Speaker 1 (00:01):
Another day, another victory for the Trump administration, this time
as the Supreme Court issued in emergency order permitting the
Trump administration to revoke humanitarian parole protections for more than
five hundred and thirty thousand migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
(00:21):
and Venezuela. Now, these individuals had been granted temporary legal
status under programs that were initiated during the Biden administrations.
They flooded the country with the legal immigrants. They set
up these special protections to allow for millions and millions
of illegals to stay in this country, costing you hundreds
(00:42):
of billions of dollars. Now, this program also allowed them
to live and work in the US for quote two
years due to humanitarian concerns. Well, the Court's decision lifts
a lower courts injunction by an activist judge that blocked
the administration's move, enabling the policy change to proceed while
legal challenges continue in the lower courts.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What does this mean?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Elections have consequences in the President United Its America has
the right to be able to push his agenda forward
that the American people voted for. Now, let's be clear
about the Supreme Court ruling here. Okay, the Supreme Court's
order did not provide a detailed explanation, which is customary
for emergency decisions, but the justices did say the President
(01:26):
could do his job now. Who was in the dissent
none other than Justices Brown Jackson and Sonya Sotomayor. They dissented,
expressing concern over the potential harm quote unquote to the
affected individuals, also know as illegal immigrants and the illegal
immigrant communities. Justice Jackson, for example, emphasized that the decision could,
(01:49):
as she put it up, in the lives and the
livelihoods of nearly a half a million non citizens. So
she's admitting their legal immigrants while their legal claims are
quote pending now. The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary
Christy Nome had previously announced the termination of this program
(02:09):
Cuba Hating, Nicaragua and Venezuela, all of these pro programs
giving recipients quote thirty days to deport the US unless
they qualify for other legal protections.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That is, when an activist federal judge.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
In Boston locked that action, ruling that such a broad
termination required individual case reviews that would obviously take years.
A big victory for the left if it was going
to stand well. The Supreme Court's decision now allows the
administration to proceed with the revocation while the case is
(02:45):
reviewed by the First US Circuit.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Court of Appeals.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now, this ruling again is part of a broader effort
by the Trump administration to reshape US immigration policy. By
the way, that's exactly why Donald Trump was elected, because
he said he was going to get tough on illegal immigration,
while the other administration let in everyone, including terrorists. All right,
so let's just be clear, there's a difference here, and
(03:09):
this is what a lot of this election.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Came down to.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Now, this temporary protection status was a caveat that the
Biden administration used for three hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelans,
for example. Supporters argue these actions reinforce the executive branch's authority,
the president's authority over the issue of immigration, and also
aims to enforce existing laws that were obviously not being
(03:34):
followed by the Biden Harris administration. The left, they're so
obsessed with this, and they're wanting this to be a
quote humanitarian issue, and they say, you can't just kick
out a bunch of people out of this country a
half million plus.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's not fair.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, don't break into America and you wouldn't have to
deal with a fallout. Now, the legal proceedings are going
to continue, and the full implications of the Supreme Court
decision obviously remain to be seen with its ongoing debate.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But what's clear is.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
The Supreme Court said, the President of the United States
of America, right regardless of who it is, has the
right to push their agenda forward and they shouldn't be
held back by a previous administration's agenda.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That is what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Now, let's be clear, the media is also going nuts
over this. CNN's Pamela Brown had on Steven Miller at
the White House to talk about this as a Supreme
Court Their headline, spring court lets Trump in deportation protection
for five hundred thousand migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
That's they got the bottom of the screen. And I
(04:41):
want you to hear how the conversation went. It didn't
go well for Pamela Brown and CNN at all.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Do you think a judge should just rubber stamp what
your White House does? If not, what checks and balances
do you think should be in place for this White House?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Is not the job of a just Court judge to
perform an individual green light or red light on every
single policy that the president takes as the head of
the executive branch. Just think about the premise baked into
your question, respectfully, Pam, you're saying that when the American
people elect a president of the United States of America,
(05:16):
I'm not the.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The well, it's the implication here.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Is the sole head of the executive branch.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Let me finish, Let me finish. I will answer the
question happily.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But look, when you have these kinds of lazy assumptions
built into questions, that makes it hard to have a construction.
You said, no, you said, you said, is it my expectation?
He says, you said, is it my expectation? It's not
just you, it's the whole media.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
In other words, when.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You know your sentence, it is a completely literal question
you say, and I will gladly answer it.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
When you say, do we think district court judges should
rubb or stamp each action? There is a premise that
is built into that that is absurd. The president is
the sole head of the executive branch. He's the only
officer in the entire government that's elected by the entire
American people. Democracy cannot function. In fact, democracy does not
exist at all. If each action the president takes foreign policy, diplomatic, military,
(06:11):
national security has to be individually approved by seven hundred
district court judges.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's democracy.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
So that there's fifteen communists, crazy judges on the court
that each of them, as a team, working together, can
block and freeze each and every executive action.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You listen to Steven Miller's point here, and he's explaining
why the judge made the ruling the way he did
to try to stop Donald Trump, because he's saying, you
got to look at every one of these individually. How
long would it take to look at five hundred thousand
migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Right, they know
that they could play out the clock for the next
four years while.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Trump is in office.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And as he said, when you have these kinds of
lazy assumptions built into questions, that makes it hard to
have a constructive dialogue. Now, by the way, Stephen Miller
wasn't done roasting CNN.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
There.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
CNN also asked a question about the illegal immigrant who
is threatening to kill and was caught threatening to kill
President Donald Trump and then said he was going to
quote self deport after he had finished the job against
Donald Trump. But notice the way that CNN asked the question.
