Here's your conservative but not bitter host, Todd Huff. 5 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.560 All right, my friends, you have tuned in. Wise choice you made 6 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.280 here today to America's home for conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, 7 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.399 the one, the only, the beloved Todd Huff. Email Todd at 8 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.039 Toddoffshow dot com. Three one seven, two one zero twenty eight point thirty 9 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.119 is the number that you can text us with the same sorts of things. 10 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.520 And it is a pleasure to be here today. You know, the Democrat 11 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:11.319 governor of the Connecticut I believe, has actually come out and he said, 12 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:17.359 look, we I've tried to help. I have tried to help President Biden 13 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.760 along the southern border. I've written a letter along one of my other governor 14 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.120 colleagues, the governor from the state of Vermont, who is by the way, 15 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:33.719 a Republican, But the White House has just refused our help. We 16 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:38.439 have been rejected. We have, folks. The reason I want to talk 17 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.920 about this, and I know we talked about illegal immigration, border security, 18 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.280 all this stuff for some time now, and it's an issue that matters number 19 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.920 one, because we've got this piece of legislation they're trying to sneak past the 20 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.879 American people that I want to make sure that we don't allow that to happen. 21 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000 We don't allow that to happen because and here's the takeaway. The most 22 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:10.120 important thing to know about the issue of border security is that we have won 23 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.520 this argument. We have won the argument about the border. We have won 24 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:24.639 it in every measurable way. We have Democrat mayors in cities that are admitting 25 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:32.280 they have a problem because of illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants that have been allowed 26 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.439 to cross our border, that cities and states are not prepared, are not 27 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:45.560 prepared to provide necessary infrastructure and services to it is not they are not prepared 28 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.919 to do that. They are not prepared to do that in any number of 29 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:57.560 ways. And so Democrats are now admitting this. Democrats are admitting this. 30 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.639 We have now a governor, the governor of the states of Connecticut, I 31 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:10.599 said Colorado. Ned Lamont said he offered himself to President Biden and again President 32 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:17.479 dismissed it. President rejected it. When you have you've got. We mentioned 33 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:27.879 the other day Rapper fifty cent fifty cent out there saying Trump maybe the answer. 34 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.719 We have Rapper Snoop Dogg saying that he has nothing but love and respect 35 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:38.360 for Trump. We had Michael Rappaport, which we played yesterday, the guy 36 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.280 who's I mean, unhinged in so many ways, vulgar and vile in so 37 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:50.960 many ways. He's out there saying the vote for Trump is still on the 38 00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:00.840 table because of what illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants attacked six law enforcement officers in 39 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.800 New York City at Times Square, and there seems to be no concern for 40 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.800 this now, at least not amongst our political leaders, amongst the average Americans. 41 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.759 Of course, of course there are concerns and problems. We have won 42 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.839 on this argument now, But there's an important distinction, and that's what I 43 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:26.199 want to get to today, because look, I know some of you are 44 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.639 seasoned vets. This is not the first time that you've been through this. 45 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.240 You've seen this game played before. You've seen the games of semantics, you've 46 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:39.879 seen the games of posturing. You've seen people campaigning in a very specific way, 47 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.560 and then once the election was over, they never even thought about the 48 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.800 issue they were campaigning on. Some of you are season vets. You need 49 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.480 to patch yourself on the back because you know what's going on here. But 50 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.120 we have a whole host of other people, a whole host of other people 51 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.879 who have been awakened in recent years because of problems that have been created by 52 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:09.360 our government, created by lovers of government, made worse by the lovers of 53 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:15.560 government ushered in by the extreme radical leftists who do not represent but just the 54 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.720 tiniest of portions of this great nation. It's a I don't even know if 55 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.519 a fringe is the correct way of referring to this group. It's a portion 56 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.480 of the fringe. Extreme radical leftists have ushered in all sorts of chaos in 57 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:38.360 this country. And for those who for those who just can't