The Big Beautiful Bill passes the Senate

Today on the Jimmy Barrett Show:

• Congressman Troy Nehls on the big beautiful bill

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common
sense will see us through With the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
For Houston from Houston dot com. This is the Jimmy
Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind dot Com.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett. So I'm wondering, is this a
good day to talk about driving, because you're probably running
into one or two things, uh during the day today,
and that is either less traffic if you are going
to work, because as you know, Fourth of July is
coming up on Friday and a long holiday weekend, and

(00:50):
we being Americans could not possibly be happy with just
having Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a long weekend. We
have to figure out a way to elongate that. It
would have been better, probably right if Fourth of July
had fallen on a Thursday, so you could take Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

(01:11):
or maybe even better on Wednesday, so you could take
it Wednesday and then just combined it with a you know,
with a you know, Juneteenth or some other holiday that
your company recognizes, and just make it five or six
day weekend. Of the whole thing. Anyway, the traffic patterns
will be a little different for the most part today.
I mean, there's still some of us who are working today,
but there are others who are taking a little extra

(01:34):
time off starting today for the Fourth of July holiday
or maybe you know, working around the holiday as far
as their vacation goes, so they'll be less traffic pretty
much all week. This week, it's been a little bit
less traffic to deal with most of the time. Although
this is the busiest driving day, this is Sunday are
the busiest driving days as far as people who are

(01:56):
probably staying around Texas or around the Houston area and
just looking for things to do in places to go
to just get away for a couple of days. Also,
I don't know about you, I'm preparing for the big
blast because the weather's going to be decent, so there
will be fireworks, and I happen to live in an
unincorporated portion of Harris County where fireworks are perfectly legal.

(02:21):
We've had this discussion many times. I will just briefly
mention again that I have no problem with those of
you who want to set off fireworks. Set off as
many as you want. My dog will have a problem
with it. That's my dog's problem. Well my problem, because
my dog's problem is my problem too. I would only
ask that you try to keep it within reasonable limits

(02:43):
as far as the timeframe that you do it. The
earlier the better, so some of us can actually get
a night's sleep. And you know, that's all I would
ask out of the deal, And even asking for that
usually leads to trouble for people. You can tell me
when I could shoot off my fireworks, No I can't.
I can't tell you that if you live in area

(03:04):
where it's perfectly legal. Now the woodlands, which I'm right
next to, it's not legal the fireworks, so they don't
have that issue. But I don't want to take away
your right to do fireworks. I just asked that you
be neighborly and consider your neighbors. That's all, okay. Now
the other part about driving, let's get to that. I
had a story this morning that we did on our

(03:25):
morning program on KTRH involving a Penn State University professor
who is evidently a professor civil engineering. So as a
professor civil engineering, he has all day to sit around
and to contemplate things like, how could we make driving
less dangerous? And he is determined that he thinks the

(03:50):
best way to make driving less dangerous is to ban
left turns. What ban left turns? What would happen to
Nascar if you band left turns? You know Nascar left
turn and left turn and left turn Ricky Bobby Talladega knights.
I mean, that's about all I know about Nascar, but
it's enough. This professor at Penn State University thinks that

(04:11):
cities should ban left turns at most intersections, saying about
forty percent of all crashes happen at an intersection in
over sixty percent of those accents involved someone making a
left But it leaves out some very important information, such
as at what moment were they making the left turn?

(04:32):
Was the light green for them to be making the
left turn? Was the light yellow? Was the light red?
Were they continuing to make left turns even though the
light had changed. How many of those accidents were caused
by people continuing to make a left turn when they
should have stopped. How many of those accidents were caused

(04:53):
by somebody who was running a red light at the
other end, Which is the danger you run into if
you start to make left turn just as quickly as
the light turns green, because there might be somebody else
at that intersection trying to run the red I would
I would say that if we're going to follow his logic,
that you want to ban left turns because left turns
are more dangerous than what you should ban is red lights,

(05:17):
because people run red lights, and therefore red lights are dangerous.
If you follow my logic, I'm having a hard time
following his logic. So that's that's that's my question. So
we put it out there as a question of the
day at the iHeart Radio app KTRH. Make us number one,
hunderd preset keep PRC number two. I'll be happy with that.

