Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is a lot of talk now about the issue
of illegal immigration in this country, and specifically the fact
that we're now being told that the Biden administration is
trying to sell off parts of the border wall for
as little as and this is not a joke five dollars,
because they know that border wall is going to be used,
(00:21):
and they want to say to the American people that
voted for Donald Trump to secure the border, basically, screw you.
We also now know that there is a divide with
mayors and governors who are Democrats trying to figure out
if they're going to work with the Trump administration or
if they're going to become political martyrs and say no, no, no,
(00:43):
we are a safe haven for a legal immigrant activity,
which includes all the crime that comes with it. Mayor
Adams making it very clear in New York City as
crime is completely out of control and more than seventy
percent of the crimes committed now in New York City
Upper like Times Square in that area, are now being
committed by illegal immigrants. He had a meeting with the
(01:07):
incoming man who's going to be in charge, Tom Homan,
and Democrats are absolutely furious with the New York mayor,
because the New York mayor said this about illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Listen this before, and I'm surprised the way everyone is
attempting to state this is a new coming of Eric Adams.
I've stated this over and over again long before this election,
that this can't be a safe haven of violent individuals.
You have a right, a privilege to live in this country,
(01:40):
and those who want to commit acts of violence, they
are violating that privilege.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They are violating that privilege. New York City can't be
a safe haven for violent individuals. Now, it's very clear
that Mayor Adams is saying I'm going to work with
Donald Trump because he believes his constituents, by the way,
have also had enough. Now there are others that are
going to go the other way, and I think we
(02:08):
know that based on what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm going to go through that list in a moment.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But let me also let you hear when Jessica and
Tarlov and Katie Kuric said on the issue of illegal
immigration and their podcast they were doing and this is
the left, so listen.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
On the immigration front, there was a tendency amongst Democrats,
and especially Democrats were discussing the issues of people who
do interviews are part of the media to minimize it
over the first two and a half years, when there
were a lot of people coming in here, and I
thought that it was a stunt. You know, when they
(02:44):
started bussing migrants they go to markets, vineyards. Yeah, it
was the smartest thing they ever did. Well.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It's interesting because I have a friend who lives in Florida,
and I said, what did you think of Ron DeSantis
and Greg Abbott taking some of these immigrants and moving
them to northern States? And she said, I thought it
was great because nobody really was paying attention before that.
And I do think that this untold story was the
(03:14):
strain on social services and communities, particularly along the border,
this influx, huge influx of immigrants was having and I
think the mainstream media, however you define that these days,
kind of ignored that story to its peril.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That is people that are saying, who are doing a
real assessment of this last election, And I give credit
to both of those people that you just heard. They're
being honest. They're saying, we got this wrong. This was
a really bad move. We made a mistake. It was
really smart what they did it made sense what they
(03:53):
were doing. And so you now have this big fight
back and forth where there are some these mayors, for example,
those that are in Chicago and the governor of Illinois.
You're like, we're still going to stick it to Donald
Trump and we're not going to budge.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, there's two things that are going to happen because
of that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Number one what's going to happen is illegal immigrants are
going to run once Trump gets into office, if not before,
when they see the crackdown happen, they are going to
run to the cities like Denver, Colorado, and Chicago, Illinois
where they quote feel safe. Tom Homan saying this on
Fox and Friends about all that he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Okay, I got a feeling it was not the mayor
of Chicago because you just mentioned Mayor Johnson. I know
you were in Chicago on Monday and you said that
your deportation plan is going to start in a big
way in Chicago, and you said the governor and the
mayor can either help you or get out of the way.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But you also.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Said if he meaning the mayor, if he impedes us,
if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien, I
will prosecute him. So you will not only go after
the illegal migrants. You may go after some mayors who
aren't helping.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
If they step over that line, they can sit back
and watch us, which again I find incredible. You don't
want to take public safety threat tidy community to help us.
But there are laws on the books that we will
we will prosecute. It's eighteen USC. One to eleven impeding
a federal law enforce officers of felony Title eight, and
I say it's called thirteen twenty four. Trumply, if you
(05:37):
knowingly conceal or harbor antle alien from ice, that is
a felony. When I was an agent a long time ago,
I've arrested US citizens for harboring an alien their holding
or place of employment. If I can do it to
a citizen, why can't I do it to a politician
who's going to actively getting our way preventives from doing
our job.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Now you hear what he said there, and it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
These other governor and mayors are going to have to
decide are they going to dig in or are they
going to abide by the law.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Now you gotta understand this is about abiding by the law.
This is all about abiding by the law.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And Tom Homan praised the New York Mayor Adams after
meeting with him, and he said he saw the cop
in him and he's basically saying, look, be smart, protect
your citizens.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This doesn't need or have to be political.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Mayor Eric Adams has led you to believe that he's
in to help you.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Absolutely. Now I've been calling Mayor Adams off of two
years saying if he got it was like being a
cop and became a politician because it wasn't taking enough
action on public safety in the city when it comes
to illegal aliens. Yesday, I saw a complete one eighty.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I saw the cop and him.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
And he has promised to work with us to target violent, criminal,
illegal aliens in this city and to help us find
over three hundred thousand missing children that this administration released
on better sponsors. That's truck, a cord and muscles. So
he's promised partnership. He promised that he's going to write
some to get some of the stuff done and overturn
some damage that Bill Blazo did. We're talking about getting
(07:05):
back into Rikers Island where we used to have agents
so people don't get released. We're talking about having agents,
a signing the precincts right and then release them straight
to the street. On this Baire reform, maw give them
to my agents to take care of. So we promised
to put two steps together and work out the details.
But yesterday he's all in. What made him change, I
think the tragedies we've seen the last year or two.
