Speaker 1 (00:01):
It was a prediction that Donald Trump made when he
was running for president.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
He said, if you elect me, guess what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
There are going to be people that are going to
self deport because I'm in charge, and they're going to
realize that it's just not worth staying here. Wow, we
have actual law and order. Well that became a reality,
and the Associated Press is now running this headline, one
point two million immigrants are gone from the US labor
(00:32):
force under Donald Trump. Preliminary data is now confirming it's
tomato season. The article begins, and Lydia is harvesting on
farms in California's Central Valley. She is also anxious attention
from US Immigration and Customs enforcement could up in her
life for more than twenty three years after she illegally
(00:55):
crossed the US Mexico border as a teenager. The worry
is they will pull you over when you're driving and
ask for your papers, is what Lydia said the Associated
Press don't worry. She's not using her last name because
the APS will protect her. She went on to say,
we need to work, we need to feed our families,
and we need to pay our rent. Well, there's also
(01:17):
Americans that need the exact same thing, And what we're
witnessing is many Americans are saying we should put American
workers first. Well, here's the reality. More than one point
four million immigrants have disappeared from the labor force from
January through the end of July, according to the Census
Bureau data analyzed by the Pew Research Center. That includes
(01:40):
people who are in the country illegally as well as
legal residents, but the majority are illegals. Immigrants make up
almost twenty percent is the claim of the US workforce,
and data shows forty five percent of workers are in farming, fishing,
forestry they are immigrants. According to the Pew Senior reyat
searcher Sephany Kramer, about thirty percent of all construction workers
(02:05):
are immigrants and twenty four percent of service workers or immigrants.
She went on to add the loss of immigrant workers
comes as the nation seeing the first decline and the
overall immigrant population after the number of people in the
US I legally reached an all time high they claim
of fourteen million in twenty twenty three. Many believe that
(02:25):
number is off by as many as ten to twelve million.
It's unclear how much of the decline we've seen since
January is due to voluntary departures to pursue other opportunities
and avoid deportation removals under reporting of other technical or
other technical issues. Kramer said, However, we don't believe that
the preliminary numbers indicate net negative migration are so far
(02:49):
off that the decline isn't real. So where they saying, yes,
it's real. People are leaving on their own. Trump campaign,
by the way, on the promise to deport millions of
immigrants working in the US illegally, and he said he
is focusing on deportation efforts also of dangerous criminals first.
(03:10):
But most people detained by ice have no quote, criminal convictions,
is what the left said. So they believe they should
all take away American jobs, which brings me to part
two of the story. Guess what's happening. Americans are actually
now making more money because of these self deportations.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We are seeing a rise in pay which is helping
American families. The broader economic research is consistently finding that
right now we are seeing more Americans are making more
money than they did before. The National Employment Law Project
its study found that if eight point three million undocumented
(03:54):
immigrants were deported, the resulting economic impact could lead to
seven percent increase in pay instantly. The Baker Institute also
reports that pass mass deportations, they claimed lower wages and
cost job losses. But what we're witnessing right now is
the opposite of that, because the unemployment rate has actually
(04:16):
gone down over the same period of time, not up.
So what does it mean. It means that Donald Trump
and what he is saying is actually working. Quote average
hourly wages have not decreased as the left promise and
the media said, what's going to happen. In fact, they
have accelerated, rising by zero point four percent over the
(04:38):
last month. Yes, in May, for example, it went up
zero point four percent to thirty six twenty four in
May as businesses adjusted to a tighter labor supply as
many were self deporting. Now this also goes in the
face of the argument that there would be fewer jobs
(04:58):
Americans would take than Americans would do the jobs illegal
immigrants are doing. All of that has also now been
a lie. A labor economist of the Federal Reserve Bank
in Dallas said immigrants normally contribute at least fifty percent
of job growth in the US. But what we're seeing
now is Americans coming out of the woodwork for the
jobs that they couldn't get before because they were taken
(05:21):
by illegal immigrant labor.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The influx across the border, from what we can tell,
is essentially stopped, and that's where we were getting millions
and millions of migrants over the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Last four years.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That has a huge impact on the ability to quote
create jobs now. You can also go back to the
fear mongering story from the AP. Their subheadline was crops
did go to waste. Just across the border from Mexico
and Mcowan, Texas, corn and cotton fields are about ready
to harvest. Elizabeth Rodriguez worries there won't be enough workers
(05:56):
available to deal with the gens and other machinery once
the fields are cleared. They say immigration enforcement actions at
farms are hurting them, businesses and construction sites. They say
it's bring everything to a standstill. Rodriguez, by the way,
is the director of farm worker Advocacy for the National
(06:17):
farm Worker Ministry that loves illegal immigrant labor. So there
is two sides the story. Yes, it's not good for
illegal immigrants, right now. And yes, they're trying to fearmonger
you that you're not going to have anything on the shelves.
You may remember, by the way, that's the exact same
fear mongering they said when they said Donald Trump was
(06:37):
going to ruin our economy with a terrif fight that
he was willing to take to other countries that were
taking advantage of the United States of America. Well, guess
what they lied to you then, and they're lying to
you now. In fact, in May, during the peak of
our watermelon and cantalop season, it delayed it. A lot
of crops did go to waste, is the new claim
(06:58):
from the Associated Press. When asked to back it up.
What are we actually seeing, Well, not a lot of
data to back that up at all. In fact, there
were plenty of Americans that had no problem finding a
water melon, that's right. So what's gonna happen next. It
is clear that the President of the United States of
America is going after illegal immigrant laborers, and many of
(07:21):
them are saying it's just not worth it anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Business is not good in.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
America if you're an illegal immigrant, because Donald Trump is
actually enforcing the laws and most of the men and
women who work in the farms. For example, in California,
our contractor provided day laborers. There were days earlier this year,
they say, when crews would be smaller. One of those,
Lisa Tate, manages her family business that grows citrus fruits,
(07:49):
avocados and coffee on eight ranches and eight hundred acres.
And what did she say, Well, she's concerned. She said
there were days this year when the cruise were just smaller.