(07:22):
They won't use the word illegal immigrant.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill the president,
promising to self deport after the assassination. CNN reporting shows
that investigators believe the migrant.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Was set up. It was a victim of a setup.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
What is the administration going to do now? And this
is an undocumented immigrant. I do want to note that,
but this was someone who came forward, was a victim
of a crime, and now law enforcement believes.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
He was set up.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Go ahead, well, I want to clarify what you mean.
So we're talking about the same thing. Are you saying
this immigrant was here?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I legally yes, but I am And that's why I
said that I.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Clarify this documented and I wasn't cure what that means.
I'm assuming they have a fake ID, I'm a few
assuming they have affection.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's neither.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Ste I want.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I want this to be and call me naive A
good faith discussion about what's happening, right, But.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
When we when we use language that designed to obscure
the truth, that's not good faith. Legal alien, they're not
an undocumented money.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
That's fine, that's another discussion.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
I don't know the I don't know the details of
the assassination threat. All I all I can say based
on what you're telling me is there's an illegal alien
in our country who's making menacing threats. Regardless of the
facts of circumstances. We don't want them here. We're going
to get to the bottom of it, and I would
gladly come back on.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Just to be clear, but quickly treated.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Unfairly, Yes, I'm sure they're almost treated very unfairly.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Where isn't it amazing? They say, well, the illegal immigrant
was set up. So the illegal immorant said he wants
to kill Trump. But he was set up, is what
they're claiming. And so somehow it's not fair that he
said he wants to kill the president of the.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Because, as Nan says, we'll defend illegal immigrants right at
all costs. We will tell you that the illegal immigrant
is somehow the victim here, not the president of the
United States of America. Who the illegal immigrant threatened to kill.
You cannot make it up. I want to just give
you another example of just how bad it is right
(09:19):
now in this country, especially in sanctuary cities. Fox News
has embedded with Immigration Customs Enforcement ICE in the Greater
Boston area this week when agents were carrying out the
arrests of hundreds of egregious criminal migrants, and what the
(09:41):
agency said is the largest operation that has undertaken since
Donald Trump returned to office.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Now, I want to play for you this. You're going
to hear Bill.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Himmer and then one of the best reporters I know period,
especially on immigration issues, Bill Mallusian, talking about Fox News
being embedded exclusive with Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as
ICE in the Greater Boston area this week. What they
saw is the threat to you and your family. Agents
(10:13):
were carrying out the arrests of hundreds of egregious illegal immigrants, criminals.
I want to be clear about that's criminal illegal immigrants.
And what the agency said is the largest operation that's
undertaken since President Trump's return to office. Now, this sweeping
(10:33):
operation was called Patriot and I'm gonna let you hear
more about it. But we're talking about convicted child rapists,
okay that had been deported and got back in, people
from Salvador. Illegal immigrants that were involved in criminal gangs
like this is insane.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
What is living among us?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And this is what the media and the Democrats are protecting,
these illegal immigrants, not your family, not the American people.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
So now, so this story I mentioned a moment ago,
sanctuary cities and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are not deterring ice.
That's the message we got from a Fox exclusive yesterday.
Federal immigration agents arresting migrants in the Greater Boston area
wanted for some of the most heinous crimes. So Fox
News getting the ride along. Bill Malusiam was there. He
(11:24):
reports on it live in Boston, and what did you see?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Bill? Hello, Bill, good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Nowhere else in the country is the battle between the
locals and feds more heated when it comes to sanctuary
policy than right here in Massachusetts. Tom Homan has promised
he will surge ICE resources to these sanctuary areas, and
that's exactly what he's done. Here in the Greater Boston area,
we joined one of more than a dozen ICE teams
deployed all across the state yesterday as they arrested a murderer,
(11:55):
multiple child rapists, and a FETANL trafficker, all of whom
had been roaming freely on Massachusetts streets. It's dawn in Massachusetts,
where Fox News was given exclusive access to ICE's elite
Boston team. Pulivi targas today are extremely violent, so please
use extreme caution. Good luck out there.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Mb saved.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
ICE quickly moves on its first target and arrests him.
He's a salvador In illegal alien on l Salvador's most
wanted list with an inn pul red notice out for
his arrest for aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and robbery.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Which is where right here this car is gonna pick
you up right?
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Ice then arrested this salvador In illegal alien who was
previously convicted of child rape. He was deported in twenty
seventeen after he went to prison and illegally re entered
the US. He was found living right next to this
children's playground.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So you guys just snagged a previously deported convicted child
rapist living one hundred yards from a child's playground?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Is that unusual out here?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Non Massachusetts it's not unusual. Due to the open border policies,
we are finding that plenty of people who have been
previously deported and committed heinous crimes and were removed from
the country are now back here, just living among us,
and now that's our job to go around them all.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
We joined ICE as They also arrested this Columbian illegal
alien facing pending charges for sexual assault of a child,
as well as this Dominican alien with a drug trafficking
conviction who's now facing local charges for fetanal distribution. Meanwhile,
away from our cameras, another ICE team arrested this Guatemala
(13:37):
illegal alien who's facing charges in Massachusetts for aggravated child rape,
but was released from state custody. They also arrested this
Honduran alien who's facing local charges for rape and was
also released from local custody. Your message for the politicians
who continue to fight you, guys, We're.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Not going away.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
It might take us longer, it might be harder, but
we're not going away. We're here. We know what the
American people voted for, we understand that we work through
the American people, and we're going to be here until
we send everyone home.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And Bill Ice Boston tells us that local anti ICE
activists had been interfering with their operations virtually every single day.