stomach those words, 58 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.360 I don't. I want to be clear that not every problem on this 59 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.199 planet can be laid at the feet of Biden and the left. I would 60 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.240 say, I would say that when you look at you know, you know 61 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:54.839 the William F. Buckley said, the problem with capitalism, excuse me, 62 00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:00.639 the problem with socialism is socialism the ideology itself. But the problem with capitalism 63 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:06.040 are individual capitalists, meaning that there are bad apples in any bunch, so 64 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.759 to speak. So the problem with the idea of socialism, just as an 65 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.800 example, is that the ide the ideology itself is broken. It is a 66 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:24.040 broken, bankrupt worldview, broken ideology. Capitalism is the is the right way 67 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.319 of looking at it. It allows for people to operate freely. But that 68 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.959 does not mean that individual capitalists will not be will not be problematic. Of 69 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.920 course there will be. But let me tell you something else. There were 70 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:42.720 those same people if they were socialists, would also be the problem in socialism 71 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.839 in addition to the ideology itself. So, no matter how you slice it, 72 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:53.040 it's worse to have an ideology that's broken because individuals. We're not going 73 00:06:53.079 --> 00:07:00.639 to prevent every individual from trying to work the system or practice deceit or whatever. 74 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.600 We know this. This is human nature. This is the condition of 75 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.279 humanity since the fall. And so we have to look at this and say, 76 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:16.279 while certainly there are bad apples in the Republican Party, absolutely, unequivocally, 77 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.839 one hundred percent, and there are people in the Republican Party that pay 78 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:28.079 lip service to conservative principles and ideals, They pay lip service to the constitution. 79 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.439 They pay lip service in order to get campaign donations, in order to 80 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.480 get votes, in order to get volunteers, whatever. That's certainly the case. 81 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:46.839 But the difference is conservatives are embracing are promoting an ideology, even if 82 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.040 they're just paying it lip service, which I'm not defending. Don't don't misunderstand. 83 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:57.560 I'm not defending that. I'm simply saying that at least the ideology they 84 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:05.439 are promoting is rooted in truth, whereas the liberal worldview, the radical leftist 85 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.800 worldview in particular, is morally bankrupt and completely broken, and so nothing good 86 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.800 can come from that. Nothing good can come from a morally bankrupt and broken 87 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:24.040 worldview. And so while I certainly admit and acknowledge that not all problems on 88 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:30.160 planet Earth come from the radical left, I do say that they will never 89 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.360 be able to solve the problems, even if they have people of the highest 90 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:41.080 levels of integrity, because they are embracing an absolutely broken worldview, absolutely broken. 91 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.519 Of course, then that begs the question whether you can be how absolutely 92 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:54.559 moral you could be and still embrace such a morally depraved worldview. I don't 93 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.519 think that those are compatible, but that's another discussion for another day. The 94 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.000 point is not every problem can be laid at the feet of the lefe, 95 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:05.679 but certainly a lot of these problems can be, and the border is one 96 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.480 of them. And even Democrats acknowledge this. Even liberal democrats acknowledge this. 97 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:16.279 Even sitting governors of blue states acknowledge this. Mayors of liberal cities acknowledge this. 98 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:24.480 We have won the argument on border security. There is I'm not saying 99 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.840 there's nothing else to do. Actually, in some ways this is just the 100 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.279 beginning of the fight. But we have won the issue. I have written 101 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.279 about this in our column, which you can get by free email. By 102 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.960 the way, just go to tied upshow dot com and sign up there for 103 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.000 free. I've written about this, We've talked about this. This is important 104 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.960 to understand, especially if you are newer to following politics, because because whenever 105 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.519 you have all these you have all of these signs and signals that we are 106 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.480 kind of in agreement here, let's secure the border, let's stop the madness. 