She's hesitant to place the blame on immigration policy, but
she fears that ice raids spread quickly.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So what is she actually doing. She knows what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's very clear that the labors that she is using
for day labor are probably you guessed it, illegal immigrants.
And dozens of area farm workers were arrested late this spring,
sending another message the present is not messing around.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
People are being taken out of the laundry mats off
the side of the road, Tait said. Lydia, the farm
worker who spoke to the AP by the way through
an interpreter, sent her biggest fear is being sent back
to Mexico. Now, at thirty six, she's married with three
school aged children who were born in the US. It's interesting,
by the way, she's been here for so long but
(08:48):
still has decided not to learn English.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I don't know if I'll be able to bring my kids,
said Lydia. I'm also very concerned. I've had to start
from zero if I left. My whole life has been
in the United States of America. So there's the fear
mongering for the ap but if you look at the reality,
more Americans now are able to provide for their families,
and they're also making more money now than they've made
(09:14):
ever before. I want to talk to you about my
friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago, I
got my new order of silver. Now I'm investing in
silver right now because the pricing on it is amazing
and the.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Upside well, it's real.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It
is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one
hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought it
at the right price and I wasn't paying massive up
charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then when
you go to sell them, you take away all of
(09:51):
your earning potential.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Why do they do it?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
This way at Kurt Elliott because they have transparent pricing
up front.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's very simple.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You pay eight percent when you buy, and here's what
matters to you the most, nothing when you sell. There
are no hidden fees ever with Kurt Elliott Precious Metals.
This is the reason why I recommend them. It's not
just about investing, it's about making sure you get more
for your money. And that is exactly why Kurt Elliott
(10:21):
helps people all the time. Whether it's gold or silver,
you can hold it, be a good steward of it,
you can pass it on to future generations, and you
can build wealth with it. It's real, bollyon, never gimmicks,
just investment grade gold and silver, No overpriced coins, no
flashy markups. And it's a company that I love because
(10:43):
they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure, just
honest care. They treat every client like family, offering honest
answers up front to help you make wise informed decisions. Now,
if you're seeking a partner when it comes to gold
and silver with an eternity mindset, visit k e PM
(11:06):
dot com slash ben. That's k e PM dot com
slash Ben. You can also call them seven two zero
six oh five thirty nine hundred. That's seven two zero
six oh five thirty nine hundred. So let's faithfully steward
what God has given so you can experience real peace
(11:27):
now and for generations to come.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
K e pm dot com slash ben.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
President Donald Trump made it very clear when he was
running for president and backing it up now that if
you are in the drug trade, he considers you a
dangerous individual that is a member of a terrorist organization,
and he's not going to allow Americans to die at
the hands of fetnyl and other drugs that have been
pouring into this country. Now, lots of those drugs have
(11:56):
been stopped because we have secured the border, but the.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
President says that's not enough.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And now we're seeing what is next on the present's agenda.
The United States has significantly ramped up its military presence
in the Southern Caribbean. We are now learning this started
in late August and now in two September, as the
US Navy has deployed around seven to eight warships, including
(12:25):
very large cruisers, amphibious assault vessels, and at least one
nuclear powered submarine. That's not all more than four thousand
US personnel, including about twenty two hundred Marines, are now
operating in the area. This build up includes surveillance aircraft
and even a US spy plane. We're being told the
(12:49):
stated objective is actually very clear combat drug cartels, and
the Trump administration has framed this deployment as part of
a broader campaign against Latin American drug trafficking and criminal networks.
Officials have labeled Venezuelan President Maduro as a narco trafficker,
(13:09):
boosting the reward for his capture now to fifty million dollars,
and designating his alleged cartel of the SUNS a terrorist organization.
Merdua's reaction has been fierce. He's armed and mobilized and defiant.
President Maduro taking strong countermeasures, deploying troops along the coast
(13:32):
and Columbia border. He's also called on citizens to join
civilian militias and warned he would quote constitutionally declare republic
in arms if the US forces attack. Maduro and other
Venezuelan officials are now accusing the US of using anti
drug rhetoric as a pretext for regime change and gunboat diplomacy.
(13:57):
Here's more about the move from Fox News call.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
The US is deploying destroyers and thousands of marines towards
Venezuela as President Trump looks to crack down on Kurtels
and the Madudo regime. They could reportedly reach the country's
coast as soon as tomorrow. Here to discuss is dissident
project speaker and an immigrant from Venezuela, Jorgue Galitia, along
with frager U political commentator and Venezuelan political refugee Franklin Carmargo.
(14:26):
So great to have you both on. I'm going to
start with you, corde Ke. What is the reaction to
Venezuelan's I know you guys are in close contact with
people who are living there right now. Over seventy eighty
percent of the country voted for the opposition party against Madudo.
How are they feeling in this moment, knowing that these
destroyers are coming so close to the Venezuelan coast.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well, first of all, Rachel, thank you for having me again.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I think how many people in Venezuela are extremely optimistic.
They cannot really be loud about it because they're facing
a terrible criminal regime.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I spoke to one of the opposition activists who was
holed up in that embassy for over a year before
she was rescued, And I asked her and she said,
it's a silent euphoria. And so while they're quietly celebrating
what President Trump is doing right now in Venezuelan and
(15:20):
frankly for the whole Western hemisphere Franklin, meanwhile, Venezuelans who
are living abroad are putting out the most remarkable TikTok
Instagram videos I've ever seen. You're seeing the destroyers coming
into the ocean and the planes coming overhead and YMCA playing,
and just the euphoria from the dissident community who's abroad
(15:42):
is so palpable and thankful to the administration. Give us
more context to that.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yes, the Venezuela and people recognizes that the Truma administration
is probably one of the biggest allies that freedom fighters
Venezuela freedom fighters have had over the last twenty five years.
Is someone who has read recognized that Maduro is not
just a threat to South America's not just a threat
to Venezuelans, but it's also a threat to the American people.
