Speaker 1 (00:01):
I can't believe I'm going to actually get to say this.
It's exciting news, and it's exciting for law and order
in this country. A new poll is out, and it
is a poll that says now that Americans are warming
to the idea of mass deportations. That's right. The shaf

(00:21):
of Americans who say they support mass deportations of undocumented
immigrants is now a majority, with fifty one percent now
saying they want mass deportation of illegal immigrants. What's even
more interesting than that is that forty five percent of
Latinos now say they want mass deportations. That number coming

(00:45):
up significantly also among African Americans. Forty percent of African
Americans now say they support mass deportation of illegal immigrants.
What's also interesting is the breakdown by generation. The boomers,
for example, sixty percent of Boomers say they're ready for
mass deportations of illegals. Gen X fifty three percent say

(01:09):
they're in favor of mass deportations, Millennials forty eight percent.
And the only people that are really not on board
at this point are gen Z, the young, woke liberal.
I wouldn't even say democrats, socialists, and communists thirty five percent. Now,
let's go back to the general public. More than half
of Americans, including now, and this is the most important

(01:32):
part of this poll, forty two percent of Democrats say
that they support it. Now, how did the Democratic Party
move this quickly to forty two percent of Democrats saying
they're in favor of mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Well,
they're witnessing what's happening this country with the rising cost
of living, homes, apartments, and jobs being taken by illegal immigrants.

(01:57):
They're also witnessing something else, the violent, the fetnyl, the drugs,
and cartel and gang abuse of the people in this country.
And that's why you're seeing forty two percent of Democrats
now say they support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. According
to this new Axio survey by the Harris Pole, thirty

(02:19):
percent of Democrats as well as forty six percent of
Republicans now say they'd in birthright citizenship as well. That
is something that's guaranteed under the fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.
So if you get across the border, you pop out
a baby, bam, you are a citizen of the United
States of America. Why does this matter, Well, It's pretty simple.

(02:40):
Americans are now open to former President Trump's harshest immigration policies,
spurred on by a record number of illegal border crossings
and relentless messaging of the problems that are happening now
all over the country as every state is basically now
become a border state. See before, the president's harshest immigration

(03:04):
plans were not well received by the majority of Americans
because they weren't having to live with the same consequences
that border states were having to live with. That is
now changed, and that's exactly why it is flipped. In fact,
they say President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens
his reelection. Internal discussions have also revealed quote he sought

(03:28):
to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging Congress's
most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades, saying it's his
fault that we have an open border. The problem is
those lines are not working on the American people because
they saw what a secure border looked like under President Trump.

(03:49):
There's also something else that's changing, and we're seeing this
in the polling as well. It is the issue of
national security. Americans are very concerned now about a real
threat of and we've also seen this real threat of
terrorism and the idea that we could be hit. There
are warnings that are coming very very clearly now from

(04:11):
the FBI Director. The FBI director to that NBC interview,
an exclusive interview about terrorism in this country and the
threat of terrorism in this country. Here is what he
had to say. And Americans are listening.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array
of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. There
is a particular network that has where some of the
overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that
we're very concerned about.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
To be clear, the FBI director has just warned the
American people about ties to ISIS and the real threat
in this country. Now, that's not the only threat. He
also is talking about another threat, and that is coming
from China. He's very concerned about the Chinese nowtionals coming
across our southern border. That is also not the only
thing he's concerned about. He also said he's concerned about

(05:07):
the fetanyl that's coming across the southern border, the drugs
that are coming across, and the number one killer in
this country right now. The number one thing that's killing
people forty and under and they say that number is
going to jump now to forty five and under is fetanyl.
And where's that coming straight across the southern border. This

(05:29):
is a concern of the American people. The American people
are very concerned that this is going to affect their
family directly, because it's affecting many of their families and
their friends right and they're seeing people that are dying
from accidental overdoses. They call it drug poisoning, is the
way they describe it. And the reason why they call
it drug poisoning is because people are taking something that

(05:52):
they have no intent of dying from. They're not trying
to get high off of fetanyl, and they take too
much and they're referring to it as drug poisoning. Now,
let's go back. When you add that in to this
data that we now have from this poll, what we
also know is this, not only is President Biden concerned

(06:14):
about this, but the Democratic Party is trying to figure
out their messaging heading into this presidential election. So far,
when it comes to blame, Biden has failed to shift
the narrative. In fact, only thirty two percent of responding
says administration is most responsible for the crisis, outranking any
other political or structural factor. In other words, they're not

(06:37):
blaming the voter's Congress, they're not blaming Donald Trump, they're
not blaming Republicans. They're blaming Joe Biden because they clearly
understand that Joe Biden's a one that created this wide
open southern border that has terrorists and fetnol and everything
else coming across the border. There's also something else, voters
say that now they understand the record number borders, they understand.