They say, yesterday alone in East Boston, they had arrested
a criminal alien and put him in handcuffs, when a
group of activists grabbed onto that alien and tried to
pull him into their car to get him away from ICE. Then,
in a second incident yesterday I says they were surveilling
(14:35):
a murderer's home in their car when a crowd surrounded
their vehicle, blew their cover and they had to pull
off the target.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Again a murderer. Wow, we'll send it back to you. Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You hear this story and it's one that again is
happening all over the country. This just happens to be
in Boston, and thank goodness Fox is there to be
able to watch this. I also want you to hear
Chrich mcgoughlin at the Department of Home and Security.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
She's been a guest on the show.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We had her on from the White House recently in
the war Room. If you missed that episode, go back
and listen to it where we were live at the
White House for two days of interviews. It was incredible,
but I want you to hear what she had to
say on Fox as well about just how bad it's
gotten Spring.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
And Trician McLoughlin, she's a DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.
I think it's quite alarming, you know, as Bill Malisiana
is reporting that Trisha, he and I said, this is
all in one day, and this is just one state,
one city, one state. How much bigger is this across
the country.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
Dana, It's even bigger. And I do want to note
that these protesters are in bolden by politicians like Tim
Wolls who likens our brave ice and enforcement officers to
the guest stoppo and to Nazis. A representative a Democrat representative,
Dan Goldman out of New York yesterday just held a
press conference again likening our ice enforcement officers to the
guest stop o. Our ice officers are facing a four
(15:58):
hundred percent increase in alts against them. Meanwhile, they're just
trying to make American community safer. As Bill mentioned, just
in the last week alone, we've arrested off with the
streets of Boston, MS thirteen gang members, trend A Iragua,
convicted murders, child rapists, truly the worst of the worst
who have been in our American streets with impunity for
(16:18):
the last four years. And Dana, what's important to remember
is that these sanctuary city politicians, their policies create magnets
for these criminal aliens to come into these communities because
they know that there's not repercussions at the hands of
the city and that the city will in fact hamstring
our ice enforcement officers.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
There is an objective that has become clear about the
numbers of deportations that your group wants to find. It's
three thousand a day, which computes to ninety thousand a month.
Is that realistic and if so, how far away are
you from realizing that goal.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
The American people gave President Trump and Secretary Noma very
tall task when they demanded that these criminal legal aliens
be out of our country.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
We know that about.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
Twenty million people illegally came into our country over the
last four years, and we are hell bent on getting
them out, especially the worst of the worst. I mean,
Dana and Belle. I get reports coming across my desk
every single day that have child rapists, murderers, trendy Aragua,
people who human traffic others with impunity and in it
(17:30):
the numbers we will reach. I'm confident that we will
deliver on the American People's mandate. Secretary Nome has done
a phenomenal job in just over one hundred days. Our
borders closed, but we got to get these numbers up
and we won't be satisfied until.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We clean up Americay. If you do the math over
a year, you're more than a million.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
And we'll see whether or not that can be achieved.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Go ahead, by the way, a million. Just listen to
how hard this is. You're talking three thousand a day.
That is the goal, and it's an amazing goal, all right,
Like that's an unbelievable goal. I love the idea. This
is how many illegal immigrants they allowed to flood our
country that we're behind. If we get three thousand a
(18:10):
day apprehended to get kicked out of our country, I mean,
you're talking this could be a twenty year, thirty year thing.
Democrats knew this when they were letting them in by
the tens of thousands a day. Okay, there were days
when there was twenty thirty, forty thousand that came across
our southern border.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
They knew what they were doing because they knew how hard.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It was going to be to undo it, and they
did it on purpose to fundamentally change this country. I
want to go back to a big story we've been
covering it here for a while, and that is the
illegal immigration issue in America. There is great news that
we have in essence shut down the border and the
illegal crossings at the southern border.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
There was a.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Story about one of the overflow areas. They've actually shut
down one of the areas that was just getting hammered
with illegal immigrants under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
We know that they did it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
We know they wanted to flunt America with massive amounts
of illegal aliens, and they wanted to fundamentally change his country.
The Biden hairris Team Obama is a part of this
as well. And whoever the hell was running the country,
because it wasn't Joe Biden, right, all these these dictators
that were in charge of America. But shutting down the
border is one very important part of the problem. But
(19:27):
we still have a problem that's literally tens of millions
of problems deep, and that is the illegal immigrants who
are in this country now and how do we continue
to remove them quickly? Now I give you an example
of the threat that these illegal immigrants have towards this country.
(19:50):
ICE has just announced that they have arrested an illegal
alien from Mexico for an alleged threat on President Donald
Old Trump's life another assassination attempt.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
The illegal alien has been taken into county by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement ICE after he threatened to assassinate President
Donald Trump. On Wednesday, the Department of Home in Security
Secretary Christy Noam revealed the ICE agents had arrested a
fifty four year old illegal alien of Mexico on May
the twenty second, after he threatened to kill Donald J.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Trump. The day before his arrest, ICE.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Officials said the man handed an intelligence officer a handwritten
note in which he promised to assassinate Trump at one
of his rallies before self deporting from the United States,
saying quote, we are tired of this present messing with
us Mexicans. We have done more for this country than
(20:49):
you white people. The note from the illegal immigrant reads saying, quote,
my family and I think it's time for Donald J.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Trump to get what he has coming to him.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I will self deport myself back to Mexico, but not
before I use my thirty yard six to shoot your
precious present in the head. I will see him at
one of his big rallies, the man emphasized in his
own writing. Now, thanks to are ICE officers, this illegal
(21:20):
alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars.
