Speaker 1 (00:03):
Warning you're up about to enter the arena and join
the Battle to.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Save America with your host Sean Parnell.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good evening, America. Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the
show that kicks ass and takes names and locks horns
with the radical left. We never quit, We never surrender.
From sea to shining scene, everybody in between. Welcome Patriots
on this Monday and a glorious Monday. It is look.
(00:37):
I gotta tell you. The title of this episode is
Trump is flooding the Zone. And I know that there
have been lots of people out there talking about this
already ready. Dan Bongino is one of them. Trump is using,
you know this as a tactic, put stuff out there
as fast as humanly possible. Media doesn't know how to
cover it, make their head spin. Usually what the media
(00:59):
will do is, you know, lock in on something or
someone and just relentlessly attack that one singular thing in
an attempt to change the narrative. Right, This is a
Lensky tactic. You know, you fix on something and then
you define it publicly, and then you stay on that
(01:20):
narrative relentlessly. This is in his book Rules for Radicals
what Trump is doing. Is clearly the way, Like this
is a case study for any Republican out there who
would run for president after Trump. And as many members
of the battle crew know, like, this is something that
(01:40):
I you know, obviously Trump is the best president of
my lifetime. And it's not even close. What this man
had to do to win the first time was nothing
short of a miracle. The second the second time, you know, folks,
to tell you, I got to tell you, to say
it was a miracle seems almost like an understatement. This
(02:01):
man defied all all the odds to get to where
he is and I gotta I gotta tell you, like
this is a tactic that he's using. He's clearly learned
from his first go around in the White House. But
also what's interesting about this is that, yeah, I just said,
Trump went through a lot to get to the Again,
huge understatement.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
For four straight years he had time to think about,
along with his inner circle guys like Steven Miller and
Rick Grennell and Cash Fattel, to think about the stolen election,
had four years to think and reflect about, reflect about
what he would do differently when he got when he
gets back in the White House, should he get back
(02:47):
in the White House, and it seems to me, you know,
part of the reason they've been so disciplined in these
first seven days or so in the White House is
because they came in ready to go. And when you
heard on the campaign trip, you've heard Trump say this
and also again guys like Steven Miller, Cash Hotel, Rick
(03:08):
Cornell and other surrogates on the media saying that Trump
learned a lot from last time. And boy were they right.
Trump is that Trump two point zero is very, very
different than Trump one point oh. And I have to say,
you know, Susie Wiles, I think gets a ton and
I mean a ton of credit for the way that
(03:31):
this operation is running. And boy does she compliment President
Trump well. And of course, Susy, while she's the chief
of Staff of the White House, the first woman to
ever occupy the position. So to all the media hacks
out there that sell Trump's misogynist that hates women, well,
for a guy that hates women, he sure does. Sure,
he sure does appoint a lot of women to his
cabinet in critical leadership positions in his White House. So
(03:56):
as we get the show started, I'm looking at my
show run down here and Mike computer in front of me,
and I've got like probably twenty pieces of sound. And look,
I mean, these Monday shows are always tough because you know,
you pull sound from Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, and then
you go into Monday. You got all the sound from
(04:16):
Monday all day and so you end up on Mondays
with a lot of sound. So sometimes it's hard to
get through everything. But also that what makes it really
hard is that Trump has just been doing a lot.
So we're we're gonna talk about everything that happened over
the weekend, and we're gonna talk about I think where
the media is taking us and the things that are
happening right now that you need to be concerned about.
(04:39):
But two huge stories that are I'll tell you they
have not been reported enough. You think they'd be headline
news everywhere, but they're not. But these are DJ stories.
And the DJ officials involved in prosecutions have of Donald
Trump have been fired. I think upwards of twelve dojooyees
(05:00):
who work directly with the Bed Eyed Little Freak special
counselor and Jack Smith, they've all been let go. And
as the Trump administration is calling it, a special project
has been launched to investigate prosecutors who charged January sixth
defendants with fifteen twelve CE obstruction charges. Now, of course,
(05:22):
remember the fifteen twelve SE charges. They were dismissed by
the United States Supreme Court. They were a perversion of justice,
a way to enhance people's sentences, to give them what
should have been maybe you know, a slap on the wrist,
you know, maybe home confinement within an ankle bracelet at
the most. But it's a way to enhance what were
misdemeanor charges like unlawful parading, enhance them to federal offense,
(05:47):
a federal offense. Well, the Trump administration is not resting
on their laurels here either, and set up the Special
Task Force to investigate people who were involved in these shameful,
disgusting prosecutions of Jay six ers. And by the way,
you know, Trump issued a blanket pardon for all of them. Good,
I say good. What happened to those people, even the
(06:10):
ones that were quote unquote violent or attacked police officers. Well,
many of those people spent you know what, three years
behind bars, Some of them spent a long time in
solitary confinement. To me, that's enough, right, You don't need
to be spending twenty thirty years behind bar. You know,
I think in Rico Tario that I don't even know
(06:30):
who the Proud Boys are, but I guess he was
affiliated with the Proud Boys. Got twenty years or something
like that. He wasn't even at January sixth. So you know,
I'm completely on board with the JA six pardons. But
the critical point here that I'm trying to make and
then we'll move on because I've got a lot to
talk about. But I've said it before and I'll say
it again. This is not about retribution. This is not
(06:55):
about revenge. This is about ability. This is about making
sure that this shameful period of law fair that happened
under the Biden Department of Justice in merrit Garland never
happens again without some form of accountability to basically say
(07:19):
to everyone who is involved, and then Democrats who would
use this as a strategy after Trump, that there will
be serious consequences for those who twist and pervert our
legal system and wage lawfair against our fellow Americans. I mean,
it's absolutely important, it's critically important if we don't have
(07:42):
a sense of accountability for all the wrongs perpetrated on
the American people that the Biden administration committed. I'm just
telling you, folks, that does not lead to a good place.
You know. So much of what we're going to talk
about is Trump focusing on the border. You know. President
(08:02):
Trump is laser focused on locking down the southern border
and using American military assets to protect our sovereignty as
a country. You know. Part of that conversation around you know,
and to me, it's not a conversation. You're an illegal alien,
you come into this country, your first act is committing
a crime. You've got to be held accountable. You or
(08:23):
I would be held accountable for committing for committing crimes.
But it all comes back to accountability. We as American
citizens are held to a different standard than people who
aren't citizens of this country. And that needs to stop.
And President Trump is on a path to stopping that
right now. Something else that just broke right before the
(08:44):
show is US border agents were fired at by the
cartel shot at near front in Texas as illegal aliens
were being sent back over the border. Border agents returned fire.
No one was hurt, thank god, but the legal aliens
who were sent were supposed to be sent across didn't
(09:04):
actually go so in that regard, the cartels were successful
when stopping illegal aliens being sent back into the Mexican border.
And the other crazy thing that's happening right now is
that drug cartels are threatening American military planes carrying illegal
aliens back to their home countries right now. So these cartels,
(09:26):
you know, Trump, President Trump designated them as terrorist organizations.
It's a positive first step because not only does it
does it free up what we can do operationally to
target them, but it also from a regulatory standpoint, allows
banks or puts banks that that bank with these cartels
puts them in a very tough spot as well. But
(09:49):
the cartels, I'm telling you, and I've said this many
times before on the show, this is they will not
go quietly into the good into the good night. They've
got they're well trained, they've got great gear. They're gonna
fight back. And I think we're seeing the beginnings of
this right now. I mean, look at this report from
Bill Malougan from Fox News on this cartel report on
(10:12):
what happened today on the southern border. Watch listen for yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Just across the river yards from US Soil cartel gunmen
stroll along the river bank armed with rifles. They control
the border in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Some aim AK.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Forty seven's at Texas DPS helicopters. Others go to war
with each other with Texas DPS thermal drone video showing
cartels throwing explosives at each other during a battle for
control of the area.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
All the activity that's been happening, all the violence has
been taking place right across the river, within several hundred
yards when we're at right now.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Texas DPS is Lieutenant Chris Olivarrez tells Fox. In October,
Texas had enough. The state declared frontin Island Texas property.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
And begin bulldozing it all of it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Brush was cleared, razor wire was the play, and the
area was fortified. This is what it looks like now,
a one hundred and seventy one acre barren landscape now
secured by Texas with Texas troopers on patrol and Texas
National Guard soldiers deployed with loaded weapons. This is one
of the cartel buildings directly across the river from US
(11:17):
in Mexico. You can see cartel graffiti on it, as
well as bullet holes riddling it. Here on the US
side of the river. You can see what Texas has
done with Frontin Island. They have completely cleared it out.
They've deployed razor wire, and there is now nowhere for
these cartel gunmen to hide if they want to cross
here illegally.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
These carto operatives have no fear of the federal government
because they know there's no consequences. And the fact that
they have allowed the Mexican drug cartels to gain operational
control of the border. That's why the state of Texas
is stepping in so we can regain operational control.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
In front In Texas, Bill Malujin, Fox News.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
So there's a lot of to take I don't usually
show news reports on my show, you know, I would
show clips and sounds of what people say, but usually
not news reports like that. But there's a lot there.
And I was reading some reports this weekend that the
(12:18):
cartels all across the southern border, like the border the
southern border of Arizona, the cartels have infiltrated and infested
many of the counties in southern Arizona and control the
flow across the border there. They maintain operational control of
(12:38):
our southern border. I mean folks, this is unprecedented. This
is a hostile foreign power to me, hostile foreign terrorist
organization that controls our southern border, by the way, all
made possible by these by these democrats over the last
(13:01):
four years, the Biden administration, MAJORCIS and everybody else allowed
this to happen. And look, they had the power to
stop it, but they did not. To me, again, this
is the definition of treason allowing this country to be invaded.
The first and foremost responsibility of an American president is
(13:23):
to keep the American people safe and to repel an invasion.
In these cartels, they have infiltrated every state in this country.
Trend de Agua, and some of these Venezuelan gangs or
these South American gangs or Central American gangs, they are ruthless.
They are gaining, and they are gaining and maintaining actual
territory in this country. And they are coordinating not just
(13:48):
with the cartels, but with potentially other hostile forces to
do harm to Americans. I'm telling you, folks, it has
to stop. Okay, we're gonna get right back into this.
Let me take a quick break. Okay, let's get back
into it. Oh, by the way Battle Crew. I didn't
say this, but make sure you smash that like button,
(14:09):
that little green thumb beneath the video. And Michael, I'm
looking at the live chat and you say I look
better now than I do in that photo. And yes,
Salty Mama is a Sean update that pick con Wolf
is saying baby face. Sean Wiser said, you look better now.
(14:30):
You're beefed up. Sue says, I prefer the beard. I
prefer the current spec option. Oh, Ultramaga, what we need
is for you to become part of the Pete Crew. Ultramaga.
You want me to be at the Pentagon with the
Pete Crew. Oh man, you all are salty Mama, she says.
