Trump Becomes the Very Thing He Swore to Destroy. And It Might Cost Us Our Country.
It's an interesting and revealing. experience to talk to Trump voters right. now. They're having a lot of conflicting. thoughts. Now, most people who voted for. Donald Trump in 2024. did so not because they were more. popular with their neighbors, but. because they felt that Donald Trump was. the last chance this country had to make. fundamental changes it needed to make to. avert obvious disasters looming on the. horizon. And so because people who voted.
for Trump did so against the considered. advice of every news organization in the. United States basically and all educated. fashionable people, they kind of went out on a limb to vote. for this guy. There is a natural. hesitance to concede that things aren't. working as planned. So if you talk to. them, they will almost all concede, almost all concede that a regime change. war with Iran was kind of not part of. the plan. Very few people voted for.
Trump hoping that, you know, the Iran. nuclear program that didn't actually. exist in any meaningful way would be the. central focus of the administration like. that. Nobody thought that who voted for. Trump two years ago. And some of them. will tell you, "No, it's actually very. important that we ended that or. continued to fight Iran for whatever. reason. Those of the Fox News viewers. are almost all over 70." But for most. Trump voters, it's an obvious betrayal. Like, obviously, of course, we didn't. want that. Of course, you promised you. wouldn't do it. You did it. So, they'll.
tell you that. But that's not the same. as regretting their vote for Trump. Because most people who voted for Trump, who I should say are some of the best. people in the country, whatever you. think of Trump, it's sort of this weird. situation where the best people in the. country elected one of the worst people. in the country or another way to put it, the people who care most about the. United States, who were the most vested. in the system, who believed most. fervently in say the Constitution. somehow elected a guy who doesn't care. at all about any of that. So, how did.
that happen? Well, only historians. probably will unravel that mystery. But. in the meantime, most people who voted. for Trump that we've talked to anyway. are not at the point where they're. rejecting Trump. They don't want to. reject Trump. They vested so much in the. guy that it's too hard to concede that, wow, that was a mistake. And of course, most of them wouldn't vote for Kla. Harris under any circumstances. So, it's. not like they had someone else to vote. for. But if you press them a little bit, they say, look, yeah, of course, this is. not going as planned at all. And they'll.
tell you what a lot of them said in his. first term from 2016 to 2020. They'll. say, you know, he's a good guy, but he's. surrounded somehow by bad people who. don't share the same vision, who are not. America first, who are in it for. themselves or in it for a foreign. country or whatever. They've sold Trump. out. But Trump either can't get a handle. on the federal bureaucracy or he just. doesn't know. He doesn't know that. they're doing this. You know, if only. Trump knew. And then if you press them still more,
they will say, "Yeah, well look, it's, you know, it's not great in a lot of. ways, but. immigration, he sealed the border. He kept his. promises on immigration." And that's not. a small thing because Trump's position. on immigration is the core of the Trump. movement and has been since 2015 when he. first emerged as a candidate. Not a. credible candidate. He was still kind of. a joke to a lot of people in Washington, New York, and LA. But he soon became a force in the.
Republican party and then pretty swiftly. took over the Republican party because. of his position on immigration. really for two reasons. One, it was a. lot more popular than anyone in New. York, Los Angeles or Washington had any. idea, just didn't know. that there was a whole world out there. that disagreed with him vehemently on. the question of immigration. And not. just illegal immigration but immigration. broadly like who should live here? Do we. have too many people here, too few.
people here? Most people fear there feel there are. too many already. It's becoming a. crowded country and most Americans are. not for that. Why would they be for. that? And they felt this way even 10. years ago. And so Trump's position on. that is the thing, the single thing that. vaulted him from failed casino magnet to. presidential nominee. it was immigration. and his willingness and this is the. second part of the equation to basically. give the finger not simply to the.
establishment but to the Republican. establishment. Trump was never an. orthodox Republican. That's not a knock. against him. That's the whole reason. that so many Republican voters supported. him because they were dissatisfied with. their own party. They'd voted for these. guys since Reagan, at least since 1980. And what had they gotten? Not a better. country, but a weaker, poorer country. their party had betrayed them and they. knew that whether they admitted it in. public or not. So Trump's willingness to.
break with the Republican party on the. question of immigration, which was a. core Republican orthodoxy, it was Ronald. Reagan, of course, who signed the. amnesty of 1986, totally changing the. composition of the state of California, his state, and others. And so from 1986 to 2016, that was the. Republican position. Yeah, we have. problems with illegal immigration, but. immigration is great. It's the basis of. our country. It's engraved on the bottom. of the Statue of Liberty. Give us your. tired and poor and people yearning to be.
free, etc. That's the guy who does my. lawn. Only Trump. could change that. Or more to the point, only Trump did change that. And so in. case you've forgotten, here is the last. 10 years. encapsulated in four or five sound bites. of Donald Trump on immigration. Now the. first clip you're about to see is. exactly 10 years old. It was August. 31st, 2016. Exactly 10 years ago. Here's.
Donald Trump. The fundamental problem. with the immigration system in our. country is that it serves the needs of. wealthy donors, political activists, and. powerful powerful politicians. It's all. you can do. Let me tell you who it does. not serve. It does not serve you, the. American people. Doesn't serve you.
Under my administration, anyone who illegally crosses the border. will be detained until they are removed. out of our country and back to the. country from which they came. Anyone who. has entered the United States illegally. is subject to deportation. That is what it means to have laws and. to have a country. Otherwise, we don't. have a country. Day one, MY FIRST HOUR.
IN OFFICE, THOSE PEOPLE are gone. And you can call it deported if you. want. The press doesn't like that term. You can call it whatever the hell you. want. They're gone. >> You know, it's worth lingering over. those words. And you wonder who wrote.
that. Sounds like a Steven Miller. speech. Much hate towards Steven Miller, the old Steven Miller for writing things. like that. We're just guessing. But but. let's just consider these words. The. fundamental problem with the immigration. system in our country is that it serves. the needs of wealthy donors, political. activists, and powerful politicians. Let. me tell you who it does not serve. It. does not serve the American people. It. doesn't serve you. So how is that not. true? Everything about that paragraph is. true. The immigration system was not.
designed to benefit the public. And if. it was, tell me how it's worked. There's. no net economic benefit to the way the. United States has done immigration over. the last 25 years. And if there is, what. was it? How could a country that transitions. from manufacturing to a knowledge. economy and now to high-tech to an. economy that doesn't even really need. labor, that's the promise of AI, how. does it need 100 million new low-skilled. workers who don't speak English. Tell me.
what need that serves. Tell me how the. United States benefits from that. ordinary people. Of course, there's no. sense in which the public benefits from. that. And you know that that's true. because the people who designed that. system and have defended that system. haven't actually defended it. They've. merely attacked anyone who questions. that system. You're a racist. You just. don't like them because they're not. white. Meanwhile, often in the same. speech, they will say immigration is.
turning America non-white. And that's. great. And anyone who notices that is a. believer in the great replacement. conspiracy theory, which is. anti-semitic. Huh. It's not an argument in favor of. immigration. It's a control tactic. designed to crush opposition to a. program that on its face hurts the. majority of the country and is certainly. being enacted against the will of the. majority of the country. And so way back. 10 years ago in August of 2016, Trump.
said that out loud. And that may be more. than anything. perhaps his opposition to the Iraq war. retroactively. But let's just say probably more than. anything his critique of the American. immigration system and particularly his. point his true impossible to refute. point that it serves only the people who. designed it and not the public. That's. why they opposed him.
And that itself is revealing because in. fact Trump is making a kind of. traditionally left-wing critique, a pro-. labor critique. In fact, he's making a. species of exactly the same argument. that organized labor made throughout the. teens and 20s. And that's why after the. first world war in about 1924, at the. behest of the labor unions, the United. States essentially shut down immigration. into the country to keep the labor. market tight, to keep wages up for the. working and middle class. And that's one.
of the main reasons that this country. from then until 2015 under Barack Obama. had a majority in the middle class. That. is no longer true. And the primary. reason it's no longer true is because. the labor markets were watered down by. more people. It's a supply and demand. question. More willing workers, lower. wages. And then the secondary effect, which is the total destruction of the. native workforce. People born in this.
country, raised with a certain. expectation of standard of living, drop. out of the workforce entirely. They give. up. And that has happened and it's. measurable. In fact, it's one of the. defining facts the moment we're living. in, though it's almost never noted. People born in this country, people who. had conceivably relatives who fought in. the Civil War. are dropping out of the workforce in. record numbers. That's one of the. reasons we still have a tight labor. market. It's one of the reasons it's. hard to find help because people born. here are not working and they're.
certainly not working at the lower end. of the scale. So everything about Trump's critique was. not just right, it was spoton. And he. rode that critique to victory in 2016. along with a couple of very specific. promises. And you heard a couple of them. right there. And we'll add another. That. is build a wall. The 2016 campaign could. be boiled down to one slogan, build a. wall. Well, of course, Trump didn't. build a wall. Didn't even make really a.
good faith effort to build a wall. and. his supporters and defenders. mostly ignored that, me included, because most of them felt he probably. wanted to. It's just hard and he got. distracted and there was Russia gate. Most people who voted for Trump all. three times and even the last time. believed, in fact, I've never met anyone. who voted for Trump who didn't believe.
that he really did understand that mass. migration is terrible for the United. States as it has been terrible for. Europe, as it was terrible for Central. Asia under the Mongols. It's always. terrible. It's too much change too fast, and it destroys the pre-existing culture. every single time. So, we know that that's not racism. That's nature. And Trump knew that and he said it. And. most people, people who hated him and.
loved him, thought he meant it as he. said it. Why did they think that? Because he kept saying it. This is one. feature of Trump's program that remained. consistent from 2015 all the way up. until election night 2024. Here is Trump. that year, that campaign on stage with. Kla Harris in the now famous moment. where he accused the Haitians of the. Midwest of eating the dogs and cats. Watch what they have done to our country. by allowing these millions and millions.
