removing two senior immigration enforcement officials at the White House.
The White House is demanding a sharp increase in arrests
of migrants. No illegal aliens, that's what they're demanding. They're
very clear, they keep saying it. Stephen Miller was on
with CNN and the CNN anchor asked him some question
about undocumented migrants, and he said, you're talking about illegal
aliens right right. We don't need you to corrupt the
language and clean it up or or sanitize this. Reuters.
The White House is demanding a sharp increase in arrests
of illegal aliens. What they call them is migrants in
the US illegally. They just keep trying to find different
ways to say this to virtue signal we stand with you.
No human is illegal. Right. The top us Immigration and
Customs enforcement officials Kenneth Janalo and Robert Hammer, will be
pulled from their posts, the people said, requesting anonymity. To
discuss the shift, we're going to need another leak investigation.
ICE confirmed the changes in a statement, but did not
cite White House pressure to increase arrests. Janalo, who heads
ICE's Enforcement and Removal Division, will retire. Robert Hammer, the
head of ICE's investigative arm, is going to be reassigned.
Deportations so far have legged numbers under Trump's democratic president.
That's a terribly written sentence. So under Trump, the numbers
of deportations have not been as high as under Joe Biden. Well,
why is that? Because when Joe Biden was president and
opened the gates and everybody started pouring across the border
and going in with their apps and trying to claim
asylum and all this other stuff, they would say, Okay,
we got a million people that came across the border,
and so you know, but thirty six thousand, let's say
they are not allowed in. I know you applied we're
going to turn you away. Everybody else got in but
you thirty six thousand, No, so that would be like
one thousand a day, right, Well, well thirty six hang on,
three hundred and sixty thousand, Yeah, that would be one
thousand a day. Right. So if you turn out, if
you say go home, those are quote deportations, right, And
the sheer volume of the people coming across drove the
quote deportation numbers up. They were not conducting raids. They
weren't running around the country sending people home, right. They
were doing the opposite. They were flying people around and
putting them into government taxpayer funded homes or hotel rooms.
So of course the numbers are not going to be
as high. The border has been secured, so you're not
getting as many people coming across, and now you have
to go about the investigative process to find everybody and
have them deported. That takes more time. So the lower
number to me, the lower number than Joe Biden, that's all.
It's beyond a damnable lie. It's a statistic right. Spokesperson
for the US Department of Homeland Security denied that the
officials are being pushed out of their Roles said it's
not accurate. The White House Chief Deputy or sorry, Deputy
Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News is Sean
Hannity that the White House was setting a goal for
ICE to arrest at least three thousand migrants per day.
Right now, they're at a one thousand a day quota,
so they want to triple that. And why because they
know they're on a clock. Right This administration knows it's
on a clock. It's got three and a half years,
and that's it. They have to get as much done
within three and a half years as they can because
they don't know what's going to happen with the next administration.
It could be a Democrat and they need to get
as many people out as possible now. And they also
believe that if they get as many people out, that
will redound to the benefit of the American economy. They
believe that. You could disagree with that, that's totally fine,
But I said this, I don't know. A year ago,
people complain about the housing shortage. I know a way
to free up about ten million houses, well, maybe five million.
Let's assume people are living in you know, two people
per home. Seriously, what do you think that does. What
do you think it does to the housing market When
you have ten million people come across the border in
four years, they need places to stay. What do you
think it does to a home building industry that could
barely keep up with the demand before the mass immigration. Also,
I was reading before the program this story. This is
from the Daily Caller. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement denounced
the arrest of a sixteen year old Colombian illegal migrant
on Thursday, after he had only received probation for a
hit and run that killed a twenty four year old
girl named Caitlin Weaver. This happened on May thirteenth. This
illegal alien had been granted probation after killing Caitlin Weaver
last year in Aurora, Aurora, Colorado. This guy, this maniac,
was driving ninety miles an hour in a forty five
mile an hour zone and t boned vehicle. This maniac
had young children in the car with him. They all lived.
She died. She died. I gave you the details of
this story a few weeks ago when this guy got
the probation. According to ice quote, US Immigration and Customs
Enforcement arrested a sixteen year old criminal alien from Columbia.