(16:07):
And I think it is the most important thing to
mention right now when we talk about Nicolas Maduru. When
we talk about the Venezuelan regime, we're not just talking
about a government that we dislike or a dictatorship, a
soft dictatorship. We're talking about a narco state, a government
that produced over twenty five percent of the entire cocaine
(16:27):
that is produced in the entire world. It's also a
regime that sent Trendoraga, the same criminal organization that killed,
for example, Lake in Riley, or that killed Joseline Noungarai.
So there is a need for the American people, for
the well being of the American people in the Western hemisphere,
(16:48):
to have a regime changed to stop to stop these cartels.
But Venezuelans recognized that Trump is an ally that the
US government is probably the biggest vote that we currently have.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now you hear the stats there, and it's very clear
that not only is this in essence a failed state,
it's a state where the people rose up against Maduro
and he just clung to power anyway, And now we
know that he is nothing but a narco terrorist. It
is a terrorist organization that he's a part of, and
his money is coming directly from the cocaine that he
(17:22):
is delivering to the world. Yet Venezuela's president is now
accusing the United States of seeking regime change in his
country and the military deployment that has happened now, it
was authorized by President Trump in a simple effort to
disrupt drug cartel activity. It's part of the White Houses,
they described it his broader border policy. Maduro said the
(17:43):
build up is an intervention in his quote country's affairs,
saying this to the people, they are seeking regime change
through military threat, and that's where he also wants the
rest of the world to believe. Maduro added, quote Venezuela
is confronting the biggest threat that has ever seen on
our continent in the last one hundred years, and saying
(18:04):
a situation like this has never been seen. Maduro said
Venezuela won't bow to threats and that it was super prepared.
Now the Trump administration is accused again Madua of engaging
in drug trafficking, going so far as to announce that
fifty million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest
and his conviction. The fifty million dollars, that is not
(18:27):
a little amount of money when it comes to how
much we're willing to pay as a nation. This is
one of the biggest rewards we've ever had. Take a
listen to this from Fox as well.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
People have wanted to do this for years.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
President Trump putting war back in the War on drugs,
designating eight drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
It allows us to now target what they're operating and
to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the
Department of Defense, whatever, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
To target these groups.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
If we have an opportunity to do it, we have
to start treating them as armed tear organizations, not simply
drug dealing organizations.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
That changes the battlefield. Cartel members become enemy combatants and
allow the use of military assets. The question is how
the Navy intercepting ships carrying narcotics special operations targeting cartel
leaders or drone strikes on drug labs in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Mexico probably doesn't want that. What do we have to do?
What's right?
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Publicly, President Claudia Scheinbaum says Mexico will cooperate, but claims
the US plans no boots on the ground, nothing in it.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
It has nothing to do with Mexican territory. It has
to do with their country. It does not involve our territory.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Yet most cocaine goes through Mexico, and it produces most
of the fentanyl that killed more than two hundred and
sixty five thousand Americans during President Biden's term.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
These are armed organizations that have their own militaries. I
absolutely believe that we need to take action.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
It's what type of action are we going to take.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
But just because you don't hear about an operation doesn't
mean it didn't happen. Now, one of the name cartels
is the Venezuelan gang Trende a Agua. Last week, the
US slept a fifty million dollar bounty on President Nicholas Maduro,
accusing him of using it to help traffic narcotics into
the US.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Let's just stop there for a second and also just
recognize something that was said there. Under the Biden administration,
more than a quarter million Americans died from fetnol an
overdose from fetnol. You think about that number, and then
you think about these cartels. They've engaged in historic violence
and tear throughout our hemisphere and around the globe. They
(20:43):
have destabilized the economies and internal security of countries while
also flooding the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals,
and vicious gangs.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That is what the Chief.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Pentagon spokesman, Sean Parnell said during a news conference this week.
He also said this it requires a whole of government
effort and through coordination with regional partners, the Department of
Defense will undoubtedly play an important role in meeting the
Presence objective to eliminate the ability of these cartels to
threaten the territory, safety and the security of the United
(21:20):
States and its people. As a matter of security and policy,
we do not speculate on future operations now. What is
very clear is the Presidence saying I'm not waiting around
for nations to act. I'm going to act now because
it's important that we protect and defend America's home lan
(21:41):
and make sure that while he's present, another quarter million
Americans don't lose their lives to FETNL overdoses, and that
doesn't count all of those that are killed by cartel
members and the violent gangs that are in America as well.
So the DC mayor has had a major chain of
her rhetoric when it comes to reversing what crime is
(22:04):
doing in her city. Yes, she's totally reversing course now
admitting that Donald Trump's federal crime crackdown is in fact working.
Mayor Bowser cited an eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings
during the twenty day federal law enforcement deployment. Just take
(22:25):
a listen to the conversation that was had on Fox
News Channel about what she said and also the data.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what
MPD has been able to do in this city. Well,
we know it's not working. Is a break and trust
between police and community, especially with new federal partners in
(22:55):
our community. We know having massed ice agents and the
community has not worked.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
Okay, but let's listen to some residents here.
Speaker 10 (23:05):
Navy Yard has kind of been a hot area before
all the you know, additional security. It was a little
dicey at times, especially at later times in the hour.
I would see fights break out whenever are just walking home.
But now it's a lot more quiet.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
I'm welcome and I think it's a great idea. And
I have noticed that they have been cleaning some of
the graffiti off in some of the areas, like on
the highways and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
What about the fallout of all this tough.
Speaker 12 (23:37):
Well, we just had a poll come out yesterday ap
poles here eighty one percent of people think that crime
is a problem in major, major problem in urban areas.
Trump's approval rating on crime was fifty four percent in
that pole, and the Harvard Harris pole was fifty one percent,
his highest rating of any of the issues that they
questioned voters about. So, I think what you saw from
the mayor, which she said, is a bit surprising. I
think that's her responding to her constituents. She's hearing people
(24:00):
who were saying that, especially in the areas where crime
is the worst, that they feel safer and that's not
a bad thing. Democrats have managed to box themselves in
on another eighty twenty issue and are trying to find
a way out, and I think the mayor has recognized that,
and she's obviously in the middle of it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yet again, here Democrats on the wrong side of the issue.