107 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:07.320 It's then it's at that point that some people are maybe tempted to let 108 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.759 their defenses down and think we've won the argument, which we have. But 109 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.480 now we have to say, what are we actually going to do about this 110 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.360 politically, because now you've got a factor in, I'm dealing with people, 111 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.519 I'm dealing with a massive problem. So we have to win the argument number 112 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.320 one, which which we have. We have won the argument. Now we 113 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.960 have to win the political fight. And those two things are not the same 114 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:39.879 thing. They are different things. Remember, the DC apparatus, the bureaucratic 115 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.600 state, the swamp is its own problem altogether. Yes, part of that 116 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:52.320 problem is that it embraces the worldview of the lovers of big government, up 117 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.039 to and including the radical left. But the other part is just that it's 118 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:07.279 it's it's just disgusting itself. It's repugnant, it is inefficient, it doesn't 119 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.960 know what it's doing. It's a massive, bloated mess. And so we 120 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.320 have this bill that's now made itself known. We can now actually look at 121 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.559 this bill and begin to see what these jokers and clowns in Washington, d 122 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.480 C. Have been discussing about doing their proposed solution. And so I ask 123 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.480 you this, if you knew that the piece of legislation that these jokers and 124 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.320 clowns were putting together behind the scenes, Remember, they kept this They kept 125 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.399 this hidden from the American people, They kept it hidden from one another. 126 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.279 This thing was crafted again, not in some sort of open discourse sort of 127 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.240 way. It was crafted. Remember, Republicans wanted people to sign on to 128 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.279 support it before they even had this thing hammered out. It's all about again, 129 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.480 there's so much going on here. There's special interest behind the scenes. 130 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.480 There's politicians who don't know the difference between up and down. You've got bills 131 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.759 that are of massive size that no one reads, that no one even has 132 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:18.960 the time to read. So it's one thing after another that creates this absolute 133 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.200 mess. So the people in this society, well, we've agreed that the 134 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.159 border needs to be secured, which, by the way, should go without 135 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.120 saying. But at least we have enough reasonable people in this country to say 136 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:39.120 this madness has got to stop. Even people who are on the liberal side 137 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.639 of the aisle agree with this. Now comes the solution, the so called 138 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.840 solution. Do you think it makes sense if you were to find out that 139 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.480 in that bill, in that bill, it would be allowed for up to 140 00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:01.000 not just five thousand, which was the original rumors on online, but up 141 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:09.440 to eighty five hundred illegal immigrants per day before an emergency border shut down is 142 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:15.159 issued. So in order think about this, a bill that's designed to secure 143 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.919 our border is written in such a way that the that says we will allow 144 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:26.000 up to an average of eighty five hundred illegal immigrants to cross encounters encounters along 145 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.879 that border per day before we say we completely shut it down. Well, 146 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:37.200 why are we talking about completely shutting it down as a as a consequence or 147 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.799 as I guess if more people come in, If we can do it as 148 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.679 step two, why can't we just shut it down as step one? Because 149 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.519 we are at that point. We are at the point I don't know about 150 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.960 the number specifically, but we are at the point that this is totally justifiable 151 00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:00.480 that I would say the American people are totally behind this issue of absolutely shutting 152 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.080 down the border period. Now that doesn't mean that there's no legal immigrants allowed, 153 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.159 that we stopped the legal immigration process or anything. I mean, maybe 154 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:15.840 that's a discussion because we can't take in every single person for all times in 155 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.480 this country. We've seen what it does to our cities. I mean, 156 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.399 budgets are being slashed by the way. You may have seen may not have 157 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.240 seen this. It's in the snack of stuff. The state of Washington has 158 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:33.279 apparently reportedly here given three hundred and forty million dollars of COVID relief money as 159 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.480 giveaways to illegal aliens. You try to do that, by the way, 160 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.840 you try to misappropriate something for your business and then report it to the irs, 161 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.200 especially to the magnitude of three hundred and forty dollars. Three hundred and 162 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.600 forty million dollars. But the government just shrugs their shoulders and says, eh, 163 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.440 well, you know, what do you do. It's unbelievable the mess 164 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:00.960 that we are dealing with. But I want to talk about this. I 165 