Speaker 1 (00:02):
DEI is dead. No, it is not. No, it is not.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We're going to talk about that tonight. Robbie Starbuck joins
us to talk about that. Jeffrey Tucker, all this new
mRNA stuff. We have updates on ice raids. What a
show tonight on I'm right, you know what. The worst part,

(00:27):
one of the worst parts about being in the Marine Corps.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Was because this is going to come back to DEI.
Stay with me.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's going to be about DEI and cultural Marxism and
the culture wars where we're at right now.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Just stay with me.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
But one of the things that bothered me the most
about the Marine Corps was this fire watch. You ever
heard of that before? Every marine's nodding his head. But
here's what firewatch is. Wherever you are, whether you're in
the barracks, maybe you're out in the field during peacetime
at a military base somewhere, and of course when you're

(00:58):
actually in combat in Iraq. But no matter what, when
it's time to go to sleep at night, there are
always people awake. You take turns an hour on, four
hours off, whatever, but you always have some people awake
and watch it. It's called firewatch. And I hated it.

(01:19):
You know why I hated it? Not all the time,
don't be wrong. It was never fun to wake up
for firewatch. But I hated it because you would finish
maybe a mission, maybe a long training op, and you're
finally done, and everyone's exhausted, and let's say it was peacetime.
You're safe, you're out in the deserts of California or
something somewhere, and they would still make somebody stay up

(01:42):
every time.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Can't we all just go to sleep?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
That was my thinking, That was really most of our thinking.
But no, you see, you always need to be watchful, always,
no matter where you are, no matter what you've done,
because there is always danger out there somewhere. Right now,
we are getting great things out of the Trump administration.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I am so impressed so far.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Trump two point zero is so superior to Trump one
point Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm not even sure that the same.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Human being at this point in time, speaking clearly, overwhelmingly
getting things done, talking about two genders right away.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy
of the United States government that there are only two genders,
male and female.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes, speaking clearly getting things done, and we're watching all
these news stories out there about how they're eliminating DEI
from every single government department. It's not just the federal government.
In the corporate world DEI. Their departments are shuddering day
and night. Universities across the country are closing their DEI.
All this anti white man, racist filth that has spread

(03:02):
through this country.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
It's closed. It's closed. He gets closing.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
We've even got the Trump administrations out there taken out
military leaders like this Linda Fagen with the Coastguard.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
We currently have nearly forty percent women enrolled at the
Coastguard Academy. I'm really excited about the talent and the
diversity that I see coming through the academy. My daughter
is in the Coast Guard as a lieutenant, and there
is just nothing but opportunity for her and all of
the men and women that have joined the service. I'm
really excited about the future as we look ahead.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Very exciting.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
We're getting all these men out of here and we're
only hiring women.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's very exciting.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But she's fired now, and so I'm seeing a lot
of this, a lot of.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
This from our side. The Eyes Dead. We finally did
at the Eyes Dad, it's over. Listen.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Now is a time to be happy, celebrate, and be hopeful.
But you still have to have a firewatch. You still
have to be watchful in aware because yes, many, many,
many people are having their sick communist powers taken away

(04:22):
from them. Yes, they're closing this department in that department,
But are you actually changing the hearts of these people?
Have they decided to reform their evil ways and from
now on they'll only do the right thing.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I want you to tell you what.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
I'm going to play that Linda Fagen video for you
again and I just want you to think look at
it this time through this lens. That was a woman
who was put in charge of the Coast Guard. The
Coast Guard, as much as we love to make fun
of the coasts, is a wonderful institution with an incredible
history and a very important mission to guard the vast

(05:00):
coast of the United States of America, to keep this
country safe. They stand guard at night. That's what the
Coast Guard does. That woman was given the incredible privilege
of commanding this institution, and she promptly watched this again
through that lens.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
She promptly went about.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
The business of censoring out the people she didn't want
in the favor of I don't know, a new legion
of lesbians here she is.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
We currently have nearly forty percent women enrolled at the
Coastguard Academy. I'm really excited about the talent and the
diversity that I see coming through the academy. My daughter
is in the Coastguard as a lieutenant, and there is
just nothing but opportunity for her and all of the
men and women that have joined the service. I'm really
excited about the future as we look ahead.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Handed all that, and she was most excited about discriminating
against white men. Do you think Linda Fagin, as she
sits at home today with her cats and her crew cut,
do you think that she's changed her heart? All those
DEI departments at universities, after government departments, after corporations, all

(06:19):
the little monsters who used to operate those departments, are
they all sitting at home now saying to themselves, Ah,
that was evil?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know what it was wrong? It was deadly.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I hurt a lot of people, and I have changed
my ways. Of course, you're laughing because the answer is no.
The religious Zealots are just as religious today as they
were yesterday.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
And I'm not saying all this to bring you down.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
We should be happy. We are seeing so many improvements.
I am happy. I am so impressed, and I would
tell you if I was not what I am so impressed.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I'm so happy.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
But DEI is not dead because DEI is communism, and
communism is a religion, not a political ideology, and the
adherence to that religion. They are zealous, they are evil,
and they will consume and destroy without end. Yes, you
can finally go to sleep. You'll want a good election.