(07:27):
I think you know, whether it's Lake and Road, and
we actually talked about Lake and Roddy yesterday because Lake
and Ridley was a.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Rest in the city.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
If we would have had a better Lake operation, yeah
or killer we had a better relationship here, he would
have never got to Georgia and she'd probably liked today.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So we talked about this.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
So, like I said, yesterday, I saw Eric Adams' career
cop and he really cares about public safety of the
city and he wants who he can and he's willing
to take the hit from the left to do it
because it's the.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Right thing to do.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
He's put in public safety over politics, and I thought, yes,
he was.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
A great m that should be every city.
Speaker 9 (08:01):
Because I don't know if people understand this, but when
there's a detainer.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We're talking about criminals only. This is only criminals.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
If you're asking local law.
Speaker 9 (08:09):
Enforcement for help, it's because someone has broke the law
in some way.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We're not talking about although that is a part of deportation.
Speaker 10 (08:17):
But your cooperation for every major city is only talking
about the criminal aliens, right, And.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
That's what we talked about yesterday. I said, Look, I
don't I'm not looking for NYPD become immigration officers, you know,
leave that to me. But when it comes to public
safety credits, we should be on the same site. And
that's why it's so angry. Just Chicago mayor, you know,
Governor Prisker and San Diego just passed the most damaging
laws in San Diego that illegal and can you get
(08:43):
rest for rape? And they're going to release them to
the street rather than car ice. So and that's why
I'm angry because I I don't think it's a part.
It should be a purtiseon issue. Republicans, Democrats, any parents.
When it comes to public safety, we're elected mayor or
elected governor doesn't want public safety threats other.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Communities, He's right, what mayor doesn't want public safety threats?
Or governor out of their communities. This is how political
and radicalize the left has become. And you look at
just Tom Homan in the way that he is describing
now what he's up against, that if you're breaking the law,
(09:21):
there should be consequence for breaking the law. That includes
if you're an elected official. What it does mean is
doing what Tom said, we have to do to work
with anybody. I want to obey the law, and I
want to get the people out who are committing crimes
from your cities and from your states.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
There was a I'll give you another example.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
A drunk illegal immigrant kills a seven year old months
after he was released.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
From a ice detainer.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
This coming out on Fox News, and this is what's
happening in this country because of the Biden administration and
then these sanctuary cities and sanctuary governors who are refusing
to work with the federal government.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Plus a seven year old girl killed by an illegal
immigrant driving drunk in Texas.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
You came over here illegal, so that means you don't
follow the LAO and you think that you're above the LAO.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Ivery was everybody's like you. When she walked in a room,
she just lit the room up.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
The Venezuelan national charge with intoxicated manslaughter, was released from
custody just two months ago after assaulting a member of
his family. Christina Coleman is live in LA with more
on this heartrending story. Christina, Good Evening, Hi, get even mean?
Speaker 9 (10:43):
Tracey has such a tragedy that Venezuelan migrant is accused
of killing seven year old Ivory Smith and a late
night drunk driving accident in Houston. Her family is absolutely devastated.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We just want her here.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
We want to see those smiles back on her face,
back on our family space and will never be the same.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Up North, democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams and
incoming borders are Tom Holman met up today and discuss
criminal migrants. The two apparently reached some common ground. Holman
says it was a great meeting today.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
He proved that as a mayor in New York City
he's more concerned with public safety than politics. I wish
the mayor of Chicago and San Diego City Council and
Governor Pritzker. I wish they'd all take a page out
of the Mayor Eric Adams play.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But we're not going to be a safe haven for
those who commit repeated violent crimes.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
And speaking of Chicago, as you heard already in the show,
residents their voice, their anger over how leaders and their
sanctuary city are handling the migrant crisis. More than one
point four million illegal immigrants are currently in the US
with final orders of removal. The majority of them are
from Mexico and the Northern tri Angle countries in Central America, Juanmala, Honduras,
(12:03):
and El Salvador.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Trace a lot of people, a lot of people, Christina,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You hear that story and it makes me angry because
this was one of those issues. Just like the other
student that was murdered while running in Athens, Georgia, the
University of Georgia. This was a guy that had a
nice detainer. He would have been taken out of this
country if they would have done it the right way.
And this seven year old that got killed by an
(12:28):
illegal immigrants driving drunk in Texas as the victim's aunt's
a very beginning. You came over here illegal, so that
means you don't follow the law, and you don't think
that and you think that you are above the law. Ivory,
referring to the seven year old, was everybody's life. When
she walked in the room, she just lit up the room.
And it's another Venezuelan national charged with intoxicated manslaughter was
(12:52):
released from Cussey just two months ago after assaulting a
member of his family. These are the violent criminals that
do not deserve to stay in this country. These are
the violent criminals that should have never been allowed into
this country. Which brings me back to what I said
about the border wall. And the most shocking part of
(13:12):
all of this is the fact that we now know
for a fact that the Biden administration is so angry
that they lost the election, and the deep state is
so angry, and the Department of Home in Security is
so angry that the border is going to be controlled,
that they're now just saying screw you to the American
tax payers because they're trying to sell border wall segments,
(13:34):
auctioning them off for as little as five dollars a segment,
knowing they'd have to be rebought by the taxpayers all
over again. The Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick blowing the
whistle on this, saying this to Laura Ingram about what's
happening now.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
We mean business in Texas and Tom Holmans means business
and President Trump means business. And I don't know if
you heard the latest today, Laura, but Joe Biden is
now hauling off the border wall that's been lying down
for years, and he walked wants to auction it off,
starting at five dollars apiece.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Message to the White House right now.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
I will bid on all of that wall, and we
will buy it in Texas and we will give it
to Donald Trump. So I'm going to find out first
thing in the morning. Where are we going to take
the bid. I've got a billion dollars in my pocket
to do it. I write the budget with Senator Joan Hoffman.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
We have the money.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
We're going to have about six billion in our budget
for bordershipper down.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
The costs don't drive up. The costs only five bucks
of five bucks to the wall. But then I will
go in and buy it all.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
I'm not going to drive Tell you what what does
this tell you about the Biden people there?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
They're essentially green lights.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
There's more people coming in.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
Yeah, they're despicable what they're doing to the American people,
and the American people obviously aren't tolerated. That's why they
were thrown out.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But the idea.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
We've been trying to buy this wall for them from
them for four years and they wouldn't sell it to us.