of people to come into our country and. look at what's happening to the towns. all over the United States. And a lot of. towns don't want to talk. It's not going. to be Aurora or Springfield. A lot of. towns don't want to talk about it. because they're so embarrassed by it. In. Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating. the cats. They're eating They're eating. the pets of the people that live there. Really one of the great moments in. political history. And of course, it.
worked on a couple of different levels. On a political level, this is what the. kids call trolling. Trump says something. knowing it will provoke outrage, blind. outrage. In fact, blind rage. And that. every liberal on social media will be. spouting, just fuming, sputtering, spitting, huffing, and that that anger will provoke them, his opponents, to take positions that. are totally out of line with where the.
rest of the public is. In other words, by making them mad, he makes them more. extreme. And that extremism sinks their. ship in the end. It's smart. It may be. corrosive. It may be damaging long term, but as a political tactic, that works. And no one did it better. No one does it. better to this day than Donald Trump. So. on that level, it was a success. But on. a deeper level, it worked because. there's a lot of truth in that. Were the. Haitians eating the dogs and cats in. Springfield? I don't know. They.
certainly could have been. Has mass. migration, third world mass migration. made small towns in America better? Only. people who've never been to those towns. could claim it has. Anyone who's. actually been to those towns or lives in. one or gotten in a car and driven. through lightly populated parts of the. country in the last 15 years, what does. it look like? It looks awful. It's dying. And the. solution in state after state and town. after town, city after city, beginning. with Chicago, long our second biggest.
city, now our third, but in all kinds of. cities has been t the tax base is gone. You've got a lot of empty apartments. We're going to fill them up with. immigrants. And they've done that. And the effect. has been devastating to the country. It's not an attack on those immigrants. Most of them are looking for a better. life whether or not they care about the. United States. In many cases, they. don't. Many of them don't even seek. citizenship. They don't care. They're. here to make money for their families.
back home. That doesn't make them evil. Most of them aren't evil. Some of them. are criminals, but most of them aren't. In fact, a lot of them are very hard. workers. So, it's not an attack on them. to say that it has been utterly. devastating to the communities in which. they've moved or been moved because. everything changes instantly. And what. does that mean for the people who live. in those communities, who grew up there, who had no role at all in this policy, who wouldn't sign off on it if they'd.
had the chance, but of course were never. given the chance. They weren't even. asked. It happened to them. people who. live far away, who have more power than. they do, impose this on them for reasons. that nothing to do with their well-being. or thriving. It was a kind of punishment imposed from. afar. That's how they experience it. because that's what it is. And they're resentful about that. That. doesn't make them racist. Most of them. aren't racist, whatever that means. By. the way, the people throwing around the. term racist never define it. But they're.
not bad people. They're not evil. They. don't hate others because of their skin. color. or they just don't want their. neighborhood to change overnight and. become a foreign experience. Who would. want that? And by the way, the people. making these decisions never impose. these decisions on their own. neighborhoods. And if you don't believe. it, drive through their neighborhoods. Look up the 15 richest zip codes in the. United States. And they're also the most. stable zip codes because they are not. subjected to mass migration. So that. kind of tells you the whole story right.
there. Martha's Vineyard looks a lot. like it did 50 years ago. So does. Nantucket. So does Brooklyn, Massachusetts. So does Aspen. If it's so. great, then why don't they have. 10,000 Haitians living in Martha's. Vineyard? Because it's not great. That's why it's. not an attack on the Haitians. It's the nature of mass migration. taking people from a completely. different culture with no education, limited skills, and no money, and. dropping them into what was formerly a.
pretty prosperous, stable community. Who benefits? Not the formerly pro. prosperous community. If you think. that's racist, then go away because. that's absurd. It's not. It's real. And. Trump made that point. He was brave. enough to do that. And God bless him for. doing it. So because he said that and. many things like that, normal people who don't just dismiss all. challenges to their worldview as racism. or anti-semitism, but try to critically. assess what others are saying,
those people said to themselves, you. know, there he's on to something here. Like, what are we doing to Springfield, Ohio? Why aren't we doing that to. Bethesda, Maryland? Well, we're not doing it to Bethesda, Maryland because Bethesda, Maryland is. rich and members of Congress live there. Why? In Springfield, Ohio, where is. that? Who cares? That's like. post-industrial hell. We can do whatever. we want to them. And if we want to. construct artificially a new voting base. in the middle of Ohio, if we want to. change it from red to blue or whatever.
our plan is, we just want to weaken. America and divide it so it can't oppose. us collectively, which may be part of. the plan. But whatever our aim is, we. can do it in Springfield, Ohio, because. who's gonna stop us? They don't have a. lobby in DC. Mary Mason doesn't care. what happens in Springfield, Ohio. So that's what happened and everybody. knows that and let's stop lying about. it. And Trump was one of the only people. not to lie about it. And of course he. expressed it in artfully kind of. way, but it doesn't make it. less true.
So it was on the basis of that. and his opposition to foreign wars that. got him elected in 2024. So what happened then? Well, a lot happened then. On the other. hand, not much happened then, as you're. about to learn as we talked to the. recently departed head of Border Patrol, Greg Bevino, who spent 30 years in the Border Patrol. and was hired early on to get our.
immigration system under control. One of the things that happened is that. there was turnover in who ran our. immigration system. Now, it's mostly run. uh from Washington, of course, and ICE. and the Border Patrol are the two main. instruments. Take a look at the new head of the. entire immigration enforcement. operation. This is a former senator from.
Oklahoma called Mark Wayne Mullen, and. he's taken over in the last year. This. is the guy Trump hired to deport over a. 100 million illegals. Watch this. >> We have naturalization ceremonies every. single day in the United States that. we're in that is, you know, federal. government's open. We have hundreds of. thousands of people, in fact, over we're. real close to 900,000 individuals that.
have been naturalized in the last 12. months. There's a legal system to go. through. >> Wait a second. This is the guy who runs. Department of Homeland Security, Mark. Wayne Mullen, who was hired by Trump to. deport all these illegals who came into. the country over the last 20 years, but. particularly over the four years under. Joe Biden. 50 million they told us. And. here he is this month, that was August. 4th of this month, sitting before the.
National Governor's Association, bragging about how many of these people. have become citizens, almost a million, 900,000. What was that? The promise? Did. Trump run less than two years ago on the. promise to give citizenship to people. who came here illegally? Wasn't it the. opposite of that? And if it was the opposite of that, why. did he hire one of the most liberal. Republicans in the Senate, one of the. most pro-illegal immigration Republicans. in the entire Senate, and that's saying. a lot, Mark Wayne Mullen, to run.
deportation. This is starting to feel like a. betrayal. Oh, but it gets worse. Here's what Mark. Wayne Mullen went on to say to the. governors on August 4th of this year. >> I'm what I'm saying is, let me work with. you on this stuff. I'm not handling things like maybe the. past uh uh secretary had. I'm just. saying let's work to get the worst of. the worst off the streets and then you. won't see me in your cities and states.
like you do as much because of my. presence won't be as big. In fact, you. probably won't even see this at all. Oh, we're going to stop enforcing. immigration law. We're going to go after. the worst of the worst, the criminals, who, by the way, presumably could be. rounded up by local or state law. enforcement. Isn't that their job? This. is the head of federal immigration. enforcement. The guy whose job was literally paid to. enforce immigration law, laws that were.
passed by the Congress. These aren't. regulations that came out of the. agencies. These are laws passed by the. democratic process. In other words, you. vote for someone so he can make a law. that reflects your views and your. values. That's what democracy is. And he. does. And then this guy is hired to make. sure those laws are enforced. And here. he is telling the 50 governors that. actually I'm not going to enforce those. laws. Now, if he worked for Joe Biden, this would be a scandal. It' be on every. Fox News show all day long. Here's the.
head of the Department of Homeland. Security saying he's not going to. enforce immigration law. Oh my gosh, they're open borders people, which they. were. This is Trump's guy, Mark Wayne. Mullen, making the same claim. And so the point is really simple. The true betrayal of the second Trump. term may not be foreign policy. That's the most damaging thing Trump or. any American president has ever done. Beginning a fruitless war with Iran and.
thereby destroying. our empire and probably our dollar. But in terms of a political betrayal, what Trump has not done in immigration. is more profound because there's you. probably won't find a single Trump voter. who disagreed with Trump's views on. immigration. And once again, this is why. Trump was able to move from the private. sector as a branding guy to the White. House as an American president was on.
the basis of his promises on. immigration. So for him to betray those. promises is profound. And it's. understandable that most people who. voted for him can't metabolize this, don't want to deal with it, want to. believe we've sealed the border and. everything's fine. But at a certain. point, it's important to know exactly. where we are. Not just speculate about it or cite some. study from Yale on what's the state of. illegal immigration in the United. States, but talk to the guy who ran it, Greg Bevino, who ran Border Patrol, who.
has the actual numbers on this question. How many illegal aliens are in the. United States? These are people who are. foreign nationals who are living here. illegally, who have broken the law to. get here and are breaking the law in. every single case every single day by. using fake documents to work and collect. benefits and send their kids to public. school and to use the emergency room at. public expense, etc., etc., etc. And these are not minor laws. These are. core laws that if you broke, you would.
be punished for breaking. So, how many of those are there? How. many were in this country the day Trump. was inaugurated, January 20th, 2025? And. how many are here now? What are the real. numbers? No one has. pointed this out. Democrats have no incentive to point it. out. Of course, ICE shot a couple. protesters last year and so the emphasis. has been on that. They're murderous.
thugs. Okay, we can debate that. Obviously, shooting unarmed people is. bad. Never defend it. But that's not the whole story. The. whole story is that immigration. enforcement in the United States has. stopped has stopped. And this fact, which is a central fact, which will define what our country is. like going forward or even if it exists. as a coherent country, is being. completely ignored. Home ownership has. always been at the center of the. American dream. It is an actual asset, a.
place people work their entire lives to. build, a place of stability and security. and real value. Right now though, too. many homeowners are stuck swiping credit. cards to cover groceries. There's. basically a survival tax of 20% interest. or more. So why keep handing your money. to the banks when you could keep it for. your family? Interest is what kills you. Our friends at American Financing have a. better way. They're helping homeowners. use their hard-earned equity, and. they're supporting Americans looking to. fulfill the dream of owning a home. With. mortgage rates currently in the fives,
American Financing saves its customers. an average of $800 a month. That's about. 10 grand a year. It's not just a loan, it's a true financial reset. We. recommend American Financing. They're. called America's Home for Home Loans for. a reason. So, get out of credit card. debt. I mean, it is just crazy to borrow. money. No judgment, but it doesn't make. any sense to borrow money at that rate. If you want out, call 800685-55696.
