 who are illegal immigrants
00:12:28.640 to wander into your neighborhood
00:12:30.420 and potentially live
00:12:31.260 next door to you?
00:12:31.900 Everyone says,
00:12:33.140 hell no,
00:12:34.740 which is why
00:12:35.420 when Bill Clinton
00:12:36.240 says the obvious,
00:12:37.740 you get gasps
00:12:39.120 from elected Democrats,
00:12:41.260 from the Kamala Harris campaign,
00:12:43.200 from the media,
00:12:44.800 because the media,
00:12:45.740 they don't report
00:12:46.260 on facts anymore.
00:12:47.220 Instead,
00:12:47.580 they're the propagandists
00:12:48.520 for the Democrat Party.
00:12:49.960 And so saying
00:12:50.580 what Bill Clinton said,
00:12:52.000 the thing to understand,
00:12:53.740 look,
00:12:54.040 there's a joke
00:12:54.960 I tell on the campaign trail.
00:12:56.240 You've heard me tell this.
00:12:58.000 I say,
00:12:58.960 listen,
00:12:59.500 the Democrats
00:13:00.880 who are saying
00:13:01.880 this nonsense,
00:13:03.540 they all know
00:13:05.860 they're lying,
00:13:06.640 100% of them.
00:13:08.720 And what I say
00:13:10.040 at a campaign rally is,
00:13:12.020 all right,
00:13:12.460 I can prove to you
00:13:13.480 right now
00:13:13.980 that Joe Biden
00:13:16.000 knows what a woman is.
00:13:19.460 And people kind of pause
00:13:20.760 and they sort of
00:13:21.240 raise an eyebrow
00:13:21.860 and they're like,
00:13:22.300 all right,
00:13:22.420 what's he going to say?
00:13:23.040 And I say,
00:13:23.480 look,
00:13:24.480 Joe Biden only
00:13:26.200 sniffs the hair
00:13:28.200 of girls.
00:13:29.800 I've been in the Senate
00:13:30.900 12 years.
00:13:31.840 I have never once
00:13:33.080 seen Joe Biden
00:13:34.060 come up to Chuck Schumer
00:13:35.500 and sniff his hair.
00:13:36.420 He knows.
00:13:37.780 And you know what,
00:13:39.040 Ben?
00:13:40.100 I'm even more certain
00:13:41.520 Bill Clinton
00:13:43.320 knows what a woman is.
00:13:44.660 If there's one thing
00:13:45.880 Bill Clinton knows,
00:13:46.780 it's that.
00:13:47.820 And at this point,
00:13:49.100 it's true on the bizarre,
00:13:51.340 yes,
00:13:51.620 it's true on the bizarre.
00:13:53.560 We don't know
00:13:54.000 what a woman is.
00:13:54.820 We don't know
00:13:55.340 what a mother is.
00:13:56.960 But it's also true
00:13:58.460 on this open border insanity
00:14:00.360 that they get
00:14:02.400 that releasing
00:14:03.940 thousands upon thousands
00:14:05.880 of murderers
00:14:06.440 and rapists
00:14:06.880 into this country
00:14:07.460 is really bad.
00:14:09.120 But they all
00:14:10.580 just make the decision
00:14:11.720 we want votes
00:14:12.840 more than we care
00:14:13.680 about keeping people alive.
00:14:15.640 And you know what?
00:14:16.220 I don't like saying that.
00:14:17.480 When I say that,
00:14:18.600 to my ears,
00:14:20.200 that sounds really harsh
00:14:21.600 and partisan.
00:14:22.640 But let me ask you,
00:14:23.360 Ben, seriously,
00:14:24.480 give me another justification.
00:14:26.060 If it's not,
00:14:27.940 we want votes
00:14:28.700 to stay in power.
00:14:29.640 Give me any other
00:14:30.700 plausible justification
00:14:31.800 for why Kamala Harris
00:14:33.220 wouldn't arrest
00:14:34.240 the 13,000 convicted
00:14:35.600 murderers right now.
00:14:37.220 Yeah, you know,
00:14:37.700 it's 100% a game
00:14:39.400 that they're playing
00:14:40.140 and they understand
00:14:41.060 the long game,
00:14:41.880 which is amnesty
00:14:42.640 is everything
00:14:43.300 and they can fundamentally
00:14:44.320 change America
00:14:45.280 if they can just do it.
00:14:47.500 And they're just trying
00:14:48.300 to lie to the American people
00:14:49.380 in the last couple of weeks
00:14:50.520 before Election Day
00:14:51.660 hoping that they can
00:14:53.160 convince them,
00:14:53.960 oh, no, no,
00:14:54.380 we're getting tough
00:14:55.040 on the border now,
00:14:55.920 even though we're the ones
00:14:56.860 that open it up.
00:14:58.200 And it was the first thing
00:14:59.180 we did when you elected us
00:15:00.660 to be in charge
00:15:01.500 of this country.
00:15:02.420 When Donald Trump
00:15:03.440 was out of here,
00:15:04.760 this is what we did.
00:15:06.820 Let me tell you real quick
00:15:07.640 about the best cup of coffee
00:15:08.980 you can have every morning
00:15:10.520 if you switch
00:15:11.580 to blackout coffee.
00:15:12.900 Blackout coffee
00:15:13.720 gets rid
00:15:14.500 of the woke coffee beans
00:15:16.080 that you're probably
00:15:16.740 brewing every morning
00:15:18.340 and you get
00:15:19.440 an America first
00:15:20.640 cup of coffee
00:15:21.400 without the woke agenda
00:15:22.440 to the left.
00:15:22.940 Now in the coffee space,
00:15:24.320 there are a lot
00:15:25.360 of liberal woke companies
00:15:27.040 in coffee
00:15:27.860 and that's exactly
00:15:29.120 why blackout coffee
00:15:30.300 was created.
