Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to a numbers game with Brian Gerdusky. We're
going to do a deep dive on Congresswoman Maria Alvira
Salazar and her Dignity Act because she says it's on amnesty,
but I've done a lot of homework on it and
her and we'll get that in one second. But I
want to talk about the Eric Slowwell story really briefly.
(00:25):
At Congress and Eric Slowell running for governor, the leading
Democrat for governor of California, has been accused of sexual
assault and sexual harassment by at least four different women.
The women's stories are slightly murky, not that I don't
believe that they have any merit to them, but like
one had a previous sexual relationship with Slowwell. There's just
(00:49):
it's not like the most concrete case that it could be. However,
everyone in DC has heard stories about Slawell being handsy
and inappropriate with women. I know of at least two
women in my own social circle whose Slawwell came onto
(01:10):
and aggressively touched went after them when they were not
consenting or wanting any part of it. I think this
case has legs to it. I think it's going to
go further. I think more women are going.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
To come forward.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
In fact, I've spoken to women who are saying they
may come forward. So I think that there's a lot
more to the story than we are going to see,
and I think that it will all but kill his
bid for governor of California. Okay, we'll go more into
that as the story comes forward and we do more
of a deep dive.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But that's the case for Eric Slawell. Just so that
way you've heard and you know it all right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
First, now let's go to Maria Alvira Salazar. Who is
this woman who's constantly talking about illegal immigration and the
need to support illegal immigration. Well, Maria Elvira Salazar, for
you don't know, she's the congressman from Miami area. She
grew up in between Miami and Puerto Rico for most
of her life and rose to prominence in the eighties
(02:07):
as a political correspondent for Spanish language television networks like Univision,
and in the nineties she covered the Al Salvadorian Civil
War that was pretty prominent, and in nineteen ninety five
she landed her biggest interview of her career when she
got to interview Fidel Castro, the communist dictator obviously from Cuba,
who is now long deceased. In the interview, she ended
(02:32):
up I would say, I don't speak Spanish, so it
wasn't It didn't come off to cross this to me.
To some people, she came off complementary or overly respectful
for Castro, and this interview ends up coming to haunt
her in the future. We'll come back to that. In
two thousand and three, she lands another big interview where
(02:53):
she gets to talk to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. He
was actually just a few years from death and the interview,
her interview with him was the evidence provided to prove
that he wasn't competent enough to stand trial for human
rights violation. So I mean it ended up I guess
working out for him. She also interviews many American politicians
(03:15):
Bill Clinton, George Bush, and then in twenty sixteen she
started making more of a mainstream presence for herself on
English language television. She tried and failed to get an
interview with President Donald Trump or then Canada Donald Trump,
and she spoke to Bill O'Reilly about it when she
wanted to convey to him that salads are wanted to
convey to Trump that the American people really didn't need
(03:37):
a border wall.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Let's go to clip one.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Immigration laws are being broken in this country every single
day by two groups. Number one, the illegals, the ones
that everybody talks about mentions, you know, people that are
crossing the border, jumping the fence, defying the desert. But
there's this other group called the business owners of America,
who are offering those those aliens or those illegal aliens jobs.
(04:04):
So if we really want to in this country fix immigration,
the problem we have to be.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
We have to be uh a transparent verify and stuff
like that. We verify, you don't need a wall.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Some people think, sir, that you don't need a physical wall,
you need an electronic one, which is.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
In place already.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I think, I think, and Illinois past both to some extent. Fine,
but let's talk about the other one as well.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, So she makes multiple Fox News appearances during this
year Trump's running for president, talking about the border. She
kind of becomes the Fox News.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
She's not.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
She doesn't pay the play of Fox News, but she
gets on foxingers enough to be like the right wing
voice for illegal immigrants. She almost becomes a spokesperson for
the right for Republicans, saying that they need to be
nice to illegals.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Uh where she said there?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, she also says, by the way, there is no
negatives to being nicer towards illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Go to clip too.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Or twelve states allow illegals to have driver's licenses.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Make the case for that.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think it sounds like it shouldn't be going on,
but you say differently.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Absolutely, thank you for having me in Happy Holidays is
the intelligent thing to do for the California lawmakers. Why
for two reasons, economic reasons and for security reasons.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Economic reasons, the.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
California business owners are going to be very happy because
those people that are working for them are going to
be on time. Not only that, then they will not
be freeloaders. If they are not freeloaders, they'll be paying taxes.
They're paying taxes. There will not be parasites to the community.
And on top of that, the California transportation system is
not going to be burdened.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's the economic side.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
On the security side, three million people will come out
of the door. You will know their names, their addresses,
their last names, their faces, date.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Of birth.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You will know, you will know, you will have their thumbprints,
and you will know the country of origin, so you
will be able to spotlight terrorists.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, that's when they were discussing to give driver's licenses
to illegal immigrants. Now I don't I'm not going to
be mean to Congressman Salazar, but obviously if you are
a criminal or a terrorist, you're not going to pursue
illegal driver's licenses. But this is but there was no
downside to her. She also could not have predicted, because
(06:39):
she doesn't see any downside ever to legalizing illegal aliens,
that California would end up doing automatic voter registration from
driver's licenses, something that the Trump administration is suing today
to make sure that California provides details that they have
removed illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
With driver's licenses from their voter rolls. Here.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She is on Charles pain Show, also on Fox News,
that locker recipients are not only ideal immigrants, but they
are in fact more American than you or I are.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Clip three.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They are the ideal immigrants because they assimilated already, They
love America, they speak English. There are more Americans than
you and me. So sending them back, absolutely, it's horrible,
has to be a horrible decision for the president.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And here she is on Neil Kabuto Show in twenty seventeen,
now Donald Trump as president, saying the president has a
golden opportunity to sign an amnesty, but she doesn't want
to call it that clip.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Four forty percent of the people that have been deported
up to now around one hundred thousand people between January
and now, thirty percent of them hadn't had a criminal.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Record or a brush with a law.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Same thing happened with President Obama. So what I'm saying,
and you asked me, what I'm saying is that now
the Republican Party has the golden opportunity, the Republican Party
House and Senate to step up to the plate and say, here,
mister president, here's the law that you can sign giving
these kids some type of like I mean, I don't
want to hear the word amnesty or citizenship.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Legality, legality. I mean, it's a perfect time to sign anesty.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
When Republican voters just put the Republican Party in charge
to protect our borders, it's just a perfect time to
stab them in the back. When is it a bad
time according to Salazar's mind, to not give an amnesty.
She doesn't really go there because this club is nine
years old. This is not like she just started this bandwagon.
(08:31):
She's been talking to us for a long time. She
even opposed Trump's executive orders in the first term to
stop waves of migrants. For her, she wanted Trump to
actually rather than sign executive orders to defend the border.
She won the present to negotiate with foreign countries and
begged them to stop sending their people as illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Clip five thirty percent of Hispanic's voter for mister Trump.
Sixty percent of Trueman American's voted for him because they
would like to see some order when it comes to immigration.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
But I believe that.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Order comes with a comprehensive immigration reform law, not necessarily
doing immigration topics through executive order. And I thanks, Yes,
we could solve all these problems. We could have the
best relations with our Mexican neighbor.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Like I said, it is our.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Third most important business partner in the world, and it
controls the people that come in here. We could do
two things, Immigration reform law number one and number two
go to nicarag One go to Guatemala.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
And talk to them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Mister Trump is a is a coalition builder.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
He got he knows how to deal with.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Different cultural sensitivities, so he could sit with the three
presidents and say, hey, guys, let's put our house in order.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Let me help you not export people.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And those countries Wamala on doors and Alsalva will love
to talk to mister Trump, just like right now the
Mexicans are loving to talk to the State our mister Tillerson.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So nothing to defend America's borders. We just have to
beg other countries to stop sending illegal aliens. Her solution
to the immigration crisis during Trump's first term wasn't to
do a wall or she was obviously extremely against building
a wall, which had it been completed during Trump's first term,
we would not have had the same level of waves
(10:22):
of migration during Biden's presidency. It was just to spend
all of our time and energy begging triangle countries to
stop sending illegals. She even wanted American taxpayers to send
money to those countries in exchange for not sending illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Next clip, we can.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Go to those three countries that are exporting the majority
of the people that are knocking on our border and
help them put their house in order. Then we could
avoid or save the money that we're going to be
investing on the twenty million, twenty billion dollars that will
cost to build a wall along the Mexican border. And
ear mark those two hundred and eighty million dollars there
(11:03):
were giving to those three countries. Hear mark that for
what Nicora would did. No one really talks about why
Nicaraguans are not coming and knocking on our border because
the nicor and I'm not a friend of the Nicarogan government,
but they knew how to do it and they could
help us solve the problem.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
That's another nd.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So to wrap up all these clips, and I know
I gave a lot out. Maria Elvirus Salazard never supported
Trump's poor World policies and said they wouldn't work, And
so the only way to really stop the migration crisis
was to give Latin America more money and work with
the Latin American presidents in each respective country. At the time,
they were very far left wing presidencies, ask them, please, sir,
(11:44):
please stop sending illegal aliens. And then of course at
the same time, grant illegal aliens amnesty, grant them some
kind of citizenship. None of this turned out to be true.
