0:00It's an interesting and revealing
0:01experience to talk to Trump voters right
0:03now. They're having a lot of conflicting
0:06thoughts. Now, most people who voted for
0:08Donald Trump in 2024
0:11did so not because they were more
0:15popular with their neighbors, but
0:16because they felt that Donald Trump was
0:19the last chance this country had to make
0:21fundamental changes it needed to make to
0:24avert obvious disasters looming on the
0:27horizon. And so because people who voted
0:30for Trump did so against the considered
0:33advice of every news organization in the
0:35United States basically and all educated
0:38fashionable people,
0:40they kind of went out on a limb to vote
0:43for this guy. There is a natural
0:45hesitance to concede that things aren't
0:48working as planned. So if you talk to
0:51them, they will almost all concede,
0:53almost all concede that a regime change
0:57war with Iran was kind of not part of
0:58the plan. Very few people voted for
1:00Trump hoping that, you know, the Iran
1:03nuclear program that didn't actually
1:05exist in any meaningful way would be the
1:07central focus of the administration like
1:09that. Nobody thought that who voted for
1:10Trump two years ago. And some of them
1:14will tell you, "No, it's actually very
1:15important that we ended that or
1:17continued to fight Iran for whatever
1:19reason. Those of the Fox News viewers
1:20are almost all over 70." But for most
1:22Trump voters, it's an obvious betrayal.
1:26Like, obviously, of course, we didn't
1:28want that. Of course, you promised you
1:29wouldn't do it. You did it. So, they'll
1:32tell you that. But that's not the same
1:36as regretting their vote for Trump.
1:38Because most people who voted for Trump,
1:39who I should say are some of the best
1:41people in the country, whatever you
1:42think of Trump, it's sort of this weird
1:44situation where the best people in the
1:45country elected one of the worst people
1:46in the country or another way to put it,
1:48the people who care most about the
1:50United States, who were the most vested
1:52in the system, who believed most
1:53fervently in say the Constitution
1:57somehow elected a guy who doesn't care
1:58at all about any of that. So, how did
2:00that happen? Well, only historians
2:01probably will unravel that mystery. But
2:03in the meantime, most people who voted
2:06for Trump that we've talked to anyway
2:08are not at the point where they're
2:10rejecting Trump. They don't want to
2:12reject Trump. They vested so much in the
2:15guy that it's too hard to concede that,
2:18wow, that was a mistake. And of course,
2:21most of them wouldn't vote for Kla
2:22Harris under any circumstances. So, it's
2:24not like they had someone else to vote
2:25for. But if you press them a little bit,
2:27they say, look, yeah, of course, this is
2:29not going as planned at all. And they'll
2:32tell you what a lot of them said in his
2:33first term from 2016 to 2020. They'll
2:36say, you know, he's a good guy, but he's
2:38surrounded somehow by bad people who
2:41don't share the same vision, who are not
2:42America first, who are in it for
2:44themselves or in it for a foreign
2:45country or whatever. They've sold Trump
2:47out. But Trump either can't get a handle
2:51on the federal bureaucracy or he just
2:53doesn't know. He doesn't know that
2:55they're doing this. You know, if only
2:56Trump knew.
2:59And then if you press them still more,
3:00they will say, "Yeah, well look, it's,
3:02you know, it's not great in a lot of
3:03ways, but
3:05immigration,
3:07he sealed the border. He kept his
3:09promises on immigration." And that's not
3:11a small thing because Trump's position
3:14on immigration is the core of the Trump
3:18movement and has been since 2015 when he
3:21first emerged as a candidate. Not a
3:23credible candidate. He was still kind of
3:25a joke to a lot of people in Washington,
3:27New York, and LA.
3:29But he soon became a force in the
3:31Republican party and then pretty swiftly
3:33took over the Republican party because
3:36of his position on immigration
3:39really for two reasons. One, it was a
3:42lot more popular than anyone in New
3:44York, Los Angeles or Washington had any
3:47idea, just didn't know
3:49that there was a whole world out there
3:51that disagreed with him vehemently on
3:53the question of immigration. And not
3:54just illegal immigration but immigration
3:56broadly like who should live here? Do we
3:59have too many people here, too few
4:01people here?
4:03Most people fear there feel there are
4:05too many already. It's becoming a
4:07crowded country and most Americans are
4:09not for that. Why would they be for
4:10that? And they felt this way even 10
4:12years ago. And so Trump's position on
4:15that is the thing, the single thing that
4:18vaulted him from failed casino magnet to
4:22presidential nominee. it was immigration
4:24and his willingness and this is the
4:26second part of the equation to basically
4:28give the finger not simply to the
4:30establishment but to the Republican
4:32establishment. Trump was never an
4:35orthodox Republican. That's not a knock
4:37against him. That's the whole reason
4:38that so many Republican voters supported
4:41him because they were dissatisfied with
4:42their own party. They'd voted for these
4:45guys since Reagan, at least since 1980.
4:48And what had they gotten? Not a better
4:50country, but a weaker, poorer country.
4:53their party had betrayed them and they
4:55knew that whether they admitted it in
4:56public or not. So Trump's willingness to
5:01break with the Republican party on the
5:04question of immigration, which was a
5:05core Republican orthodoxy, it was Ronald
5:07Reagan, of course, who signed the
5:08amnesty of 1986, totally changing the
5:10composition of the state of California,
5:12his state, and others.
5:15And so from 1986 to 2016, that was the
5:20Republican position. Yeah, we have
5:22problems with illegal immigration, but
5:24immigration is great. It's the basis of
5:26our country. It's engraved on the bottom
5:27of the Statue of Liberty. Give us your
5:29tired and poor and people yearning to be
5:32free, etc. That's the guy who does my
5:34lawn.
5:37Only Trump
5:40could change that. Or more to the point,
5:43only Trump did change that. And so in
5:45case you've forgotten, here is the last
5:4910 years
5:51encapsulated in four or five sound bites
5:53of Donald Trump on immigration. Now the
5:55first clip you're about to see is
5:57exactly 10 years old. It was August
5:5931st, 2016. Exactly 10 years ago. Here's
6:03Donald Trump.
6:05The fundamental problem
6:08with the immigration system in our
6:10country is that it serves the needs of
6:13wealthy donors, political activists, and
6:17powerful powerful politicians. It's all
6:19you can do. Let me tell you who it does
6:24not serve. It does not serve you, the
6:29American people. Doesn't serve you.
6:32Under my administration,
6:35anyone who illegally crosses the border
6:38will be detained until they are removed
6:41out of our country and back to the
6:44country from which they came. Anyone who
6:47has entered the United States illegally
6:51is subject to deportation.
6:53That is what it means to have laws and
6:57to have a country. Otherwise, we don't
6:59have a country. Day one, MY FIRST HOUR
7:03IN OFFICE, THOSE PEOPLE are gone.
7:14[cheering]
7:18And you can call it deported if you
7:20want. The press doesn't like that term.
7:22You can call it whatever the hell you
7:24want. They're gone.
7:27>> You know, it's worth lingering over
7:28those words. And you wonder who wrote
7:30that. Sounds like a Steven Miller
7:31speech. Much hate towards Steven Miller,
7:34the old Steven Miller for writing things
7:36like that. We're just guessing. But but
7:38let's just consider these words. The
7:41fundamental problem with the immigration
7:42system in our country is that it serves
7:44the needs of wealthy donors, political
7:47activists, and powerful politicians. Let
7:50me tell you who it does not serve. It
7:51does not serve the American people. It
7:53doesn't serve you. So how is that not
7:55true? Everything about that paragraph is
7:58true. The immigration system was not
8:00designed to benefit the public. And if
8:03it was, tell me how it's worked. There's
8:06no net economic benefit to the way the
8:08United States has done immigration over
8:10the last 25 years. And if there is, what
8:13was it?
8:14How could a country that transitions
8:16from manufacturing to a knowledge
8:18economy and now to high-tech to an
8:20economy that doesn't even really need
8:22labor, that's the promise of AI, how
8:24does it need 100 million new low-skilled
8:27workers who don't speak English. Tell me
8:30what need that serves. Tell me how the
8:32United States benefits from that
8:34ordinary people. Of course, there's no
8:35sense in which the public benefits from
8:38that. And you know that that's true
8:40because the people who designed that
8:43system and have defended that system
8:45haven't actually defended it. They've
8:47merely attacked anyone who questions
8:50that system. You're a racist. You just
8:53don't like them because they're not
8:54white. Meanwhile, often in the same
8:57speech, they will say immigration is
9:00turning America non-white. And that's
9:02great. And anyone who notices that is a
9:04believer in the great replacement
9:06conspiracy theory, which is
9:07anti-semitic. Huh.
9:11It's not an argument in favor of
9:13immigration. It's a control tactic
9:16designed to crush opposition to a
9:18program that on its face hurts the
9:21majority of the country and is certainly
9:23being enacted against the will of the
9:24majority of the country. And so way back
9:2810 years ago in August of 2016, Trump
9:30said that out loud. And that may be more
9:33than anything
9:36perhaps his opposition to the Iraq war
9:38retroactively.
9:40But let's just say probably more than
9:42anything his critique of the American
9:45immigration system and particularly his
9:48point his true [snorts]
9:50impossible to refute point that it
9:52serves only the people who designed it
9:55and not the public. That's why they
9:57opposed him.
10:00And that itself is revealing because in
10:03fact Trump is making a kind of
10:04traditionally left-wing critique, a pro-
10:07labor critique. In fact, he's making a
10:10species of exactly the same argument
10:13that organized labor made throughout the
10:15teens and 20s. And that's why after the
10:17first world war in about 1924, at the
10:20behest of the labor unions, the United
10:22States essentially shut down immigration
10:23into the country to keep the labor
10:26market tight, to keep wages up for the
10:29working and middle class. And that's one
10:31of the main reasons that this country
10:32from then until 2015 under Barack Obama
10:36had a majority in the middle class. That
10:38is no longer true. And the primary
10:40reason it's no longer true is because
10:42the labor markets were watered down by
10:46more people. It's a supply and demand
10:48question. More willing workers, lower
10:52wages. And then the secondary effect,
10:55which is the total destruction of the
10:57native workforce. People born in this
11:00country, raised with a certain
11:02expectation of standard of living, drop
11:04out of the workforce entirely. They give
11:06up. And that has happened and it's
11:08measurable. In fact, it's one of the
11:10defining facts the moment we're living
11:12in, though it's almost never noted.
11:14People born in this country, people who
11:16had conceivably relatives who fought in
11:18the Civil War
11:20are dropping out of the workforce in
11:22record numbers. That's one of the
11:24reasons we still have a tight labor
11:25market. It's one of the reasons it's
11:27hard to find help because people born
11:29here are not working and they're
11:31certainly not working at the lower end
11:33of the scale.
11:36So everything about Trump's critique was
11:40not just right, it was spoton. And he
11:43rode that critique to victory in 2016
11:46along with a couple of very specific
11:48promises. And you heard a couple of them
11:50right there. And we'll add another. That
11:52is build a wall. The 2016 campaign could
11:56be boiled down to one slogan, build a
11:58wall. Well, of course, Trump didn't
11:59build a wall. Didn't even make really a
12:02good faith effort to build a wall. and
12:05his supporters and defenders
12:07mostly ignored that, me included,
12:11because most of them felt he probably
12:14wanted to. It's just hard and he got
12:16distracted and there was Russia gate.
12:20Most people who voted for Trump all
12:23three times and even the last time
12:25believed, in fact, I've never met anyone
12:26who voted for Trump who didn't believe
12:30that he really did understand that mass
12:33migration is terrible for the United
12:34States as it has been terrible for
12:36Europe, as it was terrible for Central
12:39Asia under the Mongols. It's always
12:42terrible. It's too much change too fast,
12:45and it destroys the pre-existing culture
12:48every single time.
12:50So, we know that that's not racism.
12:52That's nature.
12:54And Trump knew that and he said it. And
12:58most people, people who hated him and
13:00loved him, thought he meant it as he
13:01said it. Why did they think that?
13:03Because he kept saying it. This is one
13:06feature of Trump's program that remained
13:08consistent from 2015 all the way up
13:12until election night 2024. Here is Trump
13:15that year, that campaign on stage with
13:18Kla Harris in the now famous moment
13:23where he accused the Haitians of the
13:25Midwest of eating the dogs and cats.
13:27Watch what they have done to our country
13:29by allowing these millions and millions
13:32of people to come into our country and
13:34look at what's happening to the towns
13:36all over the United States. And a lot of
13:38towns don't want to talk. It's not going
13:39to be Aurora or Springfield. A lot of
13:41towns don't want to talk about it
13:42because they're so embarrassed by it. In
13:45Springfield, they're eating the dogs,
13:48the people that came in. They're eating
13:50the cats. They're eating They're eating
13:53the pets of the people that live there.
13:57[laughter] Really one of the great
13:58moments in political history. And of
14:00course, it worked on a couple of
14:01different levels. On a political level,
14:04this is what the kids call trolling.
14:06Trump says something knowing it will
14:08provoke outrage, blind outrage. In fact,
14:11blind rage. And that every liberal on
14:14social media will be spouting, just
14:17fuming, sputtering, spitting, huffing,
14:22and that that anger will provoke them,
14:25his opponents, to take positions that
14:28are totally out of line with where the
14:30rest of the public is. In other words,
14:33by making them mad, he makes them more
14:35extreme. And that extremism sinks their
14:38ship in the end. It's smart. It may be
14:41corrosive. It may be damaging long term,
14:43but as a political tactic, that works.
