Welcome to another episode from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas, where we dive into the latest political happenings with a no-holds-barred approach. On tonight's show we cover the aftermath of President Trump's recent speech to Congress, which has sparked significant reactions, particularly from the Democratic side. We discuss the heckling incidents during the speech, highlighting the political tensions and the contrasting behaviors between parties.
We also delve into the financial implications of illegal immigration on major U.S. cities, with mayors from sanctuary cities revealing staggering amounts spent on services for illegal immigrants. This segment underscores the ongoing debate about immigration policies and their impact on local economies.
In a lighter segment, we touch on the humorous yet insightful commentary from Scott Jennings on CNN, who brings a unique perspective to discussions about government spending and economic policies.
Additionally, we explore the potential abolition of income tax payments to the IRS, a bold move being considered by the Trump administration, which could reshape the financial landscape for American taxpayers.
Finally, we discuss the ongoing efforts to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, with updates on the construction of the border wall and the significant drop in illegal crossings since President Trump took office. This episode is packed with insights, critiques, and a call to action for listeners to engage with the political process.

Alright. Hey, folks. This is Joe Rusciello. It is great to be with you once again right here at the Asylum Studios, broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass, and we are going to do the best we can to bring you the best quality political talk radio that we can muster without all the bluster. Welcome to the podcast. Alright, folks. Well, it's been a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy couple of days. Last night, we talked a lot about, President Trump's, speech, the joint session of Congress. Folks are calling it a State of the Union, it really was not. But, you know, if you're a liberal, you don't understand those things, so that's par for the course, and that's okay.
But we are here with you tonight, and we're gonna talk a little bit about some of the things that took place, after the, joint session of Congress speech, which, by the way, was a great speech. I don't, you know, I don't know if you guys had a chance to to to listen to it, whether you saw it live or whether you just got clips, you know, from shows like ours or or elsewhere, or if you, caught, like, a a replay of it. I know that on Rumble, they were broadcasting a replay of it, on RBN, I think it was. But definitely worth the watch. You should definitely check that thing out. Where's the remote for the up top fan there? It's a little too much. There we go.
Alright. That should be better. But, it, it was a great speech. We talked a lot about it last night. I think the majority of the show was about, about the speech. So, we're not gonna belabor it too much tonight, but there are a few things that have taken place. You remember the, the GEICO caveman, Al Green, a representative from, district in Houston, had to be, escorted out by the sergeant of arms because of the constant interruptions. The heckling that took place of the president last night was just ridiculous. Democrats are completely unhinged. And, I I really do when I say I I say frequently that, you know, liberalism is a mental disorder. It really is.
It it truly is. Some folks were talking today about how, well, you know, the Republicans also, you know, they heckled Joe Biden, yet, twice. Twice. Do you know how many times, president Trump was interrupted yes, night before last with, with heckles? 33 times. 33 times compared to two. That's a bit much. And of course, you had the you had the staged, semi outrage protest, you know, ping pong paddles they were waving around there, you know, preprinted stuff. Yeah. Really organic, you know, absolutely organic. But, but, but, yeah, it it was a great speech, and there was a lot of headway made on it. It it laid out a a beautiful picture of the direction that President Trump wants to take, the American Union going forward the next four years and and hopefully beyond four years. We're hoping that, that, you know, that JD Vance will pick up the pick up the flag and carry it on, after president Trump serves out his his last four year term.
And, and who knows? You know, we may make we we may get twelve years of, of of solid conservatism. You look you look at the bench that the Republican Party has right now, it's it's just it's it's it's a really, really deep bench. You have a lot of brilliant minds on the Republican side, and it's, it's gonna be very interesting to watch how all of these things develop over the, over the coming years. But, again, we got a lot to talk about tonight. I think we have, how many clips did we pull for tonight? Let's see. We have, just a couple more than we did last night. So we had we have 15 clips for tonight, and, we had a we have a bunch of graphics that we're gonna be putting up too. We're gonna try to figure this out because, you know, I use the the rumble studio, and, even with the glasses, I'm kinda blind.
So it's it's hard to see the small print on the screen. You know, I have a monitor about, two arms lengths away from me, where I, you know, have everything listed up there. So it's hard for me to see some of the overlays, so that's why we get a little confused when we do them because you can't label the overlays for some reason. But, you know, the, the video clips, you can. So we have those all labeled. We're ready to go with that one. But before we get into the rest of the show, what we're gonna do right now is we are going to, what did I do? Okay. Let's go back here. Now I have everything there we go. Sorry.
We are going to let's see. Do just a couple of quick things here. Alright. There we go. Got it fixed. Alright. So we're gonna do a couple of quick things here before we get started. Basically, just some housekeeping stuff like we always do. So I'm gonna ask you to do just a couple of things. Just head over to our website, first of all, and, go over to our contact section, open up the web form, and, send us over a message. Let us know whatever's on your heart, whatever's in your mind. Any questions, comments, cares, concerns that you have, any suggestions that you might have. If you want me to shut up, just say that. I'm not gonna listen to you, but shut up. You can tell me that. That's fine. You can also drop comments here in the live chat on Rumble or comment right down there below us.
We'll make sure we get to those. The difference is is that the live chat disappears when the show ends and the comments stay forever. Well, until we delete them. But, but, definitely leave us a comment. Let us know what you're thinking, any questions or comments that you have. Also, don't forget when you get to the website, look for the support button, and just remember that this is a value for value podcast. And all that basically means is that, if you're receiving any value from what we're doing here, we're asking that you return that value in the form of a donation, and it could be in any amount. You could also donate your time, your talent, in addition to your treasure. We call that the three t's, your time, talent, treasure.
Time, self explanatory. Maybe you, maybe you have extra free time on your hands where you could help us to do research and, put together show notes and and so on and so forth. We could really help, you know, use some help with that. You know, mostly because I work a a full time forty hour week job on top of doing podcasts three to five nights a week. So it's, sometimes it gets a little hard to, to put everything here together, but I'm hoping that, somebody could step up and and help us out with that. Also, if you have a talent, like, maybe you, maybe you write music, maybe you can write a bumper for us, maybe you could, maybe you have a good reading voice, maybe you could read a script for us, or maybe you have, the ability to run a board, you know, mixing board. It takes something off our hands here while we're doing the show, because don't forget, I'm just here by myself 99.99% of the time.
So it's, it would be very, very helpful if someone had that type of a talent or skill that they could donate to us. And then, of course, your treasure. And again, that could be a one time donation in any amount. You can donate, Satoshis, which is a micropayment of Bitcoin or while it's up there on the support page, you can just click that little button there and send those things over. We always appreciate those. Also, you can get into one of our donation clubs, our monthly recurring donation clubs. We have, we have three of them. One of them is the associate producer club. You can get into that by, making a monthly recurring donation of $17.76.

Also, we have our producers, credit or producers club, which you can get into for $18.36 a month. That's a recurring monthly contribution. Same deal. Shout outs included in all the show notes. And then we also have our executive producer credit. And that is for a monthly recurring donation of $25 or more per month. You get all of the benefits of the other two, the the shout out, the inclusion, and all the show notes and emails, and and and so forth. But you're also gonna get the opportunity to have a guest spot on the podcast.
So, maybe a little incentive for you. You saw how it worked out when we had Wayne, our, one of our executive producers here with us in the studio, actually, flew down from Washington just to help us out, which was a which was a great great time we had fellowship. We had a great it was a great blessing to have him here. It was a big help to us. And, so, you know, you have a lot of options there for you where you can help us out. So if you would consider those donations, help us keep the lights on, help us keep this whole thing going, And, we look forward to, being able to work with you in that way.

We can sip our coffee, and enjoy our evening together. Alright. So a lot of things, like I said, I wanted to talk to you about tonight. So, I'm pretty sure you guys remember, what had happened last night at, or the night before rather, at, at the, joint session of congress, speech that president Trump made. It started off with, of course, you know, the the Democrats ignored president Trump coming in. They wouldn't shake hands, wouldn't acknowledge. All they did was hold up little stupid signs like, this isn't right, and, Elon steals, and and, you know, all that nonsense, like childish nonsense. But then it got even more interesting, and, we played this clip last night, and we played it again tonight just to kinda refresh your memory.
During at the opening of the speech, President Trump, of course, announced that America was back.
[00:17:17] Unknown:
He started going into the speech, and then, this happened. Let's click one. Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions.
[00:17:29] Unknown:
Jack O'Caveman.
[00:18:06] Unknown:
Mister Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
[00:18:54] Unknown:
And he's still going waving the cane.
[00:19:01] Unknown:
Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the house. Mister president, you continue. Thank you.
[00:19:11] Unknown:
Alright. So, so you remember that that happened that, at the speech. And, so today, the house voted to, to censure representative Al Green, after his removal from president Trump's, joint address to the congress on Tuesday night. And, interestingly, the, the measure actually passed with, believe it or not, 10 Democrats voting with Republicans to support it. Even Green voted himself present. You know? So, you know, but this is what the Democratic party has has devolved to. You know? I I said I said last night that, you know, the Democratic Party, you know, if if you're in my age group or over, okay, I'm I'm in my fifties, so, so if you're older than that, my age older, you know, the Democratic Party has changed dramatically over the over the last, twenty, thirty years.
It's become far far more socialist, far far more communist, far far more to the left, and, this is not the same Democratic party that you might remember from JFK, you know, and and and following. So, you know, things have definitely changed. I mean, they become the party of of childishness. Okay? And, it's it's it's a terrible, terrible, terrible example of of American politics, of what they've become. And just to just to highlight that, you know, and just to show you just how little regard the Democrats actually have for the American people, the American taxpayer. You know, you have Doge out here doing all this work, and trying to trim, you know, fraud, waste, and corruption, and yet you have House Democrats running around doing, music videos.
And I'm sure you've all seen this one. Well, I'm gonna play that one next, but, I'm sure you've all seen the the street fighter montage that was made. Let me let let me show you that, and then then we'll, we'll we'll we'll comment on it. But, I guess, you know, the Democrats really thought that that this video that they made, that they used, of course, taxpayer dollars to do, was going to, to to to, I guess, attract attention, or positive attention. But the only thing that's really drawn is is a lot of, a lot of mockery. You know? It it's absolutely ridiculous to look at. And folks, these these are elected representatives to the House of Representatives.
These are elected these people were elected to take a seat in the Congress, and this is how they're behaving. This is what they think is important to do, where you have so much fraud, so much waste, there's so much work to be done in their districts, and I know some of their districts. Remember I lived in New York, and one of the folks that is that that are gonna be shown in this video are, is from New York, and I know the district that that the representative, covers. So there's a lot of work to be done, and this is what they're spending their time doing. And mind you, this is what they're spending your money on.
Let's go to clip three. AOC. Looks like she was constipated. So was that supposed to impress? Is that supposed to scare people? I mean, it's scary to look at. Especially that one that was bouncing that way, it looked like she was constipated, you know? Like she's trying to push it out. Oh my, this is like the and but this is what your elected representatives are doing, and yet you people keep putting them there. I I I don't know what else to tell you. You gotta get These people need to be voted out. This is how they're spending your money. And I'll give you another example, one of the representatives you've seen in there, you had seen in there is Jasmine Crockett from from down here in Texas. You know, I mean, look, I love Texas, I I love it, I love it. I love it. Alright?
I got my cowboy hat in the other room. I got a couple of them actually in the other room. I'm wearing my boots. I love Texas. I love where I live in Texas. You know, it's a great little town. I love it. Limited in a lot of ways, but I love it. You have Al Green from Houston. You have Jasmine Crockett. I think she's from Dallas, if I'm not mistaken. I'm drawing a blank really quick. I mean, honestly, this this is the best that that you can put forward from Dallas, Houston, and really, I mean, come on. Someone needs to primary these people and get them out because this is it's an embarrassment. It's an absolute embarrassment.
So now, talk about Jasmine Crockett. So she she put together a video. I had to pause for a second. She put together a video, the night of the, of the joint address. She put it out. So it was Tuesday night, to to basically attack Donald Trump. And, look, and she's a radical, she's a racist, and and and overt racist, I mean, doesn't even hide it. And she put together with with some of her staff this this really an embarrassing video. When you see it, you'll you'll understand what I'm saying if you haven't seen it already. But it's an it's an embarrassing video that that that that basically shows herself lips lip syncing to, a Kendrick Lamar song, and, with her with her staff, and and it's it's just it's it's terrible, it's embarrassing, and and it it makes you why is this person in office?
This is the really this is the best you can do? This is the really the best you can do? Let's go to clip four.
[00:26:11] Unknown:
Clip four. Oh, no. It's a cultural divide. I'm a get it on the floor. 40 acres and a mule. This is bigger than the music. This is an elected representative They tried to rig the game, but you can't
[00:26:25] Unknown:
influence. In her congressional office Hey. I'm tripping. I'm sliding. I'm riding through the In the halls of congress, skating down the hallway. I mean, come on. Really? I mean, this woman's an idiot. An absolute idiot. Now, she does she does have a primary challenger, so I I would I would highly recommend folks you guys check out, Sheldon Daniels, for congress. He's an army veteran. He's an attorney, small business owner. He's a common sense fighter. He's he's he's and he's running to flip Texas thirty where, Jasmine Crockett is is sitting.
Alright? You guys, you gotta check him out. He has an x, he has an x, channel, or page rather called, shelled at sheldon davis. Sheldon, s h o l d o n, Daniels. I'm saying Davis, sorry. And, you you need to check him out because, you know, folks, you do need to get rid of this these types of people. This is this is such an embarrassment to American politics. You know, what the world must think when they see this crap. Absolute embarrassment. And you and you wonder why you wonder why the Democrats took such a beating in in the in the in the in the in the elections in in in '24 in '24. You know, and and honestly, I think going going forward too, I think, when the midterms comes, and and we're not we we can't get comfortable with this stuff, you know, we we we can't because anything can happen. But after seeing stuff like this, it makes you kinda wonder how the Democrats are gonna win any election going forward. You have dollar store Obama and Hakeem Jeffries, supposedly leading the party in in the house.
The party really has no leadership right now. The de facto leader of the party, I guess, would be Joe Biden. And, his brain is mush. So I guess it would fall on Obama, but he's been awfully quiet. So it it it's there's a it's a party with really no leadership, and you're seeing that. I mean, it's just running a mock. They're just they're acting like spoiled little, children that need a good spanking, to be honest with you. And I'm not offering to spank Jasmine Crockett. I mean, she's hood rat, and we don't wanna mess around with that at all. Right? Right.