Trump was able to stop the flow of illegal immigrants
in both the first and second term by being tough
on enforcement. And what else Maria Elvira salas Are was
wrong about was the idea that the immigration crisis will
(12:05):
be limited to those three countries, those three or four countries.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Under Joe Biden. The whole world came in to this country.
The whole entire world showed up at the Mexican border
when they knew that they had easy access to the
entire interior of the United States. There was no border world,
there was no enforcement. See, she's immensely short sighted when
it comes to the problem of illegal immigration, and she's
utterly no shame in the fact that she's wrong. Facts
(12:30):
be damned. She's got an ideology to push. So Salazar
runs for Congress in twenty eighteen, and that interview with
cash Show that I mentioned at the top of the show,
it comes back to haunt her. Democrats say she was
overly complementary to cashtro showing him too much respect, using
terms in Spanish that show dignity to this communist dictator
that murdered so many people. She goes on to lose
(12:52):
that race, but wins in twenty twenty when Trump flips
her district, and her seat was always a historically a
seat that historically elected a Republican to Congress but voted
for a president Democrat for president. In twenty sixteen, Hillary
Clinton wins her seat by seventeen points, but in twenty
twenty Trump manages to flip it by less than half
(13:13):
a point, and in twenty twenty four, he goes on
to Winny by fifteen points. This immense growth in support
among the Latin American community, in the immigrant community. By
the way, I remember twenty twenty four, he can'spaigns on
mass deportation.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It's a huge swing, and Trump wins. She wins on
Trump's cotails.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
By twenty twenty four, Salozar wins her reelection by twenty points.
She serves in Congress now from twenty twenty two to
this year. She's running for reelection and guess what her
constant prediction and warning is to Republicans. If you don't
support amnesty, you're going to lose the next election. She
introduces the Dignity Act. This Dignity Act was first introduced
(13:51):
in February eighth, twenty twenty two, and she said, guess what,
it's a golden time to win over the Latino vote,
and if they didn't do it, they would lose the
next election. She predicts this every single year. She's like
that crazy person you see on the street saying the
sky is falling or the end is near.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This was, by the way, in the middle of the
Biden border crisis, Salosar was saying, we need to pass
mass legalization of tens of millions of illegal immigrants during
a border crisis. It would have signaled to them, keep coming,
because we will give you citizenship. In twenty twenty four,
she pushed against Congressmanship Roy's border protection bill, teaming up
(14:31):
with now disgraced Congressman who just lost his primary Tony
Gonzalez to push back against the bill.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean birds of a feather.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
In June of that year, Salozard's team starts pedelling this
story that it was utterly always nonsense that she was
in the running for Trump's VP. They pulled cold water
on that pretty quickly. However, she uses a constant press
cycle to elevate herself, elevate her name, settus, and elevate
her pet issue and the c for ely aliens. She
(15:01):
was always committed to one thing, and one thing, only,
passing the Dignity Act, saying that if Republicans didn't get
behind legalization, they were going to lose in twenty twenty four.
Of course that also didn't happen, like so many things
Salazar says. But here's what Salasar is doing, and she's
doing it brilliantly. Every year she says, Republicans pass amnesty
(15:21):
or you're going to lose. That has been the case
for the last four years. But if you keep saying it,
eventually it will happen. Eventually Republicans will lose an election,
like eventually Democrats will lose an election. That's just the
nature of politics. And eventually she can say that she
was right, that her prediction was right, even though it
has nothing to do with amnesty. It's about the economy.
(15:41):
I've talked about that a million times in this podcast.
But she'll claim it was amnesty and the media will
pick up and say, oh, look, there was a swing
among Latinos and must be because Salazar was correct as
if she has never said this in the past when
it hasn't been proven correctly, it doesn't matter if the
reason is not the same. She's no one's keeping score
(16:02):
of what she's saying and what she's doing. They're just
gonna detail the last time that she said it. So
if Republicans lose the House and or the Senate in
the fall, she's going to make the claim it's because
they didn't support amnesty. And I'm sure some Republicans and
especially a lot of the people in the media will
believe her. Okay, let's go to the Dignity Act coming
(16:22):
up next. Okay, now that we know about Maria Elvira Salazar,
she's a woman who, even before being elected to Congress,
was talking about the need to defend and support illegal immigrants.
She called them more American than Americans. She says that
they are the people that are in the most need
in the United States, that we should be greating special privileges.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
She opposed building a porter wall.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
She wanted to send taxpayer dollars to corrupt countries in
Central and South America to get them to stop sending
migrants to the United States. But what is her bill,
the Dignity, or as is actually written in Congress, the Dignidad,
which is a Spanish version of dignity.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
They are not.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They are completely unblatant about who this is for. What
does this bill actually do? By the way, this bill
has twenty Republican co sponsors in the House, many of
whom come from very safe for publican districts that have
a very small illegal alien population, a very small Hispanic population.
So why are they supporting this bill. We'll go into
that in one second. But here's the bill in section
(17:24):
so you know which section does which thing. Section twenty
three oh three, Part D prohibits DHS from deporting any
illegals who simply apply for the Dignity program. So by
even applying, even if it turns out they're not eligible,
they would be prevented from deportation while their status is
being handling by DHS. So regardless of their criminal background,
regardless of how long they've been in this country. You know,
(17:46):
if they have an issue that would wade them from
being an applicant, it doesn't matter. They're protected so long
as they apply for the digniac and they can kick
around the country for possibly a couple of years while
that is all sorted out and protects more final aliens.
Section fifteen h two of the bill opens the floodgates
to asylum seekers by decreasing the processing times and mandates
(18:09):
DHS ensures contract with legal counsel. In other words, they're
going to illegal aliens applying for asylum get free lawyers
that when I say free, I mean taxpayer funded American
tax dollars. So not only can an the legal alien
come here and declare asylum. And I want to make
it very clear, a majority of people who declare asylum
(18:31):
in the United States are deny their asylum cases. It's
over ninety percent now. But even during the Biden administration,
which obviously was very liberal, a majority of asylum seekers
were denied asylum. They didn't have actually any legal right
or any legal claim to asylum they when they applied
for it. Under this bill, the American taxpayer will be
(18:54):
funding their entire legal case while they're here. Think of
how many people applied for asylum under the Biden administration.
Another Democrat president comes in, think about how many more
will apply for asylum. This is potentially millions, if not
tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to an ever increasing
trove of people from the Third World to come here
(19:16):
and say they need to get asylum because they have
some kind of claim even when they don't. And the
thing what asylum is if you are denied asylum, you
could simply apply again. You could petition the court to
apply again. You have to do within thirty days of
a judge's decision. This could break up hundreds of thousands
of dollars per illegal alien as they keep doing this,
(19:37):
it's crazy. Section thirty two oh two more than doubles
the per country immigrant visa cap. So what this means
is so every country that we have country caps for
every country for most work visas H one BH two A.
And the way it works is once a country hits
their country cap and other countries don't, those countries applications
(19:59):
are together and disperse for people that for countries that
have more applicants than they have people in the country cap.
This is very true for India and China, especially because
obviously it's the largest countries, this would double the amount
of people applying. Now, I want to make it clear
some visas, some work visas have no caps on them.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
So farm visas.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
For example, whenever you hear farmers say we can't get
enough workers, that is completely untrue. There is unlimited amount
of farm workers that can apply for a visa in
this country. What they're complaining about is that they don't
have enough illegal alien farm worker rather than legal because
legal aliens who work on farms have to have certain protections,
and farmers just want to, you know, absolutely get illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Aliens where they don't have to pay them as much.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I want to protect them, don't have to put you know,
put safe work environments, give them transportation, all the rest
of it. We give more than a million legal work
visas per year. Under the cells our bill, we would
be getting more than two million, two million work visas
per year.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Gee, I'm so glad there's not a housing.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Shortage right now or an ai revolution that's putting workers,
you know, in a precarious situation where they can't get
a job. What makes this section even more insane is
the fact that family members of those applicants do not
count towards the cap. So it's two million workers and
potentially four or five million people. If you think the
(21:29):
housing shortage is bad, now, wait, Salazar is going to
make it so much worse. And this is especially true
for white collar workers. There's a lot of emphasis on
white collar workers, the people whose jobs are the most
in trouble from the Ai Revolution. This is why a
lot of congressmen who will have very few Hispanics, very
(21:50):
few illegal alliance in their district, have signed on to
this bill. Why because the donors want it so badly,
because they get tons of cheap labor and their visa
is staple to their job. In other words, they can't
look for a better position. The only way they can
stay in this country is if they continue to work
at the job, even if the job has a bad
(22:11):
work environment or mistreats them, or any of the other
stuff that where where employers can sometimes abuse workers, adding
tons of people to compete for the same jobs, overcrowding
institutions like schools, taking up some vital resources. There is
no special waivers in this application off of the public
charge or preventing them from getting social services like education
(22:35):
or to children's social services, or obviously, if they have
a child in America, that child will then be app
eligible for every type of welfare program under the sun.
It's a permanent and irreversible way to transform the United States.
