Verdict with Ted Cruz - Bill Clinton Admits the Obvious： Kamala's Open Borders Killed Laken Riley, plus a New Illegal Immigrants Caravan Heads North

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. 0.89

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.

00:02:52.720 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. 0.92

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, 1.00

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. 1.00

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, 0.98

00:05:15.880 saying, go to America, go kill Americans. 0.92

00:05:17.980 So what Bill Clinton said was absolutely correct. 0.98

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, 0.97

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. 0.99

00:09:43.420 Should we have let in psychopathic murderers 1.00

00:09:46.440 who rape and murder women? 1.00

00:09:48.100 No. 0.98

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, 0.56

00:10:40.160 child rapists, rapists, 1.00

00:10:41.540 sexual abusers and convicted murderers. 1.00

00:10:45.320 Oh, and that doesn't even count 0.99

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, 0.78

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 0.88

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 0.54

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 0.73

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 0.96

00:12:27.240 and rapists 1.00

00:12:27.760 who are illegal immigrants 1.00

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 0.54

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. 1.00

00:13:54.820 We don't know

00:13:55.340 what a mother is. 0.99

00:13:56.960 But it's also true 0.89

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 1.00

00:14:06.440 and rapists 1.00

00:14:06.880 into this country 0.99

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, 0.92

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

00:16:41.640 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 0.98

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.91

00:19:57.180 La Verdad,

00:19:58.300 the migrants 0.88

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 0.94

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 0.88

00:21:25.620 they're going 1.00

00:21:25.880 to kill 1.00

00:21:26.260 you, that's 1.00

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 0.99

00:22:14.840 and these 1.00

00:22:15.640 idiots in the 1.00

00:22:16.340 government are 1.00

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 0.90

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 0.74

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 1.00

00:23:33.200 who raped and 0.99

00:23:33.840 murdered Jocelyn 0.94

00:23:34.540 Nungary get to 1.00

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.

00:24:07.320 And in this

00:24:07.780 podcast, we

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 1.00

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 0.81

00:25:42.940 Cuba, they'd murder 1.00

00:25:43.740 him.

00:25:44.480 My Tia Sonia got out 0.85

00:25:45.800 of Cuba and she was 0.94

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 0.99

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 1.00

00:26:05.140 me, kill me. 1.00

00:26:06.400 That's why we have 0.99

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 0.73

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, 1.00

00:27:15.140 if you're a rapist, if 1.00

00:27:16.040 you're a child molester, you're 1.00

00:27:17.620 not going to get in legally 0.98

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 0.91

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:28:50.340 it. 0.98

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 0.99

00:29:50.000 you're a Mexican drug 1.00

00:29:51.780 lord. 1.00

00:29:52.040 And by the way, if you 0.99

00:29:53.040 are a Mexican drug lord, 0.99

00:29:54.280 you should definitely 0.99

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. 1.00

00:29:59.980 You would be an idiot if 1.00

00:30:01.360 you're a Mexican drug lord 1.00

00:30:02.340 not to vote for Kamala 1.00

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 0.80

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, 1.00

00:30:54.480 utterly amoral criminals. 0.99

00:30:57.140 There are, I met with the 0.81

00:30:59.820 mayor of a border town in

00:31:01.460 Mexico, who told me in his 0.89

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 0.61

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 0.80

00:32:02.620 to kill them, or their 1.00

00:32:03.640 family. 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

00:35:33.260 It is against the law for illegal immigrants 1.00

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