Alright. I think we've covered enough of that stuff. So, as I was going through the news and going through some articles, I came across this this piece over at the conservative brief. You know, a lot of a lot of the, griping, complaining, and and and such that's coming out of out of the left has been about Elon Musk. You know, he's not elected to to, to be doing the work that he's doing and so on and so forth. But again and we've beaten this to a pulp. I I don't know how many times we talked about this already. Elon Musk is an is is appointed by the president. He's serving under the executive branch, just like Donald Trump appoints a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff. He appoints, staff to work in various departments, not all of which require confirmation through the senate, and, and and DOJ is one of those. So, he is effectively an employee of the federal government right now. He's not taking a salary. The salary he's supposed to get, he's been donating.
So, so the left, of course, is complaining, and and they're ridiculing him, and they're, you know, trying to come up with all kinds of crazy things. Like I said, at the at the speech Tuesday night, they were holding up signs saying Elon steals and, not elected and and and and and so far so on and so forth. So, today, Donald Trump, posted up on his Truth Social account. And if you don't have a Truth Social account, I really suggest you get one because, you know, before Donald Trump posts anything anywhere else or any any other information goes out, he always puts it up on truth social first. And that's a good metric for you to figure out if it's if it's real or not. There's a lot of posts that go out there that are attributed to Donald Trump that aren't really his. So, if he's gonna say something, he's gonna put it out on Truth Social First. So, earlier today, Donald Trump put this out there for, for Elon Musk. Elon is doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive.
Remember, we have a country to save, but ultimately, to make greater than ever before MAGA. So, you know, Donald Trump, he's he's putting down. He's doubling down on on Elon Musk. He's he's, he's pushing him to do to do more, to get even more aggressive in the work that he's been doing. And, I mean, I think he's been doing a great job as it is, and I and I can only imagine these things he's gonna uncover as he gets further into the into the government and government waste, especially when it gets to the IRS. I'm I'm dying to find out where all the tax money's going. So, you know, it would it this would this is this is a a great encouragement, I I think, to Elon Musk to go out there and do more. And, of course, it's bad news for the for the Liberals and Democrats, because, of Elon Musk's answer.
He posted, which I don't have a screen grab for it, but, he posted up on on, on x. He said, will do, mister president. So basically, you know, you know, the liberals and the democrats, they've they've been going after Elon Musk. They've been they've been fermenting a lot of anger, a lot of frustration towards him. I I know Tesla sales vehicles, have have gone down. A lot a number of of the, of the showrooms where where they sell their merchandise have been vandalized. Tesla charging stations have been vandalized and burned down. But that's just what the left does. I mean, you you you have to come to expect that from them. They're angry, they're scared, and then they're they're angry again because because of all the work that, that, that that that he's doing. And of course, you know, the media is not helping by spinning the lies that, you know, you're gonna lose your social security, you're gonna lose your, your Medicare, your Medicaid is going after all that. No. That's not what they're doing. They're going to root out waste, fraud, corruption.
I mean, we are spending money into these into these, these programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Where's the money going? It never seems to be enough money in there for when you need something or when somebody else well, we all well, we know of course that a lot of the money went to illegals, which we're gonna come to in a little bit. We're gonna be we have some some, some clips about, what took place at on the Hill today with, with some, sanctuary city mayors being grilled by Congress. We're gonna take a look at those things, shortly.
But, we know that millions billions correction. Billions of dollars have been wasted, poured out for things that they're not supposed to go to, or they weren't intended to go to. And I'm sure that a lot and and I'm sure that the reason for a lot of the resistance that you're getting from the Democrats, from the Liberals, from the Communist, from the Socialists, from the Globalists, is because a lot of these programs are being used as slush funds for their pockets. So, that would explain why they get they're getting so upset, and why they're so angry at it, And, you know, and I say power on man, do the job, do the work.
The American people are behind it. If you have 70 almost 70% of the American public, of the American people support the work that Doge is doing, and like like we said before, you never get 70% of the American people to support anything. But yet, on this particular subject, this particular matter, 70% of the American people are in favor of the work that Doge is doing. And then you have states like like Florida that are are implementing a a a state level Doge, and I think every state should do that. Every single state. God, I would love to see what what they would come up with in New York, my home state. I would love to see that.
I guarantee you, it it would it would it would dwarf most of what you're gonna find in the federal level. I mean, it it's New York is one of the most corrupt states there are. Not my favorite place in the world. And I got a I got a little thing going on with New York state right now too. So, yeah. We'll talk about that when we can. Alright. Let's see what else we got here for you. Well, Doge is is getting ready to go into the IRS. The IRS is preparing to give, Gavin Kilger Gavin Kliger, a young software engineer working with Doge access to sensitive taxpayer information as a senior adviser to the IRS as acting commissioner. The IRS is still working on the terms of his assignment. Of course, you know, they're they're criticizing that because, you know, oh, you're gonna get access to taxpayer information. Oh, yeah. Okay. So the DMV, every federal rate every federal agency, your your doctor, your your dentists, you know, they like, they don't have access to your your taxpayer information. Do you give me your Social Security number, which is your taxpayer ID? Believe it or not. You know, I don't know if you ever noticed that.
It says that on a lot of forms now. Your taxpayer ID is your Social Security number. So all that information is out there. It's all public information. Any anybody has access to it, so this is bullcrap. I mean, this is just it's a straw man. It's a straw argument that they're that they're, that they're trying to, to, to to put out there just to stir up people, get them nervous, get them worried, get them concerned, get them yelling and screaming on the streets about this stuff. That's not gonna work. Like I said, 70% of the American public is behind all this.
And of course, next they're looking to go to, looking to go over to Fort Knox, and I guarantee you right now that, see, I don't think they should announce where they're going next. I think they just just do it, just show up. You know what I mean? I think it'd be better because, you know right now they're over there at Fort Knox. I don't think there's any gold. I think it's all gone. I think it was all stolen, given away, whatever they did with it gone. So right now, you know, they're over there with bricks and some gold spray paint, you know, spray paint and all that stuff. Yeah.
Alright. Well, this is also interesting. This is this is I'm not gonna spend too much time on this because this this is just, I'm trying to keep the show down to the hour. But, but one thing that's very interesting and and and it it, of course, explains why certain members of of of Congress, the Senate, and and the House of Representatives are concerned about, Kash Patel, becoming the director of the FBI and now, Dan Bongino, who have a tremendous amount of respect for. Don't agree with him and everything, but, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dan Bongino. We grew up in the same area. We, you know, I don't know him. Don't don't misunderstand how I'm saying this. I don't I don't know the guy from a hole in the wall, but but, he served in law enforcement in many levels. I've served in law enforcement, myself and in different capacities.
So we have similar backgrounds in that regard. I didn't work at the level that he did with the secret service, but I did do some work with the federal government at in in some, uniform security work. But, the but the there's a lot of concern now about, the two of them coming in together at working at the at the FBI because of people like, Adam Schiff, Senator Schiff, Democrat in California, who, a a number of conservatives and a number of people are are are are are just, you know, they're pushing and pushing and pushing for Adam Schiff to be held responsible, legally accountable, I should say, for his role in in in pushing that now very well debunked claim that Donald Trump, was a was a a a dupe, I guess, for for president, Vladimir Putin during his first term. You remember that remember that whole thing that the the the so called Russian collusion story that went out there, the whole Russian collusion narrative, that shift and and the media and and so many others, pushed for years for the for years during, president Trump's first term. You remember all that stuff?
All the investigations, all the taxpayer money spent on on these on these bogus bullshit investigations. All of these, you know, independent prosecutors, in including, you know, John Durham, Robert Mueller. Do you remember you remember all that stuff? I'm sure it wasn't that long ago. You know, it seems like a long time ago, but it really wasn't. But it it wasn't that long ago. And of course, after at the conclusion of the Mueller investigation and Durham's investigation, there was absolutely zero evidence. None. Zero.
To support that claim that that, that, that Donald Trump and and was colluding with Russia. None whatsoever. Absolutely zero. No evidence of it whatsoever. But as a result of these investigations, it turned out that they uncovered plots basically to to to to to, to to to to to load on top of Donald Trump all of these false claims to to to basically hampers presidency, limit his his ability to carry out his foreign policy, and to damage his reputation and and and his name, and and and and, you know, by default, the country. And because of that, now you have several conservative voices, several across the board here. They they are calling for Kash Patel and the justice department to hold Schiff accountable.
And you know what? I think there should be an investigation into this. I think there should be something looked into. And whether whether he's he's, found, complicit or not, that's another story, but there does need to be investigations into this. You know, these these things cannot go unchecked. They have to be checked out. They have to be investigated. They have to be looked at. Because if you don't if you don't put a stop to it now, it's gonna continue on, continue on, and continue on, and it's gonna set precedent, and and it's just it's never gonna end. And then American politics are gonna devolve into, what it teetered on the edge of under the Biden administration of a Banana Republic.
You know, where where where people are persecuted because of their political stance. So hopefully, you know, we'll see we'll see some investigations. We'll see those things come about, and he should be worried. Now last week, actually, which is very unusual, Adam Schiff actually made a trip over to FBI headquarters in Washington. He went there basically to complain about the about, about, President Trump's choice of Kash Patel becoming the bureau's new director, and of course, he did that right before the the senate and we I think we played clips of that. It was like five of them standing outside there with no crowd support whatsoever. And I think that if you really look at the at the way that Adam Schiff has been behaving, you can honestly see and and and, that that he realizes that that that, that Kash Patel, you know, who who basically uncovered the Trump Russia collusion hoax is really, you know, pretty pretty well aware of what, this, of what Adam Schiff has been up to in in pushing this lie and turning it into, into one of two impeachment cases against Donald Trump. And, of course, that that, you know, cost you and I money.
It cost the country money. These sham hoaxes. Remember, democrat liberals, democrats are very, very comfortable spending others people's money on nonsense, on bullshit, which is what all that was. And if it doesn't if it and if it didn't get any worse, do you remember, a name a man by the name of Eric, Ciamorella? He was the whistleblower that was connected to Donald Trump's twenty nineteen impeachment. Well, guess what? He's back in the spotlight, and he's back in the spotlight about, regarding Adam Schiff's connection to Ukraine. Former Ukrainian Diplomat Andrei Telychenko alleged that he was present when Chiammerella met with then president Barack Obama and vice president Joe Joe Biden.
I was gonna say Joe Joe Obama. That's pretty much basically what it was. While they discussed Ukraine behind closed doors, Telashchenko's claims raised new concerns about Xiomarela's role in US Ukraine relations during Obama's president presidency, notably with policies that became a key factor in the first impeachment of president Donald Trump. Chiamorella was identified as the anonymous whistleblower during Trump's impeachment inquiry after famously filing a complaint about Trump's perfect phone call with then Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky.
And, President Trump has long accused Adam Schiff of lying and manipulating intelligence in order to push the narratives that weaponize the government against them. FBI director Cash Patel, who played a crucial role in exposing the Trump Russia Russia Russia collusion hoax, is now digging deep into Schiff's involvement. Patel has said he has strong feelings about Schiff's actions and probable ties to Chiamarella's role in Ukraine related controversies. Alright. And, let's see. What do we got? Let's see. We have we have a great clip here from, Chanel Reone from, from Fine Point. Let's, let's go to that clip five.
[00:46:07] Unknown:
That report about Shiromela was correct. And now we know Shiromela worked directly with Biden on Ukraine affairs. In fact, one of my sources, former diplomat and now wrongfully sanctioned Andrei Teloshenko, was in the room with Shira Mela when a Ukrainian contingent met with Obama and Biden to discuss Ukraine affairs. Shira Mela was an Obama Biden guy, and he colluded with Schiff. The implications I raise at the end of my broadcast from the White House Briefing Room stands today more than ever. Schiff is indeed in deep trouble. And the one person in all of Washington who knows this story inside and out is, of course, my friend and now FBI director, Kash Patel, a man who debunked the entire Russia hoax while working as a senior aide for congressman Devin Nunes on the House Intel Committee.
Cash not only remembers, he has very strong feelings about what needs to happen to Adam Schiff. He should be investigated
[00:47:13] Unknown:
because he lied to the world about his interactions with Carmela, who is a whistleblower, and I can't stress it enough, that started a presidential impeachment.
[00:47:21] Unknown:
Cash knew all this, but there was only so much he could do back then. Now that's not the case. Mark my words. Schiff will see the gallows of Cash's FBI, the political gallows that is. So godspeed, Cash. Director Patel, you have our full support. Is the douche chainsaw cutting too close to the bone? Congressman McCormick joins us next. We'll be right back.
[00:47:48] Unknown:
Alright. Good piece, by the way. Very good piece. And, short, yeah, but very good piece. And I I encourage you to check her out. Chanel Rion over at Fine Point. What else we got here? It's enough on Adam Schiff. Let's talk about something else. Well, this is good stuff. This this is here as close to home. Breitbart reports Trump begins construction of Texas border wall canceled by Joe Biden. So, back in business, Michael Banks, the, the the chief of the, US border patrol, that says, USBP began installing 18 foot tall border wall panels in the Rio Grande Valley sector, Hidalgo's County. Today, these panels were originally planned for installation during the prior Trump administration, but the contracts were canceled by the Biden administration.
So that is great news. So right here, you know, I live, you know, just about two miles from the border here. And, this is this is absolutely great news. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just the fact that, we had, we have the border wall going up, but we actually had a visit this week from our vice president, JD
[00:49:16] Unknown:
Vance. Alright. Well, good afternoon, everybody. It's it's great to be here. It's great to talk to some of the incredible people that we have, both at the local level, the Texas state level, and also, of course, our federal border patrol who are doing so many good things to keep us safe. And I I have some some bad news and some some good news. And the bad news is that because of what Joe Biden did at the southern border for four years, we had record increases in migrant crime, in fentanyl deaths, and in just floods and floods of people who shouldn't be in our country who came into The United States Of America. We also have a number of of ways in which the cartels became more advanced, better war fighters because Joe Biden opened up the American southern border and allowed the cartels to turn it into their playground. Now that's the bad news.
The good news is as president Trump said last night at the State of the Union, it turns out we didn't need new laws. We didn't need fancy legislation. We just needed a new president of The United States, and thank God that's exactly what we have. And I will say that the most heartening message that I take away from my visit here at the at the Texas border is the number of border patrol agents who have come up to me and said thank you or said because of this, we've cut the number of border crossings from 1,500 a day to 30 a day. Or the people who who have come up and said, we've seen a reduction in eighty five percent of the number of people who are dying at the American southern border. And every single day that we continue to keep this border safe, that means less migrant crime, that means less fentanyl coming into our communities, that means more safety and security for the people of The United States Of America. And, of course, we know the border problem, the border crisis under Biden's administration was a national crisis, but it acutely affected the communities right here. And I've already heard heartbreaking stories of people who are still picking up the pieces, local mayors who are still do dealing with the budgetary consequences of what the Joe Biden administration allowed to happen at the American southern border, and that too is something that president Trump is going to help address, help fix, and help solve. Now I I wanted to bring, secretary Hegseth and director Gabbard at DNI down here because, one, I obviously enjoy their company, and it's good to have them down here down here with me looking around today. But, unfortunately, we know that because of what's happened, the border crisis has become a matter of national intelligence, and it's also become something that requires the Department of Defense to engage with. I was talking with Paul Perez earlier.
