Speaker 1 (00:14):
All right, or one week in, one week of the Donald,
and things are already going incredibly well. I don't know
if you've been paying attention. I've been locked in. I
can't look away. This might be the coolest thing that
has ever happened is the reelection of Donald Trump. And
(00:34):
I truly do mean that he got to work right quick,
wasted absolutely no time, and is just cracking out on
everything that he said he was going to do. Everything
he has not missed, he hasn't. You can tell that
Donald Trump is doing a really good job because of
(00:55):
how angry the people are at him, and by the people,
I mean Democrat, whereas actual legitimate illegal aliens. I just
scrolled across this video of a bunch of illegal aliens
in Dallas, my home state, Texas waiving. I mean, I
don't know if all of these people are illegal aliens.
I'm sure a lot of them aren't. But the sentiment
(01:15):
here is important. These are people that show far more
loyalty to whatever country they came from than the country
they're in. That is a huge problem, a huge problem
regardless of what country it is you come from. If
you have a bunch of people that are more loyal
to a different country than the one they're living in.
(01:36):
That's not a recipe for success. That's how disaster happens.
So take a listen to this audio of this protest
in Dallas. These are again, probably illegal aliens. I'm sure
a portion of them are. I don't know if all
of them are, but at least a decent portion of
these people are illegal aliens that are protesting the deportations
that Trump has been underway with. Take a listen to
(01:57):
what this sounds like, and it continues as such for
(02:19):
quite some time. This is not healthy. They're all waving
like Mexican flags. They're blocking a highway. These aren't Americans.
They might be American citizens, but these are not Americans.
These are people that are far more loyal to another
country than they are to the United States of America.
It is a problem that we have so many people
(02:39):
that are like this in this country. It's a legitimate issue.
So why are these people so upset? That's a legitimate
question we should be asking. Why are these people so upset?
What did Donald Trump do to all of these I
don't know, illegal aliens, maybe first or second generation immigrants,
(03:01):
but it doesn't look like it. Well he did exactly
what he said he was going to do. He got
cracked out on deporting people, just like he was supposed to.
Since Donald Trump has taken office, I want to say,
there has been something along the lines of eight hundred
arrests of illegal aliens. We're already starting to see the
mass deportation flights. It is amazing. It's amazing. They're loading
(03:26):
them up on planes. They're sending them back to the
countries they came from, just like he said he was
going to do. The American people have been getting exactly
what they voted for, and we love it. I love it.
I'm having a great time. I'm having a great time
because even though I look at a video like that
on Twitter of people from another country that are still
loyal to the country they left, coming into our country
(03:49):
and then disrupting our traffic, causing a problem. I mean,
this is by every available definition, a literal invasion. But
I'm still happy watching this video because I see it
on its way out. These are the last desperate gasps
of a failed invasion attempt into the United States of America.
And thank you Donald Trump for putting a stop to it.
(04:12):
And he is putting a stop to it. Make no
mistake about that. He is putting a stop to it.
So I told you we've sent out deportation flights already.
I believe sent two to Mexico. I believe there could
be more, but as far as I'm aware, there was
two that were sent to Mexico. India, the Prime Minister
of India has agreed to take back some eighteen thousand
(04:35):
illegal immigrants from India, and that was expected. Trump and
the Prime Minister of India get along, so that's not
really surprising. But yeah, India agreed to take back eighteen
thousand people. That's not a small number in terms of
the amount of illegal immigration we've had. It's not like
a huge number, but it's nothing to shake a stick egg.
And it shows that Trump has the momentum right. And
(04:57):
this is something that Columbia just found out the hard way.
It's something I imagine Mexico at some point down the
line is going to find out the hard way as well,
just because Claudia Scheinbaum has been so confrontational. So Monday
it comes out that two deportation flights from the US
to Colombia have been stopped. The Colombian president I guess
(05:18):
wouldn't let them land. According to KTRH, there have been
two incidents in which Colombian officials, reportedly on direct orders
from President gustav Petro, have refused to allow flights to
land that were carrying Colombian's home as part of President
Trump's plan to discharge illegal immigrants from the US. In retaliation,
President Trump announced emergency measures, saying, quote, I was just
(05:41):
informed that two repatriation flights from the United States with
a large number of illegal criminals were not allowed to
land in Colombia. This order was given by Columbia's socialist
president Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people.
Trump went on saying that Petro's denial the flights jeopardized
national security and the public safety of the United States.
(06:03):
Now this is where it gets important. Pay attention here,
because we've come up against the problem. Right, somebody, another
leader on the world stage is going toe to toe
with Trump. So how does this play out? This is,
believe it or not, a defining moment in President Trump's
second term. How he responds to this is going to
make a big deal. So how did he respond? He
whacked Columbia over the head with basically everything and the
(06:26):
kitchen sink. So Trump announces these emergency retaliatory measures. Among
those retaliatory measures are a twenty five percent tariff on
all Colombian goods coming into the United States, visa sanctions,
and financial sanctions. And on top of that, Trump said,
you have one week to get your act together or
those twenty five percent tariffs are going to be doubled.
(06:48):
They're going to become fifty percent tariffs. And then within
a couple of hours the Columbian president back down. Now,
I want to specifically point out what Trump did right here.
He used the tariffs how they're meant to be used.
Tariffs are tool, that's all they are. They can be
good or bad depending on how you use them. Just
like a firearm. A firearm is a great thing. If
you misuse it, you cause a lot of problems. A
tariff is the same way. It's essentially a war of attrition.
(07:11):
Can our consumers afford to pay more for whatever product
it is you're trying to get them to buy longer
than you can afford for them to not buy it?
And the answer is almost exclusively always. America is going
to win that war of attrition always. So if Trump
continues to use tariffs like this in this effective manner
to get what he wants, we are going to see
(07:33):
a lot more success during Trump's presidency. I think he will.
He's not a stupid man. I think he knows exactly
what he's doing here, and I look forward to see
him doing it more because America is getting what we want.
They're going back. We're making America great again. Ladies and gentlemen,
We'll be right back. Okay, I really wouldn't be doing
(08:21):
my job if I didn't actually give you some of
the inauguration day highlights, right, because we all know Trump
came in and he immediately got to work, which is great.
But part of the show, part of the fun, is
the process of him actually, you know, coming into the
position of president of the United States. And I gotta
(08:44):
say I was glued to this basically all day. I
had a great time watching the proceedings. And normally I'm
not one for the pageantry of politics. I usually I
usually try to avoid that just because I think that
kind of defeats the whole purpose. Right, The reason for
the United States is we didn't like the pageantry and
(09:06):
the to do and what not of the king and
the British monarchy. And you know, this is all supposed
to be very down to earth. These are all supposed
to be servants of the people. It's not supposed to
be a big to do, right, It's supposed to just
be people doing a job in service of others. However,
I confess I had a great time watching the pageantry
(09:28):
and the fanciness of Donald Trump's inauguration. So I'm gonna
play you some of the highlights because I think there's
a lot here in this kind of first day, this
January twentieth, that was worth taking a look at. It
was worth examining. First, of course, we got to start off,
you know where we started off. Take a listen to
what it sounded like when Donald Trump was actually sworn
(09:50):
into office as the forty seventh President of the United
States of America. This this was frankly pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Please raise your right hand and repea after me, I,
Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear, I, Donald John Trump,
do solemnly swear.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
That I will faithfully execute that.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I will faithfully execute the office of President of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The office of President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And will, to the best of my ability.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And will, to the best of my ability.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Preserve, protect, and defend the zero, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The Constitution of the United States. So help me, God,
So help me God. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So there it is. It's official. He is the president again.
