Speaker 3 (02:16):
Story number one.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Former President Joe Biden's recent diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer
has ignited significant political controversy and public debate, as it should,
over whether his condition was concealed during his presidency. The diagnosis,
announce on the eighteenth, revealed that Biden had states four
prostate cancer that a metastasizers bone at a glease and
(02:41):
score of nine, indicating a highly aggressive form of the disease. Now,
this revelation has led to widespread scrutiny regarding the timing
and transparency of his health disclosures. Critics, now including former
President Donald Trump, of question whether Biden and his medical
team were aware of the cancer earlier and chose to
(03:02):
withhold the information from the public, just like they did
with his cognitive decline. Trump has called for an investigation
into the matter, suggesting that the concealment of such a
serious health issue could have national security implications as well,
and that's not all Medical experts have expressed surprise that
such an advanced cancer was not detected earlier, especially given
(03:25):
Biden's access to premier healthcare as the president. Some have
pointed out that prostate cancer typically develops over many years,
raising serious questions now about the frequency and the thoroughness
of Biden's medical evaluations, or if they knew what was
going on and they just decided to conceal it from
the American people. The controversy has also been fueled by
(03:49):
the release of the new book Original Sin, which alleges
that Biden's cognitive decline began before he even took office
and was concealed by all of his top advice and
cabinet members. The book suggests as health issues may have
influenced his decision making and leadership during his presidency. In
(04:10):
response to the allegations, a spokesman for Biden's personal office
stated that prior to the recent diagnosis, Biden had not
been diagnosed.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
With prostate cancer.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Despite all of that, many Americans are just not believing
what they're hearing, with good reason and with real doubt.
Even MSNBC and Joe Scarborough had a conversation with a
doctor about this whole episode with Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Here's what they said.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You're a noncologist, obviously incredibly respected. You believe that it
is likely. Just for those just tuning in, you believe
it is likely if this prostate cancer has spread to
the bone, that he could have had it for up
(04:58):
to a decade, but certainly likely. Would it be fair
to say it's likely to have had this for at
least several years.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Oh more than several years. You don't get prostitutions. I
just want to stop you. So your this is this
is not speculation.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
If you have prostate cancer that has spread to the bone,
then he's most certainly you were saying, had it when
he was president of the United States.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Oh, yeah, he did not develop it in the last
one hundred two hundred days.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
He had it while he was president. He probably had it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
At the start of his presidency in.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yes, that I don't think there's any disagreement about that.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
That's coming from MSNBC saying that there's no doubt he
had it probably before he became president. CBS this morning
also getting in on the action as well, talking to
their medical experts, and here's what was said.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
So it took a while to do that would need
be getting regular checkups. Yeah, so it depends on the
kind of cancer you're talking about here. We do know
it's quite aggressive. Again, so the time in which it
would take to spread to the bones is going to
be shorter than with a less aggressive cancer, and he's
eighty two. Normally, doctors will stop screening for prostate cancer
at seventy five or so because after that the prostate
(06:24):
cancers you typically pick up are very slow growing, and
so the harms of all of the testing and treatment
for something that may not kill you. You know, you're
talking about risk pursus benefit. It may not be worth
the risk.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Isn't there a blood test that men can take to
know if they have an issue that might warrant further examination.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So there's something that we call a PSA test, but
that can also be indicative of many different things. It
could just be you have an enlarged prostate. Maybe you
have a low grade infection in the prostate. There are
many things that can cause that, and so this is
again why after a certain age doctors will typically stop
screw for prostate cancer. Wow, but in his case, it's
not screening. It's important to emphasize this was diagnostic because
(07:07):
he had urinary symptoms and so there was a reason
to do more testing.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
One thing is for sure.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The questions around the honesty of Biden, his team, his
cabinet and the administration are all on full display. Is
now even the mainstream media is running away from him
and admitting that this team is basically filled with pathological liars,
And there's no reason to believe the story that they're
selling that this is something that maybe just happened. Instead,
(07:34):
there's real reasons to question when did they know it
and how long have they been concealing it from the
American people.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Now?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Story number two, there is.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
One man that is fighting tooth and nail to keep
all Americans safe and getting rid of violent criminals that
are in this country illegally. His name is Tom Homan
and he's the Borders are And I was able to
sit down with him and ask him several questions about
exactly where we are and the fight to get rid
of so many people that broke in this country illegally.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
And here is what he had to say.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You mentioned the budget a moment ago, and how important
it is to have the budget for you guys to
continue your job.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Explain for everyone listening.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Is that referencing that the big beautiful bill and what
is in there that you need so much to continue
to do your job at the border?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Well, we want to make the border secure permanently. So
we need more infrastructure, right, So we need to finish
building that wall. Now, let's be clear, every place they
build a border barrier, illegal migrations went down, illegal drug
flow went down, but most important, walls saved lives. Women
and children can't get over that wall, the most vulnerable,
so they go to a place, well, there's not a
wall on. What's waiting on them the men and women
(08:41):
of the border patrol first of all, So it's the
ball saves lives. So we need to finish the border barrier.