(07:01):
In fact, nearly two thirds of Americans said legal immigration
is a quote real crisis, not a political driven media narrative.
So they're witnessing it, they're seeing it and they're understanding
what it's doing in their community's firsthand. Now that is
different than what it was four years ago. Now what
they're saying, quote, I was surprised at the public support

(07:26):
for large scale deportations. That's what Mark Penn, the chairman
of the Harris Pole and a former poster for President Clinton,
said in response to this news pole, saying, I'm surprised.
I'm not by the way now, I didn't think we
were going to get there this quickly. I thought people
were starting to turn, but they're turning a lot faster

(07:46):
than even I realized. And this is a blessing because
people are now understanding what wide open borders look like. Quote.
I think they're just sending a message to politicians, get
this under control, the poster said, calling it a warning
to Biden his administration, and that efforts to shift responsibility

(08:07):
for the issue to Trump is not going to work.
So that also tells me this. The Biden White House
has to be in freak out mode right now. And
the reason why they're in freakout mode is because their
simple plan, which was, well, this is Donald Trump's fault,
or this is the Republican's fault, or this is all

(08:27):
the problem of Republicans in Congress. We didn't create this crisis.
The American people, including Democrats, aren't buying it. A large
number of independents are not buying it, and we already
know that Republicans have not been buying it for quite

(08:47):
some time. I want to dive into this polling number
even more and get down to what I think the
other issues within this poll are going to tell us
come election day. Trump number one has vowed to carry out,
as he described his words, the largest domestic deportation operation

(09:08):
in American history, eyeing sweeping raids as well as detention
camps in a plan that would target millions and millions
of undocumented immigrants aka illegal immigrants. Now, Americans typically aren't
eager to deport immigrants who have put down roots in
the US, but this poll of six two hundred and

(09:30):
fifty one US adults suggested that the dynamic is changing
because of specifically two things. Rising fear about crime, drugs,
and violence. Donald Trump has been clear that those fears
are warranted. He is campaigning on it, making it very

(09:52):
clear that there is in fact a migrant crime wave.
No matter how much the Democratic Party of the news
tries to tell you that it is a false claim
claim that there's a migrant crime wave, we know it's
just not true. We also have more blunt language from
Donald Trump declaring that immigrants are quote poisoning the blood

(10:12):
of our country. Now, when he said that, what did
the left of the media do. They freaked out and
they're like, Oh, that's racist, that's that's racist. See, Donald
Trump's a racist, He's a racist. Well, guess what the
majority of Hispanic voters in this country agree with Donald Trump.
When asked to identify the greatest concern around illegal immigration,

(10:34):
Americans most frequently cited increased crime rates, drugs, and violence
of the number one issue when it comes to legal
immigration twenty one percent, saying that is the main concern
for them. Then number two and a very close second
is this. It's the economy, stupid, right. It's the additional

(10:56):
cost to taxpayers, not only to take care of the immigrants,
but the rising costs for Americans who are now having
to compete with tens of millions of illegal immigrants for apartments,
for housing, for hotels, for basic jobs. The list goes
on and on, and then the third issue. And I

(11:17):
want you to understand how close all these are. So
the point I'm making is usually in a poll, if
you have one thing that people kind of say is
the number one reason, it's well above number two, and
usually it's way above number three. That is not the
case in this new poll. Number three on the list
just one point below the additional cost of taxpayers eighteen percent, right,

(11:42):
which was just three points below number one issue, which
was increased crime rates, drugs and violence at seventeen percent. Okay,
seventeen percent of voters said their greatest concern was the
quote risk of terrorism and national security. So again look
at the data increase crime, drugs, and violence. Voters that

(12:06):
identified that as are great concerned. Twenty one percent of
responding said that was it eighteen percent. Second place, the
additional cost of taxpayers, I mean, that's really close to
twenty one percent, and then the risk of terrorism and
national security issues at seventeen percent, right below eighteen percent
is in third place. Tells you that depending on basically