8006855696. or visit americanfancing.net/tucker. So without further delay, this is Greg Bino who just left the. Trump administration, ran Border Patrol, has the actual numbers on this stuff, was there while it was happening. We. believe he is telling the truth. You. should listen carefully to this. interview and you should pay special and. very close attention to his description. of what the administration is now trying. to do to him.
It's shocking. Greg Bavino. Greg Vino, thank you very much for doing this. So. just to kind of set it in context, what. is the state of illegal immigration in. the United States today to the extent. that we know? Like how many illegal. immigrants live in the United States? How many have been deported since Trump. got elected, etc. Like, where are we? >> Tucker, thanks for having me. It's good. to see you. >> Of course. >> Uh, state of illegal immigration. Uh, one word comes to mind, that's. catastrophe right now in the United. States. I I've got the number at 107.
million illegal aliens currently. residing with impunity, I might add, in. the United States. >> 107 million. >> 107 million. One quarter of the. population. and we've got 330,000. approximately American citizens. Add. another 107 million onto that. Uh I. think you can look around in any state, any region, or any city in the United. States, if you're just a regular. American citizen, and say, "Well, you. know what? There's an awful lot of.
illegal aliens and foreigners in our. country." Yeah. I mean, it's a. completely different country because. it's got a completely different. population. And you're discouraged from. saying that for some reason. People are. bullied into silence on the question, but I mean it's it's not the same. country. It's not even close. And you. know, better in some ways, worse in a. lot of ways, but it's totally different. And I assume that was mostly because of. legal immigration, but 107 million. illegal, illegal, the ones that came.
right across that border and not only. over the past few years under the Biden. administration, but look at what's. happened over the past 40 years. >> Why are we fighting a war with Iran? Sorry. Well, makes me mad. What? Why are. we using our $ 1.5 trillion military to. fight a war across the world when we. have 107 million illegal aliens in our. country? >> We've said it many times in the Border. Patrol. The war is on American soil. The. war, the effort, that true effort is on. American soil. So, I agree with you on.
that 100%, Tucker, is the wars on. American soil. And it's not a war to. simply deport those 107 million illegal. aliens. This is survival of the species, ladies and gentlemen. We are at that. precipice of are we going to remain the. United States, the country of our. values, traditions, and beliefs, or are. we going to devolve into something. completely different? If we don't do. something quick and fight that war here. on American soil, we're there. But I.
mean, that was the whole point of. getting Trump elected twice was to stop. illegal immigration, build a wall, which. he didn't do. And then, okay, we'll give. him another chance. 2024. hired Greg Bavino to run Border Patrol. Tom Hman tough on immigration or. whatever. Like Steven Miller, he means. it. And the one thing you knew about. Trump was we were going to deport people. who are here illegally because they have. no right to be here. They're breaking. the law. I go to jail if I break the. law. But if you're from a foreign.
country, you get subsidies to come here. if you break the law. Like it didn't it. doesn't make any sense. But that hasn't. happened, has it? It happened for that. very short period of time in the. interior when the border patrol and the. US border patrol was in the interior and. then with the surrender in Minnesota, it. stopped the 77 million voters that voted. for mass deportations. I guess it uh. they didn't matter anymore. Um, but it. does matter. It matters to you. It.
matters to me. It matters to those 77. million people. It matters to those. 22,000 Border Patrol agents who put. their life on the line in those cities. to have that rug jerked out from under. them by those homemans and those. commissioner Rodney Scots. Okay. So now. without getting you know the the federal. government is its own field of study. Okay. You could get a PhD in it and. still not understand it. It's the. largest human organization in history. spends$7 trillion dollars a year. So. like it's hard to understand what it is,
but in terms that non-experts can. understand, what is the difference. between the border patrol and ICE? A vast difference. The US border patrol. is the unformed. branch of department of homeland. security. CBP and the US border, they. wear uniforms. They wear uniform just. like a police officer you might see in a. city. They wear uniforms. They are the. immigration police, the uniforms. immigration police. Then we've got ICE. border patrol and they've been around.
forever, right? Been here 102 years. Uh, and they've had that interior border. mission for all 102 years. It was the US. Border Patrol, the Marine Corps, Federal. Law Enforcement, that expeditionary. force that would go into the United. States over those 102 years, and there. are many examples of that, to deport up. to millions of illegal aliens. It's. always been their mission. And right. now, that unformed immigration force is. standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the.
border, staring south, twiddling their. thumbs. Largest border patrol in history. now taken off the table. The most highly. trained immigration police that you have. taken right out of the game. Why would. you take your pro squad or your varsity. squad out of the game? I'm totally. confused. So, okay. So, there are two. parts of this question. And there's the. border, you know, the the line between. the United States and Mexico and Canada. And then there's the question of illegal.
the 107 illegal aliens living in the. country. So you often hear people say, "Well, we sealed the borders." So Trump. succeeded. Um I I don't think that's correct. I. don't think that's what success is. But. have the borders been sealed? The. borders are under control more than they. ever have been in my lifetime. However, when you don't have that. interior immigration enforcement, that. mass deportation, what does that do to. your border? What does that do to the.
cartels and the transnational criminal. organizations that are going to push. people across that border? No defense in. history's ever been 100%. None will ever. be 100%. What does that do? Well, you. know, if I make it past those border. patrol agents who are standing on the. line facing south, I got a freebie, Tucker. I got a freebie. I got a freebie. because if I get into the interior, there aren't no mass deportations. occurring. There is the worst of the. worst and the targeted criminal. enforcement that sounds so great. What.
illegal alien crossing the border is. going to say, "Well, gosh, I'm the worst. of the worst. I better not cross." None. of them think that. So, what that does. to your border is that makes your border. less secure. And you will see that over. a period of time that they are going to. try and come across that border and they. will they'll succeed because all they. have to do is make it into the interior. And once they make it into the interior, they're up against ICE. You ask what the. difference between ICE and Border. Patrol. ICE, fantastic. There's some.
patriots there. I love the ICE agents. I. worked with them for that year. Tough. individuals. They got a tough mission. But remember, that is your nonuniformed. immigration officers, the ones that go. into jails and arrest known criminals, uh, long-term investigations. They're. your plain closed detectives. Tucker, would you send New York City police. detectives into the most violent. situation that New York has ever faced. and said, "Well, you know, you're going. to go tackle violent street crime now.
and our uniform police officers are. going to stand by and do something. else.". >> No. Absolutely not. Well, that's what's. happening right now. >> So, when did Border Patrol stop policing. the interior of the country for illegal. immigration? >> Well, most recently it was our surrender. in Minnesota, but before that, you have. to remember the US Border Patrol had. interior border patrol stations. >> Yes. >> Places like Little Rock, Arkansas, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas, Amarillo, Texas, Dallas, Texas, all over the. interior. It was because they were that.
interior. immigration force when needed uh to go. in and pacify a region, an area or a. city so that them, those planecloed. detectives who do a great job could then. take a pacified area and keep it. pacified. That's what this that's the. way that whole thing has worked for 102. years. That's been upended. That doesn't. happen now. Why is that? >> Well, you tell me. Why is that? When did. that stop? uh Minnesota, you know, the.
great I call it the great surrender. The. great surrender in Minnesota when. Commissioner Rodney Scott and Tom Holman. decided to come in. >> And who are they? Uh that's exact. customs and border patrol commissioner. Rodney Scott. >> And what's his background? >> Uh Border Patrol. Career Border Patrol. >> Okay. >> Career board should know should know. what the Border Patrol is to be used. for. >> And Tom Hman is who? >> He's our borders are uh a prior ICE. official. spent his whole year with ICE. I believe he was a Border Patrol agent.
for about a year and then jumped on over. to uh to the plane closed division. there. So, you've got those two. individuals that remember they were. silent, completely silent for that year. when those border patrol agents were. battling it out in a two-front war in. those cities. A two-front war. What's a. two-front war? battling the bad people. and bad things, the cartels and the. illegal aliens and the criminals and. then battling the Pritzers, the Nuomes, the Mayor Basses and the politicians.
Where were they during that year? But. then Minnesota all of a sudden they show. up and say, "Hey, we're here to save the. day in Minnesota." What was saving the. day? Surrendering interior enforcement. They surrendered. That was saving the. day. So, your interior enforcement. stopped the day the border patrol was. sent out of Minnesota. >> That was a decision that the president. made. >> And I I you know, I can't say that was. his decision because he didn't the.
president didn't consult with me on. that. I understood that it was his. >> Well, he announced it anyway. >> Well, he announced they were they were. coming to Minnesota. >> Yeah. Um, you know, I think it's the. president's team. that has that conspiracy not. to to conduct interior enforcement. It's. that team. I think he gets some bad. information. He's got some hellacious. gatekeepers. I don't give him much. credit for doing anything immigration. related because they're doing nothing. But talking about a gatekeeper, in other.
words, someone that can control that. information flow to the big man, they do. one hell of a job. They're doing nothing. really for immigration enforcement in. inside the United States. >> No, it's some targeted enforcement. You. hear an operation here, an operation. there. There was one in Maryland. I. think they had 1,200 arrests last uh. last week. Something like that. What. what that is is that's we're going to do. an operation, spread that, splash that. across the headlines and gaslight.