14:45And no one did it better. No one does it
14:47better to this day than Donald Trump. So
14:49on that level, it was a success. But on
14:51a deeper level, it worked because
14:54there's a lot of truth in that. Were the
14:56Haitians eating the dogs and cats in
14:58Springfield? I don't know. They
15:00certainly could have been. Has mass
15:03migration, third world mass migration
15:05made small towns in America better? Only
15:07people who've never been to those towns
15:08could claim it has. Anyone who's
15:11actually been to those towns or lives in
15:12one or gotten in a car and driven
15:15through lightly populated parts of the
15:16country in the last 15 years, what does
15:19it look like?
15:21It looks awful. It's dying. And the
15:24solution in state after state and town
15:26after town, city after city, beginning
15:28with Chicago, long our second biggest
15:30city, now our third, but in all kinds of
15:33cities has been t the tax base is gone.
15:36You've got a lot of empty apartments.
15:38We're going to fill them up with
15:41immigrants.
15:42And they've done that. And the effect
15:46has been devastating to the country.
15:48It's not an attack on those immigrants.
15:50Most of them are looking for a better
15:52life whether or not they care about the
15:54United States. In many cases, they
15:55don't. Many of them don't even seek
15:57citizenship. They don't care. They're
15:58here to make money for their families
16:00back home. That doesn't make them evil.
16:01Most of them aren't evil. Some of them
16:03are criminals, but most of them aren't.
16:07In fact, a lot of them are very hard
16:08workers. So, it's not an attack on them
16:11to say that it has been utterly
16:14devastating to the communities in which
16:16they've moved or been moved because
16:20everything changes instantly. And what
16:23does that mean for the people who live
16:24in those communities, who grew up there,
16:26who had no role at all in this policy,
16:29who wouldn't sign off on it if they'd
16:31had the chance, but of course were never
16:32given the chance. They weren't even
16:33asked. It happened to them. people who
16:36live far away, who have more power than
16:37they do, impose this on them for reasons
16:39that nothing to do with their well-being
16:43or thriving.
16:45It was a kind of punishment imposed from
16:46afar. That's how they experience it
16:48because that's what it is.
16:51And they're resentful about that. That
16:52doesn't make them racist. Most of them
16:53aren't racist, whatever that means. By
16:56the way, the people throwing around the
16:57term racist never define it. But they're
17:00not bad people. They're not evil. They
17:01don't hate others because of their skin
17:03color. or they just don't want their
17:04neighborhood to change overnight and
17:06become a foreign experience. Who would
17:08want that? And by the way, the people
17:11making these decisions never impose
17:14these decisions on their own
17:15neighborhoods. And if you don't believe
17:18it, drive through their neighborhoods.
17:19Look up the 15 richest zip codes in the
17:21United States. And they're also the most
17:23stable zip codes because they are not
17:26subjected to mass migration. So that
17:28kind of tells you the whole story right
17:31there. Martha's Vineyard looks a lot
17:33like it did 50 years ago. So does
17:35Nantucket. So does Brooklyn,
17:36Massachusetts. So does Aspen. If it's so
17:39great, then why don't they have
17:4210,000 Haitians living in Martha's
17:44Vineyard?
17:46Because it's not great. That's why it's
17:47not an attack on the Haitians.
17:49It's the nature of mass migration.
17:52taking people from a completely
17:53different culture with no education,
17:56limited skills, and no money, and
17:58dropping them into what was formerly a
18:01pretty prosperous, stable community.
18:04Who benefits? Not the formerly pro
18:07prosperous community. If you think
18:08that's racist, then go away because
18:10that's absurd. It's not. It's real. And
18:13Trump made that point. He was brave
18:15enough to do that. And God bless him for
18:17doing it. So because he said that and
18:20many things like that,
18:22normal people who don't just dismiss all
18:24challenges to their worldview as racism
18:26or anti-semitism, but try to critically
18:29assess what others are saying,
18:32those people said to themselves, you
18:34know, there he's on to something here.
18:36Like, what are we doing to Springfield,
18:38Ohio? Why aren't we doing that to
18:40Bethesda, Maryland?
18:42Well, we're not doing it to Bethesda,
18:44Maryland because Bethesda, Maryland is
18:45rich and members of Congress live there.
18:47Why? In Springfield, Ohio, where is
18:49that? Who cares? That's like
18:51post-industrial hell. We can do whatever
18:52we want to them. And if we want to
18:54construct artificially a new voting base
18:57in the middle of Ohio, if we want to
18:59change it from red to blue or whatever
19:00our plan is, we just want to weaken
19:02America and divide it so it can't oppose
19:05us collectively, which may be part of
19:07the plan. But whatever our aim is, we
19:09can do it in Springfield, Ohio, because
19:10who's gonna stop us? They don't have a
19:13lobby in DC. Mary Mason doesn't care
19:15what happens in Springfield, Ohio.
19:18So that's what happened and everybody
19:20knows that and let's stop lying about
19:22it. And Trump was one of the only people
19:23not to lie about it. And of course he
19:25expressed it in artfully kind of
19:27way, but it doesn't make it
19:28less true.
19:30So it was on the basis of that
19:33and his opposition to foreign wars that
19:36got him elected in 2024.
19:39So what happened then?
19:42Well, a lot happened then. On the other
19:45hand, not much happened then, as you're
19:48about to learn as we talked to the
19:50recently departed head of Border Patrol,
19:52Greg Bevino,
19:54who spent 30 years in the Border Patrol
19:57and was hired early on to get our
20:00immigration system under control.
20:04One of the things that happened is that
20:06there was turnover in who ran our
20:10immigration system. Now, it's mostly run
20:14uh from Washington, of course, and ICE
20:18and the Border Patrol are the two main
20:20instruments.
20:23Take a look at the new head of the
20:26entire immigration enforcement
20:29operation. This is a former senator from
20:33Oklahoma called Mark Wayne Mullen, and
20:36he's taken over in the last year. This
20:38is the guy Trump hired to deport over a
20:43100 million illegals. Watch this.
20:45>> We have naturalization ceremonies every
20:48single day in the United States that
20:51we're in that is, you know, federal
20:53government's open. We have hundreds of
20:57thousands of people, in fact, over we're
20:59real close to 900,000 individuals that
21:02have been naturalized in the last 12
21:04months. There's a legal system to go
21:07through.
21:08>> Wait a second. This is the guy who runs
21:12Department of Homeland Security, Mark
21:15Wayne Mullen, who was hired by Trump to
21:17deport all these illegals who came into
21:20the country over the last 20 years, but
21:21particularly over the four years under
21:23Joe Biden. 50 million they told us. And
21:26here he is this month, that was August
21:294th of this month, sitting before the
21:31National Governor's Association,
21:33bragging about how many of these people
21:36have become citizens, almost a million,
21:38900,000. What was that? The promise? Did
21:42Trump run less than two years ago on the
21:44promise to give citizenship to people
21:46who came here illegally? Wasn't it the
21:48opposite of that?
21:50And if it was the opposite of that, why
21:52did he hire one of the most liberal
21:53Republicans in the Senate, one of the
21:55most pro-illegal immigration Republicans
21:57in the entire Senate, and that's saying
21:58a lot, Mark Wayne Mullen, to run
22:01deportation.
22:04This is starting to feel like a
22:05betrayal.
22:07Oh, but it gets worse. Here's what Mark
22:10Wayne Mullen went on to say to the
22:13governors on August 4th of this year.
22:15>> I'm what I'm saying is, let me work with
22:17you on this stuff.
22:19I'm not handling things like maybe the
22:21past uh uh secretary had. I'm just
22:25saying let's work to get the worst of
22:27the worst off the streets and then you
22:29won't see me in your cities and states
22:31like you do as much because of my
22:33presence won't be as big. In fact, you
22:35probably won't even see this at all. Oh,
22:38we're going to stop enforcing
22:39immigration law. We're going to go after
22:41the worst of the worst, the criminals,
22:44who, by the way, presumably could be
22:47rounded up by local or state law
22:48enforcement. Isn't that their job? This
22:51is the head of federal immigration
22:54enforcement.
22:55The guy whose job was literally paid to
22:58enforce immigration law, laws that were
23:00passed by the Congress. These aren't
23:02regulations that came out of the
23:03agencies. These are laws passed by the
23:06democratic process. In other words, you
23:08vote for someone so he can make a law
23:10that reflects your views and your
23:12values. That's what democracy is. And he
23:15does. And then this guy is hired to make
23:18sure those laws are enforced. And here
23:20he is telling the 50 governors that
23:22actually I'm not going to enforce those
23:24laws. Now, if he worked for Joe Biden,
23:26this would be a scandal. It' be on every
23:28Fox News show all day long. Here's the
23:31head of the Department of Homeland
23:32Security saying he's not going to
23:33enforce immigration law. Oh my gosh,
23:35they're open borders people, which they
23:37were. This is Trump's guy, Mark Wayne
23:40Mullen,
23:42making the same claim.
23:45And so the point is really simple.
23:48The true betrayal of the second Trump
23:51term may not be foreign policy.
23:55That's the most damaging thing Trump or
23:57any American president has ever done.
23:59Beginning a fruitless war with Iran and
24:01thereby destroying
24:03our empire and probably our dollar.
24:07But in terms of a political betrayal,
24:11what Trump has not done in immigration
24:13is more profound because there's you
24:15probably won't find a single Trump voter
24:18who disagreed with Trump's views on
24:20immigration. And once again, this is why
24:22Trump was able to move from the private
24:25sector as a branding guy to the White
24:28House as an American president was on
24:30the basis of his promises on
24:31immigration. So for him to betray those
24:34promises is profound. And it's
24:37understandable that most people who
24:38voted for him can't metabolize this,
24:40don't want to deal with it, want to
24:42believe we've sealed the border and
24:43everything's fine. But at a certain
24:46point, it's important to know exactly
24:49where we are.
24:50Not just speculate about it or cite some
24:52study from Yale on what's the state of
24:54illegal immigration in the United
24:55States, but talk to the guy who ran it,
24:59Greg Bevino, who ran Border Patrol, who
25:01has the actual numbers on this question.
25:04How many illegal aliens are in the
25:05United States? These are people who are
25:07foreign nationals who are living here
25:10illegally, who have broken the law to
25:12get here and are breaking the law in
25:14every single case every single day by
25:17using fake documents to work and collect
25:20benefits and send their kids to public
25:22school and to use the emergency room at
25:24public expense, etc., etc., etc.
25:27And these are not minor laws. These are
25:29core laws that if you broke, you would
25:32be punished for breaking.
25:34So, how many of those are there? How
25:36many were in this country the day Trump
25:39was inaugurated, January 20th, 2025? And
25:42how many are here now? What are the real
25:44numbers?
25:46No one has
25:48pointed this out.
25:51Democrats have no incentive to point it
25:52out. Of course, ICE shot a couple
25:55protesters last year and so the emphasis
25:58has been on that. They're murderous
26:00thugs. Okay, we can debate that.
26:02Obviously, shooting unarmed people is
26:03bad. Never defend it.
26:06But that's not the whole story. The
26:08whole story is that immigration
26:11enforcement in the United States has
26:13stopped has stopped.
26:17And this fact, which is a central fact,
26:19which will define what our country is
26:21like going forward or even if it exists
26:23as a coherent country, is being
26:25completely ignored. Home ownership has
26:27always been at the center of the
26:28American dream. It is an actual asset, a
26:31[music] place people work their entire
26:32lives to build, a place of stability and
26:34security and real value. Right now
26:37though, too many homeowners are stuck
26:39swiping credit cards to cover groceries.
26:41There's basically a survival tax of 20%
26:44interest or more. So why keep handing
26:46your money to the banks when you could
26:48keep it for your family? Interest is
26:49what kills you. Our friends at American
26:52Financing have a better way. They're
26:53helping homeowners use their hard-earned
26:55equity, and they're supporting Americans
26:57looking to fulfill the dream of owning a
26:58home. With mortgage rates currently in
27:00the fives, American Financing saves its
27:03customers an average of $800 a month.
27:05That's about 10 grand a year. It's not
27:08just a loan, it's a true financial
27:10reset. We recommend American Financing.
27:12[music] They're called America's Home
27:14for Home Loans for a reason. So, get out
27:17of credit card debt. I mean, it is just
27:20crazy to borrow money. No judgment, but
27:22it doesn't make any sense to borrow
27:24money at that rate. If you want out,
27:26call 800685-55696.

27:33or visit americanfancing.net/tucker.
27:36So without further delay,
27:40this is Greg Bino who just left the
27:43Trump administration, ran Border Patrol,
27:45has the actual numbers on this stuff,
27:47was there while it was happening. We
27:49believe he is telling the truth. You
27:51should listen carefully to this
27:52interview and you should pay special and
27:54very close attention to his description
27:57of what the administration is now trying
27:59to do to him.
28:01It's shocking. Greg Bavino. Greg Vino,
28:05thank you very much for doing this. So
28:07just to kind of set it in context, what
28:09is the state of illegal immigration in
28:11the United States today to the extent
28:12that we know? Like how many illegal
28:14immigrants live in the United States?