(12:27):
where you live, this is a big issue to you.
It just may be that the issue within the issue
is a little different. Let me break that down so
you understand my point. If you are in Texas, if
you're in New Mexico, if you're in Arizona, if you're
at a border state, you're probably going to be at drugs, crime,
and violence. Right. That's going to be a large part

(12:48):
of your response because it's so significant. You're also going
to respond to a lot of you that the risk
of terrorism and national security because you're seeing the violence
that's coming across the border, and you're hearing a lot
about those on the tariffs watch lists that are being
caught at record numbers. Now at number two. This is
I would argue Middle America to other places like New

(13:10):
York City or Baltimore, Detroit, or San Francisco. The list
goes on and on, more liberal places, not directly on
the border where the taxpayers right are starting to witness
what's happening with their tax dollars being used. Colorado, for example,
in Denver is a great point. They're having to divert
services because they're running out of money to take care

(13:32):
of the illegal immigrants that have overrun Denver. And so
if you're there, you're probably going to be in this
eighteen percent that say, hey, this is a real additional
cost to me as a taxpayer, and I don't like it.
So let's stand back for a second and look at
this from an election year issue. There are a lot
of Americans who believe that immigrants are receiving more and

(13:54):
welfare and benefits than they should, and that's a problem.
There are a lot of Americans that believe that illegal
immigrants are also a direct link to the spiking of
US crime rates. Now, these are the issues that Americans
are now turning on Biden on. You look at the

(14:15):
big picture here. The surveys still found Americans strongly support
immigration to America and this is the compassionate aspect of
America as long as it is done lawfully. That is
something that conservatives have been championing. That something that Donald
Trump has been championing. I'm in favor of legal immigration.

(14:36):
I am not in favor of people bum rushing the
southern border coming across and then I have to take
care of them. I'm not okay with that. And the
majority of Americans now are saying that they agree with
that idea. We want to support immigration as long as
it's lawful. Illegal immigration is what's giving people anxiety in
this country. We did not have that four years ago

(14:58):
when Donald Trump was running against Joe Biden. This is
completely flip flopped in the last three years three and
a half years. Also, fifty eight percent said they support
expanding legal pathways for orderly immigration. Forty six percent said
asylum seekers should be protected if their cases are legitimate. Again,

(15:21):
this goes back to the American people. We are compassionate
and loving and kind, but it doesn't mean you just
get to come in and break the law. By the
twenty million people, right, that's where we're saying no. Sixty
eight percent also in this poll said illegal immigration causes
major problems in communities, Yes, sixty eight percent. Only twenty

(15:42):
seven percent said the same about legal immigration. So again translation,
do it the right way and we're fine with it.
Do it the illegal way, We're not okay with it.
And sixty five percent of Americans think the US should
make it easier for anyone seeking a better life to
interlegally so they don't have to enter illegally. Now, that
is something that I think is an very important data

(16:06):
point for this upcoming election. The Republicans that are running
need to talk about this in a very compassionate way.
We need to say those that put themselves ahead of
others that are doing the right way should be deported,
They should not get to stay. And I think if
you frame it that way, we're going to have a
much better chance of getting moderates and undecided and Democrats

(16:29):
to come over to our way of thinking on this,
because it is compassionate to say, look, we don't want
anybody to come in this country I legally, who also
is jumping the line on those that are trying to
come in this country legally. That is a compassionate stance
that we as conservatives unfortunately have lost as a very
important point that needs to be made over and over again.

(16:51):
We're talking about this issue because it's obvious that the
majority of the American people are not saying no to immigration.
They're now saying no to illegal immigration. And that is
a very very very very very big difference. Okay, So
so that that right there at number one, just so
you understand it. Number two on this and another data

(17:13):
point that that people really need to understand. The trade
off here in this poll is people will take would
take expanded legal immigration if they saw there's a crackdown
on the border. Now what we've seen so far from
Joe Biden, that's out of the question. Because the Democratic

(17:34):
Party is trying to import voters, they're trying to fundamentally
change this country, and they believe that as many as
they can get across the border between now and whenever
the border is finally secured or closed, or however you
want to describe it, that they will they will at
some point just basically force that you're going to give

(17:56):
them amnesty. And what the American people are saying is no,
we're not going to just give up amnesty that quick.
We're not just gonna throw amnesty out there to twenty
plus million illegal immigrants have come to this country. So again,
if I'm advising any candidate, including Donald Trump, you have

