Obama's Fixer Is Back In The News (Ep. 2452)

26:24This is who you're defending, Democrats?

26:32Now, I told you a long time ago, the left has made the judicial process punishment. They did it for Donald Trump, filing ridiculous charges in civil suits up in New York. All of this bullshit. Now all of a sudden you're seeing this all turn around where the process wasn't intended to be punishment. This, the process was the process before Donald Trump took office, period. However, a lot of these folks in the country illegally, this is what I voted for, CBS News. A lot of people are self-deporting now because they're like, you know what? It's not so easy anymore to come into the open borders, welfare state and collect money U.S.

27:09taxpayers work for and basically steal their money while they're in the country illegally. CBS News. I love this characterization, by the way. You see this as pathways to freedom have narrowed. There is a freaking pathway. It's called the legal immigration process, you numb nuts. As pathways to freedom have narrowed in immigration courts across the U.S., a record number of detainees are giving up their cases and voluntarily leaving the country. Good. That is exactly what we all voted for. Now we don't have to spend a whole bunch of money to get you out. You can get yourself out and try coming back the legal way.

27:45We have a pathway to freedom. My wife took it. It's called the citizenship process.

27:54Do you guys know Sean Farish? Guy's amazing. He made his name early on because he does an amazing Trump impersonation, but hey, Josh, wouldn't you agree? Like Sean is really evolved. Sean does his own show right now, does commentary. He fills in for Vince a lot. I may use him to fill in for this show on some days off. Sean has really, really evolved. I mean, this is one of the top guys I think in the business right now, and you all should follow him. Sean S-H-A-W-N Farish, like far F-A-R-A-S-H like far, ash, like ashtray. Sean Farish. Please go check him out. He filled in for Vince yesterday and he just did an amazing, amazing job.

28:40I want you to listen to this minute of his commentary because this is one of those things, again, I like to believe I'm really good at picking out stories. I miss stuff too. I can't believe I miss this. He mentions this Democrat Democrat carve out in this Immigration and the Save Act about polls. You know what? I'm just going to let him explain it. Do not miss this. I can't believe I did. Check this out. I think might have made an admission here that illegal aliens are indeed voting in our elections. The Democrats are trying to ban immigration enforcement in some very specific locations at any place of worship, at a hospital, at a school.

29:22But now they're adding one more sensitive location. Our polling places. Okay. So if illegal aliens aren't voting in our elections, then why does it matter if immigration and customs enforcement is enforcing immigration law at polling places? Because you're telling me that those who are violating immigration law aren't showing up to polling places. So it shouldn't matter. This to me right here is an admission. They're saying, yeah, all right, you're right. Illegals are voting in elections and we don't want them to get caught. So we're adding polling places as a safe zone, a sanctuary zone for illegal aliens.

29:56So you can't arrest anybody who's in the country illegally at a polling place. What is somebody who's in the country illegally doing at a polling place in the first place? The left wants ICE to stay away from polling places because they know that illegal aliens are voting in elections. I see five, six ran in the chat. Sirens, red flags. We love Sean Farish. Brad the man 2026 says I've never heard of him well now you have and he has it's Sean Farish F-A-R-A-S-H he has F-A-R-R-I-S that's not his name so yes isn't that it why would you if there were no illegals at polling locations because they can't vote then what the hell are you worried about it for folks this is such bullshit I'm telling you right now the Democrats pretending that this immigration issue is about compassion and people who want to come here to work.

30:48I'm not disputing people want to come here to work, but there's a process to come here to work. I'm going to ask Congressman Brandon Gill about this later. I guarantee you, remember this, mark my words, write them down, tattoo them on your brain. I'm not suggesting this is a good idea, but if it were to happen, imagine an alternate universe where some legislator puts out a piece of legislation and says, listen, we're going to let everyone come in the country illegally, no borders, no nothing, but there's going to be two catches. Number one, you can't get any government benefits ever for the rest of your life.

31:21They're only for American citizens right now. And second, you are not allowed to vote until the second generation. They can't vote at all. I guarantee, I'm not telling you it's a good idea. I guarantee you, absolutely guarantee you, the Democrats would say no. I thought it was about compassion. I'll bring it up later with Congressman Gill too. I thought it was about compassion. You just wanted people to live here in the United States. No, you don't. You want them to vote because of the electoral map and you want them to vote because it's going to alter election results and you want to pay them off with the welfare state to make sure they vote with you forever.

31:56And you know it. I'm going to take a quick break, but on the other side of this break. Did you see this Apple News story? Folks, I know a lot has changed since President Trump. Thank the Lord won this election. Can you imagine, by the way, in the chat where we would be right now if President Trump had not won? Do you have any idea? There'd be no rumble. There'd be no nothing. We would be basically all in handcuffs right now. I mean, the place would be a train wreck. After what we walked into there, what I saw, holy Moses, was the place a mess. and the reason it's a mess is because there's a red world and a blue world with no intersection anymore in truth none and you're going to see why in a second quick break hey last year as i said opened my eyes to a lot of things not all good a lot of them are bad but one thing i found particularly disturbing was a lot of the infighting going on we have a certain set of principles patriot mobile aligns with 100 you know what they are freedom of speech the right to life Practice your religion, petition the government, the Second Amendment, supporting our military and first responders.

33:07We got to stay focused on these things. They matter. The one company that's been fighting for our rights for a long time, they supported this program from the beginning. I know the folks that run it. It is an amazing company. It's Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile. Unlike these other mobile providers, Patriot Mobile works on all three major networks. In fact, you can be on multiple networks on the same phone. More importantly, their customers enjoy a priority service with the same or better qualities as their old providers. Guy, right? Guy loves Patriot Mobile. Milton was his customer service provider.

33:38He loves Milton. You guys should get together. We got to get Milton on the show. Patriot Mobile is 100 % U.S. I don't know if Milton's there. Paula, reach out to Glenn and see if Milton's still there. Patriot Mobile is 100 % U.S.-based customer service. He makes switching fast and super easy. Keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade. Go to patriotmobile.com slash Dan And get a free month of service with offer code Dan This company's been fighting for things we all believe in for over a decade Thank them by making the switch today patriotmobile.com slash Dan Go today That's patriotmobile.com slash Dan Thank you, Patriot Mobile And our second sponsor, Simply Save Actually, third If you're like me, you become totally desensitized Excuse me, a lot of these phone notifications we get every single day A lot of us have.

34:26We get a lot of them. Most of them are random alerts, and sometimes you just swipe. You don't even think about it. But if the latest ping is from your security camera, that's a little different. Ignoring it could spell disaster or worse. Imagine someone breaking in while you're in a meeting at work, sitting in a movie theater, or flying at 30 ,000 feet. You'll see the footage eventually, but by then, it's far too late to do anything about it. Listen, on a very serious note, I have to take my security very seriously. We've had a lot of issues, and you should too. Producer Jim just recently followed my advice.

34:56He signed up with SimpliSafe. It's a customizable home, whole home security system backed by 24-7 monitoring agents so you can rely on them to act when you can't. And I can always be able to get it. They have agents there watching it. SimpliSafe's active guard outdoor protection helps prevent break-ins before they happen. And unlike other companies, SimpliSafe has no long-term contracts. They earn your trust day after day. They're so confident in their protection, they even offer an anti-theft guarantee. Can't beat that. Right now, my listeners can get 50 % off, 5-0, 50 % off their new SimpliSafe system at SimpliSafe.com slash Dan.