The miner who was convicted of reckless driving resulting in
death was arrested along with his family, who are also
illegal aliens, so they took the whole family. This guy
was convicted in Colorado's eighteenth Judicial District and was sentenced
to probation and community service. And ICE read that news article.
ICE looked at the database and said, oh, he's a
convict eight he's sixteen years old. He's convicted just so
happens that the judge or the DA rather gave him
this sweetheart deal. As part of its routine operations, ICE
arrests aliens who commit crimes and other individuals who have
violated our nation's immigration laws. All aliens in violation of
US immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention, and,
if found removable by final order, removal from the United States,
regardless of nationality. The victim's father, John Weaver, said that
the prosecutor had promised him in the family that they
would pursue the maximum sentence against the illegal alien team
two years in youth corrections. That was the max that
he could get because he's only sixteen, he's a child.
But months later after that promise was made Amy Padden
stepped in as the Arapahoe County's new district attorney, with
the team later being offered two years probation if he
pleaded guilty, and so he did, and now you're deported
along with your entire family, as you should be. And
if he had never been in the country in the
first place, Caitlyn Weaver would still be alive. But you
don't hear Caitlyn Weaver's story, right, Nobody's nobody's going and
making her sort of the cause celeb for immigration policy.
Nobody's doing that on the left or in the media
to the extent it breaks through. It's because Marjorie Taylor Green,
you know, screams at the President during a State of
the Union speech about Lake and Riley, and then of
course the president h Lincoln Riley. Oh my gosh. Right,
that's the closest we can expect. Here's a great idea.
How about making an escape to a really special and
secluded getaway in western North Carolina? Just a quick drive
up the mountain and cabins of Asheville is your connection.

courts are quietly tossing out the cases of Alien Enemies
Act deportees. The reporter is David Noriega, not the leader
or former leader of Panama. Is he back in charge?
Isn't Noriega back in charge in Panama? Anyway? Before he
was sent to an infamous supermax prison, whoa, whoa, woe woe.
It's notorious, not infamous, it's notorious. I thought the AP
stylebook was very clear on that you're always to refer
to the Al Salvador prison as notorious. I don't know
where you get off making this kind of editorial decision
to use the word infamous, super whatever. But they were
sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. Right before he
was sent there, Andre Hernandez Romero was waiting for an
immigration judge to decide whether he would be granted asylum
in the United States, and even after his deportation, Hernandez's
lawyers fought to keep his asylum claim open as a
way of ensuring he didn't disappear from the American legal system,
But an immigration judge in San Diego dismissed Hernandez's asylum
claim on Tuesday, one of at least fourteen such dismissals
in recent weeks, weeks fourteen over the course of weeks,
so that's like he was infinite seven eight nine. Cook
care of the two. That's like a little more than
one a day. That's what you're getting through one a day.
That as immigration attorneys concerned that the dismissals are the
Trump administration's latest tactic in evading due process to ensure
those sent away have no means to return. How do
you write that a person got no due process when
you start off that paragraph by saying an immigration judge
in San Diego dismissed the claim. That's due process. I
don't know why there is this debate about especially in
a case like this. You may not like the due process.
This has been the process. Though. Hernandez is the lead
plaintiff in a high profile lawsuit brought by the ACLU
against the Trump administration on behalf of the hundreds of
Venezuelans deported to a Salvadoran mega prison Notorious. Come on NBC,
It's notorious. Hundreds of Evenezuelands deported to a salvador In
megaprison under the Alien Enemies Act. That case has been
the centerpiece of a legal saga surrounding the deportations, one
that some legal analysts say has brought the US to
the brink of a constitutional crisis, right because when you
open the border and let millions of people in with
blanket amnesty, basically you can't get rid of them unless
you do it one at a time. Otherwise that's the
constitutional crisis. The constitutional crisis did not occur when the
president refused to enforce the law, when the Department of
Homeland Security secretary of Lejandro mayork Is, when that buffoon
gave everybody blanket parole status. Right, No, no, no, that
was all fine. That's all fine. Trying to fix the
mess up, trying to fix the corruption. That's the crisis.