Next section, section thirty one to twelve allows the next
Democratic Attorney general to terminate removal proceedings against illegal aliens
(23:00):
have a family member as a US citizen. Now, when
Democrats come into office, they and this is not just true,
Democrats pushed it as well, but they can just ignore
parts of the law. They just don't enforce parts of
the law. That is really the problem of our illegal
immigration system. Almost everything when it comes to illegal immigration
can be solved if we enforce the law.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Obviously Trump solved it. The laws are all written.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
In the nineties, Clinton signed a treasure trove of laws
allowing the president to enforce immigration law. So sorry to
do immigration law in a way that would stop illegals
crossing the border. It's not a question for the laws
are written. It's a question if they're inforced. There's a
few places where Congress should get involved, but mostly it's
on the president. Rarely to Democratic attorney generals and presidents
(23:47):
get involved where they stop removal proceedings in the middle
of them. Despite the leg they may ignore the law
to do stop doing new ones, but they won't actually
get involved in stopping removal proceedings. This goes one step further,
allowing Democrats to wholeheartedly not only stop new enforcement, but
actually canceled all in the old enforcement. And if they
(24:10):
have a minor crime, let's say identity theft. Let's say
they stole your grandma social Security number and they've destroyed
her credit rating, or stole your childs or yours, they
would it's not considered a violent crime. They would have
every right to allow those people in the country and
stop their deportation proceedings. Okay, last section I want to
talk about. Section fifteen. Sixteen mandates that student loan forgiveness
(24:34):
for immigration lawyers who assist illegal aliens in their application
for the Dignity Act. So if you're a lawyer and
you assist an illegal alien to come into this country
illegally and get an apply for the waiver, you get
seventy five percent of your college student loan paid by
the taxpayer. It also prevents allegations of gang membership in
(24:57):
state and federal databases from being used to determine if
someone is eligible for the amnesty program, because she's saying,
oh no, you're if you have a criminal record, you
can't get this application. Well, they can't even search the
state gang databases to see if they're possibly a gang member.
This is not only an amnesty program. It is an
(25:19):
assault on the American taxpayer, the American worker, and it
will be the end of the Republican Party. I know
they're saying that, you know they they won't get the vote.
These illegal aliens won't get the vote. I promise you
they will get the vote. Congressman Mike Lawler was on
the Laura Ingram Show last week saying that Republicans should
pass this bill because if they don't, when Democrats get
(25:41):
in office, they're going to have their own amnesty bill,
which will be far worser and won't have any enforcement
versus the current Dignity Act, which has some kind of
fake enforcements. Let's go to that clip.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
What the Democrats will do if they get complete control
of Congress and the White House, They're going to end
the filibuster and they are going to pass a blanket
amnesty bill. That's the fundamental challenge here. What we are
trying to do is say if you came under the
Biden administration, you don't qualify. If you have committed a crime,
you don't qualify. And here's the thing about legislation, Laura,
(26:14):
you understand that's better than most.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I love that, Laura, because it's totally not true. And
here's what Lawa and Salas are and all the rest
of them are not saying. If Democrats win and get
full power, they're just one. They're not going to enforce
any new news supposed and enforcement measures in this bill,
like they don't enforce the current law assigned by Bill
Clinton in the nineties. And to grant the right to
(26:39):
vote for all these people who are here legally and
they won't be. They won't be the right to vote.
They'll get the right to work. They will do that anyway.
It's a completely nonsensical argument that Lawler's making. He's saying,
you know, support the Republican amnesty and so the Democratic amnesty,
and they can't do it when they can do it,
and the Republican amnesty is the Democratic embassy. That's why
(27:00):
they have twenty Democrats joining them in that amnesty. You know,
they say that builds an end illegal immigration, and that's
kind of true because all it means.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Is all the illegals will be legal.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
It's not like we're gonna get anything it's just it's
just changing the name of the paperwork. And when Salazar
and lawl Are have been asked, how is DHS going
to deal with this process, they say, DHS will you know,
they'll deal with it.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
They'll make the determination.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
USCIS, which deals with citizenship status and they deal with
VIZA are totally understaff.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
They have been forever. They're overworked.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
If they do this Dignity Act, the USCIS will have
to process over six thousand people per day.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Then that's a conservative estimate. There is no way, there
is no way.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
This is probably going to be done. It's too large,
it's too many people. It goes on forever. It's completely reckless.
There's no cap by the way, in the number of
illegals that can be in this process. Its not like
they're saying, oh, it's fifteen million people or ten million people.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
It can be thirty million people, it could be forty
million people. There's no limitation at all.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And as I said over and over again in the
case of the Reagan Amnesty, for fifteen years after the
Reaganasty was signed, liberal judges were waiving all the all
the regulations. They were waving whether or not someone could
get the Reagan amnesty that was happening till two thousand
and two.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
This could go on easily till twenty forty easily.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I cannot overstate how much the American taxpayer is being
screwed by Maria Alvira Salazar. And I want to take
a second and read the names of her co sponsors
of this bill. And if you live in their district,
you need to call their office and tell them that
you will not.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Be voting for them.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You'll vote third party, you'll vote Democrat, you won't vote
you'll skip the line, whatever. I don't care if their
district is going to go to a Democrat, it doesn't matter.
But they need to know that their own voters are
pissed with them. And if you have, if you live
in a Republican district and your congressman has not co sponsored,
call them until hell them don't support the bill that
you're opposed to it. The number for the switch board,
(29:04):
by the way, is two O two two two four
three one two to one.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That's two O two two two four three one two one.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
If we shut down the switchboard because we overloaded the
congressional switch board, it will send a message. Okay, here
are the twenty Republicans who have co sponsored this terrible bill, obviously,
Maria Salazar in Florida twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's Miami.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Mike Lawler, who represents Rockland in parts of Westchester County.
That's New York seventeen. David Baldeo from California's twenty second district.
That's the Central Valley of California. Dan Newhouse of Washington State.
He's retiring. You don't have to call him.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Mike Kelly.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
He represents all of Western Pa from Erie to Pittsburgh.
Brian Fitzpatrick represents Bucks County in Pennsylvania's first district. Gabe
Evans is in the suburbs of Denver in Colorado's eighth district.
Marlon Stutsman, he represents North East Indiana and Indiana's third.
Don Bacon also retiring from Omaha. You don't have to
(30:00):
call him. Young Kim from District forty. She has a serious,
serious primary challenge California District forty's and her opponent is
not supporting the amnes the Dignity Act as of right now.
Mario Diaz Balart Folor out of twenty six. James Bard
Indiana four. That's the northwest part of Indianapolis, the subs
(30:20):
of Indianapolis. Lloyd Smucker, Pa. Eleven that's Lancaster County to
Amish Country. Nick Lolota, he represents New York one in
Suffolk County, New York. Monica de la Cruz from California's
fifteenth with the border of Mexico. Neil Dunn from Florida second.
That's the Panhandle of Florida. Jennifer Kiggins Virginia tow that's
the suburbs of Virginia. Zachary Nunn, who represents the southwest
(30:44):
of Iowa. A lot those places do not have large
illegal alien populations or large Hispanic populations. They are in
it for the business community who want cheap labor and
to screw over the American taxpayer and the American worker.
That's why they're in it. They're out to stab them
in the back. After running and many times running with
(31:05):
President Trump on what he said for mass deportations, I'm
very annoyed about this. I have immigrations the issue that
made me a Republican. It absolutely did. I when I
was eighteen years old and easily influenced and they were
act war was going on. I became a Republican because
I thought that the words around supporting illegal immigration over
American citizens was delusional and insane, and I became a
(31:25):
Republican because of that, and I thought we really had
turned a corner with Trump, especially Trump in twenty twenty four,
and the fact that these twenty Republicans are going with
going forward with it. I cannot imagine how much horse
is going to get once Trump leaves the White House.
I'm sure they want to return to the Bush, Jase.
I absolutely believe it. So I will be having a
(31:46):
special announcement on my social media coming.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Where I will talk about how I'm going to try
to fight against these Republicans supporting amnesty and any Republican
supporting amnesty, and I will talk about that on the
show on ends day. Check it out on my social
media accounts, so especially my Twitter or ex so at
Ryan Gardoski. Okay, next up, ask me anything. First question
(32:12):
up comes from David. He says, Hey, Ryan, big fan
of the show. In your work, you do. Every millennial
and gen Z friend of mine is not in favor
of the current Iran war, but all the boomers I
know like it. In two thousand and seven, the book
The Israel Lobby was released, which criticized the outside impact
of Israel's interest in the US forum policy and decision making.
Looking at the discrepancy of opinion in regard to the
(32:33):
current Middle East conflict among different demographics. Would you describe
as the cause or imperatives of the shift opinions towards
US Israel relations. Have people finally caught up with Pap
Buchanan what he said in the nineties during the First
Goal War. There are only two groups that are being
the drums for war in the Middle East, Israel and
the defense Israel's defense ministry and the amen corner of
(32:54):
the United States. That is a very complicated question. Thank
you for it. The book The Israel Lobby. I bought
it and then never read it. It's on my bookshelf.
It's one of those many books that I have that
I'm like, oh, I'm going to get to this when
I have free time. And now I'm like, can I
get to read a single article in a day? That
would be great? What I think on the democrats side,
let's talk with the democrats, Ie, why it is shift
(33:16):
in Israel happened partially because I mean, this is a
very low IQ level intellect that the left is engaged in.