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:07.360 got a SoundBite of a bit of an interview between Sharon Breem Fox News and 166 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:16.360 Senator Langford of Oklahoma, who either doesn't know what's in this bill or is 167 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.559 I mean, I don't lying to us. I don't know. I want 168 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.600 to talk about this bill because it's important to understand. We've won the argument 169 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.639 itself, but the political solution may not match that whatsoever. This is where 170 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:37.000 the games are played. The stakes are high, and the deceivers are operating 171 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.879 behind closed doors. So timeouts in order. When we get back. I 172 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.320 want to get to this. But a quick timeout needs to happen right now, 173 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:56.200 So time my friends back here in just a minute. Welcome back to 174 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:03.720 my friends talking about this bill that has been introduced introduced regarding border security, 175 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.679 which again the American people have agreed we need to secure the border. Now, 176 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.279 in some ways you might say, well, gee, with has taken 177 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.200 us a lot of time to get to that point, and I would agree. 178 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.919 But then at the same time, to have as much support for this 179 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:23.080 as there is the idea that the border is in crisis, it is a 180 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.039 mess, it needs to be fixed. That is a big step forward for 181 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:33.320 this country because we have not really been here say Trump did it. And 182 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:38.279 again I think in that sense maybe we've always had this argument, one on 183 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:45.559 our side, but to see the conditions and everything that is happening there along 184 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:52.480 the southern border and across this whole country because of illegal immigration, because of 185 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.919 catch and release, because of well just how we manage the entire thing, 186 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.639 because of the elimination of the remain in Mexico policy, whatever, all these 187 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.880 things created an unmitigated disaster to the point to where not only have we won 188 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.279 the argument, there is now political pressure, real political pressure to fix this 189 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.839 issue. So Congress gets to it. Oh yes, Congress rolls up its 190 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.880 sleeves, Congress sits down, and they want to deal with this problem. 191 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.920 So we're supposed to believe, Yeah, they're going to come along and they 192 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.720 are going to solve this problem once and for all. Remember, these are 193 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.960 the same people, the same people, I think that we can never hit 194 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.759 this point enough. The same people who tell you that they can control the 195 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.240 levels of the seas in one hundred years. The same people who tell you 196 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:47.440 that they can make sure every single person on planet Earth is paid exactly the 197 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.960 perfect amount what they are owed, and they have some chart somewhere that can 198 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.359 say, hey, this is what that particular job is worth, and we're 199 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.200 going to ensure that you get it. Of course, they can't make make 200 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.559 sure that all of their candidates when they actually have primaries, which is not 201 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.440 this year. Of course, they go through the motions. They've kicked RFK 202 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.880 Junior out. They didn't want to have to go through that process with Biden. 203 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.680 They're worried enough about Trump. They didn't want to prolong this to a 204 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.680 full year of campaigning. But anyway, when they actually had primaries, they 205 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.359 could not even make sure that their candidates all had equal time, even a 206 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.559 handful of them. But yet they tell us they can do all of these 207 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.440 grandiose things. It is absolutely patently absurd and ridiculous to believe this nonsense. 208 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.240 But here we are. Here we are, and so now they're gonna sit 209 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:40.440 down and deal with the border. Right the border. You talk about something 210 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:45.839 that should be incredibly easy to do. This is all. This all has 211 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.799 to do with political will. This all has to do with the will of 212 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.599 our politicians to do the right thing. Secure the border. My goodness, 213 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.160 this is not Look, there are things that need to be done. I'm 214 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.200 not minimizing the work. I'm simply saying, give the folks the tools, 215 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.359 send enough people down there, give them the right amount of infrastructure, whether 216 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:17.160 that be wall or technology or whatever. Right this is it's not a hard 217 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.839 concept. Keep people from just walking across. How about that? How about 218 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.200 if Texas wants to put up a barrier along the Rio Grande River that I 219 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.759 