We need money to finish the technology within the existing
border wall, because not only did Present buy and stop
the construction of the wall, he stopped adding the technology
in that smart wall, technology that lets us know how
someone climbs that wall, touch this wall, dig under that wall.
Technology where borbitual agents in the middle of nowhere can
(09:03):
get on the radio and use the walls repeater to
talk to other agents for help. There are some places
on the Sounthern border where they lose all communications, so
all that technology needs to be done. More technology yet,
port of entries to make sure no ventano's coming through,
and as far as the interire enforcement. We need beds
right now, we got about fifty two thousand people in detention.
(09:23):
We're funder that thirty four thousand ICE is already in
the hole. We need about one hundred thousand beds because
everybody we arrest needs a bet. We just don't rest
somebody in New York City and put them on a
plane and lead. We got to detain them for several
days or several weeks to get travel doctors, get flight
flight arrangements, flight finances. So we need bets. So we
need you know, so this budget, that depending budget right now,
(09:44):
the Big Beautiful Bill will give us some money fill
with beds. They're going to give us thousands of more
borbitual license, thousands more ICE agents. It's going to give
ICE a budget to bring in more contracts up. What
I mean by that badgers and guns shouldn't be sitting
at a desk doing reports of processing. They shouldn't be
sitting at a desk doing travel documents and all the
(10:05):
administrative duties that occur within the ICE. You can have
a contract to sitting there doing that work. Give that
badging gun, get them out on the street to arrest.
The public safety thrusts and national security threats, so we
needed the money. Like I said, we're doing more than
Biden did, but Biden wasn't doing anything. We need to
do ten times more than buying it too, not three
times more. And I'll leave you with this. We got
(10:26):
seven hundred thousand illegal aliens in this country with a
criminal conviction walking the streets of this country. We got
to get them. We got to gain it quickly. We
got one point four man illegal aliens who do headdu
process that great taxpayer expense, were ordered removed by a
federal judge and didn't leave, and they become fusitives. We
got a lot of work to do, and we need
money to do more. We're doing good, but more money
(10:47):
we have, the more we can do.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Tom, you mentioned finding them all. Let's talk about sanctuary
cities for a second. It's very clear Democrats are not
backing off of that. How dangerous is the policy? And
and and who is being harbored in these cities that
are refusing to work with you guys? Will there be accountability?
Are they harboring h M S thirteen gang members and
(11:11):
domestic terrafts, foreign terrists? Uh, those that are putting the
fetnel out in society. How dangerous are these cities, Well, they're.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
The dangerous, the dangerous for everybody because in the sanctuary
city means you don't have access to the jail rust
a bad guy, public safety threat in the safety and
security of the jail, where the alien safe, the officers safe,
on the public safe. When sanctuary cities knowingly released a
public safety UH threat back in the street, it certainly
puts the community at risk. He even puts the alien
(11:39):
at risk because anything can happen during the street arrest.
And great, it puts the officer that great arrest because
now we've got arrest a criminal alien, public safety threat
on his turf. We has access to who knows what weapons.
It's very dangerous. And yes, we'll host sanctuary cities accountable.
Its Pam Binding has already fought lawsuits against several uh.
We're we're we're working with dj now again. We want
(12:00):
we want where's that right, where's that where's that line?
When do you cross that line? You can sit there
and watch Ice do your job. Because here's what irritates
me the most. I don't care what party you're in.
If you're an elected mayor, elect a city council, person
or elected governor your number one responsibility. It's the safety
(12:21):
and security of your neighborhoods, your communities. ICE has been
cleared from the beginning with President Trump. We're going to
prioritize public safety threats and national security threats. Why will
you not help us make your community safer. There's no
downside on that. And the sanctuary city is one to
argue what we're a sanctuary city because we want victims
and witnesses of crime, if they're illegally the United States,
(12:44):
to feel comfortable coming to the law enforcement without fear
of working with ICE. That is a bunch of crap.
