Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good Monday morning, Michael. I still haven't gotten my fill
of heads exploding on mainstream media. Let's get it on
for week number two. Well, interestingly enough, that's so I'm
laying in bed last night and I'm thinking about the
program this morning. Yet I have no life, and heads
(00:24):
exploding is exactly what I was thinking about, because if
you listen to the news at all, since last Friday,
heads had been exploding over illegal immigration. And it's because
jiminey Christmas. You mean, Trump's actually doing what he said
he would do, and Tom Homan and Homeland Security and
(00:47):
CBP and ICE are actually out there doing what they
said they were going to do. Oh the inhumanity those bastards.
I how dare they? Just to give you a quickie
example of uh? And you might if you don't follow
me on X you should be following me on X
at Michael Brown USA, because it was kind of fun
(01:09):
last night as I was catching up on the news
and reading what people were posting it. It was it
was well, actually it was kind of glorious.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
As you're finishing watching the rigged Chiefs and Bills game.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
No, actually I didn't watch it rigged. Yeah, but apparently
I saw a Oh, I saw a snippet of some
sports show doing how you sack Patrick Mahomes. Did you
see that little clip? I didn't see that.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, so what they do is they have.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Let me guess I didn't see it, but you don't,
and if you do, you get a flag.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well it's no, it's even better than that. It was.
It was. It was over the top stupid, which made
it funny. You know, when things are so stupid it
becomes funny. Yeah, so it seems to me it was, Oh,
what's the short black guy? This comedian? Uh, I think
it was. It may have been Kevin Hart. So, Kevin
Hart's playing Patrick Mahomes. And so they've got two I
(02:11):
don't know whether they're actually anchors or they're real NFL players,
I don't know, but two big guys and they're demonstrating
how you sack Patrick Mahomes. And so they come running
up to him and they stop short and they tell
him we're gonna sack you. And so Mahomes stops for
a moment, kind of cuddles the ball, and then they
(02:34):
reach down. One takes him by the legs, the others
taking him by the shoulder and they kind of lift
him up off the ground and then they slow place
him on the ground. They slowly lay him on the
ground and ask him if he's comfortable, and then they
get a pillow to put under his head, and then
they come over and they put a blanket over him.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
They start reading him some bedtime story and then they
get flagged for rubbing the passers. Yeah, yeah, that sounds
about ry. So apparently that's that's a that's a thing.
Was the Quain toss rigged? So I've heard that story.
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The one that pissed me off was the Buffalo Bills
had the fourth down and like inches and tried to
get that first down and got it but didn't get it,
but didn't get it, but didn't get it, but really
looked like you got it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Was it reviewed?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh yeah, they reviewed it, and even Tony Romo, the
the announcers, was like, yeah, the ball passed the line
right there, and even there, you know, out of studio,
h official executive goes, I see it first down, and
then the officials guy on the field come in and go, no,
first down.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So we have the Eagles versus the Chiefs right again,
and I heard that this morning, people bitching about Yeah,
I just don't care, same old, same o. Yeah, well,
except this will be the first time ever you have
a three peat, right if when? Yeah, so there's something
to watch for. And isn't this the first time that
(04:12):
you've had the same teams two years in a row?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
No, it was not last year, but the previous year,
the previous year.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, But what I find fascinating is and I don't
know what this has to do with illegal immigration, but
what I find fascinating is how people are always saying, well,
I'm not gonna do that, I'm gonna watch this, I'm
not gonna watch that, And.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Of course you know they are still watch I'm sure
you're gonna watch the commercials you're gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Nothing's going to change, nothing's going to change, except when
it comes to illegal immigration. Heads indeed are exploding. Now.
I don't think I've got a tab open with uh,
the Columbia situation. Here's what happened in Columbia.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, that's funny. I had not heard about that until
you told me this morning.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm like, wow, Gustaf Petro, Petro, Gustaf Petro, I think
is the president of Columbia, apparently he is. Now I
don't know that. See I here, I am spreading rumors
already Monday morning. I don't know this for a fact,
but what I read on the internet, Oh well, then
it must be true, it must be true, must be true.
Is that his boyfriend or girlfriend, We're not quite sure
(05:23):
whether it's a boyfriend or a girlfriend may or may
not be trans. So they call him trans curious, which, okay,
there's anything wrong with that, but that just kind of
adds flavor, I think, to the to the whole situation.
So Trump sends a C one thirty or seventeen, maybe
a C five A, I don't know, but he sends,
(05:45):
you know, he sent a cargo plane to Columbia full
of criminal, illegal aliens. They refuse landing. Now, for you
pilots out there, god, this means you know what this
means now you know talk about pilots. This means that
if Agent Jeda happens to be listening this morning, we're
(06:08):
gonna get like a fifteen paragraph email about how you
land when you've been denied landing rights. Because here's what
I think. So, you know, military guys, in fact, that
probably any good pilot, but particularly military guys, they can
land just about anywhere. So they're making an approach to
(06:30):
this airport in Columbia, and the tower denies them landing rights, says,
you cannot land. Now this is a freaking United States
military aircraft. Now I'm sure that they could, you know,
get their binoculars out. They could see if there's anything
on the runway. Like I'm thinking, if I want to
keep somebody from landing on a runway, I send a
(06:50):
bunch of fire trucks out and I blocked the runway.
And I blocked the runway not just by putting two trucks,
you know, somewhere, because they can just you know, land
on the other side of the trucks. But I put
the trucks, you know, I guess it would be parallel
on top of the runway itself. So you're you're blocking
the link of the runway, making it impossible for a
(07:12):
plane to land. But if the tower just tells you no,
you can't land, and you're the freaking guiy in States
of America, You're just gonna land. You're just gonna figure
out how to land. But anyway, they deny landing rights, and.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So Trump there's going to be some kind of law
or rule or international agreement that hey, if you're out
of fuel, you need to land, or all these people
are going to die. So you just circle a couple
of times and go, hey, we're coming down, yes.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Which they probably could have done, except we I think
we now whether they are air bases or not, but
I know we have some military bases in Colombia, so
they had an option. They had an option. But Trump's golfing.