28:16How many have been deported since Trump
28:19got elected, etc. Like, where are we?
28:21>> Tucker, thanks for having me. It's good
28:22to see you.
28:22>> Of course.
28:23>> Uh, state of illegal immigration. Uh,
28:25one word comes to mind, that's
28:26catastrophe right now in the United
28:28States. I I've got the number at 107
28:31million illegal aliens currently
28:34residing with impunity, I might add, in
28:37the United States.
28:38>> 107 million.
28:39>> 107 million. One quarter of the
28:42population. and we've got 330,000
28:44approximately American citizens. Add
28:46another 107 million onto that. Uh I
28:50think you can look around in any state,
28:52any region, or any city in the United
28:54States, if you're just a regular
28:56American citizen, and say, "Well, you
28:58know what? There's an awful lot of
29:01illegal aliens and foreigners in our
29:04country." Yeah. I mean, it's a
29:06completely different country because
29:07it's got a completely different
29:08population. And you're discouraged from
29:10saying that for some reason. People are
29:12bullied into silence on the question,
29:14but I mean it's it's not the same
29:15country. It's not even close. And you
29:18know, better in some ways, worse in a
29:20lot of ways, but it's totally different.
29:23And I assume that was mostly because of
29:26legal immigration, but 107 million
29:28illegal, illegal, the ones that came
29:31right across that border and not only
29:33over the past few years under the Biden
29:36administration, but look at what's
29:37happened over the past 40 years.
29:39>> Why are we fighting a war with Iran?
29:40Sorry. Well, makes me mad. What? Why are
29:43we using our $ 1.5 trillion military to
29:46fight a war across the world when we
29:48have 107 million illegal aliens in our
29:51country?
29:51>> We've said it many times in the Border
29:52Patrol. The war is on American soil. The
29:56war, the effort, that true effort is on
29:58American soil. So, I agree with you on
30:01that 100%, Tucker, is the wars on
30:04American soil. And it's not a war to
30:06simply deport those 107 million illegal
30:09aliens. This is survival of the species,
30:12ladies and gentlemen. We are at that
30:14precipice of are we going to remain the
30:17United States, the country of our
30:18values, traditions, and beliefs, or
30:20[snorts] are we going to devolve into
30:23something completely different? If we
30:24don't do something quick and fight that
30:26war here on American soil, we're there.
30:29But I mean, that was the whole point of
30:32getting Trump elected twice was to stop
30:35illegal immigration, build a wall, which
30:38he didn't do. And then, okay, we'll give
30:40him another chance. 2024
30:42hired Greg Bavino to run Border Patrol.
30:45Tom Hman tough on immigration or
30:47whatever. Like Steven Miller, he means
30:50it. And the one thing you knew about
30:52Trump was we were going to deport people
30:55who are here illegally because they have
30:56no right to be here. They're breaking
30:57the law. I go to jail if I break the
30:59law. But if you're from a foreign
31:00country, you get subsidies to come here
31:02if you break the law. Like it didn't it
31:03doesn't make any sense. But that hasn't
31:06happened, has it? It happened for that
31:09very short period of time in the
31:11interior when the border patrol and the
31:13US border patrol was in the interior and
31:15then with the surrender in Minnesota, it
31:18stopped the 77 million voters that voted
31:22for mass deportations. I guess it uh
31:25they didn't matter anymore. Um, but it
31:28does matter. It matters to you. It
31:30matters to me. It matters to those 77
31:32million people. It matters to those
31:3422,000 Border Patrol agents who put
31:36their life on the line in those cities
31:38to have that rug jerked out from under
31:41them by those homemans and those
31:43commissioner Rodney Scots. Okay. So now
31:46without getting you know the the federal
31:48government is its own field of study.
31:50Okay. You could get a PhD in it and
31:52still not understand it. It's the
31:53largest human organization in history.
31:56spends$7 trillion dollars a year. So
31:58like it's hard to understand what it is,
32:00but in terms that non-experts can
32:03understand, what is the difference
32:05between the border patrol and ICE?
32:08A vast difference. The US border patrol
32:11is the unformed
32:14branch of department of homeland
32:16security. CBP and the US border, they
32:18wear uniforms. They wear uniform just
32:20like a police officer you might see in a
32:22city. They wear uniforms. They are the
32:24immigration police, the uniforms
32:26immigration police. Then we've got ICE
32:29border patrol and they've been around
32:30forever, right? Been here 102 years. Uh,
32:34and they've had that interior border
32:36mission for all 102 years. It was the US
32:40Border Patrol, the Marine Corps, Federal
32:42Law Enforcement, that expeditionary
32:43force that would go into the United
32:45States over those 102 years, and there
32:47are many examples of that, to deport up
32:50to millions of illegal aliens. It's
32:53always been their mission. And right
32:55now, that unformed immigration force is
32:58standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the
33:00border, staring south, twiddling their
33:02thumbs. Largest border patrol in history
33:06now taken off the table. The most highly
33:08trained immigration police that you have
33:12taken right out of the game. Why would
33:13you take your pro squad or your varsity
33:15squad out of the game? I'm totally
33:18confused. So, okay. So, there are two
33:21parts of this question. And there's the
33:23border, you know, the the line between
33:25the United States and Mexico and Canada.
33:28And then there's the question of illegal
33:30the 107 illegal aliens living in the
33:32country. So you often hear people say,
33:35"Well, we sealed the borders." So Trump
33:37succeeded.
33:39Um I I don't think that's correct. I
33:41don't think that's what success is. But
33:44have the borders been sealed? The
33:46borders are under control more than they
33:48ever have been in my lifetime.
33:51However, when you don't have that
33:54interior immigration enforcement, that
33:56mass deportation, what does that do to
33:58your border? What does that do to the
34:00cartels and the transnational criminal
34:02organizations that are going to push
34:03people across that border? No defense in
34:05history's ever been 100%. None will ever
34:07be 100%. [snorts] What does that do?
34:10Well, you know, if I make it past those
34:12border patrol agents who are standing on
34:14the line facing south, I got a freebie,
34:17Tucker. I got a freebie. I got a freebie
34:19because if I get into the interior,
34:21there aren't no mass deportations
34:23occurring. There is the worst of the
34:25worst and the targeted criminal
34:27enforcement that sounds so great. What
34:30illegal alien crossing the border is
34:32going to say, "Well, gosh, I'm the worst
34:33of the worst. I better not cross." None
34:35of them think that. So, what that does
34:37to your border is that makes your border
34:41less secure. And you will see that over
34:43a period of time that they are going to
34:46try and come across that border and they
34:48will they'll succeed because all they
34:50have to do is make it into the interior.
34:53And once they make it into the interior,
34:54they're up against ICE. You ask what the
34:56difference between ICE and Border
34:58Patrol. ICE, fantastic. There's some
35:00patriots there. I love the ICE agents. I
35:02worked with them for that year. Tough
35:04individuals. They got a tough mission.
35:05But remember, that is your nonuniformed
35:10immigration officers, the ones that go
35:12into jails and arrest known criminals,
35:15uh, long-term investigations. They're
35:17your plain closed detectives. Tucker,
35:20would you send New York City police
35:23detectives into the most violent
35:25situation that New York has ever faced
35:27and said, "Well, you know, you're going
35:28to go tackle violent street crime now
35:31and our uniform police officers are
35:33going to stand by and do something
35:34else."
35:34>> No. Absolutely not. Well, that's what's
35:36happening right now.
35:37>> So, when did Border Patrol stop policing
35:40the interior of the country for illegal
35:42immigration?
35:43>> Well, most recently it was our surrender
35:45in Minnesota, but before that, you have
35:48to remember the US Border Patrol had
35:50interior border patrol stations.
35:52>> Yes.
35:52>> Places like Little Rock, Arkansas,
35:54Oklahoma City, Las Vegas, Amarillo,
35:57Texas, Dallas, Texas, all over the
35:59interior. It was because they were that
36:02interior
36:04immigration force when needed uh to go
36:07in and pacify a region, an area or a
36:09city so that them, those planecloed
36:12detectives who do a great job could then
36:15take a pacified area and keep it
36:17pacified. That's what this that's the
36:19way that whole thing has worked for 102
36:21years. That's been upended. That doesn't
36:23happen now. Why is that?
36:26>> Well, [snorts] you tell me. Why is that?
36:28When did that stop? uh Minnesota, you
36:31know, the great I call it the great
36:32surrender. The great surrender in
36:34Minnesota when Commissioner Rodney Scott
36:37and Tom Holman decided to come in.
36:39>> And who are they? Uh that's exact
36:41customs and border patrol commissioner
36:43Rodney Scott.
36:44>> And what's his background?
36:46>> Uh Border Patrol. Career Border Patrol.
36:48>> Okay.
36:48>> Career board should know should know
36:50what the Border Patrol is to be used
36:51for.
36:52>> And Tom Hman is who?
36:54>> He's our borders are uh a prior ICE
36:58official. spent his whole year with ICE.
36:59I believe he was a Border Patrol agent
37:01for about a year and then jumped on over
37:03to uh to the plane closed division
37:05there. So, you've got those two
37:07individuals that remember they were
37:10silent, completely silent for that year
37:13when those border patrol agents were
37:15battling it out in a two-front war in
37:18those cities. A two-front war. What's a
37:19two-front war? battling the bad people
37:21and bad things, the cartels and the
37:23illegal aliens and the criminals and
37:26then battling the Pritzers, the Nuomes,
37:29the Mayor Basses and the politicians.
37:33Where were they during that year? But
37:35then Minnesota all of a sudden they show
37:38up and say, "Hey, we're here to save the
37:39day in Minnesota." What was saving the
37:42day? Surrendering interior enforcement.
37:44They surrendered. That was saving the
37:46day. So, your interior enforcement
37:49stopped the day the border patrol was
37:51sent out of Minnesota.
37:53>> That was a decision that the president
37:55made.
37:56>> And I I you know, I can't say that was
37:59his decision because he didn't the
38:01president didn't consult with me on
38:02that. I understood that it was his
38:04>> Well, he announced it anyway.
38:06>> Well, he announced they were they were
38:07coming to Minnesota.
38:08>> Yeah. Um, you know, I think it's the
38:10president's team
38:12that has that conspiracy not
38:16to to conduct interior enforcement. It's
38:19that team. I think he gets some bad
38:21information. He's got some hellacious
38:23gatekeepers. I don't give him much
38:24credit for doing anything immigration
38:26related because they're doing nothing.
38:28But talking about a gatekeeper, in other
38:30words, someone that can control that
38:32information flow to the big man, they do
38:36one hell of a job. They're doing nothing
38:38really for immigration enforcement in
38:41inside the United States.
38:42>> No, it's some targeted enforcement. You
38:44hear an operation here, an operation
38:47there. There was one in Maryland. I
38:49think they had 1,200 arrests last uh
38:51last week. Something like that. What
38:53what that is is that's we're going to do
38:56an operation, spread that, splash that
38:58across the headlines and gaslight
39:01America into thinking that's what we do
39:03every single day all across the United
39:05States when nothing could be further
39:07from the truth. Walk out on the street
39:09and look. Walk out on the street. Walk
39:11to a Home Depot and take a look at
39:13what's in the parking lot of Home Depot.
39:15Does it look like there's mass
39:16deportations and interior enforcement
39:18occurring? Absolutely not. Because let
39:20me tell you, the illegal aliens sure
39:22aren't scared right now. Uh, not at all.
39:25So, the phrase dadbot is obviously a
39:28grave slur. It's a kind of gender
39:30racism, but it is kind of real because
39:33staying in shape grows harder as you get
39:36older. You work out, you eat, but you
39:38just don't get the same results. And
39:40that's where Mars Men comes in. Marsmen

40:43this has got to be the greatest
40:44portrayal in American political history
40:46because the whole Trump campaign of 2016
40:50and 2024 were about immigration and
40:53about reducing the number of illegal
40:55aliens in the country like that that was
40:57the whole campaign.
40:59So how many just let's just bottom line
41:01it if we can't I mean again to to the
41:03extent that we can know these numbers
41:06how many illegal aliens residing in the
41:08United States the day Trump was sworn in
41:10would you say
41:12>> uh for the sec for the second term I
41:13would say the 107 million then
41:15>> and how many now would you say there
41:16were in the country
41:18>> 105 million because Christine and the US
41:21border patrol did cause those
41:23self-deportations to occur during that
41:25year lines at the airport going south
41:29Like you wouldn't believe that's not
41:30happening now.
41:31>> You think so? You think there are about
41:33one and a half million self-
41:34deepportations?
41:35>> Approx. Approximately. Yes.
41:37>> How many deportations by force? [snorts]
41:41>> 5 to 600,000? Maybe.
41:43>> Maybe. Okay. So, you think that after
41:46all of that and all the drama that
41:49ensued that there are still 105 million
41:53illegal aliens in the United States
41:54right now?
41:55>> Absolutely. Absolutely. You bet. 105
41:58solid. Could be more than that even.
42:00Ducker,
42:00>> does anyone else know this?
42:02>> You know, um cuz if you got a population
42:04of 330, 340 million and 105 million
42:09illegal aliens, I mean, that's like the
42:12craziest number I've ever heard. You
42:14really think that's the real number?
