00:02:29.840If you've got coverage right now you love, you're going to love your coverage of Patriot Mobile even more.
00:02:34.020But you get rid of the woke left agenda.
00:02:35.900So if you're worried about coverage, don't be.
00:02:38.960Now, why should you switch to Patriot Mobile?
00:02:40.600Not only are you probably going to save real money every month, but then the magic happens.
00:02:44.620A portion of your bill every month goes back to support conservative causes, candidates, organizations that fight for our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children.
00:02:55.180And they do something that's really special.
00:02:57.160They stand with our men and women in uniform, whether it's police officers or law enforcement in general or our men and women that fight for this country overseas.
00:03:06.320They stand with our wounded warriors and our fallen families who have lost a loved one so that there is the financial need and aid that is needed.
00:03:13.380So that's why I want you to switch to Patriot Mobile
00:06:38.620But I will say, as we were recording the podcast late Thursday night, early Friday morning,
00:06:43.540That's when the Senate passed the bill that funded all of TSA and funded all of DHS, but carved out ICE and carved out $6 billion from CBP.
00:06:56.760And in fact, in the middle of the pod, I looked and said, oh, wow, okay, it just passed the Senate.
00:07:01.000And the reason I did that is that you had John Thune who went to the floor at like 2.30 in the morning and called for a voice vote.
00:07:07.420There were only a half dozen senators on the floor.
00:07:09.240That was an agreement both sides had reached to let it pass.
00:07:12.580Well, we said at the time we weren't sure how things were going to play out, and Friday that illustrated to be the case, because the House came back, and House Republicans were pissed.
00:07:27.880Like, I was talking to some of them, and they were like, you guys think this is going to fly with us, it won't, so explain that and where it is now.
00:07:35.620Yeah, look, they were volcanically mad, and part of it is House Republicans have not been dealing with Senate Democrats for the last 44 days.
00:07:45.200And so House Republicans' views were, it is ridiculous, it is objectively insane to defund ICE and to cut the funding for CBP, and they're absolutely right.
00:07:57.100It is it is reckless. It is dangerous. It is a lunatic policy that for the entire history of the republic never would have happened except right now.
00:08:07.280Yeah. And and what I will say is Senate Democrats, they are so angry. They hate Trump so much.
00:08:13.500My view and we've been talking about this in the pod for two weeks. I'm not surprised with where we ended up.
00:08:18.440And I think it's where we will end up being, because in my view, I believe the Democrats will never again vote to fund ICE forever.
00:08:26.480For a year, for five years, for 10 years, they are just a no, and they do not care if they shut down law enforcement.
00:08:35.360They want open borders. They don't want criminals deported. They don't want murderers deported.
00:08:39.680They're just a hard no. And so what I was arguing to my colleagues, look, this is an unbelievably dangerous and indefensible position.
00:08:47.340it also happens to be reality they're not going to move so what i said is all right let's fund
00:08:52.360everything they'll go along with but i'm not saying surrender and in fact i'm saying let's
00:08:57.480go on offense let's fund everything they're willing to fund and then let's immediately
00:09:01.720take up a reconciliation bill we can we don't need democrat votes to do that and what i have
00:09:07.160argued to my colleagues is let's fund ice for 10 years 10 years is the maximum budget window you
00:09:12.920can do. And I've urged, let's not just do it at current levels. Let's up the funding by 10%. So
00:09:19.900Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer are right now crowing to the left. Ha ha, we got everyone to
00:09:24.860defund ICE. Look how successful we are. I want to say, stick it where the suns don't shine.
00:09:31.920The effect of your ridiculousness is you increased funding for ICE by 10% and got it funded for 10
00:09:38.480years that's actually going on offense that's the case that i made to my colleagues by the way the
00:09:43.780white house was fully part of those negotiations and agreed which is why the senate did what it did
00:09:48.980but the house has not been banging into the reality that the democrats are just not going
00:09:54.760to move they don't care and so yeah i mean they're obsessed with defunding ice that is a victory for
00:10:01.400them as you describe it this is that there is no negotiating and you're you're right they want to
00:10:06.560destroy anybody that has a badge and the power and the authority they have for law and order.
00:10:10.920This is the same party, by the way, that was defund the police and let everybody out of jail
00:10:15.240with prison reform. And then they said, well, you want cashless bail for people based on how
00:10:19.500much money they have, even if they've committed murder or they're a rapist. They wanted to
00:10:23.400completely undermine every part of law and order in this country. And ICE just falls right into that.