But I'm not surprised. The left is a very basic
understanding of people who are perpetrators of conflict, people who
are victims of conflict, people who are pressed, and people
who are pressers. They view and they view everything through
(33:39):
racial terms, and they see Israelis as being white and
Palastins as being brown, and in their heads, brown people
are always oppressed against white people. That's the guttural baseline level.
There's anti Semitism sprinkled in, especially among immigrant classes, but
that is the guttural baseline LIB white, LIB college educated level.
(33:59):
On the Republicans on the right, I think there's multiple things,
and this could be true for some people the left,
but it's mostly on the right. One, I think that
we are war. We were a country, and Iraq has
totally tainted any kind of military intervention that there will
be in this country for a generation. Iraq was such
(34:20):
an ongoing disaster and quagmire.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Two.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I think that the historic context of why Israel is
an important nation, or why Israel was created after World
War Two is lost on younger people. We are as
far away from World War Two as you know World
War Two was from the Civil War. It'd be like
(34:44):
explaining the Civil War to somebody born in nineteen forty
one as if it was as important as you know,
what happened yesterday. When as time goes on, as history changes,
people forget and people don't have a memory of it,
and it doesn't mean as much to them, and it
just doesn't mean as much to them. And then thirdly,
(35:06):
I think that religiosity has changed and Christian Zionism is
not what it used to be, and the as the
Republican Party has grown has changed, and as Trump has expanded.
Of course with his election victory, there are just a
smaller pool of Christian Zionists in the Republican Party, and
(35:27):
even among the American Evelan jelgu class there are less
that are Christian Zionists to begin with. So I think
you have all three things happening. And I think for
a lot of Jews in America who are friends of
mine and I've spoken them about this, a lot of
them who were liberal for a very long time, I
think they will go about to October seventh and saw
the protests in New York City, because people need to
(35:48):
remember the anti Israel protests started the day after October
seventh in this country, there were still Jews bleeding out
in Israel when when they were protesting, is Israel not
done a single thing. Yet there are just some American
leftists and recent immigrants who want to see dead Jews.
There's no other actual explanation for why you would why
(36:11):
you would protest the country that just been attacked, like
October seventh was an attack. That being said, I think
that I I think that there is that that guttural reaction,
that guttural instinct woke a lot of American Jews minds
up and said, wow, we've made friends with all the
wrong people because for generations, a lot of American Jews,
liberal American Jews were told of the left's your friend,
(36:34):
and they realize, wow, they're really really not. And my
the thing that I really wish we could have a comprehensive,
real conversation around Israel that wasn't so so, I don't
know demonic at times, it's it's there is a line
between having a real conversation and being anti Semitic, and
(36:55):
when you dehumanize another person, you are being anti Semitic.
And a lot of people on the right, are dehumanizing them,
They're making them less than people. And that's where I
have an absolute hard line. You cannot I will not
broach that. You will not talk about another person, regardless
of their religion or their race, whatever, like they're not human.
We all have a soul for a reason. So that's
(37:18):
just I think that's why the Israel conversation has changed.
It's a very touchy topic. I feel a lot for
American Jews. I have a lot of friends who are Jewish,
and there is things I disagree with that I would
love to have a conversation about. I just don't feel
like one I'm the most informant person in the world,
and two I don't need a pilon. I just don't
need a pilon right now. We could take a breath
(37:39):
and then have serious conversations. And there's a lot also
I want to learn before I have a serious conversation.
I don't like to come to the table uninformed. Okay,
next question comes from Trevor. Thank you for that question.
By the way, question comes from Trevor. He wrote to
me before he said, I didn't mention to you last time.
I'm from Michigan. Thanks for responding. My email question about amnesty.
Don't worry. I don't put you in the same catat
(38:00):
as the black pillars by any mean, thank you.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm not a black pillar. I'm positive.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I was referring to the people that's been all day,
every day dunking on Israel as though they have nothing
else happening in the world, and then complain that they're
not odd to.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Talk about Israel. That is so true.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
People who say when I'll talk about Israel can never
shut up about it, even though literally no one is
censoring them, and they make millions of dollars doing it.
I do not make millions of dollars doing this. Hopefully
one day this is show grows. Give me a five
star review, everybody. Since you've been bringing up the census
a lot recently, I was wondering if you know whether
or not there are plans for red states to run
ad campaigns to encourage residents to fill out the census.
(38:37):
I read an article back saying that in the twenty
twenty census, Blue states should have lost more electoral College votes,
and they did, and Red state should have gained more
than they did, but the reason didn't happen because Blues
State's dumped a ton of money and ad campaigns encouraging
the residents to fill the census. That's part of the reason.
Part of the reason. Part of the reason was a
census miscalculation. It was a lot of seeds. I mean,
(38:58):
it wasn't a hundred seats. It was seats though it
was maybe like four or five that there were miscalculation.
And I don't know why Trump doesn't rede the census
or do a mid cycle census. I don't know if
that's even legal or possible, but it's not really being floated.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I think that there are certain governors.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That absolutely will Texas has a huge opportunity to grow
to be forty four to forty five electoral college votes.
I mean, it might might be the case where Texas
and California are tied in the next census. I don't
know if it's possible as far as electoral college votes
(39:37):
and seats go. I could see Texas doing that, I
could see Florida doing that. I could see South Carolina
that may gain a seat because there's some people moving there.
North Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Utah. I known the states that
are likely to gain seats. I absolutely could see them
trying to do that because they have a lot of
political capital gain in this time. Those of the states are
(39:58):
most likely the seat by the way dish gain in
red states Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I think they'll all do some kind of campaign. Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Next question from Joseph Hey, Ryan, I was wondering, what
are your thoughts of Pam Bondi being fired? Do you
think her placement will be much better? Keep up the
great work. Yeah, I don't know Pam Bondy. I have
friends who've known her. I have friends who talked to her.
I think that she mishandled the whole Epstein file so
poorly she should have been fired for that alone. She
(40:32):
was allegedly fired for leak ink, but I think she
should have been fired for the miss handling of the
Epstein files because she made it a conversation starter. Again,
it wasn't in the mainstream conversation until she handled those
binders to those influencers, And for that alone, I think
she should have been fired. And she did it without
It wasn't a meeting on Epstein. I've talked to us
where it was a meeting with influences about what the
administration is doing, and she brought these binders to it
(40:53):
and gave it to them, and it was very embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Became the entire media narrative media story. Okay.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Last question comes from about I don't know who are
replacement is, so I don't know how they're going to do.
Last question comes from Mike Ryan. Per usual, your show
is highly entertaining and equally informative. Thank you, Mike. I try.
I hope squawk Box has you on their show during
the midterm election cycle. I would love to be on
Squawkbox now. Regarding who the Democrats are going to put
their full support behind, my gut tells me it's going
to be Wes Moore. His name has been percolating in
(41:23):
the party for a while now, and I think that
the Houdini magic trick to the back door any meaningful
discourse on his lying about his background and earning a
bronze star. Yeah, I would think that too, But the
Baltimore news media is really going after him in a
way that you usually don't see for Democrats, like an
oddly specific The Maryland Democrat liberal media has been going
(41:43):
after Wes Moore. My other two nominees, I think our
potential are either Mark Kelly or Andy Basheer. Now I
haven't heard much reguarding Bashir, but I heard all his
political pundits throw his name aro on the contenders. He's
so boring. I don't think it's going to be him.
They will one thousand percent. They will not let Kamala
run again. He said, what are your thoughts on the
Democratic nominee? Kamala actually went to an event last week
(42:05):
and they were chanting run. Here's the thing, and I've
said this over and over again. If they allow a
state like Nevada, New Hampshire and Iowa to be the
first state to vote, which they don't know what the
calendar will be at, progressive can be the nominee. If
South Carolina goes first, then the entire vote of the
(42:26):
next Democratic nominee will be decided upon by black older women.
That is the majority of the vote in these deep
southern states still except for like Florida, I think, but
besides that, it's mostly black, black older women that decided
the Democratic nominee for president. They put Bill Clinton in,
they put Barack Obama in, they put they nominated, they
(42:47):
supported all these people. I think the only one who
got the nomination without their support initially was John Kerry.
I'm okay, Well that turned out. They got Joe Biden.
They gave him his big pushback so after being down
in the polls. So I think that a lot depends
on the calendar. Until we know the calendar of what
states go first. If it's South Carolina, it's a signal
(43:10):
from the Democratic Party that they want an establishment centrist
who has support from the black community. If it's Iowa,
New Hampshire, Nevada, it's a wild card. It's a much
different electorate. Pay attention to the calendar. We can't know
until we have the calendar. Could it become I wouldn't
say no. I really wouldn't say no. If she is
(43:31):
the support of the black community. If she runs there
and says that, I wouldn't say no. I don't know,
but I want to see who the calendar is. If
it's like Iowa first, I kind of doubt that it's
going to be her, but it definitely opens with the
door to like a peeple, to judge or an AOC
or somebody. Andy Basheer is so intolerably boring. I just
don't see how he's going to do it. So anyway,
that's this episode. I will see you guys on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
That also helps grow the channel. I appreciate all of you.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
I will talk to you guys on Wednesday.