And you know what, I'm going to check in with
our Department of Public Safety. Maybe we need to start
pulling over these trucks to be sure they don't have
too much weight on those trucks. Maybe these trucks need
to be slowed down. We need to do everything we
can in Texas to stop them. The taxpayers paid for this,
(15:17):
and they want to stop President Trump in thirty eight
or thirty nine days from rebuilding the wall. I want
to This is the legacy of Joe Biden. He lets
off his son, He's letting off all these criminals. He's
doing everything he can with these blue state governors and
mayors to destroy this country. They are traders to this country,
leaving terrorists, leaving murders, leaving rapists.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
In this country.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
And now he wants to sabotage this president before he
takes off. It is disgraceful and discussing. He will go
down as the worst, most despicable president in the history
of this country because no one has done more to
damage this country and hurt American citizens.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
I would agree with you on that.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I mean the fact that they're trying to do this.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
They know that the American people support a border wall,
and they backed it up by voting for it. The
polling shows the majority of the American people are demanding
border wall security, and instead the Biden Administration's like, no, no,
we were right at the very end.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
We're going to bring in trucks.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
We're going to spend a bunch of money at the
very end to sell an auction off for five dollars
pieces of the border wall.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
That's what we're going to do. This is how it works.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We're going to make sure that the border wall is
something you're going to have to buy all over again.
When they tell you they don't believe in democracy through
their actions, believe them. When they fled a country with
millions and millions and millions of illegal immigrants and they
(16:56):
say that they are ashamed of this country, believe them.
Like this is not hard to figure out, folks. They're
telling you what they want to do. They are telling
you just how much they hate this country. Let's talk
about the numbers for a second. And this is the
Biden administration. We've also learned, and I hope everybody that's
(17:17):
listening right now will take the information about to give
you and share it. Okay, so share the podcast, share
it wherever you can, because this is also new intel.
On top of what I just told you, the Biden
administration is waived as many as ten million illegal immigrants
into this country.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Maybe more.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
They are, and this just doesn't count the illegals that
came in before he took office four years ago. So
I want you to understand it's at least two point
five million illegal immigrants and have fled this country every
year they've been in office, if not more. They aren't
living by the way in California, Texas and New York.
They've spread to every corner of America. President Trump was
(17:58):
elected with a mandate to restore law and order, to
give America a real border, secured border, an actual border.
He was also given a mandate to crush the cartels,
which he said he was going to designate his terrorist organizations,
and the flow of drugs and human and sex trafficking
across our border.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
He was elected in essence to end the invasion.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Now I think we all can agree we're not gonna
be able to fix this problem with only a border wall, right, Like,
that's the truth. But securing America, what it does mean
is doing what Tom Homan said we have to do.
We've got to start an unprecedented deportation effort. Now, you
want to know how many illegal immigrants are in every
(18:42):
state by state? We have some new preliminary numbers. I'm
going to give you those in a moment. I want
to get to these numbers. And it's not just the
border states or towns that have illegal immigrants. You can't
bring in as many as they brought in and them
not be everywhere, and they've moved and they've set up shop.
(19:04):
For example, there's one point seven million they believe illegal
immigrants in Texas alone. All right, this is the number
of people that are eligible for mass deportation based on
what they've said. The criteria is there's a lot more
illegals there than just that. I want to be clear
when I'm giving these numbers. But securing America means launching
an unprecedented deportation effort to undo the damage the Biden
(19:28):
administration has done to this country. So it's got to
be the number one priority. I believe it is the
the of Trump, and I believe it's going to be
of Congress. But we better watch them because the people,
and there's a difference the people that are eligible for
mass deportation, meaning they're actually been convicted of crimes, they
have overstayed, they've been ordered to leave, right, I'm not
(19:50):
talking about just someone that broke in. In general, there's
one point seven million of them in Texas, there's more
than one hundred thousand in Tennessee, more than fifty thousand
in Arkansas. And I'm just going around the country so
you understand just how massive these numbers are. Six hundred
thousand in New York State alone, about a million in
(20:15):
Florida alone, three hundred and seventy five thousand that are
eligible for immediate deportation. I mean, they've already had the
DAN in court, they've already been convicted of crimes, they've
already missed their court dates, they've already been gone through
the system. Three hundred and seventy five thousand Georgia, thirty
thousand in Mississippi, fifty five thousand in Alabama, Louisiana forty
(20:38):
five thousand, more than two million in California. By the way,
that are quote eligible to be deported instantly. Look at
a place as far away from the border as you
can get, Washington State. They're over two hundred thousand illegal
immigrants are that are eligible to be mass deported immediately.
(20:58):
When we're talking about this being a mass deportation problem,
like an issue, it is Colorado, for example, one hundred
and seventy five thousand, Illinois, four hundred thousand, Minnesota more
than one hundred thousand. So this is no longer a
border issue, a border town issue. This is the entire country,
(21:20):
all over the place, and these are the numbers to
be they're eligible right now, Okay, like at this exact moment,
who've already had their day in court, who have committed crimes,
who've been convicted of committing crimes. And this doesn't count
all the illegal immigrants in this country, clearly from the
numbers I'm telling you, but there's one point seven million
in Texas right now that are criminals in a very
(21:43):
real sense that need to be gone, a million in Florida,
two hundred thousand in Washington State, two million out of California.
