The Democrat Party is being controlled and it's very obvious to see. Jesse Kelly explains who is controlling the Democrat Party and what it means for the country. This comes as ANTIFA is spreading across the United States. Julio Rosas joins Jesse with a full report on ANTIFA activity as well as the scheduled 'No Kings' protests. You'll also hear from Ammon Blair regarding U.S. military action against the Cartels. Speaking of military action, how are U.S. economic measures towards China impacting the CCP's military? Dave Brat is onboard with the answer.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Let's talk about the good, because there's a lot of it.
There's some bad, of course, we'll talk about that too.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
What's going to happen with.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
This trade war with China that's apparently about to kick off,
all that military against the cartails and more coming up,
and I'm right, all right, let's talk about great things
and some bad things. Let's talk about both, because here's

(00:30):
what's important. I've discovered this in my forty four years
and definitely in my twenty years of being a political person.
We didn't grow up that way, but about twenty years
ago started to get political. We should never get too high,
we should never.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Get too low.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's really a general that's generally a very good rule
for life anyway. Right, But in politics, you get a
big win. Trump wins in November, it can be easy
to get caught up in the emotions. All our problems
are solved. We'll never lose power again.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's not true.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And look, Joe Biden steals an election in twenty twenty.
The communists take over and they gave the whole country up.
We look around and we think this country's officially sodom
and gomorrah.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
The world is just going to open up and.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Suck us down at a hell all it is lost.
But that's not really true either. We should talk about
the good and the bad. Yesterday was Columbus Day. All right,
it's a good day. It's an important day. You honor
the people who helped build your nation, you know, sitting
at pick about this and that maybe a bit. You
honor the people who had a hand in laying the
foundation for your country.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Donald Trump issued a proclamation declaring it Columbus Day, a
very very good thing. That stuff is not small. That
stuff matters. That's culture stuff. Culture stuff is more important
than anything else. That's the good news.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
We have good guidance on that kind of stuff. Right now,
here's some bad news.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
We still have a ways to go with the GOP itself,
all of them are. There's a lot of gunk still
we have to clean out, and that's going to take
years and years and years and years and years. We
like to think that now that we've gotten our heads
back on straight and we're doing well, that hey, we're
all these old lame gop is, the low t GOP,

(02:22):
they're just going to go by the wayside. But no,
it takes years to root these people out of power,
especially senators. The Senate majority leader is John Thune. Yesterday
on Columbus Day, he was completely silent about Christopher Columbus.
He did come out and put up a social media
post honoring Native American Day, now Native American Day to

(02:46):
be frank, it is a thing in South Dakota.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
But read the room, senator, read the room.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Everyone knows how that would be interpreted everyone, of course,
except for the low t senator from South Dakota. Red
States have to start doing better getting these senators out.
I know that's easier said than done. It will take years,
but just a little reminder. We have a long way
to go. But where could we be? Let's because look,

(03:15):
Donald Trump's president and in my opinion, has done a
pretty dang good job so far. But I realized we
can nitpick. It's easy to do so. Look, I've criticized
Donald Trump many times before. Talking into this camera, you
probably have yourself with your family think I don't like this.
I wish he hadn't done this, wish he hadn't said that.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Is it a nitpick? And that's fine. You should do that.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Don't be a cheerleader. Put the pomp pumps down. But
let's remember, let's remember.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Where we could be.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Remember last year when Dome went to the camera and
talked about Columbus Day.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
It is an honor, of course, to be with you
this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, as we
speak truth about our nation's history. Since nineteen thirty four,
every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of
the European explorers who first landed on the shores of

(04:13):
the Americas. But that is not the whole story. That
has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in
a wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land,
and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this

(04:37):
shameful past.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
They can't just say it's a great day, celebrate somebody.
They can't ever just celebrate America. And for four years,
you remember it. For four years, those were the people
guiding this culture in this country. And it sucked that
it sucked. But then the country rose up and said, nah,

(05:04):
we're done with that. We're done with that.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Feel good about that.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
These people can't really celebrate anything at all yesterday, that
peace steal and I've been honest with you about how
long I think it's going to last. But still, no
matter what, Israel Hamas killing each other as fast as
possible for two years, people being held hostage, starving to
death for two years. So yesterday, big peace, steel, and

(05:30):
people are being reunited with their families. Even if it's
a piece that lasts for five minutes, it's only good.
It's not bad at all.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
But don't couldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I really do hope it becomes real and that the
hostages are out, that Gaza is no longer being treated
with such brutality of force that a goes in.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
A lot of folks in your party have called what's
happening in Gaza a genocide.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Do you agree with that?

