Speaker 1 (00:01):
Promises made, promises kept. That for me is the theme
of Donald Trump's time in office so far. The Trump administration,
we're now being told, is on pace to deport four
hundred thousand illegal immigrants in one year. The Trump administration

(00:23):
is deporting about one thousand and five hundred people per
day and is on track to deport more than four
and one thousand people in his first year in office.
The New York Times is now reporting now, of course
they're criticizing the president for doing it. That's how you
know the president's doing a damn good job. At least
one hundred and eighty thousand people have been deported by
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement under President Donald Trump. The Time

(00:47):
States deportations have increased as ICE got a massive increase
in funding from the Big Beautiful bill that was signed
into law again, the bill that they said was going
to ruin America so much for that lie. At its
current pace, ICE would deport more than four hundred thousand people.
That is a sharp increase from the two hundred and

(01:09):
seventy one thousand people removed last year by ICE, though
far short of the goal of one hundred or of
one million set by the Trump administration, now the Department
of All Land Security says the total number of deportations
so far under Trump is three hundred and twenty two thousand.
That figure includes people who are turned around or quickly

(01:31):
deported at the US borders by Customs and Border Protection.
The Times also states ICE is using a dozen charter
planes per day. If that's not taxpayer money used the
right way, I don't know what is to conduct deportations
and transport detainees. That's double the number used in January.

(01:52):
According to Tom Cartwright, an immigration advocate who is tracking
the ICE flights, Yes they're angry. There are more than
sixty thousand people in custody. The Times reported ICE is
at at least fifty new detention centers since Trump took
office as well, and more than six thousand people being

(02:13):
held there. The White House for months has emphasized the
administration's broader strategy on immigration as the deportation taally has
ticked upward. Through its Project Homecoming initiative announce in May,
the administration has offered financial incentives and streamlined processes to

(02:33):
encourage voluntary departures, with aggressive enforcement measures for those who remain.
That according to a White House fact sheet that was
put out in public messaging. Officials have described the deportation
campaign as historic, an aggressive effort, highlighting record breaking numbers

(02:54):
of arrests and expanded capacity for detaining and removing undie
he committed immigrants. So here we are the President the
United States of America, promising to clean up the immigration
problem in this country. And what we're witnessing right now
is that Trump administration is on pace to deport more

(03:14):
than four hundred thousand people in year one. This is
also happening as liberals are fighting every time they get
a chance to stop the President and Ice from doing
their jobs.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Could the numbers go up, yes? Could they go even
higher next year? Yes.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
One thing is for sure. The President is sending a
message that while he's in office, well what happened under
Joe Biden will never happen again. He wants to fix
the rate you're allowed to charge for rent. He wants
to again take companies and take away money from wealthy individuals.
He wants to run off the quote millionaires and billionaires. So,

(03:59):
I mean, I really don't know any other way to
put it. Is just we're gonna we're robin hooding we're
gonna go after the poor or go after the rich,
I say, and give to the poor. That's their whole thing,
like there's nothing else. Well, if you pass it locally,
and this is the part that's scary. If you do
a local ordinance, for example, when it's local and the

(04:21):
people vote for you and they agree with it, it's gonna
be extremely hard to say, uh no, right, like this
is it.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Can you tax people at high rate? Yes? Can you
do rent control? Yes you can.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
There's a lot of local governments have a lot of
power to do things like this. So yeah, a lot
of what he's saying I don't think is illegal as
long as they pass it the right way. That and
and look, I also go back to what I said
earlier on crime in all these cities. One of the
things democrats do is they decide that the easiest way

(05:01):
to continue to hold power is to get rid of
their political adversaries, to get rid of their political enemies.
And the reason why they get rid of their adversaries
and their enemies is actually pretty simple. They do it
because then no one's up against them. If all the
people that vote against you don't stay and fight you,
they just leave and disappear, and that's what they seem

(05:24):
to be doing often in these liberal cities, Like how
many parents want their kid in a failing school in
a high crime neighborhood. We can be killed just by
being outside playing, or you can get shot by a
stray bullet sleeping in your bed.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Like there's a lot of people, like a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Okay, there is a lot of people that as soon
as that they have the means to get out, they're
gonna get out.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
They're gonna get out as fast as they can. And
they're like, we don't care if you move.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's just one lass person that's going to be voting
against me, that's going to be advocating for policies that
I don't like. I don't think these guys care if
everyone runs away. It's what they want to happen, and
it's part of I think their game plan moving forward
is that we will we will eliminate any of our