35:32That's simply with an I, S-I-M-P-L-I. That's SimpliSafe.com slash, I'm sorry, SimpliSafe.com slash Dan Bongino. SimpliSafe.com slash Dan Bongino. Again, simply with an I. SimpliSafe.com slash Dan Bongino. There's no safe like SimpliSafe. All right, back to the show. Folks, I told you we live in this red and blue universe right now with no intersection at all. And I promise you, it wasn't always this way. I'm not that old, but I'm old enough. I've lived a thousand lifetimes at 51. I've made some mistakes. I've had some ups and downs. Again, wrote a whole book about it. You learn from them, whatever.

36:11You get the point. But I have been following politics for a long time. and the slow separation of America into two completely different places, I promise you, is not a good thing. And who is responsible for this and the lack of faith in institutions anymore? A lot of people. But if I had to put the tip of the spear, it's the media. The media just cannot tell the truth when it involves the Republican Party or even a Democrat that doesn't align with their far-left agenda. Did you see this report? out of, was this some media research center this came out of? This was, I got a text about it last night from Dan.

36:53They did a great job on this. Apple News is where a lot of Americans go to get their news every day. Well, folks, why would you be in a blue universe of lies rather than a red universe of truth? What was that? MRCS. MRC, great outlet, media research center. Why? Because you're reading Apple News every day and you're getting exactly zero conservative outlets to tell you the truth, to interpret what the red universe of truth even looks like. Check out this report from Fox about what's going on at Apple News. It's an eye-opener for all the wrong reasons. Check this out. All right, Apple News is being accused of purposely boosting left-wing media outlets while suppressing conservative ones.

37:32Ty Pyro is joining us with the details. Good morning, Ty. Good morning to all three of you. This all stems from a study done by conservative watchdog Media Research Center, which found that of the 620 stories that ran during high traffic morning time slots in January, the vast majority were from left-leaning outlets, while none were from conservative-leaning outlets. So why is it, I was reading through X this morning, scrolling through my timeline. I know a lot of you do this too. I enjoy X for the lifetime reaction to a lot of things. I was reading the story this guy posts, and forgive me, you know I always hat tip.

38:10I just I didn't intend on making it part of the show, but it's so important right now. Guy said, I went over my sister in law's house and I mentioned whatever it was, the border with her. And my sister's a liberal. And she like threw me out of the house. Why does that happen? Why does that happen? Why does your liberal sister in law, brother in law, whatever cousin throw you out of the house? I'm going to talk about it because they live in a blue universe where they have exactly no conservative news outlets. They see at any time to highlight actual numbers. Inflation finally coming down below expectations.

38:37Border migrant Illegals Introduced to the country, zero Violent crime at the lowest rates Ever recorded, the murder rate At the lowest rates ever recorded GDP growth, exploding Those are freaking numbers That is a presidential report card That is what you are supposed to base Your analysis of how this guy does on Whether you vote for him is up to you, it's a republic But why is your liberal sister-in-law Karen Pissed off all the time? You come over, hey, I got you a turkey sandwich Okay, turkey sandwich, throws it in your face Because she's probably watching or reading Apple News Where she's never heard the other side of the story Which, by the way, is the truth She's not going to know about this Catherine Rumler story And if she does, she goes, oh, it's a Goldman Sachs lawyer It was Obama's lawyer she was You're not going to see that anywhere You will see this, however I got this Sky News clip about this horrific shooting up in Canada.

39:43Horrible, horrible story. It was another, as we covered yesterday, apparently another act of trans-based violence, which is out of control. Out of control. But the person involved in this was a man. You can pretend to be a woman, but you are not. But remember yesterday, if you missed yesterday's show, I discussed how when Cash and I got there at the FBI, we immediately changed it. And, you know, when the whole record comes out, which it will, you'll see it yourself over time. I showed you some receipts yesterday that I could put out there. We changed the threat banding system to do an analytical product on this that had never been done before on trans violence.

40:32As a matter of fact, some, not all, but some people in the bureau didn't want to do it. And we were like, this is not a freaking question. Do it. What part of this did you think was optional? We were deadly serious about looking at this. Here's a Sky News report. Remember, this is a man pretending to be a woman. And the Sky News report, I had mentioned how this, if you're looking at the wrong problem, you're never going to find a solution. It's like, man, I can't believe this. Like a female attacker. This doesn't usually happen because it didn't. It was a man. Check this out. Say the attacker was dead when they found her.

41:15She had a self-inflicted wound and she matched the description given in an earlier police alert. Female wearing a dress with brown hair. That is extremely unusual It's rare to have a female attacker It's not a female attacker That's why it's rare Holy Moses When we got in there we said you guys got to look at this man It's not a question, do it Not all this stuff is out there I'm going to do my best to get it out there So you understand again, hold us accountable too Yes, absolutely Absolutely. Absolutely. Female attackers are rare. Yes, and they're still rare because it wasn't a female attacker.

42:03Yet if you're reading that at Apple News and elsewhere, you probably still believe it was a woman who did this. And then you're out there looking for a woman. It's not a woman.

42:16if you're reading apple news you probably also believe that now after donald trump pulled back the obama administration endangerment finding it's a little bit of a wonky story but i'm going to make it really easy for everyone to understand you probably believe if you watch an abc news or elsewhere that this is it smokestacks emitting poison into the neighborhoods everywhere now. President Trump came out yesterday and he's polluting the air and ignoring the science. Just to be clear what he did, he pulled back the Obamacare endangerment finding on CO2. Here's what happened. Very long story, extremely short.

42:552007 Supreme Court ruling on the Clean Air Act, which said greenhouse gases can be basically regulated, except the Clean Air Act never mentioned carbon dioxide ever. So this has always been controversial. Obama basically wanted to shut down the energy environment in the country for his utopian fairyland. President Trump said no more. We're getting rid of that. And that's it. Here's David. How do you say this guy's name, by the way? Anyone in the chat? Can you help me? David Muir. Muir. Muir. Muiri? Here's David Muir at ABC. Hey, listen, man. President Trump in defiance of the science. Pollution.

43:41This is the hysteria I'm talking about. Liberals probably believe this today. They're probably pulling their hair out thinking this is it. Dirty water, filthy water everywhere. Check this out. President Trump has repealed U.S. power to regulate climate in this country. The president officially rejecting the science. And what this now clears the way for. Critics tonight arguing this is not only dangerous for the environment, but for your health. for your health, folks, you're all going to die. Remember, was it Reverend Cain, Poltergeist 2, he's playing the radio? You're all going to die. That is not at all what happened.

44:19There is no scientific consensus out there you speak of with real scientists that this is an apocalyptic episode for humanity. None. You're just making that up. But again, if you're reading Apple News, You would think that the world is in chaos. Everybody's going to die tomorrow. Dogs and cats reminds me of the Ghostbusters thing. I need you to pay attention to this segment. This is important. Folks, I told you many times how much I like X. I like social media platforms a lot, not just X, but I go there. It's where I can communicate with you all. I, you know, I enjoy it. But as I've said often, and I'm always going to give you both sides, there's ups and downs to it.