Welcome back to a numbers game with Brian Gerdusky. We're
going to do a deep dive on Congresswoman Maria Alvira
Salazar and her Dignity Act because she says it's on amnesty,
but I've done a lot of homework on it and
her and we'll get that in one second. But I
want to talk about the Eric Slowwell story really briefly.
(00:25):
At Congress and Eric Slowell running for governor, the leading
Democrat for governor of California, has been accused of sexual
assault and sexual harassment by at least four different women.
The women's stories are slightly murky, not that I don't
believe that they have any merit to them, but like
one had a previous sexual relationship with Slowwell. There's just
(00:49):
it's not like the most concrete case that it could be. However,
everyone in DC has heard stories about Slawell being handsy
and inappropriate with women. I know of at least two
women in my own social circle whose Slawwell came onto
(01:10):
and aggressively touched went after them when they were not
consenting or wanting any part of it. I think this
case has legs to it. I think it's going to
go further. I think more women are going.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
To come forward.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
In fact, I've spoken to women who are saying they
may come forward. So I think that there's a lot
more to the story than we are going to see,
and I think that it will all but kill his
bid for governor of California. Okay, we'll go more into
that as the story comes forward and we do more
of a deep dive.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But that's the case for Eric Slawell. Just so that
way you've heard and you know it all right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
First, now let's go to Maria Alvira Salazar. Who is
this woman who's constantly talking about illegal immigration and the
need to support illegal immigration. Well, Maria Elvira Salazar, for
you don't know, she's the congressman from Miami area. She
grew up in between Miami and Puerto Rico for most
of her life and rose to prominence in the eighties
(02:07):
as a political correspondent for Spanish language television networks like Univision,
and in the nineties she covered the Al Salvadorian Civil
War that was pretty prominent, and in nineteen ninety five
she landed her biggest interview of her career when she
got to interview Fidel Castro, the communist dictator obviously from Cuba,
who is now long deceased. In the interview, she ended
(02:32):
up I would say, I don't speak Spanish, so it
wasn't It didn't come off to cross this to me.
To some people, she came off complementary or overly respectful
for Castro, and this interview ends up coming to haunt
her in the future. We'll come back to that. In
two thousand and three, she lands another big interview where
(02:53):
she gets to talk to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. He
was actually just a few years from death and the interview,
her interview with him was the evidence provided to prove
that he wasn't competent enough to stand trial for human
rights violation. So I mean it ended up I guess
working out for him. She also interviews many American politicians
(03:15):
Bill Clinton, George Bush, and then in twenty sixteen she
started making more of a mainstream presence for herself on
English language television. She tried and failed to get an
interview with President Donald Trump or then Canada Donald Trump,
and she spoke to Bill O'Reilly about it when she
wanted to convey to him that salads are wanted to
convey to Trump that the American people really didn't need
(03:37):
a border wall.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Let's go to clip one.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Immigration laws are being broken in this country every single
day by two groups. Number one, the illegals, the ones
that everybody talks about mentions, you know, people that are
crossing the border, jumping the fence, defying the desert. But
there's this other group called the business owners of America,
who are offering those those aliens or those illegal aliens jobs.
(04:04):
So if we really want to in this country fix immigration,
the problem we have to be.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
We have to be uh a transparent verify and stuff
like that. We verify, you don't need a wall.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Some people think, sir, that you don't need a physical wall,
you need an electronic one, which is.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
In place already.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I think, I think, and Illinois past both to some extent. Fine,
but let's talk about the other one as well.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, So she makes multiple Fox News appearances during this
year Trump's running for president, talking about the border. She
kind of becomes the Fox News.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
She's not.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
She doesn't pay the play of Fox News, but she
gets on foxingers enough to be like the right wing
voice for illegal immigrants. She almost becomes a spokesperson for
the right for Republicans, saying that they need to be
nice to illegals.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Uh where she said there?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, she also says, by the way, there is no
negatives to being nicer towards illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Go to clip too.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Or twelve states allow illegals to have driver's licenses.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Make the case for that.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think it sounds like it shouldn't be going on,
but you say differently.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Absolutely, thank you for having me in Happy Holidays is
the intelligent thing to do for the California lawmakers. Why
for two reasons, economic reasons and for security reasons.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Economic reasons, the.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
California business owners are going to be very happy because
those people that are working for them are going to
be on time. Not only that, then they will not
be freeloaders. If they are not freeloaders, they'll be paying taxes.
They're paying taxes. There will not be parasites to the community.
And on top of that, the California transportation system is
not going to be burdened.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's the economic side.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
On the security side, three million people will come out
of the door. You will know their names, their addresses,
their last names, their faces, date.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Of birth.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You will know, you will know, you will have their thumbprints,
and you will know the country of origin, so you
will be able to spotlight terrorists.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, that's when they were discussing to give driver's licenses
to illegal immigrants. Now I don't I'm not going to
be mean to Congressman Salazar, but obviously if you are
a criminal or a terrorist, you're not going to pursue
illegal driver's licenses. But this is but there was no
downside to her. She also could not have predicted, because
(06:39):
she doesn't see any downside ever to legalizing illegal aliens,
that California would end up doing automatic voter registration from
driver's licenses, something that the Trump administration is suing today
to make sure that California provides details that they have
removed illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
With driver's licenses from their voter rolls. Here.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She is on Charles pain Show, also on Fox News,
that locker recipients are not only ideal immigrants, but they
are in fact more American than you or I are.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Clip three.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They are the ideal immigrants because they assimilated already, They
love America, they speak English. There are more Americans than
you and me. So sending them back, absolutely, it's horrible,
has to be a horrible decision for the president.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And here she is on Neil Kabuto Show in twenty seventeen,
now Donald Trump as president, saying the president has a
golden opportunity to sign an amnesty, but she doesn't want
to call it that clip.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Four forty percent of the people that have been deported
up to now around one hundred thousand people between January
and now, thirty percent of them hadn't had a criminal.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Record or a brush with a law.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Same thing happened with President Obama. So what I'm saying,
and you asked me, what I'm saying is that now
the Republican Party has the golden opportunity, the Republican Party
House and Senate to step up to the plate and say, here,
mister president, here's the law that you can sign giving
these kids some type of like I mean, I don't
want to hear the word amnesty or citizenship.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Legality, legality. I mean, it's a perfect time to sign anesty.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
When Republican voters just put the Republican Party in charge
to protect our borders, it's just a perfect time to
stab them in the back. When is it a bad
time according to Salazar's mind, to not give an amnesty.
She doesn't really go there because this club is nine
years old. This is not like she just started this bandwagon.
(08:31):
She's been talking to us for a long time. She
even opposed Trump's executive orders in the first term to
stop waves of migrants. For her, she wanted Trump to
actually rather than sign executive orders to defend the border.
She won the present to negotiate with foreign countries and
begged them to stop sending their people as illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Clip five thirty percent of Hispanic's voter for mister Trump.
Sixty percent of Trueman American's voted for him because they
would like to see some order when it comes to immigration.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
But I believe that.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Order comes with a comprehensive immigration reform law, not necessarily
doing immigration topics through executive order. And I thanks, Yes,
we could solve all these problems. We could have the
best relations with our Mexican neighbor.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Like I said, it is our.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Third most important business partner in the world, and it
controls the people that come in here. We could do
two things, Immigration reform law number one and number two
go to nicarag One go to Guatemala.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
And talk to them.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Mister Trump is a is a coalition builder.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
He got he knows how to deal with.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Different cultural sensitivities, so he could sit with the three
presidents and say, hey, guys, let's put our house in order.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Let me help you not export people.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And those countries Wamala on doors and Alsalva will love
to talk to mister Trump, just like right now the
Mexicans are loving to talk to the State our mister Tillerson.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So nothing to defend America's borders. We just have to
beg other countries to stop sending illegal aliens. Her solution
to the immigration crisis during Trump's first term wasn't to
do a wall or she was obviously extremely against building
a wall, which had it been completed during Trump's first term,
we would not have had the same level of waves
(10:22):
of migration during Biden's presidency. It was just to spend
all of our time and energy begging triangle countries to
stop sending illegals. She even wanted American taxpayers to send
money to those countries in exchange for not sending illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Next clip, we can.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Go to those three countries that are exporting the majority
of the people that are knocking on our border and
help them put their house in order. Then we could
avoid or save the money that we're going to be
investing on the twenty million, twenty billion dollars that will
cost to build a wall along the Mexican border. And
ear mark those two hundred and eighty million dollars there
(11:03):
were giving to those three countries. Hear mark that for
what Nicora would did. No one really talks about why
Nicaraguans are not coming and knocking on our border because
the nicor and I'm not a friend of the Nicarogan government,
but they knew how to do it and they could
help us solve the problem.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
That's another nd.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So to wrap up all these clips, and I know
I gave a lot out. Maria Elvirus Salazard never supported
Trump's poor World policies and said they wouldn't work, And
so the only way to really stop the migration crisis
was to give Latin America more money and work with
the Latin American presidents in each respective country. At the time,
they were very far left wing presidencies, ask them, please, sir,
(11:44):
please stop sending illegal aliens. And then of course at
the same time, grant illegal aliens amnesty, grant them some
kind of citizenship. None of this turned out to be true.