And uh yeah, that was just the beginning. It kicked
off from there and he literally wasted zero time. His
acceptance speech was I'm about to play for you or
is it technically an acceptance speech? His first big speech
that he gave there in the Capitol rotunda was really good.
I've got some of the highlights of that. One of
(10:57):
the things that he did, I think, frankly remarkably well
in this speech is he just absolutely blasted Joe Biden
on virtually every front. It was a bloodbath. Frankly, it
was a bloodbath. He successfully pointed out all of the
flaws in the Biden administration, which is impressive given the
(11:18):
time constraints, like it would take a long time to
do that normally, but he managed to do it in
the time that he had. And one of the key
ways that he did it was pointing out what his
administration is going to be like. And essentially he says
I'm going to be a peacemaker and a unifier, which
doesn't initially sound like a dig at Joe Biden. Right,
(11:41):
It's like, okay that every president says that. Yeah, every
president says that. And Joe Biden tried to make it
his entire personality and his entire administration and he ended
up actually doing none of it. Joe Biden actually had
an incredibly divisive presidency and he had a bunch of
wars breakout during his presidency, which is something that did
(12:02):
not happen under Donald Trump. So this really is I
think a dig at Joe Biden when he says I'm
going to have the legacy as a peacemaker and unifier
that you really wanted, and he said it with Joe
Biden's standing right there. It's beautiful. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
My proudest legacy will be that of a peace maker
and unifier. That's what I want to be, a peace
maker and a unifier. I'm pleased to say that as
of yesterday, one day before I assumed office, the hostages
in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, that's a big deal. He secured that. By the way,
literally the day before was when that initial peace deal
with Israel was announced, which is insane because first of all,
this war started under Joe Biden. Those hostages were taken
under Joe Biden. He's had like two years now to
(13:01):
get them back, and he hasn't not quite two years.
It was what October seventh of twenty twenty three when
this war started, So he's had over a year and
he hasn't been able to get the hostages back. But
Donald Trump swoops in and he gets the hostages back
before he even takes office. I think one of the
(13:22):
main reasons he was able to do that is because
he's made it clear to basically everyone, listen, my administration
is going to be one of strength. We are going
to have a strong United States of America. We're going
to have a strong United States military. A big part
of that is, you know, building up your troops, right.
And a step that he announced to build up those
(13:44):
troops is he's saying, listen, all those people, y'all fired
because they wouldn't take the COVID vaccine. All those soldiers,
Guess what they're coming back under my administration. Take a listen,
to him making that announcement.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
This week, Guy will reinstate any service members who were
unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID
vaccine mandate with full back pain.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All the vets stand up and clap everybody in.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
The audience, and I will sign in order to stop
our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and
social experiments while on duty.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's going to end immediately. That's DEI. He's talking about
DEI right there.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their
soul mission, defeating America's enemies.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And hey, he immediately got to work on all of
that the moment he was signed in. Now that Pete
Hegseth has gotten confirmed as well, the speed is doubling.
It's amazing to see what Donald Trump has been able
to get done a week. All right, one of the
last clips I want to play for you, And by
the way, all of this is on Twitter, and of
course you can go watch the whole speech. I highly
recommend you do that. It was really good. But the
(15:09):
last clip I'm gonna play for you is the clip
where he's talking about going to space, going to Mars,
and I'm gonna play this just because I'm a nerd
about this and I think it's really freaking cool what
Elon Musk is doing with SpaceX and how close humanity
is to Mars, and I just I got giddy about this.
So take a listen to this clip where he's like, Yeah,
we're gonna go to Mars. We're gonna plant the American
(15:30):
flag on Mars. It's pretty great.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Take a listen, and we will pursue our manifest destiny
into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars
and stripes on the planet Mars.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's so funny to watch that to me, just because
Elon Musk has like the biggest ear to ear grin.
He's just so excited and he has every right to
be because listen, this is cool. It really is cool.
I know this sounds silly, but this just feels like
a cool era in the United States, right. It just
feels like we're having fun. That's something that we've missed
out on for quite a long time, is just let's
(16:09):
have some fun in the United States. Let's do cool stuff,
let's achieve things. Can we get back to doing stuff
that nobody has done before? Listen in the seventies we
went to the Moon. I guess it was sixty nine
when the moon landing was, but that's basically the seventies,
so who cares. But yeah, that's something cool and amazing
and something we thought to be impossible before that America
(16:32):
did and we haven't done anything like it since. But
we're gonna get back to doing it because the age
of American exceptionalism is back. We are done coasting off
the achievements of our forefathers. We current day Americans are
gonna do cool fricking stuff again, all right. One of
my favorite moments of the day was as Joe Biden
(16:52):
and Joe Biden were flying off in the helicopter going
off into obscurity, CNN basically just had to sit there
and cry about it. Take listen to what they were
saying about Donald Trump as the camera panned with Joe
Biden flying off into the sunset.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But one thing I was really struck by watching this
is this is the mainstreaming of Donald Trump. Of course,
he was a president before, but you can't dismiss him
as an anomaly anymore. He is as much part of
the fabric of American history as Barack Obama, George Bush,
and you saw it from the tech titans there to
the alifts, celebrities like Carry Underwood to you know, the
CEO of a fashion conglomerate. This is a very different
(17:27):
Donald Trump presidency than the first time he was in office.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And you know what, she couldn't possibly be more correct
this time. We're going in to get stuff done. Donald
Trump realizes the status quote doesn't work, just like we
all do, and he's done dealing with the status quo.
We're going in to make major changes in the United
States of America, and we are going to see some
of the results. We'll start digging into those major changes
(17:52):
in just one second, y'all. All right, let's talk about
(18:21):
some of the executive orders that Trump did, some of
his day one executive orders, because this was really where
the meat and potatoes of the new administration was. And
I think a lot of this is really interesting stuff too,
mainly because this is, you know, a lot of stuff
that we've been pushing really hard in the conservative movement
(18:43):
for for quite some time, and we've been told, for
whatever reason, by a lot of people over a lot
of years that some of this stuff just can't be done.
And then Trump came in on day one and he
did it, which I think is it's pretty telling about
the kind of president that he is. It's very interesting,
to say the least. So one of the first executive
orders that he signed is he withdrew America from a
(19:05):
number of different international agreements, namely the Paris Climate Accords.
These are things that really just did not benefit America
at all, like the Paris Climate Accords. It's like the
name would suggest it's climate agenda stuff. It's essentially useless.