00:10:29.880That's right. And the House Republicans had a visceral, emotional and completely understandable
00:10:35.440reaction of this is indefensible so they passed a bill that just funds everything yeah that bill
00:10:41.680unfortunately will go nowhere we voted on that bill i think eight separate times and the democrats
00:10:46.660voted it down every time so the effect of the house saying no tsa will be funded because the
00:10:53.540president signed an executive order to fund them but the effect of the house saying no is the coast
00:10:57.500guard is still not getting its paychecks fema's still not getting that okay so so give it a list
00:11:02.220So Coast Guard and FEMA, if there's a natural disaster saying terrible happens right now, they've got nothing coming, right?
00:11:12.260The people that we asked if someone tries to kill the president, put your body in front of the bullet and die for the president,
00:11:18.660Secret Service is not getting their paycheck right now.
00:11:21.900DHS, the offices, cyberterrorism, the offices that deal with bioterrorism, the people charged with preventing a terrorist attack are not getting paid.
00:11:32.220And it's why in the face of just the Democrat insanity – and by the way, we've had four major terror attacks in the last three weeks, all from radical Islamic terrorists.
00:11:43.340So the idea that we're defunding the department that prevents terrorist attacks and fights against them, it is a level of recklessness that I've never seen.
00:11:53.540And so I get the House's reaction, but the consequences of saying we're not going to vote for the deal that the White House negotiated with Schumer, and understand, it was the White House that cut this deal.
00:12:05.460It was the White House that was the point, the negotiating point back and forth with Schumer.
00:12:10.620House Republicans were mad about it, but the consequence of that is Coast Guardsmen and Secret Service and FEMA are not getting their paycheck, and unless something significant changes, they're not going to get their paycheck for another two weeks.
00:12:23.000So we're not going to see lines at airports, but we're going to have Coast Guardsmen who are risking their lives to rescue people to stop drug smugglers and human smugglers who don't know how they're going to pay their rent, don't know how they're going to pay their mortgage, who are going to food pantries to feed their kids, and not a Democrat cares.
00:12:41.340And so it's – the good news on ICE and CBP is we pre-funded both of those back last year when we did the big reconciliation bill.
00:12:52.360And by the way, thank goodness you guys did that.
00:12:54.540Was that preemptive because you had a feeling this could happen, or was that kind of dumb work?
00:16:21.360I remember they didn't like you very much.
00:16:23.200You are understating it by a billion sums.
00:16:27.120Okay. They hated your guts, and they wished the Democrat would beat you basically at that point. I'm being honest. I'm not crazy.
00:16:34.660Undoubtedly right, and in fact, in 2013, we had more leverage. We had more official control than the Democrats do now.
00:16:42.480So in 2013, we had control of the House of Representatives, and the Democrats had control of the Senate and the White House.
00:16:50.000Right now, the Democrats have none. They don't have the Senate. They don't have the House. They don't have the White House.
00:16:53.540So Republicans were in a stronger position in 2013 than Democrats are today, just in terms of the bodies they control.
00:17:02.720And what I argued, in fact, if you look at 2013, I made the case to House Republicans fund all of the government but do not fund Obamacare.
00:17:14.400So I encouraged House conservatives to stand up.
00:17:17.860Millions of Americans picked up the phone and called their members of Congress.
00:17:21.800and House Republicans in 2013 stood strong, funded all of government, but not Obamacare.
00:17:27.240And when it went to the Senate, the case I made to my colleagues, I said, here's a crazy idea.
00:17:31.240How about Senate Republicans support House Republicans?
00:17:35.540And Mitch McConnell and Senate leadership not only did not do so,
00:17:41.200it was Republican leadership that went on TV pounding me and repeating Harry Reid's talking points.
00:17:48.600And I just want to say, look, the difference between today and then as Chuck Schumer and the Democrats stood together, you didn't have Chuck Schumer taking a flamethrower to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
00:18:01.480You had him just standing united, and it showed what I argued in 2013 could have happened.
00:18:07.660And by the way, their argument was how will Barack Obama possibly make any concessions on his signature legislative achievement, Obamacare?
00:18:17.600What was the singular issue Donald Trump was re-elected on in 2024?
00:20:05.940And then I was doing a good friend, Life, Liberty, and Levin, Mark Levin's TV show.
00:20:09.400And so you prep hard for that because Mark's a dear friend of ours, and I was thinking about what the Democratic Party was doing, the No Kings rally that was happening.
00:20:17.520And I decided, I was like, I'm going to ask AI, how do you destroy a country without a civil war, without war, without bombs, without shooting?
00:20:28.100And what it sent back to me literally sounds like if you had a mission statement of the Democratic Party of the United States of America, I sent it to you.