Speaker 5 (06:09):
I think that.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Listen, it's a It is a term of law that
a court will decide. But I will tell you that
when you look at the number of children that have
been killed, the number of innocent civilians that have been killed,
the refusal to give aid and support, we should all
step back and ask this question and be honest about it.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, so what's going on there besides the normal word
salad stuff?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, here's what's going on.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
This applies to Dome, It's going to apply to every
Democrat across the country. We talked about it a little bit.
We've talked about it many times before. Actually, their base
is so radicalized now in so many different ways that
even if you have moderate thoughts, reasonable thoughts as a
Democrat politician, you can't because you're afraid of these people like.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
You see more criminal.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
You know what, I am not president of the United States.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
They're afraid of those people.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
I'll use this as we wrap it up here, because
we have so much we have to get to on
this show. I know you've probably seen it, probably heard
people talking about it. But that Abbigail Spanberger, who's trying
to be governor of Virginia. She was asked about the
men and women sports things. And keep in mind, keep
in mind that this is something that pulls eighty percent

(07:41):
in the country people, not just you and me, people
even normans independence. They do not want dudes pretending to
be women playing against women in sports. This is one
of those It's an easy issue eighty twenty. Take the
eighty if you're a politician. And Democrats know that too.
They know they know it's an eighty twenty issue. They
know where they should fall on it, but their base

(08:04):
is so demonic, so insane, so obsessed with chopping off
people's body parts and this weird sexual, demonic garbage. Their
base is so obsessed with it they can't come out
and say that, so they have to try to walk
this tightrope that can't be walked.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Issue was focusing on a K through twelve school system.
Should transgender girls who are biological males be allowed to
use girls' bathrooms and play on girls' sports teams? You
have sixty seconds.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
On issues related to what's happening in our schools in
each individual community. I think it's important that we have
parents and teachers and administrators making decisions about their individual schools,
not politicians.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
Once again, the question was should transgender girls who are
biological males be allowed to use girls' bathrooms and play
on girls sports teams? In K through twelve? You have
fifteen seconds to clarify.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
In cases across Virginia. I think it's incumbent upon parents
and educators and administrators in each local community to make
decisions locally.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Would you rescind the youngin administration policy requiring boys and
girls to use bathrooms aligning with their biological sex. You
have thirty seconds.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
My priority would be to ensure that local communities, importantly,
parents and teachers, educators are able to work together to
meet the unique needs of each school in each community.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
The business vand Burger, the question was should the young
would you rescind the youngin administration policy requiring boys and
girls to use bathrooms aligning with their biological sex. You
have fifteen seconds to clarify that question.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
And my answer is that in each local community, decisions
should be made between parents and educators and teachers in
each community.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I hope you got real use to that answer because
you have heard the Rear Admiral Pete budaj Edge give
that same answer. What happened was Democrats the communists got
together and they tried to figure out an answer that
would be the appropriate tightrope walk across the United States
of America. Mark my words, you will hear over and

(10:29):
over and over again from Democrats in the coming years
an answer just like that, a word salad thing, but
then something that kind of references local control. I mean,
I'm really out of my hands up to the parents
that people are crazy, but we're winning. Take heart on
that who the orosas is winning. He's all over the

(10:51):
street communism, as he always is, and we're going to
talk to him in just a moment. Now, you know
what else is winning? Not the bad kind, not the
feminist kind. People were starting to wake up and realize
that all these canola oils and vegetable oil, these things
are freaking terrible for you. Look this is from me.

(11:15):
I used to get my grilled cheese sandwiches deep fried
in vegetable oil. Okay, I know, but fat is not
bad when it's beef tailo. When it's Golden Age fats,
it's not only good for you, it's delicious.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
It tastes better.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Remember what McDonald's fries used to taste like before they
started tasting like chemicals. Go get some Golden Age fats
and cook with that, guilt free. Guilt free because it's natural.
But it's all we use in my house with a
big tub of it. Go to Goldenagefats dot com slash
jessetv it save you twenty five percent.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Go get a tub. We'll be back.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Yeah, thank you, mister President for having us here. And
you know, not to sound like a broken record, but
it needs to be said that.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Antifa is real.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
To be clear, political violence, the same political violence that
we're seeing in this country is not a both sides issue.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
I can't believe Julio rose Sauce was allowed in the
White House. Can't believe how good he did joining me now,
my buddy, Julio ros Sauce, National correspondent with the Blaze,
United States Marine. Julio, You've come a long way from
standing on some yellow footprints getting screamed at my friend
to hang him with the big man.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
It was.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
It was quite yeah, it was quite surprise. I was
literally coming back from Portland when I was when I
was invited, and you know, of course, of course I
accepted because this this issue is something that I've been
aware of and it's seen personand for a long time, right,
and a lot of people just just really want to
not believe that this movement exists. And of course, of