(14:53):
She says yes, and stay in. Salty said, you look
sassier now. Oh I look sassier now. See so when
you see me, when you when you look at me,
what you think is sassy? Sean Parnell is sassy. If
that is what you think, that that I have got
(15:15):
to reevaluate my entire persona if people think that I
am sassy. If you if you stop watching this show
or listening to this show and you say, man, Sewan
Sewn is sassy, he is sassy that I gotta do something. Okay,
(15:37):
So here we're gonna here's we're gonna do. We're gonna
smash that like button, the little gray thumb beneath the video.
When you smash it turns green helps us make the
leader board. So go ahead and do that. But I
want to talk about what happened with President Trump and
the President of Columbia, and then we're gonna go right
back into another immigration fight. Flight. Uh uh, the immigration fight.
(16:00):
Oh it's Monday, okay. So over the weekend, like a
really crazy thing happened. We started sending criminals back to
their home countries. We had two military aircraft land in Columbia. Now,
the Colombian government and the Colombian president approved these repatriation
(16:22):
flights prior to them taking off here in America. When
they were in mid flight, the Colombian government said, nope,
we're going back on our promise and turned those military
flights away and wouldn't take the criminals back into their
own country. So Trump, seriously, while he was on a
par five golfing, gets on his phone, like I'm not
(16:45):
even exaggerating. I watched this happen in real time. It
was crazy He gets on his phone a couple hours
after hearing that and puts out on truth social exactly this,
and I'm going to read it because it's just so
rare for an American president to take decisive action like this.
I'm just gonna tell you this is why he's one
of a kind. But he said, I was just informed
(17:07):
that two repatriation flights from the United States with a
large number number of illegal criminals were not allowed to
land in Colombia. This order was given by Columbia's socialist president,
Gustavo Petro, who was already very unpopular amongst his people.
Petro's denial of these flights has jeopardized the national security
(17:30):
and public safety of the United States. So I have
directed my administration to immediately take the following, urgent and
decisive retaliatory measures. Seriously, this is unprecedented and awesome for
an American president. An emergency twenty five percent tariffs on
(17:51):
all goods coming into the United States. In one week,
the twenty five percent tariffs will be raised to fifty percent.
A travel ban in immediate visa revocations on the Colombian government,
officials and all allies and supporters. Visa sanctions on all
party members, family members, on all party members, family members
(18:14):
and supporters of the Colombian government. Enhance customs and border
protection inspections of all Colombian nationals and cargo on national
security grounds. The IEEPA, treasury, banking and financial sanctions to
be fully imposed. These measures are just the beginning. We
will not allow the Colombian government to violate its legal
(18:37):
obligation with regard to acceptance and return of the criminals
they forced into the United States. Wow. Just wow. I'm
telling you you know, here's the thing. There's going to
be an adjustment period for many of these countries, folks,
(18:59):
because for decades, and yeah, I do mean decades, these
countries have seen America as a dumping ground for their criminals.
I mean, I know that people on this show want
of a problem with me saying that, but there are
other like corporate media outlets, people that have had their
(19:21):
head in the clouds. I'm just telling you Trump is
right when he's saying that these countries are dumping their
prisons here in America. If you could empty out your
prison population into a country that was dumb enough to
take them, so that the prison population didn't have to
live on your taxpayer's dollars. What would you do? Of
(19:43):
course you would do this. This is why Trump has said.
Trump has said this from the campaign stage. I understand
why they do it. There's a country out there dumb
enough to take all these criminals, Like, why wouldn't you
take advantage of it? Well, what President Trump is saying
that America is not dumb any laws longer, and We're
not going to put up being a dumping ground for
your criminals. And I don't care what anyone says. We
(20:06):
do have one of the dumbest immigration policies in the
history of the world. No other sane country would do
or allow what we allow here in this country. And
what the left does. They do it all the time,
and I refuse to let them do this to me
or here on this show. But they conflate a legal
immigration with legal immigration, and they say Republicans are against immigration.
(20:28):
Nothing could be further from the truth. We are the
most generous country on the face of the planet and
let in a couple million legal immigrants every single year.
I don't have a problem with any of those people
coming in the right way. I draw the line at
people coming here illegally, and the problem has gotten so
much worse over the last four years. It's out of control.
(20:50):
So Columbia responded to Trump and essentially, we'll use the
presidential plane for migrant repatriation amid US deportation dispute. In
a dramatic turn of events, Columbia has decided to deploy
its presidential plane to Honduras to retrieve migrants rejected by
the US following a diplomatic spat over deportation protocols. Rather
(21:14):
than allow the US planes the two US planes that
were in route, President Gustafo Petro initially refused to accept
US military flights carrying Columbia nationals, even though he had
previously approved them, prompting President Donald Trump to impose steep
tariffs on Colombian goods. In response to those sanctions, Petro
announced that Colombia would ensure the dignified return that parts
(21:38):
in quotes of its citizens using the presidential aircraft. This
move comes after the US had already sent deportation flights
to Guatemala and Honduras, highlighting the tense dynamics of international
migrant policies. So Trump does all this, and he shares
this this is our president. Look at this. I just
(22:07):
think it's funny. This is from the President of the
United States. Is true social account and behind it there's
a sign that says, f around and find out. FAFO,
f around and find out. And beneath it for our
friends who are just listening, is a smiley face and
Trump with a little hat on saying f around and
(22:30):
find out. See, folks, this is This is to me,
the definition of what it means to be a leader.
And I mean it. This country has been plagued with politicians.
You know, politicians. Yes, Trump is a politician, but Trump
(22:53):
is actually a leader. He's been a leader in his
private life, his entire life. He knows what it means
to make tough decisions leadership. If you're not pissing somebody
off every now and again as a leader, you're not
doing your job. Not everything that you do is always
(23:15):
going to be popular. But if you're doing the right thing,
what you to believe, what you believe to be in
your heart of hearts as the right thing. If you're
the president of the United States, whatever that whatever right
looks like, it's about protecting the interests of this country.
The essence of what it means to be America first,
keeping Americans safe, stopping this invasion. President Trump is clearly
(23:41):
in the right here, there's no question about it. But
in previous administrations, whether it's Democrat or Republican, you can
bet your ass that you would have never seen and
I mean never ever ever seen, you would never see
America and President do what Trump just did. Because so
(24:05):
many traditional politicians are afraid of being labeled mean or
heartless or cool. It's not about mean, heartless, cruel What
about the American people? How does unchecked illegal immigration affect
(24:26):
the American people? Well, we've gotten to a point in
this country where young women are being raped and murdered.
And this whole talking point that illegals commit less crime
than Americans is complete, in total bullshit. It's a leftist
fake talking point. They commit more crime than your average American.
(24:49):
It's not up for dispute. It's a fact. But you
look at the harm, and I'm just talking from a
national security standpoint, the harm that this is done to
our country. And what's so I guess what I'm saying
is is what blows my mind is how the media
immediately and leftists immediately came out to defend this socialist
(25:13):
Colombian dictator over the American people and our American president.
I mean Tom Homan, who is President Trump's borders are
absolutely unbelievable, right guy, right time, right job, in the
process of saving this country from a foreign invasion. I
(25:35):
might add was on ABC this weekend and listen to
listen to the anchor talk about basically basically taking the
side that we should not deport people who are here illegally.
Let's just listen to this.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I want to go back to those military flights going south.
As you said, we have never seen that before. Is
that going to be a constant commitment from the US
military every single day to take deporges out.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
So is this what we will see every single day
ending in what the President has promised is millions and
millions being deported.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
Yes, but you're going to see the number steadily increase.
The number of rest the nationwide as we open up
the aperture right now is concentering public safety threats, national
security threats. That's a smaller population. So we're going to
do this on priority base as President Trun's promise. But
as that aperture opens, there'll be more arrest nationwide.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
When you talk about the aperture opening, the estimates of
perhaps those who have been convicted or arrested in the
past seven hundred thousand to.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Over a million.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So after you do that, then you go after everybody
who is there illegally.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
If you're in the country illegally, you're on the table
because it's not okay to you know, loss this country.
You got to remember every time at this country legally
you violated a crime on the title eight U I
States called thirteen twenty five. It's a crime. So if
you're in a country legally, you got a problem. And
that's why I'm hoping those who are in the country
illegally who have not been ordered removed by the freederate
judge should le.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Liberal talkers, media talkers, Democrat talkers went out on this immediately.
By the way, this dispute with Columbia where Trump actually
stepping up defending America, being a leader.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
It was all, Oh, Trump started a trade war in
his first week. Oh my gosh, get ready to pay
more for roses, and oh my god, you know what's
coming up in a couple of weeks Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Trump is up the cost of roses will increase just
in time for Valentine's Day. Oh, oh, this is a
bridge too far. Or get ready to pay more for coffee. Oh,
that Colombian coffee is just gonna get more and more expensive.
Here's thing what we are talking about is deporting the
(28:07):
worst of the worst right now. I mean, you heard
Tom Holman say that the aperture was going to expand
and all illegal alien invaders will be on the table.
I mean, he's right. They committed a crime. You don't
get to come into America and commit crimes. The laws
in this country matter. They're on the books for a reason.
Tom Homan has said multiple times if you don't like
(28:27):
the law, change it in Congress, change the law. But
for now, the law is what it is and it
should be enforced. And I agree with him. But here's
the thing. We're talking about child rapists, human traffickers, murderers,
people who have been committed of horrific crimes in their
(28:50):
own country being deported right now. So I don't care
if costs go up a little bit. I really don't.
And I say this as a family, the father of
five children, married, we live paycheck to paycheck. I don't
mind paying a little bit more for things if it
means that my family is safer. I mean this whole like, oh,
(29:17):
roses will be more expensive, that coffee's gonna go up
in price, and oh my gosh, if we deport everybody,
who will be the farmers who will pick all of
our crops? I mean that the liberals, these democrats in
the media are saying this right now. I care that
my country is safe. I care that my wife is safe.
I care that my children are safe. That has got
(29:39):
to be priority number one. And that's exactly what Tom
Holman is doing. But the media is already running a
relentless propaganda campaign. And I told you they would do
this one sob story after the next to try to
shift public sentiment. But I don't think it's gonna work
because the American people are fed up. Look no further
than ABC.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
It's where you let some Martina through her pain and
tears after she says her father Andres Markina, was arrested
from his Waukegan home early Sunday morning by Immigration and
Customs enforcement agents. She says the forty four year old
grandfather came to the US from Mexico nearly thirty years.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Ago, they will opened the door because date thought maybe
one of us were introvers or something happened to us
that would have been nice.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Yulita, who was born in the US, is one of
many people now seeking legal help. At Pastor Julie Contrada's
place of worship.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
I had a four year old crying, fearing deportation.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
That is not making America great again.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Their concerns coming as ICE agents began to sweep through
the Chicago area from Berwin where this cell phone video
was captured, to Albany Park, where Guatemalan immigrants spoke to
ABC seven while asking us to hide his identity in my.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
I opened the curtain and saw that that said police.