don't know, maybe you let them do that. It's just it's remarkable to 220 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:38.279 me. This is not complicated. I mean, I jokingly talk about the 221 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.000 idea that well, when I woke up this morning, the walls worked last 222 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:48.960 night. The walls worked in the home studio here held the building up, 223 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.880 kept the cool air out, kept the warm air in. When we go 224 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.799 to leave the studio, we walk through the door. We don't walk through 225 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.480 the wall. Because the walls have a purpose and the walls work. And 226 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:07.359 so that is what we have to give the folks along the border who are 227 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.960 trying to protect it, in addition to policies that actually work, not just 228 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.839 security policies, but how about also ideological concepts that we can pass on to 229 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:26.720 the countries that have been completely just wrecked by these lovers of big government, 230 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:33.759 by these corrupt politicians, by these socialists who have bankrupted their country and starved 231 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.559 their people. How about that? How about exporting the ideas that made America 232 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:45.880 great so that other countries can see greatness increase in their home country as well. 233 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:52.559 They're wherever the country. Whoever embraces these ideas should see prosperity, should 234 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.839 see opportunity, should see liberty and freedom and choice. My goodness, these 235 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.440 are good, but we don't do that. In fact, we have people 236 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.960 in the White House today who seem embarrassed about the United States of America, 237 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.119 who seem to hate the United States of America as founded, that's not going 238 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:17.319 to get it done. And so the problem, of course, just it's 239 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.079 in a way it's circular. You've got an open border, you've got no 240 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.839 policies that prevent people from coming over. You give them free giveaways once they 241 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:33.400 get here. You don't help export ideas that they can use to make their 242 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.680 own countries better, less violent, less corrupt, more free, more prosperous. 243 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.480 And I don't blame them for wanting to come here, but it is 244 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:53.359 absolutely mismanaged in ways I cannot even fully explain. So Senator James Langford, 245 00:21:53.400 --> 00:22:03.519 who is a Republican from the state of Oklahoma, on with Sharon Bream Shannon 246 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:11.279 Bream, excuse me a Fox News defending his legislation, defending this bill, 247 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:18.039 trying to tell people that there is not basically a free pass for the first 248 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.720 five thousand, which is what he talks about in this particular interview segment. 249 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.440 But the bill itself, if you read it, gives a free pass to 250 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.039 the first eight thousand, five hundred illegal immigrants to enter this country every day. 251 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.839 But I just want you to listen to this exchange. I'm going to 252 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.920 play this for a little bit here and then I'm going to take a break, 253 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.119 but I want you to hear this exchange and listen to how he's framing 254 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.440 this bill. And then I'm going to come back after we take a timeout, 255 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.119 and I'm going to talk to you about things that we have discovered that 256 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.480 are in the bill. So here we are Senator Langford on with Shannon Bream, 257 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.359 Fox News Sunday, talking about this immigration bill. Here. About a 258 00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.279 month ago, you said you were getting close. Then you say you're even 259 00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.039 closer now, So let's talk about the rumors. Give you a chance to 260 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:04.960 respond to some of the critics who say they don't like what they know of 261 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.839 this deal. There's something a kin to a Title forty two power that would 262 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:14.720 allow everyone at the border to be turned away once there was a rolling average 263 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.200 over a week of five thousand people showing up. Here's Senator Ted Cruz on 264 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.839 that idea. This bill normalizes five thousand people a day coming in. Five 265 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:30.599 thousand people a day is over one point eight million a year. That's called 266 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.240 an invasion. By the way, under Joe Biden, we've had nine point 267 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:38.759 six million. So the Great Republican Compromises, we're for two thirds of Joe 268 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.720 Biden's open borders. That's right, we'll let end six million instead of nine 269 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.599 million. This makes utterly no sense. Is that part of the deal? 270 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.960 And how would you convince someone like Senator Cruz to vote for it? Yeah? 271 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.480 The challenge that Senator Cruz has and a bunch of other folks is they're 272 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.160 so waiting to be able to read the bill on this and this has been 273 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.960 our great challenge of being able to fight through the final words, to be 274 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.079 able to get the bill text outs so people can hear it right now. 275 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.160 There's internet rumors, is all? Let me pause that real quick? Did 276 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.119 Jeready said at that time? That was last week? That was last Wednesday? 