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna embellrace this a little bit
because it's it's just kind of funny. So Trump's golfing,
he gets worried that the Columbian president has denied landing
(08:05):
rights for this first boatload of criminal, illegal aliens. So
Trump just says to his staff, go right up a
document or do whatever you need to do, but put
a twenty five percent tariff on every single thing that
Columbia exports to the United States. The left goes ballistic
(08:31):
because what is coming up in about eighteen days Valentine's Day,
and we get a lot of cut flowers out of Columbia,
so your flowers are gonna go up. And of course,
remember Juan Valdez, the guy on the coffee can talking
about you know, Columbian coffee as well. You know, your
coffee prizes are gonna go up. And so the left's
heads are just exploding because they hear see Trump, it's
(08:54):
gonna cost you more. It's gonna cost you more. No,
it's gonna cost them more. Now you don't have to buy,
you know, you can if you don't want to pay
the twenty five percent increase that might be that might
get passed on, not necessarily but could get passed on
into your coffee or your or your flowers. You just
(09:16):
find flowers from some other country, you know, here you
want Columbia flowers for twenty dollars? Or over here do
you want you know, uh, oh, I don't know. Maybe
Bogatol has flowers. Do you want Bogatah flowers for twenty
five percent less? Sell cheap, sell cheap. So all of
(09:39):
the lefts going batty over over the tariffs. So let's
just say that Trump's on the fifth hole. By the
time he gets to the eighth hole, the Columbia president
has already backed down and get well, he threatened a
fifty percent tariff on our goods going into his country,
and Trump says, and if you don't have uh, if
(09:59):
you don't let us land within the week, that I'm
going to increase the terror from twenty five percent to
fifty percent by the Trump by the time time Trump
plays through two or three more holes. Not only has
the Columbian president backed down and said, okay, never mind,
I'll also send the presidential plane.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I don't know what the Columbian presidential plane is. It
might be a CES No. One eighty. I mean, you
know it's not it's not a a really built out
seven forty seven, but it's you know, he's gonna send
his CES No. One eighty to pick up you know.
It was almost like, I mean, capitulation is not even
the right word for it. It's just like, holy feces, batman,
(10:45):
orange man really does mean what he says. What he says,
what he says. So, yeah, never mind, you don't even
have to waste your time hauling them out of your country.
Will come and pick them up. Yeah, that's how That's
how things are going right now. And of course the
left is just, oh, they cannot believe that this is happening.
(11:08):
Let's go first to Martha Rodd It's over at ABC
News tonight.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
For the first time, US military aircraft flying undocumented migrants
out of the country as President Donald Trump launches his
deportation campaign, the White House releasing these pictures dozens of
migrants in chains boarding CEA seventeen aircraft. The flight's landing
in Guatemala, carrying roughly one hundred and sixty people men
(11:36):
and women.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
For jasons growing very well today.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
The Trump administration's new borders are Tom Homan telling me
it's only the beginning, and he has a stark warning
to anyone who's in the country illegally. So is this
what we will see every single day ending in what
the President has promised his millions and millions being deported.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Is this what we're going to see every single day?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Yes, but you're going to see the number is steadily increase,
the number of rest of the nationwide as we open
up the aperture. Right now, it's concentrating public safety threats,
national security threats. That's a smaller population. If you're in
a country legally, you got a problem. And that's why
I'm hoping those who are in a country illegally, who
have not been ordered removed by the Federate judge should be.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Homan was very clear that those committing violent crimes who
will be deported first, and acknowledges that the show of force,
these strong warnings to all undocumented immigrants are meant to
send a message that they should self deport, since it
would take a very long time and massive amounts of
manpower and money to deport and estimated eleven million undocumented
(12:44):
immigrants I.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Saw one figure at the right there going out. Now
they seem to be doubling the number about every day.
I mean, the first day was like two hundred and
fifty three, the next day was next US of five hundred.
Maybe they can get a thousand of them today, whatever,
But regardless of how exponentially the numbers continue to increase,
(13:06):
at the rate that we're going so far, it's going
to take US and twenty years to export, to export,
to deport, well export deport you know, kind of same
thing to deport you know, eleven million, and if it's
twenty million, it's going to take even longer. That it's
going to take US ten years or more to do
all of that. So yes, part of this immigration plan
(13:31):
is to put pressure on to self deport Now I'm
just old enough to remember. You remember immigration raids? Do
you remember those? I forget what it was back in
the seventies the eighties, I forget what it was. But
there would be raids on farms, to be raids on
construction sites, to be raids on any number of things
(13:54):
where the old Immigration and Naturalization Service i INS would
get worried that there were a bunch of of you know,
illegals that were working, you know, taking away American jobs,
or working illegally on a construction job, or doing whatever,
and they'd have these raids and nobody. I'm sure there
were some people that got upset about it, but for me,
(14:15):
it was just like, oh, so someone broke the law,
and somebody decided to show up and find the lawbreakers
and haul their asses out of town. I wasn't flummoxed
by it. But it's not just domestic television. Let's go
to the Canadian broadcasting system.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Security video shown to a US news outlet shows what
appears to be the tail end of the raid. US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE agents with a man
apparently handcuffed after being apprehended at a seafood depot in Newark,
New Jersey, yesterday, the latest signal President Donald Trump's long
promised deportations of undocumented migrants in this are underway.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
People were fingerprinted.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Ros Baraka, the mayor of Newark, a city that is
pledged to protect migrants, says there was no warrant.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
None of these people were rapists or murderers or criminals.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
How does he know? How does he know that? Does
he know the citizens in his community, in his city,
and he knows whether or not you know, Oh, oh
you have a back, you have a criminal background. Oh
but you don't. How does he know?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
It's yeah, I hate the media believe that there were
three people who they say were undocumented that they detained,
but they also detained folks that were in fact citizens
of this country. One person showed that military veteran identification
(15:48):
and was still questioned anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
So I you know, you get detained, you know, think
about which I still just agree with Supreme Court on this.
But you know, the these roadblocks that they run to
check for drunk drivers, those have been ruled illegally, have
(16:13):
been real rual to be legal. So I'm driving along,
I haven't had a drink. I'm an American citizen. I
violated no law, and yet I still get detained and
I get questioned. Yes, so there's a sobriety checkpoint. And
unless I decide to turn around, go the other direction,
(16:34):
or you know, make a left turn, right turn and
avoid it altogether. If that's the path that I'm on
and I have to go through, I'm subject to being
detained and questioned. You know, sir, where are you going tonight? Well,
really none of your business. Have you had anything to drink? Well,
you know, really there's none of your business either, because
have I given you any indication any you know, probable cause?