(05:40):
And then you hit the talk pack button and they
started telling us. Our listeners started telling us about this
Penn State professor and his IDs. I don't think they
thought much of it.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Jimmy, Good morning, Ryan from Mike conro Hey regarding banning
these left turns. We can't ban a left turn. If
we ban left turns, then we don't have NASCAR. What
would the world do without NASCAR? Have a good morning.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
There's no way you can do that.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Smart from copper Field there's no way you can band
left turns.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
You just need to have to yep the green light
to turn left. And then also you can have at
some intersections the yell of blinking arrows. But there's no
way that you can band left turns. That's stupid for me.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Ed it doesn't work, is what he's saying. Well, here's
the other part of banning left turns. How do I
get to where I'm going? Does that mean I have
to turn right? Then find a side street to turn down,
turn right, find the next side street to turn down,
turn right, find the next street the side street, turn
right to get back to the same street on the

(06:42):
other side of where the place is. I mean that
that that seems a little crazy to me. But hey,
let's let's go ahead and get some more ideas from you.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Hey, Jimmy, it's Leale from Beaumont.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
We just need to ban stupid drivers, nots.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Hey, this is jim from Houston, Texas. I don't think
that we need to get rid of stupid drivers. I
think we need to get rid of stupid professors banning
left turns. What kind of your brained idea is that?
That's just stupid? Go back to school dude.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
Hey Ethan from Montrose listen, trying to ban left turns
in order to reduce traffic accidents. My question is this,
why are we so desperate to put sky Mike out
of a job. If there were no traffic accidents, what
would he have to do all day?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, it's nice to know that you're worried about sky Mike.
He'll be fine either way. But those are your thoughts.
Of course, you could always leave us thoughts. Again. iHeartRadio
app either ktr H or kPr S. The talkback button
it's there so you can communicate with us whenever you
want to. All right, big beautiful Bill got through the Senate.
I will say that it did get through the Senate.
But what kind of a big beautiful bill is it now?

(07:58):
Is it still a big beautiful bill? More on that
story coming up, by the way, Also from our morning
show today, Congressman Troy Nail's coming up in segment number
three today to talk about the Big Beautiful Bill. So
back with mort to MoMA Jimmy Baird Show here on
AM nine fifty KPRC. All right, the Big Beautiful Bill

(08:34):
ended up passing through the Senate. It's nine hundred and
four pages long. So the folks in the House are
going to have fun going through this trying to figure
out exactly what's going on and what got changed. I
did see the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, was

(08:56):
on Sean Hannity last night. Here's what he had to
say about the Senate version of the Big Beautiful Bill.

Speaker 9 (09:02):
Eighty five to ninety percent of this bill is the
House generated product. The Senate made some modifications to it.
They made it more conservative in some places and moderated
it a little bit in others. But I tell you what,
as the President said, so well, today, this is no
longer just a House bill.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's not a Senate bill.

Speaker 9 (09:17):
It's the bill of the people, of the hard working
American people, and we are going to deliver it, as
you said, Sean, by July fourth.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
It is so critically important.

Speaker 9 (09:25):
Remember, we got a clear mandate from the people in
November to do this. President Trump ran on a clear
set of priorities and promises, and we did as well,
and this is the vehicle to deliver it. We're almost
there at that finish line. I'm confident we can. We're
at the one yard line in this game. That's been
played over a year. Really, we worked on this for
about fourteen months to get us to this point. We're

(09:46):
going to run it right up the middle and score
for the American people. And I tell you what everybody
is going to benefit from this bill, Sean, has you
noted all those features. It's the most conservative piece of
legislation we've ever worked on. You need to mention at
the same time that even though we're having historic tax cuts,
we also have historic savings. We're going to save one
point six trillion dollars for the American people. We're going

(10:08):
to cut down the size and scope of government, make
it more efficient, make it work better for the people.
They demand to deserve that, and the Republicans are delivering.
So this is a vehicle. Let's also remember that this
is just a step in a sequence of events. We
are intending to do more reconciliation work. You can do
a reconciliation budget for each fiscal year. So the plan