(18:18):
to stand for law and order number one and number
two from this data, you have to have compassion and
say we are in favor of legal immigration. We are
advocates for legal immigration. We are not when it comes
to illegal immigrants flooding the border. All right, I want

(18:40):
to move to another important issue, and that is these
college campuses and the anti Semitic remarks that we're seeing
on college campuses. Elam Omar is supporting the pro genocide
students at Columbia. We've now been told that for the
rest of the of the this year, basically the calendar
year up until graduation, they're going online learning at Columbia

(19:03):
because the University of Colombia has lost total control of
their campus and is complete another chaos. Now we also
know who's behind paying for these violent and extremist events.
I'm going to have that for you in a second,
but I want you to hear what alamo Mar says
about the Jewish students at Columbia university. This is a
member of the United States Congress.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Listen carefully, how do you think this will translate to
the Jewish students who are facing anti summatism.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Here on campus. So I actually met a lot of.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Jewish students that are in the encampments, and I think
it is really unfortunate that people don't care about the
fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
And that we should not have to tolerate anti semitism
or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro
genocide or anti genocide.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I'm sorry, I think it's really unfortunate that people don't
care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be
kept safe. And then she says, I just got to
read this correctly. We should not have to tolerate anti
semitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are
pro genocide or anti genocide. So lalm Mar just said

(20:18):
that Jewish students at Columbia should be protected even if
they are pro genocide. Did you hear that. I actually
met a lot of Jewish students, she says, that are
in the encampments. I don't believe that, and I think
it's really unfortunate that people don't care about the fact
that all Jewish kids should be kept safe. So the

(20:39):
Jewish kids are in the encampment that are pro genocide
killing all Jews, and they're Jewish, she's claiming, she's saying, well,
they should be protected. This is a member of the
United States Congress who is out there saying this right now,
and she's walking around campus. Now. This is completely different

(21:01):
than what Mike Johnson had to say. Speaker of the
House went to Columbia University to look these radical anti
semits who want to go back to Hitler, the time
of Hitler in World War Two and get rid of
all the Jews. I'm glad that the Speaker of the
House went by the way he should have gone and

(21:21):
said very clearly, we are not going to stand for this.
These universities should be held accountable for what they are
doing right now. And what Johnson said at Columbia University,
and you can hear the kids in the background screaming
and yelling at him, is something that every elected official

(21:41):
should be saying. Unfortunately, it is not what is being
said at all in this country because of people like
Olama mar and others that are sitting there. Take a listen.
Let me say this very simply.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
No American of any color or creed should ever have
to live under those kinds of threats. That is not
who we are in this country. Sadly, Columbia's administrators have
chosen to let the threats, the fear, and the intimidation
of the mob rule to overtake American principles like free
speech and the free free exchange of ideas and the

(22:18):
free exercise of religion. They have co opted First Amendment
arguments to protect genocide and to elevate the voices of
anti Semitism. They have proven themselves to be incapable of
achieving their basic responsibility, which is keeping students safe. We
just can't allow this kind of hatred and anti semitism

(22:39):
to flourish on our campuses, and it must be stopped
in its tracks. Those who are perpetrating this violence should
be arrested. And I'm here today. I am here today
joining my colleagues and calling on President Shaffik to resign
if she cannot immediately bring order to this chaos. A

(23:00):
Speaker of the House, I am committing today that the
Congress will not be silent as Jewish students are expected
to run for their lives and stay home from their classes,
hiding in fear. In the House of Representatives, We've already
acted to address anti.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Semitism on campuses.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
We have passed a number of statutes to address this matter,
and we call upon the US Senate to act upon
our legislation.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Now, Johnson immediately taking massive heat for calling for a
president of the university that's lost total control of her campus,
that is not keeping Jewish students safe, and has also
been pretty clear that she's not a big fan of
the Jewish people. So when Johnson said this, he was

(23:45):
immediately challenged. Right, Aaron Burnett Overage CNN gets in the
speaker's face, Well, hold on, mister speaker, why do you
need to get involved in the removal of a president
of a private university? Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Is there anything is Well could do that would be
over the line for you, because when you talk about
stamping it out, I mean many innocent children have died
and are dying at Israel's hands and the idea they have.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
There have been civilians murdered, but that is not the
fault of Israel. It's the fault of the terrorists, the
Hamas operators and soldiers, the terrorists who have used these
people and put them into harm's way. Israel, I'm convinced,
is doing its very best to prevent civilian casualties. But
this is a war and they're fighting for their very existence,
and they are not the aggressors. It is the other side.