(07:16):
Knock out for a couple hours, take a nap. You
better leave a firewatch up, because I promise you the
enemy is still prowling to and fro looking for things
to destroy. They haven't gone anywhere. They might be a
little quieter right now. They might be crying in their
Subaru outbacks, but I promise they haven't gone anywhere. All

(07:39):
that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.
Robbie Starbuck is well aware of what's going on inside
the government. These DEI people are hiding, and Robbie is
going to join us next to discuss that. Before we
get to Robbie, let's talk about your phone service.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Speaking of corporations.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Do you think Verizon, A and T Mobile do you
think they've just completely given up their evil ways? Sorry, guys,
no more Black Lives Matter donations for us.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
That was wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You see any of those statements. No, you haven't, because
they haven't changed anything. We still have to put our
money where our morals are, and your cell phone is
one of, if not the easiest way to do that.
Switch your cell phone service to pure Talk. It takes
ten minutes. You can get a free.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Phone either the thing you pay way less.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
They're on the same five G network, pure Talk, dot
com slash Jesse TV.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Switch We'll be back.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
In the name of our God, I ask you to
have mercy upon the people in our country. You're scared now.
There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican
and independent families, some who fear for their lives. And

(09:16):
the people, the people who pick our crops and clean
our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat
packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants,
and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not
be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast

(09:38):
majority of immigrants are not criminals. I ask you to
have mercy, mister President, on those in our communities whose
children fear that their parents will be taken away, and
that you help those who are fleeing war zones and
persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Here a reminder. Just like I said in the opening, Yes,
it is a time to cheer and celebrate and feel
good because all this cultural CAMMI filth. They are turtling
up right now. They are pulling back, but they are
not done destroying.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
They are regrouping.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Joining me now somebody who has kept them on the run,
my friend, filmmaker and activist Robbie Starbuck.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Robbie, it does feel good.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
The I is retreating a bit right now, but they're
not at all done, and they certainly haven't disappeared, have it.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
No.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
I've heard a lot of people saying DEI is dead,
and I get the reflexive desire to go celebrate, and
you should. People should celebrate, but don't celebrate too hard
because it is not dead.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
It's like a cornered, wounded animal. Right now.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
We have the opportunity to kill DEI, we absolutely do,
but it is going to take us being ferocious and
showing absolutely no mercy. We have them in a great
position right now because they're going to do a lot
of stupid things out of you know, trying to sort
of save their own skin and their ideology. We just
have to stay on top of it, and we have
to be absolutely merciless in the way that we handle this.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Robbie, tell me about these executive orders you've seen so far.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
What do you love? What are the details of these things?

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Yeah, so, essentially this is gutting DEI from the federal government,
and it's setting you know, sort of as a first
order of business, to get rid of the DEI programs,
to put certain employees on leave, and to sort of
draw a line in the stand of what is going
to be allowed and not going to be allowed anymore.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
And there is some clarity.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
I would like on one end, because they're saying that
people who are attempting to conceal DEI have ten days
to come forward, and if they don't, they're going to
be adverse consequences. I would like to know what those
adverse consequences are. I think that's very important that we
know what those consequences are. And I do think one
of the next, you know, sort of orders of business
for government at this point is that we need to

(11:53):
take seriously the one of the big problems that occurred
in the first Trump administration was the bureaucracy worked against him.
If I the orders of the president at every turn,
or they slow walk them in an attempt to stop
him from being able to do his job.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
I think that we need to ramp.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
Up the pressure on those bureaucrats by creating a real
set of consequences that include serious jail time. If we
do that and we actually enforce even maybe existing laws
and say that this could be categorized as some form
of treason, I think then we're going to be in
a good footing to actually root this stuff out. I
can tell you just my own experience over the last

(12:29):
twenty four hours. These agencies are attempting to conceal DEI already.
I put up the documents from an NSA whistleblower last
night on my x page, where it very clearly shows
that the NSA was planning to conceal their DEI program
under a new name. I got that up. Elon Musk
responded to it. They are going to be on this.
They're going to stop it, but we're going to need

(12:50):
to go agency by agency investigating them to ensure that
every piece of these programs is obliterated.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Robbie, I'm glad you expose them for what they are,
because I'm hearing very similar things about the FBI. People
I know within the walls that that building are warning me.
Of course, they closed down their DEI office and all
they did was send that cancer to every other part
of the place so we can continue to do its work.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
What have you heard?