(10:28):
is to do one in the fall for the FY
twenty six budget year, and then we can also squeeze
in a third one for f y twenty seven before
this Congress is up. At the same time, we're going
to be passing recisions packages from the White House to
save more money and spending less in appropriations. We will
get the government back to fiscal sanity, and we are
the party to do it.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, that's kind of a rose colored glasses approach. He's
being the cheerleader about this bill, and that's okay. I
get that, But I think a lot of Trump's supporters
will and I'm surprised the President is not spoken out
about this. I think at this point he I mean,

(11:10):
I think he's enough of a realist to know that
the Congress was not going to deliver on all of
his campaign promises. We'll get into this with Troy Nails
in our next segment, but some of the things you
might want to know about the Big Beautiful Bill is
that you know, when President Trump said no taxes on

(11:30):
wages and tips, on overtime and tips, that's not going
to happen in this bill. There's limits as to how
much money you can make before that kicks in. If
you make one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year more,
then you still have to pay taxes on overtime and tips.

(11:51):
If you don't, then you only get to deduct a
certain portion of your of your tips and your overtime,
and it's something like twelve thousand, five hundred dollars at
least in the Senate version of that bill. So that's
a far cry from the president's promise of no taxes
on overtime and tips. The other thing I think that

(12:12):
he got seniors, President Trump got seniors excited about was
the idea that we were finally going to do away
with taxing Social Security benefits. You paid taxes for your
Social Security throughout your lifetime, your working lifetime, and now
that it is your in some cases sole income, you're
paying taxes again. You shouldn't have to pay income taxes

(12:33):
on something that you were a forced savings account, you
were forced to participate in, and now the government wants
to tax you on the forced donations you made for
your own retirement. That should be repealed. It's not. There's
a depending upon which bill you're looking at, there's like
a four to six thousand dollars deduction that you can

(12:56):
take as a senior, but that that is not going
to detaxify, if you will, your Social Security benefits. So
there's some promises in there that just weren't meant by
this bill. Now, the other thing that I think the
Speaker Johnson is trying to say is this is the
first all right, we have to get this enacted, and

(13:18):
in order to be able to get the economy going
and the way we want to get the economy going,
we have other We have other reconciliation bills that we
could do one in the fall, another one next year.
So what are you saying this is the beginning of cuts.
There'll be other cuts to come. I mean, there's no
guarantee of that. The other thing about it, and we'll
talk to Congress from nails about this as well, is

(13:38):
that some of these don't go into effect until twenty
twenty eight, and some of them expire in twenty twenty eight.
So there's nothing that is written into the bill that
makes any of these things permanent. The no taxes on
overtime and tips, it's not permanent. I mean, first of all,

(14:00):
it's not doing away with the taxes in its entirety,
just increasing the deduction that you don't have to pay
taxes on. But even that goes away after about three years.
So there's plenty of things to not particularly like about
this bill, big beautiful bill. More like a pretty pretty bill.
Maybe let's see what the Treasury Secretary thinks. I saw

(14:23):
him on Fox yesterday, Scott Bessen, who maybe the next
head of the Fed once Jay poul is gone. Here
Scott Bessen talking about the big, beautiful bill and about
Elon Musk and his opposal opposition I should say to it.

Speaker 10 (14:37):
This is the signature piece of President Trump's domestic agenda.
This is more than a tax bill because it also
includes border, it includes defense, it includes school choice. And
I just had a meeting with some of the House Democrats,
the Freedom Caucus, and I can tell you that group

(14:58):
should be so proud of themselves. They have changed the
center of gravity in the debate. We are going to
start paying down debt, We're going to grow the economy,
and they were big contributors to this. So I believe
that at the end of the day they will be
there for President Trump and give Speaker Johnson the ability

(15:18):
to move this bill to the President's desk for signing
this frighting. It's important to get this bill on the
President's desk because we have been tight on funding. Christy
now has done a fantastic job at DHS, along with
Tom Homan. They have apprehended the thousands of criminals, but

(15:41):
in terms of the overall deportation, it is important to
get this funding. And once we get the higher level
of funding, then we'll be able to move on to
the next level.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Your favorite topic. Elon Mosk, I mean, he's he is
beyond furious about this legislation, said it's basically a betrayal
of what he thought the administration stood for, focused a
lot on spending, deficits and so forth, and he said
he's going to fund the primary ing of anyone who

(16:11):
voted for this, who claimed to be a Republican who
believed in fiscal restraint.