The the the the drone technology that the cartels are using requires, unfortunately, a military response and military support. Support. So it was important for secretary Hegseth to see what's going on because we know that the millions and millions of people who were let in over the last four years, many of them are connected to foreign terrorists. It's important for our leader of national intelligence to get a sense of what's here on the ground. So before we take questions from the press, and all of us are are willing to take questions, I wanna give secretary Hegseth and then director Gabbard an opportunity to say a few words themselves.
[00:52:27] Unknown:
So, that was right here in Eagle Pass, by the way. So that was great. And, I I wish I would have known, you know, that that he was coming because I would have, you know, baked the cake. But no. I was wondering why yesterday was so quiet around here. You know? That was because they were here. But, but, you know, it was great that they were here. And, have a great great shot from, secretary Het Seth's, x account right here for you. At the border today with two great Americans, JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard, border security, national security. Difference under the this POTUS is night and day. Thanks for having us, mister VP. Well, we appreciate them being here. So we have, we have some comments from, from our DNI.
Let's play that.
[00:53:11] Unknown:
As director of national intelligence, there are a number of areas where we are focused. The president talked about in his speech, over 21,000,000 people have come across our borders illegally under Joe Biden's administration. There are many of them that we don't know who they are. They have not been vetted. We don't know where they are. I'll give you one quick example of one of the problems that we are getting after. From Central Asia, there were over 4,000 people who came across our borders using an ISIS affiliated network.
Our national, counterterrorism center went through and identified those individuals. There were hundreds of them, who were either known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. That information was provided to the Biden administration. You may remember in some of the news, a little over a hundred of those people were arrested in 2024. Of those who were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody. Only eight. The rest of them were released back into our country. Where are they? What are they doing? What may they be plotting? This is just the beginning. There are many, many areas that we need, to stay very focused on, working with Department of Homeland Security, working with the FBI to ensure that we're keeping the American people safe. Our counterterrorism center is working on making sure that we have that single source for vetting so that we can figure out who is actually in our country and identify those who pose a threat, and get them removed.
[00:54:40] Unknown:
Now, of course, our our Texas governor, Greg Abbott, was on hand to, to welcome, vice president Vance, secretary Hegseth, and DNI Gabbard, at and, held a border security roundtable, which was, which is very, very successful, and we're very happy that this administration is showing the, the interest and, the care and the concern and the concern for this these small border towns, like Eagle Pass. So, that that was fantastic. And, Governor Abbott met with the Trump delegation in Eagle Pass to provide a briefing on the state's efforts to provide secure to, to help secure the border. All our country all our country needed to secure the border was a new president, Abbott said in the post on x. Together, we will make America safe again.
It's just some numbers here for you. Since, Donald Trump came to office, his national security team led to a 9494% drop in migrant encounters in February alone compared to the prior year. Breitbart, Texas reported that the, just over 8,300 migrants arrested by border patrol agents who illegally crossed the Mexican border into The United States fell by 94% to a 40,000. A 40,641 encountered just one year ago. So a year ago, it was a 40,000. Today, this year, at the same time, just over 8,300. Breitbart goes on to say, perhaps even more shocking, the numbers dropped by 82% from December president Joe Biden's last full month in office. As the transition of power took place in January, the encounter number began to plummet, falling to just over 29,000.
On February 21, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lieutenant Chris Olivares reported the daily migrant apprehension rate along the Southwest border fell below 200 for the first time when agents accounted a 99 migrants. By February 22, the number fell to 85. You see, folks, you don't need legislation. All you need to do is enforce the laws that are already in place. And to do that, as president Trump aptly stated yesterday, Tuesday rather, all you needed was a new president. You needed a president that was willing to close the border. For whatever reason for whatever reason, Joe Biden refused to close the border.
Whatever reason that is, I I I'm not gonna get into my thoughts on it right now because we're running out of time, but I I but for whatever reason that Joe Biden had, he did not wanna close the border. The American people suffered. That's treasonous. I said it. Alright. Doge. Let's get to some Doge news, and then we'll we'll start to wrap this thing up because we're over the hour already. So Doge news. Doge cancels NIH grants for transgender experiments on animals. That's right. You heard it here first. No. You didn't. But, the Department of Government Efficiency, this week announced the cancellation of several National Institutes of Health grants that were granted or geared towards transgender transgender experiments on animals.
$8,000,000 for making mice transgender. Can you believe that? Doge tweeted, yesterday, NIH canceled several grants seven grants for transgenic experiments of on animals, including 532,000 to use mouse model to use a mouse model to investigate the effects of cross sex testosterone treatment and 33,000 to test feminizing hormone therapy in a male rat. You know, folks, this this is your money. Your money. Our money that your government is wasting or was wasting. And thank God it's it's it's it's been stopped. Earlier this year, the House Oversight Committee confirmed that $241,000,000 had been spent on transgender animal testing, and senior vice president of advocacy of public policy at White Coat Waste Project, Justin Goodman, told lawmakers that the figure was merely the floor on such research.
And then last week, representative Eli Crane, interviewed Justin Goodman who tells Representative Crane that at least $241,000,000 taxpayer money was spent on transgender animal testing. In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys who are being surgically mutilated and and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic females. Let's take a look. Clip eight.
[01:00:27] Unknown:
It was just yesterday that I asked chairman Comer if, we could get some therapy dogs up here, because of some of the meltdowns that were going on. I had no idea I'd walk into this hearing today and, see three, beautiful beagle puppies, and I've, noticed that my mood's already improved. So thank you guys for bringing them there. I think we should make it mandatory. We also talked about in the oversight committee hearing yesterday that some of the ridiculous programs and initiatives that need to be cut from our bloated government. And it seems like a lot of these studies are just another example of our senseless out of control spending by bureaucrats who never really get held accountable.
I wanna start with you, mister Goodman. You said you have estimated over $20,000,000,000 in taxpayer money wasted on ineffective animal research. Is that correct, sir? Yes.
[01:01:21] Unknown:
Wow.
[01:01:23] Unknown:
Mister Goodman, did you also say that two hun it was your estimation that 242 hundred and $41,000,000 was spent for transgender animal testing?
[01:01:34] Unknown:
Yes. And that's, I would say, is the floor, not the ceiling, because the information on federal databases is not it was pretty incomplete.
[01:01:43] Unknown:
So So you think we're gonna find out it that it was much more money than that for Yes. Transgender animal testing? Yes. Can you describe what exactly the American people's taxpayer dollars were spent on regarding transgender animal testing? Yeah.
[01:02:00] Unknown:
In a lot of these cases, they're involved mice, rats, monkeys who are being, surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male or male to female gender transitions, gender affirming ther hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological, and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you've transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you've put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them. Are you kidding me? And in the case that the chairwoman the example the chairwoman gave, there was a $1,100,000 grant to give female lab rats testosterone to mimic transgender male humans and then overdose them with this party drug to see if animals who were taking test, female animals taking testosterone were more likely to overdose on the sex party drug than animals who are not taking testosterone.
[01:03:15] Unknown:
Mister Goodman, are many of these taxpayer funded animal studies shared with the public, or is there a significant oversight of this research?
[01:03:24] Unknown:
You essentially needed a degree in information technology to navigate the federal spending databases to find any of this stuff. So so what you found is we're not being very transparent with what we're spending these funds on? Not at all, and it's by design. Did you say that doctor Fauci,
[01:03:41] Unknown:
in your estimation, had funded close to 95% of these animal, research projects?
[01:03:47] Unknown:
Yeah. In our analysis, doctor Fauci funded about 95% of the transgender animal experiments.
[01:03:53] Unknown:
K. I found in, found in some research that the EPA under President Trump is planning to reduce the agency's animal testing by 30% by 2025 and completely by 2035. Mister Goodman, can you explain why that's a win for the American taxpayer?
[01:04:11] Unknown:
Absolutely. Animal testing is incredibly time intensive, inaccurate, and expensive, and it's not very good at predicting the human health effects or environmental effects of, chemicals and pesticides. And right now, what we are doing to test human effects is poisoning lab animals, forcing them to breathe wildfire smoke simulated in a laboratory by burning different, types of foliage and pumping into animals' cages, making them obese to simulate what it would be like for obese people to be exposed to wildfire smoke, shooting off handguns and rifles and forcing animals to breathe the, emissions and gun control experiments, and the list goes on and on. And that's what's happening currently at the EPA after the Biden administration overturned the Trump plan to phase out animal testing.
[01:04:59] Unknown:
Mister Goodman, one more question. You've also been outspoken about the COVID nineteen outbreak stemming from doctor Fauci's US funded research at China's Wuhan lab. What are the public health risk if we continue some of these outrageous animal studies?
[01:05:15] Unknown:
We're flirt flirting with disaster if we continue to fund dangerous virus research both abroad, like in Colorado where they're trying Fauci greenlit this bat lab. They're trying to import hundreds of bats from Asia to build a new lab in Colorado to do virus experiments with Ebola, Nipah, Lhasa, deadly viruses for which there's no cure. It's just a matter of time before we have another pandemic on our hands if we let mad scientists run amok with our money.
[01:05:39] Unknown:
Thank you. I yield back. This is absolutely disgusting.
[01:05:44] Unknown:
Disgusting. I mean, aside from the fact that, you know, I'm I'm an animal lover. I have two absolutely beautiful French bulldogs that I I adore, and to think that there are people that are torturing these animals in the name of science. I know it's another issue altogether. I'm sorry. But $240,000,000, and they say that that's just the floor of how much your money, your tax money, has gone to funding these mad scientist tests and experiments on animals. I mean, really, transgender animals? I mean, come on. And and and you heard mister Goodman say very clearly, how how is it possible that you could take an animal, and and and project what something that you do to a human being would, especially a dog.
A dog isn't even remotely close to a human being, biologically, and that it it as far as anatomy goes. Anatomically, that was the word. Sorry. I mean, come on, man. Folks, this is just this is just sick, sick stuff. Alright. So I have, I have a few more things that I wanted to get to. I don't know if I'm gonna go into or not, but I mean, this was this was one that I really enjoyed that I wanted to talk about. Because I I I happen to like this guy. This guy's pretty pretty cool, and I and I'm I'm surprised that that he still has a job, to be quite honest with you. I'm talking about Scott Jennings over at CNN.
Man, this guy, every time he is on a show, just just schools. Schools. His co hosts and his guests. I mean, this guy, you know, he is he he's he's a conservative. And like I said, I don't know how he still has a job on CNN. He makes he makes his co work his coworkers, his co host look like fools. In a recent, in a recent show, they were talking about, they were talking about chickens and the price of eggs and and and so forth. So I wanna play this clip for you. It's about two minutes. Alright? This is, this is Scott Jennings, clip nine.
[01:08:32] Unknown:
Well, I think they acknowledge as they go. They've obviously updated the information they've put out, on their website. And I think they have some political leash here to make a few mistakes because people look at this government. I mean, today, we spend about $6,200,000,000,000. In 2019, we spent $4,450,000,000,000. How did we go from 4 and a half trillion to 6,200,000,000,000.0?
[01:08:53] Unknown:
Tax class CRs.
[01:08:55] Unknown:
No. This is spending. This is federal spending. And so and and and on the and on the VA memo these mistakes are impacting everyone's lives. Lives.
[01:09:02] Unknown:
On the VA memo that we've been talking about, these job cuts, if you read the memo, they're going back to 2019
[01:09:08] Unknown:
staffing levels. The VA operated in 2019. We somehow lived with those staffing levels. Yeah. But you know it was passed in between then, the PAC jack, which is to help burn pit bulls. I know. I know. That's why it expanded. I know. But here's here's the point that Republicans made me more people who needed it eligible who who were eligible to Do we need 70,000
[01:09:24] Unknown:
federal workers to cover it? My question and what the Republicans are asking is simply this.
[01:09:29] Unknown:
Is it not possible for us to approach getting back to 2019 spending levels? Or maybe did we go too far with the size of government? It always gets bigger. It never gets smaller. There will be sob stories. There will be sad stories, but overall fiscal health of this country matters. It can't be a talking point that these are sob stories. These are, again, people's livelihoods and also the health of this country. Right? They have some of these mistakes that people keep talking about are gutting our agencies that are taking care of, I don't know, paying attention to the bird flu, Ebola. These things that actually can have detrimental impacts on We have Ebola in The United States? Well, we are helping the world be a safer place as well. I on the bird flu, you know, we did Biden slaughtered all the chickens. I don't know if there's any left to kill. Oh my god. On that note. Come on. Come on, Scott. It was a bloodbath. You all love that word. You can laugh about this, but these are things that people are actually scared about. I mean, measles is coming back. There's so many things that are happening that our federal government makes you want Elon Musk calls the measles? I am saying what is happening in this government right now with Donald Trump appoint Donald Trump calls the measles? I am saying that what is happening in this federal government under Donald Trump, allowing Elon Musk and allowing all these people that he appointed to run this government like this is actually making us unsafer for the Americans. And he calls the measles. You heard it here first. Here. Scott's not what I said, Johnson. Not what you said.

So yeah. I I love this guy. He he's great. But, I I just wanted to to comment on on on this one thing. I I forgot. It happens. Look, I'm I'm getting old, man. You know? He he he he pointed out so the one thing about conservatives versus liberals is is that conservatives talk in facts 99% of the time. There's a few that don't. Every now and then I fall into the emotional side, but liberals mostly talk about emotions, through emotions. But he made up a very good point. You know, nothing that Elon Musk is doing, nothing that Donald Trump is doing is causing these diseases. Okay? You're talking about diseases that, firstly, there there is no Ebola in The United States. Alright? And it's not The United States' job to go around healing the world. Alright? We we have our own problems to deal with, and we need to do that in and of ourselves. So, and and then, you know, he made another good point with, with with the chickens.
Alright? Chickens under the Biden mist they slaughtered millions and millions of chickens, which of course, which caused the prices of eggs to go up and and chicken, you know, itself to go up at the supermarkets. You know, it's he I I can't I can't argue with him on his points. They can. They can try, but you can't. It's it's impossible. And just to go back to the chickens, I wanted to show you this one too because this is really funny. Clip, 10. Yeah.