This is an issue where the majority of Americans say
that they want to fill safe. In fact, for decades,
Democrats have been saying this, and now what is happening. Well,
President Donald Trump says, I'm with you. I want to
drive down crime in some of her most dangerous cities,
and Democrats are angry. Why they're coming down once again
(24:42):
on the wrong side of an issue that affects millions
of Americans. And the question you should ask yourself is this,
Why would the leaders of high crime cities like Washington,
DC or Chicago object to the President helping to make
their streets safer. I'll tell you why they're panicked. They're
panic that Donald trum is succeeding exposing them as inept,
(25:04):
as corrupt, as leaders that really just want to control cities,
even if it means they're filled with crime. For decades,
by the way, Democrats have been struggling to overcome the
accusations on the facts that they were soft on crime.
Go back to nineteen ninety four. Trying to combat that charge,
(25:25):
President Bill Clinton signed a law the most sweeping anti
crime bill at the time in history, and funded actually
the hiring of one hundred thousand new police officers. It
also authorized a construction of new prisons and introduced that
three strikes law mandating lengthy jail terms for repeat offenders. Now,
(25:45):
Democrats are furious. They are furious that crime is actually
going down in DC, and they're also even more angry
that the President said this about you know, the prospect
of places like Chicago getting some extra hell.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
And after we do this, we'll go to another location
and we'll make it safe.
Speaker 14 (26:04):
Al So we're going to make our country very safe.
We're going to make our cities very very safe. Chicago's
a mess. You have an incompetent mayor grossly incompetent. And
we'll straighten that one out probably next. That'll be our
next one after this, and it won't even be tough.
And the people in.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Chicago, mister Vice President, are screaming for us to come there.
They're wearing red hats, just like this one, but they're
wearing red hats. African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, please,
President Trump, come to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Please.
Speaker 13 (26:39):
I did great with the black vote, as you know,
and they want something to happen.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
So I think Chicago will be our next, and then
we'll help.
Speaker 13 (26:46):
With New York, and we're going to help with and
I think, really, I think a lot of and a
lot of these people that you see on television, they are,
including the people in this audience. They'll say bad things
about me, and then they'll say thank you he's here
because half of them got mugged and they don't want
to get mugged again. But they're you know, they work
for a ladder, if they work for stupid people that
(27:08):
are radical left, and they're made to do things and
say things that they.
Speaker 14 (27:12):
Don't want to be saying.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
This goes back to the real problem. And if you
look at the present and what he's saying there, he's
absolutely right. You had Democrats that used to be in
favor of fighting crime and saving black lives. Now they're
soft on crime. Democrats' literal high water mark for cracking
down on crime was in nineteen ninety four. The party leaders,
(27:34):
including former President Joe Biden, are now at a point
where they apologize for being tough on crime. They literally
apologize for the nineteen ninety four crime bill it is
and then post George Floyd in that error. Democrats have
adopted policies as openly we want to defund the police,
(27:55):
we want to have no bail, we want to have
prison reform, we want to shut down prisons. And that
that's what made our cities, or especially the cities they
run liberal cities, so dangerous because they favored criminals over
their citizens. They also did this on the issue of
I legal immigration flooding these liberal cities with criminals. President
(28:16):
Trump saying, hey, I'm going to do this. I'm going
to save people's lives. We're going to reverse course on this.
I'm going to go wherever I can, and if I
can send troops, I'm going to do it for one reason,
to stop the violence and to stop the killing. And
what a Democrat say, You're a dictator and a tyrant
if you do it. So now you go back to
(28:38):
the mayor in DC. Why is the mayor in DC
saying what she's saying now because the citizens are telling
her that they're glad this is happening. You look at
Chicago's mayor, for example. He is the complete opposite of this. Right,
He's saying, well, President Trump, if you send the National Guard,
we're going to stand up to you in the Windy City.
The most flagrant violation of our constitution the twenty first centuries,
(29:01):
how I described on acts and then he boasted the
city of Chicago does not need a military occupation. Those
are his words. It actually does, by the way, one
headline from this summer sets it all quote at least
fifty five people's shot, eight fatally in the fourth of
July weekend. So Brandon Johnson's like, no, no, no, no, you
don't understand. I don't want any help. Well, you clearly
(29:22):
need it. You need the help big time. The mayor
in his own words, talking about crime. I want you
to hear what he had to say. Listen carefully.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
Potentially next for more expanded deportation efforts, potentially military deployments.
But I'm wondering, in light of that, have you seen
anything to confirm that or what would be the process
for you while learning if that were to come to pass.
Speaker 15 (29:46):
Thank you for the question. It's not like the federal
government has given us any heads up, right, there's no
communication from the federal government with our local police department.
It's quite problematic. This is why we're relaunching our New
York Rights Campaign. There's a great deal of resistance in
this city around a host of things from the Trump administration.
The fact that again that he's removing black history right,
(30:10):
that he's attacking the LGBTQ plus community as much as
we possibly can, whether it's in the courts, whether it's
in the streets. With policy, we're going to continue to
defend and center.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
For working people. And just to follow up, would you know,
in like, is there a procedure or anything that the
federal government needs to notify you before something like that
were to happen, a National Guard deployment or marines or
something like that.
Speaker 15 (30:37):
I think it's important that the president respects the Constitution.
And if you're asking me if this president is going
to work with city leaders, it's clear that he's not
interested in doing that. He's not even interested in working
with Congress, which this is where these issues should be
taken up. They have not moved on anything substantive at
(30:59):
the federal level. There's no effort for comprehensive immigration reform
that could help repair a broken system. There's no commitment
to help transform our economy. There's no commitment to invest
in our public education system. The only thing that we
received from this president is his ungoing attack against equity, diversity,
(31:20):
his ungoing attack against working people. Establishing policy that ultimately
protects the interests of the wealthy of this country is
the priority that he has carried out. Anything other than that,
he's been a miserable disappointment and failure.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That the President is actually lowering crime, and the Chicago
mayor is like, oh, he's just an evil guy that
likes the rich people and then goes on these tirades
that have nothing to do with protecting his citizens, and
the President says, I'm not waiting around any longer. I
am going to protect the citizens of the United States
of America wherever I can. Don't forget share this podcast
(32:03):
wherever you can with your family and your friends, and
I'll see you back here tomorrow.