America into thinking that's what we do. every single day all across the United. States when nothing could be further. from the truth. Walk out on the street. and look. Walk out on the street. Walk. to a Home Depot and take a look at. what's in the parking lot of Home Depot. Does it look like there's mass. deportations and interior enforcement. occurring? Absolutely not. Because let. me tell you, the illegal aliens sure. aren't scared right now. Uh, not at all. So, the phrase dadbot is obviously a. grave slur. It's a kind of gender.

So. this has got to be the greatest. portrayal in American political history. because the whole Trump campaign of 2016. and 2024 were about immigration and. about reducing the number of illegal. aliens in the country like that that was. the whole campaign. So how many just let's just bottom line.
it if we can't I mean again to to the. extent that we can know these numbers. how many illegal aliens residing in the. United States the day Trump was sworn in. would you say. >> uh for the sec for the second term I. would say the 107 million then. >> and how many now would you say there. were in the country. >> 105 million because Christine and the US. border patrol did cause those. self-deportations to occur during that. year lines at the airport going south. Like you wouldn't believe that's not.
happening now. >> You think so? You think there are about. one and a half million self-. deepportations? >> Approx. Approximately. Yes. >> How many deportations by force? >> 5 to 600,000? Maybe. >> Maybe. Okay. So, you think that after. all of that and all the drama that. ensued that there are still 105 million. illegal aliens in the United States. right now? >> Absolutely. Absolutely. You bet. 105. solid. Could be more than that even.
Ducker, >> does anyone else know this? >> You know, um cuz if you got a population. of 330, 340 million and 105 million. illegal aliens, I mean, that's like the. craziest number I've ever heard. You. really think that's the real number? Absolutely. And you know, I guess you. would know, right? Cuz you ran Border. Patrol. Yeah. And one, seeing what's. coming across the border and then. juxtaposing that with what we saw in the. cities and regions we were in. And then. even taking a look at some of the. numbers, something as simple as a a.
traffic pattern. Charlotte, North. Carolina's got a fantastic example. Take. a look at commuters going to work. Commuters going to work in Charlotte. When we arrived for that 5-day. operation, Operation Charlotte's Web, the commute went from terrible to. exceptional. So, we started doing some. studies. I had the staff, hey, do a. study on the traffic. Let's extrapolate. some numbers. What does it take to have. an exceptional commute to work? To do. that, you need to remove about 30. approximately 30 35% of the commuters.
And they took it took a look at the. number of commuters going I think it was. yeah I want to say around 200,000 I. can't remember the exact number now but. 30% what does that 30% equal? starts. equaling that 107 million which is you. know a similar percentage of the. American population. What is that? Um. you know 25% of the American population. So we looked at the commuters. Then we.
looked at absentee rates from Charlotte. and Meckllinburgg schools. 30%. of students didn't show up in Charlotte. Meckllinburgg. What does that start. looking like? Look starts looking like. the 107 million is a pretty accurate. figure. We saw the same thing in. Chicago. The same thing in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, that commute went from. terrible to better than exceptional. How. many commuters did we take off the take. out of the the equation in Los Angeles. to make that drive in America's worst.
worst traffic. gettingon to make it really good? And. they're like, "Wow, these commutes. really good." Think about what that. took. So, so we have a crowded poor. country, which we do because of illegal. immigration is what you're saying. >> I'm Yes, I am saying that 100%. I think. that a majority of our problems are. downstream of immigration, whether it's. something as simple as a commute to. work, but something more insiduous and. more important such as affordability for.
housing for our young people. 107. million people in our country, what does. that do to housing? What does that do to. welfare, jail, schools, hospitals? Um, what does that do to any service that an. American citizen should think they have. access to? It oludes it. Excludes it to. the point where they don't have it. Take. a look at our natural resources. I'm a. big natural resource guy. I'm a. conservationist. >> I am too. >> Look at what's happening to our natural. resources. We had Teddy Roosevelt and. Gford Pincho and they started that.
conservation movement along with. Americans. That conservation movement's. over a hundred years old now. It's been. destroyed in many areas of the country. in 10 years. A 100red years of. conservation destroyed in 10 years. Entire ecosystems wiped out by illegal. aliens. Look at the jinseng harvest in. our eastern forests. Many of those poor. mountain families from where I'm from. there in the Appalachin Mountains. harvested jinseng for hundreds of years. since Daniel boom all the way to the.
mid1 1990s. They can't do that anymore. >> Why? >> It's been stripped. That jins sang has. been stripped from those mountains by. illegal aliens. Hey, you know what? Let's drop off 15 illegal aliens. We'll. scour the entire mountain side, take. every single bit of it in a. nonsustainable harvest. >> and take it off. But that's everything. >> I'm getting too upset. >> Hey, hey, but Tucker, that's not just. Jyn saying that's everything. So, I did. a research paper on that back in 2012.
They wouldn't let me publish it in the. Border Patrol. It was destruction of our. nation's natural resources by illegal. aliens. Wouldn't let me publish it. >> Let me publish it. Why? >> You said it was too controversial. It. told the truth. So, uh, >> it was too controversial for a border. patrol agent to note that illegal. immigration was destroying our natural. resources. >> Imagine that. Yes. I tried several. times. >> Just national suicide. That's obviously. >> Yeah. You bet. So, every facet of our. our natural resources are under attack. You know, look, we're having water.
problems out west. Uh, they're telling. us we're running out of water. >> We're running out of water. They're. telling us we may have rolling blackouts. because we don't have enough. electricity. Everything is downstream of. immigration. No pun intended, but the. water problem out west. We can fix that. Oh, in about two years. Deport 107. million of those illegal aliens taking. your and my water and my resources. Problem solved. Where's Sierra Club? Hey, where's all the environmental. groups? They don't seem to really care. now all of a sudden. you know, I guess.
that's okay. You know, if it's illegal. aliens, you're not, you know, not a. problem. If Tucker Carlson or Greg. Bavino drops a little bit of oil, you. know, out of your car on the pavement, my god, uh, hells to pay. It's called. the, uh, uh, the DSP, the double. standard phenomenon, which is also rife. in America. The double standard. phenomenal aliens get a they get a pass. You don't because you're one of those. dastasterly American citizens who is. apparently uh the devil to the world but.
an illegal alien that actually uses. those resources and hurt your culture, your species. That's okay. See it every day and I. think you do too. >> Um I couldn't agree more and it's one of. the reasons that I campaigned for Trump. That and no new foreign wars. Eating. right's pretty important but it's hard. if you live here. About half of the. American diet is ultrarocessed foods, and that hurts you. Fake food harms your. body, your mind, and especially your.
liver. So, people think that feeling. sluggish and foggy and bloated is just. what it is to be older. But that's not. true. Eating crap makes you feel that. way. Well, our friends at Dose have a. solution. It's called Dose for Your. Liver. This doctor approved plant-based. liver supplement is clinically proven to. promote liver function and lower liver. enzyme levels. That means you're less. bloated, less tired, you feel more like. yourself. All you need to do is take a. daily 2 oz shot. Tastes like orange. juice. An easy shot of liquid is not the.
vax. People we know use dose for your liver. and they have seen rapid results in. their blood work and they feel much much. better. The difference is very obvious. Lots of brands claim to support liver. health, but do so before their products. have gone through testing. This has been. tested. Everything checks all the boxes. Visit dosedaily.co/tucker. Use the code Tucker for 35% off. That's. dosedaily.co/tucker. Code Tucker 35% off. You're going to.
love it. The I just can't get past the. betrayal of all of this. There are still. 105 and I think if you were to pull. Trump voters and ask and I think a lot. of them would say I'm disappointed by. this or that but the one upside is. immigration enforcement. I think if you. told them that there are 105 million. illegal aliens not green card holders. illegal aliens have no right to be here. living here in violation of the law and. living in almost all cases on public.
support. I mean, whether it's schools, roads, hospitals, or direct support from. the states, I think they wouldn't even. believe you. I think Trump voters really. think that the administration's done a. great job on immigration because Fox. News has told them that. >> Yeah. The gaslighting masterclass. >> Really masterass. Give me an example. >> Well, again, the operations that they. conduct, hey, you know what? Um, largest. amount of illegal aliens or largest. amount of aliens deported.
uh you know in the past 50 years just. took place last week. Hey, what are the. numbers? I can't seem to get the. numbers. Your social media influencers. can't seem to get the numbers, but. they're sure touting the numbers out. there. And what are the numbers? I. haven't seen the numbers. If this is. really happening, then how is it that. 250 border patrol agents on those. interior operations pretty much shut. down large sections of the country where. we didn't see an illegal alien? They.
weren't going to hospitals, jails, schools, or anything else because they. were either self-deporting or buttoning. up. That's not happening now. So, if. what you say is really taking place, you. would see the effects. Every American. citizen would see the effects like they. saw it over that past year during. Operation Large, Operation Midway Blitz, Charlotte's Web, Operation Catahula. Crunch, and then the surrender in. Minnesota. You would see that. You would. see it with your own eyes. You know, it's not some ethereal concept to you.
can see that kind of thing with your own. eyes. And American citizens that come up. to us on the streets, came up to us on. the streets and come up to me on the. streets now, they say, "Gosh, it sure. was a different story when you guys were. out when the Mean Green team was out. there on the streets taking it to them. Wow, everything was different. We. finally had hope. You're not getting. that now from people that are actually. up against illegal immigration. Most. especially, and this is key here, our. young people, those young conservatives.