[01:12:35] Unknown:
On the screen for all the viewers to see, a view with your chicken. I don't know what this chicken's name is. Maybe you do. Never name the chickens. Oh, that's that's sad. Well But seriously, is this realistic? Like, is this a realistic solution? Like, I mean, it's or is it a little bit out of touch with I mean,
[01:12:51] Unknown:
you know, there's a lot of people who, you know, have no backyard to put a chicken in, for example. That's true. Well, first of all, I would highly recommend this hobby to anybody. It's been the most fulfilling and worthwhile thing. I started with six, and now I have 35. You have 35 chickens? And I'm like the Pablo Excobar of my neighborhood. Oh my god. It's outrageous the amount of eggs I get every single day. And I know nobody come over at once, but I did hear you sometimes bring them here to CNN and share I have brought eggs here. Look. I think she was making light of the idea that backyard chicken farming is taking off. But what is true is that we killed millions upon millions upon millions of chickens, which is why egg prices are high today. I what I hope is that the agriculture department looks at this chicken calling policy.
I think we may have killed too many. But if you wanna know why the egg prices are high, it's not because of what anything Donald Trump is. It's just we killed all the chickens that lay all the eggs. No. Not a problem at my house. My chickens are in a very nice secluded backyard area. They're not interacting with any other, infected animals. Well taken care of, well fed. You're really defensive about Well, I
[01:13:50] Unknown:
I disagree with them a lot on a lot of thing.
[01:13:53] Unknown:
So yeah. I just wanted to show you that for fun. But Scott Jennings, man, I don't know how this guy still has a job. I I I really don't. I really don't. And what I wanted to say before, and it just it just popped back in my head. You know, they talk about these sob stories. Right? About these people that are losing their jobs. Alright. Well, what about when Joe Biden took office his first day and closed the Excel pipeline and 10,000 people lost their jobs and his comment was his comment was what? Do you remember what his comment was? Learn to code.
Alright. That was his comment. I don't recall seeing any puff pieces on on sixty minutes. I don't recall seeing any, any any interviews being being conducted with with these, pipeline workers where they were in tears walking away from the job. How are they gonna support their families now? None of it. Media silence, dead silent, nothing to say about it whatsoever. Learn to code was the, was was the response from the Biden administration. Alright? Again, I said the other day, I don't have any sympathy for these peep these federal employees that have been milking the job for for years, collecting paychecks, doing little to nothing.
Little look. I'm gonna get in trouble for this, I know. But look, I worked for the city of New York for twenty three to twenty five years. If you wanna count in some other work that I did with the city prior to my establishing my law enforcement career. I worked for the city for twenty plus years. Okay. Let's just say that. Alright. I have seen two sides of the of the employments, of the employment, arrangement. I have seen city workers that have gone above and beyond earning their paycheck, not getting anything extra for the above and beyond that they've done. And then I've seen the the the worker that just does the bare minimum just to get by.
And at the end of the day they both get the same paycheck, you know, you know what I'm saying? I've seen it. It breeds laziness. Job security, it breeds laziness. Work in the private sector, and try to do and get away with the things that you get away with when you work as a civil servant or as a public servant or or the federal level, city, state, whatever, you're you're not gonna succeed because it doesn't it it doesn't translate. Okay? That's what they're seeing now with Doge looking at the work they're doing because Doge is looking at it from a corporate private sector type mindset, management mindset.
Alright. So these folks are are are are are seeing what it's like to work in the private sector. Okay? Hence, the emails. Five bullet points, which you did last week. I work in the private sector now. Look, I worked, like I said, twenty plus years for the city, you know, I I came into the private sector. I'm working in the private sector in my regular job. I get these evaluations. I get these emails. I get these things. What did you do this week? What did you do today? What did you do last two hours? It's accountability.
And these employees don't wanna be accountable for what they do. So when they lose their position because of they can't be accountable for what they've done, they go on the news. And of course, the left wing media sides with the Fed, they side with the government employee. Oh, the poor government employee. Oh, the poor USAID worker that lost their job. Oh, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo. I have no sympathy. You've been taking my money for years and done nothing with it except enrich yourself. I don't care. Learn to code. Go to go to nursing school, become a CNA, and see what a what a what a certified nurse aide has to do every day.
Do that. Go to McDonald's, flip burgers. It's like I told my kids. You need a job? I guarantee you can go to McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, wherever. You'll get a job. Get a job. Anyway, let's go on. Because I wanna try to wrap this up. Alright. I'm gonna skip that one for today, and I wanna go to this one. So, today, the members of Congress, I alluded to this earlier, Anna polly Anna pollyna Luna, who I adore. You know, so she's listening if she's single. I don't know if she's single or not. You know? I'm single. You know? No rings. So they they hosted some mayors from from the, from, Sanctuary Cities today. And, it was a I'm gonna use it I'm gonna use a very dangerous word in in the liberal mind.
Okay? Very dangerous. So if you if you're a liberal and you're listening, you know, you know, cover your ears. Okay? I don't wanna upset you and trigger you. It was a bloodbath. It was a bloodbath. It it truly was. I have a couple of clips I wanna play for you, and, we're gonna we're gonna take a look at those in just a moment here. But, when I tell you, when you hear the testimony from these mayors, from these Democrat blue sanctuary cities, it's gonna make your blood boil. First of all, most of them couldn't answer the question. Virginia Fox got every one of them to admit how much they were spending on illegal aliens over the last four years.
And when you hear it when you hear it, it's good it it well, let let me let me play that for you. Okay? Let's go to, 11, clip 11. This is Virginia Fox.
[01:20:54] Unknown:
Well, that's real calm. Time's expired. She recognizes doctor Fox from North Carolina.
[01:20:58] Unknown:
Thank you, mister chairman. Mayor Johnson, in the last four years, how much has Chicago spent on care for illegal aliens?
[01:21:09] Unknown:
Thank you for that question, congresswoman. So since 2022, since the governor of Texas
[01:21:19] Unknown:
began shipping me a number. I don't I don't need a speech. Just tell me a number. So since 2022,
[01:21:26] Unknown:
since the governor of Texas was shipping individuals to cities across this country, the city's budget, roughly 1% of the city's budget over the course of four years?
[01:21:38] Unknown:
Mayor Johnston, the same question, and I don't need a speech, just a number.
[01:21:45] Unknown:
Thank you, doctor. Congresswoman. Thank you, congresswoman. It's 79,000,000 over the last two and a half years.
[01:21:52] Unknown:
Mayor Adams, same question. How much has New York spent to care for illegal aliens?
[01:22:00] Unknown:
Approximately $6,900,000,000 went out of our taxpayers' funds. Mayor Wu, same question. $6,000,000,000
[01:22:08] Unknown:
monthly. Spent care for illegal aliens in the last four years? We do not ask about immigration status and giving city services and providing that access, so we do not have a number.
[01:22:20] Unknown:
Taxpayers been bearing the brunt of the massive wave of illegal aliens who've entered The United States, the Biden administration seemingly declared taxpayers and hardworking Americans collateral damage in the pursuit of open borders. Again, mayor Johnson, are NGOs providing services to illegal aliens in Chicago?
[01:22:42] Unknown:
In accordance with the welcoming city ordinance, our sister agencies or city departments, we do not seek the status of any individual that is seeking service.
[01:22:55] Unknown:
Mayor Johnston, are NGOs providing services to illegal aliens in Denver?
[01:23:02] Unknown:
Thank you, ma'am. When folks arrive on the streets, without food or resources or shelter, we do provide food or shelter regardless of where folks arrive from. Mayor Adams, same question.
[01:23:13] Unknown:
Yes. In combination of city agencies and nonprofits, we responded to the migrant asylum seekers humanitarian crisis that hit our city.
[01:23:23] Unknown:
And mayor Wu, I assume you don't know their status, but do you know if there are NGOs are providing services to people arriving in your city without any kind of documentation?
[01:23:36] Unknown:
There are community organizations, many of them in Boston, who seek to serve all of our Boston residents.
[01:23:43] Unknown:
Congress must provide oversight and ensure
[01:23:50] Unknown:
So mayor Adams, the mayor of my hometown, 6,900,000,000.0 taxpayer dollars went to illegals. $574,500,000 went to, illegals in Chicago. Seventy Nine Million in in in, Denver. Boston doesn't ask anybody any questions about their status, so of course, they don't know, any numbers. But just I I just want you to think about just think about the money that was spent. Just just think about that. Just think about how that money could have benefited Americans. Just think about how that money could have taken care of, well, let's just say, veterans who are living on the street.
Homeless veterans, men and women who have served their country honorably, have nowhere to go, Can't get any assistance from the federal government because the money is being diverted to people who are here illegally. Criminals breaking the law. It's disgusting. It it it truly truly is. But probably the the most interesting, exchange today took place with representative Byron Donalds. And, the more I watch Byron Donalds, the more I I appreciate him. And I I want you to check this out. This is, this is clip 12. It's about two and a half minutes. Okay? I want I want you to check it out, the whole thing.
[01:26:00] Unknown:
Did your city spend on illegal immigration? Do you have a round number?
[01:26:04] Unknown:
Over the last couple years on all newcomers, whatever their status was, it's around 79,000,000 since 2022. Seventy '9 million. Mayor Johnson,
[01:26:12] Unknown:
Chicago. How much is the city of Chicago spent on illegal immigration?
[01:26:16] Unknown:
If you're referring to the twenty twenty two up to to twenty twenty four of the buses coming from Texas,
[01:26:22] Unknown:
roughly the same percentage of the state of Texas, about 1% of our overall budget. What is that? Because we don't have the city's budget in front of me. Numbers. It's 1%. And if you want the actual calculation, we can make sure someone You're the mayor. You don't have the math in front of you? It's 1% of the overall budget over the last four years. You were failing your the same number that we sent from us. New York actually spoke on legal immigration. Mayor Johnson, I'm I already asked you. You don't have a hard number. And if you don't have a hard number, you're not running your city well. Mayor Adams, how much did the City Of New York actually spend on illegal immigration? 6,900,000,000.0
[01:26:54] Unknown:
of taxpayers. $6,900,000,000
[01:26:58] Unknown:
of taxpayer money on a problem that was fostered on the American people. Mayor Wu, in the city of Boston, how much did you spend? We don't ask about immigration status in delivering cities. You don't ask about how much money the city of Boston has spent on illegal immigration or out of your mind. Between immigration status Do you manage your budget or not, mayor? That is how we keep our state safe. Numbers to prove it. I manage my budget. I have a triple a bond rating dating back ten years. So to the city of Boston, just understand that your mayor does not care how much of your resources she has spent on people who are not citizens The city of Boston of Boston. Of having people outside Boston Mister Bair, I have a question for you because I understand Cato's perspective when it comes to illegal immigration. I understand that the Cato Institute for a long time has had a standard of actually having open immigration into The United States. Generally speaking, I don't wanna get into We support legal immigration.
We want immigration to be legal. So let me ask you this question. Because one of the great, libertarians of the modern era, Milton Friedman, famously said, you can either have open borders or a welfare state, but you have to choose. Mister Beer, what do you choose?
[01:28:07] Unknown:
Milton Friedman said he wanted to allow illegal immigration to continue. I disagree with Milton Friedman's position on that. We should have legal immigration
[01:28:15] Unknown:
and build a wall around the welfare state, not around the country. That's in the best interest of taxpayers. And I would argue that under the current system where you have sanctuary cities popping up, it is not possible to build that wall. You feel America has to choose can't. Mister Beer, you're done. America has to choose between securing our nation or protecting the taxpayer. I choose secure the nation. I yield
[01:28:37] Unknown:
back. Absolutely. Back, Jerod. Recognizes mister Bell.
[01:28:41] Unknown:
That was brutal. You I'm look. I love that stuff. That's great stuff. Now, I don't know if you've ever been on the receiving end of a questioning like that. I I I have once, one time in my career. And it's not the most pleasant thing in the world, but folks, this is this is serious stuff, man. This is serious stuff. This is your money. And the mayor from Boston, what an arrogant, obnoxious person. I don't know, Boston. I think you need to think things through with this one. And mind you, this is the same woman, by the way, who, just last week, after a a horrible knife attack where several people were injured, died, including the the the person with the knife, the the the the assailant, before they even expressed any kind of concern over their citizens that were injured in this unprovoked attack expressed their condol her condolences to the family of the assailant.
Do you believe that? Good grief. Good grief, man. Good grief. Alright. I got one more for you, and, I I I was I really wanted to get to this one, so I'm I'm sorry. But, I wanna get to this one. And because this is something that I am incredibly in favor of for many, many, many reasons. And that is, the US Commerce Secretary says Trump is working on abolishing income tax payments to the IRS. This is huge. Huge. Absolutely huge. This is something that Donald Trump had had mentioned on the campaign trail. This is one of the promises that he made, that he was going to look at and explore. And, this is something that, that that I I personally think needs to happen. First of all, I think and this is where the libertarian side of me comes out. Like like I tell folks, you know, I'm I'm a conservatarian. I am a conservative, but I'm also libertarian in a lot of ways. So this is the conservatarian portion of it coming out of me. I think personally taxation is is theft. I think taxation is immoral.
Personal income taxes is what I'm talking about. I think that, I I think that the federal government has absolutely no right to your income. None whatsoever, has no business knowing where you get it from, how you get it, how much you get, and expect you to pay. It's like paying a vig. Those of you from New York know what I'm talking about, or Chicago, you know what I'm talking about. You pay all this money in income taxes, almost in most cases, almost 38% of your income goes to the federal government in taxes, and you get nothing for it. You need a government service, forget it, because they're giving it to illegals first. Your money is going to pay for these things, $6,900,000,000 to illegal immigrants in New York.
Trillions of dollars spent that there's no accountability for. Nobody knows where it's going. This is what Doge is finding out. But this, this is big. No. I I I understand that you can't do this strictly by executive order. We know that because even though it was it was, inappropriate oh, not inappropriate. I guess, inappropriate, or or wasn't properly, ratified the, thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the, the American Union. That's the that's the, that's the amendment that established the personal income tax. Since it took an act of congress to to install install it, it would take an act of Congress to abolish it.
Now is the time to do that because now you have the House, the Senate, and the White House, you can do that. You need to starve the beast. That's that's the whole thing. You take the personal income tax away from the federal government, you starve the beast. It's gonna force it to to decrease. It's gonna force it to downsize, downscale, whatever you wanna call it. And we can go right back to the tariffs. Just like we did prior to the thirteenth or the sixteenth amendment. I will correct myself, admonish myself tomorrow, on tomorrow's show, and I'll make sure I get it right. But it was 1913 that the income tax came it was the sixteenth amendment that tried. Okay. So thirteen, sixteen. Alright. So, regardless, it needs to be abolished, it needs to be gotten rid of, it needs to be ended.