When I saw the agents get out, they had the
buildings surrounded, so they entered. They went up and started
knocking on the doors really loudly. My children started crying.
Speaker 12 (31:12):
The fear is that they will detain other people around them,
maybe that live there or maybe that just happened to
interact with them. And that's why it's important that folks
know their rights and they don't have to answer any questions.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Arming people with that education and hopes they're prepared for
the possible arrival of immigration enforcement.
Speaker 12 (31:29):
I'm already for Brokens.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Okay, this to me, this is the media coaching people
on what to do if the FEDS come to arrest
you for committing a crime. These people that are in
this country illegally, they, especially the people who are being
deported now, are legitimate, hardened criminals. In many cases. This
(31:57):
is not an exaggeration. I mean, what's crazy about all
of this? And I'm actually I'm gonna show you this,
this video of U, this segment with doctor Phil. I
know it's kind of crazy doctor Phil out there with
Tom Homan. And by the way, Tom Homan is on
site for many of these arrests. Unbelievable. I'm telling you,
this guy is the right guy, right job, right time
(32:17):
period here in American history. He's on site for a
lot of these arrests. But this interview with this sex
offic child sex offender who is also an illegal immigrant,
I mean, the propaganda trying to defend getting these people
out of the country is disgusting to me. But I'm
gonna show that to you right when we get back
to stay right there. Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day,
(32:41):
when we remember the great evil of the Holocaust, when
millions of Jews were slaughtered during the Nazis reign of terror. Today,
the rise in global anti Semitism and the constant attacks
on Israel show us that it's more important than ever
to remember the atrocities of the Holocaust to ensure that
(33:03):
it never happens again. That's why I've partnered with the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide food, shelter,
and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world,
including those remaining Holocaust survivors. Your donation today will help
provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to Jewish communities,
(33:29):
and through your gift, you will stand with the Jewish
people and against this growing anti semitism and hatred. Give
a gift to show your support of the Jewish people
by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That is one word support
IFCJ dot org or call eight eight eight four eight
(33:52):
eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight EIGHTIFCJ eight
eight eight four eight eight for three two five. Okay,
Tom Homan boots on the ground arresting illegal alien criminals.
(34:13):
Right man, right moment, right job. At this time in
American history. But I want you to keep this in
your mind when you listen to this, when you watch this.
The people who are being deported right now are the
worst of the worst criminals. They are a threat to
American national security, and they are a threat to the
American people. Yet the media and the Democrats are working
(34:37):
hard at stopping this. Just just keep that on your
on the forefront of your mind. What's your name, Tata
walk You have a person that I think sir Sada?
Speaker 7 (34:49):
So yes, where you're from where I was born or
I'm from.
Speaker 13 (34:55):
Where you're born?
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Order to deported from the United States?
Speaker 7 (35:02):
Never been deported?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I've been in the B and B.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Yeah, what have you been charged with charge before?
Speaker 11 (35:15):
I'm not a saer, i'nach by lawyer.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
Yeah. Are you a citizen?
Speaker 7 (35:22):
My mother's cisen.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Your mother is a citizen, but you're not. Nope, but
you've never been deported before?
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Doctor Phil?
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Yeah, how do you know me? No, I've seen I've
seen a doctor Phil, you know on TV? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Well, this is an example of sanctuary cities. Right, We've
got an illegal convicted of sex crimes involving children. He's
walking the streets of Chicago again. The downfall the problem
with the sanctuary city that people I guess walking the
street rather than from as working with preseral agents.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
This is what we're dealing with. Yeah, you've been charged
with sex crimes with children, not really, not really and
never been deported.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Huh, let's take them in process and lock them up rank.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Working on.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I folks. I just want to make the point. It
doesn't have to be this way. Biden could have done
this and gotten these people out of the country easily.
We have the manpower, we have the motivation agents who
are out there willing to do their job. Only in
(36:56):
the demented liberal mind could allowing a guy like that
to walk the streets with American children living in those
houses and think it's okay. Only only in their demented,
twisted minds could anything like that be okay. And by
the way, American people are held to a very very
(37:19):
different standard. And it wasn't that long ago that the
Democrats actually believe this stuff, I mean the crazy thing again,
media propaganda campaign to stop illegal alien criminals from being deported.
It wasn't that long ago that all Americans and Democrats
agreed with this too. Actually, Democrats agreed with this.
Speaker 13 (37:40):
Let's do Obama, if you're a criminal, you'll be deported.
If you plan to enter the US illegally, your chances
of getting caught and sent back just went up. The
actions I'm taking are not only lawful, there are the
kinds of actions taken by every single Republican president and
every single Democratic president for the past half century.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
So you see what I'm saying. This isn't like this
is a radical thing. Yet the Democrats in the media
are trying to stop this. Again, I've done mean to
beat a dead horse here, but it's true. Or how
about Bill Crystal and George Stefanoppanapanopolis or and Navarro on
deporting criminal illegal aliens because listen, all of these hypocrites. Oh,
(38:24):
they're going to attack Trump for doing it. In fact,
they're already attacking him now for this very policy that
back then, well they support it.
Speaker 14 (38:33):
There you see President Obama in Denver this week. White
House even has a hashtag for these outings. They call
it the bears loose. But the President taking some heat
for shooting Pool but not going to the border to
see that crisis firsthand.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
We send children back to Mexico, We send children back
all over.
Speaker 15 (38:45):
The world in those situations.
Speaker 16 (38:47):
They are in those situations, and things in Central America
have been tough for a long time. But the idea
that you're going to let uncompanied minors just come into
the US because of a loophole in the two thousand
and eight law, that doesn't It allows you to send
the Mexican kid back and the Honduran kid gets to stay.
And that's not sensible. And so that the Republicans are
going to propose this week on the Hill amending the
two thousand and eight law to have the even treatment
for everyone. And the President does have to send a
(39:09):
message you can't come here, and why is this happen?
David talks about this has been a problem for decades.
Why are these kids suddenly flooding this place because the
President amnestied all the kids who are already here in
twenty twelve, and people in.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Central America decided, try to say, just for a since
he amnestied all the kids are here, and every sensible
person in Central America thought, hey, great, if I can
get my kid into the US, there'll be an amnesty.
Speaker 14 (39:30):
And of the problem for the president if you go
down to the border part of his message has to
be you guys have got to go back home.
Speaker 10 (39:37):
There is no such pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow for these kids. So it is important
for the president to clarify that the misrepresentation that's going
on on purpose by criminal forces in Central America is not.
So that's why it would have been important for him
to go to the border.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
I mean, the truth is I mean, obviously those people
are hypocrites. They really have no political soul, They have
no nothing of principle. They would sell out. Most of
these people that you see on TV. They don't really
believe what they say. They if if they were offered
more money on another network to say something different, they
(40:17):
would take it and they would say those things, you know.
And this is part of the reason why I think
traditional media is dying because these people are all lying hacks.
But I think what it boils down to now more
these people just don't like you to be these elites
in the media. They don't like you. They don't like
(40:37):
America first conservatives. They think the vast majority of America
is dumb. They do. I mean, Margaret Brentnan with jd Vance,
this entire interview is a case study in this. Just
watch her face as she talks to JD. Vance. She
looks at him smugly. The framing of her questions were frankly,
just just ridiculous and insulting. Jade Vance comported himself perfectly.
(41:02):
You know, we are very, very lucky to have a
vice president that is competent, that actually cares about representing
all Americans and representing the things that he ran on.
And I mean, he's light years smarter than Margaret Brennan.
But seriously, the questions during that interview that she asked
(41:25):
him were insulting and demeaning and demeaning to millions of Americans.
Listen to the question that she asks him about if
they're talking about FEMA and disaster relief, and Jade Vance
is making the point like FEMA has not been great,
like has not been great during the natural disaster in
North Carolina, has not been great in the wildfires in California.
(41:45):
Of course, Brennan is defending FEMA and defending big government inexplicably.
But just listen to this exchange and how she talks
about the people of Mississippi and Alabama.
Speaker 15 (41:55):
You know, FEMA has specialized expertise that some of these
states just don't have arsenal, and I wish the thing
the states who are who are lower income states, the mississippis,
the Kentucky's, the Alabama's be able to do this for
themselves without federal.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
H Well, the President, to be clear, is not saying
we're going to leave anybody behind. He's saying that in
the way that we administer these resources, some of which
is coming from the federal levels, some of which is
coming from the state level, we've got to get the
bureaucrats out of the way and get the aid to
the people who need it most. This has been a
big pushpoint for the Trump administration, especially if you've noticed.
(42:33):
Trump was out in California at the wildfires. Trump was
down in North Carolina. Jd Vance is in Virginia today,
all surveying disaster damage and trying to show up. Leadership
is about being present, show up for people when they
need it the most. I mean, that is the true
essence of being a leader. In jd Vance and Donald
Trump are doing that. But what they're also talking about
(42:55):
right now is the idea that bureaucracy should not get
in the way of helping the American people and you'll
hear JD. Vance, and you'll hear Donald Trump, and you'll
hear the Trump administration talking about this. People need to
come before bureaucracy and FEMA, for the love of God,
(43:16):
it's hard for me. I'm sure that there are patriots
that work for FEMA, and I'm sure that there are
many people in FEMA that do great things. But under
Joe Biden, FEMA was not delivering aid to people who
had Trump signs in their yard. This was confirmed. So
let's not pretend that FEMA has done an exceptional job
(43:39):
here and has this specialized expertise that no state could handle.
Oh miss those people in Mississippi and Alabama, they're too
low income to possibly understand how to take care of
themselves in a disaster. Meanwhile, the people of North Carolina
have had to deal with this problem almost exclusively on
their own. But the people in this especially in the South.
But Americans in times of crisis, by and large, have
(44:01):
each other's backs. Remember the Cajun Navy. I mean, they
saved tens of thousands of lives. Stop more so, again,
these people just don't like you, So I okay, all right,
all right, all right, talking too much about this. Let
me shift gears very quickly to Pete Hegseth. Let me
come and see what people were saying. Oh, smash that
(44:21):
like button. I hardly remind I don't remind. I don't
remind people enough about this. But smash that like button
a little gray thumb beneath the video, smash it green.
It helps us make the leaderboard. But just transitioning to
the Hegseth conversation here for a second. A lot has
happened over the weekend. So we finished the show on Friday.
(44:44):
The hag Seth confirmation vote was at nine o'clock on
Friday night, a little bit after that, and boy did
that vote go down to the wire. It was fifty
to fifty. Jd Vance had to come in and break
the tie. We had three Republican no votes, Lisa Murkowski,
Suzanne Collins, and Mitch McConnell. Now, now, I folks, listen,
(45:09):
I know I catch hell from some folks in the
live chat every now and again, saying, well, you know,
Mitch mcconnald's a nice guy. I've met him, and you
know he's always been very nice to me. And I
don't this. Just bear with me here, I don't need you.