(16:55):
Have I given you any reasonable suspicion that I'm drinking
and driving? No? You just are checking everybody. So I
don't really want to talk to you. Now, here's my
driver's license registration. Now may I go? Thank you? Bye?
Oh I hate it, but oh my gosh, we detained
someone who had a military ID card and actually questioned
(17:16):
them and they were an American citizen. Well, if you
can do it to me on a sobriety checkpoint, you
can do it on one of these old but now
new again. I NS rage. People are scared. We navy
torres is executive people are scared.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Good, I say, good, doctor of the Alliance for Immigrant Justice.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The Alliance for Immigrant Justice. Anybody want to take a
bet that you pay for that? So this little twerp
that you're listening to, that you pay her salary. Oh,
I got a good story about someone being paid well
over a million dollars a year to provide illegal immigrants
(17:59):
with all sorts of services.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
What we learned from folks that stayed behind was that
ice walked in like it was their empire's own conquered land.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
They were can we be any more dramatic? Maybe they
were like the you know, the the the shaman that
showed up on January sixth. Maybe they all bought costumes
like that and they show up the wave. We're conquering
this factory floor. We're conquering this you know. Uh well,
I would say chicken farm, but you know, we shut
(18:28):
down all the chicken.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Farms heavily armed. There was no prior announcement. They were
blocking off entrances and exits. They were scrambling up delivery ramps.
They were banging down bathroom doors to make sure no
one was hiding inside.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Trump maintains the first raids we'll go after criminals. Repeating
that message today in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's on, It's on.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Good morning, Michael. I'm sure you guys have already heard this,
but are illustrious? Is mayor in Denver has used millions
of taxpayer dollars trying to fight deportation of his coveted
illegal aliens. Well do these people have no shame? It
(19:14):
is absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Well we'll get we'll get to Mike Johns. In fact,
I think I think in one of the soundbites I'm
using this morning that we actually hear Mayor Johnston's voice.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
So the.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The great thing about the weekend is Orange Man bad
Uh appears to have the respect, maybe not admiration, but
who cares. Uh has the respect of world leaders. So
this Marxist president down in Columbia was just beaten into
(19:50):
submission by Trump on Sunday after he Gustava Guestavo Petro
is his Actually he refused to take back criminals that
were being deported by by this country. He said, quote,
I deny the entry of American planes carrying Columbian migrants
into our territory. The United States must establish a protocol
(20:14):
for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them.
What the crap does that mean? First of all, think
about just the your your own country, your own country
refuses to take you back now me, or for that matter,
even Dragon, you know, Dragon and I decide we're gonna
(20:37):
go to Mexico, We're gonna go to Cabo, or we're
gonna go to Italy and go to the Amalfi Ghost.
We're gonna you know, we're just gonna go somewhere, and
you know, we get ready to come back and customers
won't let us through. We don't want you anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Slightly different than that, Say who what Hollywood's star hates
you know, Trump the most.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I can't think of anybody, say Madonna. Madonna says she's good.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Ellen.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
They they're going to go to England and flee the
United States because they hate the United States so much
because Trump is now the president. Now, England or whomever
is harboring them says, hey, wait a minute, we don't
want you illegals here. We're gonna fly you back to
the United States. And I think the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Kind of may have the right to go. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
They left us for a better opportunity. Do we really
want them back? You can, you can kind of make
the same argument for no, somebody in Colombia he left
Columbia because it was a crap whole country to you're
to be better.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'll equivocally wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It's hiss apples and apple.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
No, it is not.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
You left out one salient fact. What let's take l one.
She goes to, she moves. In fact, I think she
did move to England, okay, and I think she's already
moved back too. She was still because she never renounced
her American citizenship, so she's a US citizen. These illegal
(22:16):
aliens are still citizens of Columbia. Huh huh. Yeah, so
they're refusing to take their own citizens back. They're not
American citizens just because they're here. They're illegal aliens here.
And now the Columbian president is like, no, we're not
gonna We're not gonna take them back. We don't want
them unless unless you come up with a dignified way
(22:43):
of doing it. Well, I would say, you know, if
if you wanted to go I did.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I just see it a very thin line right there.
What was the stupid soldier that was in South Korea
that fled across over in Korea. So he clearly had
thought us here in the United States, they're doing a
bad job, and said, oh, let's go North Korea. Come on,
it's gonna be so much better over there. So I
could totally see you going no, no, no, no, he
wanted to be over there. Let him stay over there.
(23:15):
We don't want him back. He chose the parallel.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The example falls apart because yes, maybe I want to
live Maybe I want to live in I want to
live on the north coast of Japan. Beautiful, clean, safe,
pretty similar weather to me. How far up in the
mountains you are to Colorado. So maybe I wanted to
(23:41):
move there. So I moved there because I think it's
better than here. But that's all I do. I just
moved there. I get a tourist visa and I move there,
and I do all of that. Legally, I still can
come back because I'm an American citizen, and you can't
just refuse me entry because I said bad things about America.
(24:03):
I say bad things about this country every freaking day.
How come they haven't deported me? And where would they
deport me? It's your example. Just utterly fails. Now if
I if I move, Let's let's do a similar example,
like Columbia. I move to Russia. I go to Moscow,
and when I land at the airport in Moscow, I
(24:26):
announced to the customs people that I am renouncing my
American citizenship. Here's my American passport. I want asylum in
in in Russia, and Russia grants me asylum. Now I
want to come back to this country. No, we're not
gonna allow you yet. Screw ya, screw you. We're not
(24:46):
gonna a lie you back yet.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I suppose one of the bigger things against my argument
would be the legally doing something crossing into said country.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, and so think about that. So you escape Columbia
because you maybe you love Columbia. See there's two types.
You love Columbia, but you want to come here for
a better life, so you can send all the remittances
back to your family in Colombia to help support them
financially back there. Or you've been convicted of rape or
(25:19):
murder or something in Colombia and now you want to
get the hell out of Dodge. So you get the
hell out of Dodge and you come to the US.