Trump was able to stop the flow of illegal immigrants
in both the first and second term by being tough
on enforcement. And what else Maria Elvira salas Are was
wrong about was the idea that the immigration crisis will
(12:05):
be limited to those three countries, those three or four countries.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Under Joe Biden. The whole world came in to this country.
The whole entire world showed up at the Mexican border
when they knew that they had easy access to the
entire interior of the United States. There was no border world,
there was no enforcement. See, she's immensely short sighted when
it comes to the problem of illegal immigration, and she's
utterly no shame in the fact that she's wrong. Facts
(12:30):
be damned. She's got an ideology to push. So Salazar
runs for Congress in twenty eighteen, and that interview with
cash Show that I mentioned at the top of the show,
it comes back to haunt her. Democrats say she was
overly complementary to cashtro showing him too much respect, using
terms in Spanish that show dignity to this communist dictator
that murdered so many people. She goes on to lose
(12:52):
that race, but wins in twenty twenty when Trump flips
her district, and her seat was always a historically a
seat that historically elected a Republican to Congress but voted
for a president Democrat for president. In twenty sixteen, Hillary
Clinton wins her seat by seventeen points, but in twenty
twenty Trump manages to flip it by less than half
(13:13):
a point, and in twenty twenty four, he goes on
to Winny by fifteen points. This immense growth in support
among the Latin American community, in the immigrant community. By
the way, I remember twenty twenty four, he can'spaigns on
mass deportation.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It's a huge swing, and Trump wins. She wins on
Trump's cotails.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
By twenty twenty four, Salozar wins her reelection by twenty points.
She serves in Congress now from twenty twenty two to
this year. She's running for reelection and guess what her
constant prediction and warning is to Republicans. If you don't
support amnesty, you're going to lose the next election. She
introduces the Dignity Act. This Dignity Act was first introduced
(13:51):
in February eighth, twenty twenty two, and she said, guess what,
it's a golden time to win over the Latino vote,
and if they didn't do it, they would lose the
next election. She predicts this every single year. She's like
that crazy person you see on the street saying the
sky is falling or the end is near.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This was, by the way, in the middle of the
Biden border crisis, Salosar was saying, we need to pass
mass legalization of tens of millions of illegal immigrants during
a border crisis. It would have signaled to them, keep coming,
because we will give you citizenship. In twenty twenty four,
she pushed against Congressmanship Roy's border protection bill, teaming up
(14:31):
with now disgraced Congressman who just lost his primary Tony
Gonzalez to push back against the bill.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean birds of a feather.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
In June of that year, Salozard's team starts pedelling this
story that it was utterly always nonsense that she was
in the running for Trump's VP. They pulled cold water
on that pretty quickly. However, she uses a constant press
cycle to elevate herself, elevate her name, settus, and elevate
her pet issue and the c for ely aliens. She
(15:01):
was always committed to one thing, and one thing, only,
passing the Dignity Act, saying that if Republicans didn't get
behind legalization, they were going to lose in twenty twenty four.
Of course that also didn't happen, like so many things
Salazar says. But here's what Salasar is doing, and she's
doing it brilliantly. Every year she says, Republicans pass amnesty
(15:21):
or you're going to lose. That has been the case
for the last four years. But if you keep saying it,
eventually it will happen. Eventually Republicans will lose an election,
like eventually Democrats will lose an election. That's just the
nature of politics. And eventually she can say that she
was right, that her prediction was right, even though it
has nothing to do with amnesty. It's about the economy.
(15:41):
I've talked about that a million times in this podcast.
But she'll claim it was amnesty and the media will
pick up and say, oh, look, there was a swing
among Latinos and must be because Salazar was correct as
if she has never said this in the past when
it hasn't been proven correctly, it doesn't matter if the
reason is not the same. She's no one's keeping score
(16:02):
of what she's saying and what she's doing. They're just
gonna detail the last time that she said it. So
if Republicans lose the House and or the Senate in
the fall, she's going to make the claim it's because
they didn't support amnesty. And I'm sure some Republicans and
especially a lot of the people in the media will
believe her. Okay, let's go to the Dignity Act coming
(16:22):
up next. Okay, now that we know about Maria Elvira Salazar,
she's a woman who, even before being elected to Congress,
was talking about the need to defend and support illegal immigrants.
She called them more American than Americans. She says that
they are the people that are in the most need
in the United States, that we should be greating special privileges.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
She opposed building a porter wall.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
She wanted to send taxpayer dollars to corrupt countries in
Central and South America to get them to stop sending
migrants to the United States. But what is her bill,
the Dignity, or as is actually written in Congress, the Dignidad,
which is a Spanish version of dignity.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
They are not.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They are completely unblatant about who this is for. What
does this bill actually do? By the way, this bill
has twenty Republican co sponsors in the House, many of
whom come from very safe for publican districts that have
a very small illegal alien population, a very small Hispanic population.
So why are they supporting this bill. We'll go into
that in one second. But here's the bill in section
(17:24):
so you know which section does which thing. Section twenty
three oh three, Part D prohibits DHS from deporting any
illegals who simply apply for the Dignity program. So by
even applying, even if it turns out they're not eligible,
they would be prevented from deportation while their status is
being handling by DHS. So regardless of their criminal background,
regardless of how long they've been in this country. You know,
(17:46):
if they have an issue that would wade them from
being an applicant, it doesn't matter. They're protected so long
as they apply for the digniac and they can kick
around the country for possibly a couple of years while
that is all sorted out and protects more final aliens.
Section fifteen h two of the bill opens the floodgates
to asylum seekers by decreasing the processing times and mandates
(18:09):
DHS ensures contract with legal counsel. In other words, they're
going to illegal aliens applying for asylum get free lawyers
that when I say free, I mean taxpayer funded American
tax dollars. So not only can an the legal alien
come here and declare asylum. And I want to make
it very clear, a majority of people who declare asylum
(18:31):
in the United States are deny their asylum cases. It's
over ninety percent now. But even during the Biden administration,
which obviously was very liberal, a majority of asylum seekers
were denied asylum. They didn't have actually any legal right
or any legal claim to asylum they when they applied
for it. Under this bill, the American taxpayer will be
(18:54):
funding their entire legal case while they're here. Think of
how many people applied for asylum under the Biden administration.
Another Democrat president comes in, think about how many more
will apply for asylum. This is potentially millions, if not
tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to an ever increasing
trove of people from the Third World to come here
(19:16):
and say they need to get asylum because they have
some kind of claim even when they don't. And the
thing what asylum is if you are denied asylum, you
could simply apply again. You could petition the court to
apply again. You have to do within thirty days of
a judge's decision. This could break up hundreds of thousands
of dollars per illegal alien as they keep doing this,
(19:37):
it's crazy. Section thirty two oh two more than doubles
the per country immigrant visa cap. So what this means
is so every country that we have country caps for
every country for most work visas H one BH two A.
And the way it works is once a country hits
their country cap and other countries don't, those countries applications
(19:59):
are together and disperse for people that for countries that
have more applicants than they have people in the country cap.
This is very true for India and China, especially because
obviously it's the largest countries, this would double the amount
of people applying. Now, I want to make it clear
some visas, some work visas have no caps on them.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
So farm visas.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
For example, whenever you hear farmers say we can't get
enough workers, that is completely untrue. There is unlimited amount
of farm workers that can apply for a visa in
this country. What they're complaining about is that they don't
have enough illegal alien farm worker rather than legal because
legal aliens who work on farms have to have certain protections,
and farmers just want to, you know, absolutely get illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Aliens where they don't have to pay them as much.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I want to protect them, don't have to put you know,
put safe work environments, give them transportation, all the rest
of it. We give more than a million legal work
visas per year. Under the cells our bill, we would
be getting more than two million, two million work visas
per year.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Gee, I'm so glad there's not a housing.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Shortage right now or an ai revolution that's putting workers,
you know, in a precarious situation where they can't get
a job. What makes this section even more insane is
the fact that family members of those applicants do not
count towards the cap. So it's two million workers and
potentially four or five million people. If you think the
(21:29):
housing shortage is bad, now, wait, Salazar is going to
make it so much worse. And this is especially true
for white collar workers. There's a lot of emphasis on
white collar workers, the people whose jobs are the most
in trouble from the Ai Revolution. This is why a
lot of congressmen who will have very few Hispanics, very
(21:50):
few illegal alliance in their district, have signed on to
this bill. Why because the donors want it so badly,
because they get tons of cheap labor and their visa
is staple to their job. In other words, they can't
look for a better position. The only way they can
stay in this country is if they continue to work
at the job, even if the job has a bad
(22:11):
work environment or mistreats them, or any of the other
stuff that where where employers can sometimes abuse workers, adding
tons of people to compete for the same jobs, overcrowding
institutions like schools, taking up some vital resources. There is
no special waivers in this application off of the public
charge or preventing them from getting social services like education
(22:35):
or to children's social services, or obviously, if they have
a child in America, that child will then be app
eligible for every type of welfare program under the sun.
It's a permanent and irreversible way to transform the United States.