(13:01):
course it does, right. And so when you have the
opportunity to present your findings and present your experiences to
not just the President, but also you know people who
are watching in the press pool, you're gonna say yes
to that one.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Julio, walk me through what the point of it was
was this just bringing in experts like people like you
who've been knee deep with these street animals for years.
But are they coming up with a plan? What do
you get? What did you get out of this?

Speaker 5 (13:30):
Well, So there was a couple of reasons. One it
was just to lay out the facts of what all
these different people have experienced about about this group, right.
And you know, when when when the president is there
participating that there's there's a reason for that, right, and
people are gonna tune in a little bit more than
if it's just some other member of his cabinet. I mean,
this is the president. This guy's a busy guy. And

(13:51):
so that that was just the first thing. It was
just to say that yes, Antifa is real. Uh, it
exists and we're looking at it. That that's what the
administration was was trying to say. And it was because
you know, the press school is there. It's to kind
of force the mainstream media to at least acknowledge that
this is a thing right now. Of course I would
say that the mainstream coverage was to be expected, but

(14:15):
it at least puts in people's mind that this is
an ongoing issue. They're using the anti ice you know,
Feaver outrage to to fuel themselves to try to achieve
their goals, but it was also to reassure not just us,
you know, people who have experienced them, in some cases violently,

(14:37):
but also to the voters that yes, the administration is
maintaining its pledge to go after not just the individual
people that they happen to get at these riots, but
also it's support networks, which are very active right now.
They've they've been active for a number of years.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Julio, can you talk about the level of support youth
thing think these people are getting it? It's obvious to
anyone who pays attention. This is not organic stuff. So
there's some level of sophistication to it's certainly some lew
of funding and organization, but you have actually had to
smell these people, which has to be brutal. What do
you get from their level of sophistication.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well, that's why I wear a gas mask. Not just
with your guests. They do. They do get support. I
mean I saw it in Chaz back in Seattle back
in twenty twenty. Most recently outside the facility, the ice
facility in Broadview, Illinois, which is outside Chicago, someone dropped
off a whole bunch of large and small Mexican flags.

(15:40):
I mean that costs.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Money, you know.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
So the support are in big and small ways. You know,
in the in Portland, outside the ice facility there, they
have a couple of tents with all these different supplies
that are dropped off. And then the kind of more
I would say nefarious and more you know, more expensive
items are the the the bail funds. I mean that

(16:05):
that's probably the biggest one of the biggest ones ways
that they get support is just you know, because obviously
they're not going to be in jail for very long
or you know, they're gonna rarely receive any actual prison sentence.
So if they do happen to get arrested, they can
be back out relatively quickly because they have all these
bail funds that they can be that they can access,
and some of them are international. And that's why when

(16:26):
President Trump was asking, well, are these guys a foreign
terrorist organization? Have we designated that? We said no, and
it probably should because Antifa is just not unique to
the United States, but they're very active in Europe, like Germany, France,
in the UK. So that was kind of another thing
that kind of came out of that is like, you know,
because Secretary of Rubio walked in to give him the

(16:46):
news about Moss and and the you know, the historic
piece deal, but they also mixed into that. President Trump
you know, went to went to Rubio and said, hey,
we should probably take a look at that as well,
since that would fall under a kind of his domain.
So I would say that, you know, it was very
it was a very productive meeting, right And again, it
just when you're on the ground, When you're on the
ground and stuff, you kind of forget that what you

(17:08):
put out there is seen by you know a lot
of people, and so it was just kind of validating
to know that, uh, you know, it was just validating
to see that the hard work that gets put into this,
because there's a lot that goes into these things in
terms of time, energy, resources, and personal safety, it is
worth it because there are people who are in a

(17:28):
position to do something about it beyond just recording it.
Are are are taking note of it and want to
follow through on action.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, that's got to feel good to see the fruits
of your labor. Okay, So two things for this question. One,
we heard Cash Bettel talk about tracking down George Soros's
connections and things like that to that, how many layers
do you think there are between the billionaires who stroke
the checks and the street animals who are pooping on

(17:57):
themselves out in front of the ice facility? Who how
many Mexican flags did you take?