Climate agenda stuff like this does nothing, which is a
point that conservatives have made for years. It's like, hey,
(19:27):
we're spending a lot of money, we're hampering ourselves, and
this is doing nothing. So he drew us out of that,
which he had done before. Biden redid that when he
first got into office, and now Trump has re undone it,
which is back and forth and back and forth and
back and forth. I imagine the next time a Democrat
wins the presidency will be right back in it like
(19:48):
nothing ever happened. But at least for now we're out
of it. That's good. He also did a big hiring
freeze on the federal government. He basically just said, until
you know, we do a big review, we're not to
hire any more people. We don't need more employees right now. Really,
we shouldn't ever undo this. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned,
make the federal government smaller. But as of right now,
(20:10):
he has frozen the hiring for basically the entire federal government,
which is I think great regulatory freeze pending review. Basically
just saying, hey, for the time being, federal agencies, y'all
don't need to be making any new rules or regulations whatsoever.
That's great, always less regulation. Return to in person work.
(20:31):
This one. I don't really have much of an opinion
on either way, only because I really don't care where
people work as long as they're working. If you want
to work from home and you can get your job done,
go for it, knock yourself out. That really doesn't matter
much to me. I think a big problem here, though,
is a lot of government officials were working for home
and they actually can't get their jobs done from home.
(20:53):
They just won't do it. They don't show up to work,
they don't do any work, and then they collect a paycheck.
So I don't know. I really couldn't care less about
that one, but I guess it's God's reasons ending the
weaponization of the federal government. This one says the Attorney General,
in consultation with the heads of all Departments and Agencies
of the United States, shall take appropriate action to review
(21:13):
the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or
criminal enforcement authority of the United States. So that's basically saying, hey,
we're going to go in and we're going to make
sure that none of the agencies that are currently taking
enforcement actions on any of their regulations or laws or
rules or anything. We're going to make sure that none
of that is politically motivated. That's incredibly important. It shouldn't
(21:37):
have to be done, but unfortunately we live in a
day and age in the United States where it does
have to be done. So it's great. It's great that
he's doing that. That's important. Restoring freedom of speech. It's
the policy of the United States to secure the right
of the American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech.
I think that one's aimed more at social media companies
(21:59):
and censer As we all know, the federal government under
the Biden administration worked a lot with Twitter and Facebook,
and I don't know if it was working with them
so much as just bullying them, but whatever the situation was,
there was a lot of censorship going on at social
media companies on behalf of the federal government. So it
wasn't technically the federal government doing it, but the federal
(22:21):
government would ask for this censorship to occur, and then
the social media companies would do it, or they would
imply that they wanted the censorship to occur, and the
social media companies would do it. That's how they kind
of ended around the First Amendment. They said, well, it's
not the government abridging your freedom of speech, this is
just these platforms don't want this content. Yeah, you know
what you did. So that ending is incredibly important and
(22:44):
very good initial recision of harmful executive orders and action.
So that's basically he went in and took just seventy
eight different things that Biden had did and just undid
all of them. That's basically just a giant controls the
or commands, the if you're on mac, basically just undoing
everything Biden did. And then of course he did his
big January sixth pardon. We know that was going to happen.
(23:06):
I don't know why, but I expected that for some
other reason, and there was no reason for this at all.
I literally, just in my head, I had kind of
assumed that he would wait a little bit to do that,
but I understand why he didn't. This was also a
good move. There were a lot of people in prison
for January six related crimes or alleged crimes. They had been,
(23:28):
you know, charged, or they were undergoing prosecution, or they
had been convicted already and were doing jail time or
community service or what have you related to January sixth,
and I think we can all agree that people should
not have broken into the capital on January sixth. However,
I am of the opinion that in the grand scheme
of things, it really doesn't matter all that much. That's
(23:48):
just the way I feel. And the reason I say
that is because there were all the people that were
doing all these various crimes that were identical to, if
not worse than, what was happening on January six those
people got no punishment whatsoever. My thought process when it
comes to something like this is we need to have consistency.
If we have a bunch of people that are all
(24:09):
doing the same crime. They all need to be prosecuted, right,
We can't go picking favorites. I think a lot of
the reasons that conservatives and Republicans have said for so
long that January sixth was just political prosecution. It's not
because we think the January sixers did nothing wrong. I'm
sure there are people that think that, and I'm sure
(24:30):
there are a lot of January six ers that actually
didn't do anything wrong. But at least for me, the
biggest reason that I think that the January sixth prosecutions
were politically motivated prosecutions is because there were no prosecutions
for the BLM writers. Those people have gotten off scott free.
They did way more damage to private property. These people
broke some windows at a federal building, not just a
(24:51):
federal building, the Federal Building the capital of the United States.
Those windows were put back together inside of a week.
There was no great damage done there. Meanwhile, file you
have billions of dollars of private sector damages that were
done and nobody faced any consequences. So for that reason
and that reason alone, I think it's great that the
January six ers were pardoned, just because at least now
(25:14):
we have consistency. If you want to make the case
that everybody that did damage in a riot should be
equally prosecuted and set to jail, we can have that discussion,
but start with the BLM writers. Start there, and then
we'll talk about JA six. Anyway, he extended the deadline
to banned TikTok in the United States. I am of
the opinion that we should ban TikTok only because it
(25:37):
is being used by the Chinese Communist Party to collect data.
It is a security risk for the American people just
as a whole. I know a lot of people don't
care about that. You should. You should care that the
Chinese government is taking your data, and you should not
be willing to comply with it. Some conservatives Rand Paul
has also made this point, say that, well, it makes
(25:59):
no sense to ban TikTok when we're still allowing the
Chinese government to buy farmland here in the United States
around military bases. And I agree that we should solve
both of those problems. But let's not say, Okay, well
we're gonna let them continue to siphon our data just
because we can't stop them from buying our farm land. No,
if we have an opportunity to solve one of these problems,
(26:19):
we should take it. But I will give Trump the
benefit of the doubt here. I believe he's negotiating for
a sale of TikTok, So if he's got a good
reason to extend this deadline, I'll take his word for it,
at least until further notice. Okay. He also withdrew us
from the World Health Organization. That was a big deal.
The World Health Organization screwed us on COVID. It's essentially
(26:40):
run by China. It ran cover for China basically throughout
all of COVID, and we've been paying for it this
entire time. So I want one hundred percent support getting
rid of the World Health Organization. We do not need
to be involved in that anymore. Our doctors are better
than any doctors abroad. This does nothing for us except
our bad accounts. So I'm glad we got out of that.
(27:03):
Let's see restoring accountability. This one just says employees in
or applicants for scheduled policy slash career positions are not
required to personally or politically support the current president or
the policies of the current administration that are required to
faithfully implement administration policies to the best of their ability,
consistent with their constitutional oath, and the vesting of executive
(27:25):
authorities solely in the president. Failure to do so as
grounds for dismissal. So basically just saying, you don't have
to agree with me, just do your job fair enough,
fair enough, you'll get no complaints from me. There holding
former officials accountable for election interference this is an interesting one.
It is the policy of the United States to ensure
that the intelligence community not be engaged in partisan politics
(27:48):
or otherwise used by a US political campaign for electioneering purposes.
So this is basically targeting those fifty one intelligence officials
that said, hey, this Hunter Biden laptop is is fake.
That's not real. And of course, as we all know,
the Hunter Biden laptop was, in fact very real. And
the fact that all these officials said it wasn't in
(28:10):
twenty twenty when they likely knew that it was, because
they had the security clearance to know that that was
a big factor in the twenty twenty election and likely
turned it. So Donald Trump is basically saying, hey, you
guys aren't allowed to just outright lie about this crap anymore.