Speaker 10 (16:17):
I think if Elon sticks to rockets, I'll stick to finance.
And I am confident that this bill is going to
pay down the debt.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
And there were.

Speaker 10 (16:27):
Fifty senators who weren't threatened by his words, and Vice
President Vance stepped in. They broke the tie in the Senate,
and now we're moving into the House and President Trump
has shown incredible leadership on this and in conjunction with

(16:48):
Leader Thun Speaker Johnson, I think that they're going to
hold the majorities together and push this forward.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
We also see we shall see, they don't have a
lot of time left here. Right Today's July second, so
they've got today and tomorrow in order to first of
all has to be reconciled in the House, and then
whatever change his House makes has to be reconciled in
the Senate, and then then they can go to the

(17:16):
President's desk. So there's work left to be done. The
fourth of July deadline, is we've talked about in the past,
has more to do with giving, you know, the maximum
pressure to the Congress to get this done before the holiday,
because they all want to get home for the holiday.

(17:37):
I mean, they're they're a lot like us when it
comes to that, right, there's nothing like a like a
long holiday in order to be able to motivate somebody
to get something done. But is it going to get
done in time for the fourth of July holiday on
the fourth when the President wants to sign it on
the fourth of July. We shall see, We shall see.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Next day, we're coming up more on the Big Beautiful Bill.
We're going to repeat an interview from this morning show
on KTRH. I did it towards the end of the
program with Representative Troy Nails the congressman from Sugarland to talk,
you know, to talk about where he's at with the
changes that the Senate made, where he thinks some other

(18:17):
members of Congress may be at with those changes, and
the likelihood this whole thing gets done in time for
the fourth of July. We're back with more in a moment,
Jimmy Bairt show. Here a name of nine fifty KTRC. Okay,

(18:43):
the big beautiful bill, as we've already talked about, ed
and AUSEI and here got through. The got through the Senate.
Fifty one to fifty was the final vote. At one point,
I thought it was gonna be like fifty one nine.
But I forget who it was that kind of fell
off the radar here. I know that, I know that

(19:03):
trying to think of who was that that voted no
on this. Obviously, every Democrat voted no, and several Republicans
also voted no. Three Republicans voted no on this, and
so it came down to a fifty to fifty tie
where Vice President j d Vance got this bill through.
But I had Troy Nails, Congressman Troy Nails on our

(19:26):
show earlier today this morning on KTRH and we talked
about the bill and some of the changes that the
Senate had made in the bill and where he thinks
support might be at in the House, especially when it
comes to some of those changes. Here is that interview.
So after the Senate got done with a big, beautiful bill,
this is still beautiful or is it just kind of pretty?

(19:46):
Let's find out as we check in with the United
States Congressman Troy Nails. Congressman, it's coming back to you.
Balls in your court, huh.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
It is the balls in our court. We're going to
have the Democrats are going to put up a procedure
vote here. Probably in some of the other members there,
they're not really they're not too excited about what the
Senate did to some of this legislation that we passed
well over a month ago.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I saw a speaker Johnson on with Hannity last night
and he said, about eighty five percent of the bill
is the same as the bill that was passed by
the House, but it's the fifteen percent is a lot
of changes when you get right down to it, isn't.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
It It is? And a lot of it deals with
the Medicaid. Everybody's talking about that, but I think the
dishonest media is making it sound like we're just kicking
people off of Medicaid. Now, we just think that able
bodied people. That's not what the program was made for,
and it just helps, you know, single families, poor people.
It's this was never created to put one point four

(20:43):
million illegals on it. So we have some significant cuts there.
That's a point of contention with some of the Senators,
as well as the salt the salt state local tax
dealing with the individuals up in New York. They want
to increase that to forty thousand. We had it at ten,
so there's some negotiations going on. I'm not happy about
the taxing of the endowments. We got twenty one percent.

