Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mike, at least you were able to register your car.
We bought my uncle's car because he passed and my
aunt has been having some health problems and has been
in the hospital. So we got a death certificate and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's not good enough for the state. So we have
a car that we can't register that we bought. So thanks, Colorado,
you're the best.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well I you know, this is where I'd like to
have you, just, Kevin, sit down here in this studio
and let me ask you a bunch of questions because
you have, first of fight, I don't know how the
car was titled originally? Was it in both your dad
and your mom's name? You say, your mom's still alive,
(00:43):
but she's ill. There ought to be some sort of
affidavit that she could at least, you know, get let's
say she's in assisted living or she's in a nursing
home or what. You could get some sort of you know,
where she just scribbles a name or whatever and get
a note resign it that she's or have her to
(01:03):
sign the title over and do the death certificate and
sign the title if they were joint tenants on the
title and take you see, this is what drives me
bad about the bureaucracy. I freely admit that when I
went in Monday, I know that my heart rate was
up and my blood pressure was probably up, because one,
(01:24):
I just hate queuing.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And you know, take a member three, one six. I
mean you sit there and even after you've already made
an appointment.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yes exactly, and and you sit and then you again.
Maybe it's just the lawyer brain, but the lawyer brain
is looking at all my documents because I actually, you know,
I got the letter. This says, you know, your paperwork
is ready, you need to bring the following. So I
have everything in the order that the letter says, you know,
(01:55):
paper clip together. I'm such an anal retenning lawyer had
it all ready to go.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I just handed her the whole package, like this should
be this should be the easiest thing you have.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
To do all day long. And what does she do.
She thumbs through everything real quickly. She pulls out.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Three or four things that were in the letter, hands
them back to me. Said I don't need these. Of course,
bit my lip because I wanted to say, and Mike,
you put in the letter, but.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But now you know, now the heart rates a little higher,
blood pressures, the littles a little bit higher to because
now she's going through every document and she has a
yellow highlighter and an ink pen and she's highlighting and
marking and highlighting and marking. She gets through the entire stack,
and I'm just watching every bit of this. I'm not
(02:50):
that al Kaida could have walked in and blown the
place up, and I wouldn't have known because I was
focused in on what she was doing, because I was trying,
you know, larger. The first class in law school is
how to learn to read upside down. So I'm reading
everything that she's marking upside down, ready to respond to
anything that she might question. And she's marking and marketing
(03:12):
and highlighting and marking, and she goes through it and
then she goes, oh, I need to go. If I
do this, I got to go ask a question. Oh no,
the dreaded I have to go ask a question. And
she comes back and she has me another piece of paper,
says I don't need this, well, okay, and then we
(03:36):
get to the end and it's just I felt like
I was in the Soviet Union again. I wanna emphasize
she was very polite, she was very kind. She was
a sweet girl. But the bureaucracy is exactly like the
Soviet Union, exactly like it, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
All they have to do.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's just like there's one little thing that's just not
exactly the way they want it, even though it may
in a court room may be perfectly acceptable, but in there, no,
that is you know. One of the things was I
bought the car as Michael Brown, and that's the contract.
(04:21):
My driver's license, which bugs the crap out of me
because it has my full has my full name.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't want my full name when my driver's license.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I can't get a change. We can't do that. We
can't do that. Why not it used to be Michael D. Brown.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I don't know how it became Michael dumb ass Brown,
but you know, I'd like to at.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Least get that back. Can't do though. You can't do that,
all right, Yeah, but you can change your sex to
like X can I know. But you can do that,
and you can do that with a form.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But I can't get you know, dumb ass taken out
and just have it D instead of you know, Michael
dumbass Brown. You were number four, four to six seven. Michael,
we have trouble getting my dad's car retitled when he passed.
It isn't as easy as it should be if you
have the title I arrest my case, arrest my case.
Let's move on from that, because I must spend that
much time on it all. I was talking about immigration
(05:11):
for a moment because I discovered something in reading through
some material over the past several days that gives you
a little perspective on why things were just so bad
during the Biden administration. And it's important to understand this
because we've got to learn from what they've done. We
(05:32):
have we have a midterm election coming up. I don't
know whether we have a chance in hell turning anything
around in Colorado based on who I see running so far.
But and I got I saw a thing from Michael
Bennett yesterday. Oh he's the strong man, and then he
you know, he he takes his sunglasses off in this
stupid video, and then they superimpose all the things he's done.
(05:58):
He's kept the cost of insulin, he's costs, he's capped
the cost of this, he's made things more affordable. I thought,
what bull crap, what utter bull crap. Anyway, this whole
immigration crisis that we went through in terms of just
the flood of the illegal aliens coming into the country
and now trying.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
To deal with and everybody's like, oh my god, well
we're going to deport them. We can do.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That's what we voted for. We voted to get them deported. Well,
that crisis did not just come out of nowhere. It
wasn't like God said, let there be a crisis, and
there was a crisis. It is the predictable result of
a substantial and conscious ideological shift inside the Democrat Party
(06:43):
that treated border enforcement as a moral failing rather than
a basic duty of a sovereign nation.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I chose those words very carefully.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Because the basic duty, one of the basic duties of
a sovereign nation, is to establish, protect, and defend the borders.
And to not do so is not just political malpractice.
It's not just illegal. I think it's also immoral. You
can disagree with that. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think it's immoral.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
About six years ago, the Democrat leaders published what can
only be described as the longest political suicide note in
modern American history. Now I'm going to tell you what
it was.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
In just a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
But the document is now vanished from their website, but
it survives an archive form, and it rewards and deserves
a carefulness sober read. It was titled it was a
section in their platform that says creating a twenty first
century immigration system. It's about two thousand words long. It
(07:57):
never once says the words you can do a word
search all day long until the cows come home. It
does not mention border security, even as it tries to
sketch out a vision that would all but erase any
meaningful limit on who could come into this country and who.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Could stay in this country. The only time the word
illegal appeared.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Was when they denounced Trump supposedly quote illegal, chaotic and
reckless immigration changes not in any description of unlawful entry
into this country. Now, when you strip away the rhetoric
and you just look at the text, the promises the
Democrat made were sweeping, and it helps you understand why
(08:39):
people like a Hulla Mayors mayorc As would go in
front of Congress and just lie through his teeth about
how the border was secure. How Kamala Harris would say, Hey,
I'm going to seek out the root causes of this
immigration problem and not do anything because they were adherents
to their dogma. They were adherence to their religion when
(09:00):
their religion was to open the border and flood this country.