(06:13):
political threats. We will eliminate the people with money, will
eliminate the people that are that are out there that
we can't stand, so that we control power. It's easier
now than ever for a liberal democrat with no resume
okay to get elected. It is easier now than it's
ever been in these hardcore leftist, high crime, high poverty

(06:36):
cities because the same voters got out.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
They're getting out as.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Soon as they have the financial means to do it.
They run out of these cities. Why do you think
so many of these liberal cities have suburbs that are
extremely safe and extremely conservative, Because when you have the means,
you say, I'm out of here, I'm out of the crime,
I'm out of the poverty, I'm out of these liberals.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm out.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm done, I'm moving, I'm running, I'm gone. Goodbye. It's
a self fulfilling prophecy. But Democrats don't want to rule
great cities. They want to dictate to disaster cities. Detroit, Baltimore,
New Orleans, Memphis, DC. The list goes one. What do
they all have in common? They have total control of

(07:21):
the local government. And that's what they're there for. They're
there for the control. Donald Trump treating police and the
National Guard to dinner while thanking them for the DC
crime cleanup. President Trump doing what Trump does, bringing pizza
and Hamburgers for members of law enforcement the National Guard

(07:43):
on Thursday and saying thank you for cracking down on
crime and keeping Americans safe. Trump a company the Attorney
General Pam Bondi, and the Interior Secretary Doug Bergham. He
met with law enforcement from various agencies, ranging from the
US Marshall Service to the DC Metropolitan Police Department at
the United States Park Police Headquarters. According to the White

(08:05):
House Press Pool reports We're now seeing. Trump commented on
just how amazing the officers are for doing what he
said was an amazing job since he took federal control
of the city due to out of control crime. The
President also making it clear to law enforcement, saying this,
I just want to thank everybody very much for being here.

(08:28):
We've had some incredible results. It's like a different place.
It's like a different city. It's the capital. It's going
to be the best in the world, he said. We
appreciate you. And the numbers are down like we wouldn't believe,
but we believe it. He said, We've had some incredible results.
It's like a different place. The Vice President J. D.

(08:52):
Vans also noted there has been a thirty five percent
dropping violent crime and a fifty percent drop in robberies
in the first nine days Trump took federal control of
law enforcement. Trump Offa also emphasized his efforts to restore
DC to greatness will not end with a crime crackdown.
He will seek money from Congress to spruce up the city.

(09:14):
He said, quote, We're going to do what we're doing
with law enforcement, and very importantly also we're going to
physically do it. We're going back to Congress for some money,
and we're going to redo a lot of the pavement,
a lot of the medians, a lot of the graffiti,
all coming off real fast. We're going to be not
so much building, it's going to be cleaning and fixing

(09:37):
and redoing and putting brand new services down on our roads,
in our streets.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
He added. Trump brought White House burgers.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
And pizza from a quote undisclosed business for the members
of law enforcement in attendance. He said, we'll eat, and
I'll eat with you. We're going to have a little fun.
We're going to celebrate, but then we're going to get
back to work and we're going to take care these criminals.
We're going to put them where they have to be.

(10:04):
Bergham also celebrating the President, saying, quote, thank you for
bringing respect back to law enforcement professionals. Bondy committed law
enforcement officers for working midnights every night because they love
our country, they love our city and the President. Trump
then returned to the White House after praising law enforcement,

(10:25):
something that Democrats apparently could never ever bring themselves to
actually do. Why because they hate police, they hate law
and order. They love the criminals, the drug dealers, the
gang bangers, the illegal immigrants. And if you want to
know why this country is in such a mess, look
get any democratic city in America. And if you want

(10:46):
to know why so many cities that are safe have
conservative leaders, well imagine if Donald Trump got to do
this in other major cities as well well. And this
is the reason why I think these numbers are just
so important. That they are just so important because they

(11:06):
prove what we've been saying for a long time, right
Like they prove that law and order, when put in action,
can have a massive impact, not in six months, not
in a year, not in three years, but now immediately
when it's done and surge the right way. I think
this is going to be extremely hard for now governors