It was a prediction that Donald Trump made when he
was running for president.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
He said, if you elect me, guess what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
There are going to be people that are going to
self deport because I'm in charge, and they're going to
realize that it's just not worth staying here. Wow, we
have actual law and order. Well that became a reality,
and the Associated Press is now running this headline, one
point two million immigrants are gone from the US labor
(00:32):
force under Donald Trump. Preliminary data is now confirming it's
tomato season. The article begins, and Lydia is harvesting on
farms in California's Central Valley. She is also anxious attention
from US Immigration and Customs enforcement could up in her
life for more than twenty three years after she illegally
(00:55):
crossed the US Mexico border as a teenager. The worry
is they will pull you over when you're driving and
ask for your papers, is what Lydia said the Associated
Press don't worry. She's not using her last name because
the APS will protect her. She went on to say,
we need to work, we need to feed our families,
and we need to pay our rent. Well, there's also
(01:17):
Americans that need the exact same thing, And what we're
witnessing is many Americans are saying we should put American
workers first. Well, here's the reality. More than one point
four million immigrants have disappeared from the labor force from
January through the end of July, according to the Census
Bureau data analyzed by the Pew Research Center. That includes
(01:40):
people who are in the country illegally as well as
legal residents, but the majority are illegals. Immigrants make up
almost twenty percent is the claim of the US workforce,
and data shows forty five percent of workers are in farming, fishing,
forestry they are immigrants. According to the Pew Senior reyat
searcher Sephany Kramer, about thirty percent of all construction workers
(02:05):
are immigrants and twenty four percent of service workers or immigrants.
She went on to add the loss of immigrant workers
comes as the nation seeing the first decline and the
overall immigrant population after the number of people in the
US I legally reached an all time high they claim
of fourteen million in twenty twenty three. Many believe that
(02:25):
number is off by as many as ten to twelve million.
It's unclear how much of the decline we've seen since
January is due to voluntary departures to pursue other opportunities
and avoid deportation removals under reporting of other technical or
other technical issues. Kramer said, However, we don't believe that
the preliminary numbers indicate net negative migration are so far
(02:49):
off that the decline isn't real. So where they saying, yes,
it's real. People are leaving on their own. Trump campaign,
by the way, on the promise to deport millions of
immigrants working in the US illegally, and he said he
is focusing on deportation efforts also of dangerous criminals first.
(03:10):
But most people detained by ice have no quote, criminal convictions,
is what the left said. So they believe they should
all take away American jobs, which brings me to part
two of the story. Guess what's happening. Americans are actually
now making more money because of these self deportations.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We are seeing a rise in pay which is helping
American families. The broader economic research is consistently finding that
right now we are seeing more Americans are making more
money than they did before. The National Employment Law Project
its study found that if eight point three million undocumented
(03:54):
immigrants were deported, the resulting economic impact could lead to
seven percent increase in pay instantly. The Baker Institute also
reports that pass mass deportations, they claimed lower wages and
cost job losses. But what we're witnessing right now is
the opposite of that, because the unemployment rate has actually
(04:16):
gone down over the same period of time, not up.
So what does it mean. It means that Donald Trump
and what he is saying is actually working. Quote average
hourly wages have not decreased as the left promise and
the media said, what's going to happen. In fact, they
have accelerated, rising by zero point four percent over the
(04:38):
last month. Yes, in May, for example, it went up
zero point four percent to thirty six twenty four in
May as businesses adjusted to a tighter labor supply as
many were self deporting. Now this also goes in the
face of the argument that there would be fewer jobs
(04:58):
Americans would take than Americans would do the jobs illegal
immigrants are doing. All of that has also now been
a lie. A labor economist of the Federal Reserve Bank
in Dallas said immigrants normally contribute at least fifty percent
of job growth in the US. But what we're seeing
now is Americans coming out of the woodwork for the
jobs that they couldn't get before because they were taken
(05:21):
by illegal immigrant labor.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The influx across the border, from what we can tell,
is essentially stopped, and that's where we were getting millions
and millions of migrants over the.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Last four years.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That has a huge impact on the ability to quote
create jobs now. You can also go back to the
fear mongering story from the AP. Their subheadline was crops
did go to waste. Just across the border from Mexico
and Mcowan, Texas, corn and cotton fields are about ready
to harvest. Elizabeth Rodriguez worries there won't be enough workers
(05:56):
available to deal with the gens and other machinery once
the fields are cleared. They say immigration enforcement actions at
farms are hurting them, businesses and construction sites. They say
it's bring everything to a standstill. Rodriguez, by the way,
is the director of farm worker Advocacy for the National
(06:17):
farm Worker Ministry that loves illegal immigrant labor. So there
is two sides the story. Yes, it's not good for
illegal immigrants, right now. And yes, they're trying to fearmonger
you that you're not going to have anything on the shelves.
You may remember, by the way, that's the exact same
fear mongering they said when they said Donald Trump was
(06:37):
going to ruin our economy with a terrif fight that
he was willing to take to other countries that were
taking advantage of the United States of America. Well, guess
what they lied to you then, and they're lying to
you now. In fact, in May, during the peak of
our watermelon and cantalop season, it delayed it. A lot
of crops did go to waste, is the new claim
(06:58):
from the Associated Press. When asked to back it up.
What are we actually seeing, Well, not a lot of
data to back that up at all. In fact, there
were plenty of Americans that had no problem finding a
water melon, that's right. So what's gonna happen next. It
is clear that the President of the United States of
America is going after illegal immigrant laborers, and many of
(07:21):
them are saying it's just not worth it anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Business is not good in.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
America if you're an illegal immigrant, because Donald Trump is
actually enforcing the laws and most of the men and
women who work in the farms. For example, in California,
our contractor provided day laborers. There were days earlier this year,
they say, when crews would be smaller. One of those,
Lisa Tate, manages her family business that grows citrus fruits,
(07:49):
avocados and coffee on eight ranches and eight hundred acres.