Victims and witnesses of crime don't want the bad guy
in the neighborhood either. And as far as the illegal
alien community, I'll say this, despite being here illegally, many
are god fearing family people. They don't want a preteror
in they neighborhood either. They don't want someone convicted DUI
(13:06):
ten times driving to their neighborhood either. So you know,
if you go to the immigrant community and ask them
one simple question, would you rather have ICE operating in
the jail or in your community? What do you think
they're going to say? They're going to say to jail,
so sanctuouses will be held accountable. Matter of fact, we're
reissuing the ICE detainer. We just changed the new ICE detainer.
We're letting them black and white. Let them know this
person is a designated terrorist, this person is a designated
(13:29):
return felon. We're gonna let them know exactly who they
were detaining based on biographic and biometric information and see
what they do. Are they going to violate relation Riley Act,
Then we'll go out to prosecution. Now they're going to
know me at least a terrorist, Then we're going to
go out to prosecution. So it's about to get a
lot tougher, and it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I want to go back to accountability for a second time,
and I want to ask you there are a lot
of people that believe that there were laws that were
broken deliberately in the last administration. They knew they were
breaking the law. One of the those would be former
Homeland Security Secretary. My orc is that you mentioned a
moment ago. Should he be criminally prosecuted for his role
in the border crisis if it was as deliberate as
(14:10):
it now seems.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Look, I think what he did was borderline trees in US.
I'm not an attorney, I'm not a prosecutor, but what
he did, he did more damage to this country. Him
and the Biden administration. What they did to this country,
I can tell you when they opened that border up,
sex trafficking women should to increase tenfold. A record number
of migrants died making that journey, over four thousand, A
(14:35):
record number of Americans died from fatanah that come across
that open border. And it's just what he calls this
country and from a national securities perspective, because here's what
his orders were, process quick, release quick. They didn't care
about the crisis. They cared about the optics of the crisis.
If there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here. So
(14:57):
border trades were processed as quick as they could and
releases as quicker as they could. And there's been several
instances where they released so quickly the FBI scan didn't
come back and and it came back hot. Actually they
already been released. They came back hot as a non
inspected terrorist. So yeah, he what he did was unconsortable.
What he did is in my opinion, borderline trees, and
(15:20):
is he should be held accountable because a lot of
deaths occurred under his watch? And look at like like
Sandra Cruz said a few minutes ago, right now, ninety
six percent decline and illegal immigration when ninety six percent
less people are coming. How many women aren't being raped?
How many children aren't dying crossing that border. How many
no inspected terists aren't getting in the country. How many
(15:40):
pounds of fatanyl is not getting the country? What are
you going to see in the President Trump's administration? Vatanyl deaths,
a decrease, sex trafficking with decrease, smuggling with decrease, and
no inspected terrorsts. They got no open night anymore. Now
that we've got the border secure, every single borders religion
is on the lying on patrol. During his National security
duty under Joe Biden, it was an average most days,
(16:02):
an average seventy percent seven zero seventy percent of agents
were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making
baby formula, making hospital runs. The last time I went
down there before the election, I talked to hundreds of
boarder plays and told me to hang on, hang on,
changes coming. I really think pus Trump's going to win,
but they told me, no, we're sick of being tour station.
We're sick of being uber drivers. We processed and delivered
(16:26):
these people, that is the very same people who pay
for their smuggling. They couldn't recruit. They couldn't people were quitting.
They were quit before it even else well for retirement.
They couldn't read recruiting numbers. You know, last month Ice
I'm excusing Borbitrow had the highest recruiting numbers and the
history of that agency just last month.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I gotta say, there's so many Americans that are so
thankful that Donald Trump picked Tom Homan to lead in
this role.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
And it's also very clear that he's not stopping.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
He is going to continue to fight for Americans and
make sure that these vibe criminals and those that are
human trafficking, sex trafficking, bringing in FETNOH at record numbers,
and killing American citizens are out of this country for good.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
He also is fighting hard to secure our southern border.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
And continued to build the Wall, a promise that Donald
Trump said, We'll be done while he's in office during
the next four years.