45:09The problem now with information out there all the time quickly is not all of it is accurate. And it's difficult to constantly fight an asymmetric battle like the Trump administration's forced into. I think back to like, go back to Biden. Remember the whipping story at the border? Border Patrol agents were whipping. The story was total bullshit. Liberals still to this day believe that. that a bunch of Border Patrol agents on horses were whipping people. It's a fake story. It's totally, completely made up, 100 % fabricated. But because of this open media environment, which is a good net positive thing, but there are some downsides, lies travel around the world like that, and they're almost impossible to stop.

45:51And liberals believe them because Apple News won't give them the other side. The problem, folks, and I got to be careful here, but it's important I get it out there. Foreign enemies of the United States absolutely know this. There are influence campaigns foreign governments are using to make sure to magnify division in the United States, not just across parties. Listen to me. But within parties as well. That's a fact. Deny it and you're going to make a fool of yourself. Now, I have to use pretty much open source stuff here. I got to be careful about how deeply I dig into this. But when I talked about earlier in the show with Apple News, why there's a red world and a blue world, and they both believe completely separate things now.

46:44foreign governments want it that way and are amplifying that division to make sure those worlds never connect and even within the red and blue world that they want to sit there and eat each other alive every day too you see it through botting you see it through the magnification of bullshit new york post put out a story about this yesterday just citing their reporting it's about leftist groups you see how this happens this is how they magnify the vision New York Post. State Department identifies Code Pink and other far left groups as vectors of Chinese influence operations. They note Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers said partisan hacks spent years peddling the collusion hoax and turned a blind eye to the sprawling web of far left organizations who pushed the agenda of the CCP.

47:32She notes Code Pink and the People's Forum denigrate the United States, whitewash Marxism, run cover for China while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the CCP. Ladies and gentlemen, I tell you with a bevy of experience now in the space, both as a commentator and having been on the inside, it is far, far worse than this. This is just the stuff they can say publicly. So when you're on X or other platforms They are great platforms Rumble, I get it Rumble as well You know, I'm an investor there I like free speech People go on Rumble all the time They say, I hate Dan Bongino Good for you, that's what free speech is about That is what free speech is about But I just want you to understand Every platform out there is dealing with this problem I'm not telling you I hate when people say like You know, X isn't real life No, it's real life.

48:27It's absolutely real life. There are people who love and hate what you did. That's a fact. But good chunks of it are not, are artificially driven to make sure that we are at each other's throats. my audience obviously given you know thank you again the 73 000 people here right now and the millions who've watched the show i've always been comfortable that you are a really smart audience who have the discernment to figure out what's real and what isn't and i thank you for that i appreciate it folks i mentioned yesterday also the the national security environment degrading quickly in this country thank god for president trump to stop what was happening under Biden is very perilous.

49:12I don't want anyone to panic, and I'm not here to be the panic show. Be prepared. You should always be prepared. Preparedness matters. Don't, you know, if you put your, you know, you do the right thing and you put your life in the hands of God and Jesus, you're going to, you know, you're going to be okay in the end. I always say let your will be done. But you need to be prepared. God never told anyone to turn a blind eye at anything, okay? Be prepared. The national security environment is perilous. The CCP and others are taking advantage of this, trying to drive a wedge in between the United States citizenry to make sure we eat each other alive, Yuri Bezmenov style, from the inside because they can't defeat us easily from the outside.

49:53So they want us to eat ourselves alive. Guy, can you pull up the drone story at the Wall Street Journal? I'll bring this up with Congressman Gill later as well. If you missed this Wall Street Journal story yesterday, folks, you should check it out. Jillian Kay, Malchoy NATO has seen the future, talking about war and is unprepared A simulation of drone warfare shows how far the alliance has to go to learn the lessons of Ukraine Here, quick note about this piece They did a simulation about drones NATO countries In warfare, what it would look like Overall, quote, the results were horrible for NATO forces The adversary forces were quote, listen to this able to eliminate two battalions in a day so that in an exercise sense, basically they were not able to fight anymore after that.

50:44The NATO side, quote, didn't even get our drone teams.

50:51Stay on top of your government, demand accountability, but pay very close attention to foreign influence campaigns designed to divide you because the threats out there, ladies and gentlemen, drones, the threats of AI getting out of control the threats from hypersonic missiles the threats from space are real they are not artificial and when you see them you can't unsee them I addressed it with Senator Tumberville yesterday you know I say to Paul all the time after you see this stuff ignorance is bliss sometimes you can't go back and unsee it

51:28I promised you yesterday too I would address this AI blog piece that went out from a, was it, is it Matthew Schumer? Yeah, I think it's Matt Schumer. I don't know the gentleman, never met him. This thing has gone nuclear. It is everywhere. He is a guy knee deep in this whole AI evolving process. He wrote this blog post about what's going on with AI now. It is everywhere. Peggy Noonan wrote about it yesterday in the Wall Street Journal. It's all over social media, TikTok X. I saw people talking about it on Rumble. He's at Matt Schumer, S-H-U-M-E-R. Is that an underscore at the end? It's a verified account.

52:08And he's talking about basically an AI that, folks, we have a problem here. I love the productivity enhancement effects of AI. I'm not sure how the job environment's going to look. I addressed that yesterday. It hasn't had any effects yet. The job numbers went up, not down. Those are just numbers. I do numbers, okay? Opinions are great, but they got to be backed up by numbers. but he notes that you don't understand, like, keep this up, Guy. It's really important. Schumer addresses how, like, the Industrial Revolution and electricity and other things, it took a while to implement that. You had to build the power lines, the generation.

52:41You had to build the coal power plants to generate all this stuff. AI is evolving by the day. By the day. How quickly can you adapt when it's happening every day? He notes in 2022, AI couldn't do basic. Wait, scroll down again. Couldn't do basic arithmetic. By 2023, it could pass the bar exam. By 2024, it could write working software and explain graduate-level science. By late 2025, some of the best engineers in the world said they'd handed over most of their coding work to AI. He notes, on February 5th, 2026, just a week ago, new models arrived that made everything before them feel like a different era.

53:26If you haven't tried AI in the last few months, he notes, what exists today would be unrecognizable to you. Folks, I have a lot of experience using AI. I'm not an AI developer. I don't pretend to be some super tech genius. Okay, I'm not going to bullshit you. I use AI a lot because I'm very concerned about my health. Not a sob story, but you know, I went through this whole cancer thing, whatever. You get the point. Everything's good so far But I'm very concerned about my health I know I'm giving up a lot of privacy You don't have to I know a ton of you are going to send me I get it, I understand I just can't get dead, okay I monitor my blood work I take all these Signatera tests These gallery blood work tests for cancer Or Natera I take these full body I get these full body MRIs I don't want to die, you don't either when you get cancer it scares the shit out of you I poured this stuff into an AI system and I use it all the time but I'm going to tell you something I don't know what's going to happen with that is that out there in some AI ether?

54:41is AI systems talking to each other? like hey I think this is Dan Bongino he'd asked some questions early on related to law enforcement so he sounds like that FBI guy is this guy going to die? You think he's going to die? I don't know what's out there. Is it the brave new world?