Next section, section thirty one to twelve allows the next
Democratic Attorney general to terminate removal proceedings against illegal aliens
(23:00):
have a family member as a US citizen. Now, when
Democrats come into office, they and this is not just true,
Democrats pushed it as well, but they can just ignore
parts of the law. They just don't enforce parts of
the law. That is really the problem of our illegal
immigration system. Almost everything when it comes to illegal immigration
can be solved if we enforce the law.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Obviously Trump solved it. The laws are all written.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
In the nineties, Clinton signed a treasure trove of laws
allowing the president to enforce immigration law. So sorry to
do immigration law in a way that would stop illegals
crossing the border. It's not a question for the laws
are written. It's a question if they're inforced. There's a
few places where Congress should get involved, but mostly it's
on the president. Rarely to Democratic attorney generals and presidents
(23:47):
get involved where they stop removal proceedings in the middle
of them. Despite the leg they may ignore the law
to do stop doing new ones, but they won't actually
get involved in stopping removal proceedings. This goes one step further,
allowing Democrats to wholeheartedly not only stop new enforcement, but
actually canceled all in the old enforcement. And if they
(24:10):
have a minor crime, let's say identity theft. Let's say
they stole your grandma social Security number and they've destroyed
her credit rating, or stole your childs or yours, they
would it's not considered a violent crime. They would have
every right to allow those people in the country and
stop their deportation proceedings. Okay, last section I want to
talk about. Section fifteen. Sixteen mandates that student loan forgiveness
(24:34):
for immigration lawyers who assist illegal aliens in their application
for the Dignity Act. So if you're a lawyer and
you assist an illegal alien to come into this country
illegally and get an apply for the waiver, you get
seventy five percent of your college student loan paid by
the taxpayer. It also prevents allegations of gang membership in
(24:57):
state and federal databases from being used to determine if
someone is eligible for the amnesty program, because she's saying,
oh no, you're if you have a criminal record, you
can't get this application. Well, they can't even search the
state gang databases to see if they're possibly a gang member.
This is not only an amnesty program. It is an
(25:19):
assault on the American taxpayer, the American worker, and it
will be the end of the Republican Party. I know
they're saying that, you know they they won't get the vote.
These illegal aliens won't get the vote. I promise you
they will get the vote. Congressman Mike Lawler was on
the Laura Ingram Show last week saying that Republicans should
pass this bill because if they don't, when Democrats get
(25:41):
in office, they're going to have their own amnesty bill,
which will be far worser and won't have any enforcement
versus the current Dignity Act, which has some kind of
fake enforcements. Let's go to that clip.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
What the Democrats will do if they get complete control
of Congress and the White House, They're going to end
the filibuster and they are going to pass a blanket
amnesty bill. That's the fundamental challenge here. What we are
trying to do is say if you came under the
Biden administration, you don't qualify. If you have committed a crime,
you don't qualify. And here's the thing about legislation, Laura,
(26:14):
you understand that's better than most.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I love that, Laura, because it's totally not true. And
here's what Lawa and Salas are and all the rest
of them are not saying. If Democrats win and get
full power, they're just one. They're not going to enforce
any new news supposed and enforcement measures in this bill,
like they don't enforce the current law assigned by Bill
Clinton in the nineties. And to grant the right to
(26:39):
vote for all these people who are here legally and
they won't be. They won't be the right to vote.
They'll get the right to work. They will do that anyway.
It's a completely nonsensical argument that Lawler's making. He's saying,
you know, support the Republican amnesty and so the Democratic amnesty,
and they can't do it when they can do it,
and the Republican amnesty is the Democratic embassy. That's why
(27:00):
they have twenty Democrats joining them in that amnesty. You know,
they say that builds an end illegal immigration, and that's
kind of true because all it means.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Is all the illegals will be legal.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
It's not like we're gonna get anything it's just it's
just changing the name of the paperwork. And when Salazar
and lawl Are have been asked, how is DHS going
to deal with this process, they say, DHS will you know,
they'll deal with it.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
They'll make the determination.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
USCIS, which deals with citizenship status and they deal with
VIZA are totally understaff.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
They have been forever. They're overworked.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
If they do this Dignity Act, the USCIS will have
to process over six thousand people per day.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Then that's a conservative estimate. There is no way, there
is no way.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
This is probably going to be done. It's too large,
it's too many people. It goes on forever. It's completely reckless.
There's no cap by the way, in the number of
illegals that can be in this process. Its not like
they're saying, oh, it's fifteen million people or ten million people.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
It can be thirty million people, it could be forty
million people. There's no limitation at all.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And as I said over and over again in the
case of the Reagan Amnesty, for fifteen years after the
Reaganasty was signed, liberal judges were waiving all the all
the regulations. They were waving whether or not someone could
get the Reagan amnesty that was happening till two thousand
and two.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
This could go on easily till twenty forty easily.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I cannot overstate how much the American taxpayer is being
screwed by Maria Alvira Salazar. And I want to take
a second and read the names of her co sponsors
of this bill. And if you live in their district,
you need to call their office and tell them that
you will not.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Be voting for them.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You'll vote third party, you'll vote Democrat, you won't vote
you'll skip the line, whatever. I don't care if their
district is going to go to a Democrat, it doesn't matter.
But they need to know that their own voters are
pissed with them. And if you have, if you live
in a Republican district and your congressman has not co sponsored,
call them until hell them don't support the bill that
you're opposed to it. The number for the switch board,
(29:04):
by the way, is two O two two two four
three one two to one.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That's two O two two two four three one two one.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
If we shut down the switchboard because we overloaded the
congressional switch board, it will send a message. Okay, here
are the twenty Republicans who have co sponsored this terrible bill, obviously,
Maria Salazar in Florida twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That's Miami.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Mike Lawler, who represents Rockland in parts of Westchester County.
That's New York seventeen. David Baldeo from California's twenty second district.
That's the Central Valley of California. Dan Newhouse of Washington State.
He's retiring. You don't have to call him.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Mike Kelly.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
He represents all of Western Pa from Erie to Pittsburgh.
Brian Fitzpatrick represents Bucks County in Pennsylvania's first district. Gabe
Evans is in the suburbs of Denver in Colorado's eighth district.
Marlon Stutsman, he represents North East Indiana and Indiana's third.
Don Bacon also retiring from Omaha. You don't have to
(30:00):
call him. Young Kim from District forty. She has a serious,
serious primary challenge California District forty's and her opponent is
not supporting the amnes the Dignity Act as of right now.
Mario Diaz Balart Folor out of twenty six. James Bard
Indiana four. That's the northwest part of Indianapolis, the subs
(30:20):
of Indianapolis. Lloyd Smucker, Pa. Eleven that's Lancaster County to
Amish Country. Nick Lolota, he represents New York one in
Suffolk County, New York. Monica de la Cruz from California's
fifteenth with the border of Mexico. Neil Dunn from Florida second.
That's the Panhandle of Florida. Jennifer Kiggins Virginia tow that's
the suburbs of Virginia. Zachary Nunn, who represents the southwest
(30:44):
of Iowa. A lot those places do not have large
illegal alien populations or large Hispanic populations. They are in
it for the business community who want cheap labor and
to screw over the American taxpayer and the American worker.
That's why they're in it. They're out to stab them
in the back. After running and many times running with
(31:05):
President Trump on what he said for mass deportations, I'm
very annoyed about this. I have immigrations the issue that
made me a Republican. It absolutely did. I when I
was eighteen years old and easily influenced and they were
act war was going on. I became a Republican because
I thought that the words around supporting illegal immigration over
American citizens was delusional and insane, and I became a
(31:25):
Republican because of that, and I thought we really had
turned a corner with Trump, especially Trump in twenty twenty four,
and the fact that these twenty Republicans are going with
going forward with it. I cannot imagine how much horse
is going to get once Trump leaves the White House.
I'm sure they want to return to the Bush, Jase.
I absolutely believe it. So I will be having a
(31:46):
special announcement on my social media coming.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Where I will talk about how I'm going to try
to fight against these Republicans supporting amnesty and any Republican
supporting amnesty, and I will talk about that on the
show on ends day. Check it out on my social
media accounts, so especially my Twitter or ex so at
Ryan Gardoski. Okay, next up, ask me anything. First question
(32:12):
up comes from David. He says, Hey, Ryan, big fan
of the show. In your work, you do. Every millennial
and gen Z friend of mine is not in favor
of the current Iran war, but all the boomers I
know like it. In two thousand and seven, the book
The Israel Lobby was released, which criticized the outside impact
of Israel's interest in the US forum policy and decision making.
Looking at the discrepancy of opinion in regard to the
(32:33):
current Middle East conflict among different demographics. Would you describe
as the cause or imperatives of the shift opinions towards
US Israel relations. Have people finally caught up with Pap
Buchanan what he said in the nineties during the First
Goal War. There are only two groups that are being
the drums for war in the Middle East, Israel and
the defense Israel's defense ministry and the amen corner of
(32:54):
the United States. That is a very complicated question. Thank
you for it. The book The Israel Lobby. I bought
it and then never read it. It's on my bookshelf.
It's one of those many books that I have that
I'm like, oh, I'm going to get to this when
I have free time. And now I'm like, can I
get to read a single article in a day? That
would be great? What I think on the democrats side,
let's talk with the democrats, Ie, why it is shift
(33:16):
in Israel happened partially because I mean, this is a
very low IQ level intellect that the left is engaged in.