Christy Noms said in a statement, This threat comes not
even a year, by the way, after President Trump was
shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, and then we and then less
than two weeks after the former FBI Director James Comey
called for President trump'ssassination as well. Christy Oams said, quote,
(21:43):
all politicians and members of the media should take notice
of these repeated attempts on President Trump's life and tone
down their rhetoric. I will continue to take all measures
necessary to ensure the protection of President Trump, Nomes said
in her statement. Now, this illegal immigrant that's been arrested
has illegally crossed the US Mexico border at least nine
(22:05):
different times between nineteen ninety eight and two.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
ICE officials have confirmed the illegal alien has an extensive
criminal history as well, including felony hit and run, criminal
damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.
The illegal immigrant we now are being told, will remain
in ice custody at the Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin,
(22:35):
pending his deportation to Mexico. Now you talk about how
this back and forth and how many times you can
come across the southern border, it's truly incredible that it
can happen so often.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
By so many of these individuals.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Because it is an open border issue and you have
to stop this right like, you absolutely have to stop
this from happening. And this also goes to another issue,
and it deals also with the issue of immigrants coming
into this country. Marco Rubio has issued now a visa
ban for foreign officials who are censoring Americans. And again
(23:18):
this is about going back into offense and to saying, look,
we're not putting up with this crap anymore. Whether it's
legal immigrants, whether it's countries that hate us, whether it's
foreign students that are coming to America that hate America
and are chanting death to America or death to Israel,
or they're anti Semites.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And now you can add to that list.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
The Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing that the Trump
administration will impose visa restrictions on foreign officials engaging in
censorship of American citizens and attempting to regulate American companies abroad.
Rubio so the State Department quote would begin banning foreign
officials from securing visas to travel to the Unite States
(24:00):
of America if they engage in censorship of Americans.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Free speeches among the most cherished rights we enjoy as Americans,
Rubio said in a statement. He went on to say,
this that's right, legally enshrined in our constitution, has set
us apart as a beacon of freedom around the world.
Even as we take action to reject censorship at home,
we see troubling instances of foreign governments and foreign officials
(24:25):
picking up the slack. In some instances, foreign officials have
taken flagrant censorship actions against US tech companies as well
as US citizens and residents, when they have no authority
to do so. Rubio said, today, I'm announcing a new
visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign nationals who
(24:45):
are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States.
It is unacceptable for foreign officials to issue or threaten
arrest warrants on US citizens or US residents for social
media posts on American platforms while physically present on US soil.
(25:06):
It is similarly unacceptable. He went on to say for
foreign officials to demand that American tech platforms adopt global
content moderation policies or engage in censorship activity that reaches
beyond their authority and into the United States of America, saying, quote,
we will not tolerate encroachment upon American sovereignty, especially when
(25:30):
such encroachments undermine the exercise of our.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Fundamental right to free speech.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
He said, for too long, Americans have been fined, have
been harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising
their free speech rights. And that's why he said, today
I'm announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply
to the foreign officials in persons who are complicit in
censoring Americans.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
This move also comes as the European Union approved the
Digital Services Act.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
What does that do?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It's designed to censor certain discussions on social media and
elsewhere online, While countries like China, Venezuela, Russia, Iran and
Cuba continue censorship campaigns to cripple oppositions to their governments now.
In February, jd Vance also sounded the alarm as the
(26:25):
Vice President, warning that the European Union was abandoning shared
democratic values by adopting the online censorship policy. Here is
jdie Vance saying this, and Munich at the Security conference,
not afraid of who he may offend.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship
have come not from within Europe, but from within my
own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social
media companies to censors so called misinformation. Misinformation like, for example,
the idea that coronavirus had likely leap leaked from a
(27:03):
laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to
silence people who dared to utter what turned out to
be an obvious truth.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So I come here.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Today not just with an observation, but with an offer.
And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence
people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will
do precisely the opposite. And I hope that we can
work together on that. In Washington, there is a new
sheriff in town, and under Donald Trump's leadership, we may
(27:36):
disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend
your right to offer it in the public square. Agree
or disagree. Now we're at the point, of course, that
the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania
straight up canceled the results of a presidential election based
on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous
(27:58):
pressure from its continental neighbors.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Now, as I understand.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
It, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the
Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European friends to have
some perspective. You can believe it's wrong for Russia to
buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We certainly do.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
You can condemn it on the world stage even but
if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred
thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then
it wasn't very strong to begin with. Now, the good
news is that I happen to think your democracies are
substantially less brittle than many people apparently fear, and I
(28:45):
really do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their
mind will make them stronger.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Still, you can hear the Vice President saying the same
thing that the president's talking about, saying it's time for
us to defend and protect free speech while also making
sure that online people aren't silenced and punished from governments
or organizations around the world. And if you do come
after Americans, we'll get ready because your visas are going
(29:12):
to be canceled. Make sure you share this podcast with
your family and friends, put up on social media wherever
you are, and we appreciate you listening every day.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
Another day, another victory for the Trump administration, this time
as the Supreme Court issued in emergency order permitting the
Trump administration to revoke humanitarian parole protections for more than
five hundred and thirty thousand migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
(00:21):
and Venezuela. Now, these individuals had been granted temporary legal
status under programs that were initiated during the Biden administrations.