55:04It's a trade-off I'm willing to make because I don't want to die. I'm not suggesting that trade-off is right for you. It's the same discussion we had yesterday in light of the Guthrie case about these nest and ring doorbells. You have to decide in the future, not knowing with AI, facial recognition, all this other stuff, where this stuff is ever going to go. Do you want to put one of these doorbells in front of your house? That Super Bowl commercial, what was it, for Ring with finding the dog? I got to tell you, it completely backfired. It scared the hell out of a lot of people. It didn't scare me because I figured they were already doing it.

55:43And seeing from the other side the ability to use technology. Folks, you're going to have to make some very, very serious adult decisions moving forward about how much of your liberty you're willing to sacrifice for your own personal security. And you better hope and pray that the next FBI, CIA, DNI, DEA, IRS, and all of them, imagine the IRS with uncontrolled AI going to every single expenditure you make, every single American to be in jail as a tax cheat. Oh, come on. Really? Listen. Cheating on your taxes is against the law. Tax avoidance has become like a national pastime. Those are two different things.

56:28Tax avoidance is legal using legal strategies. Is there a gray area? There's always a gray area. That's why lawyers and accounts make a lot of money. You don't think AI and the government uses that? You're all going to be in jail. Folks, this stuff is happening now, now, now, now. It's not happening tomorrow. It's happening now. These tools are out there. Cash and I told everyone, and I hear a lot of commentary on TV, and I don't like knocking other commentators, but some of these people don't know shit. I heard one of them a couple days ago talking about all this AI stuff. Cash and I had very severe restrictions on the use of AI in criminal cases and how it was going to be used because there were issues gotta be careful man there's a lot going on man a lot a lot going on behind the scenes but you get bad actors in there it's going to be real trouble ring doorbells tax records you pour this in every single american would be a criminal if you want ai to find something you did wrong you've heard the example before i hate using this example but it matters everyone's ripped the mattress tag off.

57:42All right, whatever. That's probably an exaggeration. However, I promise you, you get AI pouring through tax records, going through ring doorbell records, and probing the internet for every single thing you've ever posted on social media, Reddit, Tumblr back in the day, everyone's going to be a criminal.

58:00Ups and the downs. There's going to be massive productivity enhancements. The wealth created from this is going to be like nothing you've ever seen. Your kids are going to live in a world where cancer is probably cured Where Alzheimer's, there's mitigation techniques Your kids are going to live in a world where traffic patterns are instantly updated Because of automatic AI, not even going to put their hands on the wheel All of a sudden you're going to see traffic not dissipate but significantly impacted Driverless cars Chemical sciences, materials, new materials you've never seen before that conduct electricity with almost no impedance whatsoever.

58:43Elon talking about space-based data centers that use the power of the sun and don't need as much cooling. Your kids are going to be so rich, but let's not bullshit people. Your kids are going to be living in a world where everybody is watching all the time. Everybody.

59:04You don't want them in handcuffs. Be very careful. How you vote. All right. A couple of things I wanted to get to as well. I'll address this with Congressman Gil too. Folks, we talked about a topic yesterday that lit up the... I get a lot of emails about the show. I got a ton on this. This is a very controversial topic, but I have to address it because the two are related. The filibuster and the SAVE Act. If we all can't vote in elections we trust are free and fair. Free meaning people who are eligible to vote can vote, obviously fair, meaning who you voted for is who you voted for and the outcome is fair.

59:41Not hard to figure out. If we can't trust that our elections are real and the Democrats who said they were cheated out of every election ever until President Trump won and then it changed, how dare you guys talk about stolen elections? They're so full of shit. The SAVE Act where we'd implement national voter ID is unanimously supported by every racial demographic, Democrats, Republicans, everyone, the Democrats are out of arguments about it. If we don't have this, folks, if we don't have it, we're going to be in a world of trouble going forward. Because the Democrats love cheating. They just do.

1:00:12They love open borders, they love the welfare state, and they love cheating in elections. That's just a fact. The only way to get it passed is going to be to drop the filibuster. Listen to me. They are going to, if they take power after the midterms, the Senate. Remember this show. Guys, can you remember the flag it? Have we done flag it yet? Chad, get on this. We need you guys. Flag it in the chat. What's the date today? February 13th? Is it Friday the 13th? Friday the 13th? Oh, my gosh. Friday the 13th. I was waiting for Jason Voorhees to pop in here. Flag it in the chat. Thank you. We haven't done that in a while.

1:00:49If the Democrats take power in the Senate, they are going to drop the filibuster within probably a couple months, or they're going to make a hard effort to do it. Can't predict the future. They're going to make a hard effort to do it, to get rid of the filibuster. We might as well do it now. Pass the SAVE Act and make sure we have free and fair elections Where we have a good shot at winning going forward Of course Obama came out against the SAVE Act Obama, you know, Catherine Rumler is fixed Her appeared in the Epstein files Everybody's suspiciously quiet all of a sudden in the media Yet here's this weird video of Obama Seemingly with no problem at all Years ago going to vote, being asked for ID This is

1:01:38How hard was that? The guy's the president of the United States Who was voting, was a candidate at the time Was he in 2012? Was that 2012? So yeah President figures it out pretty easily Hey, here's my ID It's not complicated And yet Obama's tweeting about the SAVE Act Oh man, I don't know It's a really bad idea apparently you can figure it out. What, is everyone else dumb and you were the only one smart enough, air quotes, to figure it out? We haven't used that in a while. Hat tip, Daily Wire on that one. You know, Bob is against the SAVE Act. Folks, they have no substantive argument as to why people should not be able to show who they are to buy Allegra, an allergy medication, in a store, but not to engage in the most important civic act possible, which is picking leaders for the country in a representative democracy.

1:02:33There's no argument against it. I want you to watch this. Here's Obama, by the way, at Barack Obama. Publican still trying to pass the SAVE Act, a bill to make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. What a bullshitter. How about you address the Rumler scenario? Here he is. Here he is. He has no problem. He wasn't disenfranchised, but he's smarter than you Democrats. He's really the intelligent one, figuring out how to get his freaking wallet. If I had my wallet on me, I'd show you how easy it is. Here's the great Scott Jennings on CNN. Why don't you watch this back and forth?

1:03:07I know you've seen a ton of video on this, but this one just nails it for me. You've got this liberal commentator on CNN, again, talking about people are going to be disenfranchised. They don't know what to do. I can't. And how? He's asking how. What? Explain how. How are they disenfranchised? Because when they implemented voter ID in a bunch of southern states with large black populations, black voter turnout went up, folks, went up, not down. Those are just the facts. You can look at it yourself. Check this out. Jennings does a great job here. Watch this. If you want to say that people have to prove that they are citizens, that they have to prove with a voter ID, The reality is you're layering what is a constitutional right for the American people and making it harder for people to vote in this country.

1:03:53And it's going to disenfranchise black voters. Does it concern you that you're making all these claims? You've yet to lay out how it's hurting anyone. But 76 percent of black voters think we should show an ID to vote. 80 percent of Hispanic voters. 83 percent of the American people. Are you saying that black voters are too dumb to know it's good for them? I mean, it sounds pretty kind to send out what I mean. Now, how is this related to the filibuster? Because, folks, the Save Act National Voter ID, which is a sensible, common sense, logical, rational thing to do, has passed the House. But because we need 60 votes in the Senate, not a simple majority of 51 or 50 plus Vice President Vance, because we need this, what I think is an unreasonable hurdle.