42:15Absolutely. And you know, I guess you
42:17would know, right? Cuz you ran Border
42:18Patrol. Yeah. And one, seeing what's
42:21coming across the border and then
42:22juxtaposing that with what we saw in the
42:24cities and regions we were in. And then
42:27even taking a look at some of the
42:29numbers, something as simple as a a
42:31traffic pattern. Charlotte, North
42:33Carolina's got a fantastic example. Take
42:35a look at commuters going to work.
42:38Commuters going to work in Charlotte.
42:39When we arrived for that 5-day
42:40operation, Operation Charlotte's Web,
42:43the commute went from terrible to
42:47exceptional. So, we started doing some
42:48studies. I had the staff, hey, do a
42:50study on the traffic. Let's extrapolate
42:52some numbers. What does it take to have
42:54an exceptional commute to work? To do
42:57that, you need to remove about 30
42:59approximately 30 35% of the commuters.
43:04And they took it took a look at the
43:06number of commuters going I think it was
43:09yeah I want to say around 200,000 I
43:12can't remember the exact number now but
43:1430% what does that 30% equal? starts
43:17equaling that 107 million which is you
43:21know a similar percentage of the
43:23American population. What is that? Um
43:26you know 25% of the American population.
43:28So we looked at the commuters. Then we
43:30looked at absentee rates from Charlotte
43:32and Meckllinburgg schools.
43:3430%
43:36of students didn't show up in Charlotte
43:38Meckllinburgg. What does that start
43:40looking like? Look starts looking like
43:42the 107 million is a pretty accurate
43:43figure. We saw the same thing in
43:45Chicago. The same thing in Los Angeles.
43:47Los Angeles, that commute went from
43:51terrible to better than exceptional. How
43:54many commuters did we take off the take
43:56out of the the equation in Los Angeles
43:59to make that drive in America's worst
44:02worst traffic
44:05gettingon to make it really good? And
44:07they're like, "Wow, these commutes
44:08really good." Think about what that
44:10took. So, so we have a crowded poor
44:12country, which we do because of illegal
44:15immigration is what you're saying.
44:16>> I'm Yes, I am saying that 100%. I think
44:19that a majority of our problems are
44:22downstream of immigration, whether it's
44:24something as simple as a commute to
44:25work, but something more insiduous and
44:28more important such as affordability for
44:31housing for our young people. 107
44:33million people in our country, what does
44:35that do to housing? What does that do to
44:37welfare, jail, schools, hospitals? Um,
44:39what does that do to any service that an
44:43American citizen should think they have
44:46access to? It oludes it. Excludes it to
44:49the point where they don't have it. Take
44:50a look at our natural resources. I'm a
44:52big natural resource guy. I'm a
44:54conservationist.
44:54>> I am too.
44:56>> Look at what's happening to our natural
44:57resources. We had Teddy Roosevelt and
44:59Gford Pincho and they started that
45:02conservation movement along with
45:03Americans. That conservation movement's
45:06over a hundred years old now. It's been
45:08destroyed in many areas of the country
45:11in 10 years. A 100red years of
45:13conservation destroyed in 10 years.
45:15Entire ecosystems wiped out by illegal
45:17aliens. Look at the jinseng harvest in
45:20our eastern forests. Many of those poor
45:23mountain families from where I'm from
45:25there in the Appalachin Mountains
45:26harvested jinseng for hundreds of years
45:29since Daniel boom all the way to the
45:31mid1 1990s. They can't do that anymore.
45:34>> Why?
45:34>> It's been stripped. That jins sang has
45:37been stripped from those mountains by
45:39illegal aliens. Hey, you know what?
45:41Let's drop off 15 illegal aliens. We'll
45:44scour the entire mountain side, take
45:47every single bit of it in a
45:48nonsustainable harvest
45:50>> and take it off. But that's everything.
45:52>> I'm getting too upset. [laughter]
45:53>> Hey, hey, but Tucker, that's not just
45:55Jyn saying that's everything. So, I did
45:57a research paper on that back in 2012.
46:00They wouldn't let me publish it in the
46:01Border Patrol. It was destruction of our
46:03nation's natural resources by illegal
46:05aliens. Wouldn't let me publish it.
46:07>> Let me publish it. Why?
46:08>> You said it was too controversial. It
46:10told the truth. So, uh,
46:12>> it was too controversial for a border
46:13patrol agent to note that illegal
46:16immigration was destroying our natural
46:17resources.
46:18>> Imagine that. Yes. I tried several
46:21times.
46:21>> Just national suicide. That's obviously.
46:23>> Yeah. You bet. So, every facet of our
46:26our natural resources are under attack.
46:28You know, look, we're having water
46:30problems out west. Uh, they're telling
46:33us we're running out of water.
46:34>> We're running out of water. They're
46:35telling us we may have rolling blackouts
46:37because we don't have enough
46:38electricity. Everything is downstream of
46:40immigration. No pun intended, but the
46:42water problem out west. We can fix that.
46:46Oh, in about two years. Deport 107
46:49million of those illegal aliens taking
46:51your and my water and my resources.
46:54Problem solved. Where's Sierra Club?
46:56Hey, where's all the environmental
46:58groups? They don't seem to really care
46:59now all of a sudden. you know, I guess
47:00that's okay. You know, if it's illegal
47:02aliens, you're not, you know, not a
47:04problem. If Tucker Carlson or Greg
47:06Bavino drops a little bit of oil, you
47:08know, out of your car on the pavement,
47:10my god, uh, hells to pay. It's called
47:12the, uh, uh, the DSP, the double
47:15standard phenomenon, which is also rife
47:18in America. The double standard
47:19phenomenal aliens get a they get a pass.
47:23You don't because you're one of those
47:25dastasterly American citizens who is
47:28apparently uh the devil to the world but
47:30an illegal alien that actually uses
47:32those resources and hurt your culture,
47:35your species.
47:37That's okay. See it every day and I
47:39think you do too.
47:42>> Um I couldn't agree more and it's one of
47:43the reasons that I campaigned for Trump.
47:45That and no new foreign wars. Eating
47:47right's pretty important but it's hard
47:49if you live here. About half of the
47:51American diet is ultrarocessed foods,
47:54and that hurts you. Fake food harms your
47:58body, your mind, and especially your
48:00liver. So, people think that feeling
48:01sluggish and foggy and bloated is just
48:03what it is to be older. But that's not
48:05true. Eating crap makes you feel that
48:09way. Well, our friends at Dose have a
48:11solution. It's called Dose for Your
48:13Liver. This doctor approved plant-based
48:15liver supplement is clinically proven to
48:17promote liver function and lower [music]
48:19liver enzyme levels. That means you're
48:21less bloated, less tired, you feel more
48:24like yourself. All you need to do is
48:25take a daily 2 oz shot. Tastes like
48:27orange juice. An easy shot of liquid is
48:29not the vax.
48:31People we know use dose for your liver
48:33and they have seen rapid results in
48:34their blood work and they feel much much
48:37better. The difference is very obvious.
48:40Lots of brands claim to support liver
48:42health, but do so before their products
48:44have gone through testing. This has been
48:46tested. Everything checks all the boxes.

48:58Code Tucker 35% off. You're going to
49:01love it. The I just can't get past the
49:03betrayal of all of this. There are still
49:06105 and I think if you were to pull
49:08Trump voters and ask and I think a lot
49:11of them would say I'm disappointed by
49:12this or that but the one upside is
49:15immigration enforcement. I think if you
49:17told them that there are 105 million
49:20illegal aliens not green card holders
49:23illegal aliens have no right to be here
49:25living here in violation of the law and
49:26living in almost all cases on public
49:31support. I mean, whether it's schools,
49:34roads, hospitals, or direct support from
49:37the states, I think they wouldn't even
49:39believe you. I think Trump voters really
49:41think that the administration's done a
49:43great job on immigration because Fox
49:45News has told them that.
49:46>> Yeah. The gaslighting masterclass.
49:49>> Really masterass. Give me an example.
49:52>> Well, again, the operations that they
49:54conduct, hey, you know what? Um, largest
49:57amount of illegal aliens or largest
49:59amount of aliens deported.
50:02uh you know in the past 50 years just
50:04took place last week. Hey, what are the
50:06numbers? I can't seem to get the
50:07numbers. Your social media influencers
50:10can't seem to get the numbers, but
50:11they're sure touting the numbers out
50:12there. And what are the numbers? I
50:15haven't seen the numbers. If this is
50:18really happening, then how is it that
50:21250 border patrol agents on those
50:24interior operations pretty much shut
50:26down large sections of the country where
50:28we didn't see an illegal alien? They
50:30weren't going to hospitals, jails,
50:32schools, or anything else because they
50:34were either self-deporting or buttoning
50:36up. That's not happening now. So, if
50:40what you say is really taking place, you
50:42would see the effects. Every American
50:44citizen would see the effects like they
50:46saw it over that past year during
50:48Operation Large, Operation Midway Blitz,
50:50Charlotte's Web, Operation Catahula
50:52Crunch, and then the surrender in
50:54Minnesota. You would see that. You would
50:56see it with your own eyes. You know,
50:57it's not some ethereal concept to you
51:00can see that kind of thing with your own
51:02eyes. And American citizens that come up
51:04to us on the streets, came up to us on
51:06the streets and come up to me on the
51:07streets now, they say, "Gosh, it sure
51:10was a different story when you guys were
51:12out when the Mean Green team was out
51:14there on the streets taking it to them.
51:16Wow, everything was different. We
51:19finally had hope. You're not getting
51:21that now from people that are actually
51:25up against illegal immigration. Most
51:27especially, and this is key here, our
51:29young people, those young conservatives.
51:32Wow. Now, there are a bunch of
51:35individuals that are seeing this. I get
51:38more comments
51:40and more uh more rhetoric from them than
51:44anybody I have ever seen. They are not
51:47happy. their future they understand is
51:49being taken taken away. It has been
51:51taken away. And you know, Tucker,
51:53something very powerful here. One of
51:54those young uh young conservatives came
51:57up to me and said, you know, we've only
51:59heard stories of America. We've only
52:02heard the story of America. I'm like,
52:05what do you mean the story of America?
52:07We are America. There's no story. He
52:09goes, we don't know what America is.
52:11People like you tell us what America
52:13people like Tucker say, this is what
52:15America used to be like. We've only
52:17heard the story of America. That was the
52:19most powerful thing I've ever heard uh
52:22being a border patrol agent is this
52:24young person that doesn't even know what
52:25real America is because it's been taken
52:27from them. A lot of it through illegal
52:30immigration. And um you know, they
52:32better wake up. Some of these people
52:34that have betrayed us, some of those
52:37gatekeepers that I just talked to better
52:39wake up because there's a lot of
52:40pissed-off people out there, especially
52:42the young. They did a big part in
52:44ensuring that there was somebody in
52:47office that would take care of
52:48immigration. Very unhappy campers right
52:50now and I don't blame them a bit. They
52:52should be unhappy and they are
52:55sharpening spears dancing around the
52:57campfire right now.
52:58>> They have every reason to. Um, one
53:01measure of border security is the
53:04presence of narcotics that are
53:05manufactured outside the country. And co
53:07cocaine is one that um, cocaine is a
53:09pretty good measure because we don't
53:11grow cocoa here. So all cocaine, at
53:13least the the base, cocaine base, comes
53:15from outside the country, comes from the
53:17Andes. So in 1985, the average cost of a
53:21gram of highly impure cocaine, majority
53:24baby laxative cocaine, was $100 a gram
53:27and you had to drive to some sketchy
53:28area and roll down your window and buy
53:29it and risk your life. The price now in
53:33many American cities, particularly in
53:34Texas, is $50 a gram for almost totally
53:37pure cocaine that you can have delivered
53:38to your house within like 10 minutes. No
53:40risk.
53:42So that tells me that we don't have
53:45secure borders. If the price of cocaine,
53:47and that's not adjusted for inflation.
53:49Those are just the straight numbers.
53:51$100 in 1985, $50 now. So that's like I
53:54don't even know what the inflation
53:55adjustment would be, but that's like $5
53:58a gram, you know, in 1985.
54:03Clearly, we're not keeping drugs out,
54:05right? Exactly. Exactly. And that's
54:08where those mass deportations are so
54:10very important. That 107 105 million is
54:13so very important. We saw that in those
54:15cities. Look at the double-digit drops
54:17in crime in those cities. When those
54:19cocaine traffickers, when those those
54:22human traffickers, whatever traffickers
54:24couldn't traffic anymore, doubledigit
54:27drops in crime. When you take a We're
54:29not taking away the the people that use
54:31it. A lot of those are American citizens
54:33dumb enough to to do that kind of thing.
54:35But we're just going to remove everyone
54:38that traffics it that knows it's being
54:40trafficked has anything to do with with
54:41it being trafficked. We're just going to
54:43do away with them. Um I think he did
54:45start out really good. He was blowing
54:47some some drug boats up. The fentanyl
54:49fentanyl kills a lot of people. That's
54:50terrible stuff. Just like cocaine and
54:52anything else. Hey, that was good. That
54:54was taking place simultaneously with us
54:57in those cities taking it to the illegal
54:59aliens. Hey, that gave me hope. I was
55:01like, "Well, they're actually bombing
55:03boats in the water." Well, if you're
55:05going to take away Border Patrol from in
55:07the interior, are you really going to be
55:09that serious? Are you going to bomb a
55:11boat and do what Rodney Scott and Tom
55:13Holman do, do it one time, splash it
55:15across the headlines and say, "Yeah,
55:16we're really taking it to them." And you
55:18did one time.