(11:28):
and mayors to look at their citizens and say I
care more about politics that I care about saving your
life for the lives of your loved ones or this city.
Like that's our newest problem, that's our biggest problem. It's
the scariest part of all with this, it's the worst
part of it is that this is happening. I go
back to another story that actually was really interesting, and

(11:52):
it was one that was up earlier today and they
were trying to use it like it was a story
that was negative, and it's that Donald Trump is apparently
preparing in a very quiet but a very real way
to use the military to go after terrorist organizations that
have been are i should say, cartels that have been

(12:13):
designated as terrorists organizations. And there was like this woke
liberal that like was freaking out over this, acting like
he was like exposing Donald Trump. And it made me laugh.
I'm going to talk about it coming up because it
really did. It made me laugh. It was funny. I'm like,
this is good news. This isn't bad news, this is

(12:36):
great news. 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 (12:51):
Upside, well, it's real.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It
is actually really it's 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 or special coins, and then
when you go to sell them, you take away all

(13:14):
of your earning potential. Why do they do it this
way at Kurt Elliott Because they have transparent pricing up front.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
It's very simple.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
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

(13:45):
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.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's real.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Boullion, never gimmicks, just investment grade goal in silver, no
overpriced coins, no flashy markups, and it's a company that
I love because 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

(14:18):
informed decisions. Now, if you're seeking a partner when it
comes to gold and silver with an eternity mindset, visit
k e PM 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

(14:41):
seven two zero six oh five thirty nine hundred. So
let's faithfully steward what God has given so you can
experience real peace now and for generations to come. K
e PM dot com slash ben. I'm going to read
for you part of this article just so you understand.
Now again, Democrats actually believe what I'm reading to you

(15:03):
is like bad news, like damning news to Donald Trump
and the Trump administration. And I'm like, I'm jacked.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Quote. The Trump administration has directed the military to prepare
for lethal strikes like we're gonna kill them folks against
cartel targets inside of Mexico. Hell, yes, that's me. Three
military sources are telling us the top secret planning order
issued in late spring directs in Northern Command called NORTHCOMB

(15:32):
to manage the attack plans, which are to be ready
by mid September. Though US military US Mexico military relations
are broad and cooperative, any military action south of the
border is considered extremely sensitive for both Washington and the
Mexican federal government and is rarely discussed in public. Quote.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Not only is Donald Trump uniquely focused on transnational criminal
organizations the official name for Cartel is having does made
them terrorists in one of his first executive orders, but
he has shown himself to be willing to take unilateral
action despite potentially negative political ramification or I say ramifications,

(16:12):
says one senior intelligence official. Again, like they're acting like
this is bad news. I'm like this amazing, Like this
is what I voted for, Like direct line this into
my veins. He and other sources say the military action
could be unilateral, that is, without the involvement or approval
of the Mexican government. Well, hell yeah, because the Mexican
government's totally corrupted by the cartels. Like the Mexican government

(16:37):
is the cartel's bag men running the country. Like just
understand that quote. The unprecedented order was discussed at July
meeting at Northcomb Headquarters in Colorado Springs that was led
by Colby Jenkins, the unconfirmed Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict. Within day, General Gregory Gullet,

(17:02):
commander of Northcomb, hosted the two highest ranking Mexican military officials,
and they're like, wow, this is a big deal, right,
the Secretary of National Defense and Admiral a guy by
the name of Angellis, the Secretary of the Navy from Mexico.
Quote today, more than ever the challenges we face to
manage joint coordinated an adaptive response is what Morales, all right,

(17:27):
the Secretary of the Navy for Mexico said after the
Calorado A visit, trying to impress upon Pentagon and military leaders,
let any potential operation be conducted by the two nations together.
Now here's the problem. If you do it with Mexico,
I promise you any until you give them about where
we're going to hit, or what we're going to hit,
or who we're going after will immediately be linked to

(17:49):
the cartel members, to these terrorist organizations. They want to
work with us because they want to warn the people
that give them their money and power that hey, you're
about to be ex terminated. Back to the article to
address the extreme political sensitivities and to honor Mexico's sovereignty,
operations inside Mexico have previously been conducted by the CIA

(18:11):
and the Joint Special Operations Command known as JAYSOCK. It's
the clandestine arm of the US military that has been
involved in targeting killings, targeted killings, I say, in the
Middle East. The New York Times has reported that the
CIA has increased reconnaissance operations over Mexico with its own drones.
Other indicators have increased preparations for operations. Now, why is

(18:33):
this happening. I can answer that question because the present's
ordering it, the President saying, this is what we're doing.
Northcom was previously sidelined in any Mexico planning. The conventional
Special Operations component mostly involved in joint training with their
Mexican counterparts, and non lethal missions which are meaningless such
as at see you know, interactions of shipments, they say.