277 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.519 He said, there's no way for people to be able to read the 278 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.680 bill right now, there's just internet rumors, which let that sink in. 279 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:23.480 Remember they wanted people to voice support for a bill that was not finalized yet 280 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:29.640 there was no way for people to read it to know what was in it. 281 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.720 There were rumors. Turns out Ted Cruz is right though, which we'll 282 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.480 get to. Actually, Ted crue the numbers that Ted Cruz was given are 283 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.720 actually lower than what's in the actual bill, which we'll get to that anyway. 284 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:48.240 But that's important. They want they There's no transparency here. There is 285 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:56.119 literally zero transparency in this process. He continues, Bla're running on. It 286 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.119 would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to five thousand people day. This 287 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:06.319 bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. There's no amnesty. 288 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.680 It increases a number of border patrol agents, It increases asylum officers. 289 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:15.000 It increases detention beds so we can quickly detain and then deport individuals. It 290 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.599 ends catch and release. It focuses on additional deportation flights out. It changes 291 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:25.400 our asylum process so that people get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard, 292 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.559 and then get returned back to their home country. This is not about 293 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:32.640 letting five thousand people in a day. This is the most misunderstood section of 294 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.720 this proposal. And let me tell you briefly what it is. In the 295 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.960 last four months, we've had seven days. In four months, we've had 296 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.559 seven days that we had less than five thousand people. This is set up 297 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.039 for if you have a rush of people coming at the border, the border 298 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.079 closes down, no one gets in. This is not someone standing at the 299 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.759 border with a little clicker saying I'm going to let one more in. We're 300 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.880 at four nine hundred ninety nine, and then it has to stop. It 301 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.119 is a shutdown of the border and everyone actually gets turned around. Okay, 302 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.799 God, So why don't we do that now? If we can do that, 303 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.720 Senator Langford, if there's a seven day rolling average of five thousand people, 304 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:17.839 which interestingly you refuse to say is actually in there, but then you 305 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:19.519 explain why it is in there, I don't know. You just say that 306 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:25.759 we're too stupid. We're too stupid to understand because it wasn't in the bill 307 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:32.079 because nothing existed. We've heard internet rumors. Forgive us for not trusting you. 308 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:37.319 You folks have been asleep at the wheel for decades. Anyway, I'm 309 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.759 more to say about this. He's a Republican. So for those who say, 310 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.519 oh, you just target the Democrats, No, I don't. I 311 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:52.240 target people who look, maybe there's something a nuance here that I need to 312 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.039 make sure, we need to make sure that we understand from him. But 313 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.000 the bottom line is, this is in the bill, but the number is 314 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.640 not five thousand a day. It's eight thousand, five hundred, eight thousand, 315 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:10.319 five hundred average per day over a seven day rolling average. If we 316 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.519 eclipse that number, then there's a hard and fast shutdown. Why is it 317 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:19.000 eight thousand, five hundred? Why why people want this shutdown? Now? 318 00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:25.079 I just if it can be done, if we eclipse those numbers, it 319 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:32.960 can be done today. This is patently ridiculous and absurd. And I understand 320 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.160 we've got a Democrat run Senate. I understand we've got Biden in the White 321 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.839 House. I understand all of that. But don't tell us something's not in 322 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.119 the bill when it clearly is timeouts in order. I'll get to this on 323 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.759 the other side of the break, my friends, sit tight back here in 324 00:27:48.799 --> 00:28:07.480 just a minute. Welcome back to my friends.

