Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Brian Munt Show, and thank you for listening.
It's time for today's top three takeaways. Helpful, useful, repeatable.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I hope your.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Morning is off to a nice start. And as we
get going today have immigration that is in focus with
a lot of what we're going to be talking about,
but before we get there, just kind of like an overview.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
President Trump now been on the job forever six months.
His administration has been talking up his achievements and what
he thinks he has been successful. With Fox's Alexandria Hoff, the.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
White House is highlighting its economic accomplishments, extending tax cuts
that we're set to expire, reducing taxpayer spending, boosting the
jobs market and energy production. The markets set a record high,
more proof, according to the administration, that the country has
been set on the right track. The White House says
record low border crossings is certainly a feat to be celebrated.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And whether you are a fan of the President's policies
or not so much, there's no mistake. And the man's
been busy, like historically busy. As I'd broken out he
had been as successful in accomplishing his agenda quickly the
second most efficient in accomplishing his stated agenda, only to
(01:19):
FDR in American history. So pretty remarkable the speed with
which he has worked. Again, whether you happen to like
the policy or not. So on that note, so we
get looking at the immigration piece, which has been, of
course a huge focus and continues to be here in
South Florida. So we talked about Alligator Alcatraz and other things,
(01:41):
but top takeaway for you today is a blue state
ice rates. And I'll often talked about the definition of insanity.
You know, we will sit there and go, how is
it that? Well, what do we expect? Right? You know,
the definition of insanity expecting things to change things the
same way. And that came together this past weekend in
(02:04):
New York City. It was on Monday that Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Nome had this to say following the weekend
attempted robbery that involved a previously deported a legal immigrant
who was processed allowed back in any way by the
Biden administration by Border patrol in twenty twenty three, quoting
(02:27):
Christy yesterday, there's absolutely zero reason that someone who was
scum of the earth like this should be running loose
on the streets of New York City. So, yeah, a
little earth scum conversation someone who had been deported, someone
who had been allowed back in by the Biden administration.
(02:48):
It really is remarkable. It gives you an idea of
just the extent to which pretty much anybody who just
went to a sam would get into this country and
get whatever they wanted at that point. Just Titi's be remarkable.
And again, if you missed my recent update on this,
the research of people who were seeking asylum that were
processed the one point three million cases that were heard
(03:10):
last year, eighty eight percent turned out to be nothing
more than illegal immigrants. So eighty eight percent of asylum
claims that had made it through the full legal process
were found to be bogus most recently so overwhelmingly all
of these people are just illegal immigrants. But again, this instance,
it's doubly special because you're talking about somebody with a
(03:30):
criminal record who had been deported but then was allowed
back in and allowed to seek asylum under the prior
administration anyway. And but wait, there's more, because this actor
not only was he granted access into the country in
twenty twenty three, not only did we send him to
(03:51):
New York City and allow him to stay places at
taxpayer expense. But he had been arrested four times in
New York City between his entrants again in twenty twenty
three and what transpired this weekend. Each time New York
City just released him back out, never was made to
(04:15):
be held accountable for any of the arrests that he had.
And again, this is a guy with the prior criminal
record preceding that. As None went on to say, he
was arrested four different times in New York City, and
because of the mayor's policies and sanctuary city policies, was
released back to do harm to people and to individuals
living in this city. And the failed lawlessness of both
(04:38):
the Biden administration and that of New York City is
why an off duty ice officer was shot in the
arm and then the face while attempting to defend against
a robbery attempt to buy said illegal immigrant and also
a second illegal immigrant that he had teemed with. This
prompted Nome to add, I'm calling on every single mayor
and sanctuary city and sanctuary governor to change their policies
(05:03):
and to change their tactics right now. Their job is
taken oath to protect the public, protect families that are
out there every single day trying to provide for each
other and to try to live the American dream, and
they want to do so safely in their own communities.
How many more lives will it take? How many more
people have to be hurt and victimized before we have
(05:23):
public safety? And look, that's a good question, and it's
one of the things that has always frustrated me so
much about this issue. Who is it that has hurt
most by these kinds of policies? You know, it often
is those who are of the most vulnerable situations, those
of the lowest socio economic means, those that are pushed
(05:45):
out by lack of affordable housing, those that are in
higher crime areas. Anyway, all these different things, and it
leads us to recidivism rates. This is something that I
drilled down a bit on yesterday, something I'm often asked about.
So I'm going to walk you through a couple different
recidivism rates. But first about Homeland Security Secretary Christy Now,
(06:07):
she also added this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
What did we think was going to happen from policies
like that? When you take a dangerous individual and you
allow them to never face any consequences for the acts
that they're perpetuating against the public.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Right, I mean, how is it they can just go
committing crime after crime after crime after crime, nothing ever
happens to you. What's the lesson learned? That's the definition
of insanity.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Piece.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It just boggles the mind that there are leaders and
communities that allow this stuff to happen. So here's the
first thing to consider conversationally, just recidivism rates generally convicted criminals,
not talking about those that are illegally in this country.
Just your typical convicted felon. What is that recidivism rate?
(06:52):
What comes to mind? And the rate is seventy seven percent.
Seventy seven percent. What's even more remarkable about that number,
I think is these are just the ones that are
apprehended again. Doesn't mean that only seventy seven percent go
on to commit future crimes after being released. It's just
seventy seven percent that are caught again. That big time number.
(07:13):
And so yeah, I mean, there's been kind of like
that old bad joke about correctional facilities. Why do we
call them correctional facilities? I mean, it's kind of a
good question doesn't seem like they're really correcting much of anything, doesn't.