This is what they've done destroy this country, and they're
trying to fundamentally change this country by destroying it.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I want you to hear.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Also, when Senator Ted Cruz had to say about all this,
we had a conversation for the podcast I do with him,
Vertic with Ted Cruz, and I want you to hear
part of what he had to say.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Take a listen. All right, so let's go to the border.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And this might be one of the biggest just asinine
middle fingers from this administration. I don't know how you
want to categorize this one, but when I saw this report,
it actually made me angry. And that is that the
Biden administration is saying, Hey, we don't respect the voters.
We do not respect that the American people decided we
want security at our southern border.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
And what are they doing to stick it to you?
They're saying, all right, watch this.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We're going to sell pieces of the border wall that
have not been erected yet, just to say screw you
to the American people.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
You know, I wish what you were saying was hyperbole.
I wish it was an exaggeration, but it's not. The
Daily Wire broke this story, and it's an exclusive story
that is just it's stunning, it's infuriating. Here's the headline exclusive,
Biden races to sell off border wall parts before Trump
takes office. The goal is to move all of it
(23:08):
off the border before Christmas. An Arizona Border Patrol agent
tells the Daily Wire, let me read from this story.
The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul
a massive amount of border wall materials away from the
southern border to be sold off in a government auction
on apparent effort to hinder President elect Trump's efforts to
(23:28):
secure the border. The Daily Wire has learned videos obtained
exclusively by the Daily Wire from a US Customs and
Border Patrol agent show unused sections of the wall being
hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a
section of the border just south of Tucson, a hotspot
for illegal crossings during the Biden administration. The agent estimates
(23:50):
that up to a half mile per day of unused
border wall is being moved. This is not a small amount,
this is a massive amount. Continuing the quote quote, they
are taking it from three stations, Nogalis, Tucson, and three points.
The Border patrol agent, who was granted anonymities speak freely,
told the Daily Wire the goal is to move it
(24:11):
all off the border before Christmas. And here's something If
that doesn't make you furious, listen, listen, listen to this.
The auction website shows that sales occurred as recently as
December fourth for precisely the types of materials being pulled
off the border. Gov Planet has online auction set for
(24:35):
December eleventh and December eighteenth for more border wall material,
which is listed on the company's website as quote thirty
two point nine to one feet by seven point nine
to one feet steel bollered wall sections with grout. The
bidding for each section of wall panels is set to
begin at five dollars according to the website, and and
(25:02):
this article has multiple screenshots showing showing these being sold
for five bucks apiece. I got to say, we talked
in the first segment about the arrogance and unaccountability of
the Biden Justice Department, of the Biden FBI. This is,
at the end of the day, that identical arrogance, and
it's an arrogance of Joe Biden, of Kamala Harris, of
(25:25):
Alejandro Majorcis, of Merrick Garland, and let's be clear of
Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats and congressional Democrats. Every
person in America knows that the voters of America voted
to secure the border. They want that to happen. And
you know what the Democrats are saying on the way out,
screw you. We don't care, we don't care about the voters.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And what we're gonna do.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
If Trump's gonna build the border wall, We're gonna make
it that much more expensive because we are so bitterly
ideological that we will openly defy the will of the voters.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
And let's just be honest about the logic.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
If you're just talking about that, the logical math that
you do here, there's no doubt that the Biden administration
knows that this wall will be used. And if they
do sell it all off before Christmas at five dollars
a panel, that this is going to have to be
repurchased at a much higher price because they just sold
(26:23):
what we had purchased before that has not been used and.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It will be used and it will be done.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So this is just trying to make the American taxpayer
suffer a little bit and to say we can't stand
you and what you guys just voted for. This is
a retribution for you voting them out of office and
their way of sticking it to the American voter and taxpayer.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Well, that's right now. I will say there's an aspect
of this story that broke tonight. You and I are
recording this very late at night. It's twelve fifty seven
in the morning, Thursday night, and just this evening, the
Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, a good friend of mine,
went on Laura Ingram Show, and he said the state
of Texas is preparing to buy up the border wall
(27:10):
segments from the Biden administration that they're selling for five
bucks apiece and then donate them back to the Trump administration.
And Dan Patrick says he has up to a billion
dollars of state funds to work with. And let me say,
number one, thank god for Texas. Thank god for Texas stepping.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Up into that leading.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Dan.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
I'm glad you're doing that. But I've got to say also, listen,
I'm going to call on the incoming administration to investigate
whoever made the decision to do this.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And let me let me be clear.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
Let's say you're a government official, Ben and you're pissed
off at the people who are coming in after you.
They're mad at You're mad at the voters because they
elected someone different. And let's say, for example, that you're
running you're running a police department.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Your dad's a cop.
Speaker 11 (27:58):
You're running a police department, and you've got a bunch
of police cars that let's say we're forty grand apiece.
And you're mad because there's a new sheriff that's been elected,
and so you decide to take the forty thousand dollars
police cars. Let's say you got ten of them, and
you go out and say, I'm going to auction the
forty thousand dollars police cars off for five bucks apiece
because you want your successor not to have any police cars.
(28:21):
And so you sell forty thousand dollars police cars for
five bucks apiece. I'm going to tell you right now
that is theft from the taxpayers. The idea. I guarantee
you those segments of the wall. They don't cost five dollars,
they don't cost fifty dollars, they don't cost five hundred dollars,
they don't cost five thousand dollars. And I got to
say it is grotesque, and I am calling right now
(28:44):
for the incoming administration to investigate every person that made
the decision to steal from the American taxpayers because they
are such bitter partisans that they want to deprive the
federal government of assets that the taxpayers paid for. You
don't have the right to do that. It doesn't matter.
(29:04):
Nobody has the right to steal from the federal government.
If you're selling segments of this wall for five bucks apiece, that,
in my view, is absolute theft.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Don't forget share this podcast with your family and friends
on social media. Please write us a five star review
and I will see you back here tomorrow.