This is why they've taken it down. This is why
you can only find it in the web archive. The
platform pledge to quote, protect and expand the existing asylum
system and other humanitarian protections. It wanted to quote and
(09:22):
trump administration policies that deny protected entry to asylum seekers.
Oh we're just let anybody. Hey, I showed up at
the border. I say the word asylum. Oh well then
come on in. Didn't make any difference where you're from
or whether it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Was true or not.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Asylum became the code word. It became the password, a
secret password, asylum. Oh come on down, come on in,
come on in. And and it would also any requirement
for them to apply for asylum from any supposedly say
third world or third countries. I vowed to end prosecution
(10:00):
of asylum seekers at the border. It promised to dismantle
unfair barriers to naturalization and prioritize family reunification as a
guiding principle of their immigration policies. That's all was reported
by the New York Times. Then it also committed to
ending workplace and community raids. You wonder why they're so
(10:23):
apoplectic right now about deportation, because they wanted to end
a workplace or a community raid. They wanted to shield
a long list of so called sensitive locations, schools, houses
of worship, health care facilities, public benefit offices, even the
DMVs they wanted to complete. They wanted to put barriers
(10:46):
around immigration enforcement around all those kinds of places, including
the place that I was at money trying to register
my car. I didn't think about it. I should have
looked around to see if there was you know, should
just ask hey, in here an illegal alien probably got
me thrown out by the sheriff standing or the security
guards standing around. Now you put all those together, all
(11:10):
of those provisions, and this now tried. They tried to
bury it. But it's on the archive that formed an
interlocking guarantee. Think about how it's an interlocking guarantee. Come here,
say the word asylum. It doesn't matter whether you have
documentation or not, and you will almost certainly be allowed
to stay, and there would be minimal risk of any
(11:32):
sort of law enforcement like a deportation after that. Now
it wasn't just that language. They knew they had to
do more than just create those kinds of policies. They
had to create incentives. They knew the surge, They created
the surge.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So none of this.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Happened in a vacuum. By the second Obama term, asylum
had already become deeply entangled as part of border management.
Is that secret password I referred to. I would think
that even a sympathetic analyst would acknowledge that those new
flows involved more complex needs than the working age immigrants
(12:16):
who had dominated all the past immigration into this country,
which is really just a polite phrase that often translated
into really limited prospects for quick integration into the labor market.
That you can find that by going to the Obama
White House archives.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You know all there.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I shouldn't say all, but I know Obama did, and
Bush did. They've archived their entire websites and you can
find those online. You can go to the Bush Center
and you can find all the web archives of everything
was on the internet during the Bush years.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
The same is true with Obama. Now, so let's take
that backdrop.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
What that did that twenty twenty platform that function as
a Batman signal, if you will, to the entire world
that we would treat that this country would treat nearly
every asylum claim as a valid ticket to come in,
and then we would restrict detention, workplace enforcement, and carry
your arrests. So it shouldn't be a surprise that all
(13:15):
these caravans began moving north within weeks of the twenty
twenty election, Even before Joe Biden was sworn in. People
understood the incenties had changed. The new administration meant what
it said.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
The border was open.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Come on down, and by the way, when you come
on down, go to Denver, go to Chicago, go to
la because this sanctuary city will provide you everything that
you possibly need. Screw you residents, screw you taxpayers. We're
going to take care of these people. That it was
all deliberate. Now, it didn't reform the asylum system. It
(13:51):
actually bypassed the asylum system, because, as vilely said, what
we really needed, and remember in the debate or somewhere
where I think as Trump said, what really really needed
was just a new president. Well that's proven to be
true because as I said, from twenty twenty, all the
way through twenty twenty five. We don't need comprehensive immigration reform.
(14:14):
What we need is enforcement of current immigration laws. And
this document that is now buried in the archives proves that,
absolutely proves it. So what they did, in effect was
to remove the last visible barrier to entry, and they
professionalize the pipeline. The smugglers, the non government organizations, the NGOs,
(14:41):
all those informal networks all started adjusting to a world
in which access to this country was treated not as
a privilege but as an entitlement. So that's why you've
got the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, every ngo. You
can possibly imagine everything you could possibly need that down
(15:02):
in in Panama, providing health care, legal advice, clothing, communications,
whatever you need to get through the dairy and gap,
We're going to provide that to you. That's the we
talked about the homeless industrial complex. It was the creation
in twenty twenty of the illegal immigration industrial complex. And
(15:23):
when you connect all of those dots, there's only one conclusion,
and that is that the collapse of any immigration restrictions
under Biden was not accidental. It wasn't because he was
just an old fart that was out of it. It
was a deliberate determination. It was the logical implementation of
(15:46):
their platform's promises. They effectively pledged that if they controlled
the federal government, they would open our borders to anybody
in the world who could either reach them or buy
a ticket and name a sponsor or even without it,
just here and use the word assign them and get in.
And we know what the results are because the results
are obvious to us. Nearly ten million. I don't know
(16:07):
whether that figure is correct, but that's the figure I'm
going to land on. Ten million people have come into
this country during the Biden years. That is unmatched in
raw numbers and likely as a share of the population,
greater than.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Anything since at least the Civil War.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
And now what do we see states and cities struggling
to the way to the emergency shelter systems, strained healthcare,
strained education budgets, welfare programs increasingly diverted to non citizens,
and coming at as we see in Minnesota, with incredible fraud.
So the public cost, you know, I've bit you moan
about the fees and taxes that we pay in Colorado.