That's not okay. He actually went and removed a bunch
of their security clearances, which I think is really important
(28:31):
because if you're just gonna use your security clearance to lie,
then you shouldn't have it. But what's my point in
reading you all these executive orders? My point is that
Donald Trump is making the exact types of transformative change
that we thought it would take years for him to
get done. He has done more in a week than
Joe Biden has done in four years, and I can't
wait to see what else he does. Okay, at the
(29:17):
risk of being a little bit immigration heavy, I want
to talk one more time just because I think it's
so important about how much progress Trump has been able
to make on the immigration issue in the what week
that he's been in office. Now, this really is impressive.
(29:38):
I mean, like I said in the last segment, he
has gotten done on a lot of different levels. Things
that I thought it would take him four years to do,
he's done in a week. And that's especially true of immigration,
especially true of immigration. So according to an estimate that
I saw this morning, DHS had removed seven thousand, three
(30:02):
hundred immigrants so far in their big border crackdown. Now,
I want to remind you that we were told for
legitimately months on end that we needed a big omnimus
border bill in order to end the border crisis. That's
what we were told. They went on for weeks and said,
(30:24):
look how much Biden wants to end the border crisis,
but he can't because the evil, nasty Republicans are blocking
the border bill. And meantime, the Republicans were saying, Hey,
you don't actually need a border bill. You could solve
this problem right now, and we're not going to vote
for this border bill because one it's unnecessary and two
it spends a whole bunch of money on a whole
(30:46):
bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the border.
And we were called obstructionists. We were told that we
weren't serious about the border crisis because we didn't support
the big border bill. And then Trump comes into off
has no bill, and inside of a week has done
over seven thousand deportations. And I remind you that's as
(31:09):
of early this morning, that seven three hundred number we've
had somewhere along the lines of another thousand today. Let
me see if I can find the latest ICE update. Yeah,
you can tack on another nine hundred and sixty nine arrests.
Those are all likely soon to be deported. These are
huge monumental wins. And I gotta say, after four years
(31:33):
of watching this happen, this border crisis happen, watching it
unhappen just feels really good, you know. It's just a
really nice feeling to watch everything that we have hoped
for for so long. Because again, I'm in Texas, Houston, Texas.
We've been on the front lines of this border crisis
(31:54):
for some time, not so much here in Houston, but
in Texas. Yeah, and of course there's been big k
relating to the border crisis here in Houston. Jocelyn Nungray,
she was killed not far from where I used to live.
So it's just really good to see somebody who actually
cares about this issue come in and handle it now.
(32:16):
One of the things that makes it so fun to
watch is the fact that first of all, they know
how to put on a show. So here's a clip
of none other than Doctor Phil with Tom Homan. They're
going out and making arrests, and Tom Homan and Doctor
Phil are interviewing these legal aliens. So, I mean, no wonder,
(32:37):
it's so fun to watch America become great again. They're
literally taking professional entertainers and having them document the making
of America great. Take a listen to Doctor Phil and
Tom Homan on the border.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
What's your name? Sta Sato Walk? You have a person?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I think Sarah Sata South?
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Yes? Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Where I was born?
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Where I'm from? Where you're born? You've been deported before
from the United States? Never been deported. I've been assisting. Yeah,
what have you been charged with? Charged with before?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
I'm not a said that, I'm gonna talking by lawyer.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Yeah. Are you a citizen?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
My mother's citizen.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Your mother's a citizen, but you're not. Nope, but you've
never been deported before. The doctor Phil, Yeah, how do
you know me?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
No, I've seen I've seen a doctor Phil, you know
on TV?
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Well, this is an example of sang
story of cities. Right.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
We got an illegal convict to the sex crimes involving children.
He's walking the streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Again.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
The downfall the problem with the sanctuary city that people
like us walking the street rather than from lawforcement working
with preseral agents.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
This is what we're dealing with. Yeah, you've been charged
with sex crimes with children. Not really, not really and
never been deported. Well huh, let's take them in process
and lock them up.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
So obviously, fantastic news that we got this guy off
the streets. Fantastic news. This guy is a predator. And
Tom Homan in that clip does a great job of
pointing out the problem with sanctuary cities, these sanctuary cities,
these sanctuary states, basically any sanctuary jurisdiction that says we're
(34:53):
not going to cooperate with the federal government, We're going
to let illegal aliens hang out there. Do you I
really think crossing the border illegally is the only crime
these guys are committing. There are a huge number of
illegal aliens in this country that truly are the worst
of the worst in all of human society, and they're
right here and they have refuge in the United States.
(35:16):
Thankfully they're being deported. But Selena Gomez, you may know
her from Disney Channel. You may also know her from
the massive box office flop Amelia Perez. That's the terrible
musical about a transgender drug lord that somehow miraculously earned
I think thirteen Oscar nominations despite making three million dollars
(35:40):
at the global box office up against a twenty one
million dollar budget. That's objectively a failure of a movie
that was Selena Gomez's last project. Here she is in
her fancy Hollywood mansion, literally in tears, crying about the
fact that people like that guy who doctor Phil and
Tom Homan just interview dud who had been charged with
(36:02):
sex crimes with a minor. He's being deported here. Selena
Gomez just absolutely in tears about it.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
I just want to say that I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Only people are getting attact the children.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could
do something that he can't. It is so fake to
I'll try everything. I've truly anything. I promise She's not
a very good actress. Just watching the video, I can
(36:47):
tell how clearly fake this is. Every posted this on
my ex Go watch it and you will see just
it's so fake. I'm sorry, it's so fake. And she's
sitting here literally in tears. All my people are being attacked.
You're an American, Selena Gomez. Your people are not getting attacked.
(37:07):
Nobody who's a legal, lawful resident of the United States
is getting deported and you're sitting here going, oh, I
wish there's something I could do. My people are getting attacked.
I'll do everything I can. What posting a video of
you crying? Yeah, I'm sure that's really helpful to all
these illegal aliens getting deported. It's just so fake, it's
all so performative. It's gross to me. It's weaponized empathy,
(37:32):
and it's fake and it's garbage, and I'm so glad
that we've rejected this. She got clowned all over the
internet to the point where she had to delete that
post and then follow it up with a post saying, Okay,
I'm sorry I posted a video of me crying. I
guess we're not allowed to feel empathy? LOADI Dadi da.
It's not the fact that you're not allowed to feel empathy,
(37:53):
it's the fact that you're manufacturing fake empathy and then
trying to use that fake empathy as a political weapon.
What sort of tears do you think? The families of
Lake and Riley and Jocelyn Nungray were crying. They have
good reason to be in tears. A lot of people
have been pointing out that, hey, you weren't making videos
crying when people were being murdered by illegal aliens. But
(38:14):
the moment we start deporting the illegal aliens that have
been committing these crimes, all of a sudden, you're really
heartbroken about it. I love Matt Walsh's comment on this.
He completely calls her bluff. He said, if it's that
big of a deal to you, just move back to Mexico.
He said, move back to Mexico in solidarity with them.
That's something you could do. And he's one hundred percent right.
The American people are done with the performative garbage. We
(38:38):
want results. We've wanted results for a long time. We're
finally getting those results with President Trump, and we're not
just going to give up on that because you're upset
about it. All right, That's all I got. We'll see
y'all next week. Thank you.