(24:34):
Some of the people here seem not to understand that,
and I think that's a real problem. We can debate
the merits of all these things, but what they're doing
here is intimidating Jewish students. That's the thing that is
so problematic, all right, So let.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Me ask you about that, because when it comes to that,
the NYPD, at least as of Monday, said they've not
received a single call from Columbia University of reports of
any physical harm.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, no physical harm, right, But you have to speak
to these Jewish students who are in their lives, who
are cowering in their apartments right now, who are not
coming to class. In fact, the administration recognized the threat
was so great they canceled classes. Now they've come out
with this hybrid idea. Well, if you're Jewish, maybe you
do want to stay at home. Maybe it'd be better
off for you. But it's so discriminatory, it's so wrong
in every way. The responsibility of a university administrator is

(25:19):
to keep peace on campus and ensure the safety of
students job number one. If they're uncapable of doing that,
then you need different leadership. I think this is time
for a really strong hand.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
I'm trying to understand, though, why a Speaker of the House,
this is an issue you would want to get involved with.
It's a private university, it's an issue happening here. Why
is this something that you are choosing to get involved
in and calling for the removal of a president.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Of a private university.

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Well, they receive federal funding as well, and Congress is
looking at all of these aspects to determine how they're
using those funds. Is that appropriate if they can't fulfill
their basic obligations. I don't think the American taxpayers want
to be funding this kind of thing. We know that
professors are engaging in this as well. Some of the
professors some have been supportive of the Jewish students, But

(26:03):
I believe it's a small subset for what I've told.
They've allowed this to go on, and it is not
okay with the American people. This isn't a part is
an issue. This is about right and wrong and we
got to call it for what it is.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
And so when people talk about genocide and say that
Israel is engaging in genocide, do you think that that
is a legitimate conversation that they should be allowed to
have as part of First Amendment rights here?

Speaker 7 (26:25):
Well, of course, Look, I was a First Amendment lawyer
for twenty years. I went to the courts and defended
our First Amendment freedoms, religious expression, the writer, free speech
on campus. I litigated those cases. Of course, the university
is supposed to be the free marketplace of ideas. But
when you shout down and physically threaten with intimidation and
threats of violence at the other side, that is not

(26:47):
a peaceful expression, peaceful exchange of ideas. That's something very different,
and that's what we're saying they need to get control
of when they camp out around the campus and they
prevent students from exercising their rights, that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
By the way, the way that he described that is
why he should be involved. Spot on. There's also one
other part of this, and it's about the funding, and
we did a show earlier this week where I talked
about where some of the funding is coming from. But
George Soros, we now know, is paying many of these
student radicals who are fueling this nationwide explosion of Israel

(27:22):
hating protests. This now coming from the New York Posts.
George Soros and his hard left allies are paying agitators
who are fueling the explosion of radical anti Israel protests
at colleges across the country. The protests which began when
students took over Columbia University. And why did they pick

(27:43):
New York because all the national media is there and
it was going to be easy to get free press.
Last week and then at Mushroom, nationwide copycat tent cities
have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley,
the Ohio State, Emrie University in Georgia, and all of

(28:04):
them organized by branches of a Soros funded Students for
Justice in Palestine known as SJP, and it's some students
have clashed with police. Now let me give you all
of the different places where they're paid protesters. Okay, so
you understand this is where they're paid mit Harvard, Emerson, Tufts, Yale, Cornell,

(28:29):
University of Rochester, University of Pittsburgh, Ohio State University, George
Washington University, Emory University, University of Texas at Dallas, University
of Texas at Austin, University of Minnesota, Northwestern cal Poly,
University of California USC. That is just to name a few,
and paid protesters are showing up at these universities now.

(28:52):
The SPJ parent organization has been funded by a network
of nonprofits ultimately funded by, among others, Ros, the billionaire
left wing investor. At three colleges, the protests are being
encouraged by paid radicals who are quote unquote fellows of
a Soros funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian

(29:17):
Rights Now. This group provides up to seven eight hundred
dollars for its community based fellows and between two and
eighty to three thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars for
its campus based fellows in return for spending eight hours
a week organizing campaigns led by Palestinian organizations. If you

(29:40):
think all this is organic, you're wrong. This is all
being paid for by these radicals on the left. That
who's behind this, That's who's paying for it. Don't forget.