You need tax forgiveness. You need to eliminate all of it. Just like property taxes, you need to eliminate property taxes. Florida's on the right track with that. I'm hoping Texas follows suit. I know Texas is talking about a rebate on, the $24,000,000,000 excess they have in in property taxes, but a bottle of such why are you still paying for property that you already paid off? You spent thirty years paying for your your home and your land, but yet you miss a property tax payment, and they can still come and take it away from you. So who really owns it? You're leasing it from the from the government.
It needs to be gotten rid of. But, be yeah. Before it gets way too late here. Clip 13.
[01:35:20] Unknown:
Tariffs are going to drive America better. Remember, we pay taxes into the Internal Revenue Service. Wouldn't it be amazing to stop paying taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and have the External Revenue Service of Make America Great Again replace our taxes? That's the goal of Donald Trump, and, I think he's gonna hit there. He's going to do everything he can to make that happen. Lower our taxes. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on seniors. Come on. This is an amazing country, and we are winning.
[01:35:54] Unknown:
I and and I love it. I think that's great, and I think that's something that we need to do. Alright. So I'm gonna end it right there because, we are way over the hour. What is it? We're an hour and forty minutes. Man, I'm tired. My voice is gone. Alright, folks. Well, that's gonna pretty much do it for us for tonight.

Welcome to the podcast where every episode promises an unfiltered dive into the eclectic, the profound, and sometimes the absurd. No topic is off limits. Nothing is sacred, sacred, and political correctness takes a back seat.
[00:01:11] Unknown:
Alright. Hey, folks. This is Joe Rusciello. It is great to be with you once again right here at the Asylum Studios, broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass, and we are going to do the best we can to bring you the best quality political talk radio that we can muster without all the bluster. Welcome to the podcast. Alright, folks. Well, it's been a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy couple of days. Last night, we talked a lot about, President Trump's, speech, the joint session of Congress. Folks are calling it a State of the Union, it really was not. But, you know, if you're a liberal, you don't understand those things, so that's par for the course, and that's okay.
But we are here with you tonight, and we're gonna talk a little bit about some of the things that took place, after the, joint session of Congress speech, which, by the way, was a great speech. I don't, you know, I don't know if you guys had a chance to to to listen to it, whether you saw it live or whether you just got clips, you know, from shows like ours or or elsewhere, or if you, caught, like, a a replay of it. I know that on Rumble, they were broadcasting a replay of it, on RBN, I think it was. But definitely worth the watch. You should definitely check that thing out. Where's the remote for the up top fan there? It's a little too much. There we go.
Alright. That should be better. But, it, it was a great speech. We talked a lot about it last night. I think the majority of the show was about, about the speech. So, we're not gonna belabor it too much tonight, but there are a few things that have taken place. You remember the, the GEICO caveman, Al Green, a representative from, district in Houston, had to be, escorted out by the sergeant of arms because of the constant interruptions. The heckling that took place of the president last night was just ridiculous. Democrats are completely unhinged. And, I I really do when I say I I say frequently that, you know, liberalism is a mental disorder. It really is.
It it truly is. Some folks were talking today about how, well, you know, the Republicans also, you know, they heckled Joe Biden, yet, twice. Twice. Do you know how many times, president Trump was interrupted yes, night before last with, with heckles? 33 times. 33 times compared to two. That's a bit much. And of course, you had the you had the staged, semi outrage protest, you know, ping pong paddles they were waving around there, you know, preprinted stuff. Yeah. Really organic, you know, absolutely organic. But, but, but, yeah, it it was a great speech, and there was a lot of headway made on it. It it laid out a a beautiful picture of the direction that President Trump wants to take, the American Union going forward the next four years and and hopefully beyond four years. We're hoping that, that, you know, that JD Vance will pick up the pick up the flag and carry it on, after president Trump serves out his his last four year term.
And, and who knows? You know, we may make we we may get twelve years of, of of solid conservatism. You look you look at the bench that the Republican Party has right now, it's it's just it's it's it's a really, really deep bench. You have a lot of brilliant minds on the Republican side, and it's, it's gonna be very interesting to watch how all of these things develop over the, over the coming years. But, again, we got a lot to talk about tonight. I think we have, how many clips did we pull for tonight? Let's see. We have, just a couple more than we did last night. So we had we have 15 clips for tonight, and, we had a we have a bunch of graphics that we're gonna be putting up too. We're gonna try to figure this out because, you know, I use the the rumble studio, and, even with the glasses, I'm kinda blind.
So it's it's hard to see the small print on the screen. You know, I have a monitor about, two arms lengths away from me, where I, you know, have everything listed up there. So it's hard for me to see some of the overlays, so that's why we get a little confused when we do them because you can't label the overlays for some reason. But, you know, the, the video clips, you can. So we have those all labeled. We're ready to go with that one. But before we get into the rest of the show, what we're gonna do right now is we are going to, what did I do? Okay. Let's go back here. Now I have everything there we go. Sorry.
We are going to let's see. Do just a couple of quick things here. Alright. There we go. Got it fixed. Alright. So we're gonna do a couple of quick things here before we get started. Basically, just some housekeeping stuff like we always do. So I'm gonna ask you to do just a couple of things. Just head over to our website, first of all, and, go over to our contact section, open up the web form, and, send us over a message. Let us know whatever's on your heart, whatever's in your mind. Any questions, comments, cares, concerns that you have, any suggestions that you might have. If you want me to shut up, just say that. I'm not gonna listen to you, but shut up. You can tell me that. That's fine. You can also drop comments here in the live chat on Rumble or comment right down there below us.
We'll make sure we get to those. The difference is is that the live chat disappears when the show ends and the comments stay forever. Well, until we delete them. But, but, definitely leave us a comment. Let us know what you're thinking, any questions or comments that you have. Also, don't forget when you get to the website, look for the support button, and just remember that this is a value for value podcast. And all that basically means is that, if you're receiving any value from what we're doing here, we're asking that you return that value in the form of a donation, and it could be in any amount. You could also donate your time, your talent, in addition to your treasure. We call that the three t's, your time, talent, treasure.
Time, self explanatory. Maybe you, maybe you have extra free time on your hands where you could help us to do research and, put together show notes and and so on and so forth. We could really help, you know, use some help with that. You know, mostly because I work a a full time forty hour week job on top of doing podcasts three to five nights a week. So it's, sometimes it gets a little hard to, to put everything here together, but I'm hoping that, somebody could step up and and help us out with that. Also, if you have a talent, like, maybe you, maybe you write music, maybe you can write a bumper for us, maybe you could, maybe you have a good reading voice, maybe you could read a script for us, or maybe you have, the ability to run a board, you know, mixing board. It takes something off our hands here while we're doing the show, because don't forget, I'm just here by myself 99.99% of the time.
So it's, it would be very, very helpful if someone had that type of a talent or skill that they could donate to us. And then, of course, your treasure.

We can sip our coffee, and enjoy our evening together. Alright. So a lot of things, like I said, I wanted to talk to you about tonight. So, I'm pretty sure you guys remember, what had happened last night at, or the night before rather, at, at the, joint session of congress, speech that president Trump made. It started off with, of course, you know, the the Democrats ignored president Trump coming in. They wouldn't shake hands, wouldn't acknowledge. All they did was hold up little stupid signs like, this isn't right, and, Elon steals, and and, you know, all that nonsense, like childish nonsense. But then it got even more interesting, and, we played this clip last night, and we played it again tonight just to kinda refresh your memory.
During at the opening of the speech, President Trump, of course, announced that America was back.
[00:17:17] Unknown:
He started going into the speech, and then, this happened. Let's click one. Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions.
[00:17:29] Unknown:
Jack O'Caveman.
[00:18:06] Unknown:
Mister Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
[00:18:54] Unknown:
And he's still going waving the cane.
[00:19:01] Unknown:
Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the house. Mister president, you continue. Thank you.
[00:19:11] Unknown:
Alright. So, so you remember that that happened that, at the speech. And, so today, the house voted to, to censure representative Al Green, after his removal from president Trump's, joint address to the congress on Tuesday night. And, interestingly, the, the measure actually passed with, believe it or not, 10 Democrats voting with Republicans to support it. Even Green voted himself present. You know? So, you know, but this is what the Democratic party has has devolved to. You know? I I said I said last night that, you know, the Democratic Party, you know, if if you're in my age group or over, okay, I'm I'm in my fifties, so, so if you're older than that, my age older, you know, the Democratic Party has changed dramatically over the over the last, twenty, thirty years.
It's become far far more socialist, far far more communist, far far more to the left, and, this is not the same Democratic party that you might remember from JFK, you know, and and and following. So, you know, things have definitely changed. I mean, they become the party of of childishness. Okay? And, it's it's it's a terrible, terrible, terrible example of of American politics, of what they've become. And just to just to highlight that, you know, and just to show you just how little regard the Democrats actually have for the American people, the American taxpayer. You know, you have Doge out here doing all this work, and trying to trim, you know, fraud, waste, and corruption, and yet you have House Democrats running around doing, music videos.
And I'm sure you've all seen this one. Well, I'm gonna play that one next, but, I'm sure you've all seen the the street fighter montage that was made. Let me let let me show you that, and then then we'll, we'll we'll we'll comment on it. But, I guess, you know, the Democrats really thought that that this video that they made, that they used, of course, taxpayer dollars to do, was going to, to to to, I guess, attract attention, or positive attention. But the only thing that's really drawn is is a lot of, a lot of mockery. You know? It it's absolutely ridiculous to look at. And folks, these these are elected representatives to the House of Representatives.
These are elected these people were elected to take a seat in the Congress, and this is how they're behaving. This is what they think is important to do, where you have so much fraud, so much waste, there's so much work to be done in their districts, and I know some of their districts. Remember I lived in New York, and one of the folks that is that that are gonna be shown in this video are, is from New York, and I know the district that that the representative, covers. So there's a lot of work to be done, and this is what they're spending their time doing. And mind you, this is what they're spending your money on.
Let's go to clip three. AOC. Looks like she was constipated. So was that supposed to impress? Is that supposed to scare people? I mean, it's scary to look at. Especially that one that was bouncing that way, it looked like she was constipated, you know? Like she's trying to push it out. Oh my, this is like the and but this is what your elected representatives are doing, and yet you people keep putting them there. I I I don't know what else to tell you. You gotta get These people need to be voted out. This is how they're spending your money. And I'll give you another example, one of the representatives you've seen in there, you had seen in there is Jasmine Crockett from from down here in Texas. You know, I mean, look, I love Texas, I I love it, I love it. I love it. Alright?
I got my cowboy hat in the other room. I got a couple of them actually in the other room. I'm wearing my boots. I love Texas. I love where I live in Texas. You know, it's a great little town. I love it. Limited in a lot of ways, but I love it. You have Al Green from Houston. You have Jasmine Crockett. I think she's from Dallas, if I'm not mistaken. I'm drawing a blank really quick. I mean, honestly, this this is the best that that you can put forward from Dallas, Houston, and really, I mean, come on. Someone needs to primary these people and get them out because this is it's an embarrassment. It's an absolute embarrassment.
So now, talk about Jasmine Crockett. So she she put together a video. I had to pause for a second. She put together a video, the night of the, of the joint address. She put it out. So it was Tuesday night, to to basically attack Donald Trump. And, look, and she's a radical, she's a racist, and and and overt racist, I mean, doesn't even hide it. And she put together with with some of her staff this this really an embarrassing video. When you see it, you'll you'll understand what I'm saying if you haven't seen it already. But it's an it's an embarrassing video that that that that basically shows herself lips lip syncing to, a Kendrick Lamar song, and, with her with her staff, and and it's it's just it's it's terrible, it's embarrassing, and and it it makes you why is this person in office?
This is the really this is the best you can do? This is the really the best you can do? Let's go to clip four.
[00:26:11] Unknown:
Clip four. Oh, no. It's a cultural divide. I'm a get it on the floor. 40 acres and a mule. This is bigger than the music. This is an elected representative They tried to rig the game, but you can't
[00:26:25] Unknown:
influence. In her congressional office Hey. I'm tripping. I'm sliding. I'm riding through the In the halls of congress, skating down the hallway. I mean, come on. Really? I mean, this woman's an idiot. An absolute idiot. Now, she does she does have a primary challenger, so I I would I would highly recommend folks you guys check out, Sheldon Daniels, for congress. He's an army veteran. He's an attorney, small business owner. He's a common sense fighter. He's he's he's and he's running to flip Texas thirty where, Jasmine Crockett is is sitting.
Alright? You guys, you gotta check him out. He has an x, he has an x, channel, or page rather called, shelled at sheldon davis. Sheldon, s h o l d o n, Daniels. I'm saying Davis, sorry. And, you you need to check him out because, you know, folks, you do need to get rid of this these types of people. This is this is such an embarrassment to American politics. You know, what the world must think when they see this crap. Absolute embarrassment. And you and you wonder why you wonder why the Democrats took such a beating in in the in the in the in the in the elections in in in '24 in '24. You know, and and honestly, I think going going forward too, I think, when the midterms comes, and and we're not we we can't get comfortable with this stuff, you know, we we we can't because anything can happen. But after seeing stuff like this, it makes you kinda wonder how the Democrats are gonna win any election going forward. You have dollar store Obama and Hakeem Jeffries, supposedly leading the party in in the house.
The party really has no leadership right now. The de facto leader of the party, I guess, would be Joe Biden. And, his brain is mush. So I guess it would fall on Obama, but he's been awfully quiet. So it it it's there's a it's a party with really no leadership, and you're seeing that. I mean, it's just running a mock. They're just they're acting like spoiled little, children that need a good spanking, to be honest with you. And I'm not offering to spank Jasmine Crockett. I mean, she's hood rat, and we don't wanna mess around with that at all. Right? Right.
Alright. I think we've covered enough of that stuff. So, as I was going through the news and going through some articles, I came across this this piece over at the conservative brief. You know, a lot of a lot of the, griping, complaining, and and and such that's coming out of out of the left has been about Elon Musk. You know, he's not elected to to, to be doing the work that he's doing and so on and so forth. But again and we've beaten this to a pulp. I I don't know how many times we talked about this already. Elon Musk is an is is appointed by the president. He's serving under the executive branch, just like Donald Trump appoints a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff. He appoints, staff to work in various departments, not all of which require confirmation through the senate, and, and and DOJ is one of those. So, he is effectively an employee of the federal government right now. He's not taking a salary. The salary he's supposed to get, he's been donating.
So, so the left, of course, is complaining, and and they're ridiculing him, and they're, you know, trying to come up with all kinds of crazy things. Like I said, at the at the speech Tuesday night, they were holding up signs saying Elon steals and, not elected and and and and and so far so on and so forth. So, today, Donald Trump, posted up on his Truth Social account. And if you don't have a Truth Social account, I really suggest you get one because, you know, before Donald Trump posts anything anywhere else or any any other information goes out, he always puts it up on truth social first. And that's a good metric for you to figure out if it's if it's real or not. There's a lot of posts that go out there that are attributed to Donald Trump that aren't really his. So, if he's gonna say something, he's gonna put it out on Truth Social First. So, earlier today, Donald Trump put this out there for, for Elon Musk. Elon is doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive.