00:15:31.660 The founders said
00:15:32.580 we're tired
00:15:33.160 of giving our money
00:15:33.960 to companies
00:15:34.660 that fight against us
00:15:36.020 and not only that,
00:15:37.260 they were sick and tired
00:15:38.060 of getting an average
00:15:38.760 cup of coffee.
00:15:39.580 They said,
00:15:39.980 what if we could
00:15:40.440 do something amazing?
00:15:41.760 What if we could
00:15:42.200 get rid of the woke coffee
00:15:43.300 and give a premium
00:15:44.780 cup of coffee
00:15:45.500 to people every day?
00:15:46.540 Well, that's why
00:15:47.200 I drink blackout coffee.
00:15:49.220 It's 100% America,
00:15:50.440 0% woke.
00:15:52.060 Blackout coffee
00:15:52.860 is committed
00:15:53.380 to conservative values
00:15:54.580 from the sourcing
00:15:55.620 of the beans
00:15:56.100 to the roasting process,
00:15:57.540 customer support
00:15:58.320 and shipping.
00:15:59.380 They embody
00:16:00.100 true American values
00:16:01.380 and they accept
00:16:02.100 no compromise
00:16:03.600 on taste or quality.
00:16:05.280 Well, Xander and I
00:16:06.040 do this show
00:16:06.760 late at night
00:16:07.520 and yeah,
00:16:08.360 I get up early
00:16:08.920 in the morning
00:16:09.200 to do a show
00:16:09.600 at 7 a.m.
00:16:10.280 I gotta have
00:16:10.900 a great cup of coffee
00:16:11.960 and blackout coffee
00:16:13.500 is what I brew
00:16:14.660 every morning.
00:16:16.060 Now, try it
00:16:17.040 because once you do,
00:16:17.920 you're not switching
00:16:18.580 back to what you're

00:16:41.640 Senator,
00:16:42.520 we were talking
00:16:43.260 about this
00:16:43.960 bait and switch
00:16:45.140 that has taken
00:16:46.400 place and
00:16:47.240 we've seen this
00:16:48.300 from the VP
00:16:49.000 candidate.
00:16:49.600 We've seen this
00:16:50.160 from Harris.
00:16:51.200 They're like,
00:16:51.520 well,
00:16:51.660 the numbers are
00:16:52.280 down and things
00:16:53.600 are moving in the
00:16:54.260 right direction
00:16:54.780 at the border
00:16:55.380 and then we
00:16:56.660 told the story.
00:16:57.940 We know that
00:16:58.440 the Biden
00:16:58.860 administration
00:16:59.380 made a deal
00:16:59.960 with Mexico
00:17:00.720 and they started
00:17:01.380 moving people
00:17:02.160 away from the
00:17:02.880 border temporarily.
00:17:04.480 They started,
00:17:05.500 you know,
00:17:06.080 trying to make
00:17:06.700 the numbers
00:17:07.140 come down in
00:17:07.800 August and
00:17:08.500 September to say,
00:17:09.380 look,
00:17:09.700 it's all good
00:17:10.340 news.
00:17:11.400 But we also
00:17:12.120 are getting
00:17:12.540 reporting of
00:17:13.620 new migrant
00:17:14.380 caravans,
00:17:15.560 plural,
00:17:16.560 that are headed
00:17:17.360 north trying
00:17:18.600 to,
00:17:19.400 quote,
00:17:19.620 beat the
00:17:20.800 possible arrival
00:17:22.260 of a Trump
00:17:23.080 administration
00:17:23.840 and they are
00:17:25.240 growing in
00:17:26.020 numbers rapidly.
00:17:27.940 Well,
00:17:28.660 the human
00:17:29.140 traffickers are
00:17:30.220 looking at the
00:17:30.840 same polling
00:17:31.440 numbers that the
00:17:32.160 Kamala Harris
00:17:32.700 campaign is
00:17:33.320 looking at.
00:17:34.140 They are
00:17:34.980 recognizing that
00:17:35.940 the swing states
00:17:36.740 are all moving
00:17:37.460 towards Trump.
00:17:38.220 They're all
00:17:38.500 getting redder.
00:17:39.380 That the
00:17:39.860 chances of
00:17:40.440 Trump winning
00:17:41.040 are rising
00:17:42.000 every single
00:17:42.600 day and
00:17:43.240 they're starting
00:17:44.180 to panic
00:17:44.640 because they
00:17:45.180 realize if
00:17:46.420 Donald Trump
00:17:47.040 is reelected
00:17:48.240 president,
00:17:49.120 if we have
00:17:49.460 a Republican
00:17:49.900 Senate,
00:17:50.360 if we have
00:17:50.600 a Republican
00:17:51.020 House,
00:17:51.640 we will secure
00:17:52.460 the border and
00:17:53.020 we will do it
00:17:53.580 in January and
00:17:54.380 February of next
00:17:55.200 year.
00:17:55.440 It will be
00:17:55.920 secure.
00:17:56.500 So they're
00:17:57.160 panicking.
00:17:57.820 So here's a
00:17:58.280 brand new
00:17:58.700 story from
00:17:59.180 Breitbart that
00:18:00.760 says,
00:18:01.260 quote,
00:18:01.780 a new migrant
00:18:02.480 caravan of
00:18:03.120 approximately
00:18:03.600 1,000 migrants
00:18:04.900 departed from
00:18:05.640 Mexico's southern
00:18:06.420 border this
00:18:07.100 weekend to make
00:18:08.700 its way to
00:18:09.280 Mexico City.
00:18:10.560 From there,
00:18:11.640 the group is
00:18:12.180 expected to
00:18:12.760 disperse and
00:18:13.480 find various
00:18:14.120 ways to reach
00:18:14.880 the U.S.