And what did she say, Well, she's concerned. She said
there were days this year when the cruise were just smaller.
She's hesitant to place the blame on immigration policy, but
she fears that ice raids spread quickly.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So what is she actually doing. She knows what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's very clear that the labors that she is using
for day labor are probably you guessed it, illegal immigrants.
And dozens of area farm workers were arrested late this spring,
sending another message the present is not messing around.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
People are being taken out of the laundry mats off
the side of the road, Tait said. Lydia, the farm
worker who spoke to the AP by the way through
an interpreter, sent her biggest fear is being sent back
to Mexico. Now, at thirty six, she's married with three
school aged children who were born in the US. It's interesting,
by the way, she's been here for so long but
(08:48):
still has decided not to learn English.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I don't know if I'll be able to bring my kids,
said Lydia. I'm also very concerned. I've had to start
from zero if I left. My whole life has been
in the United States of America. So there's the fear
mongering for the ap but if you look at the reality,
more Americans now are able to provide for their families,
and they're also making more money now than they've made
(09:14):
ever before. I want to talk to you about my
friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago, I
got my new order of silver. Now I'm investing in
silver right now because the pricing on it is amazing
and the.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Upside well, it's real.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It
is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one
hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought it
at the right price and I wasn't paying massive up
charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then when
you go to sell them, you take away all of
(09:51):
your earning potential.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Why do they do it?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
This way at Kurt Elliott because they have transparent pricing
up front.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's very simple.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You pay eight percent when you buy, and here's what
matters to you the most, nothing when you sell. There
are no hidden fees ever with Kurt Elliott Precious Metals.
This is the reason why I recommend them. It's not
just about investing, it's about making sure you get more
for your money. And that is exactly why Kurt Elliott
(10:21):
helps people all the time. Whether it's gold or silver,
you can hold it, be a good steward of it,
you can pass it on to future generations, and you
can build wealth with it. It's real, bollyon, never gimmicks,
just investment grade gold and silver, No overpriced coins, no
flashy markups. And it's a company that I love because
(10:43):
they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure, just
honest care. They treat every client like family, offering honest
answers up front to help you make wise informed decisions. Now,
if you're seeking a partner when it comes to gold
and silver with an eternity mindset, visit k e PM

what God has given so you can experience real peace
(11:27):
now and for generations to come.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
President Donald Trump made it very clear when he was
running for president and backing it up now that if
you are in the drug trade, he considers you a
dangerous individual that is a member of a terrorist organization,
and he's not going to allow Americans to die at
the hands of fetnyl and other drugs that have been
pouring into this country. Now, lots of those drugs have
(11:56):
been stopped because we have secured the border, but the.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
President says that's not enough.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And now we're seeing what is next on the present's agenda.
The United States has significantly ramped up its military presence
in the Southern Caribbean. We are now learning this started
in late August and now in two September, as the
US Navy has deployed around seven to eight warships, including
(12:25):
very large cruisers, amphibious assault vessels, and at least one
nuclear powered submarine. That's not all more than four thousand
US personnel, including about twenty two hundred Marines, are now
operating in the area. This build up includes surveillance aircraft
and even a US spy plane. We're being told the
(12:49):
stated objective is actually very clear combat drug cartels, and
the Trump administration has framed this deployment as part of
a broader campaign against Latin American drug trafficking and criminal networks.
Officials have labeled Venezuelan President Maduro as a narco trafficker,
(13:09):
boosting the reward for his capture now to fifty million dollars,
and designating his alleged cartel of the SUNS a terrorist organization.
Merdua's reaction has been fierce. He's armed and mobilized and defiant.
President Maduro taking strong countermeasures, deploying troops along the coast
(13:32):
and Columbia border. He's also called on citizens to join
civilian militias and warned he would quote constitutionally declare republic
in arms if the US forces attack. Maduro and other
Venezuelan officials are now accusing the US of using anti
drug rhetoric as a pretext for regime change and gunboat diplomacy.
(13:57):
Here's more about the move from Fox News call.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
The US is deploying destroyers and thousands of marines towards
Venezuela as President Trump looks to crack down on Kurtels
and the Madudo regime. They could reportedly reach the country's
coast as soon as tomorrow. Here to discuss is dissident
project speaker and an immigrant from Venezuela, Jorgue Galitia, along
with frager U political commentator and Venezuelan political refugee Franklin Carmargo.
(14:26):
So great to have you both on. I'm going to
start with you, corde Ke. What is the reaction to
Venezuelan's I know you guys are in close contact with
people who are living there right now. Over seventy eighty
percent of the country voted for the opposition party against Madudo.
How are they feeling in this moment, knowing that these
destroyers are coming so close to the Venezuelan coast.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well, first of all, Rachel, thank you for having me again.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I think how many people in Venezuela are extremely optimistic.
They cannot really be loud about it because they're facing
a terrible criminal regime.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I spoke to one of the opposition activists who was
holed up in that embassy for over a year before
she was rescued, And I asked her and she said,
it's a silent euphoria. And so while they're quietly celebrating
what President Trump is doing right now in Venezuelan and
(15:20):
frankly for the whole Western hemisphere Franklin, meanwhile, Venezuelans who
are living abroad are putting out the most remarkable TikTok
Instagram videos I've ever seen. You're seeing the destroyers coming
into the ocean and the planes coming overhead and YMCA playing,
and just the euphoria from the dissident community who's abroad
(15:42):
is so palpable and thankful to the administration. Give us
more context to that.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yes, the Venezuela and people recognizes that the Truma administration
is probably one of the biggest allies that freedom fighters
Venezuela freedom fighters have had over the last twenty five years.
Is someone who has read recognized that Maduro is not
just a threat to South America's not just a threat
to Venezuelans, but it's also a threat to the American people.
(16:07):
And I think it is the most important thing to
mention right now when we talk about Nicolas Maduru. When
we talk about the Venezuelan regime, we're not just talking
about a government that we dislike or a dictatorship, a
soft dictatorship. We're talking about a narco state, a government
that produced over twenty five percent of the entire cocaine
(16:27):
that is produced in the entire world. It's also a
regime that sent Trendoraga, the same criminal organization that killed,
for example, Lake in Riley, or that killed Joseline Noungarai.