So getting back here 339 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:41.319 to the issues of the day, in particular the issue along the southern border. 340 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.839 I want to I want to read for you now. This is at 341 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:52.400 RedState dot com. RedState dot com. It's in the stack of stuff. 342 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:57.680 Headline says centator Lankford doubles down denying five thousand illegals will be admitted daily no 343 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:03.920 matter what the bill says. And so if you scroll down this article and 344 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:10.319 you read this, there are some bullet points and some bullet points that Red 345 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:17.119 State is sharing, some from colleagues, some from other groups that have analyzed 346 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:18.519 the bill, and they want to tell you what's in the bill. So 347 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:23.640 I'm going to read these bullet points. Here we go. Well, that's 348 00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:30.400 not and these numbers aren't accurate because it's actually eighty five hundred I've seen. 349 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.440 I mean, there's a copy of the bill that is also posted. But 350 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.119 this says five thousand illegals per day or one point eight million per year are 351 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:42.079 allowed entry before an emergency order can be declared. Those numbers are actually low. 352 00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:48.319 Work permits will be issued to illegal aliens. The federal courts in d 353 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.160 C listen to this. By the way, the federal courts in d C 354 00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:56.640 have original and appellate authority, meaning federal courts in Texas cannot hear cases about 355 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.839 the bill. They want to make sure these are all run through the DCQ 356 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.680 are courts, which of course are all run by the left. The emergency 357 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.759 can be ignored if the President decides it isn't in our quote national interests. 358 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.319 Boy, can you imagine how that could be used? There are limits on 359 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:21.960 the number of days an emergency can be kept in place, regardless of the 360 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:29.200 number of illegals. All right. He This article also says America First Legal 361 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.799 has uncovered more things in the bill that we probably will not, Like all 362 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:40.880 families must be released from custody, only single individuals can be sent back. 363 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:48.599 Unaccompanied miners don't count against the daily total. That daily total, which I've 364 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.759 seen as eight thousand, five hundred, but other people's days, is still 365 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.400 five thousand. I think it is eight thousand, five hundred. But regardless, 366 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.920 whatever that total is, they're not counting everybody. Number three at key 367 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:06.400 all existing consent decrees in place, some of which prevent immigration laws from being 368 00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:10.880 enforced. Number four, it takes excuse me, it makes into law a 369 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:17.960 controversial rule created by Biden that lets asylum officers, not immigration judges, rule 370 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.599 on asylum claims, and it gives them a fifteen percent raise. Number five, 371 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:29.000 the Border patrol can quote opt out, excuse me, the Biden Border 372 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.640 team can opt out of the quota of any illegals that they think should be 373 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:40.200 included. So this is like, this is like how they calculate the jobs 374 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.640 reports. Go back and look at the jobs reports. They'll give you a 375 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.559 number, and I think over the I mean, it's like every month over 376 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:52.839 the past pretty significant amount of time that they revise the numbers downwards. Sometimes 377 00:32:52.920 --> 00:33:00.680 they need to cut them in half. They erroneously quote unquote erroneously doubled the 378 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.079 number of jobs created in a particular month. Same sort of thing here, 379 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.079 Just it's a numbers game. We're not gonna count you, doesn't matter. 380 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.799 And if we do count you, we're gonna say it's a national you know 381 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.839 that we don't have to do this because of a national interest. So we're 382 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.160 gonna ignore this law anyway. What is this? What is this centater like? 383 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.920 For this is ridiculous? Is what this is? Number six? The 384 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:31.559 bill sunsets in three years, and the maximum permissible number of emergency days each 385 00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:36.319 year decreases from two hundred and seventy to two hundred and twenty five to one 386 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:40.480 hundred and eighty. So even if they have created you talk about you know 387 00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.359 how they complain about loopholes. Oh, there's loopholes. These companies are taking 388 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:51.680 advantage of loopholes. These billionaires are taking advantage of loopholes, these loopholes, 389 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.920 these loopholes, these loopholes, and they blame the people who take advantage of 390 00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:00.599 the loopholes that they themselves create. It's preposterous, it is stupid, it 391 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:07.960 is nonsensical. So now think about this, Think about how many ways think 392 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.239 about how many ways, if you're the Biden administration, that you could manipulate 393 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:15.800 this to have no difference whatsoever in what you're doing along the border. You 394 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.639 can say, well, that person doesn't count. If you actually do hit 395 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.480 the ceiling for when the emergency order is declared, you could say, well, 396 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:29.079 it's not in our national interest to do so. I mean, there's 397 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.079 a limit even if there is an emergency declared along the border. There's a 398 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:37.079 maximum number of days that there can be an emergency. Why who? This 399 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:44.119 is so crazy? It's can you imagine? Can you imagine running your life 400 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.679 like this? I mean to say that there's a maxim I wish that I 401 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:55.000 could limit the number of things that could be declared an emergency or crisis in 402 00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.679 my personal life and say, wait a minute, we've reached the limit. 