So now you're in this in this country illegally, and
you committed a crime in your home country. Now, in
that situation, if I were Gustavo, I would say, yeah,
you can come back, but you're going straight to prison,
(25:40):
straight to jail.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Do not collect two hundred dollars in that past go.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, yeah, but anyway, So here, so here's here's the
timeline of what happened. So early Sunday, Petro wrote on
X quote, I deny the entry of American planes carrying
Columbian migrants into our territory. The United States must have
they're dictating. He's dictating to us, which I itself I
(26:03):
find funny. The United States must establish a protocol for
the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them. Okay,
what's more dignified than you're in this country illegally, so
you're committing a crime. We arrest you, but rather than
just throw you in the in the Huskau somewhere, we
(26:24):
actually take you to a detention center. We feed you,
we give you a clean set of clothes because we
want you in a uniform of some sort, and then
we take you on a nice air conditioned bus to
a really nice air force base, and we let you
walk out into you know, across the tarmac, and you
board the C seventeen, and then we fly you. Maybe
(26:48):
even because it's a long flight, we even provide you
an in flight snack. Now, maybe you don't get in
flight entertainment, but you get an inflight snack, some peanuts
or pretzels, peanuts, pretzels, maybe a little diet cochers, something,
you know, and maybe if you have some cash, maybe
a glass of wine. I don't know. And then you land,
you land in Colombia and the authorities take you. But no,
(27:10):
your country doesn't want you. Well. In response to that,
see this is why you need to be on X
with me. In response to that, Trump unloads on truth social,
which of course then gets posted on X announcing quote
urgent and decisive retaliatory measures, which included a twenty five
(27:31):
percent tariff on all Colombian imports that would increase to
fifty percent in one week, a travelman and visa sanctions
on officials, family and supporters of President Petro, Enhanced inspections
of all Colombian nationals and cargo. So if you're just
(27:52):
coming to this country from Colombia legally, un play on business. Well,
you're going to get the enhanced interrogation, yes, and you're
going to be delayed. You might even miss your meeting.
And oh, by the way, if you're a cargo plane
carrying you know, flowers or coffee or something from Columbia
into the United States, when you land at LAX you're
(28:13):
going to get an enhanced inspection.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
So the.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Trail of those imports is going to take much longer
than your competitors. And of course anybody is going to
impose financial sanctions less than one hour. Less than one
hour after Trump posted on social media, Petro's office released
(28:39):
a statement that says this, the Government of Columbia, under
the direction of President Gustovo Petro, has arranged the presidential
plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who
are going to arrive in the country today in the
morning coming from deportation flights. And then, in the ultimate
(29:00):
line of defeat, Petro retweeted a message from the Press secretary,
the youngest press secretary in the history of the country,
so I think she's twenty seven years old, which said, quote,
the government of Colombia has agreed to all of President's
Trump's terms and the president of Columbia retweets that tweet. Now,
(29:29):
while all of that's going on, you know that the
Democrats can't quite figure out how to handle this, including
that Ditz who has doesn't AOC have a degree in economics.
Didn't she get a degree in economics from Boston College
or something? I mean, she went to a quasi semi
Ivy League school and I think it's an economics she
(29:53):
screeched out on social media to quote punish Columbia. Trump
is about to make every American pay even more for
her for their coffee.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
So her Starbucks apparently is more important to her than
removing violent criminals. And I think, for the record, I
don't know that any Lattes were harmed in this transaction
that occurred yesterday. So who is Petro? These are the
people that we're supposed to be fearful of hang type.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Hey, Michael, So Columbia wanted to refuse the entry of
these illegal aliens. I don't know why Trump just didn't
take something out of Biden's playbook and say don't don't
don't He did, he did.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But the difference is when Biden said don't, did anybody
pay attention. No, Trump told the Columbian president Petro Petro,
don't and they believe, they believed him, and they backed off.
In a New York minute.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Whether you like Orange Man bad or not, there's a
stark difference apponing the world leaders of Biden saying don't
and Trump saying don't. Granted, I would say that the
Colombian president is not high level like Putin, but even still.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
But even still, Putin has indicated his Williams sit down
and talked about Ukraine. Yeah, now, let's think about who
this and don't forget this. All happened within an hour yesterday.
Within an hour, Trump imposed the twenty five percent tariff,
threatened to slow down imports, and said that if you're
(31:54):
coming into the US from Columbia, you will be subject
to Inhan interrogation, kind of like I get all the
time through TSA and your your visas. We're gonna revote
visas of your some of your representatives coming into this country,
so you won't be able to come to the United States.
You won't be able to come to you know, you
(32:16):
won't be able to go to Beverly Hills and shop. Yeah,
and boom, they backed off. Completely backed off within an hour,
so much so that when when the twenty seven year
old Press secretary says that Trump is serious and he's
going to do this and that Columbia completely capitulated, the
(32:41):
president of Columbia admitted so by retweeting that very post
that she put up. Well, who is Petro? I just
I think this is interesting too. He's kind of a
weird guy. He was part of a communist guerrilla movement
called nineteen, not MS thirteen, but nineteen. He became president
(33:01):
in twenty twenty two, promising to demilitarize the country's dark
old gorilla groups, the cartels. But do you think he's
accomplished that? No, he's utterly failed to do so. And then,
to top it off, the married man found himself in
a scandal after being spotted in Panama closing up to
a transgender biological man. I always find that kind of confusing. I,
(33:23):
you know, I just as a heterosexual male, What is
your attraction to a transgender biological man? I you know,
what are you really after? There? What are you really after?
The bottom line is pretty simple. This encounter, this one
encounter sends a really clear message to any country considering
(33:48):
being uncooperative with the deportation, that Trump's going to do
this either the easy way or the hard way, and
you get to choose, you know, and and to kind
of throw it in your face. After the dust settled,
Trump shared someone that made an artificial intelligence image of
himself on Truth Truth Social with the acronym FAFO. Now,
(34:10):
if you're not familiar with the term, it means, you know,
f around and find out. Yeah, well, I think that
they're starting to realize that if you FAFO, Trump means business.
He means business. Now, I don't want to drop this topic.
I want to carry it across to the next hour
(34:32):
because I still want you to hear some more of
the American media and what they were saying. But more importantly,
just as out of an abundance of caution, I know,
we're all like, Wow, he's really doing what he said
he was going to do. But doing what he said
(34:52):
he's really going to do is not going to you know,
I hate to be the Debbie Downer here, but it's
not going to completely solve the problem. Next week, I mean,
we're we're off to the races. He's done more in
one week than I mean, he's done more good in
one week, and well, wait a minute. Maybe Biden didn't
(35:13):
do any good in four years, but he's probably done
more in one week than any president in my life. Now,
that sets up a really high bar that he's not
always going to be able to meet, and I want
to explain why. When it comes to deportations, let's get realistic.