(16:46):
The public cost to all of us, and remember, we
don't have the money to cover this. So we're borrowing
against future tax revenues, we're borrowing against future growth, We're
borrowing one against our grandchildren, our great grandchildren's future, because
the cost is measured not just in billions of dollars.
(17:09):
But I believe in legitimacy of the federal government. Our
trust of the federal government will honor its most basic
duties to its citizens. So how did the party reach
the point where the erasing of borders became a point
of pride and not a point of alarm. Well, I
(17:33):
think part of the answer is moral rhetoric that's untethered
from practical responsibility. So the Democrats framed enforcement as well,
it's cruel that you talking what you hear?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Now, what do you hear?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
What do they cry and scream and holler when we
see ice moving in somewhere and you know, they're being
attacked by protesters while they're trying to arrest somebody, Well
we here, Oh my gosh, this is cruel, it's bigotry,
it's racist. And all the time they scream, Democrats scream
about you know, the vision of a family unit. Oh,
(18:10):
it's humanitarian protection. Well, when you use that language, that
shifts every burden of this generosity onto you as a
taxpayer and to every community, whether you're a sanctuary city
or not, because every dollar gets sucked up by the
FEDS toil you then get sent back to sanctuary cities
(18:30):
or sanctuary states. Again, this money that's taken out of
the private sector that could be used for a good
to grow and make this economy better, instead is used
on others that should not even be here.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's just raw politics.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Per chet Gupt. There are five point four motor vehicles
registered in the state of Colorado as of November twenty four.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That's a lot of dollars when you multiply that out
to the mass. Why you just did Thanks for doing it.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yes, it is a lot, and that helps you understand
why they classify things as fees instead of taxes.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I think I hit a nerve with that one when
you look at the text line.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So about the immigration, we're all politics when you have
a permanent increase in illegal immigration, which gets is reflected
again in their twenty twenty and then again in their
twenty twenty four platform, all about expanding visas and permanently
increasing family sponsored and employment based immigration. Whether it's h
(19:51):
one v visas or anything else. Now you get the
prospect of reshaping the electorate over time. Even we're new
arrivals might even share a few of the party's cultural values.
The mere presence of those illegal aliens changes the political math.
(20:13):
While many of the costs fall on working and middle
class Americans who are struggling, just as somebody on the
text line struggling paycheck to paycheck. Those are Americans who
don't have lobbyists, they don't have publicists, they don't have
you know, NGOs behind them. And in fact, those are
the people that are paying the taxes that aren't even enough.
(20:36):
And I'm not advocating for more taxes. I'm just saying
what they pay in taxes is not enough to pay
for everything that all those stupid y'a who's in commresce
want everybody to pay for.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And we just let it go. We just let it go.
That's why I think Trump won.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Based on making immigration and sealing the border of the
number one priority. But stop and think about he did that.
We all see the how of chorus. We then demand enforcement,
The enforcement starts, and suddenly it's like, you know, we
we all kind of intuitively know that an autopsy is
(21:14):
probably pretty gruesome, but we don't really think about it.
We know that we just if, if, if somebody dies
of u natural causes, we want to know why, But
we don't want to see the process. We don't want
to see them, you know, taking the saw and opening
the skull up. We don't want to see them, you know,
you know, cutting down through the rib cage and then
(21:37):
taking the clamps and opening up the ribcage and showing
everything inside.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I'm trying to be really graphic.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Because oh, because I think even some conservatives, even some Republicans, Oh,
we want we want immigration and enforcement, we want deportations. Okay,
well we're going to do them. It's not pretty, just
like it's not pretty. We want aw enforcement to stop
the bad guys. But when the bad guys shoot back
at the cops and then somebody the cops shoot back
(22:08):
at the bad guy at the thug, and the thug
ends up DRT dead right there, and it shows up
on our textpayer relief shots on our Friday. Then I
get text message about, oh, how can you play that stuff? Well,
I'm just telling you the real world. I want to
sound like Jack Nicholson say you can't handle the truth.
I think this audience can handle the truth. Beneath all
(22:30):
these abstractions that I've talked about are real harms that
still exists. I know, we've got a year of Trump
under the belt, almost a year, give us a couple
more weeks. You got fifty weeks, say of Trump under
the belt, Trump two point zero. But there are still
concrete harms that have to be solved because there are
(22:53):
foreign nationals that are still getting subsidized housing, they get
emergency health care, they get schooling in education, getting snapped,
and other benefits, and they inevitably inherently divert billions of
dollars from programs that are supposed to be for American citizens.
And that happens in every single state. I don't care
how red you are. I don't care Florida, Lookahoma, text,
(23:15):
I don't care how red you are. To coaches, screw you.
It's still happening in your state, maybe just not on
the scale that it's happening in a place like California
or Colorado.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
This is not just a budget issue.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I know that money's easy to focus on, but when
you have a system that abandons, neglects, ignores in fact,
says we're not going to do it serious vetting pet
treats detention as well. We're embarrassed. We don't want to
detain anybody. I think that is you know, that's reflected.
(23:56):
I know I'm talking about immigration, but what I just
said made me think that it's an embarrassment. Why do
you think that these soft on crime prosecutors and district
attorneys do what they do because it's the same mentality, Oh,
incarcerating somebody for doing something bad, like you know, raping
(24:18):
a woman, you know, molesting a child, engaging in human trafficking. Well,
you know, they just you know, and we ought to
be considerate that. You know, maybe they can't read the
traffic signs and they don't know what stop means, and
they don't know how to read the the interstate signs.
But let's give them a driver's license anyway and let
them go out and you know, kill innocent people on
(24:39):
the highway. But let's not arrest them or do anything,
because then that would be embarrassing And besides, that goes
against what we're really trying to accomplish. So it's not
just immigration, spills over into every aspect of our lives.