00:20:37.600Let's go through this a little bit because it is a warning to every American.
00:20:41.460When I say that I truly believe the Democratic Party hates this country and they want to destroy it and they have disdain for it, when you look at what AI says you do to destroy it – and I didn't say America.
00:21:06.720i asked the question if you were trying to destroy america deliberately if that were your stated
00:21:13.060objective what would you do differently than what the biden white house has done that's another way
00:21:18.860of putting it well we now have ai on our phones and so you typed in you asked how would how would
00:21:23.920you destroy a country without going to war and and chat gpt came up with eight steps let's just
00:21:30.380go through what AI says this is how you destroy a country and chat GPT began with history shows
00:21:36.680you don't need bombs or an invasion to weaken a country bad policy decisions especially over time
00:21:41.180can do real damage from within number one economic mismanagement runaway spending
00:21:48.360unsustainable debt high inflation or over regulation can choke growth we can currency
00:21:55.600stability and erode trust in institutions we got three of the four my friend three i mean three of
00:22:02.520the four literally are very very clear there which one are we missing well i mean inflation isn't is
00:22:08.420not the top of the list for me on that one but i'm but it was under biden i mean we we had incredibly
00:22:14.000high yes like look it's the democrat policies that led to every one of them that is their economic
00:22:19.640policy yes no no no you're absolutely correct there and i was really in my head like to where
00:22:24.080are we now? And I'm like, well, thank goodness we've lowered inflation a lot with Donald Trump
00:22:28.760being in office. But you're right. Their policy was runaway inflation under the Biden regime.
00:22:33.400What do they call it? Bidenflation? They're like, that's not real. We've got a great economy,
00:22:37.560right? Yeah, so much for that. All right. Number two, breakdown of law and order.
00:22:43.280If laws aren't enforced consistently, whether on crime, borders, or corruption,
00:22:50.060public confidence collapses and disorder can grow now how is that anything but word for word
00:22:58.260what the democrat open border policy anti-law enforcement policy has been for the past decade
00:23:03.680yeah and that i mean this again i go back to like people listening right now this is what ai says
00:23:08.880if you want to destroy a country from within how you do it and everything in that category the
00:23:13.500democrats are doing at full speed not like dabbling in it it's full speed for them okay number three
00:23:20.440Weak or inconsistent leadership, frequent policy reversals, lack of clear direction, or prioritizing politics over governance can create instability and uncertainty.
00:23:35.380Look, we spent four years with a man with dementia as commander-in-chief with his finger on the nuclear button.
00:23:41.680And AI is telling us if you want to destroy a country, that's a great way to start.
00:23:47.980All right, number four. Number four, erosion of institutions, undermining courts, law enforcement, elections, or the military, either through politicization or loss of credibility, can weaken the backbone of a country.
00:24:11.420Democrats put out a video not that long ago telling people in the military to go rogue against the president of the United States of America.
00:24:18.660We had a sitting member of one of your colleagues.
00:30:59.900And I'm glad it did, because this is the warning from AI that this is the Democratic Party and what they're doing,
00:31:05.860Which brings us, by the way, to the demise of this country in real time and their No Kings rally.
00:31:11.500This is something that this show, and Senator, you warned about the first time there was a No Kings rally.
00:31:17.740A quote from a Fox News article, I'm going to go back in time, says, quote,
00:31:21.520Senator Ted Cruz, Republican from Texas, was the first to sound the alarm on ties between Soros and the quote-unquote No Kings protest during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity.
00:31:31.520And you and I were talking about that on this show.
00:37:47.800Communist dictators live the lives as kings.
00:37:51.180The irony of these idiot leftists waving signs that say no kings and then also waving signs that say we need a communist revolution.
00:38:00.480Every communist dictator lives better than any king has ever lived, and the people suffer in every instance.
00:38:06.480And I'll tell you, that video, I really hope that video, that Pam Bondi is listening carefully, that Kash Patel is listening carefully, that Scott Besson at the Treasury Department is listening carefully.
00:38:19.700I have been advocating this since the day the second Trump administration started, these violent protests, whether it was the George Floyd, the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots, whether it was the open border riots, whether it was the anti-Semitic riots on college campuses, whether it was the harassment of law enforcement in Minneapolis causing violent altercations, or whether it is these fake no kings rallies, they're all the same thing.
00:38:46.520Yep. It is all the same people paying for it. And right now, the only people who've been arrested anywhere have been, as she said, the pack mules, the people just engaging in the little violence, and not the people writing millions of dollars of checks, the brilliant strategists who, you know what? They may well have typed into AI, how do you destroy a nation? And they are executing it precisely.