But I'm not surprised. The left is a very basic
understanding of people who are perpetrators of conflict, people who
are victims of conflict, people who are pressed, and people
who are pressers. They view and they view everything through
(33:39):
racial terms, and they see Israelis as being white and
Palastins as being brown, and in their heads, brown people
are always oppressed against white people. That's the guttural baseline level.
There's anti Semitism sprinkled in, especially among immigrant classes, but
that is the guttural baseline LIB white, LIB college educated level.
(33:59):
On the Republicans on the right, I think there's multiple things,
and this could be true for some people the left,
but it's mostly on the right. One, I think that
we are war. We were a country, and Iraq has
totally tainted any kind of military intervention that there will
be in this country for a generation. Iraq was such
(34:20):
an ongoing disaster and quagmire.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Two.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I think that the historic context of why Israel is
an important nation, or why Israel was created after World
War Two is lost on younger people. We are as
far away from World War Two as you know World
War Two was from the Civil War. It'd be like
(34:44):
explaining the Civil War to somebody born in nineteen forty
one as if it was as important as you know,
what happened yesterday. When as time goes on, as history changes,
people forget and people don't have a memory of it,
and it doesn't mean as much to them, and it
just doesn't mean as much to them. And then thirdly,
(35:06):
I think that religiosity has changed and Christian Zionism is
not what it used to be, and the as the
Republican Party has grown has changed, and as Trump has expanded.
Of course with his election victory, there are just a
smaller pool of Christian Zionists in the Republican Party, and
(35:27):
even among the American Evelan jelgu class there are less
that are Christian Zionists to begin with. So I think
you have all three things happening. And I think for
a lot of Jews in America who are friends of
mine and I've spoken them about this, a lot of
them who were liberal for a very long time, I
think they will go about to October seventh and saw
the protests in New York City, because people need to
(35:48):
remember the anti Israel protests started the day after October
seventh in this country, there were still Jews bleeding out
in Israel when when they were protesting, is Israel not
done a single thing. Yet there are just some American
leftists and recent immigrants who want to see dead Jews.
There's no other actual explanation for why you would why
(36:11):
you would protest the country that just been attacked, like
October seventh was an attack. That being said, I think
that I I think that there is that that guttural reaction,
that guttural instinct woke a lot of American Jews minds
up and said, wow, we've made friends with all the
wrong people because for generations, a lot of American Jews,
liberal American Jews were told of the left's your friend,
(36:34):
and they realize, wow, they're really really not. And my
the thing that I really wish we could have a comprehensive,
real conversation around Israel that wasn't so so, I don't
know demonic at times, it's it's there is a line
between having a real conversation and being anti Semitic, and
(36:55):
when you dehumanize another person, you are being anti Semitic.
And a lot of people on the right, are dehumanizing them,
They're making them less than people. And that's where I
have an absolute hard line. You cannot I will not
broach that. You will not talk about another person, regardless
of their religion or their race, whatever, like they're not human.
We all have a soul for a reason. So that's
(37:18):
just I think that's why the Israel conversation has changed.
It's a very touchy topic. I feel a lot for
American Jews. I have a lot of friends who are Jewish,
and there is things I disagree with that I would
love to have a conversation about. I just don't feel
like one I'm the most informant person in the world,
and two I don't need a pilon. I just don't
need a pilon right now. We could take a breath
(37:39):
and then have serious conversations. And there's a lot also
I want to learn before I have a serious conversation.
I don't like to come to the table uninformed. Okay,
next question comes from Trevor. Thank you for that question.
By the way, question comes from Trevor. He wrote to
me before he said, I didn't mention to you last time.
I'm from Michigan. Thanks for responding. My email question about amnesty.
Don't worry. I don't put you in the same catat
(38:00):
as the black pillars by any mean, thank you.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm not a black pillar. I'm positive.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I was referring to the people that's been all day,
every day dunking on Israel as though they have nothing
else happening in the world, and then complain that they're
not odd to.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Talk about Israel. That is so true.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
People who say when I'll talk about Israel can never
shut up about it, even though literally no one is
censoring them, and they make millions of dollars doing it.
I do not make millions of dollars doing this. Hopefully
one day this is show grows. Give me a five
star review, everybody. Since you've been bringing up the census
a lot recently, I was wondering if you know whether
or not there are plans for red states to run
ad campaigns to encourage residents to fill out the census.
(38:37):
I read an article back saying that in the twenty
twenty census, Blue states should have lost more electoral College votes,
and they did, and Red state should have gained more
than they did, but the reason didn't happen because Blues
State's dumped a ton of money and ad campaigns encouraging
the residents to fill the census. That's part of the reason.
Part of the reason. Part of the reason was a
census miscalculation. It was a lot of seeds. I mean,
(38:58):
it wasn't a hundred seats. It was seats though it
was maybe like four or five that there were miscalculation.
And I don't know why Trump doesn't rede the census
or do a mid cycle census. I don't know if
that's even legal or possible, but it's not really being floated.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I think that there are certain governors.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
That absolutely will Texas has a huge opportunity to grow
to be forty four to forty five electoral college votes.
I mean, it might might be the case where Texas
and California are tied in the next census. I don't
know if it's possible as far as electoral college votes
(39:37):
and seats go. I could see Texas doing that, I
could see Florida doing that. I could see South Carolina
that may gain a seat because there's some people moving there.
North Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Utah. I known the states that
are likely to gain seats. I absolutely could see them
trying to do that because they have a lot of
political capital gain in this time. Those of the states are
(39:58):
most likely the seat by the way dish gain in
red states Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I think they'll all do some kind of campaign. Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Next question from Joseph Hey, Ryan, I was wondering, what
are your thoughts of Pam Bondi being fired? Do you
think her placement will be much better? Keep up the
great work. Yeah, I don't know Pam Bondy. I have
friends who've known her. I have friends who talked to her.
I think that she mishandled the whole Epstein file so
poorly she should have been fired for that alone. She
(40:32):
was allegedly fired for leak ink, but I think she
should have been fired for the miss handling of the
Epstein files because she made it a conversation starter. Again,
it wasn't in the mainstream conversation until she handled those
binders to those influencers, And for that alone, I think
she should have been fired. And she did it without
It wasn't a meeting on Epstein. I've talked to us
where it was a meeting with influences about what the
administration is doing, and she brought these binders to it
(40:53):
and gave it to them, and it was very embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Became the entire media narrative media story. Okay.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Last question comes from about I don't know who are
replacement is, so I don't know how they're going to do.
Last question comes from Mike Ryan. Per usual, your show
is highly entertaining and equally informative. Thank you, Mike. I try.
I hope squawk Box has you on their show during
the midterm election cycle. I would love to be on
Squawkbox now. Regarding who the Democrats are going to put
their full support behind, my gut tells me it's going
to be Wes Moore. His name has been percolating in
(41:23):
the party for a while now, and I think that
the Houdini magic trick to the back door any meaningful
discourse on his lying about his background and earning a
bronze star. Yeah, I would think that too, But the
Baltimore news media is really going after him in a
way that you usually don't see for Democrats, like an
oddly specific The Maryland Democrat liberal media has been going
(41:43):
after Wes Moore. My other two nominees, I think our
potential are either Mark Kelly or Andy Basheer. Now I
haven't heard much reguarding Bashir, but I heard all his
political pundits throw his name aro on the contenders. He's
so boring. I don't think it's going to be him.
They will one thousand percent. They will not let Kamala
run again. He said, what are your thoughts on the
Democratic nominee? Kamala actually went to an event last week
(42:05):
and they were chanting run. Here's the thing, and I've
said this over and over again. If they allow a
state like Nevada, New Hampshire and Iowa to be the
first state to vote, which they don't know what the
calendar will be at, progressive can be the nominee. If
South Carolina goes first, then the entire vote of the
(42:26):
next Democratic nominee will be decided upon by black older women.
That is the majority of the vote in these deep
southern states still except for like Florida, I think, but
besides that, it's mostly black, black older women that decided
the Democratic nominee for president. They put Bill Clinton in,
they put Barack Obama in, they put they nominated, they
(42:47):
supported all these people. I think the only one who
got the nomination without their support initially was John Kerry.
I'm okay, Well that turned out. They got Joe Biden.
They gave him his big pushback so after being down
in the polls. So I think that a lot depends
on the calendar. Until we know the calendar of what
states go first. If it's South Carolina, it's a signal
(43:10):
from the Democratic Party that they want an establishment centrist
who has support from the black community. If it's Iowa,
New Hampshire, Nevada, it's a wild card. It's a much
different electorate. Pay attention to the calendar. We can't know
until we have the calendar. Could it become I wouldn't
say no. I really wouldn't say no. If she is
(43:31):
the support of the black community. If she runs there
and says that, I wouldn't say no. I don't know,
but I want to see who the calendar is. If
it's like Iowa first, I kind of doubt that it's
going to be her, but it definitely opens with the
door to like a peeple, to judge or an AOC
or somebody. Andy Basheer is so intolerably boring. I just
don't see how he's going to do it. So anyway,
that's this episode. I will see you guys on Wednesday.