There is a lot of talk now about the issue
of illegal immigration in this country, and specifically the fact
that we're now being told that the Biden administration is
trying to sell off parts of the border wall for
as little as and this is not a joke five dollars,
because they know that border wall is going to be used,
(00:21):
and they want to say to the American people that
voted for Donald Trump to secure the border, basically, screw you.
We also now know that there is a divide with
mayors and governors who are Democrats trying to figure out
if they're going to work with the Trump administration or
if they're going to become political martyrs and say no, no, no,
(00:43):
we are a safe haven for a legal immigrant activity,
which includes all the crime that comes with it. Mayor
Adams making it very clear in New York City as
crime is completely out of control and more than seventy
percent of the crimes committed now in New York City
Upper like Times Square in that area, are now being
committed by illegal immigrants. He had a meeting with the
(01:07):
incoming man who's going to be in charge, Tom Homan,
and Democrats are absolutely furious with the New York mayor,
because the New York mayor said this about illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Listen this before, and I'm surprised the way everyone is
attempting to state this is a new coming of Eric Adams.
I've stated this over and over again long before this election,
that this can't be a safe haven of violent individuals.
You have a right, a privilege to live in this country,
(01:40):
and those who want to commit acts of violence, they
are violating that privilege.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They are violating that privilege. New York City can't be
a safe haven for violent individuals. Now, it's very clear
that Mayor Adams is saying I'm going to work with
Donald Trump because he believes his constituents, by the way,
have also had enough. Now there are others that are
going to go the other way, and I think we
(02:08):
know that based on what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm going to go through that list in a moment.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But let me also let you hear when Jessica and
Tarlov and Katie Kuric said on the issue of illegal
immigration and their podcast they were doing and this is
the left, so listen.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
On the immigration front, there was a tendency amongst Democrats,
and especially Democrats were discussing the issues of people who
do interviews are part of the media to minimize it
over the first two and a half years, when there
were a lot of people coming in here, and I
thought that it was a stunt. You know, when they
(02:44):
started bussing migrants they go to markets, vineyards. Yeah, it
was the smartest thing they ever did. Well.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It's interesting because I have a friend who lives in Florida,
and I said, what did you think of Ron DeSantis
and Greg Abbott taking some of these immigrants and moving
them to northern States? And she said, I thought it
was great because nobody really was paying attention before that.
And I do think that this untold story was the
(03:14):
strain on social services and communities, particularly along the border,
this influx, huge influx of immigrants was having and I
think the mainstream media, however you define that these days,
kind of ignored that story to its peril.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That is people that are saying, who are doing a
real assessment of this last election, And I give credit
to both of those people that you just heard. They're
being honest. They're saying, we got this wrong. This was
a really bad move. We made a mistake. It was
really smart what they did it made sense what they
(03:53):
were doing. And so you now have this big fight
back and forth where there are some these mayors, for example,
those that are in Chicago and the governor of Illinois.
You're like, we're still going to stick it to Donald
Trump and we're not going to budge.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, there's two things that are going to happen because
of that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Number one what's going to happen is illegal immigrants are
going to run once Trump gets into office, if not before,
when they see the crackdown happen, they are going to
run to the cities like Denver, Colorado, and Chicago, Illinois
where they quote feel safe. Tom Homan saying this on
Fox and Friends about all that he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Okay, I got a feeling it was not the mayor
of Chicago because you just mentioned Mayor Johnson. I know
you were in Chicago on Monday and you said that
your deportation plan is going to start in a big
way in Chicago, and you said the governor and the
mayor can either help you or get out of the way.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But you also.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Said if he meaning the mayor, if he impedes us,
if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien, I
will prosecute him. So you will not only go after
the illegal migrants. You may go after some mayors who
aren't helping.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
If they step over that line, they can sit back
and watch us, which again I find incredible. You don't
want to take public safety threat tidy community to help us.
But there are laws on the books that we will
we will prosecute. It's eighteen USC. One to eleven impeding
a federal law enforce officers of felony Title eight, and
I say it's called thirteen twenty four. Trumply, if you
(05:37):
knowingly conceal or harbor antle alien from ice, that is
a felony. When I was an agent a long time ago,
I've arrested US citizens for harboring an alien their holding
or place of employment. If I can do it to
a citizen, why can't I do it to a politician
who's going to actively getting our way preventives from doing
our job.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Now you hear what he said there, and it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
These other governor and mayors are going to have to
decide are they going to dig in or are they
going to abide by the law.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Now you gotta understand this is about abiding by the law.
This is all about abiding by the law.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And Tom Homan praised the New York Mayor Adams after
meeting with him, and he said he saw the cop
in him and he's basically saying, look, be smart, protect
your citizens.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This doesn't need or have to be political.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Mayor Eric Adams has led you to believe that he's
in to help you.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Absolutely. Now I've been calling Mayor Adams off of two
years saying if he got it was like being a
cop and became a politician because it wasn't taking enough
action on public safety in the city when it comes
to illegal aliens. Yesday, I saw a complete one eighty.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I saw the cop and him.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
And he has promised to work with us to target violent, criminal,
illegal aliens in this city and to help us find
over three hundred thousand missing children that this administration released
on better sponsors. That's truck, a cord and muscles. So
he's promised partnership. He promised that he's going to write
some to get some of the stuff done and overturn
some damage that Bill Blazo did. We're talking about getting
(07:05):
back into Rikers Island where we used to have agents
so people don't get released. We're talking about having agents,
a signing the precincts right and then release them straight
to the street. On this Baire reform, maw give them
to my agents to take care of. So we promised
to put two steps together and work out the details.
But yesterday he's all in. What made him change, I
think the tragedies we've seen the last year or two.