I don't want you attacking me here. Okay, I think
you know, Mitch McConnell did great things in getting a
(45:31):
lot of federal judges appointed under the first in the
first Trump administration, but boy, you know, he doesn't like
Donald Trump, and he goes out of his way to
stand in the way of his agenda. And to me,
this vote against Pete, hegseth is just indefensible. It's indefensible,
and his justification is even worse because he basically says,
(45:54):
and I'm paraphrasing, I'm not going to read to you
exactly what he said. He released his justification for voting
the way that he did after the vote took place,
and he said the gist was he didn't really answer
any questions on how to combat the geopolitical threats that
we face as a nation in his hearing, in other words,
talk I assume he's talking about the rising tide of China.
(46:16):
I assume he's talking about the Russia Ukraine War. The
problem is is that Pete can only answer the questions
in his hearing that he was asked, do you understand right?
Like nobody really asked Pete about the rising tide of China.
Nobody really asked Pete about what he thought needed to
(46:37):
be done or how he would advise President Trump to
handle Russia Ukraine. He wasn't asked these questions. So to me,
this is a piss poor reason to vote against him.
To me, I don't I don't buy it, Okay, I
think it's I think it's bullshit. And then he also
said he didn't really talk about our relationship with essentially
(46:58):
the military industrial complex. And I mean, look, you know,
if you heard me on Bongino today, you heard that.
You know, I have a kind of a nuanced perspective
of the military industrial complex. I am grateful for the
work that they do in building weapons for the American
war fighter. They give us awesome equipment on the battlefield
and we use it to great effect. Okay, that's great.
(47:20):
I'm thankful to them for that. So I'm not trying
to paint in broad strokes here. However, they also take
advantage of what is an almost unlimited budget at the Pentagon.
Let's face it, right, they have projects that last decades.
The cost overruns are high. The F thirty five Raptor
program is over a trillion dollars there's tons of fraud, waste,
(47:42):
and abuse. By the time some of these weapons, not
all of them, but by the time some of these
weapons get in the hands of the war fighters are
already opsolete on the battlefield. And if you're a military contractor,
you're a part of the military industrial complex doing business
with an organization that doesn't have to pass an audit.
It's pretty nice where there's a steady gravy train flowing
to you all the time, no one ever questions cost overruns. Right,
(48:06):
So of course there's gonna be a certain amount of
resistance to Pete Hegseth because he's promised to reform this process.
He's promised to reform the acquisations process as well and
make these contractual relationships with a military industrial complex. Just
promised to stop these insane cost overruns. Okay, that's part
of the reason why the resistance to Pete was so strong.
(48:29):
But it's just McConnell talking about that as a reason
not to vote for Pete. Hegseth is. To me, it's crazy,
you know, Thank god that Tillis. There was a question
of whether Tom Tillis was was gonna vote no for Pete,
and that would have sunk his nomination, and I think
(48:49):
that would have been a terrible mistake, a terrible, terrible mistake.
The DoD the military is in dire need of reform.
They got all sorts of problems right now, folks, I'm
going to go through a couple of them with you
here and you know, over the next few minutes. But
did you hear that? Let me actually come over to
(49:10):
live chat and ask you all the question, did you
all hear the story about Oh my gosh, Trump band
DEI in the military? Well, I guess we're not going
to be able to tell the history of the Tuskegee
airmen and the Wasp women pilots during World War Two
because well, you got rid of diversity, equity and inclusion
(49:33):
in the military. So I guess we can't talk about
that that story anymore. Did you all hear any of
you all hear that story? Give me a yes or
no in the live chat Okay, Regina saying yes, okay.
MK Trail says yes, okay, So yes, animal the Wasps
were badass. I agree, I agree, so so so for
(49:53):
folks who didn't hear it, let me just read you
the headline. Okay, Trump Executive order races Arizona's Tuskegee Airmen
and women World War Two pilots. Okay, that's the headline.
For a time, it seemed as if the Trump administration
believed that some of the most important heroes of World
War Two are woke and should be erased from books,
(50:16):
at least if they happen to be black or women.
It doesn't sound like a very fair article. It was
announced last week that because of Donald Trump's executive order
ending DEI and Inclusion and DEI initiatives, the Air Force
would no longer teach about the Tuskegee Airmen. Black pilots
from World War Two are about that wars, women Air
(50:37):
Force Service pilots or WASPS heroes both groups and I agree,
but do you understand this is what they call malicious compliance.
I want to tell you what this was all about.
And also I also double down in this. There's no
place for DEI in the military. None. Anybody who talks
(50:58):
about diversity being our strength. Diversity is a strength, But
what makes us a lethal fighting force is our ability
to unifire many differences and unite under a common banner
as Americans. There are no hyphenated Americans in the American military,
just Americans who accomplish extraordinary things when we are united
in purpose. So dei's distraction from all that is divisive,
(51:22):
it's terrible. It doesn't make us more lethal, it doesn't
increase readiness. It all needs to go. Every second that
an American serviceman or woman spends studying DEI or training
on DEI is a second not training on their weapons
system or their task, whatever their job is to make
them a more effective warfighter. And if they're not training
(51:47):
on that every second of every day, it makes it
less likely for them to come back from foreign battlefields
come home alive. And that, to me is completely unacceptable.
Anything that detracts from the mission readiness lethality needs to go.
Our war fighters should be focused on one mission and
one mission alone, and not this, this social experimentation DEI.
(52:10):
But the reason this is a perfect encapsulation of what
I mean by the deep state. You have bureaucrats who
are unelected, who are left wingers, that hate President Trump
and everything that he stands for, and will do whatever
they can to stifle his agenda and by whatever means
that they can affect. And here in this regard, you
(52:32):
had somebody in the Air Force saying, well, I guess
it'd be bands. DEI. I guess we're not going to
be able to teach about the Tuskegee Ara men. Boy,
that'll really piss the American people off. Oh, I guess
we're not going to be able to teach about these
heroic women, the WASP pilots. Boy, that'll really piss the
American people off. You know who they'll blame. They'll blame
President Trump, and they'll blame the incoming Secretary of Defense
(52:53):
Pete Hegsatt Well. Pete, of course, immediately reversed the band
found out on social media and said, this is ridiculous.
We're reversing it. But you see my point, right, how
having a guy like Pete in that office is critically
important so that we can clear all this insanity out.
(53:15):
The Air Force is in the wrong for doing this.
And this is Look, it's not just the Air Force.
Look at this. Just look at this. Check this out.
What I'm showing you are called command boards. This is it.
This isn't Fort Jackson. Okay, Now look I don't know.
I mean, maybe they just didn't have Donald Trump's inaugural picture,
his picture, his official picture. I don't know. I mean,
(53:38):
it's so over a week later. I don't know all that.
But my point is, there's that one the command board,
no dot. Look at the picture of Donald Trump, the
cartoon picture that they have up there. How about how
about this one? This is the seventy fifth generation squadron.
Like look again, maybe they just haven't gotten the official
(53:59):
picture yet, or maybe there's something more sinister happening and
these are resistors within our ranks, and that simply cannot happen.
You know. President Trump is expected to sign three executive orders.
Actually he did sign three executive orders today that that
would reshape the military, including banning transgender service members, gutting
(54:22):
the military's DEI programs, and reinstating service members discharged for
refusing to get the COVID vaccines. Folks, I'm telling you
this will make the military more lethal. And a word
about transgender service members. We live in the United States
of America. If you want to live your life here
(54:43):
in this country, is trans more power to you? Okay,
but you don't belong in the military. Most people who
are actually come into the military. The military will perform
your trans surgery on the taxpayers. No taxpayer should have
to pay for that, by the way, and the moment
(55:03):
you get that surgery, at least for the next twelve
to eighteen months, and thereafter you're non deployable for twelve months.
During the recovery process, you're on heavy narcotics and you're
taking these hormones that make you non deployable. Now that, Folks,
is not fair to other men and women who serve
in that unit. It is simply not fair to everybody
(55:25):
else around you. If you're not deployable, then why are
you in. There are a litany of reasons why people
cannot join the United States military. Flat feet you can't join.
If you have asthma, you can't join. If you're morbidly obese,
you can't join. We're not throwing shade at any of
(55:45):
the people that suffer from these afflictions, but the military
by definition is exclusionary. I mean, there are a litany
of reasons. Not physically fit can't join. Can't pass a
PT test, can't join. There are a lot of reasons.
How bad hearing can't join, poor eyesight can't join, a
(56:05):
lot of reasons why people can't join. And if you
are non deployable from the moment that you come in,
but that doesn't help with readiness. To me, should not
be in the military. Live the life that you went
outside the military. But military service is not for you.
So anyways, folks, I'm like going way over time here,
(56:29):
way over time. Lots of good things happening in America
right now. Battle group smash that like button a little
great thumb beneath the video turn it green. We try
to get the four hundred likes, four hundred rumbles by
the end of every show. That's our goal. Sometimes we
had it, sometimes we don't, but it helps us make
the leaderboard each and every time. Also, don't want to
forget Wiser from last week. You threw a five dollars
(56:52):
rumble rant tip. I didn't see it until he signed off.
Thank you Wiser for that. We're so grateful to have
you here. And Lady Sunfire, he said, Camp Bernard loves
you well, you know what right back at you. And
you know, Lady Sunfire said that you and your husband
liked my book out Lovelatune. That was my first book.
For folks who were wondering about it. It came out
(57:12):
in twenty twelve. Thank you for reading our story. I
was just a very young lieutenant that was very lucky
to have soldiers, experienced non commissioned officers and soldiers who taught, coached,
and mentored me every step of the way about what
it means to be a leader. I'm grateful for them
(57:32):
every single day. And when I talk about my beliefs
in the military, and it doesn't come from some esoteric
ivory tower place, it comes from my own life experience
and life and death experiences on the battlefield. So I'm
not saying this as somebody who just has ideas. I've
lived it during my time in the army. So you know,
(57:56):
Lady Sunfire, to you and your husband, please don't forget
to tell your husband thank you. First, Nervis and semperfy,
but thank you. Yeah, must have that heater fixed. Sean
is in a T shirt. Yes, I see your comments
about wearing plaid, and yes, in the winter, I wear
a lot of plaid. I do. Plus, those poncho shirts,
(58:18):
they're not like a sponsor of the show, but Pancho.
They're Pancho. That's the name of the brand. Those are
by far the best I get. I'm not getting paid
to say any of this, but they are the best
flannel T shirts out there, so yes, I wear them
a lot. They're super super comfortable. Anyways, battle crew, thank
you all for being with me. Have an amazing week
(58:39):
of shows planned free of course, We've got all the
usual suspects and Savagerich Bears hopefully Brian Dean right on Friday.