All right, or one week in, one week of the Donald,
and things are already going incredibly well. I don't know
if you've been paying attention. I've been locked in. I
can't look away. This might be the coolest thing that
has ever happened is the reelection of Donald Trump. And
(00:34):
I truly do mean that he got to work right quick,
wasted absolutely no time, and is just cracking out on
everything that he said he was going to do. Everything
he has not missed, he hasn't. You can tell that
Donald Trump is doing a really good job because of
(00:55):
how angry the people are at him, and by the people,
I mean Democrat, whereas actual legitimate illegal aliens. I just
scrolled across this video of a bunch of illegal aliens
in Dallas, my home state, Texas waiving. I mean, I
don't know if all of these people are illegal aliens.
I'm sure a lot of them aren't. But the sentiment
(01:15):
here is important. These are people that show far more
loyalty to whatever country they came from than the country
they're in. That is a huge problem, a huge problem
regardless of what country it is you come from. If
you have a bunch of people that are more loyal
to a different country than the one they're living in.
(01:36):
That's not a recipe for success. That's how disaster happens.
So take a listen to this audio of this protest
in Dallas. These are again, probably illegal aliens. I'm sure
a portion of them are. I don't know if all
of them are, but at least a decent portion of
these people are illegal aliens that are protesting the deportations
that Trump has been underway with. Take a listen to
(01:57):
what this sounds like, and it continues as such for
(02:19):
quite some time. This is not healthy. They're all waving
like Mexican flags. They're blocking a highway. These aren't Americans.
They might be American citizens, but these are not Americans.
These are people that are far more loyal to another
country than they are to the United States of America.
It is a problem that we have so many people
(02:39):
that are like this in this country. It's a legitimate issue.
So why are these people so upset? That's a legitimate
question we should be asking. Why are these people so upset?
What did Donald Trump do to all of these I
don't know, illegal aliens, maybe first or second generation immigrants,
(03:01):
but it doesn't look like it. Well he did exactly
what he said he was going to do. He got
cracked out on deporting people, just like he was supposed to.
Since Donald Trump has taken office, I want to say,
there has been something along the lines of eight hundred
arrests of illegal aliens. We're already starting to see the
mass deportation flights. It is amazing. It's amazing. They're loading
(03:26):
them up on planes. They're sending them back to the
countries they came from, just like he said he was
going to do. The American people have been getting exactly
what they voted for, and we love it. I love it.
I'm having a great time. I'm having a great time
because even though I look at a video like that
on Twitter of people from another country that are still
loyal to the country they left, coming into our country
(03:49):
and then disrupting our traffic, causing a problem. I mean,
this is by every available definition, a literal invasion. But
I'm still happy watching this video because I see it
on its way out. These are the last desperate gasps
of a failed invasion attempt into the United States of America.
And thank you Donald Trump for putting a stop to it.
(04:12):
And he is putting a stop to it. Make no
mistake about that. He is putting a stop to it.
So I told you we've sent out deportation flights already.
I believe sent two to Mexico. I believe there could
be more, but as far as I'm aware, there was
two that were sent to Mexico. India, the Prime Minister
of India has agreed to take back some eighteen thousand
(04:35):
illegal immigrants from India, and that was expected. Trump and
the Prime Minister of India get along, so that's not
really surprising. But yeah, India agreed to take back eighteen
thousand people. That's not a small number in terms of
the amount of illegal immigration we've had. It's not like
a huge number, but it's nothing to shake a stick egg.
And it shows that Trump has the momentum right. And
(04:57):
this is something that Columbia just found out the hard way.
It's something I imagine Mexico at some point down the
line is going to find out the hard way as well,
just because Claudia Scheinbaum has been so confrontational. So Monday
it comes out that two deportation flights from the US
to Colombia have been stopped. The Colombian president I guess
(05:18):
wouldn't let them land. According to KTRH, there have been
two incidents in which Colombian officials, reportedly on direct orders
from President gustav Petro, have refused to allow flights to
land that were carrying Colombian's home as part of President
Trump's plan to discharge illegal immigrants from the US. In retaliation,
President Trump announced emergency measures, saying, quote, I was just
(05:41):
informed that two repatriation flights from the United States with
a large number of illegal criminals were not allowed to
land in Colombia. This order was given by Columbia's socialist
president Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people.
Trump went on saying that Petro's denial the flights jeopardized
national security and the public safety of the United States.
(06:03):
Now this is where it gets important. Pay attention here,
because we've come up against the problem. Right, somebody, another
leader on the world stage is going toe to toe
with Trump. So how does this play out? This is,
believe it or not, a defining moment in President Trump's
second term. How he responds to this is going to
make a big deal. So how did he respond? He
whacked Columbia over the head with basically everything and the
(06:26):
kitchen sink. So Trump announces these emergency retaliatory measures. Among
those retaliatory measures are a twenty five percent tariff on
all Colombian goods coming into the United States, visa sanctions,
and financial sanctions. And on top of that, Trump said,
you have one week to get your act together or
those twenty five percent tariffs are going to be doubled.
(06:48):
They're going to become fifty percent tariffs. And then within
a couple of hours the Columbian president back down. Now,
I want to specifically point out what Trump did right here.
He used the tariffs how they're meant to be used.
Tariffs are tool, that's all they are. They can be
good or bad depending on how you use them. Just
like a firearm. A firearm is a great thing. If
you misuse it, you cause a lot of problems. A
tariff is the same way. It's essentially a war of attrition.
(07:11):
Can our consumers afford to pay more for whatever product
it is you're trying to get them to buy longer
than you can afford for them to not buy it?
And the answer is almost exclusively always. America is going
to win that war of attrition always. So if Trump
continues to use tariffs like this in this effective manner
to get what he wants, we are going to see
(07:33):
a lot more success during Trump's presidency. I think he will.
He's not a stupid man. I think he knows exactly
what he's doing here, and I look forward to see
him doing it more because America is getting what we want.
They're going back. We're making America great again. Ladies and gentlemen,
We'll be right back. Okay, I really wouldn't be doing
(08:21):
my job if I didn't actually give you some of
the inauguration day highlights, right, because we all know Trump
came in and he immediately got to work, which is great.
But part of the show, part of the fun, is
the process of him actually, you know, coming into the
position of president of the United States. And I gotta
(08:44):
say I was glued to this basically all day. I
had a great time watching the proceedings. And normally I'm
not one for the pageantry of politics. I usually I
usually try to avoid that just because I think that
kind of defeats the whole purpose. Right, The reason for
the United States is we didn't like the pageantry and
(09:06):
the to do and what not of the king and
the British monarchy. And you know, this is all supposed
to be very down to earth. These are all supposed
to be servants of the people. It's not supposed to
be a big to do, right, It's supposed to just
be people doing a job in service of others. However,
I confess I had a great time watching the pageantry
(09:28):
and the fanciness of Donald Trump's inauguration. So I'm gonna
play you some of the highlights because I think there's
a lot here in this kind of first day, this
January twentieth, that was worth taking a look at. It
was worth examining. First, of course, we got to start off,
you know where we started off. Take a listen to
what it sounded like when Donald Trump was actually sworn
(09:50):
into office as the forty seventh President of the United
States of America. This this was frankly pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Please raise your right hand and repea after me, I,
Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear, I, Donald John Trump,
do solemnly swear.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
That I will faithfully execute that.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I will faithfully execute the office of President of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The office of President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And will, to the best of my ability.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And will, to the best of my ability.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Preserve, protect, and defend the zero, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The Constitution of the United States. So help me, God,
So help me God. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So there it is. It's official. He is the president again.