00:18:15.380 border.
00:18:16.180 The caravan is
00:18:17.340 the second to
00:18:18.200 start in Mexico
00:18:19.040 since October 1st,
00:18:20.560 when the country's
00:18:21.440 new president,
00:18:22.240 Claudia Scheinbaum,
00:18:23.240 took office.
00:18:24.380 The caravan began
00:18:25.780 early Sunday
00:18:26.480 morning in
00:18:27.760 Tapachula,
00:18:28.560 Chiapas,
00:18:29.540 and has been
00:18:30.440 officially named,
00:18:31.760 quote,
00:18:32.040 God is guiding
00:18:33.780 us.
00:18:35.060 The caravan
00:18:35.680 comprises
00:18:36.280 approximately
00:18:36.980 1,000 migrants
00:18:38.160 from Venezuela,
00:18:40.040 Colombia,
00:18:41.100 Ecuador,
00:18:41.940 Peru,
00:18:42.960 Haiti,
00:18:43.820 Panama,
00:18:44.640 and Costa Rica,
00:18:45.680 as well as
00:18:46.560 some migrants
00:18:47.260 from Afghanistan
00:18:48.080 and Nepal.
00:18:49.520 The group
00:18:50.340 plans to make
00:18:51.240 its way to
00:18:51.740 Mexico City
00:18:52.460 with the
00:18:52.840 ultimate goal
00:18:53.460 being the
00:18:53.900 U.S.
00:18:54.260 border.
00:18:55.520 The migrants
00:18:56.120 who make up
00:18:56.880 the caravan
00:18:57.480 have received
00:18:58.680 legal status
00:18:59.880 in Mexico
00:19:00.580 and were
00:19:01.720 in the
00:19:01.960 process of
00:19:02.680 waiting in
00:19:03.180 Chiapas for
00:19:03.880 an appointment
00:19:04.400 for the
00:19:04.800 Biden-Harris
00:19:05.940 administration's
00:19:07.280 CBP-1
00:19:08.140 application.
00:19:09.700 However,
00:19:10.800 the group's
00:19:11.360 organizers got
00:19:12.220 tired of the
00:19:12.960 long wait times.
00:19:13.820 By the way,
00:19:14.200 the wait times
00:19:14.720 are designed
00:19:15.180 to be just
00:19:15.660 long enough
00:19:16.080 to get after
00:19:16.580 Election Day.
00:19:17.540 That's me
00:19:18.060 cynically
00:19:18.540 observing exactly
00:19:19.780 what they're
00:19:20.260 doing.
00:19:20.980 Let me go
00:19:21.300 back to the
00:19:21.720 article.
00:19:22.820 According to
00:19:23.360 Jonathan Rojas,
00:19:24.380 the group
00:19:24.720 fears the
00:19:25.480 rhetoric,
00:19:26.660 former U.S.
00:19:27.480 President Donald
00:19:28.120 J. Trump
00:19:28.660 voiced that he
00:19:29.300 would close
00:19:29.820 the current
00:19:30.220 immigration
00:19:30.680 pathway.
00:19:32.000 Rojas claimed
00:19:32.700 that he was
00:19:33.100 traveling due
00:19:33.840 to economic
00:19:34.380 reasons due
00:19:35.080 to the lack
00:19:35.520 of opportunities
00:19:36.200 in his
00:19:36.580 native Colombia.
00:19:38.200 There is
00:19:38.460 real concern
00:19:39.100 that if he,
00:19:39.840 Trump,
00:19:40.040 gets elected,
00:19:41.280 they will
00:19:42.220 close the
00:19:43.120 border,
00:19:43.600 Rojas said.
00:19:44.340 We can't
00:19:44.700 keep waiting
00:19:45.180 for them to
00:19:45.600 give us
00:19:45.860 an appointment.
00:19:46.980 Conditions
00:19:47.440 here in
00:19:47.840 Chiapas are
00:19:48.420 not healthy.
00:19:49.440 There are
00:19:49.680 too many
00:19:50.040 of us and
00:19:50.520 not enough
00:19:50.980 supplies and
00:19:51.680 space.
00:19:52.260 They,
00:19:52.600 the Mexican
00:19:52.940 government,
00:19:53.880 need to
00:19:54.420 help us.
00:19:55.780 According to
00:19:56.460 Venezuela's
00:19:57.180 La Verdad,
00:19:58.300 the migrants
00:19:59.020 in the
00:19:59.340 caravan claimed
00:20:00.420 that there
00:20:01.200 were food
00:20:01.640 shortages in
00:20:02.360 Chiapas and
00:20:02.960 a lack of
00:20:03.400 medical care.
00:20:04.400 The publication
00:20:05.140 also noted the
00:20:06.340 driving factor
00:20:07.140 behind the
00:20:07.580 migrants' desire
00:20:08.300 to reach the
00:20:08.800 United States
00:20:09.520 was economic
00:20:10.860 need.
00:20:11.860 Now, let me
00:20:12.360 point out,
00:20:12.900 economic need
00:20:13.720 is not a
00:20:14.940 basis for
00:20:15.500 asylum under
00:20:16.160 U.S.
00:20:16.580 law.
00:20:16.820 If, but
00:20:19.000 they are
00:20:19.720 coming, and
00:20:20.520 they are
00:20:20.820 coming because
00:20:21.520 they don't
00:20:22.060 understand.
00:20:22.300 Wait, wait, wait,
00:20:22.760 wait, wait, wait,
00:20:23.120 wait, wait, wait.
00:20:23.400 Let's say that
00:20:24.060 again because
00:20:24.880 this is something
00:20:26.300 that I think
00:20:26.900 many Americans
00:20:27.580 don't understand
00:20:28.340 about those
00:20:29.520 seeking asylum.