Speaker 5 (18:04):
I did take one as of a mento, full disclosure.
It was offered to me, and I said, you know what, Yeah,
I'm gonna add, I'm gonna add I take things. But
you know, I take rubber bullets and tear gas cancers
and everything, just as of a mento. So yes, I
did take one. But I always carry the American flag.
That's always in my backpack when I'm at at these things.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
But so the other, the other, the more serious thing,
I would say that there's a few layers. It's not
it's not super complicated, right, because when you have things
like you know, Stors's network or any other of these
like left wing billionaires, they give them to these these
these nonprofits, right, and then nonprofits then kind of disperse
it to the networks because or you know, to the

(18:41):
to the activists that are on the street, because it's local, right,
I mean, they're they're very they're very good at organizing
at the local level, and so I wouldn't I wouldn't say,
I mean, it's it's not it's not that complicated once
you start kind of peeling back those layers and say that,
you know, it's not probably fifty degrees removed. It's probably
only about two or three if you're if you're looking
at it through through that. But also I would say that,

(19:05):
you know, unfortunately, these people genuinely believe what they're what
they're espousing about about promoting this anarcho communism ideology that's
kind of wrapped in with with Antifa. It's not anti
fascists in the sense of like World War two, World
War two veterans. I mean that, I mean, they would
call those guys fascists for for the beliefs that they held.

(19:29):
So that so it's just nonsense going on its face.
But because of how President Trump is actually carrying out
his promises to try to carry out mass deportations, that
alone gets people out of the streets. And that's why
I told the President, I said, this issue isn't necessarily
about just Antifa. We've seen seemingly ordinary people ramming ice vehicles,

(19:49):
ramming border patrol, attacking border patrol and ice while they're
out there. It's not people dressed up in black block.
It's like just these people who have been extremely radicalized
within this past year. Uh, you know, because the meanstrem
media is sort of responsible with they're reporting about all this,
so that that's kind of the bigger problem, because you
don't need to be part of Antifa to just throw

(20:10):
yourself in there into the mix to try to, you know,
save these people from being kidnapped. And that's why I
think it's going to be a very We're going to
be in it for a while because these things might
calm down a little bit in the country once it
starts getting colder for this fall and winter, but I
guarantee it's just to be just like fighting season and
Iraq in Afghanistan, it's going to start right back up
again once the conditions are conducive to them to be

(20:32):
out there for hours on end. So you know, this
is going to be an issue for for quite some time.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Julio, I know you've already seen it, and shoot, you
might have been there, but this, as Brandon Johnson in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Our very democracy as we know it is under attack
and if there were ever a time for working people
to unite around this country, this is that time. Look,
I've started started off as a public school teacher, organized
in communities to ensure that we protect the very fundamental
rights of the access to education and housing and healthcare

(21:07):
and transportation, good paying jobs. These are all of the
things that we fought for after the Civil War, and
now this president is literally attacking the sanctity of what
this democracy is about, securing opportunities for every single person
who wishes to call the city of Chicago or this
country their home. That's what's under attack right now. But
I'm grateful that there are organizers around the city of

(21:29):
Chicago and throughout the country as I have conversations with
mayors that are very clear and determined that we're going
to defend this democracy, protect our humanity, and put an
end to this tyrant.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Julio.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
My concern, it's not just for Chicago or Portland or
anywhere else, is as the Trump administration goes into these places,
they're not Washington, d c. Where the government controls it's there.
It is hostile territory, and even the cops don't seem
to be on our side.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Absolutely, I mean, I mean, this is I mean, it's
insurrection and simple, like an actual real insurrection. It's a
low level right now, But I mean the fact that
the Chicago police were ordered to not respond to a
crowd forming on Border Patrol and ICE agents because of
a agent involved shooting defensive shooting missould note. That's a problem.

(22:21):
I mean, at a minimum, they're supposed to be there
for crowd control, and by the time that they were
finally there, it was too late. The situation had gotten
so out of control that Border Patrol had to use
tear gas to clear everybody out because they were done
with the investigation, the initial you know, combing through of
the scene.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
So this is.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
Being perpetuated by the Democratic Party, and they're saying it,
they're openly saying it right now that if they get
back into power in twenty twenty eight, they're going to
go after ICE. They're going to go after Border Patrol
for the crime of enforcing immigration law that's been law
for a number of years.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Right.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
This isn't anything new. This is not putting people in concentration.
Campus is not ethnic cleansing, running of this other nonsense.
The border was open for four years. None of this
would have happened. We would not be in this position
now if the Biden Harris administration purposely opened the border
and allow millions of people from all over the world
to come in. The American people said, no, we're not
gonna put up with that. We're gonna go with President
Trump this time around again because this needs to be fixed.