And uh yeah, that was just the beginning. It kicked
off from there and he literally wasted zero time. His
acceptance speech was I'm about to play for you or
is it technically an acceptance speech? His first big speech
that he gave there in the Capitol rotunda was really good.
I've got some of the highlights of that. One of
(10:57):
the things that he did, I think, frankly remarkably well
in this speech is he just absolutely blasted Joe Biden
on virtually every front. It was a bloodbath. Frankly, it
was a bloodbath. He successfully pointed out all of the
flaws in the Biden administration, which is impressive given the
(11:18):
time constraints, like it would take a long time to
do that normally, but he managed to do it in
the time that he had. And one of the key
ways that he did it was pointing out what his
administration is going to be like. And essentially he says
I'm going to be a peacemaker and a unifier, which
doesn't initially sound like a dig at Joe Biden. Right,
(11:41):
It's like, okay that every president says that. Yeah, every
president says that. And Joe Biden tried to make it
his entire personality and his entire administration and he ended
up actually doing none of it. Joe Biden actually had
an incredibly divisive presidency and he had a bunch of
wars breakout during his presidency, which is something that did
(12:02):
not happen under Donald Trump. So this really is I
think a dig at Joe Biden when he says I'm
going to have the legacy as a peacemaker and unifier
that you really wanted, and he said it with Joe
Biden's standing right there. It's beautiful. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
My proudest legacy will be that of a peace maker
and unifier. That's what I want to be, a peace
maker and a unifier. I'm pleased to say that as
of yesterday, one day before I assumed office, the hostages
in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, that's a big deal. He secured that. By the way,
literally the day before was when that initial peace deal
with Israel was announced, which is insane because first of all,
this war started under Joe Biden. Those hostages were taken
under Joe Biden. He's had like two years now to
(13:01):
get them back, and he hasn't not quite two years.
It was what October seventh of twenty twenty three when
this war started, So he's had over a year and
he hasn't been able to get the hostages back. But
Donald Trump swoops in and he gets the hostages back
before he even takes office. I think one of the
(13:22):
main reasons he was able to do that is because
he's made it clear to basically everyone, listen, my administration
is going to be one of strength. We are going
to have a strong United States of America. We're going
to have a strong United States military. A big part
of that is, you know, building up your troops, right.
And a step that he announced to build up those
(13:44):
troops is he's saying, listen, all those people, y'all fired
because they wouldn't take the COVID vaccine. All those soldiers,
Guess what they're coming back under my administration. Take a listen,
to him making that announcement.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
This week, Guy will reinstate any service members who were
unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID
vaccine mandate with full back pain.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All the vets stand up and clap everybody in.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
The audience, and I will sign in order to stop
our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and
social experiments while on duty.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's going to end immediately. That's DEI. He's talking about
DEI right there.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their
soul mission, defeating America's enemies.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And hey, he immediately got to work on all of
that the moment he was signed in. Now that Pete
Hegseth has gotten confirmed as well, the speed is doubling.
It's amazing to see what Donald Trump has been able
to get done a week. All right, one of the
last clips I want to play for you, And by
the way, all of this is on Twitter, and of
course you can go watch the whole speech. I highly
recommend you do that. It was really good. But the
(15:09):
last clip I'm gonna play for you is the clip
where he's talking about going to space, going to Mars,
and I'm gonna play this just because I'm a nerd
about this and I think it's really freaking cool what
Elon Musk is doing with SpaceX and how close humanity
is to Mars, and I just I got giddy about this.
So take a listen to this clip where he's like, Yeah,
we're gonna go to Mars. We're gonna plant the American
(15:30):
flag on Mars. It's pretty great.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Take a listen, and we will pursue our manifest destiny
into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars
and stripes on the planet Mars.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's so funny to watch that to me, just because
Elon Musk has like the biggest ear to ear grin.
He's just so excited and he has every right to
be because listen, this is cool. It really is cool.
I know this sounds silly, but this just feels like
a cool era in the United States, right. It just
feels like we're having fun. That's something that we've missed
out on for quite a long time, is just let's
(16:09):
have some fun in the United States. Let's do cool stuff,
let's achieve things. Can we get back to doing stuff
that nobody has done before? Listen in the seventies we
went to the Moon. I guess it was sixty nine
when the moon landing was, but that's basically the seventies,
so who cares. But yeah, that's something cool and amazing
and something we thought to be impossible before that America
(16:32):
did and we haven't done anything like it since. But
we're gonna get back to doing it because the age
of American exceptionalism is back. We are done coasting off
the achievements of our forefathers. We current day Americans are
gonna do cool fricking stuff again, all right. One of
my favorite moments of the day was as Joe Biden
(16:52):
and Joe Biden were flying off in the helicopter going
off into obscurity, CNN basically just had to sit there
and cry about it. Take listen to what they were
saying about Donald Trump as the camera panned with Joe
Biden flying off into the sunset.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
But one thing I was really struck by watching this
is this is the mainstreaming of Donald Trump. Of course,
he was a president before, but you can't dismiss him
as an anomaly anymore. He is as much part of
the fabric of American history as Barack Obama, George Bush,
and you saw it from the tech titans there to
the alifts, celebrities like Carry Underwood to you know, the
CEO of a fashion conglomerate. This is a very different
(17:27):
Donald Trump presidency than the first time he was in office.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And you know what, she couldn't possibly be more correct
this time. We're going in to get stuff done. Donald
Trump realizes the status quote doesn't work, just like we
all do, and he's done dealing with the status quo.
We're going in to make major changes in the United
States of America, and we are going to see some
of the results. We'll start digging into those major changes
(17:52):
in just one second, y'all. All right, let's talk about
(18:21):
some of the executive orders that Trump did, some of
his day one executive orders, because this was really where
the meat and potatoes of the new administration was. And
I think a lot of this is really interesting stuff too,
mainly because this is, you know, a lot of stuff
that we've been pushing really hard in the conservative movement
(18:43):
for for quite some time, and we've been told, for
whatever reason, by a lot of people over a lot
of years that some of this stuff just can't be done.
And then Trump came in on day one and he
did it, which I think is it's pretty telling about
the kind of president that he is. It's very interesting,
to say the least. So one of the first executive
orders that he signed is he withdrew America from a
(19:05):
number of different international agreements, namely the Paris Climate Accords.
These are things that really just did not benefit America
at all, like the Paris Climate Accords. It's like the
name would suggest it's climate agenda stuff. It's essentially useless.
Climate agenda stuff like this does nothing, which is a
point that conservatives have made for years. It's like, hey,
(19:27):
we're spending a lot of money, we're hampering ourselves, and
this is doing nothing. So he drew us out of that,
which he had done before. Biden redid that when he
first got into office, and now Trump has re undone it,
which is back and forth and back and forth and
back and forth. I imagine the next time a Democrat
wins the presidency will be right back in it like
(19:48):
nothing ever happened. But at least for now we're out
of it. That's good. He also did a big hiring
freeze on the federal government. He basically just said, until
you know, we do a big review, we're not to
hire any more people. We don't need more employees right now. Really,
we shouldn't ever undo this. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned,
make the federal government smaller. But as of right now,
(20:10):
he has frozen the hiring for basically the entire federal government,
which is I think great regulatory freeze pending review. Basically
just saying, hey, for the time being, federal agencies, y'all
don't need to be making any new rules or regulations whatsoever.