(21:06):
We wanted to tax Harvard and twenty one percent on
the net earnings on the investments they've got billions, and
the Senate took it down to eight percent. I don't
understand why you would do that. We're leaving six billion
a year on the table by reducing it to eight percent.
I find it very very disturbing some nails.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think there's a couple of things too that would
probably surprise Trump supporters. Among the things that the President promised,
were you know, first of all, to make his tax depermanent.
That's in there. But the taxes on tips in overtime
is just a reduction in the taxes, not an elimination
of the taxes as he promised.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
That's right, and I think it's a good call to
try to you know, whether it's a local waitress or whoever,
you know, try to help her out. Let's not tax
the tips. But you got to find a way to
pay for those things. And I think this administration, I
think the boss is great. I think the administration is saying, hey, listen,
these these tears are going to bring in tens of billions,
hundreds of billions of dollars into our treasury with all

(22:06):
these terrorists and stuff. So I think you're trying to
find a way to pay for all of these things.
But I do believe it's the right thing to do
to try to have no tax on tips, and even
social Security. We need to give our seniors a break
on social Security.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, that was the other thing I was going to mention,
is there is a evidently there's an increased tax deduction
for seniors, but there is there's not an elimination of
the tax of your Social Security benefits. That is correct.

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Initially we thought, hey, could we get that in there.
I think it was talked a little bit about there
in the campaign. But you're talking a CBO score, You're
talking hundreds of billions of dollars. You have to find
a way to pay for those things. You have to
find a way to pay for the tax cuts. And
this bill that's coming back from the Senate is like
nine hundred and forty pages. One hundred of the nine

(22:54):
to forty is on my other committee, Judiciary. I'm on
Transportation and Infrastructure Judiciary. We included a bunch of fees
for visas and anybody that wants to apply for something
coming through our southern border, there's a fee. But the
parliamentarian on the Senate side said that violated what they
call this bird rule. Thus it was stripped out, So

(23:15):
the senator kind of a strange bird over there.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
To be honest with you, we're talking to Congressman Joy
Nails here on news radio seven forty KTRH. A couple
of the things I noticed, and maybe you can comment
on these briefly. For me. I noticed that a lot
of these deductions that were put into the bill expire
in twenty twenty eight. Why an expiration date.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
That I don't understand. And we tried to make it
quicker too, like on whether it's just SNAP benefits and stuff.
They say, well, it's not going to take effect until
like twenty twenty nine. They said, why do we have
to wait so long? So some will tell you, well,
it takes an enormous amount of coordination to try to
implement what you want to do with SNAP. It's going
to take eighteen months, two years. It shouldn't. It should

(23:57):
almost be immediately after we pass the legislation. So and
why do some of them end in twenty twenty eight?
I guess you have to cut deals over there in
the Senate because I think we're a little bit more conservative.
Believe it or not, We've got some real conservative members
over here. But you look at the Senate, the real
fiscal hawks. I didn't see them cave. I saw them.

(24:17):
Cave is what I saw. Whether it's Mike Lee, and
I respect them all, Ron Johnson and Rick Scott out
of Florida, but those aren't the three guys that voted
against this legislation. Coming back to the House.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Also thinking maybe one of the biggest problems will be
what the Senate did to raising the debt selling. Their
version of the bill raises it to five twention dollars,
twenty percent higher than the House's proposal. I'm not thinking
chip Roy is going to go for that.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
Well, it's not only whether it's chip Roy there or
others as well. So I personally believe you can send
this bill over here and try to jam us up
against the July fourth holiday. Now why July fourth? The
President wants assigned a bill on July fourth? Listen, I
respect the hell out of the President. If he wants
it done, let's get it done. But this doesn't give
us a whole lot of time to send the bill back.

(25:03):
I believe we should make some adjustments and send this
bill back to the Senate for them to vote on it,
and then go to the White House. Because I think
there's whether it's chip Roy and some of the others,
the hardliners, it may not get through the House today.
And so what do we do then? Do we wait?
Do we continue to wait, Let's make some adjustments, send
it back to the Senate. Pass the bill?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
All right, Congressman, thank you z Owys for your times.
I know you've got a lot of work to do.
We'll let you get back at it. This as Congressman
Troy Nails yep, and some doulgin. He's gonna be able
real late tonight and maybe tomorrow night too, depending upon
how long it takes to have the House reconcile the