55:19>> So, I'm a little bit confused. So,
55:21Homeman, who I've interviewed several
55:23times,
55:24says he's very against illegal
55:27immigration and has a pistol and a ankle
55:30holster and kind of seems [snorts] like
55:32a rough and ready, no BS kind of guy
55:36who's dedicated his life to fighting
55:37ille illegal immigration. You worked
55:39with him. Tell us, is that is that an
55:41accurate picture?
55:43You you know I'll tell you when you're
55:46going to lead an effort to do something
55:49like that
55:50>> inevitably and it's a musto you better
55:54have your ass out there on the front
55:55lines with your people bleeding next to
55:59them especially in the most violent law
56:04enforcement domestic law enforcement
56:06mission that's faced the US in its
56:08history the most. And I'm I'm even
56:10including prohibition in this one now.
56:12Um, where were these individuals during
56:16that year of
56:19pure unadulterated violence?
56:22I didn't see him. Where was Commissioner
56:24Rodney Scott missing an action? Where
56:27was Where was Tom Holman? Nice guy. Fun
56:30guy to talk to. Probably a great guy to
56:32have a whiskey with. Where was he? Ankle
56:35holster and all. Um, where were they?
56:38You better get your butt out there with
56:40your people. Bleed and be ready to make
56:43that ultimate sacrifice next to them.
56:45You're not too good. You're not too good
56:47to do that. None of you are. You better
56:50get out there and do that. So, I would
56:51pose that question back to you as my
56:53answer is, well, where were they? I
56:56never saw them. Not saw not once. Never
56:58even heard from them. Never had a
56:59conversation. Nothing. Silence.
57:02But they're not silent now. Uh, still
57:05not out there, but not silent. um more
57:08of a we're gonna take a soft approach. I
57:11guess maybe that's the the
57:12>> What does that mean? A soft approach.
57:15>> A soft approach means we're not going to
57:17be out there doing those general
57:19immigration raids. We're not going to
57:21conduct total spectrum immigration
57:23enforcement, which is what you have to
57:25do if you're going to win this battle.
57:27Total spectrum immigration. That means
57:29everything brought to bear against that
57:32enemy. In other words, we're talking
57:33about the war being fought on American
57:34soil. It's going to take a an effort
57:36like that. a total warfare. What they're
57:39talking about is a limited form of
57:42enforcement. Sort of like World War II
57:44versus Vietnam. What do we do in
57:47Vietnam? Well, you know, we're going to
57:48do some precision limited strikes here
57:50and we're not going to go total warfare
57:52and we're going to lose. Whereas World
57:55War II, total spectrum warfare. Whatever
57:58it takes, we do. So, that's what the
58:01soft approach is, is we're going to do a
58:03precision strike. Hey, a precision a
58:05precision strike. Tucker's never won a
58:07war, by the way. It won't. Let's do a
58:10precision strike there in Maryland. They
58:12did that last week. They got some good
58:13apprehensions as those ICE agents are
58:15the greatest. Love them. They're like
58:17border of a patriots. But that'll never
58:21win 105 million illegal aliens. You have
58:24to do something else. You're not going
58:26to put handcuffs on 105 million people.
58:29We've only got two years left to do
58:30that, by the way.
58:31>> [snorts]
58:32>> You need to encourage and mandate those
58:35self-deportations
58:37and those largecale efforts that it's
58:40going to take. It won't be neat, clean,
58:42and easy. Of course, it's not. We never
58:44said it would be. That's what you have
58:46to do. A soft approach is the opposite
58:48of that. Hey, it's Tucker Carl. We
58:50launched ALP about a year and a half
58:51ago, and people [music] are voracious
58:53for it. They can't get enough.
58:54Everywhere you go, you get the same
58:55question. When are you making more
58:57flavors? We are not in the business of
58:58disappointing people. [music] Instead,
59:00we're in the business of satisfying
59:01them. So, we have made at least three
59:04more flavors. [music] Introducing the
59:05Alp Frontier Collection. They are
59:08Campfire Cinnamon, Sunset Mango, and
59:11Cowboy Coffee. Available in 4 millig
59:14[music] and 8 mg. Because if you're
59:16going to use nicotine, you ought to have
59:17some options.
59:23Why not just enforce
59:26ID laws? Like, we have AI. So, like, how
59:29does anybody have a fake social security
59:30card or a fake driver's license?
59:33And yet, millions, tens of millions of
59:35people do. I I don't think I could get
59:38away with that. How were they allowed to
59:40get away with that?
59:41>> DSP, double standard phenomenon. It is
59:43alive and well in this country. Um, it
59:46it's one of those uninforced laws.
59:48>> But if you had a fake social security
59:51card and tried to open a bank account, I
59:54think you'd risk jail for that, right?
59:57>> Absolutely. Absolutely. You bet. But
59:59who's going to go after an illegal alien
1:00:02for that? When
1:00:03>> I don't know, the Trump administration,
1:00:04was he just elected to do this? Didn't
1:00:06he get the majority of the popular vote
1:00:07to do this?
1:00:08>> Yes. Absolutely.
1:00:10>> That's not violent. You're not shooting
1:00:11anybody. It's like you can't use fake
1:00:12federal documents. I'm not allowed to
1:00:14use fake federal No, I'm serious. Like,
1:00:16why is that? How can you get on an
1:00:17airplane if you're here illegally? I
1:00:20mean, they facial recognition at the
1:00:22freaking airport. Like, we're all
1:00:23totally monitored at all times. So, if
1:00:25you've got 105 illegal aliens in your
1:00:27country, someone wants them there.
1:00:28Someone in power like Donald Trump or
1:00:30whomever is making these decisions.
1:00:32Like, what is this? Yes. What is this?
1:00:35It's a farce. It is a farce. It's a
1:00:38farce. It's a slap in the face. And, you
1:00:41know, it's uh but we can still win it.
1:00:43Here's the thing, though. We can still
1:00:46win this. Well, you've got two years
1:00:48because the second I mean Democrats are
1:00:50about to take power in two months and at
1:00:52that point the chances that and you know
1:00:55you think Republicans going to win in
1:00:572028. I mean after this war in Iran. No.
1:01:00So you're going to they're all going to
1:01:01be legalized. That's it. And then you're
1:01:03just it's a totally different country
1:01:04for
1:01:04>> done. You're if that happens done every
1:01:07American.
1:01:07>> But how is that not going to happen?
1:01:08>> Well, we can still do it. We can still
1:01:11do it. Look, we've proof concepted how
1:01:15to do this in in the in the interior.
1:01:18One of the US Border Patrol leading
1:01:20efforts in the we the proof concepts
1:01:22there. It's just on a much larger scale.
1:01:25It's also bringing ma and pa America
1:01:28into the fight. Bringing the taxpayer
1:01:29into the fight. Remember that was
1:01:32something in our strategy that was well
1:01:36in motion. You've got to bring them into
1:01:38the fight. everyday citizens like a
1:01:40victory garden in World War II. We're
1:01:42going to do our part.
1:01:43>> But they think they've already won.
1:01:45They've been told by the administration
1:01:47and Fox News that you know that this is
1:01:49the upside of Trump. All the downsides
1:01:51is the upside. You got what you wanted
1:01:53out of immigration. Yeah. Well, I'm here
1:01:55to say um sorely mistaken and uh
1:01:58absolutely not. Um you've got you you've
1:02:02got you scratched the surface, but look
1:02:05around. you look around and see what
1:02:07that's like out on the streets. Look at
1:02:10what look at what our African-Americans
1:02:12are facing in those cities. I get so
1:02:14many calls for from conservative blacks
1:02:17saying
1:02:18>> you did the please come back to Chicago
1:02:21or LA or wherever because that was the
1:02:24only first and only time that our
1:02:27community is really truly
1:02:30had any assistance from from from
1:02:32anybody. They
1:02:33>> no one in charge cares about black
1:02:34people. They all absolutely
1:02:35>> their schools have been destroyed. The
1:02:36murder rate's out of control. They're
1:02:38being replaced by illegal aliens. And
1:02:39literally nobody cares.
1:02:40>> Nobody nobody cares. And their families
1:02:42have been here for 350 years. And nobody
1:02:44cares.
1:02:45>> Nobody gives a damn. Nobody gives a damn
1:02:46about that. But you know what I tell
1:02:47you? Pritser, Governor Pritser there in
1:02:51in Illinois, he had a he once we started
1:02:53in fourth ward and some of those wards
1:02:56and the black folks came out and were
1:02:58supporting us, you could tell they were
1:03:00getting a little edgy. They were like,
1:03:01uhoh, hey, they're on to something, you
1:03:03know. And what a great what a great
1:03:06story for a Holman or a Rodney Scott if
1:03:11they're going to sit back in a a safe
1:03:13seat in DC to talk about silence.
1:03:17Silence your own citizens coming out in
1:03:20force to support the US Border Patrol of
1:03:23all people of all people. And what a
1:03:27story. What a miss. What a miss by that
1:03:29bunch of gate guards. Unbelievable. Who
1:03:31are who are the gay guards? Uh, two of
1:03:34them there I've mentioned. Yeah. Two
1:03:35fantastic ones there. Like they're
1:03:36fantastic. Um, at guarding the gate.
1:03:39>> At guarding the gate. Guarding that
1:03:40information. You bet. I think if Trump
1:03:43knew what you and I were talking about,
1:03:45you know, I think if you or I could sit
1:03:47across from him and say, "Hey, here's
1:03:49the real deal that you haven't been
1:03:51getting, I think. You know what? I think
1:03:55he would actually reverse course."
1:03:58Because, and the reason I say this is
1:03:59look at what we did that first year once
1:04:02we started. Hey, we got calls from
1:04:04Trump. He called the Border Patrol. He
1:04:05called us. Man, you guys are doing
1:04:07great. Kick their ass. We've got your
1:04:10back. Kick butt. We're going to take
1:04:12this thing. He said that gate guards
1:04:16come in, you know. So, I think Caesar
1:04:18was probably up against that uh there
1:04:21many thousands of years ago. Same thing.
1:04:23You can see the the jackles and the hea.
1:04:26They always come in, nip at the nip at
1:04:29the the the tendons. And I think that's
1:04:31what happened. I think that if he was to
1:04:33hear what was really going on, hear what
1:04:35[snorts] Americans are thinking and
1:04:36saying, hearing those young people out
1:04:39there, and then hearing some of the
1:04:40conspiracies that have actually taken
1:04:42place under his watch by those
1:04:44individuals, he'd be like, "Wow, wait a
1:04:47second." Like what?
1:04:49>> Well, you know, uh, surrender in
1:04:51Minnesota. You know, um, people say,
1:04:53"Hey, Buffina, you retired."
1:04:56I did. I retired. That neat, clean, and
1:04:59easy. I was just a little tired and
1:05:01decided to retire. Hey, Tucker, I got
1:05:03some gas in the tank. There's a
1:05:04retirement there. If they want you gone,
1:05:06if those gate guards want you gone, you
1:05:09better watch out. They'll come for you.
1:05:11They will come for you. They'll come for
1:05:13your retirement. They'll come for
1:05:14everything. And um,
1:05:16>> did that happen to you?
1:05:17>> Absolutely. Every bit of the way. Every
1:05:18bit of the way. You know, when you play
1:05:20a hard game, you can expect hard
1:05:22treatments. I get that. But not a
1:05:25two-front war. Hard treatment should be
1:05:26me and the criminals.
1:05:29Not the two-front war of me and the
1:05:31folks that are supposedly your friends.
1:05:34You know, the minute I get the minute I
1:05:36the minute I left,
1:05:38security detail gets pulled. I'm that
1:05:41one of the highest, if not the highest
1:05:42threats in DHS, death threats. I mean,
1:05:45you name it, man, they're coming. Hey,
1:05:48take that kind of security detail. We're
1:05:49going to shut that guy up. Stroke of
1:05:52midnight came. Those Border Patrol
1:05:54agents refused to leave my house.
1:05:57And I had to direct order. Hey, no.
1:06:00You're you're you're leaving cuz I'm not
1:06:02in the Border Patrol anymore. And you
1:06:05know what? I knew this. I didn't say
1:06:06that to them. They'll come for you also.
1:06:09They'll come for you also. So the
1:06:11administration Yeah. Absolutely. Yes.
1:06:14You bet. But Anthony Fouchy still has
1:06:19federal security. We're paying Anthony
1:06:20Fouchi's security detail. He doesn't
1:06:22work for the government anymore. He
1:06:23spent the whole life on the federal tit
1:06:26and he still has Secret Service
1:06:29protection. Anthony Fouchy
1:06:32um who committed crimes. But you don't
1:06:35because the administration didn't want
1:06:37you want you to have security. Why? I
1:06:39>> I think to silence me because
1:06:41>> silence you like get you killed because
1:06:42that's what it sounds like. Do I think
1:06:44they want me dead at this point? Yes.