(18:57):
But now it is being tasked to be the synchronizer
of a far larger magnitude operation and possible attacks. That
is what senior intelligence officials are saying. Now, is anything
I've told you so far like sound bad to you?
Or does it all sound like amazing? Because for me
this is incredible. One reason is that perspective attacks, the

(19:20):
article says, have also also have to coordinate with the
intelligence community at large, the FBI and various home land
security agencies such as Border Patrol and ICE, who all
now are focused on Mexico and are conducting their own
operations inside Mexico. Northcom is already involved in Mexico in
a host of ways, including and combating the cartels. That

(19:42):
is what General Gilias said alluded to in a recent
testimony to Congress, where he said that his cooperation with
Mexico is already closer than at any point in history. Okay, again,
is there anything that I've just told you that sounds
like bad news? Because they wrote this article like this
is like Donald Trump going rogue. I'm like, no, no,

(20:03):
this is literally what I voted for. I want to
go to the testimony for Congress. Okay, quote, it is
already apparent to military to military relationships, but the relationship
between the United States and Mexico is robust and expanding.
It both as both nations address the challenges posed by
common threats to our citizens and shared interests. These bonds

(20:23):
between US north Com and our Mexican military partners are broad, resilient,
and focused on expanding or combating capability combined a state
capability to defend and secure North America from the Madrid
state and nonstate threats. Countering competitor influence in the region
remains a key priority for US north COMM and our
Mexican military partners, and as a direct result, the US

(20:47):
and Mexican militaries are more operationally combative and compatible than
at any point in our shared history. Okay, so let's
be clear about what they're saying, these guys that are
woke going on up there to Congress, like, hey, you
need to make sure Mexico's involved in like everything we do,
because if we don't, they may find other allies. So

(21:07):
in other words, it's better to live in the hell
we have now where the cartels run the country, then
actually go after the cartels and kill them. And we
should do that because their terrorist organization who is also
killing Americans, like, make no mistake over it. And what
they're saying is well, hold on a second, the other side,
this is we got to counter Chinese influence and investment

(21:29):
in Mexico.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
We got to thwart Russian influence and operations.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
We got to stem the flow of drugs and the
chemicals and even weapons of mass destruction components that are
coming through Mexico. And the only way to do that,
they say, is if we just accept the corruption in
the cartels of Mexico. I would argue, screw you, Okay,
if Mexico wants to run to Russia, knock yourself out
and we'll knock out all the cartels and you'll lose

(21:55):
your power.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Chinese influence, Yes, that's real, But I'd rather not have
Americans dying at record numbers from fetnyl overdoses and that's
coming where from China and then throw Mexico into America. Now, Northcom,
we've also been told is tasks suportin it's subbordinate special
Operations command called SUCK North to undertake quote operational preparations

(22:22):
of the battle space inside Mexico, set the stage for
quote future military operations, and to prepare cartel related targeting
packages for potential strikes and direct action attacks on the
ground against high value individuals, compounds and supply chain targets
associated in particular with the Cineloa cartel and the New

(22:43):
Generation cartel. Direct attacks could also involve air and drone
strikes like this. Again, they're acting like this as bad news.
This is what I voted for. Quote direct actions the
term special operations forces used to describe small scale defensive
operations carried out by Army green berets, Navy seals, or

(23:04):
Marine Corps raiders. Think of the airstrikes on Iran this
summer as kind of a direct action against discrete targets
with a strategic or national purpose. That's exactly what Donald
Trump is now advocating for as well. The article says
that this is there is one major difference when it
comes to Mexico, the political sensitivities involved.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
So they're telling you don't do it.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Unlike Iran, Mexico is a rich country, which of course
borders the US and cooperates with it in countless ways.
I don't believe that's true, all right. I just want
to be clear about that. Mexico, by the way, it's
not a rich country. It's a poor country. That's a lie.
Independence from America is a major issue domestically, not to
mention the large Mexican American population, so they're also saying,