(23:19):
So all of this is the Democrat's fault, and it's
just a way to shift blame and to try to
consolidate power, as they always do, right, and they're using
their street activists, their street radicals to achieve that and
try to say, well, no, oh, look at this, you know,
repression that we're that we're facing now from the foul government.
So yeah, because you're the ones encouraging it, this is

(23:39):
your fault.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Olio, stay safe out there, my brother, happy for you.
All Right, we're going to talk about the border.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Before we talk about the border, I want to talk
to you about chips. I love chips so much, you know.
I recently I made my old famous smoked keeso. I'm
the smoker, and you know what I dipped in it?
Massive chips. Massive chips. They're the only chips I can
eat where I don't get the long face from the wife,

(24:13):
because it's just three ingredients. It's not all this cancer
causing filth that's in every other chip. But of course
I know exactly what you're thinking right now. Oh so
they're gross full disclosure. That's the exact same thing I
thought when my buddy Cernovich told me about Massive Chips.
I said, okay, so it's flavorless trash. They're the best
chips I've ever had in my life.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
They're amazing, just a good crunch on them.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I have to fight my youngest son over him, and
he's a junk food freak. He prefers them over other chips.
Three ingredients, not crap, good stuff. Eat it guilt free.
You won't feel all bloated and horrible afterwards. Massive Chips
dot Com, slash Jesse TV.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
We'll be bad. Well again.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
I know there's a lot of good, lot of bad,
but let's focus on something that is wonderful. We are
officially at a net negative for immigration in this country
for the first time in a long time. And I
understand we've got about another fifty million. I mean, who
knows how many to get out. But right now the
border is closed. The border is secured, and we're deporting
people and we are slowly getting our country back and

(25:27):
it's a good thing. Joining me now, Emmon Blair, Senior
Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, which is a
wonderful organization by the way, if you're not familiar. Also
former Border Patrol Army.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Ammen. I'm happy, man.

Speaker 8 (25:41):
Yeah, this is all good news. All the numbers are
pointing in the right direction, amman.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Can you explain how it happened so fast? How was
it so fast to go from a border that's wide
open to one that is sealed up tight.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (25:58):
Sure, it's really at the end of the day, following
the rule of law, that's all we had to do,
the law of expelling those that are here illegally, or
actually pushing back those that are trying to come into
our country or make incursions between the ports of entry
and just simply not letting them in. Really, that's, at
the end of the day, what really happened at our

(26:19):
southern border. And so when you look at that and
you look at that measurement of illegal or apprehensions that
our southern border, that's a good one. As well as
the Fentel seizures that are Southern border. But something that's
kind of that maybe your public or your audience needs
to understand is, unfortunately, those are really one of the
only two metrics we're really looking at in terms of

(26:42):
whether the border is secure or not. I know that
you served in the Marine Corps for quite some time,
and if you were in a contingency operation overseas, how
would you measure whether that border that you were trying
to defend is secure? Now, unfortunately, for US, because EHS
is the lead agency, we measure it by terms of apprehensions, turnbacks,

(27:05):
and god aways and that's what's codified in law, and
so it's immigration metrics. And then we also have drug
seizure metrics like fentanyl. But by all measures, unfortunately, the
border is still operationally controlled by the Mexican cartels. They
just have decided to move some of their smuggling organ
operations outside of the Southern border area of operations.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, Amen, that is news to a lot of people.
Please expand on that. If they're not crossing the border,
where are they crossing? Sure?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
A great question.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
So, and I'm not talking specifically about illegal aliens, but
a lot of the illegal aliens that are coming across
now are those that don't want to get caught, so
they're going to be in camouflage, just like what Breitbart
puts out, or your friend Brandon Darby, he puts out
all the pictures of the illegal aliens in camouflage or

(28:01):
wearing carpet shoes, and they're bypassing border tral agents and
other law enforcement along the border. And how they're doing
that is they're utilizing surveillance and reconnaissance assets through drones.
The real Grand Valley sector where I served recently had
over forty thousand drone incursions. There are so many drones

(28:21):
in the air that sometimes we can't even have air
support inside the air.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
And so when you have.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
That ability to see the entire operational environment, you can
dictate to the smuggling organizations on the ground exactly where
to go, what area law enforcement is currently not president
and you can bypass us. You can go on Twitter
today and actually see smuggling organizations posting their drone videos

(28:51):
of guiding illegal aliens inside the country. So also narcotics,
all you have to do is look at the price
of cocaine right now, it's actually decreased, and the reason
being is the amount of cocaine inside the United States
is unprecedented. The cartels have just shifted. Since we're only

(29:11):
looking at fentanyl seizures, the cartels have completely shifted their
commodity and that is going to be meth in cocaine. Imagine,
like back in the day we used to talk about
like the Caribbean.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
We would go after the.