Hernandez and I wondered what happened to this guy, because
I thought, why are you guys going with the MS
thirteen dude, the Maryland man when he was obviously not
a good poster child for your efforts. And I had
heard about the gay man who worked as a makeup
artist for a state TV station in Venezuela. Dude literally
worked for state TV. Okay, but he told lawmakers that
he had suffered persecution for his sexual orientation and his
opposition to the government. So he didn't like the Maduro government.
That's why he worked for State TV, because that's where
you go when you hate the government, you go to
work for the government TV. Right, So, that alleged persecution
formed the basis of his asylum claim, which he pursued
for months from inside a detention center in San Diego
or San Diago, if that is your preferred pronunciation. But
that process was abruptly cut short March fifteenth, when Donald
Trump and invoked special wartime powers to deport two hundred and
sixty eight Venezuelan Mentel Salvador without court hearings and without
notifying their attorneys. A majority of them, like Hernandez, had
pending cases in immigration court. In the weeks after the
sudden deportations, immigration lawyers around the country scrambled to attend
hearings to make sure their cases were not thrown out.
At first, immigration judges were willing to extend the cases
while more information emerged about the removals to El Salvador,
But according to attorneys involved in the cases, more immigration judges,
including those in California and Texas, have been granting the
government's requests to dismiss the cases. In the last two
to three weeks. These are the fourteen cases. So the
government has come in made arguments saying we want these,
we want these dismissed. We are requesting these the cases
be dismissed, and the judges have been granting those. So
why is that a constitutional crisis? The judge is hearing
the request and the judge makes his ruling. The immigration
judge who dismissed Hernandez his claim asylum claim did allow
for the possibility that the case can be reopened if
Hernandez returns to the US. Okay, I mean is he
here illegally? Yes, he applied for asylum. Yes. Oh, by
the way, there is a development on that front. Hang
on a second, let me pull up my book marks
here do dut dude? From Josh Gersten gurstin senior legal
affairs reporter at Politico. Supreme Court gives Trump administration the
okay to move towards deporting about five hundred thousand Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan,
and Venezuelans in the US on that are here thanks
to the Biden era immigration quote parole program, parole program.
I have the ruling? Well sounded really a ruling? There
was it? Was a seven to decision. They were and
to the descent is from Katanji, Brown, Jackson and Son,
and they said that the court has plainly botched this assessment.
That I meanwhile, Kagan, another liberal, she's with the Republican
majority on this. So whatever it requires next to nothing
from the government with respect to irreparable harm. It undervalues
the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously apend
the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million non
citizen people. And she then goes on to say that
under the CHNV program, which is what we're talking about here,
the Cuba, was it, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Venezuela's HNV program,
individuals from these conflict written countries receive quote parole status
for up to two years, which allows them to live
in the United States and in some cases work here lawfully.
Parole is discretionary by statute. DHS awards parole status through
a competitive and detailed application process that involves a rigorous,
individualized assessment of the applicant circumstances. That is false. That
is absolutely false. This is what Majorcis got impeached over.
That is a lie. He gave blanket parole status. He
did not review every single one of these cases. This
is not accurate. And this is what KBJ and SS does.
She go by sa I come only KBJ gutsitt. Do
you have to have three letters for a name like that?
So to my arm, this is what they're arguing. So
you have to do it on a case by case
basis to send them out. That's what they're arguing.
Speaker 2: All right.

So the President wrote an executive Okay, he signed an
Executive Order fourteen two eight seven. It was called protecting
American Communities from Criminal Aliens, and it requires that a
list of states and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement
of federal immigration laws, aka sanctuary jurisdictions, that a list
would be compiled and published. We have a list sanctuary jurisdictions,
including cities, counties, and states that are deliberately and shamefully
obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws and dangering American communities.