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Yes, I actually posted last night same thing. The very
next group of people that came to me were from
the FBI, and we're working on corroborating the details of
what they gave us. But essentially it would mean the
FBI was planning to do the same thing. And here's
what's so dangerous is if you don't fire these people,
you're then sending a new seed to a whole new
department across many different places, which I would argue is

(13:40):
actually possibly going to be more damaging than having a
standalone DEI program where they're all in one place. If
you have them sort of, you know, put their roots
in in different sections of the agencies, you have basically
moles for this ideology, and I think it's also time
that we are very clear in the way we talk
about this is not just an ideology that's toxic that

(14:02):
we don't like, that is you know, left wing and
nature and basically you know, allegiant to some new weird
form of Marxism with very frankly bizarre tentacles.

Speaker 7 (14:12):
It's actually a national security threat.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
This is something that could really, if you let it
play out, could destroy our country and could destroy our future.
You saw that crazy, you know, want to be bishop
lady talking about fear for children. Well, I'm afraid for
our grandchildren. They're going to live in a country that's
attacked by another country. And we are so weak and
discombobulated by this ideology that we're destroyed and our kids
kids are killed as a result of our failures.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
So we need to be on top of this now.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
This is a national security threat in every way, not
just because we have an anti American ideology that is
festering within our government, but also because, just on the
very clear basis of merit, we are hiring people who
are unfit to do their jobs. They're making us weaker
as a byproduct, and we cannot afford to shift our
standards downward to bring up people who shouldn't be there

(15:00):
in the first place. So it's incumbent on us. And
I think it says something that this is one of
the first orders of business that the Trump administration. President
Trump understands how important this issue is. We need merit
once again to rain. And so it's going to be
on each individual new appointee that Trump makes who is
in leadership to make this their first order of business
as well, and to deploy those teams to go and investigate.

(15:21):
I myself have made myself available no cost or anything.
You know, We're not like these grifters in DEI who
want consultant fees and all that stuff. I've made myself
available to give every bit of advice I can give
and to sort of point out where the bodies are
buried within agencies. And we're happy to continue doing that
and offer that advice and help in any way that
we can, because this is critical to root out or

(15:42):
it is going to be the roots by which we
see the next evil tree of leftism grow that essentially
can destroy our country the way we saw the Biden administration.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
They were on the way there. If Kamala had won,
this would have been it.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
And that same tree can grow once again if you
do not cut out the roots and strip them out
entirely and poison ground where it grew.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Robbie, I agree. Tell me about your fight in the
corporate world. What's the update on that. That's obviously what
really got rolling here. You were taking down these big
commedy corporations. We've got McDonald's on the run, Walmart on
the run now. But are they doing the same thing
we're seeing at the NSA and FBI where they're taking
the commy hag at Dei and.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Putting her back in HR where she used to work.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
So that's a good question, I'll say this. So there's
a clip going around today of a lady at the
World Economic Forum talking about how Walmart didn't really make changes. Well,
she's wrong, but she did do something that I would
like to thank her for. She named the person who
told her this, And I can just say I'm in
conversations right now with the company, and I think I'll
be able to give an update later either today or

(16:48):
tomorrow on exactly what's happening there.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
But I can say the companies we're working with.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
I would say nearly all of them, I can say
with confidence have actually gutted the programs. They've actually done
what they said they were going to do, and we
are checking And I think what makes what we do
a little different than people who do investigative journalism in
other sort of areas is that our investigations are all
predicated on the testimony of whistleblowers who work at these companies,

(17:16):
so we can check in with them or they can
come to us if there are any issues that pop
up again.

Speaker 7 (17:21):
And we're very clear about that with our whistleblowers. You
see one thing wrong, you let us know.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
And it has happened a number of times where they
see something wrong, they come back to us and I'll
go back to the executives, I'll talk it through with
them and we'll get the things fixed. Or in the
case of one company that we're continuing to collect evidence on,
they're continuing to think they're getting away with it, but
we're actually just collecting evidence for a future story to
be able to out them once again for their misbehavior.
And so we're able to hold companies accountable because of

(17:47):
these whistleblowers and that's sort of what makes things very special. Now,
will companies be preparing to do what we just talked
about where they just changed the name and that's oh, absolutely,
they're doing it right now.

Speaker 7 (17:58):
A number of companies are doing that.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
We've been collecting data on a lot of these companies
for I guess be about eight months now, so we
have a wealth of information collected and folders on most
of the major American or global companies, and it's stuff
we can use later to be able to sort of
rain them in and correct any mistakes on the way
that they're doing these things.