(07:27):
I think you know, whether it's Lake and Road, and
we actually talked about Lake and Roddy yesterday because Lake
and Ridley was a.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Rest in the city.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
If we would have had a better Lake operation, yeah
or killer we had a better relationship here, he would
have never got to Georgia and she'd probably liked today.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So we talked about this.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
So, like I said, yesterday, I saw Eric Adams' career
cop and he really cares about public safety of the
city and he wants who he can and he's willing
to take the hit from the left to do it
because it's the.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Right thing to do.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
He's put in public safety over politics, and I thought, yes,
he was.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
A great m that should be every city.
Speaker 9 (08:01):
Because I don't know if people understand this, but when
there's a detainer.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We're talking about criminals only. This is only criminals.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
If you're asking local law.
Speaker 9 (08:09):
Enforcement for help, it's because someone has broke the law
in some way.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We're not talking about although that is a part of deportation.
Speaker 10 (08:17):
But your cooperation for every major city is only talking
about the criminal aliens, right, And.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
That's what we talked about yesterday. I said, Look, I
don't I'm not looking for NYPD become immigration officers, you know,
leave that to me. But when it comes to public
safety credits, we should be on the same site. And
that's why it's so angry. Just Chicago mayor, you know,
Governor Prisker and San Diego just passed the most damaging
laws in San Diego that illegal and can you get
(08:43):
rest for rape? And they're going to release them to
the street rather than car ice. So and that's why
I'm angry because I I don't think it's a part.
It should be a purtiseon issue. Republicans, Democrats, any parents.
When it comes to public safety, we're elected mayor or
elected governor doesn't want public safety threats other.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Communities, He's right, what mayor doesn't want public safety threats?
Or governor out of their communities. This is how political
and radicalize the left has become. And you look at
just Tom Homan in the way that he is describing
now what he's up against, that if you're breaking the law,
(09:21):
there should be consequence for breaking the law. That includes
if you're an elected official. What it does mean is
doing what Tom said, we have to do to work
with anybody. I want to obey the law, and I
want to get the people out who are committing crimes
from your cities and from your states.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
There was a I'll give you another example.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
A drunk illegal immigrant kills a seven year old months
after he was released.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
From a ice detainer.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
This coming out on Fox News, and this is what's
happening in this country because of the Biden administration and
then these sanctuary cities and sanctuary governors who are refusing
to work with the federal government.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Plus a seven year old girl killed by an illegal
immigrant driving drunk in Texas.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
You came over here illegal, so that means you don't
follow the LAO and you think that you're above the LAO.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Ivery was everybody's like you. When she walked in a room,
she just lit the room up.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
The Venezuelan national charge with intoxicated manslaughter, was released from
custody just two months ago after assaulting a member of
his family. Christina Coleman is live in LA with more
on this heartrending story. Christina, Good Evening, Hi, get even mean?
Speaker 9 (10:43):
Tracey has such a tragedy that Venezuelan migrant is accused
of killing seven year old Ivory Smith and a late
night drunk driving accident in Houston. Her family is absolutely devastated.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We just want her here.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
We want to see those smiles back on her face,
back on our family space and will never be the same.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Up North, democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams and
incoming borders are Tom Holman met up today and discuss
criminal migrants. The two apparently reached some common ground. Holman
says it was a great meeting today.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
He proved that as a mayor in New York City
he's more concerned with public safety than politics. I wish
the mayor of Chicago and San Diego City Council and
Governor Pritzker. I wish they'd all take a page out
of the Mayor Eric Adams play.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But we're not going to be a safe haven for
those who commit repeated violent crimes.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
And speaking of Chicago, as you heard already in the show,
residents their voice, their anger over how leaders and their
sanctuary city are handling the migrant crisis. More than one
point four million illegal immigrants are currently in the US
with final orders of removal. The majority of them are
from Mexico and the Northern tri Angle countries in Central America, Juanmala, Honduras,
(12:03):
and El Salvador.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Trace a lot of people, a lot of people, Christina,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You hear that story and it makes me angry because
this was one of those issues. Just like the other
student that was murdered while running in Athens, Georgia, the
University of Georgia. This was a guy that had a
nice detainer. He would have been taken out of this
country if they would have done it the right way.
And this seven year old that got killed by an
(12:28):
illegal immigrants driving drunk in Texas as the victim's aunt's
a very beginning. You came over here illegal, so that
means you don't follow the law, and you don't think
that and you think that you are above the law. Ivory,
referring to the seven year old, was everybody's life. When
she walked in the room, she just lit up the room.
And it's another Venezuelan national charged with intoxicated manslaughter was
(12:52):
released from Cussey just two months ago after assaulting a
member of his family. These are the violent criminals that
do not deserve to stay in this country. These are
the violent criminals that should have never been allowed into
this country. Which brings me back to what I said
about the border wall. And the most shocking part of
(13:12):
all of this is the fact that we now know
for a fact that the Biden administration is so angry
that they lost the election, and the deep state is
so angry, and the Department of Home in Security is
so angry that the border is going to be controlled,
that they're now just saying screw you to the American
tax payers because they're trying to sell border wall segments,
(13:34):
auctioning them off for as little as five dollars a segment,
knowing they'd have to be rebought by the taxpayers all
over again. The Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick blowing the
whistle on this, saying this to Laura Ingram about what's
happening now.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
We mean business in Texas and Tom Holmans means business
and President Trump means business. And I don't know if
you heard the latest today, Laura, but Joe Biden is
now hauling off the border wall that's been lying down
for years, and he walked wants to auction it off,
starting at five dollars apiece.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Message to the White House right now.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
I will bid on all of that wall, and we
will buy it in Texas and we will give it
to Donald Trump. So I'm going to find out first
thing in the morning. Where are we going to take
the bid. I've got a billion dollars in my pocket
to do it. I write the budget with Senator Joan Hoffman.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
We have the money.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
We're going to have about six billion in our budget
for bordershipper down.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
The costs don't drive up. The costs only five bucks
of five bucks to the wall. But then I will
go in and buy it all.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
I'm not going to drive Tell you what what does
this tell you about the Biden people there?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
They're essentially green lights.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
There's more people coming in.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
Yeah, they're despicable what they're doing to the American people,
and the American people obviously aren't tolerated. That's why they
were thrown out.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But the idea.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
We've been trying to buy this wall for them from
them for four years and they wouldn't sell it to us.