Sanctuary cities protecting dangerous criminal aliens from facing consequences and
put law enforcement in peril. I'm reading from the DHS
dot gov website. The list was created to identify sanctuary jurisdictions,
which are determined by factors like compliance with federal law
enforcement information restrictions and legal protections for illegal aliens. Each
jurisdiction listed will receive formal notification of its non compliance
with federal statutes. DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review
and revise their policies to align with federal immigration laws
and renew their obligation to protect American citizens not dangerous
illegal aliens. All right, so who made the list? Let
me start with South Carolina. South Carolina. Nobody, actually, no jurisdiction,
none on the list in South Carolina. Okay, so good
for you, South Carolina. You're in the clear. Tom Holman
will not be visiting you. North Carolina. We have a
couple more than zero, but not many. Bunkham County, Chatham County,
Durham County, Orange County, Watoga County. These are all sheriffs,
by the way, that's what's going on here. These are
all the sheriffs of these counties, but not Mecklenburg. Mecklenburg
is not on this list. What are these other counties
doing that Gary McFadden is failing to do to become
a full blown listed sanctuary city or county, Like, what
is the difference because they've all these sheriffs are all
behaving the same way. They're all doing the same stuff.
So are they just better at doing it or something
I'm unclear unclear. Then there's this The Defense Intelligence Agency
had an employee had They are no longer an employee.
They have been fired. A twenty eight year old Defense
Intelligence Agency employee got arrested for allegedly attempting to transmit
national defense information to an officer or agent of a
foreign government. Nathan vilas Lash arrested in Northern Virginia following
an investigation launched after a tip that somebody had offered
to provide classified information to a friendly foreign to a
friendly foreign government. A friendly one, so not an enemy
but a friendly one, but a foreign government. Nonetheless, they
were employed by the DIA since twenty nineteen, working in
its Insider Threat Division. Well if you couldn't see that coming, right, Wow,
talk about an insider threat. Dude held top secret security clearance.
Back in March, the FBI received a tip about a
potential threat and discovered an email in which the sender
said that he did not quote agree or align with
the values of this administration and was quote willing to
share classified information, including completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence,
and other assorted classified documentation. Lash unknowingly then began communicating
with and undercover FBI agent, believing that they were anofficial
of that foreign government. He allegedly transcribed classified information onto
a notepad at his desk and then over the course
of about three days would xfiltrate the information from his workspace.
By May, he was surveiled the FBI had a drop
location handing off a thumb drive containing classified information. So
he'd write it down on a pad. He would he
would stuff it in his socks like Sandy Burglar did,
and he would he would leave work and you'd go home.
He would type the stuff up, put it on a
thumb drive, took it to the drop and that's that
contained information that was portion marked up to the secret
or top secret levels, demonstrate demonstrating the range of types
of products to which he had access. So he was
trying to prove to them like I can get my
hands on the stuff, I have eyes on this stuff.
You want to be my friend. He gathered more classified
information between May fifteenth and May twenty seventh, telling the
undercover agent that he would consider citizenship for your country
or quote other compensation. And then he was set to
deliver that second batch of materials Thursday, and they busted
him all because he hates Donald Trump. At least he
was giving it to a friendly country, which, by the way,
if it was a friendly foreign government, why didn't you
think that they would tell their American counterparts. Hey, guys,
you have a spy. He came to us offering to
give us info. It's not very good info. We already
have all of this stuff because we eavesdrop on you.
But like, just to heads up, he may go to
some other person or country that you may not be
able to contain. So I just not I just don't
feel like that's good spycraft, you know, like you're doing
a drop. Well, hang on, it says a friendly country.
Could that be Ukraine? I don't know, Like what is
friendly here? Didn't say allied country, just at a friendly country.
But they're not telling us who it is. So many questions.
All right, if you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,

three to six, Yes, three to six on WBT not
three to seven any longer, right, he has. He has
been reduced to a mere three hour show. After how
long were you doing the four hours? It's like, uh,
it was over a year, right.
Speaker 2: Eighteen months something, yeah, eighteen nineteen months. Okay, but I'm distilled.
See it's this is still you're now that's my height.
Speaker 1: This is distill. This is the pure essence, very the
pure essence of the winnable show. Now, that's right. I
told him right before we started here that it's like
it's like he got the cast removed. Yes, and so
now he's going to be able to run really really fast,
wicked fast, talking really fast. Bam bam, bam bam.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, we're actually doing two shows at once, like
I'm doing my show and then I'm doing my other show.
Just to get it all in so that they get
what's your other show? They get the four hours. No,
I'm just saying it's.