And then when you do that, or when you allow that,
I should say that's about when you allow that, that
(25:03):
curtails all the interior enforcement, and that creates very real
security risks. It invites well, really desperate people, poor people,
but it also invites criminals, traffickers, It invites opportunists who
understand that the oughts of getting removed are vanished and
(25:23):
small once they make it inside the country. And at
the same time, if you import an entire community that
has no intention or at least little intention of cultural
or civic assimilation, that strains our shared values and norms,
that holds a diverse republic together, we're fraying.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I truly believe that we are fraying.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
And it is that democrats. And I know I've arped
on Democrats a lot today, but this is the reality
of who they are. And if you can't accept that,
then maybe you is one. If you can't accept it,
maybe you ought to go on to the archive.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Dragon yet. Do you have the archive? Think the Internet archive? Yeah?
Have you put it up yet? All right, I've got
a link if you need, I'll send you. If you
can't find, I'll.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Sen Jan to put it Michael says, go here dot com,
then I can put it.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Michael says, that's exactly right, because I.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Want you to read this because it really tells you
who they are, because this is a feature.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Of who they are. It's not a bug, it's not
an aberration. It is who they are.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
The core truth that I'm trying to speak plainly, is this,
the breakdown of the border under Democrat governance is intentional.
It's rooted in an ideological conviction that national boundaries are
(26:59):
really not necessar maybe negotiable, probably shameful in the minds
of many people, and in a political calculation that though
short term chaos is a price worth pain because that
chaos will eventually cloud and piven, that chaos will get
(27:20):
us to what our ultimate goal is, power, long term
political power.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You tell me.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
It's not a rhetorical question, which you really think. What's
compassionate about overloading a public school system, overloading a hospital,
public a private I don't care. What's moral or compassionate
about suppressing wages, particularly at the bottom of the labor market.
What's moral or compassionate about turning a local community into
(27:59):
some refugee camps. I don't think there's anything moral about
telling law abiding, you know, aliens who waited years to
come into this country legally, that well, you were just
a sucker, and then telling those who arrived, you know,
just last week or last month, well we're going to
fast track you into housing, work authorization, to facto permanent residence.
(28:28):
So I think the path forward is pretty clear. Any
serious reform, if reform is even needed, you got to
start by restoring a principle, a very basic principle, that
we as a nation have a right and an obligation
to decide who comes, who doesn't, who stays, who can't,
(28:53):
and to enforce those decisions consistently. That does not mean
we need a whole, comprehensive, then progreration reform system. That
means we simply re establish the tension as a real
default mechanism at the border, sharply narrowing the grounds for
asylum only those who are truly seeking asylum, and in fact,
(29:16):
quite frankly, I would limit that to those who are really, truly, sincerely,
genuinely and are in imminent danger of death. Otherwise, if
I were to support person yeming in some craphole country,
in a some third world crap hole country. I would
come here and seek asylum because I would argue that
(29:38):
my life is in danger because I can't. My children
are malnurised, I'm malnourished, I don't have running water. I
live in a you know, in a dirt dugout. Well,
it sucks to be you. But that's not my understanding
of asylum. My understanding of asylum is you live under
a regime that you're a post two and they are
(30:01):
looking to kill you. They're looking to break into your
home in the middle of the night, rape your wife,
kill your children, kill you. Well, you rape your wife
in front of you and then kill you, kill you.
Then those people I might consider a cycle.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Hey, Michael and Dragon, you can bet your last dollar
that if illegal aliens coming across the border, we're shown
to be voting for Republicans. Every prominent Democrat from Nancy
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on down would be building and
paying for the wall.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Personally, you think you think so.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I think you are absolutely correct. But I would be
a smart ass and say, you, sir, are the master
of the obvious. Master of the obvious. Let's go to
the document for just a moment. I sent it to
drug dragons are gonna get up on the website, Michael says,
go here dot com. Just listen and again think about
(31:08):
Orwell and Hayak and how language eventually morphs into government propaganda,
all designed to get you to, you know, believe that, oh,
you must be wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Which is why, as long as I.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Got in access to a microphone, I'm going to keep
drawing everybody back into the real world, not this fantasy
land that Republicans and Democrats alike for that matter, want
us to live in. The heading is, and I said
at the beginning, creating a twenty first century immigration system.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And listen to this.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Out of many, we are one that bedrock. American idea
has animated our country from its earliest days, inspiring people
from every corner of the earth to participate in our
great democratic experiment. Yes, eay plurbus, that's that's national motto
out and that is the bedrock of American ideas. But
(32:07):
so is you know, the Bill of Rights, so is
private property, so is individualism. But just because it inspires
people from every corner of the earth to participate, doesn't
mean that every person from every corner of the earth
can participate or should participate, and in fact, they say
(32:29):
in the very next sentence, the Trump administration has repudiated
that idea and abandon our values as a diverse, compassionate,
and welcoming country.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh well, I I want us to be, and I
think we are diverse. Hell's mails. Look around. Are we compassionate?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
We are the most compassionate country in the face of
this planet, monetarily, morally, in any way you can possibly
measure and welcoming. Yeah, but we're a country of the
rule of law. And you know, if you want to
come and visit, great, come and visit. We'd like to
you know, we'd like to take some of your money,
(33:10):
and we'd like to have your business and then go home. Now,
if you want to come here and live here and
assimilate and become a part of this, then there's a
legal system to do that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Just like if I want to move to uh.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Saudi Arabia, there's a mechanism by which I might be
able to do that. Might be a little easier in say,
maybe Japan. I've got friends Americans. I've got expats that
live in Japan. I have expats that live in in
the UK, I have expats that live all over Europe,
some South America, but they all went there the legal way.
(33:49):
Why why is that wrong? And speak of language meant
to tug at your heart. The Democrats ruvo and then
took down. Remember they don't want you to hear this.
Instead of pursuing a sensible, humane, and responsible approach to
immigration that strengthens the United States, that Trump administration has
(34:13):
been callous, cruel, and reckless in the extreme. President Trump's
immigration policies have made our communities less safe, undermined our economy,
and tarnished our image around the world.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
What a load of you know what
Mike, at least you were able to register your car.