Remember, we have a country to save, but ultimately, to make greater than ever before MAGA. So, you know, Donald Trump, he's he's putting down. He's doubling down on on Elon Musk. He's he's, he's pushing him to do to do more, to get even more aggressive in the work that he's been doing. And, I mean, I think he's been doing a great job as it is, and I and I can only imagine these things he's gonna uncover as he gets further into the into the government and government waste, especially when it gets to the IRS. I'm I'm dying to find out where all the tax money's going. So, you know, it would it this would this is this is a a great encouragement, I I think, to Elon Musk to go out there and do more. And, of course, it's bad news for the for the Liberals and Democrats, because, of Elon Musk's answer.
He posted, which I don't have a screen grab for it, but, he posted up on on, on x. He said, will do, mister president. So basically, you know, you know, the liberals and the democrats, they've they've been going after Elon Musk. They've been they've been fermenting a lot of anger, a lot of frustration towards him. I I know Tesla sales vehicles, have have gone down. A lot a number of of the, of the showrooms where where they sell their merchandise have been vandalized. Tesla charging stations have been vandalized and burned down. But that's just what the left does. I mean, you you you have to come to expect that from them. They're angry, they're scared, and then they're they're angry again because because of all the work that, that, that that that he's doing. And of course, you know, the media is not helping by spinning the lies that, you know, you're gonna lose your social security, you're gonna lose your, your Medicare, your Medicaid is going after all that. No. That's not what they're doing. They're going to root out waste, fraud, corruption.
I mean, we are spending money into these into these, these programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Where's the money going? It never seems to be enough money in there for when you need something or when somebody else well, we all well, we know of course that a lot of the money went to illegals, which we're gonna come to in a little bit. We're gonna be we have some some, some clips about, what took place at on the Hill today with, with some, sanctuary city mayors being grilled by Congress. We're gonna take a look at those things, shortly.
But, we know that millions billions correction. Billions of dollars have been wasted, poured out for things that they're not supposed to go to, or they weren't intended to go to. And I'm sure that a lot and and I'm sure that the reason for a lot of the resistance that you're getting from the Democrats, from the Liberals, from the Communist, from the Socialists, from the Globalists, is because a lot of these programs are being used as slush funds for their pockets. So, that would explain why they get they're getting so upset, and why they're so angry at it, And, you know, and I say power on man, do the job, do the work.
The American people are behind it. If you have 70 almost 70% of the American public, of the American people support the work that Doge is doing, and like like we said before, you never get 70% of the American people to support anything. But yet, on this particular subject, this particular matter, 70% of the American people are in favor of the work that Doge is doing. And then you have states like like Florida that are are implementing a a a state level Doge, and I think every state should do that. Every single state. God, I would love to see what what they would come up with in New York, my home state. I would love to see that.
I guarantee you, it it would it would it would dwarf most of what you're gonna find in the federal level. I mean, it it's New York is one of the most corrupt states there are. Not my favorite place in the world. And I got a I got a little thing going on with New York state right now too. So, yeah. We'll talk about that when we can. Alright. Let's see what else we got here for you. Well, Doge is is getting ready to go into the IRS. The IRS is preparing to give, Gavin Kilger Gavin Kliger, a young software engineer working with Doge access to sensitive taxpayer information as a senior adviser to the IRS as acting commissioner. The IRS is still working on the terms of his assignment. Of course, you know, they're they're criticizing that because, you know, oh, you're gonna get access to taxpayer information. Oh, yeah. Okay. So the DMV, every federal rate every federal agency, your your doctor, your your dentists, you know, they like, they don't have access to your your taxpayer information. Do you give me your Social Security number, which is your taxpayer ID? Believe it or not. You know, I don't know if you ever noticed that.
It says that on a lot of forms now. Your taxpayer ID is your Social Security number. So all that information is out there. It's all public information. Any anybody has access to it, so this is bullcrap. I mean, this is just it's a straw man. It's a straw argument that they're that they're, that they're trying to, to, to to put out there just to stir up people, get them nervous, get them worried, get them concerned, get them yelling and screaming on the streets about this stuff. That's not gonna work. Like I said, 70% of the American public is behind all this.
And of course, next they're looking to go to, looking to go over to Fort Knox, and I guarantee you right now that, see, I don't think they should announce where they're going next. I think they just just do it, just show up. You know what I mean? I think it'd be better because, you know right now they're over there at Fort Knox. I don't think there's any gold. I think it's all gone. I think it was all stolen, given away, whatever they did with it gone. So right now, you know, they're over there with bricks and some gold spray paint, you know, spray paint and all that stuff. Yeah.
Alright. Well, this is also interesting. This is this is I'm not gonna spend too much time on this because this this is just, I'm trying to keep the show down to the hour. But, but one thing that's very interesting and and and it it, of course, explains why certain members of of of Congress, the Senate, and and the House of Representatives are concerned about, Kash Patel, becoming the director of the FBI and now, Dan Bongino, who have a tremendous amount of respect for. Don't agree with him and everything, but, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dan Bongino. We grew up in the same area. We, you know, I don't know him. Don't don't misunderstand how I'm saying this. I don't I don't know the guy from a hole in the wall, but but, he served in law enforcement in many levels. I've served in law enforcement, myself and in different capacities.
So we have similar backgrounds in that regard. I didn't work at the level that he did with the secret service, but I did do some work with the federal government at in in some, uniform security work. But, the but the there's a lot of concern now about, the two of them coming in together at working at the at the FBI because of people like, Adam Schiff, Senator Schiff, Democrat in California, who, a a number of conservatives and a number of people are are are are are just, you know, they're pushing and pushing and pushing for Adam Schiff to be held responsible, legally accountable, I should say, for his role in in in pushing that now very well debunked claim that Donald Trump, was a was a a a dupe, I guess, for for president, Vladimir Putin during his first term. You remember that remember that whole thing that the the the so called Russian collusion story that went out there, the whole Russian collusion narrative, that shift and and the media and and so many others, pushed for years for the for years during, president Trump's first term. You remember all that stuff?
All the investigations, all the taxpayer money spent on on these on these bogus bullshit investigations. All of these, you know, independent prosecutors, in including, you know, John Durham, Robert Mueller. Do you remember you remember all that stuff? I'm sure it wasn't that long ago. You know, it seems like a long time ago, but it really wasn't. But it it wasn't that long ago. And of course, after at the conclusion of the Mueller investigation and Durham's investigation, there was absolutely zero evidence. None. Zero.
To support that claim that that, that, that Donald Trump and and was colluding with Russia. None whatsoever. Absolutely zero. No evidence of it whatsoever. But as a result of these investigations, it turned out that they uncovered plots basically to to to to to, to to to to to load on top of Donald Trump all of these false claims to to to basically hampers presidency, limit his his ability to carry out his foreign policy, and to damage his reputation and and and his name, and and and and, you know, by default, the country. And because of that, now you have several conservative voices, several across the board here. They they are calling for Kash Patel and the justice department to hold Schiff accountable.
And you know what? I think there should be an investigation into this. I think there should be something looked into. And whether whether he's he's, found, complicit or not, that's another story, but there does need to be investigations into this. You know, these these things cannot go unchecked. They have to be checked out. They have to be investigated. They have to be looked at. Because if you don't if you don't put a stop to it now, it's gonna continue on, continue on, and continue on, and it's gonna set precedent, and and it's just it's never gonna end. And then American politics are gonna devolve into, what it teetered on the edge of under the Biden administration of a Banana Republic.
You know, where where where people are persecuted because of their political stance. So hopefully, you know, we'll see we'll see some investigations. We'll see those things come about, and he should be worried. Now last week, actually, which is very unusual, Adam Schiff actually made a trip over to FBI headquarters in Washington. He went there basically to complain about the about, about, President Trump's choice of Kash Patel becoming the bureau's new director, and of course, he did that right before the the senate and we I think we played clips of that. It was like five of them standing outside there with no crowd support whatsoever. And I think that if you really look at the at the way that Adam Schiff has been behaving, you can honestly see and and and, that that he realizes that that that, that Kash Patel, you know, who who basically uncovered the Trump Russia collusion hoax is really, you know, pretty pretty well aware of what, this, of what Adam Schiff has been up to in in pushing this lie and turning it into, into one of two impeachment cases against Donald Trump. And, of course, that that, you know, cost you and I money.
It cost the country money. These sham hoaxes. Remember, democrat liberals, democrats are very, very comfortable spending others people's money on nonsense, on bullshit, which is what all that was. And if it doesn't if it and if it didn't get any worse, do you remember, a name a man by the name of Eric, Ciamorella? He was the whistleblower that was connected to Donald Trump's twenty nineteen impeachment. Well, guess what? He's back in the spotlight, and he's back in the spotlight about, regarding Adam Schiff's connection to Ukraine. Former Ukrainian Diplomat Andrei Telychenko alleged that he was present when Chiammerella met with then president Barack Obama and vice president Joe Joe Biden.
I was gonna say Joe Joe Obama. That's pretty much basically what it was. While they discussed Ukraine behind closed doors, Telashchenko's claims raised new concerns about Xiomarela's role in US Ukraine relations during Obama's president presidency, notably with policies that became a key factor in the first impeachment of president Donald Trump. Chiamorella was identified as the anonymous whistleblower during Trump's impeachment inquiry after famously filing a complaint about Trump's perfect phone call with then Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky.
And, President Trump has long accused Adam Schiff of lying and manipulating intelligence in order to push the narratives that weaponize the government against them. FBI director Cash Patel, who played a crucial role in exposing the Trump Russia Russia Russia collusion hoax, is now digging deep into Schiff's involvement. Patel has said he has strong feelings about Schiff's actions and probable ties to Chiamarella's role in Ukraine related controversies. Alright. And, let's see. What do we got? Let's see. We have we have a great clip here from, Chanel Reone from, from Fine Point. Let's, let's go to that clip five.
[00:46:07] Unknown:
That report about Shiromela was correct. And now we know Shiromela worked directly with Biden on Ukraine affairs. In fact, one of my sources, former diplomat and now wrongfully sanctioned Andrei Teloshenko, was in the room with Shira Mela when a Ukrainian contingent met with Obama and Biden to discuss Ukraine affairs. Shira Mela was an Obama Biden guy, and he colluded with Schiff. The implications I raise at the end of my broadcast from the White House Briefing Room stands today more than ever. Schiff is indeed in deep trouble. And the one person in all of Washington who knows this story inside and out is, of course, my friend and now FBI director, Kash Patel, a man who debunked the entire Russia hoax while working as a senior aide for congressman Devin Nunes on the House Intel Committee.
Cash not only remembers, he has very strong feelings about what needs to happen to Adam Schiff. He should be investigated
[00:47:13] Unknown:
because he lied to the world about his interactions with Carmela, who is a whistleblower, and I can't stress it enough, that started a presidential impeachment.
[00:47:21] Unknown:
Cash knew all this, but there was only so much he could do back then. Now that's not the case. Mark my words. Schiff will see the gallows of Cash's FBI, the political gallows that is. So godspeed, Cash. Director Patel, you have our full support. Is the douche chainsaw cutting too close to the bone? Congressman McCormick joins us next. We'll be right back.
[00:47:48] Unknown:
Alright. Good piece, by the way. Very good piece. And, short, yeah, but very good piece. And I I encourage you to check her out. Chanel Rion over at Fine Point. What else we got here? It's enough on Adam Schiff. Let's talk about something else. Well, this is good stuff. This this is here as close to home. Breitbart reports Trump begins construction of Texas border wall canceled by Joe Biden. So, back in business, Michael Banks, the, the the chief of the, US border patrol, that says, USBP began installing 18 foot tall border wall panels in the Rio Grande Valley sector, Hidalgo's County. Today, these panels were originally planned for installation during the prior Trump administration, but the contracts were canceled by the Biden administration.
So that is great news. So right here, you know, I live, you know, just about two miles from the border here. And, this is this is absolutely great news. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just the fact that, we had, we have the border wall going up, but we actually had a visit this week from our vice president, JD
[00:49:16] Unknown:
Vance. Alright. Well, good afternoon, everybody. It's it's great to be here. It's great to talk to some of the incredible people that we have, both at the local level, the Texas state level, and also, of course, our federal border patrol who are doing so many good things to keep us safe. And I I have some some bad news and some some good news. And the bad news is that because of what Joe Biden did at the southern border for four years, we had record increases in migrant crime, in fentanyl deaths, and in just floods and floods of people who shouldn't be in our country who came into The United States Of America. We also have a number of of ways in which the cartels became more advanced, better war fighters because Joe Biden opened up the American southern border and allowed the cartels to turn it into their playground. Now that's the bad news.
The good news is as president Trump said last night at the State of the Union, it turns out we didn't need new laws. We didn't need fancy legislation. We just needed a new president of The United States, and thank God that's exactly what we have. And I will say that the most heartening message that I take away from my visit here at the at the Texas border is the number of border patrol agents who have come up to me and said thank you or said because of this, we've cut the number of border crossings from 1,500 a day to 30 a day. Or the people who who have come up and said, we've seen a reduction in eighty five percent of the number of people who are dying at the American southern border. And every single day that we continue to keep this border safe, that means less migrant crime, that means less fentanyl coming into our communities, that means more safety and security for the people of The United States Of America. And, of course, we know the border problem, the border crisis under Biden's administration was a national crisis, but it acutely affected the communities right here. And I've already heard heartbreaking stories of people who are still picking up the pieces, local mayors who are still do dealing with the budgetary consequences of what the Joe Biden administration allowed to happen at the American southern border, and that too is something that president Trump is going to help address, help fix, and help solve. Now I I wanted to bring, secretary Hegseth and director Gabbard at DNI down here because, one, I obviously enjoy their company, and it's good to have them down here down here with me looking around today. But, unfortunately, we know that because of what's happened, the border crisis has become a matter of national intelligence, and it's also become something that requires the Department of Defense to engage with. I was talking with Paul Perez earlier.
The the the the drone technology that the cartels are using requires, unfortunately, a military response and military support. Support. So it was important for secretary Hegseth to see what's going on because we know that the millions and millions of people who were let in over the last four years, many of them are connected to foreign terrorists. It's important for our leader of national intelligence to get a sense of what's here on the ground. So before we take questions from the press, and all of us are are willing to take questions, I wanna give secretary Hegseth and then director Gabbard an opportunity to say a few words themselves.