Good Monday morning, Michael. I still haven't gotten my fill
of heads exploding on mainstream media. Let's get it on
for week number two. Well, interestingly enough, that's so I'm
laying in bed last night and I'm thinking about the
program this morning. Yet I have no life, and heads
(00:24):
exploding is exactly what I was thinking about, because if
you listen to the news at all, since last Friday,
heads had been exploding over illegal immigration. And it's because
jiminey Christmas. You mean, Trump's actually doing what he said
he would do, and Tom Homan and Homeland Security and
(00:47):
CBP and ICE are actually out there doing what they
said they were going to do. Oh the inhumanity those bastards.
I how dare they? Just to give you a quickie
example of uh? And you might if you don't follow
me on X you should be following me on X
at Michael Brown USA, because it was kind of fun
(01:09):
last night as I was catching up on the news
and reading what people were posting it. It was it
was well, actually it was kind of glorious.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
As you're finishing watching the rigged Chiefs and Bills game.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
No, actually I didn't watch it rigged. Yeah, but apparently
I saw a Oh, I saw a snippet of some
sports show doing how you sack Patrick Mahomes. Did you
see that little clip? I didn't see that.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, so what they do is they have.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Let me guess I didn't see it, but you don't,
and if you do, you get a flag.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well it's no, it's even better than that. It was.
It was. It was over the top stupid, which made
it funny. You know, when things are so stupid it
becomes funny. Yeah, so it seems to me it was, Oh,
what's the short black guy? This comedian? Uh, I think
it was. It may have been Kevin Hart. So, Kevin
Hart's playing Patrick Mahomes. And so they've got two I
(02:11):
don't know whether they're actually anchors or they're real NFL players,
I don't know, but two big guys and they're demonstrating
how you sack Patrick Mahomes. And so they come running
up to him and they stop short and they tell
him we're gonna sack you. And so Mahomes stops for
a moment, kind of cuddles the ball, and then they
(02:34):
reach down. One takes him by the legs, the others
taking him by the shoulder and they kind of lift
him up off the ground and then they slow place
him on the ground. They slowly lay him on the
ground and ask him if he's comfortable, and then they
get a pillow to put under his head, and then
they come over and they put a blanket over him.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
They start reading him some bedtime story and then they
get flagged for rubbing the passers. Yeah, yeah, that sounds
about ry. So apparently that's that's a that's a thing.
Was the Quain toss rigged? So I've heard that story.
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The one that pissed me off was the Buffalo Bills
had the fourth down and like inches and tried to
get that first down and got it but didn't get it,
but didn't get it, but didn't get it, but really
looked like you got it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Was it reviewed?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh yeah, they reviewed it, and even Tony Romo, the
the announcers, was like, yeah, the ball passed the line
right there, and even there, you know, out of studio,
h official executive goes, I see it first down, and
then the officials guy on the field come in and go, no,
first down.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So we have the Eagles versus the Chiefs right again,
and I heard that this morning, people bitching about Yeah,
I just don't care, same old, same o. Yeah, well,
except this will be the first time ever you have
a three peat, right if when? Yeah, so there's something
to watch for. And isn't this the first time that
(04:12):
you've had the same teams two years in a row?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
No, it was not last year, but the previous year,
the previous year.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, But what I find fascinating is and I don't
know what this has to do with illegal immigration, but
what I find fascinating is how people are always saying, well,
I'm not gonna do that, I'm gonna watch this, I'm
not gonna watch that, And.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Of course you know they are still watch I'm sure
you're gonna watch the commercials you're gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Nothing's going to change, nothing's going to change, except when
it comes to illegal immigration. Heads indeed are exploding. Now.
I don't think I've got a tab open with uh,
the Columbia situation. Here's what happened in Columbia.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, that's funny. I had not heard about that until
you told me this morning.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm like, wow, Gustaf Petro, Petro, Gustaf Petro, I think
is the president of Columbia, apparently he is. Now I
don't know that. See I here, I am spreading rumors
already Monday morning. I don't know this for a fact,
but what I read on the internet, Oh well, then
it must be true, it must be true, must be true.
Is that his boyfriend or girlfriend, We're not quite sure
(05:23):
whether it's a boyfriend or a girlfriend may or may
not be trans. So they call him trans curious, which, okay,
there's anything wrong with that, but that just kind of
adds flavor, I think, to the to the whole situation.
So Trump sends a C one thirty or seventeen, maybe
a C five A, I don't know, but he sends,
(05:45):
you know, he sent a cargo plane to Columbia full
of criminal, illegal aliens. They refuse landing. Now, for you
pilots out there, god, this means you know what this
means now you know talk about pilots. This means that
if Agent Jeda happens to be listening this morning, we're
(06:08):
gonna get like a fifteen paragraph email about how you
land when you've been denied landing rights. Because here's what
I think. So, you know, military guys, in fact, that
probably any good pilot, but particularly military guys, they can
land just about anywhere. So they're making an approach to
(06:30):
this airport in Columbia, and the tower denies them landing rights, says,
you cannot land. Now this is a freaking United States
military aircraft. Now I'm sure that they could, you know,
get their binoculars out. They could see if there's anything
on the runway. Like I'm thinking, if I want to
keep somebody from landing on a runway, I send a
(06:50):
bunch of fire trucks out and I blocked the runway.
And I blocked the runway not just by putting two trucks,
you know, somewhere, because they can just you know, land
on the other side of the trucks. But I put
the trucks, you know, I guess it would be parallel
on top of the runway itself. So you're you're blocking
the link of the runway, making it impossible for a
(07:12):
plane to land. But if the tower just tells you no,
you can't land, and you're the freaking guiy in States
of America, You're just gonna land. You're just gonna figure
out how to land. But anyway, they deny landing rights, and.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So Trump there's going to be some kind of law
or rule or international agreement that hey, if you're out
of fuel, you need to land, or all these people
are going to die. So you just circle a couple
of times and go, hey, we're coming down, yes.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Which they probably could have done, except we I think
we now whether they are air bases or not, but
I know we have some military bases in Colombia, so
they had an option. They had an option. But Trump's golfing.