1:04:41I do not support the filibuster. I said it before, I'll say it again. I know it's a controversial take. A lot of people don't like it. It's my opinion. You're allowed to have yours too. That's how this works. The Democrats were all for getting rid of the filibuster. How do I know that? Hat tip the great Mays Moore again for picking this one out. He does a great job on X putting together these clips. Here's Hakeem Jeffries, the leader on the House of Representatives side for the crazy Dems. Here he is basically saying with Al Sharpton that the filibuster is a relic of an old racist America. They wanted to get rid of it.

1:05:14Now they don't. They're full of shit. There's no principles here. Check this out. Congressman, you tweeted yesterday that the filibuster is a racially tinged artifact of the Jim Crow era. We cannot let it stand in the way of progress. High priority issues for the American people that are being held up in the Senate right now because of the presence of the filibuster. And so a minority of senators are allowed to block progress for the majority of the American people. And that's something that has to change. These people are full of shit. I'm telling you they are going to dump the filibuster. Please remember, can you flag it again?

1:06:03A double flag in the show? They are going to the second If they take power after these midterms On the Senate side I promise you They are going full bore To dump the filibuster And if they can do it You're going to see Attempt at D.C. statehood and elsewhere To add another liberal state Flag it again Flag it again in the chat Why not just do it now Why are we playing cute with this

1:06:37Senator Tuberville was on yesterday from Alabama Running for governor, said the same thing Dump the filibuster now I know it's, well, you know Maybe we can get some sense into the Democrats They don't care about sense They tried to put Donald Trump in jail

1:06:55And of course they want to go Everything's racist to them You've heard of it, racist, everything's right The argument is kind of lost The shame of the whole thing is obviously racism is a legitimate problem that exists. That's fairly obvious. But because the Democrats call everything racist all the time, the word has almost completely lost its meaning. But you know what's really racist? Allowing people in minority neighborhoods and liberal cities to be murdered every single day by drug runners, drug slingers, gangbangers, assholes, demons, child pervs, and everything else because you want to defund the police.

1:07:30That's freaking racist. really racist and I spent the last year of my life committed to breaking down this bullshit and I told our guys, we're going in there these liberal cities, I don't really give a shit what Brandon Johnson or anyone else thinks of these liberal mayors I remember having a conversation with one of the supervisors in New York when they said, you know, when Mondami had won, in between the time he had won and swore in we don't work for Mondami We work for the Department of Justice under the guidance of the President of the United States. I don't give a shit what Mondami says. We did that open-air drug market raid.

1:08:10Like, we don't, it's great to have their cooperation. We want it. It's good. The NYPD was fantastic, by the way. But we don't work for Mondami. I got Congressman Brandon Gill coming up in about, I don't know, 15, 20 minutes or so. Excellent representative from Texas. Here he was yesterday talking about the violent crime yesterday with the attorney general, Pam Bondi, about the violent crime rate being absolutely crushed. What's racist about why don't we call racism what it is? Letting black and Hispanic citizens be preyed on by criminals and street demons. That's freaking racist. Check this out.

1:08:47All violent crime, violent crime has decreased as well as robberies. So murders, violent crime, the country is more safe now. It's fair to say, would you agree, than it was a year and a half ago under Joe Biden? Absolutely. And Director Patel is working tirelessly to catch those, I'm sure you've been seeing, on the most wanted list. He and Deputy Director Bongino from day one said, we're going to get the most wanted list. And that's what's been happening, working hand in hand with all of our agencies. I promise I did not play that because I mentioned it's Congressman Gill who's coming up. I think you get the point.

1:09:25I told you there's no heroes in D.C. I'm not I never took the job for. You know, palm fronds or to, you know, be a poster or anything, but that's not how this works. Just do the job. And that's what we did. But Congressman Gill's right. This stuff matters People are alive because of the work that happened there Now, throughout the beginning of the show We've covered amazing results Accountability matters A report card, if you fail a test That's got to be factored into your final grade If you get an A that's factored into your final grade We have to know both sides What I can't stand is a lot of the endless doom and gloom That never ever recognize the A's on the test But when you get a C, they're like Oh, this C is really bad It's going to be awful It is really bad But they also got two A's as well.

1:10:14Let's factor that into a final grade so we can get an output product reflective of what President Trump has done. Folks, we're in really good shape right now with the electorate if we can just get the message out. The Trump administration has a litany of unprecedented victories on crime, the border, the economy. We haven't seen 4 % and 5 % growth in years. Years. This tweet by OpenSourceZone, it cites an AP poll. And again, AP is not some far right-leaning polling. AP, N-O-R-C poll. Republicans versus Democrats on the issues. The economy. Republicans are doing okay. R plus five. Immigration. R plus four.

1:10:58Cost of living is a push. It's even. Here's the problem we're having. Healthcare, Democrats have a plus 12 advantage. How the hell are we losing the health care debate? I don't understand this. To the Democrats who watch my show and hate my guts, I know you do. We don't like each other. You're welcome here, too. Whatevs, do your thing. How are we losing the health care debate? I mean, this is, forgive me for the Republicans who are watching my show, which is the majority of my audience, this is not for you. Don't tune out. But this is for the Democrats and the media people. How are the Democrats leading on health care When the program you all claim to love and adore Obamacare Failed so badly at controlling costs That you had to shut down the government Because the cost exploded so much You needed more taxpayer money To subsidize the explosion in Obamacare programs That's what happened Stop bullshitting people How are the Republicans losing on this issue?

1:11:59I don't like this Republican Republican infighting and all this stuff But I gotta tell you, I don't understand this How are we not messaging this better? Obamacare failed so badly The Democrats actually shut down the government over it Because they needed more money to pay for the out-of-control spending in Obamacare That they said was going to lead to lower costs How are we losing this issue? The answer is, I'll give it to you Where am I going with this? Anyone know? Tie the show together Tie it all together Josh, any guesses? Apple News The Apple News problem The Democrats aren't reading any conservative media outlets The conservative media outlets that honestly and accurately reported That Obamacare is an abject total failure So much so that Democrats need a Pot of more money from the taxpayers to pay for it when its original claim was it was going to reduce the cost of care.

1:12:59That's the facts, Jack. If Obamacare was doing so great, why'd you have to shut down the government over it? And we're losing on health care? That's because of the Apple News problem. Amazing, even given the Apple News problem, that we're still ahead on the economy. Amazing, that's even the case. You know how good the economy has to be doing right now, all things considered, for us to be up plus five, considering every single story shitting on the Trump administration and ignoring all the good stuff, including today's inflation number coming in lower than expected? I guess it's all, by the way, because Donald Trump's like a fascist or a monarch or a king or something like that.

1:13:41No kings, remember? He's a Nazi fascist. Every single bullshit rhetorical trick they use. Here's an interesting interview. Did you guys see this yesterday? If you did, forgive me, but if you didn't, you're in for a little bit of a treat. Here's Caitlin Collins from CNN talking about, you know, this fascist monarch Donald Trump and all that. Actually, I'm just messing with you. It's none of that at all. Caitlin Collins from CNN, can we all agree, does not like President Trump at all? Caroline Leavitt or anyone else? This is one of your people, Democrats. One of your people, a liberal opinion commentator.