00:20:30.840 Yeah.
00:20:31.160 And explain that
00:20:32.620 more.
00:20:32.980 The law, what it
00:20:33.800 says, because
00:20:34.520 this is part of
00:20:35.280 the abuse by
00:20:36.020 the left, is
00:20:37.240 they make you
00:20:37.860 think that if
00:20:38.340 anyone in the
00:20:38.880 world is in
00:20:39.480 essence not
00:20:40.120 happy with
00:20:41.440 the conditions
00:20:42.720 of where
00:20:43.820 they are in
00:20:44.680 their life or
00:20:45.380 what they're
00:20:46.060 living, where
00:20:47.140 they're living or
00:20:47.840 who's in charge
00:20:48.880 of a country
00:20:49.360 that that
00:20:49.900 therefore means
00:20:51.180 they should
00:20:52.220 immediately go to
00:20:53.080 the front of
00:20:53.520 the line and
00:20:54.140 come straight
00:20:54.740 into America
00:20:55.300 and we should
00:20:55.760 take care of
00:20:56.300 them.
00:20:56.440 And you just
00:20:56.960 said something
00:20:57.320 that's really
00:20:57.640 important.
00:20:58.540 You don't just
00:20:59.180 allow people to
00:20:59.840 come into this
00:21:00.980 country because
00:21:01.480 they don't like
00:21:01.940 their quote
00:21:02.460 economic
00:21:03.000 conditions.
00:21:04.820 That's exactly
00:21:05.620 right.
00:21:06.060 What U.S.
00:21:06.680 law is, is we
00:21:07.800 have asylum, we
00:21:09.040 offer people
00:21:10.100 asylum, but to
00:21:11.560 qualify for
00:21:12.720 asylum you
00:21:13.480 have to
00:21:13.900 demonstrate a
00:21:14.760 quote credible
00:21:15.780 fear of
00:21:17.640 political
00:21:18.120 persecution.
00:21:18.720 If you're in
00:21:19.620 say a communist
00:21:20.260 country and
00:21:21.680 you can
00:21:22.140 demonstrate the
00:21:23.020 government if
00:21:23.760 they capture
00:21:24.340 you they're
00:21:24.840 going to
00:21:25.080 torture you
00:21:25.620 they're going
00:21:25.880 to kill
00:21:26.260 you, that's
00:21:27.580 typically the
00:21:28.260 kind of
00:21:28.640 kind of
00:21:29.120 showing you've
00:21:29.880 got to
00:21:30.240 demonstrate to
00:21:31.700 qualify for
00:21:32.720 asylum.
00:21:33.180 It's
00:21:33.460 explicitly
00:21:34.260 political
00:21:34.940 persecution
00:21:35.660 and one of
00:21:36.900 the reason is
00:21:37.480 look there are
00:21:38.120 seven to eight
00:21:38.700 billion people on
00:21:39.580 planet earth.
00:21:40.500 There are a
00:21:41.140 billions of
00:21:41.940 people living in
00:21:42.900 poverty.
00:21:43.660 Our nation has
00:21:44.800 about 330 million
00:21:46.060 Americans.
00:21:46.740 We don't have
00:21:47.420 the capacity, we
00:21:48.360 don't have the
00:21:48.840 ability to
00:21:49.920 provide for
00:21:50.800 billions of
00:21:51.820 people flooding
00:21:52.460 in who are
00:21:53.120 simply in
00:21:53.600 poverty and
00:21:54.160 would like to
00:21:54.680 live better,
00:21:55.540 particularly when
00:21:56.420 you combine it
00:21:57.160 with the
00:21:57.440 Democrats'
00:21:58.020 welfare state.
00:21:58.680 Because understand,
00:21:59.420 Kamala Harris
00:21:59.940 doesn't just
00:22:00.520 provide open
00:22:01.680 borders.
00:22:02.160 She says, you
00:22:02.760 get here and
00:22:03.780 we'll give you
00:22:04.260 welfare, we'll
00:22:04.920 give you free
00:22:05.400 health care, we
00:22:06.580 will give you
00:22:07.260 money.
00:22:08.480 And so,
00:22:09.060 frankly, look, I
00:22:09.920 understand why
00:22:11.020 the people come
00:22:11.620 to this country.
00:22:12.240 If you're living
00:22:12.880 in poverty and
00:22:13.700 you get to
00:22:14.060 come to America
00:22:14.840 and these
00:22:15.640 idiots in the
00:22:16.340 government are
00:22:16.860 going to give
00:22:17.220 you free
00:22:17.640 everything, why
00:22:18.540 wouldn't you
00:22:19.320 come?
00:22:20.300 But that is
00:22:21.360 not U.S.
00:22:22.200 law.
00:22:22.740 Economic need,
00:22:23.840 poverty does
00:22:24.600 not qualify for
00:22:25.980 asylum, and the
00:22:27.260 Democrats don't
00:22:28.060 care.
00:22:28.460 They're not even
00:22:28.960 pretending this
00:22:29.840 meets U.S.
00:22:30.440 law.
00:22:30.980 So what they
00:22:31.420 do, here's the
00:22:32.020 game.
00:22:33.140 You show up,
00:22:34.540 and by the way,
00:22:35.360 just about every
00:22:35.980 one of these
00:22:36.680 illegal immigrants
00:22:37.660 is trained by the
00:22:38.580 traffickers to
00:22:39.260 say, I'm
00:22:39.640 claiming asylum.
00:22:40.920 Now, the
00:22:42.320 Biden administration
00:22:43.040 knows that when
00:22:44.080 their claim is
00:22:44.640 adjudicated that
00:22:45.580 fewer than 10%
00:22:46.640 will meet the
00:22:47.760 standards for
00:22:48.620 asylum, that
00:22:49.220 almost none of
00:22:50.100 them have any
00:22:51.040 credible fear.