Speaker 7 (18:20):
So we're watching.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
It's just, you know, the difficult part for US is
scaling up to handle the number of companies there are
that are a problem, and so a big part of
the next few weeks for US is continuing to scale
up to the appropriate you know, sort of force we
need to be able to do this, and that's that's
what we're doing right now, is getting everything prepared for
the rest of the year, because effectively, I think if
we do everything correctly, we can have effectively newter DEI

(18:43):
to the degree that you could actually say DEI is
dead in eighteen to twenty four months. But it's going
to take concerted effort across that eighteen to twenty four
months to really kill it. And people have to be
very aware. We cannot get complacent just because Trump won
the election. This is going to be a serious threat
at every turn over the next four years because they
understand what an existential crisis this presidency is for leftism,

(19:06):
and so it's going to take us too to motivate
Trump and motivate the administration in the right direction. So
people have got to stay engaged. They cannot get complacent, stay.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
In the fight.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Robbie as always, thank you, my friend. All Right, the
ice raids have begun. How's that going? We get anybody yet,
We'll give you an update on the ice raids getting
these illegals out of our country in just the moment.
And after you hear that, you're probably gonna want to
go to sleep, well, at least after the show's over.
It's probably about bedtime. So are you sure you're going

(19:40):
to sleep tonight. I'm going to sleep tonight. I don't
have any doubt. But what about if you had a
cup of coffee or you can't turn your mind off?
I have dream powder from beam. I never have to
go without sleep again. When I'm maybe stressed or too
much caffeine or something like that, I just have a
cup of hot chocolate cinnamon hot chocolate is delicious, Warm

(20:02):
up a little glass of milk in the microwave, stir
in some dream powder from Beam.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
And I just sip on it.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
But it's got natural things in it, like belotonin, and
I just go to sleep. I wake up in the
morning feeling rested in good every single day. Do you
want to feel like that? Get rid of that sandpaper
in your eyelids? Up to forty percent off at shopbeam
dot com.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Slash Jesse Kelly, We'll be back.

Speaker 8 (20:38):
We're concentrating on the worst first, the public safety threats,
and that's security threats. And just yesterday, in the last
twenty four hours, I rested over three hundred and eight
three hundred and eight serious criminals. Some of them were murders,
some of them were rapists, some of them raped a child,
some were a sexual sell of a child. So i
SA is doing their job and they're prioritizing just as

(20:59):
a present they would. So the ICE is performing excellent
right now out in the field, and they're going to
continue every.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Day I love it.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I love that they're not backing off, and I love
that they're having Tom Homan on the news every day
to counter all the filthy comedy propaganda. Joining me now,
a couple of dudes who know a little bit about
this stuff. Victor Avila, retired ICE special agent. I bet
he's ready to go back into the game at this point.
And who the o' rosas national correspondent with The Blaze. Victor,

(21:29):
be honest, you're coming out of retirement.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
You've got to be tempted. I'm ready for the call.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
I'll tell you that, Jesse, they call me, I'm ready.

Speaker 9 (21:36):
I actually I was with Tom Holman a couple of
days ago in Washington, DC. I just got back yesterday,
and this doesn't surprise me at all.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
These individuals and our.

Speaker 9 (21:45):
ICE agents HSI special agents, by the way, are also
joining forces with ICE RO officials to conduct these Basically,
what it is right now is they're doing fugitive ops,
which is individuals that have been identified that have been
ordered removed. That's why he's talking about convicted murderers, convicted rapists.

(22:07):
These are convicted hardcore criminals that are illegal walking around
in our communities and we have a jacket on them,
we have what we call a packet on them, and
they're going after them and locating them and removing them.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, Julio, what were we doing before?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I mean, I know Joe Biden and his administration had
a little bit of a different policy when it came
to illegal immigration. But what Victor just said is so simple.
We have a felon, a child rapist, we have a
jacket on him, we know where he is, and they
just what just weren't going to get him.

Speaker 10 (22:44):
Well, it was a little complicated because because Alejandro Myorcis,
he basically changed who ICE prioritized in getting and so
that's why they had to meet certain criteria, extra criterion
or to send out officers to go get them. So, yes,
there were there were similar things happening, but it was

(23:05):
happening on a much a much smaller scale than what
is going to be happening now under under the Trump administration.
And and that's why you know, when you see places
like in sanctuary cities like up in Boston or Denver
and you have the sanctuary city policies, the ICE was

(23:26):
unable to basically push back against those policies because the
Alex hundred of my orchestra's DHS wasn't going to allow.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Them to do that.

Speaker 10 (23:34):
And so now, uh, you know, with Trump putting his
team in, uh, they are going to be more forceful
and say, hey, we're the federal government. You don't tell
us what to do. This is uh, you know, this
is the public safety threats. This is this is the
public safety concerns. So let us into the jails so
that we can pick them up. You don't release them
without letting us know because and as Holman has said,

(23:58):
if they're not going to let them into the jail,
and they're going to go out into the neighborhoods and
so yes, they're going to have the target. But guess
what now if they find other illegal immigrants that are
in the same house or in the same neighborhood, they're
going to going to be going back home too, because
now those people are also now a priority as opposed
to they weren't before.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Victor, I'm concerned about the danger and I realized, look,
any kind of law enforcement is good, it's inherently dangerous.
You have to mix it up with scumbags every day.
It's a dangerous job. But as Julio just mentioned, they
have to go into these neighborhoods, and they're in these
neighborhoods for a reason.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
That's where they.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Feel most comfortable, most welcome. Are you worried about turning
on the news one night and seeing some ice stage
that has been hurt God forbid?