Wow. Now, there are a bunch of. individuals that are seeing this. I get. more comments. and more uh more rhetoric from them than. anybody I have ever seen. They are not. happy. their future they understand is. being taken taken away. It has been. taken away. And you know, Tucker, something very powerful here. One of. those young uh young conservatives came. up to me and said, you know, we've only. heard stories of America. We've only.
heard the story of America. I'm like, what do you mean the story of America? We are America. There's no story. He. goes, we don't know what America is. People like you tell us what America. people like Tucker say, this is what. America used to be like. We've only. heard the story of America. That was the. most powerful thing I've ever heard uh. being a border patrol agent is this. young person that doesn't even know what. real America is because it's been taken. from them. A lot of it through illegal.
immigration. And um you know, they. better wake up. Some of these people. that have betrayed us, some of those. gatekeepers that I just talked to better. wake up because there's a lot of. pissed-off people out there, especially. the young. They did a big part in. ensuring that there was somebody in. office that would take care of. immigration. Very unhappy campers right. now and I don't blame them a bit. They. should be unhappy and they are. sharpening spears dancing around the. campfire right now. >> They have every reason to. Um, one.
measure of border security is the. presence of narcotics that are. manufactured outside the country. And co. cocaine is one that um, cocaine is a. pretty good measure because we don't. grow cocoa here. So all cocaine, at. least the the base, cocaine base, comes. from outside the country, comes from the. Andes. So in 1985, the average cost of a. gram of highly impure cocaine, majority. baby laxative cocaine, was $100 a gram. and you had to drive to some sketchy. area and roll down your window and buy. it and risk your life. The price now in.
many American cities, particularly in. Texas, is $50 a gram for almost totally. pure cocaine that you can have delivered. to your house within like 10 minutes. No. risk. So that tells me that we don't have. secure borders. If the price of cocaine, and that's not adjusted for inflation. Those are just the straight numbers. $100 in 1985, $50 now. So that's like I. don't even know what the inflation. adjustment would be, but that's like $5. a gram, you know, in 1985.
Clearly, we're not keeping drugs out, right? Exactly. Exactly. And that's. where those mass deportations are so. very important. That 107 105 million is. so very important. We saw that in those. cities. Look at the double-digit drops. in crime in those cities. When those. cocaine traffickers, when those those. human traffickers, whatever traffickers. couldn't traffic anymore, doubledigit. drops in crime. When you take a We're. not taking away the the people that use.
it. A lot of those are American citizens. dumb enough to to do that kind of thing. But we're just going to remove everyone. that traffics it that knows it's being. trafficked has anything to do with with. it being trafficked. We're just going to. do away with them. Um I think he did. start out really good. He was blowing. some some drug boats up. The fentanyl. fentanyl kills a lot of people. That's. terrible stuff. Just like cocaine and. anything else. Hey, that was good. That. was taking place simultaneously with us. in those cities taking it to the illegal. aliens. Hey, that gave me hope. I was.
like, "Well, they're actually bombing. boats in the water." Well, if you're. going to take away Border Patrol from in. the interior, are you really going to be. that serious? Are you going to bomb a. boat and do what Rodney Scott and Tom. Holman do, do it one time, splash it. across the headlines and say, "Yeah, we're really taking it to them." And you. did one time. >> So, I'm a little bit confused. So, Homeman, who I've interviewed several. times, says he's very against illegal. immigration and has a pistol and a ankle.
holster and kind of seems like a rough. and ready, no BS kind of guy who's. dedicated his life to fighting ille. illegal immigration. You worked with. him. Tell us, is that is that an. accurate picture? You you know I'll tell you when you're. going to lead an effort to do something. like that. >> inevitably and it's a musto you better. have your ass out there on the front. lines with your people bleeding next to. them especially in the most violent law.
enforcement domestic law enforcement. mission that's faced the US in its. history the most. And I'm I'm even. including prohibition in this one now. Um, where were these individuals during. that year of. pure unadulterated violence? I didn't see him. Where was Commissioner. Rodney Scott missing an action? Where. was Where was Tom Holman? Nice guy. Fun.
guy to talk to. Probably a great guy to. have a whiskey with. Where was he? Ankle. holster and all. Um, where were they? You better get your butt out there with. your people. Bleed and be ready to make. that ultimate sacrifice next to them. You're not too good. You're not too good. to do that. None of you are. You better. get out there and do that. So, I would. pose that question back to you as my. answer is, well, where were they? I. never saw them. Not saw not once. Never. even heard from them. Never had a. conversation. Nothing. Silence.
But they're not silent now. Uh, still. not out there, but not silent. um more. of a we're gonna take a soft approach. I. guess maybe that's the the. >> What does that mean? A soft approach. >> A soft approach means we're not going to. be out there doing those general. immigration raids. We're not going to. conduct total spectrum immigration. enforcement, which is what you have to. do if you're going to win this battle. Total spectrum immigration. That means. everything brought to bear against that.
enemy. In other words, we're talking. about the war being fought on American. soil. It's going to take a an effort. like that. a total warfare. What they're. talking about is a limited form of. enforcement. Sort of like World War II. versus Vietnam. What do we do in. Vietnam? Well, you know, we're going to. do some precision limited strikes here. and we're not going to go total warfare. and we're going to lose. Whereas World. War II, total spectrum warfare. Whatever. it takes, we do. So, that's what the.
soft approach is, is we're going to do a. precision strike. Hey, a precision a. precision strike. Tucker's never won a. war, by the way. It won't. Let's do a. precision strike there in Maryland. They. did that last week. They got some good. apprehensions as those ICE agents are. the greatest. Love them. They're like. border of a patriots. But that'll never. win 105 million illegal aliens. You have. to do something else. You're not going. to put handcuffs on 105 million people. We've only got two years left to do.
that, by the way. You need to encourage and mandate those. self-deportations. and those largecale efforts that it's. going to take. It won't be neat, clean, and easy. Of course, it's not. We never. said it would be. That's what you have. to do. A soft approach is the opposite. of that. Hey, it's Tucker Carl. We. launched ALP about a year and a half. ago, and people are voracious for it. They can't get enough. Everywhere you. go, you get the same question. When are. you making more flavors? We are not in. the business of disappointing people. Instead, we're in the business of.
satisfying them. So, we have made at. least three more flavors. Introducing. the Alp Frontier Collection. They are. Campfire Cinnamon, Sunset Mango, and. Cowboy Coffee. Available in 4 millig and. 8 mg. Because if you're going to use. nicotine, you ought to have some. options. Why not just enforce. ID laws? Like, we have AI. So, like, how. does anybody have a fake social security.
card or a fake driver's license? And yet, millions, tens of millions of. people do. I I don't think I could get. away with that. How were they allowed to. get away with that? >> DSP, double standard phenomenon. It is. alive and well in this country. Um, it. it's one of those uninforced laws. >> But if you had a fake social security. card and tried to open a bank account, I. think you'd risk jail for that, right? >> Absolutely. Absolutely. You bet. But. who's going to go after an illegal alien.
for that? When. >> I don't know, the Trump administration, was he just elected to do this? Didn't. he get the majority of the popular vote. to do this? >> Yes. Absolutely. >> That's not violent. You're not shooting. anybody. It's like you can't use fake. federal documents. I'm not allowed to. use fake federal No, I'm serious. Like, why is that? How can you get on an. airplane if you're here illegally? I. mean, they facial recognition at the. freaking airport. Like, we're all. totally monitored at all times. So, if. you've got 105 illegal aliens in your. country, someone wants them there. Someone in power like Donald Trump or.
whomever is making these decisions. Like, what is this? Yes. What is this? It's a farce. It is a farce. It's a. farce. It's a slap in the face. And, you. know, it's uh but we can still win it. Here's the thing, though. We can still. win this. Well, you've got two years. because the second I mean Democrats are. about to take power in two months and at. that point the chances that and you know. you think Republicans going to win in. 2028. I mean after this war in Iran. No.
So you're going to they're all going to. be legalized. That's it. And then you're. just it's a totally different country. for. >> done. You're if that happens done every. American. >> But how is that not going to happen? >> Well, we can still do it. We can still. do it. Look, we've proof concepted how. to do this in in the in the interior. One of the US Border Patrol leading. efforts in the we the proof concepts. there. It's just on a much larger scale. It's also bringing ma and pa America. into the fight. Bringing the taxpayer. into the fight. Remember that was.
something in our strategy that was well. in motion. You've got to bring them into. the fight. everyday citizens like a. victory garden in World War II. We're. going to do our part. >> But they think they've already won. They've been told by the administration. and Fox News that you know that this is. the upside of Trump. All the downsides. is the upside. You got what you wanted. out of immigration. Yeah. Well, I'm here. to say um sorely mistaken and uh. absolutely not. Um you've got you you've.
got you scratched the surface, but look. around. you look around and see what. that's like out on the streets. Look at. what look at what our African-Americans. are facing in those cities. I get so. many calls for from conservative blacks. saying. >> you did the please come back to Chicago. or LA or wherever because that was the. only first and only time that our. community is really truly.
had any assistance from from from. anybody. They. >> no one in charge cares about black. people. They all absolutely. >> their schools have been destroyed. The. murder rate's out of control. They're. being replaced by illegal aliens. And. literally nobody cares. >> Nobody nobody cares. And their families. have been here for 350 years. And nobody. cares. >> Nobody gives a damn. Nobody gives a damn. about that. But you know what I tell. you? Pritser, Governor Pritser there in. in Illinois, he had a he once we started. in fourth ward and some of those wards. and the black folks came out and were. supporting us, you could tell they were.
getting a little edgy. They were like, uhoh, hey, they're on to something, you. know. And what a great what a great. story for a Holman or a Rodney Scott if. they're going to sit back in a a safe. seat in DC to talk about silence. Silence your own citizens coming out in. force to support the US Border Patrol of. all people of all people. And what a. story. What a miss. What a miss by that. bunch of gate guards. Unbelievable. Who.
are who are the gay guards? Uh, two of. them there I've mentioned. Yeah. Two. fantastic ones there. Like they're. fantastic. Um, at guarding the gate. >> At guarding the gate. Guarding that. information. You bet. I think if Trump. knew what you and I were talking about, you know, I think if you or I could sit. across from him and say, "Hey, here's. the real deal that you haven't been. getting, I think. You know what? I think. he would actually reverse course.". Because, and the reason I say this is. look at what we did that first year once.
we started. Hey, we got calls from. Trump. He called the Border Patrol. He. called us. Man, you guys are doing. great. Kick their ass. We've got your. back. Kick butt. We're going to take. this thing. He said that gate guards. come in, you know. So, I think Caesar. was probably up against that uh there. many thousands of years ago. Same thing. You can see the the jackles and the hea. They always come in, nip at the nip at. the the the tendons. And I think that's.
what happened. I think that if he was to. hear what was really going on, hear what. Americans are thinking and saying, hearing those young people out there, and then hearing some of the. conspiracies that have actually taken. place under his watch by those. individuals, he'd be like, "Wow, wait a. second." Like what? >> Well, you know, uh, surrender in. Minnesota. You know, um, people say, "Hey, Buffina, you retired.". I did. I retired. That neat, clean, and. easy. I was just a little tired and.
decided to retire. Hey, Tucker, I got. some gas in the tank. There's a. retirement there. If they want you gone, if those gate guards want you gone, you. better watch out. They'll come for you. They will come for you. They'll come for. your retirement. They'll come for. everything. And um, >> did that happen to you? >> Absolutely. Every bit of the way. Every. bit of the way. You know, when you play. a hard game, you can expect hard. treatments. I get that. But not a. two-front war. Hard treatment should be. me and the criminals. Not the two-front war of me and the.
folks that are supposedly your friends. You know, the minute I get the minute I. the minute I left, security detail gets pulled. I'm that. one of the highest, if not the highest. threats in DHS, death threats. I mean, you name it, man, they're coming. Hey, take that kind of security detail. We're. going to shut that guy up. Stroke of. midnight came. Those Border Patrol. agents refused to leave my house. And I had to direct order. Hey, no.