(25:42):
Senate Bill Man, oh man, it's not pretty, is it.
This whole thing. It's best described as making sausage. I
think that's the best description I've ever heard of trying
to come up with pieces of legislation, especially at the
federal level. It's like making sauce. Speaking a federal level.
I complained about this this morning. Let me complain about

(26:05):
it again this afternoon. You know, the Supreme Court just
had a ruling right where they said that federal judges
are not supposed to make nationwide rulings. Right that that
that that that their their scope is limited as far
as as injunctions and other things that they want to
do on a nationwide basis. Despite this, we had two

(26:30):
liberal federal judges yesterday making nationwide decisions. One of them
was a judge in Rhode Island, who I think is
I think they were both Obama appointees. This judge basically
said that RFK Junior at Health and Human Services can't
lay off anybody what And and the judge judges rationale

(26:55):
for it was by basically saying, well, there's no rationale
for laying these people off. I can find out a
good reason for him to lay these people off, so
he can't. This is exactly what the Supreme Court was
talking about, and yet it happened again. So you've got
these federal judges who evidently are going to continue to

(27:18):
defy the Supreme Court of the United States, even though
they made it pretty clear. So if that's the case,
what if anything can be done about them or to
them to stop this from happening. I mean, is the
Supreme Court of the United States powerless to stop this?
There should be some sort of a mechanism if you

(27:40):
defy the Supreme Court, If you are a federal judge
and you defy the Supreme Court, the ultimate arbitrator on
constitutional law in this country. If you defy the Supreme Court,
shouldn't you be dismissed as a federal judge? Shouldn't that
disqualify you from being to hold that office any further?

(28:01):
I would think so anyway, quick will break back with
more final segment coming up next here on AM nine
fifty KPRC and The Jimmy Baird Show. All right, we

(28:28):
are back here. Final segment coming up here. We're gonna
spend a little bit of this hearing from DHS Secretary Christinome.
You know, we were talking yesterday on the show about
this CNN story that they did running an app. You know,
they were basically promoting an app that's available that helps

(28:50):
illegal aliens avoid ICE or helps politicians avoid ICE. It
basically tracks ICE agents. Not sure how this thing works,
but it attracts ICE agents and gives you a warning
when they're getting close to your location. So it's a
great way to circumvent the law. It'd be like you

(29:12):
or I as a citizen, having some sort of an
app that would tell us that the police are coming
for us, and therefore we could run and hide. And
I'd like to think we could all agree that if
you're a criminal, you shouldn't have the ability to run
and hide, and you certainly should not be getting an
app from somebody who's helping you do this, and certainly
a major television well maybe I shouldn't say major anymore.

(29:34):
But certainly a television network like CNN should not be
promoting something like this. Now they'll claim its free speech,
but this is very close to you know, shouting fire
in a crowded theater. This is when you are promoting
something that helps people here illegally, then you're guilty of,

(29:57):
you know, being a co conspirator here. So here is
Department of Online Security Chief Christy Nome responding to the
idea that Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, is looking into
this and might be prepared to punish CNN.

Speaker 11 (30:12):
It's topped with Joshua Aaron, who is the longtime tech
worker who developed this platform.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
This is this is the story on CNN first.

Speaker 11 (30:18):
An early warning system for people about the location of
immigrations and Customs enforcement officers. So he says he does
not want people interfering with those officers' activity, but he
does want people to be able to avoid them altogether.
You open the app, it looks like a map and
users can tap the map to report an ICE sighting
in their area, and then everybody who uses the platform

(30:40):
within five miles of that siting will get a push alert.
This is a free iPhone app. It is anonymous Errand
says he doesn't collect any user data.

Speaker 12 (30:48):
They are and that's why I'm so thrilled that PAM
is willing to be proactive and go after those individuals
that would perpetuate this kind of activity against our law
enforcement officers. These ice agents, these law enforcement officers, border
patrol agents, they get up every single day and are
working to get these dangerous criminals off of our streets.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Are heroes.