1:14:22Here she is talking about the fascist monarch Donald Trump and how they treat the press. Oh, this is awful. Really? Check this out. They came up and they said, OK, well, you can't come into the next event, which was like two minutes later. And I was like, that's not how this works. I go into the U.S. press and they were like, well, you're not coming in. And I could see them like whispering and pointing about me. And some of the younger White House staff that are with the press weren't really sure what to do. And they went to Caroline. And to her credit, she said, no, Caitlin's coming in with the rest of the U.S.

1:14:55press. And we went in. And so it didn't become this huge issue because obviously if I had not been allowed in, you know, this is something that has happened with the North Koreans when the president visited the DMZ and Sarah Huckabee Sanders was the press secretary. And so to her credit, she without a doubt was like, no, you're coming in. Right. Which I do think is important in that moment, especially when you're kind of the U.S. contingent abroad. Listen, I want to be fair on this show. I mean, you know, we use a bit of humor. It's, I always say, edutainment, like the Boogie Down Productions album, educational entertainment.

1:15:26I don't want to bore you for two hours. You know, I want to keep you entertained while we all learn something together. But what's fair is fair. I don't like Caitlin Collins. She doesn't like me. That's fine. I mean, she most assuredly doesn't like President Trump or Caroline Levitt, but it's good to hear that take. she's talking about Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Caroline Levitt defending the right to a free press overseas doesn't sound like a freaking fascist to me she asks a hostile question which she's allowed to do she's allowed to do that freedom of the press matters and you've got Caroline coming in there saying no no no she's allowed to ask that question she comes in here and Sarah Huckabee Sanders and um I'm not sure that was Sarah Huckabee Sanders I think it was someone else actually in North Korea I remember that clip.

1:16:16We used it. That was that. Was it Stephanie, that lady? It doesn't matter. The point is, across 45 and 47, two Trump administrations, the fascist president seems eager to take questions from a hostile press. He's done 500 press avails. Does that sound like a monarch or a fascist to you? Or maybe you're just full of shit.

1:16:40We'll take a break in a second, and we'll get to Congressman Brandon Gill. But folks, I have, you may hate me for this. You can flame it in the chat if you want. I'm open to it. I'm sorry, but I can't watch the Olympics anymore. Guy, Justin, have you, honestly, have you watched it all? No? I can't do it. I swear to you it's not from a lack of interest. You know, growing up, you remember, like, you'd watch the Christy Yamaguchi and the figure skating, And, you know, it was a go USA at the miracle on ice. Well, I'm Sean White. Yeah. I mean, you know, it was interesting stuff. It's not from a lack of interest.

1:17:22I just, I can't, I don't know. Maybe I'm the bad guy here. I love this country more than anything. I just like, Josh, you watch any of the Olympics? You just walked out. Okay. That's weird. Oh, for four here. I just can't understand if you choose to rock the U.S. colors. Why you can't just go and unify the country and say, hey, guys, politics aside, no, I'm here to perform snowboarding, speed skating. You know, I'm not here to comment on ice issues. No pun intended. Immigration, obviously, not ice. I'm not here to comment on that. It's not my area of expertise. I'm here to represent my country, Democrats, Republicans, whatever you are.

1:18:04Why can't I don't understand like why we need Olympians saying stupid shit all the time. Not all of them. Some of them have been great. Nobody cares about your political opinions. People care about my political opinions because it's a political commentary show. If it was a sports show doing an ice hockey thing, I'm not going to get into what's happening with the New York City situation with the legalization of marijuana. That's not what the show is about. The show with the Olympics is about a unifying effort through sports to represent your country. Here is a little quick video montage, again, of Olympians ruining shit, and they gotta talk shit all the time.

1:18:45Some, not all. Check this out. I feel heartbroken about what's happened in the United States when, you know, I'm pretty sure you're referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little hard. If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S. What's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear. It's been a hard time for the community overall under this administration trying to fight for our human rights.

1:19:25And now especially It's not just affecting the queer community But many other communities Can you just play the sport man? Justin said one of those guys is a curler Not like barbell curls You know curling Great, looks like fantastic, whatever Just go curl bro But just do us one favor Guy will get this, he's a crossfitter Never curl in the squad rack. Reiki, that is heresy. Obviously, two different things, but you get the point. The curl of it. Nobody. Just play the sport. Lovely. Paula just walked in. Hello, Miss Paula. Good to see you. She's back. Company president. Take it over. Everybody's like on their game now.

1:20:22So Josh, just tighten up. Be careful. The law's in. Paula, the law's in town. The law. Josh just stiffened right up. Everybody's like on it now. All right, last break. And Congressman Brandon Gill, this guy is a rock star. He's been doing great, great work. We like to highlight up-and-coming politicians. And, you know, we don't lionize anyone on the show, but people are doing good work. Great. Let's get the report card together. Hey, while everyone was focused on the Halftime Show, one of the largest U.S. military buildups in decades that's been going on in the Middle East. I've warned you over and over about pending national security crises everywhere.

1:21:00Space, hypersonics, the attack on industrial control systems we might have in this country, the threat to the grid. These are all very real. Again, there's no reason to panic, but there is substantial reasons, more than one, to be prepared. Folks, unfortunately, in a world full of fallible people, things happen. Bad things happen all the time. floods, hurricanes, wars, the Russian invasion in Ukraine surprised a lot of people. Be prepared. I need you to be prepared today and use the company I use. When you're prepared, you can reduce your anxiety level. And I don't want you to panic, but I'd like you to head over to preparewithdan.com.

1:22:18Preparewithdan.com. Go there today to preparewithdan.com.

1:22:32What an absolute pleasure to welcome to the show. A rising star, to say the least, up in Congress. He, you know, he never screams or yells. He just surgically like eviscerates stupid liberal talking points up on Capitol Hill, Texas 26th Congressional Representative Brandon Gill. Brandon, it's an honor to have you. Thanks for everything you've been doing up there. Dan, it's good to be here. So let's get right to it. I know, again, you're busy like everyone else up there. There was a report yesterday in the Wall Street Journal about an area of concern during my time over the past year really kind of, you know, lit my candle.

1:23:07It's this growing drone threat. We saw with spiderweb, the Russia-Ukraine war. This is a huge threat. There was a NATO exercise I covered earlier in the show. They did a NATO exercise about drones. It did not end well. We basically got wiped out. It was ugly. Up on the Hill, is there a sense of urgency about this problem? I've worked with members like you and others, but I don't really hear this big outcry, like, hey, guys, this is a serious problem. Yeah, I mean, I think that there's a growing awareness that the way war is conducted is shifting pretty rapidly, especially over the past five years or so.

1:23:44And the goal for military procurement in the United States and for military readiness should be to be able to fight the war that we could be fighting five or 10 years from now. And that's going to include, of course, drone warfare. It's something we saw that we've been seeing in Ukraine and Russia for quite some time now. So I think that there's definitely an awareness and a knowledge that this is something that we've got to get a lot more on top of, you know, just broadly speaking. I know Secretary Hegseth is all over and has been working with members to procure money on it. So like I said, I just, this terrifies me and it keeps me up and I listen, I sleep no matter what.

1:24:21I'm just telling you, this is the kind of thing that really bothers the hell out of me. Something you have been working on just daily, I've seen a litany of social media posts. I've seen you speaking out loudly about this, this absurd, outrageous, potentially nation destroying fraud if we go bankrupt going on in Minnesota. You have been all over this story. I know at the FBI, we had a closing in on over 200 arrests. The investigation's ongoing. The DOJ has sent special teams of U.S. attorneys out there. But I mean, I think we have to be candid about this. I know you've been on this. Without legislative support to cut these programs off, we're just we're Charlie Brown kicking the football, Congressman.