00:22:51.820 They're simply
00:22:52.220 poor, and they
00:22:52.820 want a better
00:22:53.200 life, and they
00:22:53.800 want handouts.
00:22:55.220 But what Joe
00:22:57.120 Biden and Kamala
00:22:57.820 Harris are doing
00:22:58.560 is they say,
00:22:59.180 okay, we'll take
00:23:00.720 you for asylum,
00:23:01.540 we'll set you a
00:23:02.180 court date, 3,
00:23:03.000 4, 5, 10
00:23:04.000 years in the
00:23:04.500 future, and in
00:23:05.480 the meantime, we'll
00:23:06.160 let you go.
00:23:06.860 Welcome to
00:23:07.280 America, and by
00:23:08.100 the way, a
00:23:09.320 bunch of them
00:23:09.820 are never seen
00:23:10.380 again.
00:23:10.700 That policy is
00:23:11.720 called catch and
00:23:12.440 release, that when
00:23:13.080 people are
00:23:13.460 apprehended, they
00:23:14.120 let them go.
00:23:15.080 By the way, how
00:23:16.360 did the murderer
00:23:17.640 who killed
00:23:18.140 Lakin Riley get
00:23:19.060 to Georgia?
00:23:19.640 Because of
00:23:20.000 catch and
00:23:20.380 release, because
00:23:21.000 Joe Biden and
00:23:21.700 Kamala Harris
00:23:22.260 apprehended him
00:23:22.920 and let him
00:23:23.280 go.
00:23:23.840 How did the
00:23:24.300 murderer who
00:23:24.800 killed Rachel
00:23:25.400 Morin get to
00:23:26.640 suburban Maryland
00:23:27.420 because of
00:23:27.840 catch and
00:23:28.220 release?
00:23:28.700 Joe Biden and
00:23:29.300 Kamala Harris
00:23:29.860 apprehended him
00:23:30.500 and let him
00:23:30.860 go.
00:23:31.440 How did the
00:23:31.940 two murderers
00:23:32.640 and rapists
00:23:33.200 who raped and
00:23:33.840 murdered Jocelyn
00:23:34.540 Nungary get to
00:23:35.240 Houston, Texas?
00:23:35.960 Because Joe
00:23:36.600 Biden and
00:23:37.520 Kamala Harris
00:23:38.300 did catch and
00:23:39.960 release, they
00:23:40.680 caught him, they
00:23:41.600 caught both of
00:23:42.180 them, they had
00:23:43.660 them in custody,
00:23:44.900 and they released
00:23:45.680 them.
00:23:46.340 There is no
00:23:47.220 credible argument
00:23:48.120 with these
00:23:49.360 criminals that
00:23:50.020 meet the
00:23:50.620 standards of
00:23:51.140 asylum, but
00:23:52.240 Kamala Harris
00:23:53.320 doesn't care.
00:23:54.820 Canadian women
00:23:55.660 are looking for
00:23:56.360 more, more
00:23:57.180 out of themselves,
00:23:58.060 their businesses,
00:23:59.000 their elected
00:23:59.420 leaders, and the
00:24:00.360 world around them.
00:24:01.160 And that's why
00:24:01.640 we're thrilled to
00:24:02.340 introduce the
00:24:03.160 Honest Talk
00:24:03.820 podcast.
00:24:04.900 I'm Jennifer
00:24:05.440 Stewart.
00:24:05.960 And I'm
00:24:06.400 Catherine Clark.
00:24:07.320 And in this
00:24:07.780 podcast, we
00:24:08.600 interview Canada's
00:24:09.440 most inspiring
00:24:10.300 women, entrepreneurs,
00:24:11.780 artists, athletes,
00:24:13.040 politicians, and
00:24:13.880 newsmakers, all at
00:24:15.040 different stages of
00:24:15.960 their journey.
00:24:16.820 So if you're looking
00:24:17.840 to connect, then we
00:24:18.860 hope you'll join us.
00:24:20.060 Listen to the
00:24:20.460 Honest Talk podcast
00:24:21.400 on iHeartRadio or
00:24:22.640 wherever you listen
00:24:23.400 to your podcasts.
00:24:25.820 You know, I think
00:24:27.080 that there's even
00:24:27.700 something else that's
00:24:28.640 just a personal
00:24:29.560 example that we've
00:24:31.820 talked about in the
00:24:32.820 past on the show.
00:24:33.760 It is the
00:24:34.980 beginning of your
00:24:35.620 last book.
00:24:37.220 Your dad was a
00:24:38.520 poster child for
00:24:40.920 someone that would
00:24:42.040 deserve and need
00:24:43.660 asylum in the U.S.
00:24:45.580 because of political
00:24:46.700 persecution, the
00:24:47.880 genuine fear of
00:24:49.040 death when he fled
00:24:50.620 Cuba.
00:24:51.480 Let's just take a
00:24:52.620 moment and let people
00:24:54.240 understand how far
00:24:55.280 that pendulum has
00:24:56.200 swung since your dad
00:24:57.960 was a political
00:24:59.160 refugee basically in
00:25:00.480 the U.S.
00:25:00.940 I think I'm
00:25:01.840 describing that
00:25:02.720 correctly.
00:25:04.100 My father was a
00:25:05.560 political refugee.
00:25:06.260 Actually, he came
00:25:07.040 initially on a
00:25:07.800 student visa.
00:25:08.820 So he was admitted
00:25:09.900 to the University of
00:25:10.860 Texas.
00:25:11.140 He came in 1957.
00:25:12.840 And so he studied
00:25:14.200 at UT.