Speaker 1: The other hour, right, just layering it right on top.
Speaker 2: Right, it's not a mono feed.
Speaker 1: Are you doing like double channel? Yeah, so like one
show is going in the right ear and then his
fourth hour is going on. Well, I want I want
to be clear.
Speaker 2: I am not really doing that, because other people are
going to be going like, what the heck is he
talking about. It's a joke.
Speaker 1: We're all in Mono and it's a j okay joke,
right exactly. So, sir, I asked you this also because
we were talking a little bit about Ronald Reagan during
the break, as we are known to do, and I asked,
have you ever had have you ever had any kind
of a letter or a communicate from a president?
Speaker 2: I have not had a communicate from.
Speaker 1: A president, even like a boilerplate one. No, have you
ever written to a I guess that's the first question.
Have you ever written to a president? I mean that's
usually he gets what it gets you the letter back.
Speaker 2: I never, I never have. However, however, Yeah, random fact.
I once shook Bill Clinton's hand in Boston, why he
was campaigning, and it was, you know, Angus and all
these guys were before he won the first time, before
he got any anywhere near it, and I was like, oh, it's.
Speaker 1: A governor of Arkansas.
Speaker 2: I shook his hand.
Speaker 1: Why is he in Boston? Is that part of the
media market for New Hampshire. Yeah, the media market.
Speaker 2: It was the whole thing with that, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Was gonna say, because nobody pays attention to Taxachusetts.
Speaker 2: Well back in the day, this is this is like
nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: Four, right, so there you go. Probably they had more
McDonald's per capita in Boston as well. Oh no, Arkansas
had way more no than New Hampshire, Nampshire, Namshire, Nampshire. Yeah,
that's yeah. So he probably had to just make a quick,
you know, detour down to Boston way, hit a couple
of fast food joints.
Speaker 2: Hitting a couple of fast food joints.
Speaker 1: That's what he could do. That's a good euphemism. Boom.
That's uh no, that's that was the thing about him,
Like SNL did the big right, did the big skit
on him? You never saw that one? Yes, I did.
So the reason I asked was I actually, I mean
it was it was my class, my first grade class.
We got a letter back, a thank you letter from
Ronald Reagan. Wow, that's pretty awesome. Do you still have it? No,
because it went to the class.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's the class.
Speaker 1: So when Reagan got shot, the teacher had us tell
me this would happen nowadays, right, please Reagan gets shot? Yeah, Well,
if it was a Democrat, president. It probably won't happen.
But Reagan gets shot, and so this is eighty one, right, yeah, yeah,
eighty one right, So people were still kind of about him.
It wasn't like eighty four landslide. Everybody loves him at
that point, right. So he gets in there, though, and
he gets the assassination attempt, and she has us right
letter get well letters, and you know the old school
big pieces of paper. It have like the oh, the
lines on the boat, the line so you can practice
your lower case and upper case lines. And then the
top was just a big empty field where you could
draw pictures about what you're writing about.
Speaker 2: Oh, don't even tell me.
Speaker 1: So I well, I had heard that he likes jokes.
I don't know where I heard this from, probably my dad.
I heard he liked jokes. So I had heard a
couple of jokes and about pickles, and so I included
a bunch of jokes to help him. You know, that's
in good spirits. And when he wrote the letter back
to the class, he said, I especially enjoyed the pickle jokes.
Are you serious? That awesome? That's as close as I
ever got. Wow to a person. That is cool, And
it has sustained me low these fifty years.
Speaker 2: Who has the who has you should go try to
find that letter?
Speaker 1: She's dead. The teacher, she couldn't keep secrets. Probably no,
she was. She was you know old.
Speaker 2: Don't you think back like when you were a kid
and all the teachers are like way older.
Speaker 1: She's probably only like thirty five forties, right.
Speaker 2: But you're always like, wow, man, I was like a
really old lady, right, and you're like, no, no, she taught.
Speaker 1: For another forty years. What you talking about, Zackly? Yeah, anyway,
so I saw this clip come down. We still have
the audio. Oh no, I don't have time. Maybe we
could talk about it when I do The Hangover with