[00:52:27] Unknown:
So, that was right here in Eagle Pass, by the way. So that was great. And, I I wish I would have known, you know, that that he was coming because I would have, you know, baked the cake. But no. I was wondering why yesterday was so quiet around here. You know? That was because they were here. But, but, you know, it was great that they were here. And, have a great great shot from, secretary Het Seth's, x account right here for you. At the border today with two great Americans, JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard, border security, national security. Difference under the this POTUS is night and day. Thanks for having us, mister VP. Well, we appreciate them being here. So we have, we have some comments from, from our DNI.
Let's play that.
[00:53:11] Unknown:
As director of national intelligence, there are a number of areas where we are focused. The president talked about in his speech, over 21,000,000 people have come across our borders illegally under Joe Biden's administration. There are many of them that we don't know who they are. They have not been vetted. We don't know where they are. I'll give you one quick example of one of the problems that we are getting after. From Central Asia, there were over 4,000 people who came across our borders using an ISIS affiliated network.
Our national, counterterrorism center went through and identified those individuals. There were hundreds of them, who were either known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. That information was provided to the Biden administration. You may remember in some of the news, a little over a hundred of those people were arrested in 2024. Of those who were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody. Only eight. The rest of them were released back into our country. Where are they? What are they doing? What may they be plotting? This is just the beginning. There are many, many areas that we need, to stay very focused on, working with Department of Homeland Security, working with the FBI to ensure that we're keeping the American people safe. Our counterterrorism center is working on making sure that we have that single source for vetting so that we can figure out who is actually in our country and identify those who pose a threat, and get them removed.
[00:54:40] Unknown:
Now, of course, our our Texas governor, Greg Abbott, was on hand to, to welcome, vice president Vance, secretary Hegseth, and DNI Gabbard, at and, held a border security roundtable, which was, which is very, very successful, and we're very happy that this administration is showing the, the interest and, the care and the concern and the concern for this these small border towns, like Eagle Pass. So, that that was fantastic. And, Governor Abbott met with the Trump delegation in Eagle Pass to provide a briefing on the state's efforts to provide secure to, to help secure the border. All our country all our country needed to secure the border was a new president, Abbott said in the post on x. Together, we will make America safe again.
It's just some numbers here for you. Since, Donald Trump came to office, his national security team led to a 9494% drop in migrant encounters in February alone compared to the prior year. Breitbart, Texas reported that the, just over 8,300 migrants arrested by border patrol agents who illegally crossed the Mexican border into The United States fell by 94% to a 40,000. A 40,641 encountered just one year ago. So a year ago, it was a 40,000. Today, this year, at the same time, just over 8,300. Breitbart goes on to say, perhaps even more shocking, the numbers dropped by 82% from December president Joe Biden's last full month in office. As the transition of power took place in January, the encounter number began to plummet, falling to just over 29,000.
On February 21, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lieutenant Chris Olivares reported the daily migrant apprehension rate along the Southwest border fell below 200 for the first time when agents accounted a 99 migrants. By February 22, the number fell to 85. You see, folks, you don't need legislation. All you need to do is enforce the laws that are already in place. And to do that, as president Trump aptly stated yesterday, Tuesday rather, all you needed was a new president. You needed a president that was willing to close the border. For whatever reason for whatever reason, Joe Biden refused to close the border.
Whatever reason that is, I I I'm not gonna get into my thoughts on it right now because we're running out of time, but I I but for whatever reason that Joe Biden had, he did not wanna close the border. The American people suffered. That's treasonous. I said it. Alright. Doge. Let's get to some Doge news, and then we'll we'll start to wrap this thing up because we're over the hour already. So Doge news. Doge cancels NIH grants for transgender experiments on animals. That's right. You heard it here first. No. You didn't. But, the Department of Government Efficiency, this week announced the cancellation of several National Institutes of Health grants that were granted or geared towards transgender transgender experiments on animals.
$8,000,000 for making mice transgender. Can you believe that? Doge tweeted, yesterday, NIH canceled several grants seven grants for transgenic experiments of on animals, including 532,000 to use mouse model to use a mouse model to investigate the effects of cross sex testosterone treatment and 33,000 to test feminizing hormone therapy in a male rat. You know, folks, this this is your money. Your money. Our money that your government is wasting or was wasting. And thank God it's it's it's it's been stopped. Earlier this year, the House Oversight Committee confirmed that $241,000,000 had been spent on transgender animal testing, and senior vice president of advocacy of public policy at White Coat Waste Project, Justin Goodman, told lawmakers that the figure was merely the floor on such research.
And then last week, representative Eli Crane, interviewed Justin Goodman who tells Representative Crane that at least $241,000,000 taxpayer money was spent on transgender animal testing. In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys who are being surgically mutilated and and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic females. Let's take a look. Clip eight.
[01:00:27] Unknown:
It was just yesterday that I asked chairman Comer if, we could get some therapy dogs up here, because of some of the meltdowns that were going on. I had no idea I'd walk into this hearing today and, see three, beautiful beagle puppies, and I've, noticed that my mood's already improved. So thank you guys for bringing them there. I think we should make it mandatory. We also talked about in the oversight committee hearing yesterday that some of the ridiculous programs and initiatives that need to be cut from our bloated government. And it seems like a lot of these studies are just another example of our senseless out of control spending by bureaucrats who never really get held accountable.
I wanna start with you, mister Goodman. You said you have estimated over $20,000,000,000 in taxpayer money wasted on ineffective animal research. Is that correct, sir? Yes.
[01:01:21] Unknown:
Wow.
[01:01:23] Unknown:
Mister Goodman, did you also say that two hun it was your estimation that 242 hundred and $41,000,000 was spent for transgender animal testing?
[01:01:34] Unknown:
Yes. And that's, I would say, is the floor, not the ceiling, because the information on federal databases is not it was pretty incomplete.
[01:01:43] Unknown:
So So you think we're gonna find out it that it was much more money than that for Yes. Transgender animal testing? Yes. Can you describe what exactly the American people's taxpayer dollars were spent on regarding transgender animal testing? Yeah.
[01:02:00] Unknown:
In a lot of these cases, they're involved mice, rats, monkeys who are being, surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male or male to female gender transitions, gender affirming ther hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological, and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you've transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you've put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them. Are you kidding me? And in the case that the chairwoman the example the chairwoman gave, there was a $1,100,000 grant to give female lab rats testosterone to mimic transgender male humans and then overdose them with this party drug to see if animals who were taking test, female animals taking testosterone were more likely to overdose on the sex party drug than animals who are not taking testosterone.
[01:03:15] Unknown:
Mister Goodman, are many of these taxpayer funded animal studies shared with the public, or is there a significant oversight of this research?
[01:03:24] Unknown:
You essentially needed a degree in information technology to navigate the federal spending databases to find any of this stuff. So so what you found is we're not being very transparent with what we're spending these funds on? Not at all, and it's by design. Did you say that doctor Fauci,
[01:03:41] Unknown:
in your estimation, had funded close to 95% of these animal, research projects?
[01:03:47] Unknown:
Yeah. In our analysis, doctor Fauci funded about 95% of the transgender animal experiments.
[01:03:53] Unknown:
K. I found in, found in some research that the EPA under President Trump is planning to reduce the agency's animal testing by 30% by 2025 and completely by 2035. Mister Goodman, can you explain why that's a win for the American taxpayer?
[01:04:11] Unknown:
Absolutely. Animal testing is incredibly time intensive, inaccurate, and expensive, and it's not very good at predicting the human health effects or environmental effects of, chemicals and pesticides. And right now, what we are doing to test human effects is poisoning lab animals, forcing them to breathe wildfire smoke simulated in a laboratory by burning different, types of foliage and pumping into animals' cages, making them obese to simulate what it would be like for obese people to be exposed to wildfire smoke, shooting off handguns and rifles and forcing animals to breathe the, emissions and gun control experiments, and the list goes on and on. And that's what's happening currently at the EPA after the Biden administration overturned the Trump plan to phase out animal testing.
[01:04:59] Unknown:
Mister Goodman, one more question. You've also been outspoken about the COVID nineteen outbreak stemming from doctor Fauci's US funded research at China's Wuhan lab. What are the public health risk if we continue some of these outrageous animal studies?
[01:05:15] Unknown:
We're flirt flirting with disaster if we continue to fund dangerous virus research both abroad, like in Colorado where they're trying Fauci greenlit this bat lab. They're trying to import hundreds of bats from Asia to build a new lab in Colorado to do virus experiments with Ebola, Nipah, Lhasa, deadly viruses for which there's no cure. It's just a matter of time before we have another pandemic on our hands if we let mad scientists run amok with our money.
[01:05:39] Unknown:
Thank you. I yield back. This is absolutely disgusting.
[01:05:44] Unknown:
Disgusting. I mean, aside from the fact that, you know, I'm I'm an animal lover. I have two absolutely beautiful French bulldogs that I I adore, and to think that there are people that are torturing these animals in the name of science. I know it's another issue altogether. I'm sorry. But $240,000,000, and they say that that's just the floor of how much your money, your tax money, has gone to funding these mad scientist tests and experiments on animals. I mean, really, transgender animals? I mean, come on. And and and you heard mister Goodman say very clearly, how how is it possible that you could take an animal, and and and project what something that you do to a human being would, especially a dog.
A dog isn't even remotely close to a human being, biologically, and that it it as far as anatomy goes. Anatomically, that was the word. Sorry. I mean, come on, man. Folks, this is just this is just sick, sick stuff. Alright. So I have, I have a few more things that I wanted to get to. I don't know if I'm gonna go into or not, but I mean, this was this was one that I really enjoyed that I wanted to talk about. Because I I I happen to like this guy. This guy's pretty pretty cool, and I and I'm I'm surprised that that he still has a job, to be quite honest with you. I'm talking about Scott Jennings over at CNN.
Man, this guy, every time he is on a show, just just schools. Schools. His co hosts and his guests. I mean, this guy, you know, he is he he's he's a conservative. And like I said, I don't know how he still has a job on CNN. He makes he makes his co work his coworkers, his co host look like fools. In a recent, in a recent show, they were talking about, they were talking about chickens and the price of eggs and and and so forth. So I wanna play this clip for you. It's about two minutes. Alright? This is, this is Scott Jennings, clip nine.
[01:08:32] Unknown:
Well, I think they acknowledge as they go. They've obviously updated the information they've put out, on their website. And I think they have some political leash here to make a few mistakes because people look at this government. I mean, today, we spend about $6,200,000,000,000. In 2019, we spent $4,450,000,000,000. How did we go from 4 and a half trillion to 6,200,000,000,000.0?
[01:08:53] Unknown:
Tax class CRs.
[01:08:55] Unknown:
No. This is spending. This is federal spending. And so and and and on the and on the VA memo these mistakes are impacting everyone's lives. Lives.
[01:09:02] Unknown:
On the VA memo that we've been talking about, these job cuts, if you read the memo, they're going back to 2019
[01:09:08] Unknown:
staffing levels. The VA operated in 2019. We somehow lived with those staffing levels. Yeah. But you know it was passed in between then, the PAC jack, which is to help burn pit bulls. I know. I know. That's why it expanded. I know. But here's here's the point that Republicans made me more people who needed it eligible who who were eligible to Do we need 70,000
[01:09:24] Unknown:
federal workers to cover it? My question and what the Republicans are asking is simply this.
[01:09:29] Unknown:
Is it not possible for us to approach getting back to 2019 spending levels? Or maybe did we go too far with the size of government? It always gets bigger. It never gets smaller. There will be sob stories. There will be sad stories, but overall fiscal health of this country matters. It can't be a talking point that these are sob stories. These are, again, people's livelihoods and also the health of this country. Right? They have some of these mistakes that people keep talking about are gutting our agencies that are taking care of, I don't know, paying attention to the bird flu, Ebola. These things that actually can have detrimental impacts on We have Ebola in The United States? Well, we are helping the world be a safer place as well. I on the bird flu, you know, we did Biden slaughtered all the chickens. I don't know if there's any left to kill. Oh my god. On that note. Come on. Come on, Scott. It was a bloodbath. You all love that word. You can laugh about this, but these are things that people are actually scared about. I mean, measles is coming back. There's so many things that are happening that our federal government makes you want Elon Musk calls the measles? I am saying what is happening in this government right now with Donald Trump appoint Donald Trump calls the measles? I am saying that what is happening in this federal government under Donald Trump, allowing Elon Musk and allowing all these people that he appointed to run this government like this is actually making us unsafer for the Americans. And he calls the measles. You heard it here first. Here. Scott's not what I said, Johnson. Not what you said.
[01:10:44] Unknown:
So yeah. I I love this guy. He he's great. But, I I just wanted to to comment on on on this one thing. I I forgot. It happens. Look, I'm I'm getting old, man. You know? He he he he pointed out so the one thing about conservatives versus liberals is is that conservatives talk in facts 99% of the time. There's a few that don't. Every now and then I fall into the emotional side, but liberals mostly talk about emotions, through emotions. But he made up a very good point. You know, nothing that Elon Musk is doing, nothing that Donald Trump is doing is causing these diseases. Okay? You're talking about diseases that, firstly, there there is no Ebola in The United States. Alright? And it's not The United States' job to go around healing the world. Alright? We we have our own problems to deal with, and we need to do that in and of ourselves. So, and and then, you know, he made another good point with, with with the chickens.
Alright? Chickens under the Biden mist they slaughtered millions and millions of chickens, which of course, which caused the prices of eggs to go up and and chicken, you know, itself to go up at the supermarkets. You know, it's he I I can't I can't argue with him on his points. They can. They can try, but you can't. It's it's impossible. And just to go back to the chickens, I wanted to show you this one too because this is really funny. Clip, 10. Yeah.
[01:12:35] Unknown:
On the screen for all the viewers to see, a view with your chicken. I don't know what this chicken's name is. Maybe you do. Never name the chickens. Oh, that's that's sad. Well But seriously, is this realistic? Like, is this a realistic solution? Like, I mean, it's or is it a little bit out of touch with I mean,
[01:12:51] Unknown:
you know, there's a lot of people who, you know, have no backyard to put a chicken in, for example. That's true. Well, first of all, I would highly recommend this hobby to anybody. It's been the most fulfilling and worthwhile thing. I started with six, and now I have 35. You have 35 chickens? And I'm like the Pablo Excobar of my neighborhood. Oh my god. It's outrageous the amount of eggs I get every single day. And I know nobody come over at once, but I did hear you sometimes bring them here to CNN and share I have brought eggs here. Look. I think she was making light of the idea that backyard chicken farming is taking off. But what is true is that we killed millions upon millions upon millions of chickens, which is why egg prices are high today. I what I hope is that the agriculture department looks at this chicken calling policy.