Try to get Steve Friend back this week. But as always, folks,
thank you for being with me. That's it for Battleground
Live tonight. God bless you all, and God bless this
amazing country that we call home. Take care, good night,
(59:00):
I'll see you tomorrow
Warning you're up about to enter the arena and join
the Battle to.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Save America with your host Sean Parnell.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Good evening, America. Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the
show that kicks ass and takes names and locks horns
with the radical left. We never quit, We never surrender.
From sea to shining scene, everybody in between. Welcome Patriots
on this Monday and a glorious Monday. It is look.
(00:37):
I gotta tell you. The title of this episode is
Trump is flooding the Zone. And I know that there
have been lots of people out there talking about this
already ready. Dan Bongino is one of them. Trump is using,
you know this as a tactic, put stuff out there
as fast as humanly possible. Media doesn't know how to
cover it, make their head spin. Usually what the media
(00:59):
will do is, you know, lock in on something or
someone and just relentlessly attack that one singular thing in
an attempt to change the narrative. Right, This is a
Lensky tactic. You know, you fix on something and then
you define it publicly, and then you stay on that
(01:20):
narrative relentlessly. This is in his book Rules for Radicals
what Trump is doing. Is clearly the way, Like this
is a case study for any Republican out there who
would run for president after Trump. And as many members
of the battle crew know, like, this is something that
(01:40):
I you know, obviously Trump is the best president of
my lifetime. And it's not even close. What this man
had to do to win the first time was nothing
short of a miracle. The second the second time, you know, folks,
to tell you, I got to tell you, to say
it was a miracle seems almost like an understatement. This
(02:01):
man defied all all the odds to get to where
he is and I gotta I gotta tell you, like
this is a tactic that he's using. He's clearly learned
from his first go around in the White House. But
also what's interesting about this is that, yeah, I just said,
Trump went through a lot to get to the Again,
huge understatement.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
For four straight years he had time to think about,
along with his inner circle guys like Steven Miller and
Rick Grennell and Cash Fattel, to think about the stolen election,
had four years to think and reflect about, reflect about
what he would do differently when he got when he
gets back in the White House, should he get back
(02:47):
in the White House, and it seems to me, you know,
part of the reason they've been so disciplined in these
first seven days or so in the White House is
because they came in ready to go. And when you
heard on the campaign trip, you've heard Trump say this
and also again guys like Steven Miller, Cash Hotel, Rick
(03:08):
Cornell and other surrogates on the media saying that Trump
learned a lot from last time. And boy were they right.
Trump is that Trump two point zero is very, very
different than Trump one point oh. And I have to say,
you know, Susie Wiles, I think gets a ton and
I mean a ton of credit for the way that
(03:31):
this operation is running. And boy does she compliment President
Trump well. And of course, Susy, while she's the chief
of Staff of the White House, the first woman to
ever occupy the position. So to all the media hacks
out there that sell Trump's misogynist that hates women, well,
for a guy that hates women, he sure does. Sure,
he sure does appoint a lot of women to his
cabinet in critical leadership positions in his White House. So
(03:56):
as we get the show started, I'm looking at my
show run down here and Mike computer in front of me,
and I've got like probably twenty pieces of sound. And look,
I mean, these Monday shows are always tough because you know,
you pull sound from Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, and then
you go into Monday. You got all the sound from
(04:16):
Monday all day and so you end up on Mondays
with a lot of sound. So sometimes it's hard to
get through everything. But also that what makes it really
hard is that Trump has just been doing a lot.
So we're we're gonna talk about everything that happened over
the weekend, and we're gonna talk about I think where
the media is taking us and the things that are
happening right now that you need to be concerned about.
(04:39):
But two huge stories that are I'll tell you they
have not been reported enough. You think they'd be headline
news everywhere, but they're not. But these are DJ stories.
And the DJ officials involved in prosecutions have of Donald
Trump have been fired. I think upwards of twelve dojooyees
(05:00):
who work directly with the Bed Eyed Little Freak special
counselor and Jack Smith, they've all been let go. And
as the Trump administration is calling it, a special project
has been launched to investigate prosecutors who charged January sixth
defendants with fifteen twelve CE obstruction charges. Now, of course,
(05:22):
remember the fifteen twelve SE charges. They were dismissed by
the United States Supreme Court. They were a perversion of justice,
a way to enhance people's sentences, to give them what
should have been maybe you know, a slap on the wrist,
you know, maybe home confinement within an ankle bracelet at
the most. But it's a way to enhance what were
misdemeanor charges like unlawful parading, enhance them to federal offense,
(05:47):
a federal offense. Well, the Trump administration is not resting
on their laurels here either, and set up the Special
Task Force to investigate people who were involved in these shameful,
disgusting prosecutions of Jay six ers. And by the way,
you know, Trump issued a blanket pardon for all of them. Good,
I say good. What happened to those people, even the
(06:10):
ones that were quote unquote violent or attacked police officers. Well,
many of those people spent you know what, three years
behind bars, Some of them spent a long time in
solitary confinement. To me, that's enough, right, You don't need
to be spending twenty thirty years behind bar. You know,
I think in Rico Tario that I don't even know
(06:30):
who the Proud Boys are, but I guess he was
affiliated with the Proud Boys. Got twenty years or something
like that. He wasn't even at January sixth. So you know,
I'm completely on board with the JA six pardons. But
the critical point here that I'm trying to make and
then we'll move on because I've got a lot to
talk about. But I've said it before and I'll say
it again. This is not about retribution. This is not
(06:55):
about revenge. This is about ability. This is about making
sure that this shameful period of law fair that happened
under the Biden Department of Justice in merrit Garland never
happens again without some form of accountability to basically say
(07:19):
to everyone who is involved, and then Democrats who would
use this as a strategy after Trump, that there will
be serious consequences for those who twist and pervert our
legal system and wage lawfair against our fellow Americans. I mean,
it's absolutely important, it's critically important if we don't have
(07:42):
a sense of accountability for all the wrongs perpetrated on
the American people that the Biden administration committed. I'm just
telling you, folks, that does not lead to a good place.
You know. So much of what we're going to talk
about is Trump focusing on the border. You know. President
(08:02):
Trump is laser focused on locking down the southern border
and using American military assets to protect our sovereignty as
a country. You know. Part of that conversation around you know,
and to me, it's not a conversation. You're an illegal alien,
you come into this country, your first act is committing
a crime. You've got to be held accountable. You or
(08:23):
I would be held accountable for committing for committing crimes.
But it all comes back to accountability. We as American
citizens are held to a different standard than people who
aren't citizens of this country. And that needs to stop.
And President Trump is on a path to stopping that
right now. Something else that just broke right before the
(08:44):
show is US border agents were fired at by the
cartel shot at near front in Texas as illegal aliens
were being sent back over the border. Border agents returned fire.
No one was hurt, thank god, but the legal aliens
who were sent were supposed to be sent across didn't
(09:04):
actually go so in that regard, the cartels were successful
when stopping illegal aliens being sent back into the Mexican border.
And the other crazy thing that's happening right now is
that drug cartels are threatening American military planes carrying illegal
aliens back to their home countries right now. So these cartels,
(09:26):
you know, Trump, President Trump designated them as terrorist organizations.
It's a positive first step because not only does it
does it free up what we can do operationally to
target them, but it also from a regulatory standpoint, allows
banks or puts banks that that bank with these cartels
puts them in a very tough spot as well. But
(09:49):
the cartels, I'm telling you, and I've said this many
times before on the show, this is they will not
go quietly into the good into the good night. They've
got they're well trained, they've got great gear. They're gonna
fight back. And I think we're seeing the beginnings of
this right now. I mean, look at this report from
Bill Malougan from Fox News on this cartel report on
(10:12):
what happened today on the southern border. Watch listen for yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Just across the river yards from US Soil cartel gunmen
stroll along the river bank armed with rifles. They control
the border in Mexico.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Some aim AK.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Forty seven's at Texas DPS helicopters. Others go to war
with each other with Texas DPS thermal drone video showing
cartels throwing explosives at each other during a battle for
control of the area.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
All the activity that's been happening, all the violence has
been taking place right across the river, within several hundred
yards when we're at right now.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Texas DPS is Lieutenant Chris Olivarrez tells Fox. In October,
Texas had enough. The state declared frontin Island Texas property.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
And begin bulldozing it all of it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Brush was cleared, razor wire was the play, and the
area was fortified. This is what it looks like now,
a one hundred and seventy one acre barren landscape now
secured by Texas with Texas troopers on patrol and Texas
National Guard soldiers deployed with loaded weapons. This is one
of the cartel buildings directly across the river from US
(11:17):
in Mexico. You can see cartel graffiti on it, as
well as bullet holes riddling it. Here on the US
side of the river. You can see what Texas has
done with Frontin Island. They have completely cleared it out.
They've deployed razor wire, and there is now nowhere for
these cartel gunmen to hide if they want to cross
here illegally.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
These carto operatives have no fear of the federal government
because they know there's no consequences. And the fact that
they have allowed the Mexican drug cartels to gain operational
control of the border. That's why the state of Texas
is stepping in so we can regain operational control.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
In front In Texas, Bill Malujin, Fox News.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
So there's a lot of to take I don't usually
show news reports on my show, you know, I would
show clips and sounds of what people say, but usually
not news reports like that. But there's a lot there.
And I was reading some reports this weekend that the
(12:18):
cartels all across the southern border, like the border the
southern border of Arizona, the cartels have infiltrated and infested
many of the counties in southern Arizona and control the
flow across the border there. They maintain operational control of
(12:38):
our southern border. I mean folks, this is unprecedented. This
is a hostile foreign power to me, hostile foreign terrorist
organization that controls our southern border, by the way, all
made possible by these by these democrats over the last
(13:01):
four years, the Biden administration, MAJORCIS and everybody else allowed
this to happen. And look, they had the power to
stop it, but they did not. To me, again, this
is the definition of treason allowing this country to be invaded.
The first and foremost responsibility of an American president is
(13:23):
to keep the American people safe and to repel an invasion.
In these cartels, they have infiltrated every state in this country.
Trend de Agua, and some of these Venezuelan gangs or
these South American gangs or Central American gangs, they are ruthless.
They are gaining, and they are gaining and maintaining actual
territory in this country. And they are coordinating not just
(13:48):
with the cartels, but with potentially other hostile forces to
do harm to Americans. I'm telling you, folks, it has
to stop. Okay, we're gonna get right back into this.
Let me take a quick break. Okay, let's get back
into it. Oh, by the way Battle Crew. I didn't
say this, but make sure you smash that like button,
(14:09):
that little green thumb beneath the video. And Michael, I'm
looking at the live chat and you say I look
better now than I do in that photo. And yes,
Salty Mama is a Sean update that pick con Wolf
is saying baby face. Sean Wiser said, you look better now.
(14:30):
You're beefed up. Sue says, I prefer the beard. I
prefer the current spec option. Oh, Ultramaga, what we need
is for you to become part of the Pete Crew. Ultramaga.
You want me to be at the Pentagon with the
Pete Crew. Oh man, you all are salty Mama, she says.