(23:50):
don't do it because there's Americans there and they may
turn on set Americans, and so therefore that's why you
shouldn't do the operations against the cartels. This report is
truly hysterical to me because I read it and I'm like,
give me more of this every day, please, like, give
me more of this each and every day. Okay, Like

(24:12):
I want this. It's what I voted for Donald Trump,
securing this country and going after the cartels. You couldn't
say anything that would get me more excited than what
is in this report. And they're acting like this is
some sort of just horrible moment, horrible thing.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
It is not.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
It's the greatest thing I've ever heard, and I think
most Americans voted for this and support it. I want
to put something else on your radar screen, and it's
probably something that you've not heard about because the media
doesn't want to talk about this story. Top IRS lawyer
under Donald Trump pledged to quote resist the president. We

(24:59):
now know he is apparently a former Democratic aid quote
screw going high pack. The court argue this IRIS lawyer
Anthony Soacho, he is a top IRIS lawyer involved in
quote high level policy interpretations and his advocated action to

(25:20):
resist President Trump, and holds radical, far less left policy positions,
pushing for Democrats to abolish prisons for example, and anytime
you don't get the ruling you want at the Supreme Court,
just pack the court to quote defy Trump. Anthony Sako
is an attorney for the powerful IRS Office of Chief Council.

(25:42):
He's openly advocated for far left positions for years prior
to joining the agency. This coming from a Daily Wire
review of his social media that has been found Soako,
who holds a key role in interpreting complicated federal tax law,
has called for people to quote resist the GOP and

(26:03):
attacked the police. Sounds exactly like what you would get
in the Democratic Party from socialist communists in Marxists right now.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Soco has co authored multiple.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Revenue rulings, including as recently as April the seventeenth of
this year, that would be three months into the Trump administration.
Revenue rulings are official IRS interpretations of how tax laws
are applied in specific situations and impact how government officials
or government officials I should say, tax professionals and also

(26:36):
you the taxpayers maintain compliance with federal law now. Before
joining the IRS in September of twenty twenty two by
the Biden administration, Saco worked under the Oregon Democratic Senator
Ron Leiden for the Senate Finance Committee. That's according to
his own LinkedIn profile. His social media activity demonstrated a

(26:57):
strong opposition to president and his administration. In twenty twenty,
for example, he attacked Republicans ahead of the Senate vote
to confirm Amy Cony Barrett to the Supreme Court, saying this,
the Republican Party has completely obliterated principles, integrity and norms.
Screw going hi, pack the court hashtag resists, hashtag gop,

(27:20):
hashtag election, hashtag vote, hashtag pack the Court now. Shortly
after all of this came out, The Daily Wire reached
out to Sacho for comment on his previous views.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
What did he do? Exactly what liberals always do.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
He locked his ex account restricted who can see his posts,
but not before the Daily Wire archived and saved all
of them.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Soaco did not respond to the inquiry.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Briefed on the post by The Daily Wire, Arkansas Republican
Senator Tom Cotton said Soaco should be fired immediately. With
deep state leftists in its leadership, it's no wonder the
IRAS has repeatedly targeted conservatives and conservative organizations, Cotton said
to Daily Wire. This individual should be fired immediately. SOCCO

(28:10):
is currently one of the main attorneys like not low level,
not mid level, one of the top docs right the
main attorneys in the IRAF Chief Council Office who specializes
in looking to at pass through businesses a tax structure
where owners are taxed at the individual rate than corporate levels.
The revenue ruling he drafted in April, for example, with

(28:31):
Drew one he had written under Biden, which increased regulations
on certain business partnerships. It was based on an executive
order from Trump ordering his administration to cut unnecessary regulations,
meaning a advocate for resisting Trump was left responsible for
putting his orders into effect. According to one senior Republican

(28:53):
AID who worked on finance issues in the Senate, socco's
office was viewsed as politicized, as a politicize office in
the financial policy world. It was, for example, behind plans
that would supercharge the RS beyond its current current form.
The AID pointed to the irf's push for a quote
direct file program that was approved by the Chief Council's