I think we may have killed too many. But if you wanna know why the egg prices are high, it's not because of what anything Donald Trump is. It's just we killed all the chickens that lay all the eggs. No. Not a problem at my house. My chickens are in a very nice secluded backyard area. They're not interacting with any other, infected animals. Well taken care of, well fed. You're really defensive about Well, I
[01:13:50] Unknown:
I disagree with them a lot on a lot of thing.
[01:13:53] Unknown:
So yeah. I just wanted to show you that for fun. But Scott Jennings, man, I don't know how this guy still has a job. I I I really don't. I really don't. And what I wanted to say before, and it just it just popped back in my head. You know, they talk about these sob stories. Right? About these people that are losing their jobs. Alright. Well, what about when Joe Biden took office his first day and closed the Excel pipeline and 10,000 people lost their jobs and his comment was his comment was what? Do you remember what his comment was? Learn to code.
Alright. That was his comment. I don't recall seeing any puff pieces on on sixty minutes. I don't recall seeing any, any any interviews being being conducted with with these, pipeline workers where they were in tears walking away from the job. How are they gonna support their families now? None of it. Media silence, dead silent, nothing to say about it whatsoever. Learn to code was the, was was the response from the Biden administration. Alright? Again, I said the other day, I don't have any sympathy for these peep these federal employees that have been milking the job for for years, collecting paychecks, doing little to nothing.
Little look. I'm gonna get in trouble for this, I know. But look, I worked for the city of New York for twenty three to twenty five years. If you wanna count in some other work that I did with the city prior to my establishing my law enforcement career. I worked for the city for twenty plus years. Okay. Let's just say that. Alright. I have seen two sides of the of the employments, of the employment, arrangement. I have seen city workers that have gone above and beyond earning their paycheck, not getting anything extra for the above and beyond that they've done. And then I've seen the the the worker that just does the bare minimum just to get by.
And at the end of the day they both get the same paycheck, you know, you know what I'm saying? I've seen it. It breeds laziness. Job security, it breeds laziness. Work in the private sector, and try to do and get away with the things that you get away with when you work as a civil servant or as a public servant or or the federal level, city, state, whatever, you're you're not gonna succeed because it doesn't it it doesn't translate. Okay? That's what they're seeing now with Doge looking at the work they're doing because Doge is looking at it from a corporate private sector type mindset, management mindset.
Alright. So these folks are are are are are seeing what it's like to work in the private sector. Okay? Hence, the emails. Five bullet points, which you did last week. I work in the private sector now. Look, I worked, like I said, twenty plus years for the city, you know, I I came into the private sector. I'm working in the private sector in my regular job. I get these evaluations. I get these emails. I get these things. What did you do this week? What did you do today? What did you do last two hours? It's accountability.
And these employees don't wanna be accountable for what they do. So when they lose their position because of they can't be accountable for what they've done, they go on the news. And of course, the left wing media sides with the Fed, they side with the government employee. Oh, the poor government employee. Oh, the poor USAID worker that lost their job. Oh, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo. I have no sympathy. You've been taking my money for years and done nothing with it except enrich yourself. I don't care. Learn to code. Go to go to nursing school, become a CNA, and see what a what a what a certified nurse aide has to do every day.
Do that. Go to McDonald's, flip burgers. It's like I told my kids. You need a job? I guarantee you can go to McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, wherever. You'll get a job. Get a job. Anyway, let's go on. Because I wanna try to wrap this up. Alright. I'm gonna skip that one for today, and I wanna go to this one. So, today, the members of Congress, I alluded to this earlier, Anna polly Anna pollyna Luna, who I adore. You know, so she's listening if she's single. I don't know if she's single or not. You know? I'm single. You know? No rings. So they they hosted some mayors from from the, from, Sanctuary Cities today. And, it was a I'm gonna use it I'm gonna use a very dangerous word in in the liberal mind.
Okay? Very dangerous. So if you if you're a liberal and you're listening, you know, you know, cover your ears. Okay? I don't wanna upset you and trigger you. It was a bloodbath. It was a bloodbath. It it truly was. I have a couple of clips I wanna play for you, and, we're gonna we're gonna take a look at those in just a moment here. But, when I tell you, when you hear the testimony from these mayors, from these Democrat blue sanctuary cities, it's gonna make your blood boil. First of all, most of them couldn't answer the question. Virginia Fox got every one of them to admit how much they were spending on illegal aliens over the last four years.
And when you hear it when you hear it, it's good it it well, let let me let me play that for you. Okay? Let's go to, 11, clip 11. This is Virginia Fox.
[01:20:54] Unknown:
Well, that's real calm. Time's expired. She recognizes doctor Fox from North Carolina.
[01:20:58] Unknown:
Thank you, mister chairman. Mayor Johnson, in the last four years, how much has Chicago spent on care for illegal aliens?
[01:21:09] Unknown:
Thank you for that question, congresswoman. So since 2022, since the governor of Texas
[01:21:19] Unknown:
began shipping me a number. I don't I don't need a speech. Just tell me a number. So since 2022,
[01:21:26] Unknown:
since the governor of Texas was shipping individuals to cities across this country, the city's budget, roughly 1% of the city's budget over the course of four years?
[01:21:38] Unknown:
Mayor Johnston, the same question, and I don't need a speech, just a number.
[01:21:45] Unknown:
Thank you, doctor. Congresswoman. Thank you, congresswoman. It's 79,000,000 over the last two and a half years.
[01:21:52] Unknown:
Mayor Adams, same question. How much has New York spent to care for illegal aliens?
[01:22:00] Unknown:
Approximately $6,900,000,000 went out of our taxpayers' funds. Mayor Wu, same question. $6,000,000,000
[01:22:08] Unknown:
monthly. Spent care for illegal aliens in the last four years? We do not ask about immigration status and giving city services and providing that access, so we do not have a number.
[01:22:20] Unknown:
Taxpayers been bearing the brunt of the massive wave of illegal aliens who've entered The United States, the Biden administration seemingly declared taxpayers and hardworking Americans collateral damage in the pursuit of open borders. Again, mayor Johnson, are NGOs providing services to illegal aliens in Chicago?
[01:22:42] Unknown:
In accordance with the welcoming city ordinance, our sister agencies or city departments, we do not seek the status of any individual that is seeking service.
[01:22:55] Unknown:
Mayor Johnston, are NGOs providing services to illegal aliens in Denver?
[01:23:02] Unknown:
Thank you, ma'am. When folks arrive on the streets, without food or resources or shelter, we do provide food or shelter regardless of where folks arrive from. Mayor Adams, same question.
[01:23:13] Unknown:
Yes. In combination of city agencies and nonprofits, we responded to the migrant asylum seekers humanitarian crisis that hit our city.
[01:23:23] Unknown:
And mayor Wu, I assume you don't know their status, but do you know if there are NGOs are providing services to people arriving in your city without any kind of documentation?
[01:23:36] Unknown:
There are community organizations, many of them in Boston, who seek to serve all of our Boston residents.
[01:23:43] Unknown:
Congress must provide oversight and ensure
[01:23:50] Unknown:
So mayor Adams, the mayor of my hometown, 6,900,000,000.0 taxpayer dollars went to illegals. $574,500,000 went to, illegals in Chicago. Seventy Nine Million in in in, Denver. Boston doesn't ask anybody any questions about their status, so of course, they don't know, any numbers. But just I I just want you to think about just think about the money that was spent. Just just think about that. Just think about how that money could have benefited Americans. Just think about how that money could have taken care of, well, let's just say, veterans who are living on the street.
Homeless veterans, men and women who have served their country honorably, have nowhere to go, Can't get any assistance from the federal government because the money is being diverted to people who are here illegally. Criminals breaking the law. It's disgusting. It it it truly truly is. But probably the the most interesting, exchange today took place with representative Byron Donalds. And, the more I watch Byron Donalds, the more I I appreciate him. And I I want you to check this out. This is, this is clip 12. It's about two and a half minutes. Okay? I want I want you to check it out, the whole thing.
[01:26:00] Unknown:
Did your city spend on illegal immigration? Do you have a round number?
[01:26:04] Unknown:
Over the last couple years on all newcomers, whatever their status was, it's around 79,000,000 since 2022. Seventy '9 million. Mayor Johnson,
[01:26:12] Unknown:
Chicago. How much is the city of Chicago spent on illegal immigration?
[01:26:16] Unknown:
If you're referring to the twenty twenty two up to to twenty twenty four of the buses coming from Texas,
[01:26:22] Unknown:
roughly the same percentage of the state of Texas, about 1% of our overall budget. What is that? Because we don't have the city's budget in front of me. Numbers. It's 1%. And if you want the actual calculation, we can make sure someone You're the mayor. You don't have the math in front of you? It's 1% of the overall budget over the last four years. You were failing your the same number that we sent from us. New York actually spoke on legal immigration. Mayor Johnson, I'm I already asked you. You don't have a hard number. And if you don't have a hard number, you're not running your city well. Mayor Adams, how much did the City Of New York actually spend on illegal immigration? 6,900,000,000.0
[01:26:54] Unknown:
of taxpayers. $6,900,000,000
[01:26:58] Unknown:
of taxpayer money on a problem that was fostered on the American people. Mayor Wu, in the city of Boston, how much did you spend? We don't ask about immigration status in delivering cities. You don't ask about how much money the city of Boston has spent on illegal immigration or out of your mind. Between immigration status Do you manage your budget or not, mayor? That is how we keep our state safe. Numbers to prove it. I manage my budget. I have a triple a bond rating dating back ten years. So to the city of Boston, just understand that your mayor does not care how much of your resources she has spent on people who are not citizens The city of Boston of Boston. Of having people outside Boston Mister Bair, I have a question for you because I understand Cato's perspective when it comes to illegal immigration. I understand that the Cato Institute for a long time has had a standard of actually having open immigration into The United States. Generally speaking, I don't wanna get into We support legal immigration.
We want immigration to be legal. So let me ask you this question. Because one of the great, libertarians of the modern era, Milton Friedman, famously said, you can either have open borders or a welfare state, but you have to choose. Mister Beer, what do you choose?
[01:28:07] Unknown:
Milton Friedman said he wanted to allow illegal immigration to continue. I disagree with Milton Friedman's position on that. We should have legal immigration
[01:28:15] Unknown:
and build a wall around the welfare state, not around the country. That's in the best interest of taxpayers. And I would argue that under the current system where you have sanctuary cities popping up, it is not possible to build that wall. You feel America has to choose can't. Mister Beer, you're done. America has to choose between securing our nation or protecting the taxpayer. I choose secure the nation. I yield
[01:28:37] Unknown:
back. Absolutely. Back, Jerod. Recognizes mister Bell.
[01:28:41] Unknown:
That was brutal. You I'm look. I love that stuff. That's great stuff. Now, I don't know if you've ever been on the receiving end of a questioning like that. I I I have once, one time in my career. And it's not the most pleasant thing in the world, but folks, this is this is serious stuff, man. This is serious stuff. This is your money. And the mayor from Boston, what an arrogant, obnoxious person. I don't know, Boston. I think you need to think things through with this one. And mind you, this is the same woman, by the way, who, just last week, after a a horrible knife attack where several people were injured, died, including the the the person with the knife, the the the the assailant, before they even expressed any kind of concern over their citizens that were injured in this unprovoked attack expressed their condol her condolences to the family of the assailant.
Do you believe that? Good grief. Good grief, man. Good grief. Alright. I got one more for you, and, I I I was I really wanted to get to this one, so I'm I'm sorry. But, I wanna get to this one. And because this is something that I am incredibly in favor of for many, many, many reasons. And that is, the US Commerce Secretary says Trump is working on abolishing income tax payments to the IRS. This is huge. Huge. Absolutely huge. This is something that Donald Trump had had mentioned on the campaign trail. This is one of the promises that he made, that he was going to look at and explore. And, this is something that, that that I I personally think needs to happen. First of all, I think and this is where the libertarian side of me comes out. Like like I tell folks, you know, I'm I'm a conservatarian. I am a conservative, but I'm also libertarian in a lot of ways. So this is the conservatarian portion of it coming out of me. I think personally taxation is is theft. I think taxation is immoral.
Personal income taxes is what I'm talking about. I think that, I I think that the federal government has absolutely no right to your income. None whatsoever, has no business knowing where you get it from, how you get it, how much you get, and expect you to pay. It's like paying a vig. Those of you from New York know what I'm talking about, or Chicago, you know what I'm talking about. You pay all this money in income taxes, almost in most cases, almost 38% of your income goes to the federal government in taxes, and you get nothing for it. You need a government service, forget it, because they're giving it to illegals first. Your money is going to pay for these things, $6,900,000,000 to illegal immigrants in New York.
Trillions of dollars spent that there's no accountability for. Nobody knows where it's going. This is what Doge is finding out. But this, this is big. No. I I I understand that you can't do this strictly by executive order. We know that because even though it was it was, inappropriate oh, not inappropriate. I guess, inappropriate, or or wasn't properly, ratified the, thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the, the American Union. That's the that's the, that's the amendment that established the personal income tax. Since it took an act of congress to to install install it, it would take an act of Congress to abolish it.
Now is the time to do that because now you have the House, the Senate, and the White House, you can do that. You need to starve the beast. That's that's the whole thing. You take the personal income tax away from the federal government, you starve the beast. It's gonna force it to to decrease. It's gonna force it to downsize, downscale, whatever you wanna call it. And we can go right back to the tariffs. Just like we did prior to the thirteenth or the sixteenth amendment. I will correct myself, admonish myself tomorrow, on tomorrow's show, and I'll make sure I get it right. But it was 1913 that the income tax came it was the sixteenth amendment that tried. Okay. So thirteen, sixteen. Alright. So, regardless, it needs to be abolished, it needs to be gotten rid of, it needs to be ended.
You need tax forgiveness. You need to eliminate all of it. Just like property taxes, you need to eliminate property taxes. Florida's on the right track with that. I'm hoping Texas follows suit. I know Texas is talking about a rebate on, the $24,000,000,000 excess they have in in property taxes, but a bottle of such why are you still paying for property that you already paid off? You spent thirty years paying for your your home and your land, but yet you miss a property tax payment, and they can still come and take it away from you. So who really owns it? You're leasing it from the from the government.
It needs to be gotten rid of. But, be yeah. Before it gets way too late here. Clip 13.
[01:35:20] Unknown:
Tariffs are going to drive America better. Remember, we pay taxes into the Internal Revenue Service. Wouldn't it be amazing to stop paying taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and have the External Revenue Service of Make America Great Again replace our taxes? That's the goal of Donald Trump, and, I think he's gonna hit there. He's going to do everything he can to make that happen. Lower our taxes. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on seniors. Come on. This is an amazing country, and we are winning.
[01:35:54] Unknown:
I and and I love it. I think that's great, and I think that's something that we need to do. Alright. So I'm gonna end it right there because, we are way over the hour. What is it?