They flooded the country with the legal immigrants. They set
up these special protections to allow for millions and millions
of illegals to stay in this country, costing you hundreds
(00:42):
of billions of dollars. Now, this program also allowed them
to live and work in the US for quote two
years due to humanitarian concerns. Well, the Court's decision lifts
a lower courts injunction by an activist judge that blocked
the administration's move, enabling the policy change to proceed while
legal challenges continue in the lower courts.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What does this mean?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Elections have consequences in the President United Its America has
the right to be able to push his agenda forward
that the American people voted for. Now, let's be clear
about the Supreme Court ruling here. Okay, the Supreme Court's
order did not provide a detailed explanation, which is customary
for emergency decisions, but the justices did say the President
(01:26):
could do his job now. Who was in the dissent
none other than Justices Brown Jackson and Sonya Sotomayor. They dissented,
expressing concern over the potential harm quote unquote to the
affected individuals, also know as illegal immigrants and the illegal
immigrant communities. Justice Jackson, for example, emphasized that the decision could,
(01:49):
as she put it up, in the lives and the
livelihoods of nearly a half a million non citizens. So
she's admitting their legal immigrants while their legal claims are
quote pending now. The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary
Christy Nome had previously announced the termination of this program
(02:09):
Cuba Hating, Nicaragua and Venezuela, all of these pro programs
giving recipients quote thirty days to deport the US unless
they qualify for other legal protections.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That is, when an activist federal judge.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
In Boston locked that action, ruling that such a broad
termination required individual case reviews that would obviously take years.
A big victory for the left if it was going
to stand well. The Supreme Court's decision now allows the
administration to proceed with the revocation while the case is
(02:45):
reviewed by the First US Circuit.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Court of Appeals.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now, this ruling again is part of a broader effort
by the Trump administration to reshape US immigration policy. By
the way, that's exactly why Donald Trump was elected, because
he said he was going to get tough on illegal immigration,
while the other administration let in everyone, including terrorists. All right,
so let's just be clear, there's a difference here, and
(03:09):
this is what a lot of this election.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Came down to.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Now, this temporary protection status was a caveat that the
Biden administration used for three hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelans,
for example. Supporters argue these actions reinforce the executive branch's authority,
the president's authority over the issue of immigration, and also
aims to enforce existing laws that were obviously not being
(03:34):
followed by the Biden Harris administration. The left, they're so
obsessed with this, and they're wanting this to be a
quote humanitarian issue, and they say, you can't just kick
out a bunch of people out of this country a
half million plus.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's not fair.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, don't break into America and you wouldn't have to
deal with a fallout. Now, the legal proceedings are going
to continue, and the full implications of the Supreme Court
decision obviously remain to be seen with its ongoing debate.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But what's clear is.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
The Supreme Court said, the President of the United States
of America, right regardless of who it is, has the
right to push their agenda forward and they shouldn't be
held back by a previous administration's agenda.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That is what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Now, let's be clear, the media is also going nuts
over this. CNN's Pamela Brown had on Steven Miller at
the White House to talk about this as a Supreme
Court Their headline, spring court lets Trump in deportation protection
for five hundred thousand migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
That's they got the bottom of the screen. And I
(04:41):
want you to hear how the conversation went. It didn't
go well for Pamela Brown and CNN at all.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Do you think a judge should just rubber stamp what
your White House does? If not, what checks and balances
do you think should be in place for this White House?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Is not the job of a just Court judge to
perform an individual green light or red light on every
single policy that the president takes as the head of
the executive branch. Just think about the premise baked into
your question, respectfully, Pam, you're saying that when the American
people elect a president of the United States of America,
(05:16):
I'm not the.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The well, it's the implication here.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Is the sole head of the executive branch.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Let me finish, Let me finish. I will answer the
question happily.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But look, when you have these kinds of lazy assumptions
built into questions, that makes it hard to have a construction.
You said, no, you said, you said, is it my expectation?
He says, you said, is it my expectation? It's not
just you, it's the whole media.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
In other words, when.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You know your sentence, it is a completely literal question
you say, and I will gladly answer it.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
When you say, do we think district court judges should
rubb or stamp each action? There is a premise that
is built into that that is absurd. The president is
the sole head of the executive branch. He's the only
officer in the entire government that's elected by the entire
American people. Democracy cannot function. In fact, democracy does not
exist at all. If each action the president takes foreign policy, diplomatic, military,
(06:11):
national security has to be individually approved by seven hundred
district court judges.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's democracy.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
So that there's fifteen communists, crazy judges on the court
that each of them, as a team, working together, can
block and freeze each and every executive action.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You listen to Steven Miller's point here, and he's explaining
why the judge made the ruling the way he did
to try to stop Donald Trump, because he's saying, you
got to look at every one of these individually. How
long would it take to look at five hundred thousand
migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Right, they know
that they could play out the clock for the next
four years while.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Trump is in office.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And as he said, when you have these kinds of
lazy assumptions built into questions, that makes it hard to
have a constructive dialogue. Now, by the way, Stephen Miller
wasn't done roasting CNN.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
There.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
CNN also asked a question about the illegal immigrant who
is threatening to kill and was caught threatening to kill
President Donald Trump and then said he was going to
quote self deport after he had finished the job against
Donald Trump. But notice the way that CNN asked the question.