You're you're you're leaving cuz I'm not. in the Border Patrol anymore. And you. know what? I knew this. I didn't say. that to them. They'll come for you also. They'll come for you also. So the. administration Yeah. Absolutely. Yes. You bet. But Anthony Fouchy still has. federal security. We're paying Anthony. Fouchi's security detail. He doesn't. work for the government anymore. He. spent the whole life on the federal tit. and he still has Secret Service. protection. Anthony Fouchy.
um who committed crimes. But you don't. because the administration didn't want. you want you to have security. Why? I. >> I think to silence me because. >> silence you like get you killed because. that's what it sounds like. Do I think. they want me dead at this point? Yes. I'm in a running battle every time I go. out. I mean, every time. The citizens of. my own community are like, "What is. going on with you? These people come. There's some crazies out there. You. know, you know this, Tucker. And you. bet. Do I think they want me killed?".
Absolutely. You know, >> the administration. >> Yeah. Absolutely. Or or more of the gate. guards. I I don't think Trump would. I. think if Trump knew what they had done. and what they would do to Border Patrol. agents or ICE officers or anyone that. disagrees with them, I think he would. have an absolute panic attack or a heart. attack over something like that. >> But you think Homeman wants you gone. dead? >> I think Rodney Scott, he's the one that. took my security detail away with with. Homeman there. Yeah, absolutely. You. bet. >> Why? >> Uh, you know, that's a pretty heavy.
thing to say. And if I wasn't from. Washington, I probably wouldn't believe. you, but I do believe you since I am. >> Sure. Well, you know, I wouldn't have. believed it either, but um with what was. coming at me the minute I retired, I. thought, well, yeah, I'll probably get. some security there. You know, they're. coming after other family members as. well. >> Your family members? >> Absolutely. Through the mail. Uh there. was one point where the FBI had to to. intercept every single piece of mail. because there were some bad things. coming in the mail, that kind of thing.
And just the vast amount of death. threats. I got doxed yesterday by WBTV. channel 3 in Charlotte, North Carolina. And. >> in what way? >> Uh trying to name home addresses. They. got the. >> actually Oh, yes. Yes, you bet. Now, I've got a different address with my. girlfriend out out at a different place. But they did do that. And when that. happens over and over and over, >> what can you reame the channel again? >> A WBTV channel 3. Why would it be part.
of the news gathering process to put. your home address on a TV channel? >> You know, I think that uh that's. something that we saw in those cities. with an absolute outofcontrol. uh so-called news media. They're not a. news media. Now, when they do things. like they're not a news media, they're a. a propaganda arm. >> They're an enforcement arm at that. point. >> An intimidation arm. You bet. But the. only problem is I'm not I'm not.
intimidated. I wouldn't be here talking. to you. Uh hey, they tried to take my. legal representation away or probably. already who did. >> Uh that was Homman and the gate guards. Your legal representation. In other. words, if you're sued for actions taken. in your official capacity at Border. Patrol, you don't get legal. representation. You're supposed to. absolutely. If it was under the. performance of your duties under the. color of law and you weren't doing. something illegal, >> right? Yeah. then absolutely every. minute of the day. But um apparently.
others don't see it that way. >> How do you know that? >> You know, I got a call from a another. Border Patrol chief, a retired chief who. got a call from them saying, "Hey, if. you don't stop, we're taking it away.". >> Stop what? >> Stop coming on Tucker Carlson. And. >> pointing out that there's still 105. million illegal aliens in the country. >> You bet. And um. >> Homeman did that. >> Uh uh his people. Yeah, I can't say he. did. his people. Yes. You bet.
>> Again, I've interviewed the guy a number. of times. I hope he'll come back. I'd. love to ask him about this. >> Absolutely. Yeah. May maybe that would. uh hell, I'd like to ask him about it. >> Have you talked to him since you left? >> No. >> So, I'd love to put a finer point. I. mean, first of all, what you said is. shocking. Everything you've said is. shocking. Um, and really, really. distressing and dark. If you think. Homeman and this other guy want you. dead, I mean, that's like that's. unbelievable. >> No, proof's in the pudding. >> I think that's fair. But why? I'd love.
to know a little more precisely why. they're so mad at you. I think when we have big labor or I'm. sorry, cheap labor politicians who are a. very powerful force. I didn't realize. they were this power. Very powerful. force. um that puts a lot of pressure on some. individuals and some individuals may. maybe they want the lucrative contracts. also. I don't I don't know. I can't say. that for sure. But there's something. there behind the scenes that causes that. to happen. It doesn't just happen just.
for the hell of it. Let's have Bo dead. >> But not cuz voters want it. Voters. wanted to get back to the sort of pre-. lunatic American population. >> They don't want to live in a crowded. poor country. Who wants that? Nobody. wants to live in Bangladesh. So like. this is nuts. And that's what voters. wanted. That's why they elected Trump. That and no new foreign wars. And then. the donors convinced Trump to fight a. foreign war that voters did not want. And it sounds like don don donors also. pushed Trump to stop immigration.
enforcement. >> Yes. You think that's true? >> I do. Absolutely. You bet. Um, I mean, look at some of the the politicians that. came out against me or Christine Nome. specifically after the surrender in. Minnesota, the Kennedys out of out of. Louisiana. McCall Representative McCall. out of Texas. >> Yes. Why would they say those things? Like, >> what did McCall say? >> And I believe he said that we were um. out of control and too aggressive, something like that.
>> Do you find it interesting? So McCall is. is a a a tool of the intel agencies, I. happen to know. And I and I mean that. and I hope he'll come on and explain how. I'm wrong, but he knows I'm not wrong. because I've talked to him about it. directly. But I I have noticed a. connection between the people who are. like not very loyal to the United States. and very into fighting wars on behalf of. other nations. They're also very against. immigration enforcement. I've noticed. that. Have you noticed that? >> I have. And some of the people I and. I've noticed that over my career some.
people that I would think, "Oh, they're. going to be good on immigration." The. worst. I remember when when Bush was. elected, we were rejoicing in the. patrol. We thought, "Oh, man. This is. going to be great. He was just as bad as. Bill Ray Clinton." Or worse, >> of course. >> Worse again, the two-f frontont war, stabbing you in the back while you're. out fighting bad guys. Same thing now, except worse. even worse than. >> but Bush was this very much like this. administration, you know, spent all of. its time, all of its our money, all of. their energy fighting a war in the. Middle East and then therefore changing.
the American population with illegal. immigration at the same time. >> It's so weird. I don't understand the. connection. All of it is bad for. America. Maybe that's the connection. Um. Tucker, this is in my opinion, of. course, >> the greatest issue and greatest threat. that our nation has faced since its. founding. Of course, and I'm including. the Civil War in that. I think the Civil. War is child's play compared to what. we're facing now because. >> this ends it all. 105 million illegal.
aliens get amnesty and start voting, which it appears that uh you know the. the Thillis, Tom Tillis's uh the. McCall's and the rest of that gang want. that. Um when they start voting, everything's gone. If you think your. Second Amendment's it's gone. That. Second Amendment's gone. Everything's. gone. Everything that you hold dear, your culture, your values, traditions, everything. They don't care. You know, Tucker, they don't care about your. history, nor the Americans, American. history, because that which is gi Robert. Heinland said it the best. He wrote.
Starship Troopers. That which is given. has no value. That which is given has no. value. We just gave them citizenship. They will hate you for that. They'll. abhore you for that. They do abhore us. for that. You can already see it. The. entitlement mentality, it's not an. entitlement. They just hate Americans. because we're stupid enough to do it. And when you give someone something like. that, they don't care if your granddad. died at Deoima or your great great great.
granddad at Gettysburg or maybe you had. a ancestor that was a founding father. They could give a damn about that. They. don't care. When that ceases to be a. reality here in our country and you're. in my country, you're done. Right now, we're at the precipice of the greatest. of of either solving or bowing down to. the greatest threat that we have ever. faced since the founding. >> I strongly agree with that. Um it seems.
very obvious and that's why there's so. little national cohesion. Um the upside, however, for the people. in charge is an immigrant population is. much easier to control. They don't believe that the Bill of. Rights is real or applies to them. They. don't have natural rights. They don't, no one's told them what that is. So, you. can kind of do whatever you want to them. and call yourself the hero of the story. And you see it with rich people and. their housekeepers who all secretly hate. them. But they're totally convinced.
that, you know, Catalina loves me. I'm. the hero to her. Uh there is a kind of. psychology, the rich white lady psychology around. this question. of the Democratic. plantation owners, the new plantation. owners. And um that's the way they even. act like it. These elitists, these. French-le liberal socialists act like. that. Uh like plantation owners. Oh, I. know. >> Uh it's it's absolutely amazing the way. what they do. And you talk about racist. Holy cow. They're the worst. >> Yep.