403 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:01.239 Can't have anymore of these by law. It's just the way that it is. 404 00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:12.840 It is complete, completely and utterly just tone deaf to reality, arbitrary 405 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.239 at best. Number seven, Here, FEMA receives one point four billion dollars 406 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:23.639 in grants to provide shelters and immigration services. The bill also appropriates thirty six 407 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:30.960 million dollars for attorneys for illegals. That's great, and number eight illegals entering 408 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:36.960 the US after July twenty first, twenty twenty one automatically get quote conditional permanent 409 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:42.840 resident status. But there's no pathway to citizenship. They were careful not to 410 00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:46.320 put that in permanent resident does not mean citizen, although at some point, 411 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.960 what does citizen even mean, because if you're an illegal alien in many places 412 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.599 you can already vote, Like, what what does it even mean to be 413 00:35:54.679 --> 00:36:02.159 a citizen? What's a conditional permanent resident? Folks, inexcusable. This is 414 00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:19.400 garbage. Quick time out back here in just a minute, welcome back to 415 00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.599 my friends. Garbage. Indeed, this bill is garbage. These folks do 416 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:27.320 not respect you. These folks think that you're stupid. These folks do not 417 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:31.159 care. They care about whatever is running the gears of Washington, d C. 418 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:36.519 They care about their campaigns, they care about their donors, they care 419 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:42.280 about their political careers and futures. They care about themselves. This is not 420 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.800 about you, This is not about the safety of this country. This is 421 00:36:47.159 --> 00:37:01.280 absolutely absolute garbage. This bill is absolute garbage, absolute garbage. And for 422 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:07.920 Republicans to be out there arguing in favor of this, they make themselves part 423 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.719 of the problem regarding immigration. I told Oz during the break, and I 424 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:17.000 don't even like to utter these words, but I am telling you right now, 425 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.320 the folks in Congress, the administration today, all the folks that are 426 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:29.519 involved in making the decisions that have created this catastrophe along our southern border, 427 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.320 which, by the way, all the clowns out there who are telling me 428 00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:37.960 the border's not in crisis, now that everybody from both parties is admitting it, 429 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:43.039 will you at least acknowledge the folly of your ways. But I am 430 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.000 telling you right now the next logical thing to think about. And I do 431 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:52.400 not take any pleasure in saying this. Let me be clear, but if 432 00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:00.280 there is a terrorist activity because someone has come across the border, or of 433 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.679 someone's have come across the border and inflicted harm upon the American people, these 434 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:12.199 politicians who have allowed this to happen, including the administration, including Congress, 435 00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.920 who does not do anything to stop this, they are all culpable, God 436 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.320 forbid, should that happen. Quick time out, my friends, back in 437 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:43.559 just a minute. All right, my friends, So the bill is garbage, 438 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.800 This has this nonsense has to be stopped. These folks in office have 439 00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:54.840 to be held accountable for creating or not at least not stopping the stuff that's 440 00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:00.519 happening in Washington, DC that creates problems for the rest of us around the 441 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:07.360 country, which includes now blue states, blue cities, governors from blue states 442 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.400 asking the president if they can help. We've got Alaska and other Alaska, 443 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:14.679 who's as far away from the southern border. I'm waiting for Hawaii to send 444 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:20.239 some troops to the southern border. This is a disaster. These folks have 445 00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.239 to fix this problem, and this is not how you do it. Of 446 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.280 course, Biden can do a lot of this on his own, which we've 447 00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:27.039 talked about. But I've got to go. Have a great day, my 448 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:27.679 friends. STG.