00:25:14.960 He got a degree in
00:25:16.240 UT, graduated in
00:25:17.660 61 with a degree in
00:25:18.940 math.
00:25:19.700 And at that point,
00:25:20.920 Castro had taken
00:25:21.840 over and had begun
00:25:23.000 persecuting
00:25:24.380 dissidents.
00:25:25.020 My aunt, my
00:25:25.760 Tia Sonia, I was
00:25:26.580 with both my father
00:25:27.500 and my Tia Sonia this
00:25:28.460 evening.
00:25:29.340 My Tia Sonia fought
00:25:30.560 in the counter
00:25:31.260 revolution against
00:25:32.400 Castro.
00:25:32.980 My Tia Sonia was
00:25:34.600 in prison.
00:25:35.440 She was tortured by
00:25:36.680 Castro.
00:25:37.340 And so my family, my
00:25:39.340 father was granted
00:25:40.140 asylum status because
00:25:41.380 why?
00:25:42.060 If he came back to
00:25:42.940 Cuba, they'd murder
00:25:43.740 him.
00:25:44.480 My Tia Sonia got out
00:25:45.800 of Cuba and she was
00:25:46.660 granted asylum status
00:25:47.700 because, again, the
00:25:49.320 government, they had a
00:25:50.800 credible fear.
00:25:51.580 They met the legal
00:25:52.540 standard.
00:25:53.100 We see from communist
00:25:55.160 countries that persecute
00:25:56.540 dictators.
00:25:57.100 That's what the asylum
00:25:58.200 laws were made for, is
00:25:59.420 if you can demonstrate
00:26:00.520 if I go back to my
00:26:02.420 country, the government
00:26:03.440 will imprison me, torture
00:26:05.140 me, kill me.
00:26:06.400 That's why we have
00:26:07.480 asylum laws.
00:26:08.900 The claim was not just
00:26:10.660 I'm in poverty and I
00:26:12.020 would like to live in
00:26:12.820 America.
00:26:13.240 And the reason our laws
00:26:15.280 don't grant a special
00:26:16.380 status to that is there
00:26:18.200 are literally billions of
00:26:19.920 people that fall into
00:26:20.840 that category and we do
00:26:22.100 not have the capacity.
00:26:23.040 And I want to make a
00:26:24.440 point here, Ben, because
00:26:25.480 sometimes people on the
00:26:27.640 left say, oh, gosh, we're
00:26:28.920 just so compassionate when
00:26:30.280 it comes to immigration.
00:26:32.360 Understand there is no
00:26:33.620 country on planet Earth
00:26:34.860 that is more compassionate,
00:26:37.020 that is more generous when
00:26:38.300 it comes to immigration
00:26:39.260 than the United States of
00:26:40.340 America.
00:26:40.580 Every year we let in more
00:26:42.580 than one million legal
00:26:45.440 immigrants.
00:26:46.060 There's no other country
00:26:46.740 that's doing that.
00:26:47.380 You can't do that in
00:26:48.040 France.
00:26:48.380 You can't do that in
00:26:49.040 Britain.
00:26:49.300 You can't do that in
00:26:49.880 Australia.
00:26:50.180 You can't do that in
00:26:50.920 Japan.
00:26:51.840 Name your country.
00:26:52.840 None of them do what
00:26:53.820 America does.
00:26:54.580 So we are we welcome
00:26:56.680 immigrants, but there's a
00:26:58.900 right way to come.
00:27:00.000 You come legally.
00:27:00.900 You follow the rules.
00:27:02.100 You wait in line.
00:27:03.520 That's the way the system
00:27:04.860 is meant to go.
00:27:06.020 And it goes back to our
00:27:06.840 first story, Bill Clinton.
00:27:08.040 If they'd been properly
00:27:09.460 vetted, you know what?
00:27:10.680 If you're trying to come
00:27:11.760 in legally, if you're a
00:27:12.800 member of a Venezuelan
00:27:14.000 gang, if you're a murderer,
00:27:15.140 if you're a rapist, if
00:27:16.040 you're a child molester, you're
00:27:17.620 not going to get in legally
00:27:19.120 when you're vetted, which
00:27:20.840 is why these open
00:27:22.200 borders are causing such
00:27:23.740 devastations and they are
00:27:24.980 making American families
00:27:27.060 much, much less safe.
00:27:29.100 Final question on this, and
00:27:30.480 it's an important one.
00:27:31.720 I think the American people
00:27:33.660 are really understanding the
00:27:35.100 game here and they're
00:27:37.200 understanding that these
00:27:38.300 migrant caravans are coming
00:27:39.780 and they're running here in
00:27:41.600 case Trump gets elected.
00:27:43.260 They even understand this
00:27:45.000 election is either about a
00:27:46.380 wide open border that
00:27:47.300 continues and mass amnesty
00:27:49.060 or law and order in a
00:27:52.200 secure border with Donald
00:27:54.280 Trump.
00:27:54.800 If the illegal immigrants
00:27:56.700 that are rushing to get in
00:27:58.260 here before Donald Trump
00:28:00.680 would take office, that's
00:28:02.100 that's clearly the right
00:28:03.340 that they're saying this
00:28:04.440 right.
00:28:04.760 They're the ones that are
00:28:05.580 telling us this.
00:28:07.200 Then then then shouldn't
00:28:08.580 every American take a look
00:28:10.640 at that and realize just the
00:28:13.100 difference of the
00:28:15.700 perspective from an illegal
00:28:18.460 immigrant, Senator, if this
00:28:20.640 is what they're doing right
00:28:21.600 now ahead of time to
00:28:23.360 understand like there's two
00:28:24.940 policies here.