Speaker 9 (24:43):
Absolutely, it's as top of mind as security and safety
for the officers.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Or the community.

Speaker 9 (24:50):
That's why a lot of these locations, if you remember,
it wasn't under the Biden administration, but it actually allows
all the way back to the Obama administration that I
was personally affected where I could go and pick up
an individual. I couldn't go to a school, I couldn't
go to a courthouse, I couldn't go to a church,
a hospital. That is now all out the window. We

(25:11):
are going to be able now to go to these
places where they were seeking refuge. And I personally was
about to arrest a drug dealer at a school who
also happened to be illegally president, and I was ordered
to stand down because of the Obama policy that is
gonna now go out the window and not exist. But

(25:31):
the reason why I tell you this is because these
are more controlled areas where we want to effectively do
this enforcement. It's more controlled, it's better safety for everyone
if we do it this way rather than do it
in the street in public areas where there's more risk.

Speaker 7 (25:47):
For the surrounding people.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Julio, they're talking about schools and churches.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
You know, they came out and said, well, you're not
gonna be able to hide in school, You're not gonna
be able to hide in church anymore.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
And I'm game for that.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Go to the hospitals too, and get all these people
out of there. But how do you handle that optics wise?
So the American people don't freak out?

Speaker 10 (26:10):
You remind them of names like Lincoln Riley and Rachel Moran.
I mean you, you remind them why we are in
this position in the first place, where in this position
in the first place, where all of this is necessary
because the Biden Harris administration opened the border, allowed this
invasion into our country for years, and they try to
hide it with this shell game through the CBP one

(26:31):
app and the CHNB program that you know, allowing people
to fly directly in so they don't have the bad
optics of these mass people at the border, which still
ended up happening just on a different, different scale. That's
why this is necessary, That's this is why Trump won.
The American people saw the disastrous effects that that had
on the nation and they said, no, we're not going

(26:53):
to allow this anymore. And so, yes, like, it's unfortunate
that it's come to this, but this is about the
safety and security of the country. This is about being
able to have a prosperous country and getting rid of
gangs like Threnda at Agua, which I just cannot stress
enough did not have a foothold in our country. Prior

(27:14):
to twenty twenty one. No one hadn't even heard of it.
People don't people still don't know how to pronounce its
name because that's how foreign it still is in some regards.
So I know that there's going to be pushed back
against this. I know that the media is going to
do everything they can to shift the narrative about it.
But this is not just happening because Trump wants to
be meaning to brown people. It's happening because the migrants

(27:36):
themselves are victims. It's because American citizens have become victims
of this, and it's trying to prevent future victims like
Lincoln Riley.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Eric Adams went on Tucker Carl So, this is what
he had to say.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I spoke with the president himselves. I spoke with the
President first.

Speaker 11 (27:54):
Then the President came here to New York City, the
governor and I sat down with to with the President
and I said, mister President, I'm not sure what they're
telling you about this problem, but this is a terrible
problem that's planning out on the ground that we need
to fix our border and we need to just stop
allowing people to come into the country with no destinies.

Speaker 10 (28:15):
And so you tell the President and his aids this,
and what do they say.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
Basically, be a good Democrat, Eric, be a good Democrat.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
That was the basic overall theme.

Speaker 10 (28:26):
You know.

Speaker 11 (28:26):
One of his ages told me that, listen, this is
like a goldstone.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
It'll pass.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
It's like a gallstone.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
It'll pass.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
Yes, it'll hurt now, but it'll pass.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Will you pee it out? Then? Why do you have to?

Speaker 12 (28:43):
Well, said.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
Victor.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
So the Democrat party from top to bottom is simply
committed to keeping the border open, and being a good
Democrat means opening it and not saying anything about it,
or have that right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Because they don't really care. They don't care about Americans,
they care about themselves.

Speaker 9 (29:02):
But here's my concern, and I've been hearing this a
little bit that you're gonna hear and from a lot
of these democrats and sanctuary cities that they're willing, we're
gonna help you. Please Eyes come in, Actually do what
you have to do. Uh, we're not gonna impede you.
We might even support you. But then actually on the floor,
on the ground in the field, you're not they're not

(29:23):
actually getting the help, and they're not opening the you know,
the door for them to come in. That's gonna be
a bigger concern for me. Julio mentioned the jails will
give us access to rikers. Then you know how many
illegal aliens are in there. We already know that the
ones that are having contact with criminal justice systems across
the country, those are the ones that we want.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
They're already in a custody. Let's just pick them up there.

Speaker 9 (29:47):
And transfer them from there to our EYES facility and
process them out. This is where the rubber meets the road.
We don't want to hear words from them anymore. We
want to see the action from these sanctuary towns.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Julio Finally, isn't that illegal?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I mean, look, Victor's right, you got a bunch of
people in rikers in Cook County jail. I mean, do
you name it. There's all kinds of illegals sitting in there.
And I know all these towns are run by a
bunch of dirtball comedies, but don't just get to protect them, right,
I don't care what policies you passed, you can't violate
federal law.