cabinet and the administration are all on full display. Is
now even the mainstream media is running away from him
and admitting that this team is basically filled with pathological liars,
And there's no reason to believe the story that they're
selling that this is something that maybe just happened. Instead,
(07:34):
there's real reasons to question when did they know it
and how long have they been concealing it from the
American people.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Now?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Story number two, there is.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
One man that is fighting tooth and nail to keep
all Americans safe and getting rid of violent criminals that
are in this country illegally. His name is Tom Homan
and he's the Borders are And I was able to
sit down with him and ask him several questions about
exactly where we are and the fight to get rid
of so many people that broke in this country illegally.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
And here is what he had to say.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
You mentioned the budget a moment ago, and how important
it is to have the budget for you guys to
continue your job.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Explain for everyone listening.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Is that referencing that the big beautiful bill and what
is in there that you need so much to continue
to do your job at the border?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Well, we want to make the border secure permanently. So
we need more infrastructure, right, So we need to finish
building that wall. Now, let's be clear, every place they
build a border barrier, illegal migrations went down, illegal drug
flow went down, but most important, walls saved lives. Women
and children can't get over that wall, the most vulnerable,
so they go to a place, well, there's not a
wall on. What's waiting on them the men and women
(08:41):
of the border patrol first of all, So it's the
ball saves lives. So we need to finish the border barrier.
We need money to finish the technology within the existing
border wall, because not only did Present buy and stop
the construction of the wall, he stopped adding the technology
in that smart wall, technology that lets us know how
someone climbs that wall, touch this wall, dig under that wall.
Technology where borbitual agents in the middle of nowhere can
(09:03):
get on the radio and use the walls repeater to
talk to other agents for help. There are some places
on the Sounthern border where they lose all communications, so
all that technology needs to be done. More technology yet,
port of entries to make sure no ventano's coming through,
and as far as the interire enforcement. We need beds
right now, we got about fifty two thousand people in detention.
(09:23):
We're funder that thirty four thousand ICE is already in
the hole. We need about one hundred thousand beds because
everybody we arrest needs a bet. We just don't rest
somebody in New York City and put them on a
plane and lead. We got to detain them for several
days or several weeks to get travel doctors, get flight
flight arrangements, flight finances. So we need bets. So we
need you know, so this budget, that depending budget right now,
(09:44):
the Big Beautiful Bill will give us some money fill
with beds. They're going to give us thousands of more
borbitual license, thousands more ICE agents. It's going to give
ICE a budget to bring in more contracts up. What
I mean by that badgers and guns shouldn't be sitting
at a desk doing reports of processing. They shouldn't be
sitting at a desk doing travel documents and all the
(10:05):
administrative duties that occur within the ICE. You can have
a contract to sitting there doing that work. Give that
badging gun, get them out on the street to arrest.
The public safety thrusts and national security threats, so we
needed the money. Like I said, we're doing more than
Biden did, but Biden wasn't doing anything. We need to
do ten times more than buying it too, not three
times more. And I'll leave you with this. We got
(10:26):
seven hundred thousand illegal aliens in this country with a
criminal conviction walking the streets of this country. We got
to get them. We got to gain it quickly. We
got one point four man illegal aliens who do headdu
process that great taxpayer expense, were ordered removed by a
federal judge and didn't leave, and they become fusitives. We
got a lot of work to do, and we need
money to do more. We're doing good, but more money
(10:47):
we have, the more we can do.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Tom, you mentioned finding them all. Let's talk about sanctuary
cities for a second. It's very clear Democrats are not
backing off of that. How dangerous is the policy? And
and and who is being harbored in these cities that
are refusing to work with you guys? Will there be accountability?
Are they harboring h M S thirteen gang members and
(11:11):
domestic terrafts, foreign terrists? Uh, those that are putting the
fetnel out in society. How dangerous are these cities, Well, they're.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
The dangerous, the dangerous for everybody because in the sanctuary
city means you don't have access to the jail rust
a bad guy, public safety threat in the safety and
security of the jail, where the alien safe, the officers safe,
on the public safe. When sanctuary cities knowingly released a
public safety UH threat back in the street, it certainly
puts the community at risk. He even puts the alien
(11:39):
at risk because anything can happen during the street arrest.
And great, it puts the officer that great arrest because
now we've got arrest a criminal alien, public safety threat
on his turf. We has access to who knows what weapons.
It's very dangerous. And yes, we'll host sanctuary cities accountable.
Its Pam Binding has already fought lawsuits against several uh.
We're we're we're working with dj now again. We want
(12:00):
we want where's that right, where's that where's that line?
When do you cross that line? You can sit there
and watch Ice do your job. Because here's what irritates
me the most. I don't care what party you're in.