00:28:26.560 They're two very different
00:28:27.860 and no matter what Harris
00:28:29.760 says, no matter what it
00:28:30.700 all says, the illegal
00:28:31.980 immigrants know that they
00:28:34.120 are good for business.
00:28:35.340 That's good for human
00:28:36.440 trafficking, sex trafficking,
00:28:38.260 drug trafficking.
00:28:39.080 The list goes on and on
00:28:40.440 and Donald Trump is going
00:28:42.300 to shut it down.
00:28:43.420 The party's over.
00:28:45.200 I think that's an incredibly
00:28:47.060 important point that needs
00:28:48.200 to be made.
00:28:48.700 These illegal immigrants get
00:28:50.340 it.
00:28:51.560 They do.
00:28:52.240 And, you know, another
00:28:53.180 number that everyone should
00:28:54.400 know is
00:28:55.980 two thousand six
00:28:57.800 hundred percent.
00:28:59.380 Do you know what two
00:28:59.980 thousand six hundred
00:29:00.700 percent is?
00:29:02.000 I'm going to guess the
00:29:03.260 amount of illegal
00:29:04.140 immigration that's gone up
00:29:05.260 since they got into
00:29:06.080 office.
00:29:07.400 No, no, it's actually a
00:29:08.760 different stat than that.
00:29:10.560 So in twenty eighteen,
00:29:12.320 the Mexican drug cartels
00:29:14.060 were earning roughly
00:29:15.820 five hundred million
00:29:17.080 dollars in revenue from
00:29:18.480 human trafficking.
00:29:19.700 Now, look, five hundred
00:29:20.560 million dollars is a lot
00:29:21.340 of money.
00:29:22.400 Do you know how much they
00:29:22.980 made last year?
00:29:24.320 A hell of a lot more
00:29:25.180 than that.
00:29:26.720 Thirteen
00:29:27.200 billion
00:29:28.620 dollars.
00:29:30.460 And those stats are from
00:29:31.800 The New York Times.
00:29:32.880 That is a two thousand
00:29:34.460 six hundred percent
00:29:35.640 increase.
00:29:36.840 Joe Biden and Kamala
00:29:37.960 Harris have been
00:29:38.680 incredibly good.
00:29:39.480 In fact, I've joked,
00:29:40.760 you know, the standard
00:29:42.040 test for any presidential
00:29:43.260 election is are you
00:29:45.440 better off now than you
00:29:46.720 were four years ago?
00:29:47.940 And I've joked, unless
00:29:50.000 you're a Mexican drug
00:29:51.780 lord.
00:29:52.040 And by the way, if you
00:29:53.040 are a Mexican drug lord,
00:29:54.280 you should definitely
00:29:55.680 vote for Kamala Harris
00:29:57.120 because she's made you
00:29:58.360 billions and billions
00:29:59.460 of dollars.
00:29:59.980 You would be an idiot if
00:30:01.360 you're a Mexican drug lord
00:30:02.340 not to vote for Kamala
00:30:03.360 Harris.
00:30:04.200 But if you're not, for
00:30:05.220 just about everyone else,
00:30:06.280 life has gotten a lot
00:30:07.060 worse.
00:30:07.960 That number is staggering.
00:30:09.940 And one of the
00:30:10.300 consequences of it is
00:30:12.060 Joe Biden and Kamala
00:30:13.040 Harris have devastated
00:30:14.720 the nation of Mexico.
00:30:15.820 Mexico is a wonderful
00:30:17.360 nation.
00:30:18.240 In Texas, it is our
00:30:19.700 immediate southern
00:30:20.560 neighbor.
00:30:21.540 Texas and Mexican
00:30:22.580 culture, there's
00:30:23.520 enormous overlap.
00:30:24.880 I'll tell you, 20, 30
00:30:25.840 years ago, you go to
00:30:26.700 South Texas.
00:30:28.300 People would cross the
00:30:29.440 border back and forth.
00:30:30.540 If you were in Laredo,
00:30:31.420 you'd go down to Nueva
00:30:32.200 Laredo.
00:30:32.640 You'd have dinner at a
00:30:33.640 Mexican restaurant.
00:30:34.420 You'd come back and
00:30:35.100 forth.
00:30:35.660 I mean, there was this
00:30:36.700 cross-border culture that
00:30:40.040 was wonderful.
00:30:40.900 Nobody does that anymore.
00:30:42.920 Like, because the
00:30:44.080 violence, the cartels,
00:30:46.500 Joe Biden and Kamala
00:30:47.540 Harris have made the drug
00:30:48.720 cartels the most powerful
00:30:50.120 economic force in Mexico,
00:30:51.960 and they are vicious,
00:30:54.480 utterly amoral criminals.
00:30:57.140 There are, I met with the
00:30:59.820 mayor of a border town in
00:31:01.460 Mexico, who told me in his
00:31:03.700 town alone there had been
00:31:05.140 more than 3,000
00:31:08.020 disappearances.
00:31:09.700 Just people who disappear,
00:31:11.280 who the cartels kidnap,
00:31:13.080 they murder, and they're
00:31:14.120 found just in pits of dead
00:31:15.780 bodies.
00:31:16.540 That's what Biden and
00:31:17.840 Harris have done to Mexico,
00:31:19.460 is they have undermined
00:31:21.580 public safety to a level,
00:31:23.100 they have turned these
00:31:24.220 cartels into superpowers,
00:31:27.300 and it is tragic what's
00:31:28.600 happening to Mexico, but
00:31:30.060 it's also tragic what's
00:31:31.140 happening to America.
00:31:32.560 Yeah, it really is.
00:31:33.540 If you're like me and
00:31:35.020 protecting your family is a
00:31:37.040 top priority, you may have
00:31:39.020 your permit to carry.