Speaker 10 (30:22):
You know, you're absolutely right, And that's why actually today
it's been reported that Trump's doj they're now sending out
guidance to their people to say, you know, investigate any
state or local official that's going to be impeding our
efforts to enforce immigration law, which presumably that will mean
pressuring them to actually open up the jails and let

(30:42):
them get the targets out and put them into custody
instead of again releasing them out into the street to
commit more crimes. I mean, it's so insane that this
has been allowed to happen for for a very long time,
and it's unfortunately, it is unfortunate that it had to
reach this level for you know, the pressure from DC
need to go out into the rest of the country.
But it seems to be going into that direction. And

(31:05):
Victor is absolutely right that some of them might, you know,
have the nice words, but we're gonna have to see
what actually happens on the ground. And so I'm looking
forward to to be able to help report on that
and see that firsthand for myself, just because, you know,
the most transparent administration in history, the Biden Harris administration,
it completely locked out media from Border Patrol, from DHS. Yeah,

(31:27):
the last time I was with Bard Patrol actually or
with CVP, was in October twenty twenty, right before the election.
That was the last time had any sort of you know,
imbed or ride along with them. And of course they
did that because they didn't want people to actually see
what was happening. And any time they did allow that
to happen a few times, it was very tightly controlled.
So I'm looking forward to, you know, seeing progress on this.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, me too, Fellas be good, come back soon. All right,
Apparently there was a big mRNA roll out last night.
Let's talk about that and other things. Jeffrey Tucker joins
us next. Okay, first of all, who's ross Albritt He

(32:19):
was a founder of something called Silk Road, and he
was in the pen for a.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Very very very long time.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Trump came out yesterday and said, Nope, get out of
jail free, do not PASSCO did not collect two hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
But who is this guy? Most people don't know this story.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Joining me now to talk about that and other things
is the great Jeffrey A Tucker founder and president of
Brownstone Institute.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Okay, Jeffrey, who is his character? He was just a
good kid.

Speaker 12 (32:46):
He was came of age in the utopian tech period
where people were innovating this and innovating that. He was
looking at the drug war saying the drug ward is
not working. So he decided to put together on the
dark web a mark a place that was a free market,
as he as he described it. Mostly most of the

(33:06):
products that were for sale on the Silk Road was
a weed of the sort that you can get in
any big city retail shop now. But it also had
other conducts. But it also had very careful It was
a very interesting place. I went there one time, a
user ratings for the things that were for sales. So
brought some accountability and also safety for people that use

(33:30):
these drugs, and of course they're mini and it meant
that they weren't going to be risking their lives in
strange neighborhoods and dealing with strange people and getting strange products.
So it was quite an innovative idea. But the entire
thing was was invaded by the usual types, right, So

(33:53):
suddenly the Feds were all over it, and when it
really fell apart, they arrested, arrested him, and escapegoaded him
for the behavior of many other actors who got off
scott free. I assume that we have all assumed for
ten years that it was because they were essentially federal actors,

(34:13):
and Coughs skated all of his bitcoin and then put
him through a trial where the drudge gave him two
lifetimes plus forty years, which is, you know, just for
a nice kid who never dealt drugs. He was just
a recredited website, that was it. It's just kind of
a fiery passion that he had in his early twenties.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
That was it.

Speaker 12 (34:32):
And for to get two lifetimes plus forty years is
how should I say, excessive? So he served ten and
his case got the attention of Trump and Trump that said,
this is just scum. This was a mistake the guy made,
but there's no reason to destroy several lifetimes of.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
His So he let him.

Speaker 12 (34:53):
He's letting him out of prison, and now he's going
to be, if he wants to be, a major obviously
a major star, you know, in the tech community and elsewhere.
So it's quite it's quite a glorious thing. His mother,
Lynn Olbricht, had been working for this for ten years.
I remember when he was first sentenced. She was going

(35:16):
around to various meetings where she could forget a hearing
and trying to plete his case. And I befriended her,
and I was always speaking out on behalf of Ross
because I always liked him. I thought he was a
good guy, a product his time in many ways. But
she pretty much alone made this his case. It costs
the lab, you know, and made him kind of famous

(35:40):
in certain circles and have eventually caught the ear of
Trump and Musk. And now it's done. So that happened yesterday.
So we're going to try to let let him get
settled and deal with his new life as a free man.
After having believed he was going to be a life
at prison for life should be suddenly out and he's

(36:01):
got his whole life ahead of him, so we're excited
for him.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Jeffrey, could you just answer this and then we'll move
on to other things. When I hear two life sentences
plus some and when I look at the crimes, they
don't add up, and that normally means he offended somebody
or some entity in the FEDS. You know, that's exactly why,
God he got thrown to the clink. It wasn't just
because he was a murderer in a psychopath. He kept

(36:29):
thumbing his nose at the Feds publicly. That creates that
creates anger, and the FEDS take it out on you.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
What did he do that made them so mad?