>> Yeah. No, they I've seen it so much. So how did when Christine left was. forced out. uh and then replaced by one of the. slowest famously one of the slowest but. certainly one of the most liberal. members of the United States Senate Mark. Wayne Mullen which he is he's extremely. liberal and because he's from Oklahoma. like nobody seems to get that but he is. particularly in immigration. and foreign policy I mean it's like.
giving it to Lindsey Graham how did that. h why would you put Mark Wayne Mullen. a liberal, a Kla Harris liberal in that. role. >> Exactly. I think when we talk about. those donors, that donor class, >> uh, getting someone confirmed, >> why would you not put a liberal and. you're going to get enough votes from. the crazy Democrats, uh, and then you're going to get the. support from the big labor rhinos, just like they did with Commissioner.
Rodney Scott. He sailed through the. confirmation, folks. You know what? He's. bringing back Biden era individuals into. CBP right now as we speak. The ones that. let the 30 million in. >> Actually, yo, you bet. Yes. Does the. White House know this? You know, I don't. think I again I think the gate guards. keep it so guarded. I don't think they. know. >> Steven Miller, I thought he was this. big. >> I don't know. Hey, Stevie, you bet. You. got some work to do there, buddy. Got. some work to do there, Stevie. But, um, I'm just confused because wasn't this. the issue that defined them? Yes. Yes,
it was. So that's how that's how someone. like a a Mark Mullen is put into a. position like that. There are a certain. class of people that love a Mullen. Hey, you know, Mullen, what is he listening. to? He's listened to Tom Holman, Rodney. Scott, worst of the worst in targeting. That's really all he can that's all he. can regurgitate. So that for people who. haven't heard that talking point, that. means we're going after the really bad.
ones. >> The really bad ones, worst, the criminal. aliens, the terrorists, child molesters, you know, folks that have committed. murder, whatever. The worst of the. worst. >> People have criticized Israel, stuff. like that. Really, the really bad, the. ones who deserve the death penalty. >> Um, that's and and I will say that that. is the opposite of what we should be. doing. That is not a threat to your. nation. Let me say this again. A lot of. people think I'm crazy. That's not the. threat to your nation is the worst of. the worst. The threat to your nation is.
your run-of-the-mill. illegal alien that we've just said, the. 105 million that don't share your. cultures, your values, that don't care. about anything related to America, that. have been given cit that that want to be. given citizenship. That's far more of a. threat. Hey, we can get those criminal. aliens anytime. That record's not going. away. Uh, we can get him anytime. Anytime. Right now, we've got that. window to get that regular.
run-of-the-mill illegal alien, maybe a. landscaper. Maybe he doesn't have a. criminal record in the US, even though. he's still a criminal because he crossed. the border illegally. They're all. criminals. Uh, he probably does have a. criminal record in a foreign country. that we won't know about. But that is. far more of a threat to you, me, and our. values than. an MS-13 gang member. certainly a threat. to our justice system because I I'm. like, "Why should I obey the law? Why am. I going Why do I have a seatelt alarm in. my car? Constantly getting lectured. about everything all the time from.
everybody in authority. $18 a pack. cigarettes just like an unaffordable. life. and a a legal code that you have to hire. a lawyer to understand whether you're in. compliance. And you better know whether. you're in compliance because you go to. jail or get fined if you're not. And. then 105 million people get to just like. give the finger to the US code and. nobody does anything about it. It's like. why am I obeying the law? Like what? Why. does that make sense? Not a lick of.
sense. But what it is is it's a litmus. test. The litmus test took place over. this past year with that interior. enforcement campaign. Hey, you know. what? We don't agree with that law. We. don't agree with the immigration laws. that are enshrined in the INA, the. Immigration and Nationality Act and. those court decisions and and the. Constitution and everything. We don't. agree with that, sir. We're going to. riot and we're going to martyr whatever. we've got to do because we don't agree. with that law. That's a litmus test. because if you don't agree with an.
immigration law and do away with it, do. away with the Border Patrol surrender. You can do that with anything. You can. do that with any law there. It's not. just that one. It's just mob rules. Exactly. The most violent group gets to. do whatever it wants. >> It does. You and me will pay the price. if we do something right now. You're. right. They'll be on us in a in an. instant, but the 105 million, not so. much. Back to the natural resources. I've interviewed many game wardens. throughout the 50 states, and they said, you know, a lot of times we won't even.
write an illegal alien because one, we. don't know who who he is. We don't know. who this person is. Uh or if we do, he. beats us out of court. He walks out of. the courtroom before we even do. Nothing. happens. I'm not going to waste my time. doing that. Now, you or me, we do. something wrong. You're done. You're. done. And um. >> Oh, try Oh, yeah. >> You're done. And um. >> try shooting a rough grouse on a Sunday. in the state of Maine. >> Yeah. As a as a legal resident.
>> Yes. Yeah. No, I know. Um. >> but gil net a 100 fish is an illegal. alien. And that h that's what they're. doing now because they see our natural. resources as something for them not. something to conserve, preserve or. conserve. Gilnet gilnut. They'll just. throw a gil net in the water. You know. during this when I was writing this. research paper I was abhored at actually. what was happening. They'll gil net fish. catch 50 of them when you actually gil. net fish. >> Yes. And you or me our limit may be two.
or three or whatever the limit is. >> I don't kill any fish and I think I. might shoot someone for gil netting. Like that's I mean I that's immoral and. I'm I'm not for shooting anybody but I. would be tempted to shoot someone for. gil netting. That is so outrageous. >> It is happens all the time. >> Seriously? >> Yes. >> Yes. Uh you know I I wish I'd brought my. paper. I'll send you a copy of my paper. >> I don't want to read it. And. >> I'm so upset just hearing. >> all facets of our conservation effort. are under siege. All facets. >> Like destroying God's creation in our.
country. >> Yes. And destroying our sustainable. resource. You know, we're we're we're. sportsmen, sportsmen, sports women, because we have a sustainable system of. producing us. But you know what? Tell me. about it. >> Do you do you think that the third world. gives a crap about that? No. Because. they don't do it in their countries. So, they come here, see ours, they don't. have to obviously pay attention to our. law. >> What's the Trump administration doing to. to fix the problem you're describing. right now? >> Uh they're letting illegal aliens go. during operations. They let 20 go in. North Carolina 3 weeks ago. three weeks.
ago, last Sunday, uh on one of our wild. and scenic rivers, they I think they. apprehended 10, they allowed 20 to walk. in one of those wild and scenic areas in. which resources were being destroyed. >> Are you serious? >> Yes, absolutely. I tweeted about it or. exed about it or whatever that is, tweeted about it and um they said their. systems were down, their computer. systems were down. probably these. individuals were um not single male. adults and would have been a little. harder to remove or they would have had.
to um put females in detention and. apparently, you know, you can't do that. if you're an illegal alien female. >> Why do people go to detention? Why don't. they just bring them to the border of. Mexico where they all came from? >> Exactly. Or fly them right right from. the spot. Exactly. I agree. Or put them. on a big container ship and drive them. across the ocean. Whatever you need to. do. Yes. But they allowed 20 to walk. They won't answer that question. I posed. that question. put it up on my ex. >> No wonder they want to kill you. >> Probably. So, yep. I think that uh uh if.
they could or not them, but if it. happened, I don't think they'd be too. sad. >> So, how exactly you said you didn't. retire, you got fired. How did that. work? >> You know, after Minnesota, um I returned. to my sector and that was the El Centro. sector. We call that the premier sector. in the US Board of Got to give a plug to. those folks out there. The premier. sector, >> Central California. >> Yes. Uh that was the sector under Biden. >> It's east of San Diego. >> between San Diego and Yume, Arizona. >> Y um. >> it's a tough tough place. >> Rough place, but hotter the fire, harder.
the metal. That was your interior staff. out of the El Centro sector. Those folks. controlled our part of the border under. Biden. You know, we didn't uh prescribed. to throughput and decompression. That. was push as many in as you can. Well, we. didn't disobey orders, Tucker. We It was. through pit and decompression the other. way back into Mexico. And guess what. happened? Nobody wanted to cross the. border in El Centro. We smashed them, including the red Chinese and anybody.
else that came across the border. So. anyway, uh I get back to El Centro right. after Minnesota and the investigations. begin and I'm thinking, what are you. people doing? Hey, >> investigations of what? Uh, the first. one that came down the bike was, you. might remember the Chicago judge said. that I lied in a courtroom. That's death for a law enforcement. officer to lie. That's you're done. That's lack of cander. Yeah,
>> they'll get you every time on that. As. they should. You shouldn't lie. >> Well, I didn't lie in a courtroom, by. the way. I'll set the record straight on. that one. Told the truth every minute. But simply because a federal judge said. that even though her entire decision was. vacated by the higher court, they said. what you what your whole ruling is. ludicrous and you're actually. constitutionally suspect by the way, which is should be death for a crazy. judge. But the investigation, hey, you. know what? We're going to investigate.
you for lack of cander. Uh lying. And I'm like, huh? Wow. that that whole. thing was vacated. What are you talking. about? Doesn't matter. You're getting. investigated. So, they sent that case to. something called a DRB, disciplinary. review board. DRB says, "You know what? That's a panel of leadership within. Customs and Border Protection that takes. a look at disciplinary cases. Highly. unusual for the commissioner to send. that case straight to a DRB with no.
investigation. The DRB, that review. board, looks at it and says, "You know. what? There's nothing here. We see. absolutely nothing here. Send it back. Case should be closed. Well, that. commissioner says, "You know what? Let's. take another shot at him. I'm gonna. weaponize internal affairs on this one. Hey, internal affairs, this guy lied. Open an investigation on him." When it. gets to that point and they start coming. after you like that, I've been in the. federal government long enough to know. what they're coming after your. retirement. They're not just coming to.
fire you. They're going to take your. retirement, your pension, everything. So, I get a lawyer and he says, 'You. know, I've never seen anything like this. before. Uh, you better get your ass out. of the federal government real quick. Seriously? Yes, but I don't run too. easy. And I said, you know, I think, you. know, I think I'm going to fight this. one because, hey, it's cut and dried. He. goes, don't. You put a period on a piece. of paper and they're going to say you. lied. Um, and then the second. investigation came down. You may have.