00:31:40.080 Maybe you live in a state
00:31:41.440 where you don't have to have
00:31:42.360 a permit to carry, and you
00:31:44.060 have constitutional carry,
00:31:45.320 and you carry a firearm.
00:31:46.860 Well, you also need to know
00:31:48.340 that there are activist
00:31:49.320 DAAs out there, and each and
00:31:51.080 every day in this country,
00:31:52.120 unfortunately, they go after
00:31:54.120 law-abiding citizens that
00:31:55.380 protected themselves,
00:31:56.640 themselves, and their
00:31:57.680 families, from people that
00:31:59.740 are causing harm, that are
00:32:01.400 trying to hurt them, trying
00:32:02.620 to kill them, or their
00:32:03.640 family.
00:32:04.560 And that is where the
00:32:06.480 USCCA comes in.
00:32:08.560 You may not realize what can
00:32:10.400 happen in our twisted legal
00:32:12.120 system, and they can put you
00:32:14.620 behind bars while the
00:32:16.200 criminal walks free.
00:32:17.780 That is why you need a
00:32:19.520 lawyer on speed dial that is
00:32:22.200 protecting your Second
00:32:23.520 Amendment rights, and that is
00:32:25.200 exactly what the members of the
00:32:27.020 USCCA have, because not only
00:32:29.460 will you get access to their
00:32:30.900 Protector Academy to learn
00:32:32.440 vital skills like precision
00:32:34.420 shooting and how to fortify your
00:32:36.260 home against criminals, but you
00:32:37.960 also get access to the 24-7
00:32:40.840 critical response team, and the
00:32:43.300 included benefit of self-defense
00:32:46.040 liability insurance to make sure
00:32:48.000 you and your family are prepared
00:32:49.460 for anything.
00:32:50.360 And for a limited time, you can
00:32:52.540 text the word America to
00:32:55.100 87222 to get the USCCA's free
00:33:00.980 life-saving concealed carry and
00:33:03.000 family defense guide, and a chance
00:33:05.700 to win $1,700 to buy any self-defense
00:33:10.120 gear you need before it's too late.
00:33:12.220 So if you want to know that you are
00:33:14.760 protected if you ever have to use
00:33:16.180 your firearm, and let me tell you,
00:33:17.480 I had to use my firearm to save my
00:33:19.400 life, and I wish I would have had
00:33:22.100 USCCA there to protect and defend my
00:33:25.380 Second Amendment right.
00:33:26.680 Well, now you don't have to learn like
00:33:28.680 I did how expensive it can be, and how
00:33:31.740 to protect yourself.
00:33:32.880 Do it in advance.
00:33:34.480 So text the word right now,
00:33:36.880 America, to 87222 to get the
00:33:41.420 USCCA's free life-saving concealed
00:33:43.480 carry and family defense guide, and a
00:33:45.700 chance to win $1,700 to buy any
00:33:48.420 self-defense gear you need before it's
00:33:50.260 too late.
00:33:51.240 Text the word America to 87222 right
00:33:54.200 now.
00:33:54.960 Senator, final question, and it plays
00:33:57.000 on what we just talked about with the
00:33:59.060 caravans and the illegal immigrants
00:34:01.200 coming into this country.
00:34:03.380 There are a lot of people 20-plus days
00:34:05.540 out from Election Day that are really
00:34:06.920 concerned about illegal voting and
00:34:11.000 elections that can be influenced by
00:34:14.120 people that shouldn't be canceling out
00:34:16.000 your vote.
00:34:17.400 The reason why I bring that up is the
00:34:19.620 Department of Justice has now sued
00:34:21.780 Virginia, listen carefully, America, for
00:34:26.240 purging voter registration rolls.
00:34:31.180 This story deals with removing illegal
00:34:34.000 immigrants from the voter rolls, and the
00:34:36.180 DOJ said, no, no, no, we don't want you
00:34:38.140 to do that.
00:34:38.840 Are you kidding me?
00:34:39.740 Well, it is unfortunately where Joe
00:34:42.940 Biden and Kamala Harris's Department of
00:34:44.860 Justice is.
00:34:45.820 We are three weeks out from Election
00:34:48.400 Day, and what DOJ is terrified about is
00:34:52.000 that states like Virginia, like Texas, are
00:34:55.880 implementing election security measures,
00:34:58.660 including removing illegal immigrants from
00:35:01.320 the state's voter rolls.
00:35:02.900 And the Department of Justice has gone to
00:35:06.300 court, has sued Virginia, saying you cannot
00:35:09.880 remove illegal immigrants from your voter
00:35:12.000 rolls.
00:35:12.540 And it is, look, we've talked at great
00:35:15.160 length.
00:35:15.580 This Department of Justice under Biden and
00:35:17.420 Harris is the most partisan, it's the most
00:35:19.120 political Department of Justice in our
00:35:21.560 nation's history.
00:35:23.440 And their focus, in a sane world, the
00:35:29.340 Department of Justice would be trying to
00:35:31.460 stop illegal immigrants from voting.
00:35:33.260 It is against the law for illegal immigrants
00:35:35.960 to vote.
00:35:36.580 But this Department of Justice is worried,
00:35:38.960 particularly because Virginia is potentially
00:35:41.840 a swing state.
00:35:42.740 It's not one of the seven most critical
00:35:44.300 swing states.
00:35:45.100 But I'll tell you, Glenn Youngkin won there,
00:35:47.220 and Trump's numbers have been surprisingly
00:35:48.980 strong in Virginia.
00:35:50.820 And it really shows the political priorities
00:35:54.860 of this Department of Justice, that when
00:35:56.860 they go into court, they're not fighting for
00:35:59.380 you, they're fighting to allow illegal
00:36:01.260 immigrants to vote.
00:36:02.080 Yeah, make sure you share this and all the