But anyway, the recidivism rate is even higher for those
that are under twenty four. And I suppose some of
that is just age and greater opportunity as well. I mean,
(07:33):
the younger you are, the for recidivism rates are already
you know, as high as they are, and it just
gives you more opportunity to do things later on. But
the recidivism rate for those under twenty four convicted criminals
is eighty four percent. Eighty four And so then you
put this whole thing together, and what do you think
the recidivism rate is, you know, the definition of insanity
(07:55):
piece for these illegal immigrants. The recidivism rate for an
illegal immigrant under the age of twenty five four who's
been deported once, arrested four times, but has never once
been held accountable for crimes. And so that's where we
are with situations like what just played out in New
York and as an assigne while reviewing recidivism rates, one
thing that was particularly interesting. You have forty three states
(08:17):
that report the data, so not all fifty are reporting,
but among the forty three that do, Florida was tied
with the third lowest recidivism rate in the country, so
that was kind of good news that way. Interestingly, and
not coincidentally, the four states with the lowest recidivism rates,
(08:38):
you have Virginia with the lowest, second lowest is West Virginia,
and then you have Florida and South Carolina tied for
the third lowest vercidivism rates. You might notice a trend
if you know your state politics. They all are currently
red states that have aggressively enforced the law. So maybe
just maybe there's something to actually enforce. We're seeing the
(09:00):
law aggressively and not having high recidivism rates. I mean,
if you have people that are criminals and they're not
allowed to victimize people, then yeah, probably gonna have fewer,
fewer problems, right, So, no wonder sanctuary states, sanctuary cities
with no cash bail policies, whatever else going on, just
(09:24):
continue to see the problems they see, which leads me
to my third takeaway today the future of the country,
and well, you have the Trump administration that is bent
on continuing to do their work in some of the
most difficult sanctuary cities and states across the country. Here is,
borders are Tom Homan. He was with Sean Hannity last night.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
We're gonna flood the neighborhoods with officers. We're gonna flood
work site enforcements. If they don't give us access to
the bad guy in Rikers Island or at the precincts,
then we'll go to the neighborhood and find them.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah. So the future of the entry here, the latest
estiment show fifty seven percent fifty seven percent of illegal
immigrants are in Blue states despite there only being twenty
three Blue states by way of leadership at the state level.
So in other words, as it pertains to the matter
(10:18):
of illegal immigration, you have fifty seven percent the problem
and forty six percent of the territory. It's a trend
that also appears to have been growing recently since states
like Florida really started to get serious and cracking down
on illegal immigration. So in other words, not only is
it obviously necessary for is to crackdown in meccas of
(10:41):
illegal immigration like California, Colorado, Illinois, New York in order
to address the larger problems, but there also is another
really significant issue that can crop up here. In about
five years, as it pertains the future of congressional seats
and the electoral College. For example, California is likely illegal
(11:01):
immigrant population. The current estimate for the illegal immigrant population
is around three million, now three million just in California.
So the illegal immigrant population in California is now larger
than the total populations of eighteen states. I mean, that's
(11:22):
just backcraf crazy when you think about it. So due
to the census counting, which is of total persons, not
legal citizens, So in other words, illegal immigrants could account
towards the overall census. The record amount of illegal immigration
into this country by the Biden administration will lead to
(11:43):
a future generation of improper congressional representation and influence in
the electoral College if left unchecked as well, you have
seven hundred and sixty nine thousand people per congressional representative
in this country right now. Like whoever it is represents you,
you're one of seven hundred and sixty nine thousand people
that is represented by them. That means California's illegal immigrant
(12:05):
population alone, if left unchecked, would eventually lead to four
more congressional seats than California deserves and also four more
electoral College votes than the state deserves. Just that one
state with total illegal immigration considered across the country, remember
that whole blue state split versus a number of blue states.
(12:27):
You have twenty four percent more influence net that would
be going based upon where illegal immigrants are to those
states rather than if we had immigration policy properly enforced.
And by the way, that equals that twenty four percent
split equals the same margin that I just mentioned for
California alone. It equals four more congressional seats, four more
(12:50):
electoral College votes that would go towards Blue states. Then
should with again proper policy, so that would be enough
in real time, like right now, if that was in place,
it'd be enough to flip control of Congress to Democrats
from Republicans, and it also in the electoral College would
(13:11):
be enough that would have changed the outcome of three
prior presidential elections. So combating the illegal immigration crisis today, Yeah,
it's important for Florida paramount in states like New York
and California, but actually the future of the country can
literally be decided by people who are not legally in it.
It's kind of the craziest thing to think about. It's
an overarching reason why President Trump's deportation plans are important
(13:36):
and also just kind of the heat. As I illustrated recently,
we're seeing what appears to be a self deportation rate
that is running about ten to one what the actual
deportation rate is like with the Feds taking people out
of this country. So that's why the Blue state raids
will remain in focus. It's not only where the majority
of the problem is. It's also much bigger if you
(13:58):
take a look at the long term implications of all this.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
This is house call for health. Just when you thought
you were up to date on the latest buzzwords for
workplace issues, there's a new one, quiet cracking. The term
refers to having a lack of fulfillment at work, with
a focus on job satisfaction, workloads, or the potential for growth.
Employment experts say the phenomenon is pretty common among American workers.
(14:25):
In fact, a report from the market research company Gallup
found just over half of employees surveyed said they weren't
engaged in their jobs, in seventeen percent when even further
saying they were actively disengaged. The same report found disruptions
caused by the pandemic rather than expectations of any one
age group or a major factor in the prevalence of
(14:47):
quiet cracking in the workplace. The New York Post describes
it this way. Think of a dinner plate with cracks.
It's intact until it finally shatters. For more health news,