1:06:46I'm in a running battle every time I go
1:06:49out. I mean, every time. The citizens of
1:06:51my own community are like, "What is
1:06:54going on with you? These people come.
1:06:55There's some crazies out there. You
1:06:57know, you know this, Tucker. And you
1:06:59bet. Do I think they want me killed?"
1:07:01Absolutely. You know,
1:07:03>> the administration.
1:07:03>> Yeah. Absolutely. Or or more of the gate
1:07:05guards. I I don't think Trump would. I
1:07:07think if Trump knew what they had done
1:07:09and what they would do to Border Patrol
1:07:11agents or ICE officers or anyone that
1:07:13disagrees with them, I think he would
1:07:15have an absolute panic attack or a heart
1:07:18attack over something like that.
1:07:20>> But you think Homeman wants you gone
1:07:21dead?
1:07:22>> I think Rodney Scott, he's the one that
1:07:23took my security detail away with with
1:07:25Homeman there. Yeah, absolutely. You
1:07:26bet.
1:07:27>> Why?
1:07:28>> Uh, you know, that's a pretty heavy
1:07:30thing to say. And if I wasn't from
1:07:32Washington, I probably wouldn't believe
1:07:33you, but I do believe you since I am.
1:07:36>> Sure. Well, you know, I wouldn't have
1:07:37believed it either, but um with what was
1:07:40coming at me the minute I retired, I
1:07:43thought, well, yeah, I'll probably get
1:07:44some security there. You know, they're
1:07:46coming after other family members as
1:07:49well.
1:07:49>> Your family members?
1:07:50>> Absolutely. Through the mail. Uh there
1:07:53was one point where the FBI had to to
1:07:55intercept every single piece of mail
1:07:57because there were some bad things
1:07:59coming in the mail, that kind of thing.
1:08:01And just the vast amount of death
1:08:03threats. I got doxed yesterday by WBTV
1:08:05channel 3 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
1:08:08And
1:08:09>> in what way?
1:08:10>> Uh trying to name home addresses. They
1:08:12got the
1:08:13>> actually Oh, yes. Yes, you bet. Now,
1:08:16I've got a different address with my
1:08:18girlfriend out out at a different place.
1:08:20But they did do that. And when that
1:08:23happens over and over and over,
1:08:24>> what can you reame the channel again?
1:08:26>> A WBTV channel 3. Why would it be part
1:08:30of the news gathering process to put
1:08:33your home address on a TV channel?
1:08:37>> You know, I think that uh that's
1:08:38something that we saw in those cities
1:08:43with an absolute outofcontrol
1:08:46uh so-called news media. They're not a
1:08:48news media. Now, when they do things
1:08:49like they're not a news media, they're a
1:08:51a propaganda arm.
1:08:54>> They're an enforcement arm at that
1:08:55point.
1:08:56>> An intimidation arm. You bet. But the
1:08:58only problem is I'm not I'm not
1:09:00intimidated. I wouldn't be here talking
1:09:01to you. Uh hey, they tried to take my
1:09:03legal representation away or probably
1:09:05already who did.
1:09:06>> Uh that was Homman and the gate guards.
1:09:09Your legal representation. In other
1:09:10words, if you're sued for actions taken
1:09:15in your official capacity at Border
1:09:17Patrol, you don't get legal
1:09:20representation. You're supposed to
1:09:21absolutely. If it was under the
1:09:23performance of your duties under the
1:09:24color of law and you weren't doing
1:09:26something illegal,
1:09:26>> right? Yeah. then absolutely every
1:09:29minute of the day. But um apparently
1:09:31others don't see it that way.
1:09:33>> How do you know that?
1:09:34>> You know, I got a call from a another
1:09:36Border Patrol chief, a retired chief who
1:09:37got a call from them saying, "Hey, if
1:09:40you don't stop, we're taking it away."
1:09:43>> Stop what?
1:09:44>> Stop coming on Tucker Carlson. And
1:09:46>> pointing out that there's still 105
1:09:48million illegal aliens in the country.
1:09:50>> You bet. And um
1:09:51>> Homeman did that.
1:09:52>> Uh uh his people. Yeah, I can't say he
1:09:56did. his people. Yes. You bet.
1:10:00>> Again, I've interviewed the guy a number
1:10:02of times. I hope he'll come back. I'd
1:10:03love to ask him about this.
1:10:04>> Absolutely. Yeah. May maybe that would
1:10:07uh hell, I'd like to ask him about it.
1:10:09>> Have you talked to him since you left?
1:10:10>> No.
1:10:12>> So, I'd love to put a finer point. I
1:10:14mean, first of all, what you said is
1:10:15shocking. Everything you've said is
1:10:16shocking. Um, and really, really
1:10:19distressing and dark. If you think
1:10:21Homeman and this other guy want you
1:10:23dead, I mean, that's like that's
1:10:25unbelievable.
1:10:26>> No, proof's in the pudding.
1:10:27>> I think that's fair. But why? I'd love
1:10:31to know a little more precisely why
1:10:32they're so mad at you. [sighs]
1:10:35I think when we have big labor or I'm
1:10:38sorry, cheap labor politicians who are a
1:10:41very powerful force. I didn't realize
1:10:43they were this power. Very powerful
1:10:45force.
1:10:46um that puts a lot of pressure on some
1:10:49individuals and some individuals may
1:10:51maybe they want the lucrative contracts
1:10:53also. I don't I don't know. I can't say
1:10:54that for sure. But there's something
1:10:57there behind the scenes that causes that
1:10:59to happen. It doesn't just happen just
1:11:01for the hell of it. Let's have Bo dead.
1:11:03>> But not cuz voters want it. Voters
1:11:05wanted [clears throat] to get back to
1:11:07the sort of pre- lunatic American
1:11:10population.
1:11:11>> They don't want to live in a crowded
1:11:13poor country. Who wants that? Nobody
1:11:14wants to live in Bangladesh. So like
1:11:15this is nuts. And that's what voters
1:11:17wanted. That's why they elected Trump.
1:11:18That and no new foreign wars. And then
1:11:20the donors convinced Trump to fight a
1:11:23foreign war that voters did not want.
1:11:25And it sounds like don don donors also
1:11:29pushed Trump to stop immigration
1:11:31enforcement.
1:11:31>> Yes. You think that's true?
1:11:32>> I do. Absolutely. You bet. Um, I mean,
1:11:36look at some of the the politicians that
1:11:37came out against me or Christine Nome
1:11:40specifically after the surrender in
1:11:43Minnesota, the Kennedys out of out of
1:11:45Louisiana. McCall Representative McCall
1:11:48out of Texas.
1:11:50>> Yes. Why would they say those things?
1:11:52Like,
1:11:53>> what did McCall say?
1:11:54>> And I believe he said that we were um
1:11:56out of control and too aggressive,
1:11:59something like that.
1:12:00>> Do you find it interesting? So McCall is
1:12:02is a a a tool of the intel agencies, I
1:12:05happen to know. And I and I mean that
1:12:07and I hope he'll come on and explain how
1:12:09I'm wrong, but he knows I'm not wrong
1:12:10because I've talked to him about it
1:12:11directly. But I I have noticed a
1:12:14connection between the people who are
1:12:15like not very loyal to the United States
1:12:18and very into fighting wars on behalf of
1:12:21other nations. They're also very against
1:12:23immigration enforcement. I've noticed
1:12:25that. Have you noticed that?
1:12:26>> I have. And some of the people I and
1:12:28I've noticed that over my career some
1:12:30people that I would think, "Oh, they're
1:12:31going to be good on immigration." The
1:12:33worst. I remember when when Bush was
1:12:35elected, we were rejoicing in the
1:12:37patrol. We thought, "Oh, man. This is
1:12:38going to be great. He was just as bad as
1:12:40Bill Ray Clinton." Or worse,
1:12:42>> of course.
1:12:42>> Worse again, the two-f frontont war,
1:12:45stabbing you in the back while you're
1:12:46out fighting bad guys. Same thing now,
1:12:48except worse. even worse than
1:12:50>> but Bush was this very much like this
1:12:53administration, you know, spent all of
1:12:55its time, all of its our money, all of
1:12:57their energy fighting a war in the
1:12:59Middle East and then therefore changing
1:13:02the American population with illegal
1:13:03immigration at the same time.
1:13:05>> It's so weird. I don't understand the
1:13:07connection. All of it is bad for
1:13:09America. Maybe that's the connection. Um
1:13:11Tucker, this is in my opinion, of
1:13:14course,
1:13:15>> the greatest issue and greatest threat
1:13:17that our nation has faced since its
1:13:19founding. Of course, and I'm including
1:13:20the Civil War in that. I think the Civil
1:13:22War is child's play compared to what
1:13:24we're facing now because
1:13:26>> this ends it all. 105 million illegal
1:13:30aliens get amnesty and start voting,
1:13:33which it appears that uh you know the
1:13:35the Thillis, Tom Tillis's uh the
1:13:38McCall's and the rest of that gang want
1:13:40that. Um when they start voting,
1:13:43everything's gone. If you think your
1:13:45Second Amendment's it's gone. That
1:13:46Second Amendment's gone. Everything's
1:13:48gone. Everything that you hold dear,
1:13:49your culture, your values, traditions,
1:13:51everything. They don't care. You know,
1:13:53Tucker, they don't care about your
1:13:55history, nor the Americans, American
1:13:56history, because that which is gi Robert
1:13:59Heinland said it the best. He wrote
1:14:01Starship Troopers. That which is given
1:14:04has no value. That which is given has no
1:14:07value. We just gave them citizenship.
1:14:10They will hate you for that. They'll
1:14:13abhore you for that. They do abhore us
1:14:15for that. You can already see it. The
1:14:16entitlement mentality, it's not an
1:14:18entitlement. They just hate Americans
1:14:21because we're stupid enough to do it.
1:14:23And when you give someone something like
1:14:26that, they don't care if your granddad
1:14:28died at Deoima or your great great great
1:14:31granddad at Gettysburg or maybe you had
1:14:33a ancestor that was a founding father.
1:14:35They could give a damn about that. They
1:14:37don't care. When that ceases to be a
1:14:40reality here in our country and you're
1:14:43in my country, you're done. Right now,
1:14:47we're at the precipice of the greatest
1:14:50of of either solving or bowing down to
1:14:53the greatest threat that we have ever
1:14:56faced since the founding.
1:14:59>> I strongly agree with that. Um it seems
1:15:02very obvious and that's why there's so
1:15:05little national cohesion.
1:15:07Um the upside, however, for the people
1:15:09in charge is an immigrant population is
1:15:12much easier to control.
1:15:14They don't believe that the Bill of
1:15:15Rights is real or applies to them. They
1:15:17don't have natural rights. They don't,
1:15:19no one's told them what that is. So, you
1:15:21can kind of do whatever you want to them
1:15:23and call yourself the hero of the story.
1:15:25And you see it with rich people and
1:15:27their housekeepers who all secretly hate
1:15:29them. But they're totally convinced
1:15:31that, you know, Catalina loves me. I'm
1:15:33the hero to her. Uh there is a kind of
1:15:36psychology,
1:15:38the rich white lady psychology around
1:15:40this question. of the Democratic
1:15:41plantation owners, the new plantation
1:15:43owners. And um that's the way they even
1:15:45act like it. These elitists, these
1:15:47French-le liberal socialists act like
1:15:49that. Uh like plantation owners. Oh, I
1:15:52know.
1:15:52>> Uh it's it's absolutely amazing the way
1:15:55what they do. And you talk about racist.
1:15:57Holy cow. They're the worst.
1:15:59>> Yep.
1:16:00>> Yeah. No, they I've seen it so much.
1:16:06So how did when Christine left was
1:16:09forced out
1:16:11uh and then replaced by one of the
1:16:14slowest famously one of the slowest but
1:16:16certainly one of the most liberal
1:16:18members of the United States Senate Mark
1:16:20Wayne Mullen which he is he's extremely
1:16:22liberal and because he's from Oklahoma
1:16:24like nobody seems to get that but he is
1:16:26particularly in immigration
1:16:28and foreign policy I mean it's like
1:16:30giving it to Lindsey Graham how did that
1:16:32h why would you put Mark Wayne Mullen
1:16:35a liberal, a Kla Harris liberal in that
1:16:39role.
1:16:40>> Exactly. I think when we talk about
1:16:43those donors, that donor class,
1:16:45>> uh, getting someone confirmed,
1:16:48>> why would you not put a liberal and
1:16:49you're going to get enough votes from
1:16:50the crazy Democrats,
1:16:53uh, and then you're going to get the
1:16:55support from the big labor rhinos,
1:16:58just like they did with Commissioner
1:17:00Rodney Scott. He sailed through the
1:17:01confirmation, folks. You know what? He's
1:17:03bringing back Biden era individuals into
1:17:06CBP right now as we speak. The ones that
1:17:09let the 30 million in.
1:17:10>> Actually, yo, you bet. Yes. Does the
1:17:13White House know this? You know, I don't
1:17:15think I again I think the gate guards
1:17:17keep it so guarded. I don't think they
1:17:18know.
1:17:19>> Steven Miller, I thought he was this
1:17:20big.