We bought my uncle's car because he passed and my
aunt has been having some health problems and has been
in the hospital. So we got a death certificate and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's not good enough for the state. So we have
a car that we can't register that we bought. So thanks, Colorado,
you're the best.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well I you know, this is where I'd like to
have you, just, Kevin, sit down here in this studio
and let me ask you a bunch of questions because
you have, first of fight, I don't know how the
car was titled originally? Was it in both your dad
and your mom's name? You say, your mom's still alive,
(00:43):
but she's ill. There ought to be some sort of
affidavit that she could at least, you know, get let's
say she's in assisted living or she's in a nursing
home or what. You could get some sort of you know,
where she just scribbles a name or whatever and get
a note resign it that she's or have her to
(01:03):
sign the title over and do the death certificate and
sign the title if they were joint tenants on the
title and take you see, this is what drives me
bad about the bureaucracy. I freely admit that when I
went in Monday, I know that my heart rate was
up and my blood pressure was probably up, because one,
(01:24):
I just hate queuing.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And you know, take a member three, one six. I
mean you sit there and even after you've already made
an appointment.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yes exactly, and and you sit and then you again.
Maybe it's just the lawyer brain, but the lawyer brain
is looking at all my documents because I actually, you know,
I got the letter. This says, you know, your paperwork
is ready, you need to bring the following. So I
have everything in the order that the letter says, you know,
(01:55):
paper clip together. I'm such an anal retenning lawyer had
it all ready to go.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I just handed her the whole package, like this should
be this should be the easiest thing you have.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
To do all day long. And what does she do.
She thumbs through everything real quickly. She pulls out.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Three or four things that were in the letter, hands
them back to me. Said I don't need these. Of course,
bit my lip because I wanted to say, and Mike,
you put in the letter, but.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But now you know, now the heart rates a little higher,
blood pressures, the littles a little bit higher to because
now she's going through every document and she has a
yellow highlighter and an ink pen and she's highlighting and
marking and highlighting and marking. She gets through the entire stack,
and I'm just watching every bit of this. I'm not
(02:50):
that al Kaida could have walked in and blown the
place up, and I wouldn't have known because I was
focused in on what she was doing, because I was trying,
you know, larger. The first class in law school is
how to learn to read upside down. So I'm reading
everything that she's marking upside down, ready to respond to
anything that she might question. And she's marking and marketing
(03:12):
and highlighting and marking, and she goes through it and
then she goes, oh, I need to go. If I
do this, I got to go ask a question. Oh no,
the dreaded I have to go ask a question. And
she comes back and she has me another piece of paper,
says I don't need this, well, okay, and then we
(03:36):
get to the end and it's just I felt like
I was in the Soviet Union again. I wanna emphasize
she was very polite, she was very kind. She was
a sweet girl. But the bureaucracy is exactly like the
Soviet Union, exactly like it, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
All they have to do.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's just like there's one little thing that's just not
exactly the way they want it, even though it may
in a court room may be perfectly acceptable, but in there, no,
that is you know. One of the things was I
bought the car as Michael Brown, and that's the contract.
(04:21):
My driver's license, which bugs the crap out of me
because it has my full has my full name.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't want my full name when my driver's license.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I can't get a change. We can't do that. We
can't do that. Why not it used to be Michael D. Brown.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I don't know how it became Michael dumb ass Brown,
but you know, I'd like to at.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Least get that back. Can't do though. You can't do that,
all right, Yeah, but you can change your sex to
like X can I know. But you can do that,
and you can do that with a form.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But I can't get you know, dumb ass taken out
and just have it D instead of you know, Michael
dumbass Brown. You were number four, four to six seven. Michael,
we have trouble getting my dad's car retitled when he passed.
It isn't as easy as it should be if you
have the title I arrest my case, arrest my case.
Let's move on from that, because I must spend that
much time on it all. I was talking about immigration
(05:11):
for a moment because I discovered something in reading through
some material over the past several days that gives you
a little perspective on why things were just so bad
during the Biden administration. And it's important to understand this
because we've got to learn from what they've done. We
(05:32):
have we have a midterm election coming up. I don't
know whether we have a chance in hell turning anything
around in Colorado based on who I see running so far.
But and I got I saw a thing from Michael
Bennett yesterday. Oh he's the strong man, and then he
you know, he he takes his sunglasses off in this
stupid video, and then they superimpose all the things he's done.
(05:58):
He's kept the cost of insulin, he's costs, he's capped
the cost of this, he's made things more affordable. I thought,
what bull crap, what utter bull crap. Anyway, this whole
immigration crisis that we went through in terms of just
the flood of the illegal aliens coming into the country
and now trying.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
To deal with and everybody's like, oh my god, well
we're going to deport them. We can do.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That's what we voted for. We voted to get them deported. Well,
that crisis did not just come out of nowhere. It
wasn't like God said, let there be a crisis, and
there was a crisis. It is the predictable result of
a substantial and conscious ideological shift inside the Democrat Party
(06:43):
that treated border enforcement as a moral failing rather than
a basic duty of a sovereign nation.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I chose those words very carefully.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Because the basic duty, one of the basic duties of
a sovereign nation, is to establish, protect, and defend the borders.
And to not do so is not just political malpractice.
It's not just illegal. I think it's also immoral. You
can disagree with that. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think it's immoral.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
About six years ago, the Democrat leaders published what can
only be described as the longest political suicide note in
modern American history. Now I'm going to tell you what
it was.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
In just a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
But the document is now vanished from their website, but
it survives an archive form, and it rewards and deserves
a carefulness sober read. It was titled it was a
section in their platform that says creating a twenty first
century immigration system. It's about two thousand words long. It
(07:57):
never once says the words you can do a word
search all day long until the cows come home. It
does not mention border security, even as it tries to
sketch out a vision that would all but erase any
meaningful limit on who could come into this country and who.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Could stay in this country. The only time the word
illegal appeared.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Was when they denounced Trump supposedly quote illegal, chaotic and
reckless immigration changes not in any description of unlawful entry
into this country. Now, when you strip away the rhetoric
and you just look at the text, the promises the
Democrat made were sweeping, and it helps you understand why
(08:39):
people like a Hulla Mayors mayorc As would go in
front of Congress and just lie through his teeth about
how the border was secure. How Kamala Harris would say, Hey,
I'm going to seek out the root causes of this
immigration problem and not do anything because they were adherents
to their dogma. They were adherence to their religion when
(09:00):
their religion was to open the border and flood this country.