Speaker 12 (36:39):
You know, I've thought about this a lot, and I'm
sure he's had a lot of time to think about this.
We'll be talking about this in the coming months, I'm sure.
But for one thing, he accepted the marketplace, accepted a bitcoin,
which in those days was seen as being this non
state currency that garan ted financial independence. It was one

(37:02):
of the first big deployments of this new currency, So
there was that. The other thing that troubles me slightly
is when I think about this marketplace, and I know
your viewers are looking at this going oh at drug marketplace.
That's terrible, But actually the biggest people that were threatened
by such a thing, you know, a peer to peer

(37:23):
marketplace for weed and narcotics, would have been the drug
cartels and the governments that work most closely with him.
And we know those are most governments in the world. So,
you know, one wonders to what extent this was actually
just a cartel deep state operation to punish the guy

(37:45):
for competing with him. I mean, I can't prove that,
but that seems to me that there's more to it
than what we've been told, and I suspect it maybe
something like that.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Two life sentences plus something's not adding up there. Okay,
let's change gears. We all saw the inauguration, and we
all saw the lefty tech bros.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Were all there.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Bezos was there, Zuckerberg was there, Bezos's new arm Candy
was there. And now yesterday we were treated to this
press conference. The CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison got up
and said.

Speaker 13 (38:25):
This, once gene sequence. Once we gene sequence that cancer tumor,
you can then vaccinate the person. Design a vaccine for
every individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer, and
you can make that vaccine, that mRNA vaccine. You can

(38:48):
make that robotically again using AI in about forty eight hours.
So imagine early cancer detection, the development of a cancer
vaccine for your particular cancer aimed at you, and have
that vaccine available in forty eight hours. This is the
promise of AI and the promise of the future.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Jeffrey, I'm fine with medical motivation.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
I love it, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
I'm glad we have the life expectancy we have all
that sounds positively horrific for me, and you're gonna have
to count me.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Out on all that.

Speaker 12 (39:20):
Yeah, Yeah, I like this attitude. I mean, just refuse
any product called mRNA.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
That's it.

Speaker 12 (39:26):
Consumers themselves can drive this nonsense off the marketplace if
they ever attempt to deploy it. AI has nothing to
do with anything. This is just the stupid buzzword they're
throwing around. And then Elon Musk revealed after the fact
that they don't have anything like the money that they're
talking about right now, so it was one hundred percent lies.
I don't understand how Elizabeth Holmes is in.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Jail right now.

Speaker 12 (39:48):
But this guy, you know, Scott Free going around promoting
these snake oil gibberish on TV, lined to everybody about it.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
It's appalling. Now.

Speaker 12 (40:01):
I have had people tell me that they think this
is disreputable and discreditable to Trump, that he would have
given platform to this kind of jibberish. But you know,
I really do think one way possibly to look at
Trump's involvement in this is that he just likes the
fact that these tech moguls are now having to kiss

(40:23):
his ring and say, oh, if I wort for you,
mister president, we would never be able to do this. Oh,
we're big fans of you, we love what you're doing
to this country. Blah blah blah. And that's just sort
of music to Trump's serious. These people have all been
supporters of Obama and then Biden. You know, the tech
bros went full left wing, and for them to shift

(40:44):
and turn to Trump is a delicious irony.

Speaker 10 (40:48):
Whether he.

Speaker 12 (40:50):
Takes it seriously or not, you know, I can't say
for sure, but I will tell you this, he feels
like he was lied to by Fauci on the m
RNA technology, which they told him that the magic of
mRNA technology would be deployed to fix, you know, fix
the great flu from Wuhan. It didn't work, So he's

(41:10):
deeply suspicious of all these kind of medical hucksters that
are out there. I do think it's interesting that one
of the things that Trump did last night does he
froze all activities of the CDC and the NIH and
the FDA, all of them. Froze them all, no public
communications at all until he says otherwise. So that gives

(41:31):
you a sense of what his real views are on
the health bureaucracies.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yeah, what do you make of that particular move? He
leaves the WHO World Health Organization, He tells the CDC,
FDA all communications done now, I'll let you know when
you can speak again. That sounds to me like there's
gonna be a little clean up coming, I think.