Speaker 8 (29:23):
Caribbean where really the smuggling trade of cocaine was really
prevalent in like Florida and on along the coast, and
then it shifted when we shifted our priorities to that area,
shifted to Mexico and then so now unfortunately it's shifted back.
And that's why you're seeing President Trump make those military

(29:45):
attacks on three in the Aragua and the gunboats or
the drug boats in the Caribbean, and that is because
the operations by the cartels, whether from Venezuela or Mexico,
have shifted back in that region.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Eman, can you tell me, because it never comes up right,
Everyone just looks south, But we have a very very
large border north. Is it a problem or do we
at least have that one fairly locked down?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Great question.

Speaker 8 (30:11):
In fact, I was just in Canada this week. I
was speaking with the First Nations Chief of Police or
of their peacekeepers. I was there with their Canadian law
enforcement as well as public officials as well as their
Fentanylan borders are I'm unfortunately here to tell you and
your audience that the cartels, like I said, they shift,
and they shifted to Canada as well as the Chinese triad.

(30:35):
And since we have not placed a lot of our
resources to include manpower technology on our northern border, as
well as not really assisting the First Nations or the
Native American travel areas in terms of understanding what is
coming across and who's coming across, it is completely open
game for the Mexican cartels to traffic both north and

(30:58):
south that is also illegal aliens. Look before, when the
Mexican cartels in the first parts of the Biden administration,
they were flying illegal aliens as well as cartel members
from Mexico City to Quebec, and then they started creating
their own version of a pipeline or a or a

(31:23):
silk road have you, from that area into the United
back into the United States. So as it stands right now,
that is a major hub in the Canadian the provinces
in Canada. That's why they came down and reached out
to us at Texas Public Policy Foundation, and they're asking, look,
under the Biden administration, Texas, they came out on top.
They figured out a way to push the federal government

(31:45):
and try to secure its communities. Please come and help
our communities when our federal government is not willing to
look at the Mexican cartels, look at the CCP and
their proxy, the Triads, and any other criminal organizations, please
come and help us. And so as it stands now,
that's what we're doing. We were in Canada this week.
We're going to be continually working with Canadian our Canadian

(32:08):
partners up there, whether that's the Mounties, the military, law
enforcement services, as well as the private industry actually secured
the northern border.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
An A final question here, Donald Trump has said over
and over again, you know, declared war on the cartels,
eradicate the cartels. Do you get the impression we are
going to start doing kinetic things inside Mexico?

Speaker 8 (32:33):
Great question, man. I sometimes I really wish the infantry
soldier in me and I know the marine and you
really wants to go out and just completely lay waste
to the Mexican cartels.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
We really do.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
But really, just like what happened in the first Trump administration,
President Trump instead of designating the cartels as foreign terist
organizations in twenty nineteen, he backed off and instead created
the US Mexico Canada Agreement, that trade agreement for free trade.
And so he backed off going after the cartels and
then instead went after Maduro and then the Venezuelan cartels,

(33:09):
right the Cartel of the Suns and then trafficking coming
out of Venezuela. You can see that now a lot
of the hits that are taking place in the Caribbean
that's not Mexican cartels, though they are connected either to
CGNG and Sinaloa. Those are connected to Venezuela. And so
what we're seeing is we're seeing more of a foreign
diplomacy or diplomatic efforts against Mexico, whether that is decreasing

(33:32):
the visas from their elected officials, whether that is the
threat of tariffs. But at the end of the day,
that's really not making a mark on the Mexican cartels.
They're in sixty five countries. Like I said, they're shifting
their operations at Canada, the country of Poland just had
to wipe out a massive left lab sell right on

(33:53):
the border of Poland and Germany. So the cartels are
just shifting, still operating their command or headquarters inside of Mexico.
So yes, we definitely do need kinetic action against the
cartels as well as all the other asymmetrica warfare ways
and means to go after them, whether that's foreign diplomacy
or any other means. But do I see that, Unfortunately no,

(34:19):
Because of that trade, we are dependent on Mexico for
a lot of things, but especially food. Right now, Jesse,
we can't even feed ourselves. If we were to cut
off all of our foreign trade agreements and all of
our imports, we could not even feed ourselves. We are
dependent on the Mexican cartels since they control agriculture in

(34:42):
Mexico to feed us. And so until that dependency comes
away from Mexico and the cartels, it is going to
be very difficult to come to the table in terms
of hey, we need you to link security and trade together.
We need you to take care of the cartels when
they're like, well, you can't even and feed yourselves.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Evan, we'll talk again very soon, my friend. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Now we have to talk about China. Now, speaking of which,
does your cell phone company they hire a bunch of
foreigners when you have to get a hold of somebody,
Everizon At and T T Mobile? Do they speak and
understand English? Are they pleasant? Or is it a nightmare?