And you know what, I'm going to check in with
our Department of Public Safety. Maybe we need to start
pulling over these trucks to be sure they don't have
too much weight on those trucks. Maybe these trucks need
to be slowed down. We need to do everything we
can in Texas to stop them. The taxpayers paid for this,
(15:17):
and they want to stop President Trump in thirty eight
or thirty nine days from rebuilding the wall. I want
to This is the legacy of Joe Biden. He lets
off his son, He's letting off all these criminals. He's
doing everything he can with these blue state governors and
mayors to destroy this country. They are traders to this country,
leaving terrorists, leaving murders, leaving rapists.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
In this country.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
And now he wants to sabotage this president before he
takes off. It is disgraceful and discussing. He will go
down as the worst, most despicable president in the history
of this country because no one has done more to
damage this country and hurt American citizens.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
I would agree with you on that.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I mean the fact that they're trying to do this.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
They know that the American people support a border wall,
and they backed it up by voting for it. The
polling shows the majority of the American people are demanding
border wall security, and instead the Biden Administration's like, no, no,
we were right at the very end.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
We're going to bring in trucks.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
We're going to spend a bunch of money at the
very end to sell an auction off for five dollars
pieces of the border wall.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
That's what we're going to do. This is how it works.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We're going to make sure that the border wall is
something you're going to have to buy all over again.
When they tell you they don't believe in democracy through
their actions, believe them. When they fled a country with
millions and millions and millions of illegal immigrants and they
(16:56):
say that they are ashamed of this country, believe them.
Like this is not hard to figure out, folks. They're
telling you what they want to do. They are telling
you just how much they hate this country. Let's talk
about the numbers for a second. And this is the
Biden administration. We've also learned, and I hope everybody that's
(17:17):
listening right now will take the information about to give
you and share it. Okay, so share the podcast, share
it wherever you can, because this is also new intel.
On top of what I just told you, the Biden
administration is waived as many as ten million illegal immigrants
into this country.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Maybe more.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
They are, and this just doesn't count the illegals that
came in before he took office four years ago. So
I want you to understand it's at least two point
five million illegal immigrants and have fled this country every
year they've been in office, if not more. They aren't
living by the way in California, Texas and New York.
They've spread to every corner of America. President Trump was
(17:58):
elected with a mandate to restore law and order, to
give America a real border, secured border, an actual border.
He was also given a mandate to crush the cartels,
which he said he was going to designate his terrorist organizations,
and the flow of drugs and human and sex trafficking
across our border.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
He was elected in essence to end the invasion.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Now I think we all can agree we're not gonna
be able to fix this problem with only a border wall, right, Like,
that's the truth. But securing America, what it does mean
is doing what Tom Homan said we have to do.
We've got to start an unprecedented deportation effort. Now, you
want to know how many illegal immigrants are in every
(18:42):
state by state? We have some new preliminary numbers. I'm
going to give you those in a moment. I want
to get to these numbers. And it's not just the
border states or towns that have illegal immigrants. You can't
bring in as many as they brought in and them
not be everywhere, and they've moved and they've set up shop.
(19:04):
For example, there's one point seven million they believe illegal
immigrants in Texas alone. All right, this is the number
of people that are eligible for mass deportation based on
what they've said. The criteria is there's a lot more
illegals there than just that. I want to be clear
when I'm giving these numbers. But securing America means launching
an unprecedented deportation effort to undo the damage the Biden
(19:28):
administration has done to this country. So it's got to
be the number one priority. I believe it is the
the of Trump, and I believe it's going to be
of Congress. But we better watch them because the people,
and there's a difference the people that are eligible for
mass deportation, meaning they're actually been convicted of crimes, they
have overstayed, they've been ordered to leave, right, I'm not
(19:50):
talking about just someone that broke in. In general, there's
one point seven million of them in Texas, there's more
than one hundred thousand in Tennessee, more than fifty thousand
in Arkansas. And I'm just going around the country so
you understand just how massive these numbers are. Six hundred
thousand in New York State alone, about a million in
(20:15):
Florida alone, three hundred and seventy five thousand that are
eligible for immediate deportation. I mean, they've already had the
DAN in court, they've already been convicted of crimes, they've
already missed their court dates, they've already been gone through
the system. Three hundred and seventy five thousand Georgia, thirty
thousand in Mississippi, fifty five thousand in Alabama, Louisiana forty
(20:38):
five thousand, more than two million in California. By the way,
that are quote eligible to be deported instantly. Look at
a place as far away from the border as you
can get, Washington State. They're over two hundred thousand illegal
immigrants are that are eligible to be mass deported immediately.
(20:58):
When we're talking about this being a mass deportation problem,
like an issue, it is Colorado, for example, one hundred
and seventy five thousand, Illinois, four hundred thousand, Minnesota more
than one hundred thousand. So this is no longer a
border issue, a border town issue. This is the entire country,
(21:20):
all over the place, and these are the numbers to
be they're eligible right now, Okay, like at this exact moment,
who've already had their day in court, who have committed crimes,
who've been convicted of committing crimes. And this doesn't count
all the illegal immigrants in this country, clearly from the
numbers I'm telling you, but there's one point seven million
in Texas right now that are criminals in a very
(21:43):
real sense that need to be gone, a million in Florida,
two hundred thousand in Washington State, two million out of California.