This is why they've taken it down. This is why
you can only find it in the web archive. The
platform pledge to quote, protect and expand the existing asylum
system and other humanitarian protections. It wanted to quote and
(09:22):
trump administration policies that deny protected entry to asylum seekers.
Oh we're just let anybody. Hey, I showed up at
the border. I say the word asylum. Oh well then
come on in. Didn't make any difference where you're from
or whether it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Was true or not.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Asylum became the code word. It became the password, a
secret password, asylum. Oh come on down, come on in,
come on in. And and it would also any requirement
for them to apply for asylum from any supposedly say
third world or third countries. I vowed to end prosecution
(10:00):
of asylum seekers at the border. It promised to dismantle
unfair barriers to naturalization and prioritize family reunification as a
guiding principle of their immigration policies. That's all was reported
by the New York Times. Then it also committed to
ending workplace and community raids. You wonder why they're so
(10:23):
apoplectic right now about deportation, because they wanted to end
a workplace or a community raid. They wanted to shield
a long list of so called sensitive locations, schools, houses
of worship, health care facilities, public benefit offices, even the
DMVs they wanted to complete. They wanted to put barriers
(10:46):
around immigration enforcement around all those kinds of places, including
the place that I was at money trying to register
my car. I didn't think about it. I should have
looked around to see if there was you know, should
just ask hey, in here an illegal alien probably got
me thrown out by the sheriff standing or the security
guards standing around. Now you put all those together, all
(11:10):
of those provisions, and this now tried. They tried to
bury it. But it's on the archive that formed an
interlocking guarantee. Think about how it's an interlocking guarantee. Come here,
say the word asylum. It doesn't matter whether you have
documentation or not, and you will almost certainly be allowed
to stay, and there would be minimal risk of any
(11:32):
sort of law enforcement like a deportation after that. Now
it wasn't just that language. They knew they had to
do more than just create those kinds of policies. They
had to create incentives. They knew the surge, They created
the surge.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So none of this.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Happened in a vacuum. By the second Obama term, asylum
had already become deeply entangled as part of border management.
Is that secret password I referred to. I would think
that even a sympathetic analyst would acknowledge that those new
flows involved more complex needs than the working age immigrants
(12:16):
who had dominated all the past immigration into this country,
which is really just a polite phrase that often translated
into really limited prospects for quick integration into the labor market.
That you can find that by going to the Obama
White House archives.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You know all there.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I shouldn't say all, but I know Obama did, and
Bush did. They've archived their entire websites and you can
find those online. You can go to the Bush Center
and you can find all the web archives of everything
was on the internet during the Bush years.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
The same is true with Obama. Now, so let's take
that backdrop.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
What that did that twenty twenty platform that function as
a Batman signal, if you will, to the entire world
that we would treat that this country would treat nearly
every asylum claim as a valid ticket to come in,
and then we would restrict detention, workplace enforcement, and carry
your arrests. So it shouldn't be a surprise that all
(13:15):
these caravans began moving north within weeks of the twenty
twenty election, Even before Joe Biden was sworn in. People
understood the incenties had changed. The new administration meant what
it said.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
The border was open.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Come on down, and by the way, when you come
on down, go to Denver, go to Chicago, go to
la because this sanctuary city will provide you everything that
you possibly need. Screw you residents, screw you taxpayers. We're
going to take care of these people. That it was
all deliberate. Now, it didn't reform the asylum system. It
(13:51):
actually bypassed the asylum system, because, as vilely said, what
we really needed, and remember in the debate or somewhere
where I think as Trump said, what really really needed
was just a new president. Well that's proven to be
true because as I said, from twenty twenty, all the
way through twenty twenty five. We don't need comprehensive immigration reform.
(14:14):
What we need is enforcement of current immigration laws. And
this document that is now buried in the archives proves that,
absolutely proves it. So what they did, in effect was
to remove the last visible barrier to entry, and they
professionalize the pipeline. The smugglers, the non government organizations, the NGOs,
(14:41):
all those informal networks all started adjusting to a world
in which access to this country was treated not as
a privilege but as an entitlement. So that's why you've
got the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, every ngo. You
can possibly imagine everything you could possibly need that down
(15:02):
in in Panama, providing health care, legal advice, clothing, communications,
whatever you need to get through the dairy and gap,
We're going to provide that to you. That's the we
talked about the homeless industrial complex. It was the creation
in twenty twenty of the illegal immigration industrial complex. And
(15:23):
when you connect all of those dots, there's only one conclusion,
and that is that the collapse of any immigration restrictions
under Biden was not accidental. It wasn't because he was
just an old fart that was out of it. It
was a deliberate determination. It was the logical implementation of
(15:46):
their platform's promises. They effectively pledged that if they controlled
the federal government, they would open our borders to anybody
in the world who could either reach them or buy
a ticket and name a sponsor or even without it,
just here and use the word assign them and get in.
And we know what the results are because the results
are obvious to us. Nearly ten million. I don't know
(16:07):
whether that figure is correct, but that's the figure I'm
going to land on. Ten million people have come into
this country during the Biden years. That is unmatched in
raw numbers and likely as a share of the population,
greater than.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Anything since at least the Civil War.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
And now what do we see states and cities struggling
to the way to the emergency shelter systems, strained healthcare,
strained education budgets, welfare programs increasingly diverted to non citizens,
and coming at as we see in Minnesota, with incredible fraud.
So the public cost, you know, I've bit you moan
about the fees and taxes that we pay in Colorado.