(14:53):
She says yes, and stay in. Salty said, you look
sassier now. Oh I look sassier now. See so when
you see me, when you when you look at me,
what you think is sassy? Sean Parnell is sassy. If
that is what you think, that that I have got
(15:15):
to reevaluate my entire persona if people think that I
am sassy. If you if you stop watching this show
or listening to this show and you say, man, Sewan
Sewn is sassy, he is sassy that I gotta do something. Okay,
(15:37):
So here we're gonna here's we're gonna do. We're gonna
smash that like button, the little gray thumb beneath the video.
When you smash it turns green helps us make the
leader board. So go ahead and do that. But I
want to talk about what happened with President Trump and
the President of Columbia, and then we're gonna go right
back into another immigration fight. Flight. Uh uh, the immigration fight.
(16:00):
Oh it's Monday, okay. So over the weekend, like a
really crazy thing happened. We started sending criminals back to
their home countries. We had two military aircraft land in Columbia. Now,
the Colombian government and the Colombian president approved these repatriation
(16:22):
flights prior to them taking off here in America. When
they were in mid flight, the Colombian government said, nope,
we're going back on our promise and turned those military
flights away and wouldn't take the criminals back into their
own country. So Trump, seriously, while he was on a
par five golfing, gets on his phone, like I'm not
(16:45):
even exaggerating. I watched this happen in real time. It
was crazy He gets on his phone a couple hours
after hearing that and puts out on truth social exactly this,
and I'm going to read it because it's just so
rare for an American president to take decisive action like this.
I'm just gonna tell you this is why he's one
of a kind. But he said, I was just informed
(17:07):
that two repatriation flights from the United States with a
large number number of illegal criminals were not allowed to
land in Colombia. This order was given by Columbia's socialist president,
Gustavo Petro, who was already very unpopular amongst his people.
Petro's denial of these flights has jeopardized the national security
(17:30):
and public safety of the United States. So I have
directed my administration to immediately take the following, urgent and
decisive retaliatory measures. Seriously, this is unprecedented and awesome for
an American president. An emergency twenty five percent tariffs on
(17:51):
all goods coming into the United States. In one week,
the twenty five percent tariffs will be raised to fifty percent.
A travel ban in immediate visa revocations on the Colombian government,
officials and all allies and supporters. Visa sanctions on all
party members, family members, on all party members, family members
(18:14):
and supporters of the Colombian government. Enhance customs and border
protection inspections of all Colombian nationals and cargo on national
security grounds. The IEEPA, treasury, banking and financial sanctions to
be fully imposed. These measures are just the beginning. We
will not allow the Colombian government to violate its legal
(18:37):
obligation with regard to acceptance and return of the criminals
they forced into the United States. Wow. Just wow. I'm
telling you you know, here's the thing. There's going to
be an adjustment period for many of these countries, folks,
(18:59):
because for decades, and yeah, I do mean decades, these
countries have seen America as a dumping ground for their criminals.
I mean, I know that people on this show want
of a problem with me saying that, but there are
other like corporate media outlets, people that have had their
(19:21):
head in the clouds. I'm just telling you Trump is
right when he's saying that these countries are dumping their
prisons here in America. If you could empty out your
prison population into a country that was dumb enough to
take them, so that the prison population didn't have to
live on your taxpayer's dollars. What would you do? Of
(19:43):
course you would do this. This is why Trump has said.
Trump has said this from the campaign stage. I understand
why they do it. There's a country out there dumb
enough to take all these criminals, Like, why wouldn't you
take advantage of it? Well, what President Trump is saying
that America is not dumb any laws longer, and We're
not going to put up being a dumping ground for
your criminals. And I don't care what anyone says. We
(20:06):
do have one of the dumbest immigration policies in the
history of the world. No other sane country would do
or allow what we allow here in this country. And
what the left does. They do it all the time,
and I refuse to let them do this to me
or here on this show. But they conflate a legal
immigration with legal immigration, and they say Republicans are against immigration.
(20:28):
Nothing could be further from the truth. We are the
most generous country on the face of the planet and
let in a couple million legal immigrants every single year.
I don't have a problem with any of those people
coming in the right way. I draw the line at
people coming here illegally, and the problem has gotten so
much worse over the last four years. It's out of control.
(20:50):
So Columbia responded to Trump and essentially, we'll use the
presidential plane for migrant repatriation amid US deportation dispute. In
a dramatic turn of events, Columbia has decided to deploy
its presidential plane to Honduras to retrieve migrants rejected by
the US following a diplomatic spat over deportation protocols. Rather
(21:14):
than allow the US planes the two US planes that
were in route, President Gustafo Petro initially refused to accept
US military flights carrying Columbia nationals, even though he had
previously approved them, prompting President Donald Trump to impose steep
tariffs on Colombian goods. In response to those sanctions, Petro
announced that Colombia would ensure the dignified return that parts
(21:38):
in quotes of its citizens using the presidential aircraft. This
move comes after the US had already sent deportation flights
to Guatemala and Honduras, highlighting the tense dynamics of international
migrant policies. So Trump does all this, and he shares
this this is our president. Look at this. I just
(22:07):
think it's funny. This is from the President of the
United States. Is true social account and behind it there's
a sign that says, f around and find out. FAFO,
f around and find out. And beneath it for our
friends who are just listening, is a smiley face and
Trump with a little hat on saying f around and
(22:30):
find out. See, folks, this is This is to me,
the definition of what it means to be a leader.
And I mean it. This country has been plagued with politicians.
You know, politicians. Yes, Trump is a politician, but Trump
(22:53):
is actually a leader. He's been a leader in his
private life, his entire life. He knows what it means
to make tough decisions leadership. If you're not pissing somebody
off every now and again as a leader, you're not
doing your job. Not everything that you do is always
(23:15):
going to be popular. But if you're doing the right thing,
what you to believe, what you believe to be in
your heart of hearts as the right thing. If you're
the president of the United States, whatever that whatever right
looks like, it's about protecting the interests of this country.
The essence of what it means to be America first,
keeping Americans safe, stopping this invasion. President Trump is clearly
(23:41):
in the right here, there's no question about it. But
in previous administrations, whether it's Democrat or Republican, you can
bet your ass that you would have never seen and
I mean never ever ever seen, you would never see
America and President do what Trump just did. Because so
(24:05):
many traditional politicians are afraid of being labeled mean or
heartless or cool. It's not about mean, heartless, cruel What
about the American people? How does unchecked illegal immigration affect
(24:26):
the American people? Well, we've gotten to a point in
this country where young women are being raped and murdered.
And this whole talking point that illegals commit less crime
than Americans is complete, in total bullshit. It's a leftist
fake talking point. They commit more crime than your average American.
(24:49):
It's not up for dispute. It's a fact. But you
look at the harm, and I'm just talking from a
national security standpoint, the harm that this is done to
our country. And what's so I guess what I'm saying
is is what blows my mind is how the media
immediately and leftists immediately came out to defend this socialist
(25:13):
Colombian dictator over the American people and our American president.
I mean Tom Homan, who is President Trump's borders are
absolutely unbelievable, right guy, right time, right job, in the
process of saving this country from a foreign invasion. I
(25:35):
might add was on ABC this weekend and listen to
listen to the anchor talk about basically basically taking the
side that we should not deport people who are here illegally.
Let's just listen to this.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I want to go back to those military flights going south.
As you said, we have never seen that before. Is
that going to be a constant commitment from the US
military every single day to take deporges out.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
So is this what we will see every single day
ending in what the President has promised is millions and
millions being deported.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
Yes, but you're going to see the number steadily increase.
The number of rest the nationwide as we open up
the aperture right now is concentering public safety threats, national
security threats. That's a smaller population. So we're going to
do this on priority base as President Trun's promise. But
as that aperture opens, there'll be more arrest nationwide.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
When you talk about the aperture opening, the estimates of
perhaps those who have been convicted or arrested in the
past seven hundred thousand to.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Over a million.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So after you do that, then you go after everybody
who is there illegally.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
If you're in the country illegally, you're on the table
because it's not okay to you know, loss this country.
You got to remember every time at this country legally
you violated a crime on the title eight U I
States called thirteen twenty five. It's a crime. So if
you're in a country legally, you got a problem. And
that's why I'm hoping those who are in the country
illegally who have not been ordered removed by the freederate
judge should le.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Liberal talkers, media talkers, Democrat talkers went out on this immediately.
By the way, this dispute with Columbia where Trump actually
stepping up defending America, being a leader.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
It was all, Oh, Trump started a trade war in
his first week. Oh my gosh, get ready to pay
more for roses, and oh my god, you know what's
coming up in a couple of weeks Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Trump is up the cost of roses will increase just
in time for Valentine's Day. Oh, oh, this is a
bridge too far. Or get ready to pay more for coffee. Oh,
that Colombian coffee is just gonna get more and more expensive.
Here's thing what we are talking about is deporting the
(28:07):
worst of the worst right now. I mean, you heard
Tom Holman say that the aperture was going to expand
and all illegal alien invaders will be on the table.
I mean, he's right. They committed a crime. You don't
get to come into America and commit crimes. The laws
in this country matter. They're on the books for a reason.
Tom Homan has said multiple times if you don't like
(28:27):
the law, change it in Congress, change the law. But
for now, the law is what it is and it
should be enforced. And I agree with him. But here's
the thing. We're talking about child rapists, human traffickers, murderers,
people who have been committed of horrific crimes in their
(28:50):
own country being deported right now. So I don't care
if costs go up a little bit. I really don't.
And I say this as a family, the father of
five children, married, we live paycheck to paycheck. I don't
mind paying a little bit more for things if it
means that my family is safer. I mean this whole like, oh,
(29:17):
roses will be more expensive, that coffee's gonna go up
in price, and oh my gosh, if we deport everybody,
who will be the farmers who will pick all of
our crops? I mean that the liberals, these democrats in
the media are saying this right now. I care that
my country is safe. I care that my wife is safe.
I care that my children are safe. That has got
(29:39):
to be priority number one. And that's exactly what Tom
Holman is doing. But the media is already running a
relentless propaganda campaign. And I told you they would do
this one sob story after the next to try to
shift public sentiment. But I don't think it's gonna work
because the American people are fed up. Look no further
than ABC.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
It's where you let some Martina through her pain and
tears after she says her father Andres Markina, was arrested
from his Waukegan home early Sunday morning by Immigration and
Customs enforcement agents. She says the forty four year old
grandfather came to the US from Mexico nearly thirty years.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Ago, they will opened the door because date thought maybe
one of us were introvers or something happened to us
that would have been nice.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Yulita, who was born in the US, is one of
many people now seeking legal help. At Pastor Julie Contrada's
place of worship.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
I had a four year old crying, fearing deportation.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
That is not making America great again.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Their concerns coming as ICE agents began to sweep through
the Chicago area from Berwin where this cell phone video
was captured, to Albany Park, where Guatemalan immigrants spoke to
ABC seven while asking us to hide his identity in my.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
I opened the curtain and saw that that said police.