So there is a need for the American people, for
the well being of the American people in the Western hemisphere,
(16:48):
to have a regime changed to stop to stop these cartels.
But Venezuelans recognized that Trump is an ally that the
US government is probably the biggest vote that we currently have.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now you hear the stats there, and it's very clear
that not only is this in essence a failed state,
it's a state where the people rose up against Maduro
and he just clung to power anyway, And now we
know that he is nothing but a narco terrorist. It
is a terrorist organization that he's a part of, and
his money is coming directly from the cocaine that he
(17:22):
is delivering to the world. Yet Venezuela's president is now
accusing the United States of seeking regime change in his
country and the military deployment that has happened now, it
was authorized by President Trump in a simple effort to
disrupt drug cartel activity. It's part of the White Houses,
they described it his broader border policy. Maduro said the
(17:43):
build up is an intervention in his quote country's affairs,
saying this to the people, they are seeking regime change
through military threat, and that's where he also wants the
rest of the world to believe. Maduro added, quote Venezuela
is confronting the biggest threat that has ever seen on
our continent in the last one hundred years, and saying
(18:04):
a situation like this has never been seen. Maduro said
Venezuela won't bow to threats and that it was super prepared.
Now the Trump administration is accused again Madua of engaging
in drug trafficking, going so far as to announce that
fifty million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest
and his conviction. The fifty million dollars, that is not
(18:27):
a little amount of money when it comes to how
much we're willing to pay as a nation. This is
one of the biggest rewards we've ever had. Take a
listen to this from Fox as well.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
People have wanted to do this for years.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
President Trump putting war back in the War on drugs,
designating eight drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
It allows us to now target what they're operating and
to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the
Department of Defense, whatever, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
To target these groups.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
If we have an opportunity to do it, we have
to start treating them as armed tear organizations, not simply
drug dealing organizations.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
That changes the battlefield. Cartel members become enemy combatants and
allow the use of military assets. The question is how
the Navy intercepting ships carrying narcotics special operations targeting cartel
leaders or drone strikes on drug labs in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Mexico probably doesn't want that. What do we have to do?
What's right?
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Publicly, President Claudia Scheinbaum says Mexico will cooperate, but claims
the US plans no boots on the ground, nothing in it.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
It has nothing to do with Mexican territory. It has
to do with their country. It does not involve our territory.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Yet most cocaine goes through Mexico, and it produces most
of the fentanyl that killed more than two hundred and
sixty five thousand Americans during President Biden's term.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
These are armed organizations that have their own militaries. I
absolutely believe that we need to take action.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
It's what type of action are we going to take.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
But just because you don't hear about an operation doesn't
mean it didn't happen. Now, one of the name cartels
is the Venezuelan gang Trende a Agua. Last week, the
US slept a fifty million dollar bounty on President Nicholas Maduro,
accusing him of using it to help traffic narcotics into
the US.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Let's just stop there for a second and also just
recognize something that was said there. Under the Biden administration,
more than a quarter million Americans died from fetnol an
overdose from fetnol. You think about that number, and then
you think about these cartels. They've engaged in historic violence
and tear throughout our hemisphere and around the globe. They
(20:43):
have destabilized the economies and internal security of countries while
also flooding the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals,
and vicious gangs.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That is what the Chief.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Pentagon spokesman, Sean Parnell said during a news conference this week.
He also said this it requires a whole of government
effort and through coordination with regional partners, the Department of
Defense will undoubtedly play an important role in meeting the
Presence objective to eliminate the ability of these cartels to
threaten the territory, safety and the security of the United
(21:20):
States and its people. As a matter of security and policy,
we do not speculate on future operations now. What is
very clear is the Presidence saying I'm not waiting around
for nations to act. I'm going to act now because
it's important that we protect and defend America's home lan
(21:41):
and make sure that while he's present, another quarter million
Americans don't lose their lives to FETNL overdoses, and that
doesn't count all of those that are killed by cartel
members and the violent gangs that are in America as well.
So the DC mayor has had a major chain of
her rhetoric when it comes to reversing what crime is
(22:04):
doing in her city. Yes, she's totally reversing course now
admitting that Donald Trump's federal crime crackdown is in fact working.
Mayor Bowser cited an eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings
during the twenty day federal law enforcement deployment. Just take
(22:25):
a listen to the conversation that was had on Fox
News Channel about what she said and also the data.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what
MPD has been able to do in this city. Well,
we know it's not working. Is a break and trust
between police and community, especially with new federal partners in
(22:55):
our community. We know having massed ice agents and the
community has not worked.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
Okay, but let's listen to some residents here.
Speaker 10 (23:05):
Navy Yard has kind of been a hot area before
all the you know, additional security. It was a little
dicey at times, especially at later times in the hour.
I would see fights break out whenever are just walking home.
But now it's a lot more quiet.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
I'm welcome and I think it's a great idea. And
I have noticed that they have been cleaning some of
the graffiti off in some of the areas, like on
the highways and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
What about the fallout of all this tough.
Speaker 12 (23:37):
Well, we just had a poll come out yesterday ap
poles here eighty one percent of people think that crime
is a problem in major, major problem in urban areas.
Trump's approval rating on crime was fifty four percent in
that pole, and the Harvard Harris pole was fifty one percent,
his highest rating of any of the issues that they
questioned voters about. So, I think what you saw from
the mayor, which she said, is a bit surprising. I
think that's her responding to her constituents. She's hearing people
(24:00):
who were saying that, especially in the areas where crime
is the worst, that they feel safer and that's not
a bad thing. Democrats have managed to box themselves in
on another eighty twenty issue and are trying to find
a way out, and I think the mayor has recognized that,
and she's obviously in the middle of it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yet again, here Democrats on the wrong side of the issue.