remembered the uh they accused me of. anti-semitism. >> I don't remember that. >> Uh that was out of uh. >> I think most Americans have been accused. of anti-semitism. >> Yeah, of course. You know, another one. they said that uh I made some. anti-semitic comments to the US attorney. there in in Minnesota. >> Did you? Absolutely not. Uh never I. never talked to him when I made the. comments. I was talking to some of his. staff who quit the next day and then. doxed me uh uh uh because they didn't. agree with the way the border patrol or.
that the border patrol is even in. Minnesota. It's crazy stuff. You can't. believe this stuff happens. Well, anyway, they said, "Hey, anti-semitism.". And the New York Times ran with it. >> What What did they say you said? >> They said that uh I said the the Jewish. people were the chosen ones, but that I. said it in a very sarcastic tone. I guess that must be anti-semitism, you. know. I don't know. I was uh straight. out of the uh uh Bible study from oh. about 1976 in North Carolina. Hey, Jews.
chosen ones. I can say that all day. long. That's not anti-semitism. I think. it'd be the opposite if I said that. So. anyway, we're in the kind of George. Republican version of George Floyd here, though, where everyone is accused of. some bias crime. You bet. >> Except it's now anti-semitism, not. racism, because nobody cares about black. people anymore. It's the same It's the. same thing though. >> Absolutely. So, I didn't even know I was. under investigation for this until the. New York Times informed me, hey, uh, since you're under investigation for. anti-semitism, would you like to make a.
comment? They called me and I'm like, what are you talking about? My own. agency didn't even tell me. It was I. found that out through the New York. Times reporter that called. >> under investigation for anti-semitism. >> The Trump administration did that to. you. >> Yeah. CBP. Well, customs. I don't think. Trump knew about it. >> No, but it's the federal administration. Yeah. >> So, I found that one out and I'm like, "Wow, this is uh this is this is. interesting." So, then to make a long. story short, some special agents show up at my house, say, "We, you know, uh start knock.
banging on the door like what's going. what what's going on here?" My security. team says, "We don't know what's going. on. What's going on?" I didn't answer. the door. I don't need to answer the. door. They were there for my computer, which I. was retiring the next day. They said. they wanted it right that right right. that minute. I never talk to them. They get the orders from somewhere in. DC. Well, just go ahead and smash the. guy's door in and make entry. Luckily, the US Border Patrol was there.
and said, "It's the way that thing. works." And they got sent packing. That. was what was happening there. It's time. to retire. You know, >> this is so crazy. I can hardly and I. mean as far as I know, you didn't do. anything other than believe the campaign. promises the rest of us believed in 2024. and thought, "Okay, here's a chance to. do what voters have asked their. government to do.". Yeah. Hey, you know, when you're given a. mission, you go hard at it. And no.
regrets there with the mission. Regrets. with how I handled some of those gate. guards and the administration. You know, I would like to I I think I could have. taken a more active role in briefing. Trump face to face on some of this. I. think that had he known and saw our. strategy, what the end goal was, how. Americans were coalesing behind us, I. think he'd been, "All right, great job.". So, I could have done a better job on. that. Um, you know, I think a lot of the.
individuals around him are non- border. security professionals. They have no. they don't know the difference between. border patrol and ICE even. I don't. think a lot of them even know the. difference between US border patrol and. ICE. Think it's all ICE. Oh, it's an ICE. mission. Vastly different. What with I I. never understood I mean you can tell my. views on immigration. I think it's a. disaster. It is a disaster. But I I was I never liked the idea of. any federal agent wearing some kind of.
narco mask on the street. What was that? Um that was the doxing. Um that was. the fact that they would take that agent. that agent's face and say, "Hey, his. mother and father live at such and such. an address. He and his daughter live at. such and such an address.". And then people start showing up within. 24 hours. Um and the reason we know that. one me I didn't wear a mask and you know.
man they were on me quick. There were. some other agents that didn't wear masks. and it happened to them immediately. I. mean, within hours, but okay. Right. We. also had like a mafia and all kinds of. organized criminal elements in this. country over centuries, which we kind of. defeated. So, if there are organized. groups threatening the families of. federal employees, we should probably go. after those groups. Go after the groups. and the folks that fund those groups. You bet. Wholesale? I don't Why is that. hard?
Why is that a hard concept? >> No, I'm serious. Because then everything. falls apart. That's not a partisan. question. It's just like the system. falls apart if no one can enforce the. law because of threats from criminal. gangs, right? Absolutely. And the. anarchists in the streets. >> Yeah. But there's never been a. systematic effort to fix any of that. And I don't know why. >> You know, there was uh the the the the. one effort that I saw was that US. attorney out of the central district in. California. His name is Billy. What a.
patriot that man was. He actually did go. after those individuals in California. when we were in Los Angeles. And you. know what that did? That really that. really dialed down the violence against. our effort in those cities, dialed the. riots down, dialed the the crazies down. because he was actively going after them. and prosecuting them. He he got some. fantastic prosecutions. that's been lost. in in in in in the narrative somehow. Uh.
what a success that man was. We had the. opposite in in in the other cities is. you know what we're not we're going to. wait till till they leave and just not. do anything because you know my gosh. this is scary and you know there'll be. awful lot of prosecutions and my. gracious but the FBI there in in central. district Los Angeles they did a. fantastic job they proof tested that. concept it can be done they did it the. FBI along with uh w with uh that US.
attorney they kicked Uh, but there were. a lot of other US attorneys that were. patently against us. Some of them. actually got fired under the Trump. administration. >> Well, I would hope so, but you should be. able to enforce the law. I mean, what's. the point of the system if you can't do. that? And by the way, I do think I get. why people want to wear masks. I get why. they're afraid. But I also feel like you. seed you give up some legitimacy when. you do that. Like when you're enforcing. the law as a federal law enforcement.
officer, you're standing behind laws. that the Congress passed elected by the. people of this country. Like you are the. front line in a system that we all hope. is legitimate. If you can't show your. face in public, I don't know. I mean, what what message are you are you. sending? We can't control our own. country. We're not legitimate enough to. defeat like domestic insurgencies. against us. I like what are you saying? It's such a expression of weakness. I. guess it freaks me out.
>> Does that make sense? >> It it does. And then again, why do we. allow anarchy to take place in the. streets in the face of law enforcement. and normalize it? Why is that allowed to. be normalized? And well, only certain. kinds of anarchy are allowed to be. normalized, the ones that the donors. prefer. But most people are not for that. at all. And if you were to have like a. mass protest against election theft or. illegal immigration, it' be shut down. immediately by the same people who allow. Black Lives Matter protests to destroy.
our cities. >> Yes. >> Right. So, it's it's it's like a. selective enforcement. And I think it. all goes back to the root cause, which. is the richest people in the country are. trying to destroy the country. >> or they don't care or they just or they. don't care. They want to get richer and. they'll do it on the backs of you. They'll step on the dead bodies of their. citizens to get there. >> 100%. I wish I didn't think that, but I. do think that. >> because the evidence is in. Don't you. think. >> it's it's getting irrefutable at this. point to have what's happening in our.
country take place now? Uh I wouldn't be. speaking if you had said you're going on. Tucker and you're going to say what I. just have said. I have said you're. absolutely crazy. I was going to put. this in the book, but you know, it needs. to be said now. It needs to be said now. If you told me when I was, you know, speaking on Thursday night at the. Republican National Convention, introducing Trump that two years later I. would be talking to a former federal. official about how he betrayed the. entire country in immigration or his. administration did. I'd be like, I don't.
think that that that's not possible. I mean, this whole thing is so shocking. to me. I can't believe it's happening. >> Yeah. Well, you know, I think it shocked. a lot of Americans. They thought there. was so much hope out there. And that's. probably one of the greatest one of the. the most heart-rennding messages I get. is there was so much hope with what was. happening in those cities. We watched. you guys, the green team, every night. and we we thought we're there. Hey, we're taking it back. Even Europe, you. know, I've been going to Europe quite a. bit here lately, talking to those folks.
with the remigration summits and and. Restore Britain and and and that type of. thing, and they they said the same. thing. We've got the same problem with. the same solution. We watched what was. happening starting in Los Angeles. Every. night they were glued. They said, "Man, there's hope. Look at this. This is. really going to happen and it's going to. start happening in Europe. And then all. of a sudden, lights out. The light. switch was turned off and it all ground. to a halt. All that hope ground to a. halt. And you know, it's it's shocking.
You just said you're shocked." I'm. shocked. I would never have thought that. would have happened. You know, the. momentum was building and then the light. switch went out. We went into darkness. >> What do you think happens next? I have great faith in American. exceptionalism. Um, people like Tucker. Carlson, people like this, young. conservatives, as young people, you're I. think you're going to start seeing a lot. of young people in campuses and.
throughout the United States standing up. saying, "Wait a second. We've had. enough. We want the story of America. back. We want to make the story of. America. We want to know what America's. like. We're done with this. And I think. there's going to be a lot of pressure. put on the donor class, on President. Trump and many of these and the feckless. bureaucrats that I've just talked about, those gate guards, those worthless. gateguards. And you know, I'm always an optimist. I'm always an optimist. Never be a.
defeist. We've been up against some dark. times before in this nation. Maybe not. this dark, but we have and we've always. came through. I think that you or I. wouldn't be talking if if we thought it. was done. You know, I think that uh. despairs for those who see the end. beyond any doubt. I'm not in despair. yet, but. we're rapidly that the window's closing. And I think that as long as we're uh uh. talking about this and that people care.
and that there's still enough Americans. here ready to do what it takes, we can. write the ship. We can do it. Maybe it. takes off tomorrow. That spark has to be. lit. Hope you light the spark, Tucker. >> Greg Vino, thank you very much for doing. this. I appreciate it. >> Pleasure has been mine, sir. >> Boy, you upset me.