When I saw the agents get out, they had the
buildings surrounded, so they entered. They went up and started
knocking on the doors really loudly. My children started crying.
Speaker 12 (31:12):
The fear is that they will detain other people around them,
maybe that live there or maybe that just happened to
interact with them. And that's why it's important that folks
know their rights and they don't have to answer any questions.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
Arming people with that education and hopes they're prepared for
the possible arrival of immigration enforcement.
Speaker 12 (31:29):
I'm already for Brokens.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Okay, this to me, this is the media coaching people
on what to do if the FEDS come to arrest
you for committing a crime. These people that are in
this country illegally, they, especially the people who are being
deported now, are legitimate, hardened criminals. In many cases. This
(31:57):
is not an exaggeration. I mean, what's crazy about all
of this? And I'm actually I'm gonna show you this,
this video of U, this segment with doctor Phil. I
know it's kind of crazy doctor Phil out there with
Tom Homan. And by the way, Tom Homan is on
site for many of these arrests. Unbelievable. I'm telling you,
this guy is the right guy, right job, right time
(32:17):
period here in American history. He's on site for a
lot of these arrests. But this interview with this sex
offic child sex offender who is also an illegal immigrant,
I mean, the propaganda trying to defend getting these people
out of the country is disgusting to me. But I'm
gonna show that to you right when we get back
to stay right there. Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day,
(32:41):
when we remember the great evil of the Holocaust, when
millions of Jews were slaughtered during the Nazis reign of terror. Today,
the rise in global anti Semitism and the constant attacks
on Israel show us that it's more important than ever
to remember the atrocities of the Holocaust to ensure that
(33:03):
it never happens again. That's why I've partnered with the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide food, shelter,
and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world,
including those remaining Holocaust survivors. Your donation today will help
provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to Jewish communities,
(33:29):
and through your gift, you will stand with the Jewish
people and against this growing anti semitism and hatred. Give
a gift to show your support of the Jewish people
by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That is one word support
IFCJ dot org or call eight eight eight four eight
(33:52):
eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight EIGHTIFCJ eight
eight eight four eight eight for three two five. Okay,
Tom Homan boots on the ground arresting illegal alien criminals.
(34:13):
Right man, right moment, right job. At this time in
American history. But I want you to keep this in
your mind when you listen to this, when you watch this.
The people who are being deported right now are the
worst of the worst criminals. They are a threat to
American national security, and they are a threat to the
American people. Yet the media and the Democrats are working
(34:37):
hard at stopping this. Just just keep that on your
on the forefront of your mind. What's your name, Tata
walk You have a person that I think sir Sada?
Speaker 7 (34:49):
So yes, where you're from where I was born or
I'm from.
Speaker 13 (34:55):
Where you're born?

Never been deported?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I've been in the B and B.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
Yeah, what have you been charged with charge before?
Speaker 11 (35:15):
I'm not a saer, i'nach by lawyer.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
Yeah. Are you a citizen?
Speaker 7 (35:22):
My mother's cisen.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Your mother is a citizen, but you're not. Nope, but

Yeah, how do you know me? No, I've seen I've
seen a doctor Phil, you know on TV? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Well, this is an example of sanctuary cities. Right, We've
got an illegal convicted of sex crimes involving children. He's
walking the streets of Chicago again. The downfall the problem
with the sanctuary city that people I guess walking the
street rather than from as working with preseral agents.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
This is what we're dealing with. Yeah, you've been charged
with sex crimes with children, not really, not really and
never been deported.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Huh, let's take them in process and lock them up rank.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Working on.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I folks. I just want to make the point. It
doesn't have to be this way. Biden could have done
this and gotten these people out of the country easily.
We have the manpower, we have the motivation agents who
are out there willing to do their job. Only in
(36:56):
the demented liberal mind could allowing a guy like that
to walk the streets with American children living in those
houses and think it's okay. Only only in their demented,
twisted minds could anything like that be okay. And by
the way, American people are held to a very very
(37:19):
different standard. And it wasn't that long ago that the
Democrats actually believe this stuff, I mean the crazy thing again,
media propaganda campaign to stop illegal alien criminals from being deported.
It wasn't that long ago that all Americans and Democrats
agreed with this too. Actually, Democrats agreed with this.
Speaker 13 (37:40):
Let's do Obama, if you're a criminal, you'll be deported.
If you plan to enter the US illegally, your chances
of getting caught and sent back just went up. The
actions I'm taking are not only lawful, there are the
kinds of actions taken by every single Republican president and
every single Democratic president for the past half century.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
So you see what I'm saying. This isn't like this
is a radical thing. Yet the Democrats in the media
are trying to stop this. Again, I've done mean to
beat a dead horse here, but it's true. Or how
about Bill Crystal and George Stefanoppanapanopolis or and Navarro on
deporting criminal illegal aliens because listen, all of these hypocrites. Oh,
(38:24):
they're going to attack Trump for doing it. In fact,
they're already attacking him now for this very policy that
back then, well they support it.
Speaker 14 (38:33):
There you see President Obama in Denver this week. White
House even has a hashtag for these outings. They call
it the bears loose. But the President taking some heat
for shooting Pool but not going to the border to
see that crisis firsthand.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
We send children back to Mexico, We send children back
all over.
Speaker 15 (38:45):
The world in those situations.
Speaker 16 (38:47):
They are in those situations, and things in Central America
have been tough for a long time. But the idea
that you're going to let uncompanied minors just come into
the US because of a loophole in the two thousand
and eight law, that doesn't It allows you to send
the Mexican kid back and the Honduran kid gets to stay.
And that's not sensible. And so that the Republicans are
going to propose this week on the Hill amending the
two thousand and eight law to have the even treatment
for everyone. And the President does have to send a
(39:09):
message you can't come here, and why is this happen?
David talks about this has been a problem for decades.
Why are these kids suddenly flooding this place because the
President amnestied all the kids who are already here in
twenty twelve, and people in.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Central America decided, try to say, just for a since
he amnestied all the kids are here, and every sensible
person in Central America thought, hey, great, if I can
get my kid into the US, there'll be an amnesty.
Speaker 14 (39:30):
And of the problem for the president if you go
down to the border part of his message has to
be you guys have got to go back home.
Speaker 10 (39:37):
There is no such pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow for these kids. So it is important
for the president to clarify that the misrepresentation that's going
on on purpose by criminal forces in Central America is not.
So that's why it would have been important for him
to go to the border.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
I mean, the truth is I mean, obviously those people
are hypocrites. They really have no political soul, They have
no nothing of principle. They would sell out. Most of
these people that you see on TV. They don't really
believe what they say. They if if they were offered
more money on another network to say something different, they
(40:17):
would take it and they would say those things, you know.
And this is part of the reason why I think
traditional media is dying because these people are all lying hacks.
But I think what it boils down to now more
these people just don't like you to be these elites
in the media. They don't like you. They don't like
(40:37):
America first conservatives. They think the vast majority of America
is dumb. They do. I mean, Margaret Brentnan with jd Vance,
this entire interview is a case study in this. Just
watch her face as she talks to JD. Vance. She
looks at him smugly. The framing of her questions were frankly,
just just ridiculous and insulting. Jade Vance comported himself perfectly.
(41:02):
You know, we are very, very lucky to have a
vice president that is competent, that actually cares about representing
all Americans and representing the things that he ran on.
And I mean, he's light years smarter than Margaret Brennan.
But seriously, the questions during that interview that she asked
(41:25):
him were insulting and demeaning and demeaning to millions of Americans.
Listen to the question that she asks him about if
they're talking about FEMA and disaster relief, and Jade Vance
is making the point like FEMA has not been great,
like has not been great during the natural disaster in
North Carolina, has not been great in the wildfires in California.
(41:45):
Of course, Brennan is defending FEMA and defending big government inexplicably.
But just listen to this exchange and how she talks
about the people of Mississippi and Alabama.
Speaker 15 (41:55):
You know, FEMA has specialized expertise that some of these
states just don't have arsenal, and I wish the thing
the states who are who are lower income states, the mississippis,
the Kentucky's, the Alabama's be able to do this for
themselves without federal.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
H Well, the President, to be clear, is not saying
we're going to leave anybody behind. He's saying that in
the way that we administer these resources, some of which
is coming from the federal levels, some of which is
coming from the state level, we've got to get the
bureaucrats out of the way and get the aid to
the people who need it most. This has been a
big pushpoint for the Trump administration, especially if you've noticed.
(42:33):
Trump was out in California at the wildfires. Trump was
down in North Carolina. Jd Vance is in Virginia today,
all surveying disaster damage and trying to show up. Leadership
is about being present, show up for people when they
need it the most. I mean, that is the true
essence of being a leader. In jd Vance and Donald
Trump are doing that. But what they're also talking about
(42:55):
right now is the idea that bureaucracy should not get
in the way of helping the American people and you'll
hear JD. Vance, and you'll hear Donald Trump, and you'll
hear the Trump administration talking about this. People need to
come before bureaucracy and FEMA, for the love of God,
(43:16):
it's hard for me. I'm sure that there are patriots
that work for FEMA, and I'm sure that there are
many people in FEMA that do great things. But under
Joe Biden, FEMA was not delivering aid to people who
had Trump signs in their yard. This was confirmed. So
let's not pretend that FEMA has done an exceptional job
(43:39):
here and has this specialized expertise that no state could handle.
Oh miss those people in Mississippi and Alabama, they're too
low income to possibly understand how to take care of
themselves in a disaster. Meanwhile, the people of North Carolina
have had to deal with this problem almost exclusively on
their own. But the people in this especially in the South.
But Americans in times of crisis, by and large, have
(44:01):
each other's backs. Remember the Cajun Navy. I mean, they
saved tens of thousands of lives. Stop more so, again,
these people just don't like you, So I okay, all right,
all right, all right, talking too much about this. Let
me shift gears very quickly to Pete Hegseth. Let me
come and see what people were saying. Oh, smash that
(44:21):
like button. I hardly remind I don't remind. I don't
remind people enough about this. But smash that like button
a little gray thumb beneath the video, smash it green.
It helps us make the leaderboard. But just transitioning to
the Hegseth conversation here for a second. A lot has
happened over the weekend. So we finished the show on Friday.
(44:44):
The hag Seth confirmation vote was at nine o'clock on
Friday night, a little bit after that, and boy did
that vote go down to the wire. It was fifty
to fifty. Jd Vance had to come in and break
the tie. We had three Republican no votes, Lisa Murkowski,
Suzanne Collins, and Mitch McConnell. Now, now, I folks, listen,
(45:09):
I know I catch hell from some folks in the
live chat every now and again, saying, well, you know,
Mitch mcconnald's a nice guy. I've met him, and you
know he's always been very nice to me. And I
don't this. Just bear with me here, I don't need you.