This is an issue where the majority of Americans say
that they want to fill safe. In fact, for decades,
Democrats have been saying this, and now what is happening. Well,
President Donald Trump says, I'm with you. I want to
drive down crime in some of her most dangerous cities,
and Democrats are angry. Why they're coming down once again
(24:42):
on the wrong side of an issue that affects millions
of Americans. And the question you should ask yourself is this,
Why would the leaders of high crime cities like Washington,
DC or Chicago object to the President helping to make
their streets safer. I'll tell you why they're panicked. They're
panic that Donald trum is succeeding exposing them as inept,
(25:04):
as corrupt, as leaders that really just want to control cities,
even if it means they're filled with crime. For decades,
by the way, Democrats have been struggling to overcome the
accusations on the facts that they were soft on crime.
Go back to nineteen ninety four. Trying to combat that charge,
(25:25):
President Bill Clinton signed a law the most sweeping anti
crime bill at the time in history, and funded actually
the hiring of one hundred thousand new police officers. It
also authorized a construction of new prisons and introduced that
three strikes law mandating lengthy jail terms for repeat offenders. Now,
(25:45):
Democrats are furious. They are furious that crime is actually
going down in DC, and they're also even more angry
that the President said this about you know, the prospect
of places like Chicago getting some extra hell.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
And after we do this, we'll go to another location
and we'll make it safe.
Speaker 14 (26:04):
Al So we're going to make our country very safe.
We're going to make our cities very very safe. Chicago's
a mess. You have an incompetent mayor grossly incompetent. And
we'll straighten that one out probably next. That'll be our
next one after this, and it won't even be tough.
And the people in.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Chicago, mister Vice President, are screaming for us to come there.
They're wearing red hats, just like this one, but they're
wearing red hats. African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, please,
President Trump, come to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Please.
Speaker 13 (26:39):
I did great with the black vote, as you know,
and they want something to happen.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
So I think Chicago will be our next, and then
we'll help.
Speaker 13 (26:46):
With New York, and we're going to help with and
I think, really, I think a lot of and a
lot of these people that you see on television, they are,
including the people in this audience. They'll say bad things
about me, and then they'll say thank you he's here
because half of them got mugged and they don't want
to get mugged again. But they're you know, they work
for a ladder, if they work for stupid people that
(27:08):
are radical left, and they're made to do things and
say things that they.
Speaker 14 (27:12):
Don't want to be saying.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
This goes back to the real problem. And if you
look at the present and what he's saying there, he's
absolutely right. You had Democrats that used to be in
favor of fighting crime and saving black lives. Now they're
soft on crime. Democrats' literal high water mark for cracking
down on crime was in nineteen ninety four. The party leaders,
(27:34):
including former President Joe Biden, are now at a point
where they apologize for being tough on crime. They literally
apologize for the nineteen ninety four crime bill it is
and then post George Floyd in that error. Democrats have
adopted policies as openly we want to defund the police,
(27:55):
we want to have no bail, we want to have
prison reform, we want to shut down prisons. And that
that's what made our cities, or especially the cities they
run liberal cities, so dangerous because they favored criminals over
their citizens. They also did this on the issue of
I legal immigration flooding these liberal cities with criminals. President
(28:16):
Trump saying, hey, I'm going to do this. I'm going
to save people's lives. We're going to reverse course on this.
I'm going to go wherever I can, and if I
can send troops, I'm going to do it for one reason,
to stop the violence and to stop the killing. And
what a Democrat say, You're a dictator and a tyrant
if you do it. So now you go back to
(28:38):
the mayor in DC. Why is the mayor in DC
saying what she's saying now because the citizens are telling
her that they're glad this is happening. You look at
Chicago's mayor, for example. He is the complete opposite of this. Right,
He's saying, well, President Trump, if you send the National Guard,
we're going to stand up to you in the Windy City.
The most flagrant violation of our constitution the twenty first centuries,
(29:01):
how I described on acts and then he boasted the
city of Chicago does not need a military occupation. Those
are his words. It actually does, by the way, one
headline from this summer sets it all quote at least
fifty five people's shot, eight fatally in the fourth of
July weekend. So Brandon Johnson's like, no, no, no, no, you
don't understand. I don't want any help. Well, you clearly
(29:22):
need it. You need the help big time. The mayor
in his own words, talking about crime. I want you
to hear what he had to say. Listen carefully.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
Potentially next for more expanded deportation efforts, potentially military deployments.
But I'm wondering, in light of that, have you seen
anything to confirm that or what would be the process
for you while learning if that were to come to pass.
Speaker 15 (29:46):
Thank you for the question. It's not like the federal
government has given us any heads up, right, there's no
communication from the federal government with our local police department.
It's quite problematic. This is why we're relaunching our New
York Rights Campaign. There's a great deal of resistance in
this city around a host of things from the Trump administration.
The fact that again that he's removing black history right,
(30:10):
that he's attacking the LGBTQ plus community as much as
we possibly can, whether it's in the courts, whether it's
in the streets. With policy, we're going to continue to
defend and center.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
For working people. And just to follow up, would you know,
in like, is there a procedure or anything that the
federal government needs to notify you before something like that
were to happen, a National Guard deployment or marines or
something like that.
Speaker 15 (30:37):
I think it's important that the president respects the Constitution.
And if you're asking me if this president is going
to work with city leaders, it's clear that he's not
interested in doing that. He's not even interested in working
with Congress, which this is where these issues should be
taken up. They have not moved on anything substantive at
(30:59):
the federal level. There's no effort for comprehensive immigration reform
that could help repair a broken system. There's no commitment
to help transform our economy. There's no commitment to invest
in our public education system. The only thing that we
received from this president is his ungoing attack against equity, diversity,
(31:20):
his ungoing attack against working people. Establishing policy that ultimately
protects the interests of the wealthy of this country is
the priority that he has carried out. Anything other than that,
he's been a miserable disappointment and failure.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That the President is actually lowering crime, and the Chicago
mayor is like, oh, he's just an evil guy that
likes the rich people and then goes on these tirades
that have nothing to do with protecting his citizens, and
the President says, I'm not waiting around any longer. I
am going to protect the citizens of the United States
of America wherever I can. Don't forget share this podcast
(32:03):
wherever you can with your family and your friends, and
I'll see you back here tomorrow.