(29:16):
Office during the Biden administration, which Republicans argued would have
turned the IRS into a tax preparer, tax collector, and
tax enforcer. The idea that a far left resistor who
helped the Biden's IRS set policy is now setting policy
for Trump is deeply concerning, the AID told The Daily Wire,
adding that the Treasury Secretary Scott Descent should clean house

(29:40):
to get his well politication of this office out. Here's
something else that was said. I'm not surprised he said
those far left things, because that's how this has operated,
how the Chief Council's Office has operated. The AID added,
we shouldn't trust left wing ideolog at the irsing light

(30:01):
of their weaponization of the agency during the Obama and
also the Biden administrations. Now outside by the way of
social media. Sacho helped prepare link the academic article arguing
that prison should be abolished. It was published by the
Harvard Law Review, and the forward, the primary author argued

(30:21):
that quote white supremacy has deeply woven into the fabric
of every legal institution in the United States of America. So,
in other words, if you're black, you should build a
committee crime and not have to worry about the consequence,
apparently based on what the Harvard Law Review has In
a post discussing his work on the project, Sacho contemplated
the future of criminal justice in America by writing this,

(30:43):
it was truly amazing to work with Professor Roberts and
my fellow RAS on this piece over the past summer.
It's not easy to imagine a society without prisons, but
I look at the prison system in mass incarceration completely
differently now after this experience. The author of the article
also wrote that there is quote good reason to renounce

(31:03):
the Constitution because constitutional law has been critical to upholding
the interests of the radical capitalist regime while advancing legal
theories that justifies it's inhumanity. The article that he was
a part of also said this, Indeed, it is the
realization the white supremacy is deeply woven into the fabric

(31:26):
of every legal institution in the United States and upheld
by the US constitutional law that made me an abolitionist
in the first place, the author added. Sako, by the way,
also frequently posts anti police messages on his account, including
a call for the Colin Kaepernick Neil guy. You remember

(31:48):
that guy, Colin Cabrin, the quarterback that neil during the
national anthem. Yet that guy to quote abolish the white
supremacist institution of policing and another post that claimed policing
is based on race and that the job itself is
racist if you are a policeman, So how does that work?
Just out of curiosity if you're like Asian or Hispanic
or black, Like, are you a racist cop if you

(32:10):
were those races? Like I'm just asking for a friend,
I want to know socco's account. By the way, now, Locke,
because this is what the left does, right. They get
caught saying what they believe, and then they shut it down.
They don't stand by it. No, no, no, we're gon We're gonna.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Lock it down.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
And satsy's currently focused on tax policy, racial and criminal justice.
The IRS, by the way, is not respond to requests
for comment on Soacco's status at the end of at
the agency. And this goes back to the point that
I said earlier in twenty sixteen. I don't think Donald
Trump understood just how many people hated him. I don't

(32:46):
think he realized how much the deep state had dug
into our government. This guy's a great example of that.
And how many people are like, oh, we can just
undermine Donald Trump anytime we want to, Like, we don't
have to worry about Donald Trump. We will just wait
him out. We'll undermine every single thing that he does.

(33:09):
And when we do that, then we will still win eventually,
because we're not going anywhere. That, my friends, is the
problem with all of this. You have these radicals that
are in our government, these extremists in our government, and
they say these things openly. I want you to just
think about the arrogance of this top person. You have

(33:31):
an individual here that is so arrogant, that is so
cocky that he's willing to write this down and put
it online for anyone to read it for years. But
as soon as he gets caught by the masses, he
felt let me rephrase that he felt comfortable enough to

(33:54):
write it, He felt comfortable enough to put it out there,
thinking that he could claim he's some nonpartisan irs agent,
when in reality, he hates conservatives. He's an extreme radical,
a hardcore leftist at an organization that has been weaponized
to go after conservatives. When I tell you stories like this,

(34:20):
I mean it. You don't hate the left enough right now,
because what I can tell you is they hate you.
They hate your family values, they hate your faith, they
hate who you vote for, and they want to undermine it,
and they want to silence you. And they want you
to become extinct. And oh, by the way, they also
want you to be poor. They don't want you to succeed,

(34:41):
they won't want your kids to succeed. They want to
destroy your way of life. Never ever, ever forget that.