(07:22):
They won't use the word illegal immigrant.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill the president,
promising to self deport after the assassination. CNN reporting shows
that investigators believe the migrant.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Was set up. It was a victim of a setup.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
What is the administration going to do now? And this
is an undocumented immigrant. I do want to note that,
but this was someone who came forward, was a victim
of a crime, and now law enforcement believes.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
He was set up.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Go ahead, well, I want to clarify what you mean.
So we're talking about the same thing. Are you saying
this immigrant was here?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I legally yes, but I am And that's why I
said that I.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Clarify this documented and I wasn't cure what that means.
I'm assuming they have a fake ID, I'm a few
assuming they have affection.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's neither.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Ste I want.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I want this to be and call me naive A
good faith discussion about what's happening, right, But.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
When we when we use language that designed to obscure
the truth, that's not good faith. Legal alien, they're not
an undocumented money.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
That's fine, that's another discussion.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
I don't know the I don't know the details of
the assassination threat. All I all I can say based
on what you're telling me is there's an illegal alien
in our country who's making menacing threats. Regardless of the
facts of circumstances. We don't want them here. We're going
to get to the bottom of it, and I would
gladly come back on.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Just to be clear, but quickly treated.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Unfairly, Yes, I'm sure they're almost treated very unfairly.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Where isn't it amazing? They say, well, the illegal immigrant
was set up. So the illegal immorant said he wants
to kill Trump. But he was set up, is what
they're claiming. And so somehow it's not fair that he
said he wants to kill the president of the.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Because, as Nan says, we'll defend illegal immigrants right at
all costs. We will tell you that the illegal immigrant
is somehow the victim here, not the president of the
United States of America. Who the illegal immigrant threatened to kill.
You cannot make it up. I want to just give
you another example of just how bad it is right
(09:19):
now in this country, especially in sanctuary cities. Fox News
has embedded with Immigration Customs Enforcement ICE in the Greater
Boston area this week when agents were carrying out the
arrests of hundreds of egregious criminal migrants, and what the
(09:41):
agency said is the largest operation that has undertaken since
Donald Trump returned to office.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Now, I want to play for you this. You're going
to hear Bill.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Himmer and then one of the best reporters I know period,
especially on immigration issues, Bill Mallusian, talking about Fox News
being embedded exclusive with Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as
ICE in the Greater Boston area this week. What they
saw is the threat to you and your family. Agents
(10:13):
were carrying out the arrests of hundreds of egregious illegal immigrants, criminals.
I want to be clear about that's criminal illegal immigrants.
And what the agency said is the largest operation that's
undertaken since President Trump's return to office. Now, this sweeping
(10:33):
operation was called Patriot and I'm gonna let you hear
more about it. But we're talking about convicted child rapists,
okay that had been deported and got back in, people
from Salvador. Illegal immigrants that were involved in criminal gangs
like this is insane.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
What is living among us?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And this is what the media and the Democrats are protecting,
these illegal immigrants, not your family, not the American people.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
So now, so this story I mentioned a moment ago,
sanctuary cities and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are not deterring ice.
That's the message we got from a Fox exclusive yesterday.
Federal immigration agents arresting migrants in the Greater Boston area
wanted for some of the most heinous crimes. So Fox
News getting the ride along. Bill Malusiam was there. He
(11:24):
reports on it live in Boston, and what did you see?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Bill? Hello, Bill, good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Nowhere else in the country is the battle between the
locals and feds more heated when it comes to sanctuary
policy than right here in Massachusetts. Tom Homan has promised
he will surge ICE resources to these sanctuary areas, and
that's exactly what he's done. Here in the Greater Boston area,
we joined one of more than a dozen ICE teams
deployed all across the state yesterday as they arrested a murderer,
(11:55):
multiple child rapists, and a FETANL trafficker, all of whom
had been roaming freely on Massachusetts streets. It's dawn in Massachusetts,
where Fox News was given exclusive access to ICE's elite
Boston team. Pulivi targas today are extremely violent, so please
use extreme caution. Good luck out there.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Mb saved.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
ICE quickly moves on its first target and arrests him.
He's a salvador In illegal alien on l Salvador's most
wanted list with an inn pul red notice out for
his arrest for aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and robbery.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Which is where right here this car is gonna pick
you up right?
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Ice then arrested this salvador In illegal alien who was
previously convicted of child rape. He was deported in twenty
seventeen after he went to prison and illegally re entered
the US. He was found living right next to this
children's playground.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So you guys just snagged a previously deported convicted child
rapist living one hundred yards from a child's playground?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Is that unusual out here?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Non Massachusetts it's not unusual. Due to the open border policies,
we are finding that plenty of people who have been
previously deported and committed heinous crimes and were removed from
the country are now back here, just living among us,
and now that's our job to go around them all.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
We joined ICE as They also arrested this Columbian illegal
alien facing pending charges for sexual assault of a child,
as well as this Dominican alien with a drug trafficking
conviction who's now facing local charges for fetanal distribution. Meanwhile,
away from our cameras, another ICE team arrested this Guatemala
(13:37):
illegal alien who's facing charges in Massachusetts for aggravated child rape,
but was released from state custody. They also arrested this
Honduran alien who's facing local charges for rape and was
also released from local custody. Your message for the politicians
who continue to fight you, guys, We're.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Not going away.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
It might take us longer, it might be harder, but
we're not going away. We're here. We know what the
American people voted for, we understand that we work through
the American people, and we're going to be here until
we send everyone home.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And Bill Ice Boston tells us that local anti ICE
activists had been interfering with their operations virtually every single day.