1:25:06I mean, if the money is going to flow out by the trillions, the FBI only has 12000 agents. How many people are you going to test to go find a trillion dollars in fraud? Yeah, I think that's exactly right. And, you know, the fraud that we've seen just in Minnesota, just use that as an example. I think that's really just the tip of the iceberg. You likely have similar scale, if not bigger, in California and Ohio and other states, particularly where you have large Somali communities that's closely related to what we saw in Minnesota. But the problem is twofold. One is that you've got, we've had open borders for four years under Joe Biden, letting in millions of people completely unvetted.

1:25:45But you add on top of that a large number of asylum claimants who have come into the United States like these Somali immigrants. You put that on top of the fact that you've got a welfare state that has very little vetting, very little controls to make sure that money is actually going to the people that it should be going to. So you've got programs that are administered by states that are funded by the federal government where the states have very little incentive to ensure that these aren't being fraudulently run. And the loser in all of this is the American taxpayer who's seeing billions and billions and billions of dollars just being stolen from us with very little accountability.

1:26:23So you're exactly right. We need a legislative solution. And it's going to have to combine immigration enforcement and immigration reform. And by reform, I mean reducing immigration with, on the other hand, a complete restructuring, I think, of the welfare state. We're talking to Congressman Brandon Gill, if you're listening on audio, represents Texas District 26. Congressman, it was Milton Friedman who said you can't have open borders and a welfare state. I would prefer neither. I know you would, too. But if we're absolutely stuck because it's not a monarchy and we've got to deal with liberal Democrats who will spend every freaking dime they get in and then borrow 10 more, I would rather at least shut the border down if we're stuck with this welfare state.

1:27:08So what it's just kind of harping on what you just said, at least we would stem the tide of people that use that as a magnet to come here for freebies on the working U.S. taxpayer. Yeah, that's exactly right. And again, the American taxpayer and American citizens are the ones who lose. You know, we used to have a few certain principles in American immigration policy that were that were followed. And one of them is called the public burden doctrine. And it just says you cannot immigrate into the United States and be a public burden. And in other words, if you're going to come in here, we need to know that you can be self-sufficient.

1:27:44You're not going to cross our borders, immigrate into the United States, and then have American citizens pay for your food and your housing and your medical care and all kinds of other welfare programs. That simply doesn't work. To your point, as Milton Friedman pointed out, you can't have both a welfare state and open borders. And I agree with you. We shouldn't have both. So that's the first principle. The second principle, I think, is one of cultural assimilation. And that's something that we used to follow for many years in the United States, which is that if you come into the United States, you are expected to adopt our culture, our customs, our way of life, all of the things that make America the envy of the world, all the things which I think are the foundation of why so many people want to move into the United States from so many other countries.

1:28:28And we found with the Somali population in particular, that even after being in the United States for 10 years or longer, Somali immigrants in Minnesota, only about half of them speak English very well. And I think that English proficiency is a pretty good proxy for cultural assimilation. So we're finding that these people are not assimilating. And if you have people who are coming into the United States who are paying for their welfare and they're not assimilating, and by the way, they commit crimes at higher rates than American citizens do, I think that makes a compelling case to say, listen, you know, the purpose of our immigration system is to benefit our people.

1:29:06This doesn't benefit our people. Therefore, we shouldn't allow mass migration from Somalia. it. Congressman, also, the points you just made are not in any way controversial to a logical, reasonable actor in this debate. There's nothing you said there even remotely controversial. I think you'd make the case yourself, too. It's not even groundbreaking. Hey, we should speak English. Why? Because that's how people freaking communicate. This isn't hard. And when you look at the data, When you look at the data longitudinally over time about what the genesis of large outbreaks of terrorism and pockets of poverty are, you see a couple of things.

1:29:46Linguistic fractionalization, the presence of jungle and mountain type environments where people sometimes get segregated. That's more on the poverty side. They get segregated and they don't get to be in that incubator of ideas. This is data. This is actual observational science over time. Yet when you look at the liberal Democrat approach, which you just roundly refuted, hey, speak whatever language you want. Your culture is great. Make sure you stay in these pockets of people and never assimilate with any others. You're just basically putting this in a witch's brew of poverty where the guaranteed stew that comes out of it is going to make you poor and potentially potentially lead to a national security problem later on.

1:30:27Yeah, that's exactly right. What this sort of multicultural utopian nonsense that the left pushes really means is just the balkanization of America. You know, we are one nation under God, which means we have one culture, one heritage, a common conception of what our history was like, a common vision for what our future should be. And the only way that you can have it, the only way you can have a coherent culture is through assimilation. And the most basic part of that, as you mentioned, is being able to communicate with each other. If I can't talk to you, it's very, very difficult for us to have really a sort of a common vision together as to what life should be like in the United States.

1:31:08So that's what we're going for. And again, that's something that we've that we've adhered to for a long time in American immigration policy. And we've moved away from that recently. But we want to have a country that is coherent, that is that is strong. And again, balkanization does not make us stronger, allowing in millions of people and allowing them to form distinct enclaves all over the country where they speak their own language, where they adhere to their own social system that's separate from the rest of the country, definitively weakens America on so many different levels. congressman i put up earlier in the show some polling where republicans are ahead uh and by the way it was a liberal polling outlet uh i'm not questioning the numbers i'm just saying there's obviously not a partisan slant in our conservative direction and it had republicans ahead by a lot on a lot of key issues they're still getting hammered on health care which i believe is bs we are the only ones trying to get obamacare raised the cost of health care so much they shut down the government because they needed more taxpayer money to fund this abomination of a program.

1:32:18But you see it up on the screen there, the economy, Republicans plus five, immigration, Republicans plus four, obviously getting hurt a little bit on health care. It's AP, so it's not, again, a conservative polling outlet. What's the feeling up on Capitol Hill? I know the doom and gloom in the media. I heard it, but the inflation numbers just came out right before this interview. They came out lower. Yes, lower than expected. I played a clip earlier in the show of you and A.G. Bondi, violent crime, crime rates at an all time unprecedented low, the murder rate at all time low. Again, we've got respect back overseas, maybe not the approval of the EU, which I don't care about.

1:32:57But you see NATO spending going up. I mean, this has really been a golden age of politics for both the MAGA movement and conservatism. So I don't get I really don't. I genuinely don't understand the doom and gloom out there. All we got to do is get better at the messaging. The results are there. And that's exactly right. And I think that Republicans recognize we're the party of law and order. What we saw under Joe Biden was completely lawless chaos at the border. And it's overturned completely transformed communities across the country, like what you see in Minneapolis is just one of many examples.

1:33:33What we want to do is preserve the America that we know and love. So when it when it comes to immigration enforcement, you know, I think that most Republicans recognize that this is not an issue that we can back down from. This was the biggest issue of the past election cycle. And I think that that's why we're still polling well with that, is that the American people want a border that's enforced. They want deportations. They want criminals out of our country. And frankly, most Americans want every single illegal alien who came across the border under Joe Biden's four years out of our country and deported.