That's great, always less regulation. Return to in person work.
(20:31):
This one. I don't really have much of an opinion
on either way, only because I really don't care where
people work as long as they're working. If you want
to work from home and you can get your job done,
go for it, knock yourself out. That really doesn't matter
much to me. I think a big problem here, though,
is a lot of government officials were working for home
and they actually can't get their jobs done from home.
(20:53):
They just won't do it. They don't show up to work,
they don't do any work, and then they collect a paycheck.
So I don't know. I really couldn't care less about
that one, but I guess it's God's reasons ending the
weaponization of the federal government. This one says the Attorney General,
in consultation with the heads of all Departments and Agencies
of the United States, shall take appropriate action to review
(21:13):
the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or
criminal enforcement authority of the United States. So that's basically saying, hey,
we're going to go in and we're going to make
sure that none of the agencies that are currently taking
enforcement actions on any of their regulations or laws or
rules or anything. We're going to make sure that none
of that is politically motivated. That's incredibly important. It shouldn't
(21:37):
have to be done, but unfortunately we live in a
day and age in the United States where it does
have to be done. So it's great. It's great that
he's doing that. That's important. Restoring freedom of speech. It's
the policy of the United States to secure the right
of the American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech.
I think that one's aimed more at social media companies
(21:59):
and censer As we all know, the federal government under
the Biden administration worked a lot with Twitter and Facebook,
and I don't know if it was working with them
so much as just bullying them, but whatever the situation was,
there was a lot of censorship going on at social
media companies on behalf of the federal government. So it
wasn't technically the federal government doing it, but the federal
(22:21):
government would ask for this censorship to occur, and then
the social media companies would do it, or they would
imply that they wanted the censorship to occur, and the
social media companies would do it. That's how they kind
of ended around the First Amendment. They said, well, it's
not the government abridging your freedom of speech, this is
just these platforms don't want this content. Yeah, you know
what you did. So that ending is incredibly important and
(22:44):
very good initial recision of harmful executive orders and action.
So that's basically he went in and took just seventy
eight different things that Biden had did and just undid
all of them. That's basically just a giant controls the
or commands, the if you're on mac, basically just undoing
everything Biden did. And then of course he did his
big January sixth pardon. We know that was going to happen.
(23:06):
I don't know why, but I expected that for some
other reason, and there was no reason for this at all.
I literally, just in my head, I had kind of
assumed that he would wait a little bit to do that,
but I understand why he didn't. This was also a
good move. There were a lot of people in prison
for January six related crimes or alleged crimes. They had been,
(23:28):
you know, charged, or they were undergoing prosecution, or they
had been convicted already and were doing jail time or
community service or what have you related to January sixth,
and I think we can all agree that people should
not have broken into the capital on January sixth. However,
I am of the opinion that in the grand scheme
of things, it really doesn't matter all that much. That's
(23:48):
just the way I feel. And the reason I say
that is because there were all the people that were
doing all these various crimes that were identical to, if
not worse than, what was happening on January six those
people got no punishment whatsoever. My thought process when it
comes to something like this is we need to have consistency.
If we have a bunch of people that are all
(24:09):
doing the same crime. They all need to be prosecuted, right,
We can't go picking favorites. I think a lot of
the reasons that conservatives and Republicans have said for so
long that January sixth was just political prosecution. It's not
because we think the January sixers did nothing wrong. I'm
sure there are people that think that, and I'm sure
(24:30):
there are a lot of January six ers that actually
didn't do anything wrong. But at least for me, the
biggest reason that I think that the January sixth prosecutions
were politically motivated prosecutions is because there were no prosecutions
for the BLM writers. Those people have gotten off scott free.
They did way more damage to private property. These people
broke some windows at a federal building, not just a
(24:51):
federal building, the Federal Building the capital of the United States.
Those windows were put back together inside of a week.
There was no great damage done there. Meanwhile, file you
have billions of dollars of private sector damages that were
done and nobody faced any consequences. So for that reason
and that reason alone, I think it's great that the
January six ers were pardoned, just because at least now
(25:14):
we have consistency. If you want to make the case
that everybody that did damage in a riot should be
equally prosecuted and set to jail, we can have that discussion,
but start with the BLM writers. Start there, and then
we'll talk about JA six. Anyway, he extended the deadline
to banned TikTok in the United States. I am of
the opinion that we should ban TikTok only because it
(25:37):
is being used by the Chinese Communist Party to collect data.
It is a security risk for the American people just
as a whole. I know a lot of people don't
care about that. You should. You should care that the
Chinese government is taking your data, and you should not
be willing to comply with it. Some conservatives Rand Paul
has also made this point, say that, well, it makes
(25:59):
no sense to ban TikTok when we're still allowing the
Chinese government to buy farmland here in the United States
around military bases. And I agree that we should solve
both of those problems. But let's not say, Okay, well
we're gonna let them continue to siphon our data just
because we can't stop them from buying our farm land. No,
if we have an opportunity to solve one of these problems,
(26:19):
we should take it. But I will give Trump the
benefit of the doubt here. I believe he's negotiating for
a sale of TikTok, So if he's got a good
reason to extend this deadline, I'll take his word for it,
at least until further notice. Okay. He also withdrew us
from the World Health Organization. That was a big deal.
The World Health Organization screwed us on COVID. It's essentially
(26:40):
run by China. It ran cover for China basically throughout
all of COVID, and we've been paying for it this
entire time. So I want one hundred percent support getting
rid of the World Health Organization. We do not need
to be involved in that anymore. Our doctors are better
than any doctors abroad. This does nothing for us except
our bad accounts. So I'm glad we got out of that.
(27:03):
Let's see restoring accountability. This one just says employees in
or applicants for scheduled policy slash career positions are not
required to personally or politically support the current president or
the policies of the current administration that are required to
faithfully implement administration policies to the best of their ability,
consistent with their constitutional oath, and the vesting of executive
(27:25):
authorities solely in the president. Failure to do so as
grounds for dismissal. So basically just saying, you don't have
to agree with me, just do your job fair enough,
fair enough, you'll get no complaints from me. There holding
former officials accountable for election interference this is an interesting one.
It is the policy of the United States to ensure
that the intelligence community not be engaged in partisan politics
(27:48):
or otherwise used by a US political campaign for electioneering purposes.
So this is basically targeting those fifty one intelligence officials
that said, hey, this Hunter Biden laptop is is fake.
That's not real. And of course, as we all know,
the Hunter Biden laptop was, in fact very real. And
the fact that all these officials said it wasn't in
(28:10):
twenty twenty when they likely knew that it was, because
they had the security clearance to know that that was
a big factor in the twenty twenty election and likely
turned it. So Donald Trump is basically saying, hey, you
guys aren't allowed to just outright lie about this crap anymore.