They say, yesterday alone in East Boston, they had arrested
a criminal alien and put him in handcuffs, when a
group of activists grabbed onto that alien and tried to
pull him into their car to get him away from ICE. Then,
in a second incident yesterday I says they were surveilling
(14:35):
a murderer's home in their car when a crowd surrounded
their vehicle, blew their cover and they had to pull
off the target.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Again a murderer. Wow, we'll send it back to you. Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You hear this story and it's one that again is
happening all over the country. This just happens to be
in Boston, and thank goodness Fox is there to be
able to watch this. I also want you to hear
Chrich mcgoughlin at the Department of Home and Security.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
She's been a guest on the show.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We had her on from the White House recently in
the war Room. If you missed that episode, go back
and listen to it where we were live at the
White House for two days of interviews. It was incredible,
but I want you to hear what she had to
say on Fox as well about just how bad it's
gotten Spring.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
And Trician McLoughlin, she's a DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.
I think it's quite alarming, you know, as Bill Malisiana
is reporting that Trisha, he and I said, this is
all in one day, and this is just one state,
one city, one state. How much bigger is this across
the country.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
Dana, It's even bigger. And I do want to note
that these protesters are in bolden by politicians like Tim
Wolls who likens our brave ice and enforcement officers to
the guest stoppo and to Nazis. A representative a Democrat representative,
Dan Goldman out of New York yesterday just held a
press conference again likening our ice enforcement officers to the
guest stop o. Our ice officers are facing a four
(15:58):
hundred percent increase in alts against them. Meanwhile, they're just
trying to make American community safer. As Bill mentioned, just
in the last week alone, we've arrested off with the
streets of Boston, MS thirteen gang members, trend A Iragua,
convicted murders, child rapists, truly the worst of the worst
who have been in our American streets with impunity for
(16:18):
the last four years. And Dana, what's important to remember
is that these sanctuary city politicians, their policies create magnets
for these criminal aliens to come into these communities because
they know that there's not repercussions at the hands of
the city and that the city will in fact hamstring
our ice enforcement officers.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
There is an objective that has become clear about the
numbers of deportations that your group wants to find. It's
three thousand a day, which computes to ninety thousand a month.
Is that realistic and if so, how far away are
you from realizing that goal.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
The American people gave President Trump and Secretary Noma very
tall task when they demanded that these criminal legal aliens
be out of our country.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
We know that about.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
Twenty million people illegally came into our country over the
last four years, and we are hell bent on getting
them out, especially the worst of the worst. I mean,
Dana and Belle. I get reports coming across my desk
every single day that have child rapists, murderers, trendy Aragua,
people who human traffic others with impunity and in it
(17:30):
the numbers we will reach. I'm confident that we will
deliver on the American People's mandate. Secretary Nome has done
a phenomenal job in just over one hundred days. Our
borders closed, but we got to get these numbers up
and we won't be satisfied until.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We clean up Americay. If you do the math over
a year, you're more than a million.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
And we'll see whether or not that can be achieved.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Go ahead, by the way, a million. Just listen to
how hard this is. You're talking three thousand a day.
That is the goal, and it's an amazing goal, all right,
Like that's an unbelievable goal. I love the idea. This
is how many illegal immigrants they allowed to flood our
country that we're behind. If we get three thousand a
(18:10):
day apprehended to get kicked out of our country, I mean,
you're talking this could be a twenty year, thirty year thing.
Democrats knew this when they were letting them in by
the tens of thousands a day. Okay, there were days
when there was twenty thirty, forty thousand that came across
our southern border.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
They knew what they were doing because they knew how hard.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It was going to be to undo it, and they
did it on purpose to fundamentally change this country. I
want to go back to a big story we've been
covering it here for a while, and that is the
illegal immigration issue in America. There is great news that
we have in essence shut down the border and the
illegal crossings at the southern border.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
There was a.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Story about one of the overflow areas. They've actually shut
down one of the areas that was just getting hammered
with illegal immigrants under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
We know that they did it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
We know they wanted to flunt America with massive amounts
of illegal aliens, and they wanted to fundamentally change his country.
The Biden hairris Team Obama is a part of this
as well. And whoever the hell was running the country,
because it wasn't Joe Biden, right, all these these dictators
that were in charge of America. But shutting down the
border is one very important part of the problem. But
(19:27):
we still have a problem that's literally tens of millions
of problems deep, and that is the illegal immigrants who
are in this country now and how do we continue
to remove them quickly? Now I give you an example
of the threat that these illegal immigrants have towards this country.
(19:50):
ICE has just announced that they have arrested an illegal
alien from Mexico for an alleged threat on President Donald
Old Trump's life another assassination attempt.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
The illegal alien has been taken into county by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement ICE after he threatened to assassinate President
Donald Trump. On Wednesday, the Department of Home in Security
Secretary Christy Noam revealed the ICE agents had arrested a
fifty four year old illegal alien of Mexico on May
the twenty second, after he threatened to kill Donald J.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Trump. The day before his arrest, ICE.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Officials said the man handed an intelligence officer a handwritten
note in which he promised to assassinate Trump at one
of his rallies before self deporting from the United States,
saying quote, we are tired of this present messing with
us Mexicans. We have done more for this country than
(20:49):
you white people. The note from the illegal immigrant reads saying, quote,
my family and I think it's time for Donald J.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Trump to get what he has coming to him.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I will self deport myself back to Mexico, but not
before I use my thirty yard six to shoot your
precious present in the head. I will see him at
one of his big rallies, the man emphasized in his
own writing. Now, thanks to are ICE officers, this illegal
(21:20):
alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars.