(16:46):
The public cost to all of us, and remember, we
don't have the money to cover this. So we're borrowing
against future tax revenues, we're borrowing against future growth, We're
borrowing one against our grandchildren, our great grandchildren's future, because
the cost is measured not just in billions of dollars.
(17:09):
But I believe in legitimacy of the federal government. Our
trust of the federal government will honor its most basic
duties to its citizens. So how did the party reach
the point where the erasing of borders became a point
of pride and not a point of alarm. Well, I
(17:33):
think part of the answer is moral rhetoric that's untethered
from practical responsibility. So the Democrats framed enforcement as well,
it's cruel that you talking what you hear?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Now, what do you hear?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
What do they cry and scream and holler when we
see ice moving in somewhere and you know, they're being
attacked by protesters while they're trying to arrest somebody, Well
we here, Oh my gosh, this is cruel, it's bigotry,
it's racist. And all the time they scream, Democrats scream
about you know, the vision of a family unit. Oh,
(18:10):
it's humanitarian protection. Well, when you use that language, that
shifts every burden of this generosity onto you as a
taxpayer and to every community, whether you're a sanctuary city
or not, because every dollar gets sucked up by the
FEDS toil you then get sent back to sanctuary cities
(18:30):
or sanctuary states. Again, this money that's taken out of
the private sector that could be used for a good
to grow and make this economy better, instead is used
on others that should not even be here.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's just raw politics.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Per chet Gupt. There are five point four motor vehicles
registered in the state of Colorado as of November twenty four.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That's a lot of dollars when you multiply that out
to the mass. Why you just did Thanks for doing it.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yes, it is a lot, and that helps you understand
why they classify things as fees instead of taxes.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I think I hit a nerve with that one when
you look at the text line.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So about the immigration, we're all politics when you have
a permanent increase in illegal immigration, which gets is reflected
again in their twenty twenty and then again in their
twenty twenty four platform, all about expanding visas and permanently
increasing family sponsored and employment based immigration. Whether it's h
(19:51):
one v visas or anything else. Now you get the
prospect of reshaping the electorate over time. Even we're new
arrivals might even share a few of the party's cultural values.
The mere presence of those illegal aliens changes the political math.
(20:13):
While many of the costs fall on working and middle
class Americans who are struggling, just as somebody on the
text line struggling paycheck to paycheck. Those are Americans who
don't have lobbyists, they don't have publicists, they don't have
you know, NGOs behind them. And in fact, those are
the people that are paying the taxes that aren't even enough.
(20:36):
And I'm not advocating for more taxes. I'm just saying
what they pay in taxes is not enough to pay
for everything that all those stupid y'a who's in commresce
want everybody to pay for.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And we just let it go. We just let it go.
That's why I think Trump won.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Based on making immigration and sealing the border of the
number one priority. But stop and think about he did that.
We all see the how of chorus. We then demand enforcement,
The enforcement starts, and suddenly it's like, you know, we
we all kind of intuitively know that an autopsy is
(21:14):
probably pretty gruesome, but we don't really think about it.
We know that we just if, if, if somebody dies
of u natural causes, we want to know why, But
we don't want to see the process. We don't want
to see them, you know, taking the saw and opening
the skull up. We don't want to see them, you know,
you know, cutting down through the rib cage and then
(21:37):
taking the clamps and opening up the ribcage and showing
everything inside.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I'm trying to be really graphic.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Because oh, because I think even some conservatives, even some Republicans, Oh,
we want we want immigration and enforcement, we want deportations. Okay,
well we're going to do them. It's not pretty, just
like it's not pretty. We want aw enforcement to stop
the bad guys. But when the bad guys shoot back
at the cops and then somebody the cops shoot back
(22:08):
at the bad guy at the thug, and the thug
ends up DRT dead right there, and it shows up
on our textpayer relief shots on our Friday. Then I
get text message about, oh, how can you play that stuff? Well,
I'm just telling you the real world. I want to
sound like Jack Nicholson say you can't handle the truth.
I think this audience can handle the truth. Beneath all
(22:30):
these abstractions that I've talked about are real harms that
still exists. I know, we've got a year of Trump
under the belt, almost a year, give us a couple
more weeks. You got fifty weeks, say of Trump under
the belt, Trump two point zero. But there are still
concrete harms that have to be solved because there are
(22:53):
foreign nationals that are still getting subsidized housing, they get
emergency health care, they get schooling in education, getting snapped,
and other benefits, and they inevitably inherently divert billions of
dollars from programs that are supposed to be for American citizens.
And that happens in every single state. I don't care
how red you are. I don't care Florida, Lookahoma, text,
(23:15):
I don't care how red you are. To coaches, screw you.
It's still happening in your state, maybe just not on
the scale that it's happening in a place like California
or Colorado.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
This is not just a budget issue.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I know that money's easy to focus on, but when
you have a system that abandons, neglects, ignores in fact,
says we're not going to do it serious vetting pet
treats detention as well. We're embarrassed. We don't want to
detain anybody. I think that is you know, that's reflected.
(23:56):
I know I'm talking about immigration, but what I just
said made me think that it's an embarrassment. Why do
you think that these soft on crime prosecutors and district
attorneys do what they do because it's the same mentality, Oh,
incarcerating somebody for doing something bad, like you know, raping
(24:18):
a woman, you know, molesting a child, engaging in human trafficking. Well,
you know, they just you know, and we ought to
be considerate that. You know, maybe they can't read the
traffic signs and they don't know what stop means, and
they don't know how to read the the interstate signs.
But let's give them a driver's license anyway and let
them go out and you know, kill innocent people on
(24:39):
the highway. But let's not arrest them or do anything,
because then that would be embarrassing And besides, that goes
against what we're really trying to accomplish. So it's not
just immigration, spills over into every aspect of our lives.