1:34:06I certainly do. because Americans want to live in a country that is America, that hasn't been transformed. But we also recognize that there are political implications of this as well, that the policy of open borders was specifically to impact congressional apportionment. In other words, whenever the census goes out every 10 years and decides how many congressmen each state has allotted, it's based on the number of people in a state. So whenever you have blue states who are sanctuary states or sanctuary cities, that are bringing in millions of illegal aliens, they get benefits by getting more congressional representation than red states.

1:34:46I mean, it is like a way of systematically rigging our elections in favor of the Democrats. I'm sorry for the sound effects in the background. I just thank God you get this problem. And I am not using the Lord's name in vain. We need advocates like you to be talking about this. Folks, the open border immigration policy, as Congressman Brandon Gill just articulately stated, I promise you has nothing to do with compassion. Congressman, I'll make you a bet. If you, not that anyone would do this, but if some Republican tomorrow put out a bill and said, we'll allow every single illegal immigrant to come into the country forever.

1:35:24Here's a couple of things. They can't get benefits and they'll never be able to vote. The Democrats will be like, I will never. I really thought it was about compassion. You wanted people to come here, right? They are full of what's in a baby's diaper. They're full of it. This is all about the House of Representatives being roughly 700 ,000 people per district. People are evacuating blue states because they stink to move to your state in Texas, which is getting more representatives, which affects the electoral college, not just the House, and the presidential election, too. That's all this is about, is backfilling the empty gas tank they have as people evacuate their blue states.

1:36:02I'm so glad you see this problem. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And you know, if it weren't for illegal immigration, Republicans would have several more seats in Congress right now. And just imagine what that difference is going to be in 2030 after, which is after the, you know, four years of open borders under Joe Biden. You know, and in the meantime, Democrats are making the bet. And this is why they're so opposed to the Save America Act, that we've got unsecure elections that in so many blue states and even in some, you know, more purple states, you don't even have to show an ID to vote.

1:36:32So if you've got millions of people in here, and you've got presidential elections, who can be swayed by just a few few thousand votes in key districts and key swing states, that illegal alien population can have a significant even short term impact on our election system by allowing those people to vote, which they do. You know, whenever you don't have voter ID laws, whenever you don't have real checks on our election system, you're essentially allowing illegal aliens to vote if they want to, if they want to break the law. So that's the other sort of component to this. And of course, you know, long term, you hear Democrats talking about amnesty for illegal aliens.

1:37:09And the goal there is so that they can vote and so that Democrats can say, well, we'll give you amnesty and in exchange, you vote for us perpetually. We'll see if that's a play that actually works. But that is the game plan. And you know, this is something that this is not a right wing conspiracy theory. Democrats have been talking about this for decades now. You hear them all the time. Demographic changes benefit Democrats at the expense of Republicans. I mean, the sort of the political Bible that Democrats have followed is a book called The Emerging Democratic Majority. It was written in the early 2000s.

1:37:44And the thesis of the book is that demographic changes will create, as the title implies, a new democratic majority for several decades. I mean, this is in their words. I mean, they're the ones who talk about all of this, but I think we need to hear them. And whenever they say something, actually believe it and recognize what the plan is. I want to say also, I'm really just elated that you brought that up too. We used to play before I left for government service over and over. And what was like a two-minute montage of Democrats talking about exactly what you just said. Demographic destiny. There was a headline, Congressman, in the New York Times.

1:38:24We can replace them. And then when you say, hey, guys, what are you talking about this replacement theory? You're a racist. I'm just quoting you idiots. That's not us talking about it. It's you. We used to play this montage and all the goofballs in Media Matters. They would never cover it because it was their words talking about it. Last question for you. I sincerely appreciate your time. You're a real rising star up there. And it's great to have people like yourself having given us all a voice. The filibuster. I know you're on the House side. I understand. Obviously, the audience does as well.

1:38:56However, you're a representative in a prominent state. I had Senator Tommy Tuberville on yesterday. Here's my take. I'm open to a good back and forth on it. The Democrats are going to wipe the filibuster out anyway. They've talked about it. Manchin's gone. Cinema's gone. They were the really only objectors. it's going to happen. If we could get rid of the filibuster, we could get the SAVE Act through, we could make permanent, more substantial tax cuts. We could do a ton of things, border security, all kinds of things on the national security front. But there's a variety of different opinions. I think Mike Lee feels a little differently about it on the speaking filibuster side, but everybody's got an approach.

1:39:33Again, I know you're on the House side, but your general thoughts on that? Well, the founding fathers intended the Senate to be the deliberative body, the body that would take bills from the House and debate them extensively and make sure that, you know, what they're actually doing conforms to the Constitution and is good for the American people. So what I'd like to see the Senate do is actually debate bills. They'll have a real filibuster. Right now, the way the filibuster works with that 60 vote threshold that's needed for cloture is in cloture means ending debate. And that's what allows the Senate to vote on an actual bill, the actual content of the piece of legislation.

1:40:09But right now, all senators have to do is threaten to go to the House floor and filibuster, or to the Senate floor, excuse me, and filibuster, threaten to say, I'm going to speak for 24 hours or whatever to stop a bill from coming to a vote. I say, if they're going to threaten to do it, make them actually do it. Go to the Senate floor, for instance, on the Save America Act, and explain to the American people for days or weeks on end why voter ID laws are bad. Let them make that case, because that's an argument that we will win, by the way. The American people are with us. But I think that that same principle applies for any bill.

1:40:44You know, if you're actually, if you actually want to hold up legislation, then explain it to the American people, do a real filibuster, the way the Senate, I think, is supposed to operate. And if that happens, we would be able to get the Save America Act through. The Democrats may filibuster, they'll do it for a few days. But eventually, you know, there's only so long you can stand on the Senate floor and speak nonstop, which is how the rules work. And we've been, we would be able to get that legislation through. But I think that's how the Senate should operate. If you want to be the deliberative body, then actually deliberate things.

1:41:16Yeah, that's that might be an interesting take. You know, Reagan always said, you know, take 80 percent, come back for the other 20 later. Maybe that's the compromise. Fascinating take. Again, I understand you're on the House side, but your voice matters in this debate. I'm not on either side anymore. So, you know, on the outside, it's just my opinion. I just think they're going to wipe it out anyway. We're going to be in a lot of trouble. But Congressman, you've been doing amazing work on this fraud, tragic fraud scenario in Minnesota. As you mentioned, all over the country, not just in Minnesota.

1:41:46I really appreciate it. You're one of our first guests, and we picked them for a reason. We wanted really good conservative voices. Best of luck to you in your reelection effort. I think you're going to be A-OK. But if you want to support them, folks, look them up. Brandon, B-R-A-N-D-O-N-G-I-L-L, Brandon Gill, Texas 26. Check them out. Congressman, thanks so much for your time. We really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. It's an honor to be with you. You got it. Great guy. I've known the congressman, you know, open and transparent for a while. And I'm telling you, he is absent the congressional work he's been doing, an extremely upstanding and high character individual.

1:42:27I personally can vouch for. He's just an amazing guy. So go check him out. Give him a follow. And like I said, I'm a little bit more of a yeller and screamer. I'm trying. I've been working on it for 51 years. He just surgically eviscerates liberal stupidity all the time. And it is just a pleasure to watch. And you can see he's very intellectual when it comes to making the arguments for these cases. Folks, another amazing week. Tens of millions of views on Rumble.