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna embellrace this a little bit
because it's it's just kind of funny. So Trump's golfing,
he gets worried that the Columbian president has denied landing
(08:05):
rights for this first boatload of criminal, illegal aliens. So
Trump just says to his staff, go right up a
document or do whatever you need to do, but put
a twenty five percent tariff on every single thing that
Columbia exports to the United States. The left goes ballistic
(08:31):
because what is coming up in about eighteen days Valentine's Day,
and we get a lot of cut flowers out of Columbia,
so your flowers are gonna go up. And of course,
remember Juan Valdez, the guy on the coffee can talking
about you know, Columbian coffee as well. You know, your
coffee prizes are gonna go up. And so the left's
heads are just exploding because they hear see Trump, it's
(08:54):
gonna cost you more. It's gonna cost you more. No,
it's gonna cost them more. Now you don't have to buy,
you know, you can if you don't want to pay
the twenty five percent increase that might be that might
get passed on, not necessarily but could get passed on
into your coffee or your or your flowers. You just
(09:16):
find flowers from some other country, you know, here you
want Columbia flowers for twenty dollars? Or over here do
you want you know, uh, oh, I don't know. Maybe
Bogatol has flowers. Do you want Bogatah flowers for twenty
five percent less? Sell cheap, sell cheap. So all of
(09:39):
the lefts going batty over over the tariffs. So let's
just say that Trump's on the fifth hole. By the
time he gets to the eighth hole, the Columbia president
has already backed down and get well, he threatened a
fifty percent tariff on our goods going into his country,
and Trump says, and if you don't have uh, if
(09:59):
you don't let us land within the week, that I'm
going to increase the terror from twenty five percent to
fifty percent by the Trump by the time time Trump
plays through two or three more holes. Not only has
the Columbian president backed down and said, okay, never mind,
I'll also send the presidential plane.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I don't know what the Columbian presidential plane is. It
might be a CES No. One eighty. I mean, you
know it's not it's not a a really built out
seven forty seven, but it's you know, he's gonna send
his CES No. One eighty to pick up you know.
It was almost like, I mean, capitulation is not even
the right word for it. It's just like, holy feces, batman,
(10:45):
orange man really does mean what he says. What he says,
what he says. So, yeah, never mind, you don't even
have to waste your time hauling them out of your country.
Will come and pick them up. Yeah, that's how That's
how things are going right now. And of course the
left is just, oh, they cannot believe that this is happening.
(11:08):
Let's go first to Martha Rodd It's over at ABC
News tonight.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
For the first time, US military aircraft flying undocumented migrants
out of the country as President Donald Trump launches his
deportation campaign, the White House releasing these pictures dozens of
migrants in chains boarding CEA seventeen aircraft. The flight's landing
in Guatemala, carrying roughly one hundred and sixty people men
(11:36):
and women.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
For jasons growing very well today.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
The Trump administration's new borders are Tom Homan telling me
it's only the beginning, and he has a stark warning
to anyone who's in the country illegally. So is this
what we will see every single day ending in what
the President has promised his millions and millions being deported.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Is this what we're going to see every single day?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Yes, but you're going to see the number is steadily increase,
the number of rest of the nationwide as we open
up the aperture. Right now, it's concentrating public safety threats,
national security threats. That's a smaller population. If you're in
a country legally, you got a problem. And that's why
I'm hoping those who are in a country illegally, who
have not been ordered removed by the Federate judge should be.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Homan was very clear that those committing violent crimes who
will be deported first, and acknowledges that the show of force,
these strong warnings to all undocumented immigrants are meant to
send a message that they should self deport, since it
would take a very long time and massive amounts of
manpower and money to deport and estimated eleven million undocumented
(12:44):
immigrants I.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Saw one figure at the right there going out. Now
they seem to be doubling the number about every day.
I mean, the first day was like two hundred and
fifty three, the next day was next US of five hundred.
Maybe they can get a thousand of them today, whatever,
But regardless of how exponentially the numbers continue to increase,
(13:06):
at the rate that we're going so far, it's going
to take US and twenty years to export, to export,
to deport, well export deport you know, kind of same
thing to deport you know, eleven million, and if it's
twenty million, it's going to take even longer. That it's
going to take US ten years or more to do
all of that. So yes, part of this immigration plan
(13:31):
is to put pressure on to self deport Now I'm
just old enough to remember. You remember immigration raids? Do
you remember those? I forget what it was back in
the seventies the eighties, I forget what it was. But
there would be raids on farms, to be raids on
construction sites, to be raids on any number of things
(13:54):
where the old Immigration and Naturalization Service i INS would
get worried that there were a bunch of of you know,
illegals that were working, you know, taking away American jobs,
or working illegally on a construction job, or doing whatever,
and they'd have these raids and nobody. I'm sure there
were some people that got upset about it, but for me,
(14:15):
it was just like, oh, so someone broke the law,
and somebody decided to show up and find the lawbreakers
and haul their asses out of town. I wasn't flummoxed
by it. But it's not just domestic television. Let's go
to the Canadian broadcasting system.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Security video shown to a US news outlet shows what
appears to be the tail end of the raid. US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE agents with a man
apparently handcuffed after being apprehended at a seafood depot in Newark,
New Jersey, yesterday, the latest signal President Donald Trump's long
promised deportations of undocumented migrants in this are underway.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
People were fingerprinted.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Ros Baraka, the mayor of Newark, a city that is
pledged to protect migrants, says there was no warrant.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
None of these people were rapists or murderers or criminals.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
How does he know? How does he know that? Does
he know the citizens in his community, in his city,
and he knows whether or not you know, Oh, oh
you have a back, you have a criminal background. Oh
but you don't. How does he know?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
It's yeah, I hate the media believe that there were
three people who they say were undocumented that they detained,
but they also detained folks that were in fact citizens
of this country. One person showed that military veteran identification
(15:48):
and was still questioned anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
So I you know, you get detained, you know, think
about which I still just agree with Supreme Court on this.
But you know, the these roadblocks that they run to
check for drunk drivers, those have been ruled illegally, have
(16:13):
been real rual to be legal. So I'm driving along,
I haven't had a drink. I'm an American citizen. I
violated no law, and yet I still get detained and
I get questioned. Yes, so there's a sobriety checkpoint. And
unless I decide to turn around, go the other direction,
(16:34):
or you know, make a left turn, right turn and
avoid it altogether. If that's the path that I'm on
and I have to go through, I'm subject to being
detained and questioned. You know, sir, where are you going tonight? Well,
really none of your business. Have you had anything to drink? Well,
you know, really there's none of your business either, because
have I given you any indication any you know, probable cause?