Christy Noms said in a statement, This threat comes not
even a year, by the way, after President Trump was
shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, and then we and then less
than two weeks after the former FBI Director James Comey
called for President trump'ssassination as well. Christy Oams said, quote,
(21:43):
all politicians and members of the media should take notice
of these repeated attempts on President Trump's life and tone
down their rhetoric. I will continue to take all measures
necessary to ensure the protection of President Trump, Nomes said
in her statement. Now, this illegal immigrant that's been arrested
has illegally crossed the US Mexico border at least nine
(22:05):
different times between nineteen ninety eight and two.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
ICE officials have confirmed the illegal alien has an extensive
criminal history as well, including felony hit and run, criminal
damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.
The illegal immigrant we now are being told, will remain
in ice custody at the Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin,
(22:35):
pending his deportation to Mexico. Now you talk about how
this back and forth and how many times you can
come across the southern border, it's truly incredible that it
can happen so often.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
By so many of these individuals.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Because it is an open border issue and you have
to stop this right like, you absolutely have to stop
this from happening. And this also goes to another issue,
and it deals also with the issue of immigrants coming
into this country. Marco Rubio has issued now a visa
ban for foreign officials who are censoring Americans. And again
(23:18):
this is about going back into offense and to saying, look,
we're not putting up with this crap anymore. Whether it's
legal immigrants, whether it's countries that hate us, whether it's
foreign students that are coming to America that hate America
and are chanting death to America or death to Israel,
or they're anti Semites.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And now you can add to that list.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
The Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing that the Trump
administration will impose visa restrictions on foreign officials engaging in
censorship of American citizens and attempting to regulate American companies abroad.
Rubio so the State Department quote would begin banning foreign
officials from securing visas to travel to the Unite States
(24:00):
of America if they engage in censorship of Americans.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Free speeches among the most cherished rights we enjoy as Americans,
Rubio said in a statement. He went on to say,
this that's right, legally enshrined in our constitution, has set
us apart as a beacon of freedom around the world.
Even as we take action to reject censorship at home,
we see troubling instances of foreign governments and foreign officials
(24:25):
picking up the slack. In some instances, foreign officials have
taken flagrant censorship actions against US tech companies as well
as US citizens and residents, when they have no authority
to do so. Rubio said, today, I'm announcing a new
visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign nationals who
(24:45):
are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States.
It is unacceptable for foreign officials to issue or threaten
arrest warrants on US citizens or US residents for social
media posts on American platforms while physically present on US soil.
(25:06):
It is similarly unacceptable. He went on to say for
foreign officials to demand that American tech platforms adopt global
content moderation policies or engage in censorship activity that reaches
beyond their authority and into the United States of America, saying, quote,
we will not tolerate encroachment upon American sovereignty, especially when
(25:30):
such encroachments undermine the exercise of our.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Fundamental right to free speech.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
He said, for too long, Americans have been fined, have
been harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising
their free speech rights. And that's why he said, today
I'm announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply
to the foreign officials in persons who are complicit in
censoring Americans.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
This move also comes as the European Union approved the
Digital Services Act.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
What does that do?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It's designed to censor certain discussions on social media and
elsewhere online, While countries like China, Venezuela, Russia, Iran and
Cuba continue censorship campaigns to cripple oppositions to their governments now.
In February, jd Vance also sounded the alarm as the
(26:25):
Vice President, warning that the European Union was abandoning shared
democratic values by adopting the online censorship policy. Here is
jdie Vance saying this, and Munich at the Security conference,
not afraid of who he may offend.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship
have come not from within Europe, but from within my
own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social
media companies to censors so called misinformation. Misinformation like, for example,
the idea that coronavirus had likely leap leaked from a
(27:03):
laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to
silence people who dared to utter what turned out to
be an obvious truth.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So I come here.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Today not just with an observation, but with an offer.
And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence
people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will
do precisely the opposite. And I hope that we can
work together on that. In Washington, there is a new
sheriff in town, and under Donald Trump's leadership, we may
(27:36):
disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend
your right to offer it in the public square. Agree
or disagree. Now we're at the point, of course, that
the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania
straight up canceled the results of a presidential election based
on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous
(27:58):
pressure from its continental neighbors.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Now, as I understand.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
It, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the
Romanian elections. But I'd ask my European friends to have
some perspective. You can believe it's wrong for Russia to
buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We certainly do.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
You can condemn it on the world stage even but
if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred
thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then
it wasn't very strong to begin with. Now, the good
news is that I happen to think your democracies are
substantially less brittle than many people apparently fear, and I
(28:45):
really do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their
mind will make them stronger.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Still, you can hear the Vice President saying the same
thing that the president's talking about, saying it's time for
us to defend and protect free speech while also making
sure that online people aren't silenced and punished from governments
or organizations around the world. And if you do come
after Americans, we'll get ready because your visas are going
(29:12):
to be canceled. Make sure you share this podcast with
your family and friends, put up on social media wherever
you are, and we appreciate you listening every day.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