1:17:21>> I don't know. Hey, Stevie, you bet. You
1:17:22got some work to do there, buddy. Got
1:17:24some work to do there, Stevie. But, um,
1:17:26I'm just confused because wasn't this
1:17:28the issue that defined them? Yes. Yes,
1:17:32it was. So that's how that's how someone
1:17:37like a a Mark Mullen is put into a
1:17:41position like that. There are a certain
1:17:43class of people that love a Mullen. Hey,
1:17:46you know, Mullen, what is he listening
1:17:48to? He's listened to Tom Holman, Rodney
1:17:50Scott, worst of the worst in targeting.
1:17:52That's really all he can that's all he
1:17:54can regurgitate. So that for people who
1:17:56haven't heard that talking point, that
1:17:59means we're going after the really bad
1:18:01ones.
1:18:01>> The really bad ones, worst, the criminal
1:18:03aliens, the terrorists, child molesters,
1:18:06you know, folks that have committed
1:18:08murder, whatever. The worst of the
1:18:10worst.
1:18:10>> People have criticized Israel, stuff
1:18:11like that. Really, the really bad, the
1:18:13ones who deserve the death penalty.
1:18:16>> Um, that's and and I will say that that
1:18:19is the opposite of what we should be
1:18:20doing. That is not a threat to your
1:18:22nation. Let me say this again. A lot of
1:18:25people think I'm crazy. That's not the
1:18:27threat to your nation is the worst of
1:18:29the worst. The threat to your nation is
1:18:30your run-of-the-mill
1:18:32illegal alien that we've just said, the
1:18:34105 million that don't share your
1:18:37cultures, your values, that don't care
1:18:40about anything related to America, that
1:18:42have been given cit that that want to be
1:18:45given citizenship. That's far more of a
1:18:48threat. Hey, we can get those criminal
1:18:50aliens anytime. That record's not going
1:18:52away. Uh, we can get him anytime.
1:18:55Anytime. Right now, we've got that
1:18:58window to get that regular
1:19:00run-of-the-mill illegal alien, maybe a
1:19:02landscaper. Maybe he doesn't have a
1:19:04criminal record in the US, even though
1:19:05he's still a criminal because he crossed
1:19:06the border illegally. They're all
1:19:07criminals. Uh, he probably does have a
1:19:10criminal record in a foreign country
1:19:11that we won't know about. But that is
1:19:13far more of a threat to you, me, and our
1:19:16values than
1:19:19an MS-13 gang member. certainly a threat
1:19:21to our justice system because I I'm
1:19:22like, "Why should I obey the law? Why am
1:19:24I going Why do I have a seatelt alarm in
1:19:26my car? [snorts]
1:19:27Constantly getting lectured about
1:19:29everything all the time from everybody
1:19:31in authority. $18 a pack cigarettes just
1:19:34like an unaffordable life
1:19:37and a a legal code that you have to hire
1:19:40a lawyer to understand whether you're in
1:19:42compliance. And you better know whether
1:19:43you're in compliance because you go to
1:19:44jail or get fined if you're not. And
1:19:47then 105 million people get to just like
1:19:50give the finger to the US code and
1:19:52nobody does anything about it. It's like
1:19:54why am I obeying the law? Like what? Why
1:19:57does that make sense? Not a lick of
1:20:00sense. But what it is is it's a litmus
1:20:03test. The litmus test took place over
1:20:06this past year with that interior
1:20:08enforcement campaign. Hey, you know
1:20:10what? We don't agree with that law. We
1:20:12don't agree with the immigration laws
1:20:13that are enshrined in the INA, the
1:20:15Immigration and Nationality Act and
1:20:17those court decisions and and the
1:20:19Constitution and everything. We don't
1:20:20agree with that, sir. We're going to
1:20:22riot and we're going to martyr whatever
1:20:25we've got to do because we don't agree
1:20:26with that law. That's a litmus test
1:20:28because if you don't agree with an
1:20:30immigration law and do away with it, do
1:20:32away with the Border Patrol surrender.
1:20:34You can do that with anything. You can
1:20:37do that with any law there. It's not
1:20:38just that one. It's just mob rules.
1:20:40Exactly. The most violent group gets to
1:20:42do whatever it wants.
1:20:43>> It does. You and me will pay the price
1:20:45if we do something right now. You're
1:20:47right. They'll be on us in a in an
1:20:49instant, but the 105 million, not so
1:20:53much. Back to the natural resources.
1:20:55I've interviewed many game wardens
1:20:57throughout the 50 states, and they said,
1:20:59you know, a lot of times we won't even
1:21:01write an illegal alien because one, we
1:21:03don't know who who he is. We don't know
1:21:05who this person is. Uh or if we do, he
1:21:08beats us out of court. He walks out of
1:21:10the courtroom before we even do. Nothing
1:21:12happens. I'm not going to waste my time
1:21:14doing that. Now, you or me, we do
1:21:17something wrong. You're done. You're
1:21:19done. And um
1:21:21>> Oh, try Oh, yeah.
1:21:23>> You're done. And um
1:21:24>> try shooting a rough grouse on a Sunday
1:21:26in the state of Maine.
1:21:28>> Yeah. As a as a legal resident.
1:21:30>> Yes. Yeah. No, I know. Um
1:21:33>> but gil net a 100 fish is an illegal
1:21:35alien. And that h that's what they're
1:21:37doing now because they see our natural
1:21:39resources as something for them not
1:21:41something to conserve, preserve or
1:21:43conserve. Gilnet gilnut. They'll just
1:21:46throw a gil net in the water. You know
1:21:48during this when I was writing this
1:21:49research paper I was abhored at actually
1:21:51what was happening. They'll gil net fish
1:21:54catch 50 of them when you actually gil
1:21:56net fish.
1:21:56>> Yes. And you or me our limit may be two
1:22:00or three or whatever the limit is.
1:22:01>> I don't kill any fish and I think I
1:22:02might shoot someone for gil netting.
1:22:04Like that's I mean I that's immoral and
1:22:06I'm I'm not for shooting anybody but I
1:22:08would be tempted to shoot someone for
1:22:09gil netting. That is so outrageous.
1:22:11>> It is happens all the time.
1:22:13>> Seriously?
1:22:14>> Yes.
1:22:15>> Yes. Uh you know I I wish I'd brought my
1:22:17paper. I'll send you a copy of my paper.
1:22:19>> I don't want to read it. And
1:22:20>> I'm so upset just hearing
1:22:21>> all facets of our conservation effort
1:22:24are under siege. All facets.
1:22:27>> Like destroying God's creation in our
1:22:30country.
1:22:30>> Yes. And destroying our sustainable
1:22:32resource. You know, we're we're we're
1:22:34sportsmen, sportsmen, sports women,
1:22:36because we have a sustainable system of
1:22:39producing us. But you know what? Tell me
1:22:40about it.
1:22:40>> Do you do you think that the third world
1:22:42gives a crap about that? No. Because
1:22:44they don't do it in their countries. So,
1:22:46they come here, see ours, they don't
1:22:47have to obviously pay attention to our
1:22:49law.
1:22:49>> What's the Trump administration doing to
1:22:51to fix the problem you're describing
1:22:53right now?
1:22:54>> Uh they're letting illegal aliens go
1:22:56during operations. They let 20 go in
1:22:59North Carolina 3 weeks ago. three weeks
1:23:02ago, last Sunday, uh on one of our wild
1:23:05and scenic rivers, they I think they
1:23:06apprehended 10, they allowed 20 to walk
1:23:11in one of those wild and scenic areas in
1:23:13which resources were being destroyed.
1:23:16>> Are you serious?
1:23:16>> Yes, absolutely. I tweeted about it or
1:23:18exed about it or whatever that is,
1:23:20tweeted about it and um they said their
1:23:22systems were down, their computer
1:23:23systems were down. probably these
1:23:25individuals were um not single male
1:23:27adults and would have been a little
1:23:28harder to remove or they would have had
1:23:30to um put females in detention and
1:23:33apparently, you know, you can't do that
1:23:34if you're an illegal alien female.
1:23:36>> Why do people go to detention? Why don't
1:23:37they just bring them to the border of
1:23:39Mexico where they all came from?
1:23:41>> Exactly. Or fly them right right from
1:23:42the spot. Exactly. I agree. Or put them
1:23:44on a big container ship and drive them
1:23:46across the ocean. Whatever you need to
1:23:48do. Yes. But they allowed 20 to walk.
1:23:50They won't answer that question. I posed
1:23:52that question. put it up on my ex.
1:23:54>> No wonder they want to kill you.
1:23:55>> Probably. So, yep. I think that uh uh if
1:24:00they could or not them, but if it
1:24:02happened, I don't think they'd be too
1:24:04sad.
1:24:04>> So, how exactly you said you didn't
1:24:06retire, you got fired. How did that
1:24:07work?
1:24:09>> You know, after Minnesota, um I returned
1:24:13to my sector and that was the El Centro
1:24:15sector. We call that the premier sector
1:24:16in the US Board of Got to give a plug to
1:24:18those folks out there. The premier
1:24:19sector,
1:24:20>> Central California.
1:24:21>> Yes. Uh that was the sector under Biden.
1:24:23>> It's east of San Diego
1:24:24>> between San Diego and Yume, Arizona.
1:24:26>> Y um
1:24:27>> it's a tough tough place.
1:24:29>> Rough place, but hotter the fire, harder
1:24:32the metal. That was your interior staff
1:24:35out of the El Centro sector. Those folks
1:24:39controlled our part of the border under
1:24:41Biden. You know, we didn't uh prescribed
1:24:43to throughput and decompression. That
1:24:45was push as many in as you can. Well, we
1:24:48didn't disobey orders, Tucker. We It was
1:24:50through pit and decompression the other
1:24:52way back into Mexico. And guess what
1:24:55happened? Nobody wanted to cross the
1:24:56border in El Centro. We smashed them,
1:24:59including the red Chinese and anybody
1:25:01else that came across the border. So
1:25:03anyway, uh I get back to El Centro right
1:25:06after Minnesota and the investigations
1:25:10begin and I'm thinking, what are you
1:25:14people doing? Hey,
1:25:15>> investigations of what? Uh, the first
1:25:17one that came down the bike was, you
1:25:19might remember the Chicago judge said
1:25:21that I lied in a courtroom.
1:25:24That's death for a law enforcement
1:25:26officer to lie. That's you're done.
1:25:29That's lack of cander. Yeah,
1:25:30>> they'll get you every time on that. As
1:25:32they should. You shouldn't lie.
1:25:33>> Well, I didn't lie in a courtroom, by
1:25:35the way. I'll set the record straight on
1:25:36that one. Told the truth every minute.
1:25:38But simply because a federal judge said
1:25:41that even though her entire decision was
1:25:45vacated by the higher court, they said
1:25:47what you what your whole ruling is
1:25:50ludicrous and you're actually
1:25:51constitutionally suspect by the way,
1:25:53which is should be death for a crazy
1:25:55judge. [snorts] But the investigation,
1:25:58hey, you know what? We're going to
1:26:00investigate you for lack of cander. Uh
1:26:03lying.
1:26:05And I'm like, huh? Wow. that that whole
1:26:08thing was vacated. What are you talking
1:26:10about? Doesn't matter. You're getting
1:26:12investigated. So, they sent that case to
1:26:14something called a DRB, disciplinary
1:26:17review board. DRB says, "You know what?
1:26:19That's a panel of leadership within
1:26:22Customs and Border Protection that takes
1:26:24a look at disciplinary cases. Highly
1:26:26unusual for the commissioner to send
1:26:28that case straight to a DRB with no
1:26:30investigation. The DRB, that review
1:26:33board, looks at it and says, "You know
1:26:34what? There's nothing here. We see
1:26:37absolutely nothing here. Send it back.
1:26:40Case should be closed. Well, that
1:26:42commissioner says, "You know what? Let's
1:26:44take another shot at him. I'm gonna
1:26:46weaponize internal affairs on this one.
1:26:48Hey, internal affairs, this guy lied.
1:26:50Open an investigation on him." When it
1:26:53gets to that point and they start coming
1:26:55after you like that, I've been in the
1:26:56federal government long enough to know
1:26:58what they're coming after your
1:26:59retirement. They're not just coming to
1:27:01fire you. They're going to take your
1:27:02retirement, your pension, everything.
1:27:05So, I get a lawyer and he says, 'You
1:27:06know, I've never seen anything like this
1:27:09before. Uh, you better get your ass out
1:27:12of the federal government real quick.
1:27:14Seriously? Yes, but I don't run too
1:27:17easy. And I said, you know, I think, you
1:27:18know, I think I'm going to fight this
1:27:19one because, hey, it's cut and dried. He
1:27:22goes, don't. You put a period on a piece
1:27:24of paper and they're going to say you
1:27:26lied. Um, and then the second
1:27:29investigation came down. You may have
1:27:30remembered the uh they accused me of
1:27:32anti-semitism.
1:27:34>> I don't remember that.
1:27:35>> Uh that was out of uh
1:27:36>> I think most Americans have been accused
1:27:37of anti-semitism.
1:27:39>> Yeah, of course. You know, another one
1:27:40they said that uh I made some
1:27:41anti-semitic comments to the US attorney
1:27:45there in in Minnesota.