(16:55):
Have I given you any reasonable suspicion that I'm drinking
and driving? No? You just are checking everybody. So I
don't really want to talk to you. Now, here's my
driver's license registration. Now may I go? Thank you? Bye?
Oh I hate it, but oh my gosh, we detained
someone who had a military ID card and actually questioned
(17:16):
them and they were an American citizen. Well, if you
can do it to me on a sobriety checkpoint, you
can do it on one of these old but now
new again. I NS rage. People are scared. We navy
torres is executive people are scared.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Good, I say, good, doctor of the Alliance for Immigrant Justice.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The Alliance for Immigrant Justice. Anybody want to take a
bet that you pay for that? So this little twerp
that you're listening to, that you pay her salary. Oh,
I got a good story about someone being paid well
over a million dollars a year to provide illegal immigrants
(17:59):
with all sorts of services.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
What we learned from folks that stayed behind was that
ice walked in like it was their empire's own conquered land.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
They were can we be any more dramatic? Maybe they
were like the you know, the the the shaman that
showed up on January sixth. Maybe they all bought costumes
like that and they show up the wave. We're conquering
this factory floor. We're conquering this you know. Uh well,
I would say chicken farm, but you know, we shut
(18:28):
down all the chicken.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Farms heavily armed. There was no prior announcement. They were
blocking off entrances and exits. They were scrambling up delivery ramps.
They were banging down bathroom doors to make sure no
one was hiding inside.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Trump maintains the first raids we'll go after criminals. Repeating
that message today in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's on, It's on.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Good morning, Michael. I'm sure you guys have already heard this,
but are illustrious? Is mayor in Denver has used millions
of taxpayer dollars trying to fight deportation of his coveted
illegal aliens. Well do these people have no shame? It
(19:14):
is absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Well we'll get we'll get to Mike Johns. In fact,
I think I think in one of the soundbites I'm
using this morning that we actually hear Mayor Johnston's voice.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
So the.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The great thing about the weekend is Orange Man bad
Uh appears to have the respect, maybe not admiration, but
who cares. Uh has the respect of world leaders. So
this Marxist president down in Columbia was just beaten into
(19:50):
submission by Trump on Sunday after he Gustava Guestavo Petro
is his Actually he refused to take back criminals that
were being deported by by this country. He said, quote,
I deny the entry of American planes carrying Columbian migrants
into our territory. The United States must establish a protocol
(20:14):
for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them.
What the crap does that mean? First of all, think
about just the your your own country, your own country
refuses to take you back now me, or for that matter,
even Dragon, you know, Dragon and I decide we're gonna
(20:37):
go to Mexico, We're gonna go to Cabo, or we're
gonna go to Italy and go to the Amalfi Ghost.
We're gonna you know, we're just gonna go somewhere, and
you know, we get ready to come back and customers
won't let us through. We don't want you anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Slightly different than that, Say who what Hollywood's star hates
you know, Trump the most.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I can't think of anybody, say Madonna. Madonna says she's good.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Ellen.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
They they're going to go to England and flee the
United States because they hate the United States so much
because Trump is now the president. Now, England or whomever
is harboring them says, hey, wait a minute, we don't
want you illegals here. We're gonna fly you back to
the United States. And I think the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Kind of may have the right to go. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
They left us for a better opportunity. Do we really
want them back? You can, you can kind of make
the same argument for no, somebody in Colombia he left
Columbia because it was a crap whole country to you're
to be better.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'll equivocally wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It's hiss apples and apple.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
No, it is not.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
You left out one salient fact. What let's take l one.
She goes to, she moves. In fact, I think she
did move to England, okay, and I think she's already
moved back too. She was still because she never renounced
her American citizenship, so she's a US citizen. These illegal
(22:16):
aliens are still citizens of Columbia. Huh huh. Yeah, so
they're refusing to take their own citizens back. They're not
American citizens just because they're here. They're illegal aliens here.
And now the Columbian president is like, no, we're not
gonna We're not gonna take them back. We don't want
them unless unless you come up with a dignified way
(22:43):
of doing it. Well, I would say, you know, if
if you wanted to go I did.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I just see it a very thin line right there.
What was the stupid soldier that was in South Korea
that fled across over in Korea. So he clearly had
thought us here in the United States, they're doing a
bad job, and said, oh, let's go North Korea. Come on,
it's gonna be so much better over there. So I
could totally see you going no, no, no, no, he
wanted to be over there. Let him stay over there.
(23:15):
We don't want him back. He chose the parallel.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The example falls apart because yes, maybe I want to
live Maybe I want to live in I want to
live on the north coast of Japan. Beautiful, clean, safe,
pretty similar weather to me. How far up in the
mountains you are to Colorado. So maybe I wanted to
(23:41):
move there. So I moved there because I think it's
better than here. But that's all I do. I just
moved there. I get a tourist visa and I move there,
and I do all of that. Legally, I still can
come back because I'm an American citizen, and you can't
just refuse me entry because I said bad things about America.
(24:03):
I say bad things about this country every freaking day.
How come they haven't deported me? And where would they
deport me? It's your example. Just utterly fails. Now if
I if I move, Let's let's do a similar example,
like Columbia. I move to Russia. I go to Moscow,
and when I land at the airport in Moscow, I
(24:26):
announced to the customs people that I am renouncing my
American citizenship. Here's my American passport. I want asylum in
in in Russia, and Russia grants me asylum. Now I
want to come back to this country. No, we're not
gonna allow you yet. Screw ya, screw you. We're not
(24:46):
gonna a lie you back yet.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I suppose one of the bigger things against my argument
would be the legally doing something crossing into said country.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, and so think about that. So you escape Columbia
because you maybe you love Columbia. See there's two types.
You love Columbia, but you want to come here for
a better life, so you can send all the remittances
back to your family in Colombia to help support them
financially back there. Or you've been convicted of rape or
(25:19):
murder or something in Colombia and now you want to
get the hell out of Dodge. So you get the
hell out of Dodge and you come to the US.