That's not okay. He actually went and removed a bunch
of their security clearances, which I think is really important
(28:31):
because if you're just gonna use your security clearance to lie,
then you shouldn't have it. But what's my point in
reading you all these executive orders? My point is that
Donald Trump is making the exact types of transformative change
that we thought it would take years for him to
get done. He has done more in a week than
Joe Biden has done in four years, and I can't
wait to see what else he does. Okay, at the
(29:17):
risk of being a little bit immigration heavy, I want
to talk one more time just because I think it's
so important about how much progress Trump has been able
to make on the immigration issue in the what week
that he's been in office. Now, this really is impressive.
(29:38):
I mean, like I said in the last segment, he
has gotten done on a lot of different levels. Things
that I thought it would take him four years to do,
he's done in a week. And that's especially true of immigration,
especially true of immigration. So according to an estimate that
I saw this morning, DHS had removed seven thousand, three
(30:02):
hundred immigrants so far in their big border crackdown. Now,
I want to remind you that we were told for
legitimately months on end that we needed a big omnimus
border bill in order to end the border crisis. That's
what we were told. They went on for weeks and said,
(30:24):
look how much Biden wants to end the border crisis,
but he can't because the evil, nasty Republicans are blocking
the border bill. And meantime, the Republicans were saying, Hey,
you don't actually need a border bill. You could solve
this problem right now, and we're not going to vote
for this border bill because one it's unnecessary and two
it spends a whole bunch of money on a whole
(30:46):
bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the border.
And we were called obstructionists. We were told that we
weren't serious about the border crisis because we didn't support
the big border bill. And then Trump comes into off
has no bill, and inside of a week has done
over seven thousand deportations. And I remind you that's as
(31:09):
of early this morning, that seven three hundred number we've
had somewhere along the lines of another thousand today. Let
me see if I can find the latest ICE update. Yeah,
you can tack on another nine hundred and sixty nine arrests.
Those are all likely soon to be deported. These are
huge monumental wins. And I gotta say, after four years
(31:33):
of watching this happen, this border crisis happen, watching it
unhappen just feels really good, you know. It's just a
really nice feeling to watch everything that we have hoped
for for so long. Because again, I'm in Texas, Houston, Texas.
We've been on the front lines of this border crisis
(31:54):
for some time, not so much here in Houston, but
in Texas. Yeah, and of course there's been big k
relating to the border crisis here in Houston. Jocelyn Nungray,
she was killed not far from where I used to live.
So it's just really good to see somebody who actually
cares about this issue come in and handle it now.
(32:16):
One of the things that makes it so fun to
watch is the fact that first of all, they know
how to put on a show. So here's a clip
of none other than Doctor Phil with Tom Homan. They're
going out and making arrests, and Tom Homan and Doctor
Phil are interviewing these legal aliens. So, I mean, no wonder,
(32:37):
it's so fun to watch America become great again. They're
literally taking professional entertainers and having them document the making
of America great. Take a listen to Doctor Phil and
Tom Homan on the border.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
What's your name? Sta Sato Walk? You have a person?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I think Sarah Sata South?
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Yes? Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Where I was born?
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Where I'm from? Where you're born? You've been deported before
from the United States? Never been deported. I've been assisting. Yeah,
what have you been charged with? Charged with before?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
I'm not a said that, I'm gonna talking by lawyer.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Yeah. Are you a citizen?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
My mother's citizen.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Your mother's a citizen, but you're not. Nope, but you've
never been deported before. The doctor Phil, Yeah, how do
you know me?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
No, I've seen I've seen a doctor Phil, you know
on TV?
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Well, this is an example of sang
story of cities. Right.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
We got an illegal convict to the sex crimes involving children.
He's walking the streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Again.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
The downfall the problem with the sanctuary city that people
like us walking the street rather than from lawforcement working
with preseral agents.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
This is what we're dealing with. Yeah, you've been charged
with sex crimes with children. Not really, not really and
never been deported. Well huh, let's take them in process
and lock them up.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
So obviously, fantastic news that we got this guy off
the streets. Fantastic news. This guy is a predator. And
Tom Homan in that clip does a great job of
pointing out the problem with sanctuary cities, these sanctuary cities,
these sanctuary states, basically any sanctuary jurisdiction that says we're
(34:53):
not going to cooperate with the federal government, We're going
to let illegal aliens hang out there. Do you I
really think crossing the border illegally is the only crime
these guys are committing. There are a huge number of
illegal aliens in this country that truly are the worst
of the worst in all of human society, and they're
right here and they have refuge in the United States.
(35:16):
Thankfully they're being deported. But Selena Gomez, you may know
her from Disney Channel. You may also know her from
the massive box office flop Amelia Perez. That's the terrible
musical about a transgender drug lord that somehow miraculously earned
I think thirteen Oscar nominations despite making three million dollars
(35:40):
at the global box office up against a twenty one
million dollar budget. That's objectively a failure of a movie
that was Selena Gomez's last project. Here she is in
her fancy Hollywood mansion, literally in tears, crying about the
fact that people like that guy who doctor Phil and
Tom Homan just interview dud who had been charged with
(36:02):
sex crimes with a minor. He's being deported here. Selena
Gomez just absolutely in tears about it.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
I just want to say that I'm so sorry.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Only people are getting attact the children.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could
do something that he can't. It is so fake to
I'll try everything. I've truly anything. I promise She's not
a very good actress. Just watching the video, I can
(36:47):
tell how clearly fake this is. Every posted this on
my ex Go watch it and you will see just
it's so fake. I'm sorry, it's so fake. And she's
sitting here literally in tears. All my people are being attacked.
You're an American, Selena Gomez. Your people are not getting attacked.
(37:07):
Nobody who's a legal, lawful resident of the United States
is getting deported and you're sitting here going, oh, I
wish there's something I could do. My people are getting attacked.
I'll do everything I can. What posting a video of
you crying? Yeah, I'm sure that's really helpful to all
these illegal aliens getting deported. It's just so fake, it's
all so performative. It's gross to me. It's weaponized empathy,
(37:32):
and it's fake and it's garbage, and I'm so glad
that we've rejected this. She got clowned all over the
internet to the point where she had to delete that
post and then follow it up with a post saying, Okay,
I'm sorry I posted a video of me crying. I
guess we're not allowed to feel empathy? LOADI Dadi da.
It's not the fact that you're not allowed to feel empathy,
(37:53):
it's the fact that you're manufacturing fake empathy and then
trying to use that fake empathy as a political weapon.
What sort of tears do you think? The families of
Lake and Riley and Jocelyn Nungray were crying. They have
good reason to be in tears. A lot of people
have been pointing out that, hey, you weren't making videos
crying when people were being murdered by illegal aliens. But
(38:14):
the moment we start deporting the illegal aliens that have
been committing these crimes, all of a sudden, you're really
heartbroken about it. I love Matt Walsh's comment on this.
He completely calls her bluff. He said, if it's that
big of a deal to you, just move back to Mexico.
He said, move back to Mexico in solidarity with them.
That's something you could do. And he's one hundred percent right.
The American people are done with the performative garbage. We
(38:38):
want results. We've wanted results for a long time. We're
finally getting those results with President Trump, and we're not
just going to give up on that because you're upset
about it. All right, That's all I got. We'll see
y'all next week. Thank you.