Speaker 12 (41:54):
So I was actually very impressed by that, And I
looked back at the CDC and what they had been
saying over the last several weeks, and the last communicate
was I think January I forget now the exact date,
but maybe maybe in January tenth, something like that. And
it's promoting this so called one Health, which is an

(42:14):
integrate you know, buzzword buzzword buzzwords. But what it's saying.
Try to say, is that is that bugs, caterpillars and
birds are no less important than than human beings, and
that you know that that that you know everything is,
everything is the same. This is this is sort of
the corruption of one health. It's one thing to say

(42:35):
all all life depends on other life. Okay, fine, that's
that's beautiful. We can we can read about that and
children's cartoons and stuff. But for the CDC to be
promoting this one health stuff, it's deeply dangerous and deeply totalitarian.
So I can't Again, I can't say for Shore, but
I'm just looking at that last communicate from the CDC

(42:56):
and thinking this would have driven Trump crazy, and he
just might have just said, listen, I don't know what
these bestes are up to, but here's here's the plan.
Nothing say nothing, no communications. Your weekly publication MMWR, which
was evil during COVID. I mean they were putting out
fake science every single day. I mean it was appalling

(43:18):
the lies that were coming out in the MMWR. I
mean it got so bad that Brownson was actually considering
starting a publication to do nothing but refute the lives
of the MMWR. Well he shut it down. I mean
he should have done yesterday. So now the CDC, FTA,

(43:39):
NIH are not allowed to say anything, normally allowed to
change any aspect of the website because don't forget, in
his first term, the CDC was issuing in edicts that
he had no idea what they were issuing. On March twelve,
twenty twenty, the CDC sent out a notification that all
ballots should be mail in.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
For the remember election.

Speaker 12 (44:03):
This is March twelfth, twenty twenty. Now did they ask
the White House about that? I won't think so. They're
operating as a rogue agency trying to overthrow the president.
That we're enabling voter fraud. This is already from March twelve,
twenty twenty. So this is the kind of nonsense that
went on the first term, and.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
He didn't know.

Speaker 12 (44:24):
You know, he arrived thinking that he was the president
and everybody should go along with what his wishes were.
But he didn't understand just how evil people out there
would use these agencies to undermine him. So he's taken
full control and they're actually one of the most interesting
things is I think probably you and I have talked

(44:45):
about this in the past, is the schedule f executive
order that came a fortnight before he left office the
last time, which would have reclassified many people in the
in the civil service as being having jobs that were
responding directly to the president, which is to say that
their jobs could be terminated if they were somehow undermining

(45:08):
the administration's parodies. So the new Schedule F came out yesterday,
and it's the same old Schedule ETH, except broadened.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
This time.

Speaker 12 (45:17):
It's not using the word schedule F now it uses
policy slash career, which I think is deliberately ambiguous, meaning
that every career employee of the federal government, talking about
maybe two million people that deals with policy, is ipso
facto now working for the elected leader of the people.

(45:39):
So it's it's a restoration of government by the people.
This looks to me for all the world. I've read
it like three to five times, and I'm not an attorney,
but it looks to me like a return to nineteenth
centry America before the Penalton Active eighteen eighty three. So
what it means is that these bureaucrats are actually going

(46:01):
to be either either they have to work for the
American people or they're going to have to quit be fired,
and that's where we're heading. So yeah, you know, and
I'm sure you're pleased by this. I mean, I'm, I'm,
I'm I'm delighted in ways. I was expecting some surprises
here because I knew they kept all the stuff into

(46:22):
wraps for a very long time. But I must say
I've been pleasantly surprised. And we need to be careful
about messaging all this. And people are saying, oh, that
he's behaving like a dictator, always issuing these executive orders.
This is terrible, But actually, if you look at them,
every one of them is restoring government to the people.
Every one of them is restoring constitutional structures and getting

(46:44):
rid of all the ways in which the Constitution has
been undermined. And that goes for birthright citizenship too, which
you know, I don't think was ever ever implied by
the fourteenth Amendment. So I think in so many ways
people say he's behaving like a dictator, I don't think so.
But he's doing his exercise and authority of the government
and the deep state and the administrative state.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
That has for so long.

Speaker 12 (47:07):
Actually really been running America, despite whoever the president was.
They're the ones who've been in charge for the last
four years. So these are extraordinary actions. And I love
the fact that the pundit class and that includes me,
you know, can barely keep up with them. I mean,
it's a it's a brilliant thing. He's driving the news cycles.

(47:29):
So the media has been shut out. You read the
New York Times now and it's nothing other than what
you read our video on X yesterday. So you know,
this is kind of fun. I'm enjoying it so far.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I have to.

Speaker 12 (47:43):
I have to give an a plus to the way
government's in conduct me too.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
I am all on board. Jeffrey, thank you so much,
my friend. I know you're under the wedd I hope
you feel better.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Thank you. That was wonderful. We have like the mood.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Next, all right, let's lighten the mood. And before we
do that, I have a little announcement I need to
make about the YouTube channel. You know how I always
tell you to go subscribe to the YouTube channel. Well,
my radio show starts at six pm Eastern time.

watch it at five pm Eastern. You want to catch
the TV show early, go subscribe to the YouTube channel.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
It'll be right there for you. So how about that.
Take your little phone, scan that little thing, subscribe to
the YouTube channel. It's free. Now it's time for lighting
the mood.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah, the Mayor of Philadelphia at a little rally for
the Eagles and the Eagles e A G L E s.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
But that's tougher than it sounds sometimes.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Hee oh mees begs, let's go birds.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
I don't think that was it. I'll see tomorrow.