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Will you have to repeat yourself twenty times?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Representative?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
I know what it's like. I have Pure Talk.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
My cell phoned company loves this country. When they give back,
they give back to veterans, not black lives matter. CEO
of Pure Talk walk the jungles of Vietnam. Two tours
with mac v sog. Pure Talk hires Americans. Oh and
you'll pay less? Why not switch? Go to puretalk dot
com slash jessetv in switch We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
We are hot and cold with China.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
We need them, We hate them, they are our enemy,
but we need It's an ugly situation that Trump is
trying to navigate here and now we're hearing all kinds
of things about rare earth, rare earth this, and rare
earth that, and China's not gonna let us have them.
I don't know what any of this means. So that's
why we need the senior vice president of business relations
at Liberty University.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
My friend Dave Bratt.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Dave, Okay, first of all, everyone says rare earths, as
if we all know what that means.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
What does that mean?

Speaker 9 (36:40):
I just yeah, I'm not the expert in chemistry or whatever,
but they're the rare earth minerals needed for the production
of the high tech sector, from chips to everything, to
all of our electric vehicles on down the line, and
so they're absolutely critical.

Speaker 10 (36:57):
And so you're on the money to be covering today, brother.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Dave.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
So I guess we should probably rewind a little bit here.
How did we get ourselves in a position where China
is able to control these things and we don't.

Speaker 9 (37:13):
Yes, because for the past thirty years, our geopolitical experts
have been wrong about the nature of China and communism.
They hoped, and I was kind of with them thirty
years ago, if you get the you know, the kids
rich and get them Mercedes Benz, they'll become capitalists and
we'll all live happier together. But that shift never occurred.

(37:33):
It was never even close to occurring. G has outflanked
us left and right. We've we are addicted to them
and to many other sectors. You know, with national security concerns,
and part of the problem is in the US internally,
right the enemy within and you know, I wouldn't call

(37:54):
them that, but the fortune five hundred CEOs. They're about
profit maximization up until the last month before where you
lose your country. And so that's how we got here. Right,
everybody's looking out for their own narrow self interest. No
one's looking out for the welfare of the country as
a whole until President Trump comes along with America first,
and then all of a sudden, it's a whole new paradigm.

(38:15):
It's a whole new shift in you know, hemispheric dominance.
And he's taking it to China and he's absolutely right
to do that, and we're way late.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Okay, So the taking it to China part is that
why China is getting all huffy and saying, hey, when
no rare Earth's for you, where is this trade war going?
It seems like it escalates and then it dies down,
and it escalates and then it dies down.

Speaker 10 (38:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (38:42):
Well, you know, Trump, Trump levied significant tears on them,
they responded, and you know it's gonna be interesting because
Trump takes his public image seriously. In this Taco thing right,
you know, the the change it up and down.

Speaker 10 (38:57):
Like you just said, he's getting sick of that narrative.

Speaker 9 (38:59):
And so I think, you know, I'm friends with some
other Trumpians in his universe, and they think it's time
to go full on in all the Chinahawks for the
past five years have been counseling us to d couple.

Speaker 10 (39:16):
Now.

Speaker 9 (39:16):
Of course Wall Street will have a heart attack at
that and it will involve pain. And we're thirty seven
trillion in debt on the fiscal side. We've been run
debasing our currency on the monetary side, and the American
people do not want to eat their spinach, and so
it's a cultural problem as well.

Speaker 10 (39:34):
If you tell the American people you.

Speaker 9 (39:35):
Might have to suffer a little to get past a
big hurdle here with China, I'm not sure they're willing
to go there.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, it's just one of those things that both parties
have tried before and it fails every time.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Dave, you need to suffer.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
It's just not a winning political message.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Midterms are coming up.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Donald Trump doesn't want to be impeached every other day.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
It's a problem.

Speaker 9 (39:59):
Yeah, No, And I ran on all that, you know,
That's why I was in for four years and then
booted out. But I ran on the budget, immigration and
to Eat your Spinach campaign and then lost to the
CIA person that's running for governor of Virginia.