And then when you do that, or when you allow that,
I should say that's about when you allow that, that
(25:03):
curtails all the interior enforcement, and that creates very real
security risks. It invites well, really desperate people, poor people,
but it also invites criminals, traffickers, It invites opportunists who
understand that the oughts of getting removed are vanished and
(25:23):
small once they make it inside the country. And at
the same time, if you import an entire community that
has no intention or at least little intention of cultural
or civic assimilation, that strains our shared values and norms,
that holds a diverse republic together, we're fraying.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I truly believe that we are fraying.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
And it is that democrats. And I know I've arped
on Democrats a lot today, but this is the reality
of who they are. And if you can't accept that,
then maybe you is one. If you can't accept it,
maybe you ought to go on to the archive.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Dragon yet. Do you have the archive? Think the Internet archive? Yeah?
Have you put it up yet? All right, I've got
a link if you need, I'll send you. If you
can't find, I'll.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Sen Jan to put it Michael says, go here dot com,
then I can put it.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Michael says, that's exactly right, because I.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Want you to read this because it really tells you
who they are, because this is a feature.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Of who they are. It's not a bug, it's not
an aberration. It is who they are.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
The core truth that I'm trying to speak plainly, is this,
the breakdown of the border under Democrat governance is intentional.
It's rooted in an ideological conviction that national boundaries are
(26:59):
really not necessar maybe negotiable, probably shameful in the minds
of many people, and in a political calculation that though
short term chaos is a price worth pain because that
chaos will eventually cloud and piven, that chaos will get
(27:20):
us to what our ultimate goal is, power, long term
political power.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You tell me.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
It's not a rhetorical question, which you really think. What's
compassionate about overloading a public school system, overloading a hospital,
public a private I don't care. What's moral or compassionate
about suppressing wages, particularly at the bottom of the labor market.
What's moral or compassionate about turning a local community into
(27:59):
some refugee camps. I don't think there's anything moral about
telling law abiding, you know, aliens who waited years to
come into this country legally, that well, you were just
a sucker, and then telling those who arrived, you know,
just last week or last month, well we're going to
fast track you into housing, work authorization, to facto permanent residence.
(28:28):
So I think the path forward is pretty clear. Any
serious reform, if reform is even needed, you got to
start by restoring a principle, a very basic principle, that
we as a nation have a right and an obligation
to decide who comes, who doesn't, who stays, who can't,
(28:53):
and to enforce those decisions consistently. That does not mean
we need a whole, comprehensive, then progreration reform system. That
means we simply re establish the tension as a real
default mechanism at the border, sharply narrowing the grounds for
asylum only those who are truly seeking asylum, and in fact,
(29:16):
quite frankly, I would limit that to those who are really, truly, sincerely,
genuinely and are in imminent danger of death. Otherwise, if
I were to support person yeming in some craphole country,
in a some third world crap hole country. I would
come here and seek asylum because I would argue that
(29:38):
my life is in danger because I can't. My children
are malnurised, I'm malnourished, I don't have running water. I
live in a you know, in a dirt dugout. Well,
it sucks to be you. But that's not my understanding
of asylum. My understanding of asylum is you live under
a regime that you're a post two and they are
(30:01):
looking to kill you. They're looking to break into your
home in the middle of the night, rape your wife,
kill your children, kill you. Well, you rape your wife
in front of you and then kill you, kill you.
Then those people I might consider a cycle.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Hey, Michael and Dragon, you can bet your last dollar
that if illegal aliens coming across the border, we're shown
to be voting for Republicans. Every prominent Democrat from Nancy
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on down would be building and
paying for the wall.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Personally, you think you think so.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I think you are absolutely correct. But I would be
a smart ass and say, you, sir, are the master
of the obvious. Master of the obvious. Let's go to
the document for just a moment. I sent it to
drug dragons are gonna get up on the website, Michael says,
go here dot com. Just listen and again think about
(31:08):
Orwell and Hayak and how language eventually morphs into government propaganda,
all designed to get you to, you know, believe that, oh,
you must be wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Which is why, as long as I.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Got in access to a microphone, I'm going to keep
drawing everybody back into the real world, not this fantasy
land that Republicans and Democrats alike for that matter, want
us to live in. The heading is, and I said
at the beginning, creating a twenty first century immigration system.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And listen to this.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Out of many, we are one that bedrock. American idea
has animated our country from its earliest days, inspiring people
from every corner of the earth to participate in our
great democratic experiment. Yes, eay plurbus, that's that's national motto
out and that is the bedrock of American ideas. But
(32:07):
so is you know, the Bill of Rights, so is
private property, so is individualism. But just because it inspires
people from every corner of the earth to participate, doesn't
mean that every person from every corner of the earth
can participate or should participate, and in fact, they say
(32:29):
in the very next sentence, the Trump administration has repudiated
that idea and abandon our values as a diverse, compassionate,
and welcoming country.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh well, I I want us to be, and I
think we are diverse. Hell's mails. Look around. Are we compassionate?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
We are the most compassionate country in the face of
this planet, monetarily, morally, in any way you can possibly
measure and welcoming. Yeah, but we're a country of the
rule of law. And you know, if you want to
come and visit, great, come and visit. We'd like to
you know, we'd like to take some of your money,
(33:10):
and we'd like to have your business and then go home. Now,
if you want to come here and live here and
assimilate and become a part of this, then there's a
legal system to do that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Just like if I want to move to uh.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Saudi Arabia, there's a mechanism by which I might be
able to do that. Might be a little easier in say,
maybe Japan. I've got friends Americans. I've got expats that
live in Japan. I have expats that live in in
the UK, I have expats that live all over Europe,
some South America, but they all went there the legal way.
(33:49):
Why why is that wrong? And speak of language meant
to tug at your heart. The Democrats ruvo and then
took down. Remember they don't want you to hear this.
Instead of pursuing a sensible, humane, and responsible approach to
immigration that strengthens the United States, that Trump administration has
(34:13):
been callous, cruel, and reckless in the extreme. President Trump's
immigration policies have made our communities less safe, undermined our economy,
and tarnished our image around the world.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
What a load of you know what