I don't want you attacking me here. Okay, I think
you know, Mitch McConnell did great things in getting a
(45:31):
lot of federal judges appointed under the first in the
first Trump administration, but boy, you know, he doesn't like
Donald Trump, and he goes out of his way to
stand in the way of his agenda. And to me,
this vote against Pete, hegseth is just indefensible. It's indefensible,
and his justification is even worse because he basically says,
(45:54):
and I'm paraphrasing, I'm not going to read to you
exactly what he said. He released his justification for voting
the way that he did after the vote took place,
and he said the gist was he didn't really answer
any questions on how to combat the geopolitical threats that
we face as a nation in his hearing, in other words,
talk I assume he's talking about the rising tide of China.
(46:16):
I assume he's talking about the Russia Ukraine War. The
problem is is that Pete can only answer the questions
in his hearing that he was asked, do you understand right?
Like nobody really asked Pete about the rising tide of China.
Nobody really asked Pete about what he thought needed to
(46:37):
be done or how he would advise President Trump to
handle Russia Ukraine. He wasn't asked these questions. So to me,
this is a piss poor reason to vote against him.
To me, I don't I don't buy it, Okay, I
think it's I think it's bullshit. And then he also
said he didn't really talk about our relationship with essentially
(46:58):
the military industrial complex. And I mean, look, you know,
if you heard me on Bongino today, you heard that.
You know, I have a kind of a nuanced perspective
of the military industrial complex. I am grateful for the
work that they do in building weapons for the American
war fighter. They give us awesome equipment on the battlefield
and we use it to great effect. Okay, that's great.
(47:20):
I'm thankful to them for that. So I'm not trying
to paint in broad strokes here. However, they also take
advantage of what is an almost unlimited budget at the Pentagon.
Let's face it, right, they have projects that last decades.
The cost overruns are high. The F thirty five Raptor
program is over a trillion dollars there's tons of fraud, waste,
(47:42):
and abuse. By the time some of these weapons, not
all of them, but by the time some of these
weapons get in the hands of the war fighters are
already opsolete on the battlefield. And if you're a military contractor,
you're a part of the military industrial complex doing business
with an organization that doesn't have to pass an audit.
It's pretty nice where there's a steady gravy train flowing
to you all the time, no one ever questions cost overruns. Right,
(48:06):
So of course there's gonna be a certain amount of
resistance to Pete Hegseth because he's promised to reform this process.
He's promised to reform the acquisations process as well and
make these contractual relationships with a military industrial complex. Just
promised to stop these insane cost overruns. Okay, that's part
of the reason why the resistance to Pete was so strong.
(48:29):
But it's just McConnell talking about that as a reason
not to vote for Pete. Hegseth is. To me, it's crazy,
you know, Thank god that Tillis. There was a question
of whether Tom Tillis was was gonna vote no for Pete,
and that would have sunk his nomination, and I think
(48:49):
that would have been a terrible mistake, a terrible, terrible mistake.
The DoD the military is in dire need of reform.
They got all sorts of problems right now, folks, I'm
going to go through a couple of them with you
here and you know, over the next few minutes. But
did you hear that? Let me actually come over to
(49:10):
live chat and ask you all the question, did you
all hear the story about Oh my gosh, Trump band
DEI in the military? Well, I guess we're not going
to be able to tell the history of the Tuskegee
airmen and the Wasp women pilots during World War Two
because well, you got rid of diversity, equity and inclusion
(49:33):
in the military. So I guess we can't talk about
that that story anymore. Did you all hear any of
you all hear that story? Give me a yes or
no in the live chat Okay, Regina saying yes, okay.
MK Trail says yes, okay, So yes, animal the Wasps
were badass. I agree, I agree, so so so for
(49:53):
folks who didn't hear it, let me just read you
the headline. Okay, Trump Executive order races Arizona's Tuskegee Airmen
and women World War Two pilots. Okay, that's the headline.
For a time, it seemed as if the Trump administration
believed that some of the most important heroes of World
War Two are woke and should be erased from books,
(50:16):
at least if they happen to be black or women.
It doesn't sound like a very fair article. It was
announced last week that because of Donald Trump's executive order
ending DEI and Inclusion and DEI initiatives, the Air Force
would no longer teach about the Tuskegee Airmen. Black pilots
from World War Two are about that wars, women Air
(50:37):
Force Service pilots or WASPS heroes both groups and I agree,
but do you understand this is what they call malicious compliance.
I want to tell you what this was all about.
And also I also double down in this. There's no
place for DEI in the military. None. Anybody who talks
(50:58):
about diversity being our strength. Diversity is a strength, But
what makes us a lethal fighting force is our ability
to unifire many differences and unite under a common banner
as Americans. There are no hyphenated Americans in the American military,
just Americans who accomplish extraordinary things when we are united
in purpose. So dei's distraction from all that is divisive,
(51:22):
it's terrible. It doesn't make us more lethal, it doesn't
increase readiness. It all needs to go. Every second that
an American serviceman or woman spends studying DEI or training
on DEI is a second not training on their weapons
system or their task, whatever their job is to make
them a more effective warfighter. And if they're not training
(51:47):
on that every second of every day, it makes it
less likely for them to come back from foreign battlefields
come home alive. And that, to me is completely unacceptable.
Anything that detracts from the mission readiness lethality needs to go.
Our war fighters should be focused on one mission and
one mission alone, and not this, this social experimentation DEI.
(52:10):
But the reason this is a perfect encapsulation of what
I mean by the deep state. You have bureaucrats who
are unelected, who are left wingers, that hate President Trump
and everything that he stands for, and will do whatever
they can to stifle his agenda and by whatever means
that they can affect. And here in this regard, you
(52:32):
had somebody in the Air Force saying, well, I guess
it'd be bands. DEI. I guess we're not going to
be able to teach about the Tuskegee Ara men. Boy,
that'll really piss the American people off. Oh, I guess
we're not going to be able to teach about these
heroic women, the WASP pilots. Boy, that'll really piss the
American people off. You know who they'll blame. They'll blame
President Trump, and they'll blame the incoming Secretary of Defense
(52:53):
Pete Hegsatt Well. Pete, of course, immediately reversed the band
found out on social media and said, this is ridiculous.
We're reversing it. But you see my point, right, how
having a guy like Pete in that office is critically
important so that we can clear all this insanity out.
(53:15):
The Air Force is in the wrong for doing this.
And this is Look, it's not just the Air Force.
Look at this. Just look at this. Check this out.
What I'm showing you are called command boards. This is it.
This isn't Fort Jackson. Okay, Now look I don't know.
I mean, maybe they just didn't have Donald Trump's inaugural picture,
his picture, his official picture. I don't know. I mean,
(53:38):
it's so over a week later. I don't know all that.
But my point is, there's that one the command board,
no dot. Look at the picture of Donald Trump, the
cartoon picture that they have up there. How about how
about this one? This is the seventy fifth generation squadron.
Like look again, maybe they just haven't gotten the official
(53:59):
picture yet, or maybe there's something more sinister happening and
these are resistors within our ranks, and that simply cannot happen.
You know. President Trump is expected to sign three executive orders.
Actually he did sign three executive orders today that that
would reshape the military, including banning transgender service members, gutting
(54:22):
the military's DEI programs, and reinstating service members discharged for
refusing to get the COVID vaccines. Folks, I'm telling you
this will make the military more lethal. And a word
about transgender service members. We live in the United States
of America. If you want to live your life here
(54:43):
in this country, is trans more power to you? Okay,
but you don't belong in the military. Most people who
are actually come into the military. The military will perform
your trans surgery on the taxpayers. No taxpayer should have
to pay for that, by the way, and the moment
(55:03):
you get that surgery, at least for the next twelve
to eighteen months, and thereafter you're non deployable for twelve months.
During the recovery process, you're on heavy narcotics and you're
taking these hormones that make you non deployable. Now that, Folks,
is not fair to other men and women who serve
in that unit. It is simply not fair to everybody
(55:25):
else around you. If you're not deployable, then why are
you in. There are a litany of reasons why people
cannot join the United States military. Flat feet you can't join.
If you have asthma, you can't join. If you're morbidly obese,
you can't join. We're not throwing shade at any of
(55:45):
the people that suffer from these afflictions, but the military
by definition is exclusionary. I mean, there are a litany
of reasons. Not physically fit can't join. Can't pass a
PT test, can't join. There are a lot of reasons.
How bad hearing can't join, poor eyesight can't join, a
(56:05):
lot of reasons why people can't join. And if you
are non deployable from the moment that you come in,
but that doesn't help with readiness. To me, should not
be in the military. Live the life that you went
outside the military. But military service is not for you.
So anyways, folks, I'm like going way over time here,
(56:29):
way over time. Lots of good things happening in America
right now. Battle group smash that like button a little
great thumb beneath the video turn it green. We try
to get the four hundred likes, four hundred rumbles by
the end of every show. That's our goal. Sometimes we
had it, sometimes we don't, but it helps us make
the leaderboard each and every time. Also, don't want to
forget Wiser from last week. You threw a five dollars
(56:52):
rumble rant tip. I didn't see it until he signed off.
Thank you Wiser for that. We're so grateful to have
you here. And Lady Sunfire, he said, Camp Bernard loves
you well, you know what right back at you. And
you know, Lady Sunfire said that you and your husband
liked my book out Lovelatune. That was my first book.
For folks who were wondering about it. It came out
(57:12):
in twenty twelve. Thank you for reading our story. I
was just a very young lieutenant that was very lucky
to have soldiers, experienced non commissioned officers and soldiers who taught, coached,
and mentored me every step of the way about what
it means to be a leader. I'm grateful for them
(57:32):
every single day. And when I talk about my beliefs
in the military, and it doesn't come from some esoteric
ivory tower place, it comes from my own life experience
and life and death experiences on the battlefield. So I'm
not saying this as somebody who just has ideas. I've
lived it during my time in the army. So you know,
(57:56):
Lady Sunfire, to you and your husband, please don't forget
to tell your husband thank you. First, Nervis and semperfy,
but thank you. Yeah, must have that heater fixed. Sean
is in a T shirt. Yes, I see your comments
about wearing plaid, and yes, in the winter, I wear
a lot of plaid. I do. Plus, those poncho shirts,
(58:18):
they're not like a sponsor of the show, but Pancho.
They're Pancho. That's the name of the brand. Those are
by far the best I get. I'm not getting paid
to say any of this, but they are the best
flannel T shirts out there, so yes, I wear them
a lot. They're super super comfortable. Anyways, battle crew, thank
you all for being with me. Have an amazing week
(58:39):
of shows planned free of course, We've got all the
usual suspects and Savagerich Bears hopefully Brian Dean right on Friday.
Try to get Steve Friend back this week. But as always, folks,
thank you for being with me. That's it for Battleground
Live tonight. God bless you all, and God bless this
amazing country that we call home. Take care, good night,
(59:00):
I'll see you tomorrow