Speaker 10 (40:12):
Now that's a whole other story. Get me on that
one some other day.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Dave talk to me about Greenland. Obviously, this is something
that got pretty famous because Trump kept talking about just
taking it, we want it, We're gonna buy it. And
he's not letting off of this. He's not just screwing
off on social media.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
What's the deal with all this?

Speaker 9 (40:31):
Yeah, well, I think it's all related to, you know,
our hemispheric dominance. Before it wouldn't have been questioned with
him Monroe doctrine or whatever. There was no question, But
now there is questions.

Speaker 10 (40:43):
Russia.

Speaker 9 (40:44):
China's making huge inroads into Brazil, a bunch of South
America and Russia. Now we've driven into the arms of China.
That's the major screw up of the last several years
coming from our globalist you know, European Union friends who
are not friends at all. And so I think Trump

(41:05):
wants to firm up. But all the waterways, all the
military strategic points up north as well Alaska, Russia. It's
all up there, right, do your geography on that. And
there's more than meets the eye when it comes to
Greenland and all the sea ways up up far north,
the defensive systems going up up in the North Pole,

(41:28):
and it's a whole new world, Dave.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Donald Trump is getting some well deserved accolades for being
the peace president right now, coming off with Masteel and
all this other stuff, and all that stuff is great,
but there is still one big hot one that has
not not been solved just yet. What's the update on
Russia Ukraine?

Speaker 10 (41:50):
I do not know. I think you know.

Speaker 9 (41:52):
I love President Trump on Israel. Everything a plus on
this one. I don't know if they got to him
or changed his life logic on this. But in my view,
right this all start with a coup atad that the
Uscia did on Ukraine way back in fourteen, et cetera.
Putin's made it very clear this is not a negotiation. Right,

(42:13):
they will be or at least, you know, the eastern
part of Ukraine will be a buffer zone. We lied
to them about seventeen other countries. We said we wouldn't
move an inch further to the east. James Baker the
third and the Bushes made those promises.

Speaker 10 (42:27):
Obviously we didn't keep.

Speaker 9 (42:29):
Our word, and so Putin has been very moderated in
his views, especially with what Europe is doing to him
right now. And now they've got President Trump, you know,
threatening medium, long term stuff going into Russia, which to
me is just crazy. But I think President Trump is
being told he's got to use leverage. That's the only

(42:50):
way to stop the strong man. Instead of no, I
think you just do what Putin offered two years ago
into peace agreement. You know, I want these two pieces
of eastern Ukraine and there's not going to be any
security agreements, there's not going to be any NATO expansion,
and that's that was the deal they offered us.

Speaker 10 (43:08):
And it was fine. It's fine for the.

Speaker 9 (43:11):
US for America first, but the Europeans are itching for
a fight with somebody because their economies are bankrupt literally
and I don't know what they're selling to President Trump,
but I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Dave as always, thank you, brother, Hey, thank you brother.

Speaker 10 (43:31):
Great show.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
We have light in the mood.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Next, all right, it's time to lighten the mood. Don
Lemon's an idiot and people always tell him about it.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Okay, crossing the border illegally is not a crime.

Speaker 11 (43:52):
No, it's not a criminal act. It's a misdemeanor. So
why are they being sent back and saying that they're
breaking the law.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
That's the point, Okay, somebody.

Speaker 11 (44:00):
That we don't know what they're breaking the law because
they won't tell. There's no due process. Where's the evidence?
That's the whole point. And if they are breaking the law,
most people will say, Okay, then they need to go
if they're criminals. But if they're not, why are they
being rounded up and sent out, especially when he promised
to deport the criminals and now he's not doing that.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
I don't think we're going crime, So mime.

Speaker 11 (44:23):
Is it's not a criminal act. No, if you get
charged with a misdemeanor.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
That's not a criminal if it's not a criminal act.

Speaker 11 (44:30):
Because we have different levels of crime, everything is not
the same. You know, you have different levels of I
shouldn't say crime, but it's not. It's not you're not
it's not a crime. You're not breaking the law. I
mean you are breaking the law, but it's not a
criminal act. No, you're not breaking the law. There are
there are rules that are processes that you should follow. Yeah,

(44:51):
so you're breaking rules. You're breaking the rules, but you're
not necessarily breaking the law.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Maybe the in the studio, I'll see them at.

Speaker 5 (45:04):
Mm hmmm mmm

Speaker 10 (45:08):
Mm hmmm