1:27:47>> Did you? Absolutely not. Uh never I
1:27:50never talked to him when I made the
1:27:51comments. I was talking to some of his
1:27:53staff who quit the next day and then
1:27:56doxed me uh uh uh because they didn't
1:27:59agree with the way the border patrol or
1:28:01that the border patrol is even in
1:28:02Minnesota. It's crazy stuff. You can't
1:28:05believe this stuff happens. Well,
1:28:06anyway, they said, "Hey, anti-semitism."
1:28:09And the New York Times ran with it.
1:28:11>> What What did they say you said?
1:28:13>> They said that uh I said the the Jewish
1:28:16people were the chosen ones, but that I
1:28:17said it in a very sarcastic tone.
1:28:21I guess that must be anti-semitism, you
1:28:23know. I don't know. I was uh straight
1:28:25out of the uh uh Bible study from oh
1:28:28about 1976 in North Carolina. Hey, Jews
1:28:31chosen ones. I can say that all day
1:28:33long. That's not anti-semitism. I think
1:28:34it'd be the opposite if I said that. So
1:28:37anyway, we're in the kind of George
1:28:40Republican version of George Floyd here,
1:28:41though, where everyone is accused of
1:28:43some bias crime. You bet.
1:28:44>> Except it's now anti-semitism, not
1:28:46racism, because nobody cares about black
1:28:47people anymore. It's the same It's the
1:28:49same thing though.
1:28:50>> Absolutely. So, I didn't even know I was
1:28:52under investigation for this until the
1:28:54New York Times informed me, hey, uh,
1:28:57since you're under investigation for
1:28:59anti-semitism, would you like to make a
1:29:00comment? They called me and I'm like,
1:29:02what are you talking about? My own
1:29:04agency didn't even tell me. It was I
1:29:06found that out through the New York
1:29:07Times reporter that called
1:29:08>> under investigation for anti-semitism.
1:29:11>> The Trump administration did that to
1:29:12you.
1:29:13>> Yeah. CBP. Well, customs. I don't think
1:29:14Trump knew about it.
1:29:15>> No, but it's the federal administration.
1:29:17Yeah.
1:29:18>> So, I found that one out and I'm like,
1:29:20"Wow, this is uh this is this is
1:29:22interesting." So, then to make a long
1:29:24story short,
1:29:26some special agents show up at my house,
1:29:28say, "We, you know, uh start knock
1:29:30banging on the door like what's going
1:29:32what what's going on here?" My security
1:29:34team says, "We don't know what's going
1:29:35on. What's going on?" I didn't answer
1:29:37the door. I don't need to answer the
1:29:38door.
1:29:40They were there for my computer, which I
1:29:43was retiring the next day. They said
1:29:44they wanted it right that right right
1:29:46that minute. I never talk to them.
1:29:49They get the orders from somewhere in
1:29:51DC. Well, just go ahead and smash the
1:29:53guy's door in and make entry.
1:29:57Luckily, the US Border Patrol was there
1:30:00and said, "It's the way that thing
1:30:02works." And they got sent packing. That
1:30:05was what was happening there. It's time
1:30:07to retire. You know,
1:30:09>> this is so crazy. I can hardly and I
1:30:12mean as far as I know, you didn't do
1:30:14anything other than believe the campaign
1:30:17promises the rest of us believed in 2024
1:30:19and thought, "Okay, here's a chance to
1:30:22[snorts] do what voters have asked their
1:30:24government to do."
1:30:26Yeah. Hey, you know, when you're given a
1:30:28mission, you go hard at it. And no
1:30:30regrets there with the mission. Regrets
1:30:32with how I handled some of those gate
1:30:35guards and the administration. You know,
1:30:37I would like to I I think I could have
1:30:39taken a more active role in briefing
1:30:42Trump face to face on some of this. I
1:30:44think that had he known and saw our
1:30:47strategy, what the end goal was, how
1:30:51Americans were coalesing behind us, I
1:30:53think he'd been, "All right, great job."
1:30:55So, I could have done a better job on
1:30:57that. Um, you know, I think a lot of the
1:31:01individuals around him are non- border
1:31:02security professionals. They have no
1:31:04they don't know the difference between
1:31:05border patrol and ICE even. I don't
1:31:07think a lot of them even know the
1:31:09difference between US border patrol and
1:31:11ICE. Think it's all ICE. Oh, it's an ICE
1:31:13mission. Vastly different. What with I I
1:31:18never understood I mean you can tell my
1:31:20views on immigration. I think it's a
1:31:22disaster. It is a disaster.
1:31:25But I I was I never liked the idea of
1:31:27any federal agent wearing some kind of
1:31:30narco mask on the street. What was that?
1:31:32Um that was the doxing. Um that was
1:31:38the fact that they would take that agent
1:31:41that agent's face and say, "Hey, his
1:31:43mother and father live at such and such
1:31:46an address. He and his daughter live at
1:31:49such and such an address."
1:31:52And then people start showing up within
1:31:5524 hours. Um and the reason we know that
1:31:58one me I didn't wear a mask and you know
1:32:00man they were on me quick. There were
1:32:02some other agents that didn't wear masks
1:32:04and it happened to them immediately. I
1:32:07mean, within hours, but okay. Right. We
1:32:10also had like a mafia and all kinds of
1:32:13organized criminal elements in this
1:32:15country over centuries, which we kind of
1:32:17defeated. So, if there are organized
1:32:19groups threatening the families of
1:32:21federal employees, we should probably go
1:32:23after those groups. Go after the groups
1:32:25and the folks that fund those groups.
1:32:27You bet. Wholesale? I don't Why is that
1:32:29hard?
1:32:30Why is that a hard concept?
1:32:32>> No, I'm serious. Because then everything
1:32:33falls apart. That's not a partisan
1:32:35question. It's just like the system
1:32:37falls apart if no one can enforce the
1:32:40law because of threats from criminal
1:32:41gangs, right? Absolutely. And the
1:32:45anarchists in the streets.
1:32:47>> Yeah. But there's never been a
1:32:48systematic effort to fix any of that.
1:32:50And I don't know why.
1:32:51>> You know, there was uh the the the the
1:32:54one effort that I saw was that US
1:32:56attorney out of the central district in
1:32:58California. His name is Billy. What a
1:33:01patriot that man was. He actually did go
1:33:04after those individuals in California
1:33:06when we were in Los Angeles. And you
1:33:08know what that did? That really that
1:33:11really dialed down the violence against
1:33:14our effort in those cities, dialed the
1:33:16riots down, dialed the the crazies down
1:33:20because he was actively going after them
1:33:22and prosecuting them. He he got some
1:33:24fantastic prosecutions. that's been lost
1:33:27in in in in in the narrative somehow. Uh
1:33:31what a success that man was. We had the
1:33:34opposite in in in the other cities is
1:33:37you know what we're not we're going to
1:33:38wait till till they leave and just not
1:33:41do anything because you know my gosh
1:33:42this is scary and you know there'll be
1:33:44awful lot of prosecutions and my
1:33:46gracious but the FBI there in in central
1:33:51district Los Angeles they did a
1:33:53fantastic job they proof tested that
1:33:55concept it can be done they did it the
1:33:58FBI along with uh w with uh that US
1:34:02attorney they kicked Uh, but there were
1:34:04a lot of other US attorneys that were
1:34:06patently against us. Some of them
1:34:08actually got fired under the Trump
1:34:10administration.
1:34:10>> Well, I would hope so, but you should be
1:34:14able to enforce the law. I mean, what's
1:34:17the point of the system if you can't do
1:34:18that? And by the way, I do think I get
1:34:21why people want to wear masks. I get why
1:34:22they're afraid. But I also feel like you
1:34:25seed you give up some legitimacy when
1:34:27you do that. Like when you're enforcing
1:34:29the law as a federal law enforcement
1:34:31officer, you're standing behind laws
1:34:33that the Congress passed elected by the
1:34:36people of this country. Like you are the
1:34:39front line in a system that we all hope
1:34:41is legitimate. If you can't show your
1:34:43face in public, I don't know. I mean,
1:34:45what what message are you are you
1:34:47sending? We can't control our own
1:34:48country. We're not legitimate enough to
1:34:52defeat like domestic insurgencies
1:34:54against us. I like what are you saying?
1:34:56It's such a expression of weakness. I
1:34:59guess it freaks me out.
1:35:00>> Does that make sense?
1:35:01>> It it does. And then again, why do we
1:35:04allow anarchy to take place in the
1:35:08streets in the face of law enforcement
1:35:10and normalize it? Why is that allowed to
1:35:12be normalized? And well, only certain
1:35:14kinds of anarchy are allowed to be
1:35:16normalized, the ones that the donors
1:35:18prefer. But most people are not for that
1:35:21at all. And if you were to have like a
1:35:22mass protest against election theft or
1:35:25illegal immigration, it' be shut down
1:35:27immediately by the same people who allow
1:35:29Black Lives Matter protests to destroy
1:35:31our cities.
1:35:32>> Yes.
1:35:32>> Right. So, it's it's it's like a
1:35:34selective enforcement. And I think it
1:35:36all goes back to the root cause, which
1:35:37is the richest people in the country are
1:35:39trying to destroy the country
1:35:41>> or they don't care or they just or they
1:35:42don't care. They want to get richer and
1:35:44they'll do it on the backs of you.
1:35:45They'll step on the dead bodies of their
1:35:47citizens to get there.
1:35:48>> 100%. I wish I didn't think that, but I
1:35:51do think that
1:35:52>> because the evidence is in. Don't you
1:35:54think
1:35:55>> it's it's getting irrefutable at this
1:35:58point to have what's happening in our
1:36:00country take place now? Uh I wouldn't be
1:36:03speaking if you had said you're going on
1:36:05Tucker and you're going to say what I
1:36:07just have said. I have said you're
1:36:09absolutely crazy. I was going to put
1:36:10this in the book, but you know, it needs
1:36:12to be said now. It needs to be said now.
1:36:14If you told me when I was, you know,
1:36:16speaking on Thursday night at the
1:36:18Republican National Convention,
1:36:19introducing Trump that two years later I
1:36:24would be talking to a former federal
1:36:26official about how he betrayed the
1:36:27entire country in immigration or his
1:36:28administration did. I'd be like, I don't
1:36:30think that that that's not possible.
1:36:32I mean, this whole thing is so shocking
1:36:34to me. I can't believe it's happening.
1:36:36>> Yeah. Well, you know, I think it shocked
1:36:37a lot of Americans. They thought there
1:36:39was so much hope out there. And that's
1:36:42probably one of the greatest one of the
1:36:44the most heart-rennding messages I get
1:36:46is there was so much hope with what was
1:36:49happening in those cities. We watched
1:36:51you guys, the green team, every night
1:36:53and we we thought we're there. Hey,
1:36:56we're taking it back. Even Europe, you
1:36:58know, I've been going to Europe quite a
1:36:59bit here lately, talking to those folks
1:37:01with the remigration summits and and
1:37:03Restore Britain and and and that type of
1:37:06thing, and they they said the same
1:37:07thing. We've got the same problem with
1:37:09the same solution. We watched what was
1:37:11happening starting in Los Angeles. Every
1:37:14night they were glued. They said, "Man,
1:37:15there's hope. Look at this. This is
1:37:17really going to happen and it's going to
1:37:18start happening in Europe. And then all
1:37:20of a sudden, lights out. The light
1:37:23switch was turned off and it all ground
1:37:25to a halt. All that hope ground to a
1:37:28halt. And you know, it's it's shocking.
1:37:32You just said you're shocked." I'm
1:37:33shocked. I would never have thought that
1:37:35would have happened. You know, the
1:37:37momentum was building and then the light
1:37:39switch went out. We went into darkness.
1:37:43>> What do you think happens next?
1:37:47I have great faith in American
1:37:49exceptionalism. Um, people like Tucker
1:37:51Carlson, people like this, young
1:37:53conservatives, as young people, you're I
1:37:56think you're going to start seeing a lot
1:37:57of young people in campuses and
1:38:00throughout the United States standing up
1:38:03saying, "Wait a second. We've had
1:38:04enough. We want the story of America
1:38:07back. We want to make the story of
1:38:09America. We want to know what America's
1:38:10like. We're done with this. And I think
1:38:13there's going to be a lot of pressure
1:38:15put on the donor class, on President
1:38:18Trump and many of these and the feckless
1:38:20bureaucrats that I've just talked about,
1:38:21those gate guards, those worthless
1:38:23gateguards.
1:38:25And you know, I'm always an optimist.
1:38:27I'm always an optimist. Never be a
1:38:30defeist. We've been up against some dark
1:38:32times before in this nation. Maybe not
1:38:34this dark, but we have and we've always
1:38:36came through. I think that you or I
1:38:39wouldn't be talking if if we thought it
1:38:41was done. You know, I think that uh
1:38:44despairs for those who see the end
1:38:46beyond any doubt. I'm not in despair
1:38:48yet, but
1:38:51we're rapidly that the window's closing.
1:38:54And I think that as long as we're uh uh
1:38:57talking about this and that people care
1:39:01and that there's still enough Americans
1:39:03here ready to do what it takes, we can
1:39:06write the ship. We can do it. Maybe it
1:39:08takes off tomorrow. That spark has to be
1:39:10lit. Hope you light the spark, Tucker.
1:39:13>> Greg Vino, thank you very much for doing
1:39:15this. I appreciate it.
1:39:16>> Pleasure has been mine, sir.
1:39:17>> Boy, you upset me. [laughter]