If you're an elected mayor, elect a city council, person
or elected governor your number one responsibility. It's the safety
(12:21):
and security of your neighborhoods, your communities. ICE has been
cleared from the beginning with President Trump. We're going to
prioritize public safety threats and national security threats. Why will
you not help us make your community safer. There's no
downside on that. And the sanctuary city is one to
argue what we're a sanctuary city because we want victims
and witnesses of crime, if they're illegally the United States,
(12:44):
to feel comfortable coming to the law enforcement without fear
of working with ICE. That is a bunch of crap.
Victims and witnesses of crime don't want the bad guy
in the neighborhood either. And as far as the illegal
alien community, I'll say this, despite being here illegally, many
are god fearing family people. They don't want a preteror
in they neighborhood either. They don't want someone convicted DUI
(13:06):
ten times driving to their neighborhood either. So you know,
if you go to the immigrant community and ask them
one simple question, would you rather have ICE operating in
the jail or in your community? What do you think
they're going to say? They're going to say to jail,
so sanctuouses will be held accountable. Matter of fact, we're
reissuing the ICE detainer. We just changed the new ICE detainer.
We're letting them black and white. Let them know this
person is a designated terrorist, this person is a designated
(13:29):
return felon. We're gonna let them know exactly who they
were detaining based on biographic and biometric information and see
what they do. Are they going to violate relation Riley Act,
Then we'll go out to prosecution. Now they're going to
know me at least a terrorist, Then we're going to
go out to prosecution. So it's about to get a
lot tougher, and it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I want to go back to accountability for a second time,
and I want to ask you there are a lot
of people that believe that there were laws that were
broken deliberately in the last administration. They knew they were
breaking the law. One of the those would be former
Homeland Security Secretary. My orc is that you mentioned a
moment ago. Should he be criminally prosecuted for his role
in the border crisis if it was as deliberate as
(14:10):
it now seems.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Look, I think what he did was borderline trees in US.
I'm not an attorney, I'm not a prosecutor, but what
he did, he did more damage to this country. Him
and the Biden administration. What they did to this country,
I can tell you when they opened that border up,
sex trafficking women should to increase tenfold. A record number
of migrants died making that journey, over four thousand, A
(14:35):
record number of Americans died from fatanah that come across
that open border. And it's just what he calls this
country and from a national securities perspective, because here's what
his orders were, process quick, release quick. They didn't care
about the crisis. They cared about the optics of the crisis.
If there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here. So
(14:57):
border trades were processed as quick as they could and
releases as quicker as they could. And there's been several
instances where they released so quickly the FBI scan didn't
come back and and it came back hot. Actually they
already been released. They came back hot as a non
inspected terrorist. So yeah, he what he did was unconsortable.
What he did is in my opinion, borderline trees, and
(15:20):
is he should be held accountable because a lot of
deaths occurred under his watch? And look at like like
Sandra Cruz said a few minutes ago, right now, ninety
six percent decline and illegal immigration when ninety six percent
less people are coming. How many women aren't being raped?
How many children aren't dying crossing that border. How many
no inspected terists aren't getting in the country. How many
(15:40):
pounds of fatanyl is not getting the country? What are
you going to see in the President Trump's administration? Vatanyl deaths,
a decrease, sex trafficking with decrease, smuggling with decrease, and
no inspected terrorsts. They got no open night anymore. Now
that we've got the border secure, every single borders religion
is on the lying on patrol. During his National security
duty under Joe Biden, it was an average most days,
(16:02):
an average seventy percent seven zero seventy percent of agents
were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making
baby formula, making hospital runs. The last time I went
down there before the election, I talked to hundreds of
boarder plays and told me to hang on, hang on,
changes coming. I really think pus Trump's going to win,
but they told me, no, we're sick of being tour station.
We're sick of being uber drivers. We processed and delivered
(16:26):
these people, that is the very same people who pay
for their smuggling. They couldn't recruit. They couldn't people were quitting.
They were quit before it even else well for retirement.
They couldn't read recruiting numbers. You know, last month Ice
I'm excusing Borbitrow had the highest recruiting numbers and the
history of that agency just last month.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I gotta say, there's so many Americans that are so
thankful that Donald Trump picked Tom Homan to lead in
this role.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
And it's also very clear that he's not stopping.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
He is going to continue to fight for Americans and
make sure that these vibe criminals and those that are
human trafficking, sex trafficking, bringing in FETNOH at record numbers,
and killing American citizens are out of this country for good.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
He also is fighting hard to secure our southern border.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
And continued to build the Wall, a promise that Donald
Trump said, We'll be done while he's in office during
the next four years.