So now you're in this in this country illegally, and
you committed a crime in your home country. Now, in
that situation, if I were Gustavo, I would say, yeah,
you can come back, but you're going straight to prison,
(25:40):
straight to jail.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Do not collect two hundred dollars in that past go.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, yeah, but anyway, So here, so here's here's the
timeline of what happened. So early Sunday, Petro wrote on
X quote, I deny the entry of American planes carrying
Columbian migrants into our territory. The United States must have
they're dictating. He's dictating to us, which I itself I
(26:03):
find funny. The United States must establish a protocol for
the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them. Okay,
what's more dignified than you're in this country illegally, so
you're committing a crime. We arrest you, but rather than
just throw you in the in the Huskau somewhere, we
(26:24):
actually take you to a detention center. We feed you,
we give you a clean set of clothes because we
want you in a uniform of some sort, and then
we take you on a nice air conditioned bus to
a really nice air force base, and we let you
walk out into you know, across the tarmac, and you
board the C seventeen, and then we fly you. Maybe
(26:48):
even because it's a long flight, we even provide you
an in flight snack. Now, maybe you don't get in
flight entertainment, but you get an inflight snack, some peanuts
or pretzels, peanuts, pretzels, maybe a little diet cochers, something,
you know, and maybe if you have some cash, maybe
a glass of wine. I don't know. And then you land,
you land in Colombia and the authorities take you. But no,
(27:10):
your country doesn't want you. Well. In response to that,
see this is why you need to be on X
with me. In response to that, Trump unloads on truth social,
which of course then gets posted on X announcing quote
urgent and decisive retaliatory measures, which included a twenty five
(27:31):
percent tariff on all Colombian imports that would increase to
fifty percent in one week, a travelman and visa sanctions
on officials, family and supporters of President Petro, Enhanced inspections
of all Colombian nationals and cargo. So if you're just
(27:52):
coming to this country from Colombia legally, un play on business. Well,
you're going to get the enhanced interrogation, yes, and you're
going to be delayed. You might even miss your meeting.
And oh, by the way, if you're a cargo plane
carrying you know, flowers or coffee or something from Columbia
into the United States, when you land at LAX you're
(28:13):
going to get an enhanced inspection.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
So the.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Trail of those imports is going to take much longer
than your competitors. And of course anybody is going to
impose financial sanctions less than one hour. Less than one
hour after Trump posted on social media, Petro's office released
(28:39):
a statement that says this, the Government of Columbia, under
the direction of President Gustovo Petro, has arranged the presidential
plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who
are going to arrive in the country today in the
morning coming from deportation flights. And then, in the ultimate
(29:00):
line of defeat, Petro retweeted a message from the Press secretary,
the youngest press secretary in the history of the country,
so I think she's twenty seven years old, which said, quote,
the government of Colombia has agreed to all of President's
Trump's terms and the president of Columbia retweets that tweet. Now,
(29:29):
while all of that's going on, you know that the
Democrats can't quite figure out how to handle this, including
that Ditz who has doesn't AOC have a degree in economics.
Didn't she get a degree in economics from Boston College
or something? I mean, she went to a quasi semi
Ivy League school and I think it's an economics she
(29:53):
screeched out on social media to quote punish Columbia. Trump
is about to make every American pay even more for
her for their coffee.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
So her Starbucks apparently is more important to her than
removing violent criminals. And I think, for the record, I
don't know that any Lattes were harmed in this transaction
that occurred yesterday. So who is Petro? These are the
people that we're supposed to be fearful of hang type.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Hey, Michael, So Columbia wanted to refuse the entry of
these illegal aliens. I don't know why Trump just didn't
take something out of Biden's playbook and say don't don't
don't He did, he did.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But the difference is when Biden said don't, did anybody
pay attention. No, Trump told the Columbian president Petro Petro,
don't and they believe, they believed him, and they backed off.
In a New York minute.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Whether you like Orange Man bad or not, there's a
stark difference apponing the world leaders of Biden saying don't
and Trump saying don't. Granted, I would say that the
Colombian president is not high level like Putin, but even still.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
But even still, Putin has indicated his Williams sit down
and talked about Ukraine. Yeah, now, let's think about who
this and don't forget this. All happened within an hour yesterday.
Within an hour, Trump imposed the twenty five percent tariff,
threatened to slow down imports, and said that if you're
(31:54):
coming into the US from Columbia, you will be subject
to Inhan interrogation, kind of like I get all the
time through TSA and your your visas. We're gonna revote
visas of your some of your representatives coming into this country,
so you won't be able to come to the United States.
You won't be able to come to you know, you
(32:16):
won't be able to go to Beverly Hills and shop. Yeah,
and boom, they backed off. Completely backed off within an hour,
so much so that when when the twenty seven year
old Press secretary says that Trump is serious and he's
going to do this and that Columbia completely capitulated, the
(32:41):
president of Columbia admitted so by retweeting that very post
that she put up. Well, who is Petro? I just
I think this is interesting too. He's kind of a
weird guy. He was part of a communist guerrilla movement
called nineteen, not MS thirteen, but nineteen. He became president
(33:01):
in twenty twenty two, promising to demilitarize the country's dark
old gorilla groups, the cartels. But do you think he's
accomplished that? No, he's utterly failed to do so. And then,
to top it off, the married man found himself in
a scandal after being spotted in Panama closing up to
a transgender biological man. I always find that kind of confusing. I,
(33:23):
you know, I just as a heterosexual male, What is
your attraction to a transgender biological man? I you know,
what are you really after? There? What are you really after?
The bottom line is pretty simple. This encounter, this one
encounter sends a really clear message to any country considering
(33:48):
being uncooperative with the deportation, that Trump's going to do
this either the easy way or the hard way, and
you get to choose, you know, and and to kind
of throw it in your face. After the dust settled,
Trump shared someone that made an artificial intelligence image of
himself on Truth Truth Social with the acronym FAFO. Now,
(34:10):
if you're not familiar with the term, it means, you know,
f around and find out. Yeah, well, I think that
they're starting to realize that if you FAFO, Trump means business.
He means business. Now, I don't want to drop this topic.
I want to carry it across to the next hour
(34:32):
because I still want you to hear some more of
the American media and what they were saying. But more importantly,
just as out of an abundance of caution, I know,
we're all like, Wow, he's really doing what he said
he was going to do. But doing what he said
(34:52):
he's really going to do is not going to you know,
I hate to be the Debbie Downer here, but it's
not going to completely solve the problem. Next week, I mean,
we're we're off to the races. He's done more in
one week than I mean, he's done more good in
one week, and well, wait a minute. Maybe Biden didn't
(35:13):
do any good in four years, but he's probably done
more in one week than any president in my life. Now,
that sets up a really high bar that he's not
always going to be able to meet, and I want
to explain why. When it comes to deportations, let's get realistic.