Speaker 12 (31:07):
They are absolute heroes. And to hear that the amount
of violence that's coming up against them a seven hundred
percent increase in just the last several months against them
and their families. They're not just going after them, they're
also doxing their families and threatening their children. And these
individuals just love America and believe that the law should
apply to everybody. They're doing their jobs that Joe Biden

(31:29):
never let them do, and they're protecting their own communities.
Remember that many of these law enforcement officers live in
these communities. Their children go to those schools, they go
to church there. These are their neighbors they're trying to protect.
And to have someone like CNN openly describing how to
use technology to reveal the activities and the operations that

(31:50):
these law enforcement folks are trying to conduct. It's shameful
and it could be prosecutable. So I'm glad that Pam
is looking into it. Oh, we absolutely have. In fact,
President since he's been in office, has removed almost six
hundred known and suspected terrorists, thousands of violent criminals, individuals
that are murders and rapists and drug traffickers, human traffickers.

(32:12):
And I talked today about one of the horrific instances
of our individuals, our law enforcement officers having to put
hands on individuals that were even cannibals and removing them
from our country. These are deranged individuals that other countries
released out of their prisons, out of their mental institutions,
and send them to America to roam on our streets
and perpetuate violence against our citizens. President Trump is just

(32:34):
trying to follow through on what he promised the American people,
and that's to get the worst of this worst out
of this country so that they can raise their children
in safety and apply the law equally to everyone, bring
justice back to America, secure our border, but also get
these dangerous criminals out.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
And I'm just so proud of him.

Speaker 12 (32:53):
This facility down in Florida is what I think should
be the model for every single state. Go out there
and help us partner to provide an opportunity to detain
these individuals, to process them under due process, and get
them out of our country as fast as possible. These
kind of partnerships can happen everywhere. We just need governors
and leaders to step up and do their jobs.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Why no governor habits all about it? He has already
said that there is state land and the facilities that
he's willing to give to the federal government to use
for that express purpose. Alligator Alcatraz is just the first
one open. By the way, the President was there yesterday.
Here's President Trump what he had to say about Alligator
Alcatraz and some reaction to it from Greg Gufeld on Fox.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
It's known as Alligator Alcatraz, which is very appropriate because
I looked outside and that's not a place I want
to go hiking anytime soon. This facility will house some
of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious
people on the planet. We're surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland,
and the only way out is really deportation. We took

(33:57):
the FEMA money that Joe Biden cater to pay for
the free luxury hotel rooms where he's paying hundreds of
millions of dollars in New York City, and we use
it to build this project.

Speaker 13 (34:09):
The dams fall for it. They call it cruel and inhumane.
So how is it cruel in in humane? Because it's remote,
it's surrounded by alligators.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
There are like one.

Speaker 13 (34:18):
Hundred plus airports in Florida that meet that criteria.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Everything in Florida is surrounded by alligators.

Speaker 13 (34:25):
How many pictures have you seen in the show of
golf courses where an alligator comes up on the fairway
and everybody's going, oh, look at the elevator. The angle
the Dems are going to exploit because they have nothing else.
Is compassion, right, But it no longer works because they
showed an overwhelming lack of compassion for the victims of
sex trafficking among illegals, the victims.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Of rape and murder of illegals.

Speaker 13 (34:46):
So you can't lecture us on empathy or compassion when
all of yours are for the perpetrator. The great thing
about Trump and what the left misses, he knows how
to sell something. He knows that you incentivize with words.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
He caused.

Speaker 13 (35:00):
This is his message to do the heavy lifting right.
So if you're illegal with an opportunity to leave, you
could leave now, or take your chances and end up
in a place surrounded by alligators. It might not even exist,
it doesn't matter. He creates this in your head, which
is why it's not surprising one million people have already
self deported, because there were four words that served as

(35:21):
the message. Biden's out, Trump's in.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
We better leave.

Speaker 13 (35:26):
So this is this is great. I love Alligator Alcatraz.
Sounds like it came from the makers of Sharknado, but
it's all part of the message of self deportation, and.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I would agree with that. And I wonder how many
more will self deport just because they're afraid they could
end up at Alligator Alcatraz, even though it's only gonna
be for the worst of the worst, the dangerous criminals. Hey, listen,
you'all have a great day. Be careful out there as
far as driving around for the fourth of July holiday weekend.
We'll see you tomorrow morning. Bartner at five over on
news radio seven forty KGRH we're back here at four.