This is what they've done destroy this country, and they're
trying to fundamentally change this country by destroying it.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I want you to hear.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Also, when Senator Ted Cruz had to say about all this,
we had a conversation for the podcast I do with him,
Vertic with Ted Cruz, and I want you to hear
part of what he had to say.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Take a listen. All right, so let's go to the border.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And this might be one of the biggest just asinine
middle fingers from this administration. I don't know how you
want to categorize this one, but when I saw this report,
it actually made me angry. And that is that the
Biden administration is saying, Hey, we don't respect the voters.
We do not respect that the American people decided we
want security at our southern border.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
And what are they doing to stick it to you?
They're saying, all right, watch this.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We're going to sell pieces of the border wall that
have not been erected yet, just to say screw you
to the American people.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
You know, I wish what you were saying was hyperbole.
I wish it was an exaggeration, but it's not. The
Daily Wire broke this story, and it's an exclusive story
that is just it's stunning, it's infuriating. Here's the headline exclusive,
Biden races to sell off border wall parts before Trump
takes office. The goal is to move all of it
(23:08):
off the border before Christmas. An Arizona Border Patrol agent
tells the Daily Wire, let me read from this story.
The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul
a massive amount of border wall materials away from the
southern border to be sold off in a government auction
on apparent effort to hinder President elect Trump's efforts to
(23:28):
secure the border. The Daily Wire has learned videos obtained
exclusively by the Daily Wire from a US Customs and
Border Patrol agent show unused sections of the wall being
hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a
section of the border just south of Tucson, a hotspot
for illegal crossings during the Biden administration. The agent estimates
(23:50):
that up to a half mile per day of unused
border wall is being moved. This is not a small amount,
this is a massive amount. Continuing the quote quote, they
are taking it from three stations, Nogalis, Tucson, and three points.
The Border patrol agent, who was granted anonymities speak freely,
told the Daily Wire the goal is to move it
(24:11):
all off the border before Christmas. And here's something If
that doesn't make you furious, listen, listen, listen to this.
The auction website shows that sales occurred as recently as
December fourth for precisely the types of materials being pulled
off the border. Gov Planet has online auction set for
(24:35):
December eleventh and December eighteenth for more border wall material,
which is listed on the company's website as quote thirty
two point nine to one feet by seven point nine
to one feet steel bollered wall sections with grout. The
bidding for each section of wall panels is set to
begin at five dollars according to the website, and and
(25:02):
this article has multiple screenshots showing showing these being sold
for five bucks apiece. I got to say, we talked
in the first segment about the arrogance and unaccountability of
the Biden Justice Department, of the Biden FBI. This is,
at the end of the day, that identical arrogance, and
it's an arrogance of Joe Biden, of Kamala Harris, of
(25:25):
Alejandro Majorcis, of Merrick Garland, and let's be clear of
Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats and congressional Democrats. Every
person in America knows that the voters of America voted
to secure the border. They want that to happen. And
you know what the Democrats are saying on the way out,
screw you. We don't care, we don't care about the voters.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And what we're gonna do.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
If Trump's gonna build the border wall, We're gonna make
it that much more expensive because we are so bitterly
ideological that we will openly defy the will of the voters.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
And let's just be honest about the logic.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
If you're just talking about that, the logical math that
you do here, there's no doubt that the Biden administration
knows that this wall will be used. And if they
do sell it all off before Christmas at five dollars
a panel, that this is going to have to be
repurchased at a much higher price because they just sold
(26:23):
what we had purchased before that has not been used and.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It will be used and it will be done.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So this is just trying to make the American taxpayer
suffer a little bit and to say we can't stand
you and what you guys just voted for. This is
a retribution for you voting them out of office and
their way of sticking it to the American voter and taxpayer.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Well, that's right now. I will say there's an aspect
of this story that broke tonight. You and I are
recording this very late at night. It's twelve fifty seven
in the morning, Thursday night, and just this evening, the
Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Dan Patrick, a good friend of mine,
went on Laura Ingram Show, and he said the state
of Texas is preparing to buy up the border wall
(27:10):
segments from the Biden administration that they're selling for five
bucks apiece and then donate them back to the Trump administration.
And Dan Patrick says he has up to a billion
dollars of state funds to work with. And let me say,
number one, thank god for Texas. Thank god for Texas stepping.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Up into that leading.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Dan.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
I'm glad you're doing that. But I've got to say also, listen,
I'm going to call on the incoming administration to investigate
whoever made the decision to do this.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And let me let me be clear.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
Let's say you're a government official, Ben and you're pissed
off at the people who are coming in after you.
They're mad at You're mad at the voters because they
elected someone different. And let's say, for example, that you're
running you're running a police department.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Your dad's a cop.
Speaker 11 (27:58):
You're running a police department, and you've got a bunch
of police cars that let's say we're forty grand apiece.
And you're mad because there's a new sheriff that's been elected,
and so you decide to take the forty thousand dollars
police cars. Let's say you got ten of them, and
you go out and say, I'm going to auction the
forty thousand dollars police cars off for five bucks apiece
because you want your successor not to have any police cars.
(28:21):
And so you sell forty thousand dollars police cars for
five bucks apiece. I'm going to tell you right now
that is theft from the taxpayers. The idea. I guarantee
you those segments of the wall. They don't cost five dollars,
they don't cost fifty dollars, they don't cost five hundred dollars,
they don't cost five thousand dollars. And I got to
say it is grotesque, and I am calling right now
(28:44):
for the incoming administration to investigate every person that made
the decision to steal from the American taxpayers because they
are such bitter partisans that they want to deprive the
federal government of assets that the taxpayers paid for. You
don't have the right to do that. It doesn't matter.
(29:04):
Nobody has the right to steal from the federal government.
If you're selling segments of this wall for five bucks apiece, that,
in my view, is absolute theft.
