Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We have a problem back here at home with Haitian
- 0:03Speaker 1: immigrants who continued to be rewarded for their illegal law
- 0:06Speaker 1: breaking and coming into this country and staying here and
- 0:09Speaker 1: taking advantage of taxpayers by Republicans. By Republicans, first, it
- 0:14Speaker 1: was Democrats because what happened was under Joe Biden, he
- 0:17Speaker 1: left three hundred and fifty thousand Haitians have temporary protected
- 0:21Speaker 1: status in the United States, and as soon as Trump
- 0:24Speaker 1: got in, he revoked that, saying Haiti is no longer
- 0:27Speaker 1: a danger. You have nothing you need to be protected from.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Go home.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Well, the Democrats sued, and of course they got a
- 0:35Speaker 1: federal district judge to say Trump was out a line.
- 0:38Speaker 1: You can't enforce that, and that's a case that's about
- 0:40Speaker 1: to go up to the US Supreme Court at the
- 0:42Speaker 1: end of April. But in the meantime, you know, just
- 0:45Speaker 1: in case the Supreme Court does the right thing, the
- 0:49Speaker 1: Republicans decided to try to get in the way of
- 0:52Speaker 1: that relief being provided to us and the Trump administration,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and some twenty of them sided with Demomocrats in the
- 1:00Speaker 1: House to pass a bill that would continue the temporary
- 1:05Speaker 1: protected status for the Haitians. It passed the House thanks
- 1:11Speaker 1: to Republicans who thought this was a good idea. It's
- 1:13Speaker 1: such a betrayal. I mean it's it is a betrayal.
- 1:17Speaker 1: They understand exactly what the Trump agenda was and why
- 1:21Speaker 1: he was put in office, why they're in office, and
- 1:23Speaker 1: it's certainly not to make it easier on illegals. So
- 1:28Speaker 1: multiple multiple Republicans, including Maria Salazar, our friend down in Florida,
- 1:34Speaker 1: Republican who's pushing the amnesty bill right now. Of course
- 1:38Speaker 1: she voted for this. Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Carlos Jimenez,
- 1:44Speaker 1: Nicole Mariotakis, Mario Diaz, Ballard, Mike Lawler of New York.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, he's from New York. He made the
- 1:53Speaker 3: point later that she's in New Yorker, she doesn't live here,
- 1:55Speaker 3: and how he lives in life, I don't know. I
- 1:58Speaker 3: result Montana, some western state, but I'm a New Yorker
- 2:02Speaker 3: and I don't like what Lawla and Mario Takis are doing.
- 2:05Speaker 3: She actually used the F word. She's like, ep you Lawler,
- 2:09Speaker 3: Mario Takis doesn't matter. I like Megan Kelly less and
- 2:13Speaker 3: less every day. I don't pay any attention to her anymore. Died.
- 2:17Speaker 3: She's the enemy at this point. I'm sorry, she just is.
- 2:20Speaker 3: She's up Tucker Calson's ass olp bar, she's checking for polyps.
- 2:24Speaker 3: So no thanks. You can sell yourself as a sorry
- 2:28Speaker 3: Maureen Walsh, make up, Maureen, I'm sorry. She sells herself
- 2:31Speaker 3: is one thing, but she's not. And when you start
- 2:34Speaker 3: buddying up like she does to anti Semites, you become
- 2:38Speaker 3: one yourself. So I don't ready care what she said.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I just played it to piss off Mike Lawler. So
- 2:43Speaker 3: what that said here? He is mister salt Mike Lawler.
- 2:48Speaker 3: I mean it's still out there for what it's worth.
- 2:51Speaker 3: The Amnesty Build, the Dignity Actor, the Amnesty Build, the
- 2:54Speaker 3: Amnesty build, they're still breaking your balls.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Huh. Listen, it's fine. If you can't stand the heat,
- 3:00Speaker 2: don't get in the kitchen. The fact is these are serious,
- 3:03Speaker 2: complex issues, and they're way more nuanced than people want
- 3:09Speaker 2: to make them. The people that are here on temporary
- 3:12Speaker 2: protected status are here lawfully. They are lawfully in the country.
- 3:17Speaker 2: They have work authorization, which means that they are participating
- 3:23Speaker 2: in our workforce, which also means they're paying taxes. But
- 3:26Speaker 2: for the Haitian population, in particular, a third of them
- 3:31Speaker 2: are working in our healthcare system. That means they're nurses
- 3:34Speaker 2: in our hospitals, they're working in our nursing homes, taking
- 3:37Speaker 2: care of our seniors, they're providing care to the intellectually
- 3:40Speaker 2: and developmentally disabled. My point has been very simple. The
- 3:45Speaker 2: President has the authority to nd GPS. I am not
- 3:49Speaker 2: arguing that, but by the way, Congress has the authority
- 3:52Speaker 2: to legislate. Apparently Megan Kelly doesn't believe that, but the
- 3:56Speaker 2: fact is that, yes, the President, under the laws, the
- 4:00Speaker 2: authority to end or extend TPS. I'm not objecting to
- 4:05Speaker 2: his ending TPS. What I am saying is, if you're
- 4:09Speaker 2: going to do it, do it wisely and don't just
- 4:12Speaker 2: cut it off all at once. But you have to
- 4:16Speaker 2: have a transition period during which these immigration cases are
- 4:22Speaker 2: being adjudicate, because, by the way, what will happen is, okay,
- 4:25Speaker 2: TPS ends, there's a six month window that these cases
- 4:29Speaker 2: are going to be heard because they're going to apply
- 4:31Speaker 2: for asylum, they're going to apply for another type of visa.
- 4:35Speaker 2: And I'm simply saying, if you're going to go through
- 4:38Speaker 2: that process, keep the work authorization in place so that
- 4:42Speaker 2: it doesn't create a catastrophe in our healthcare system. That's
- 4:47Speaker 2: been my argument to the administration for well over a year.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Sounds fair to me. I don't know what people are
- 4:53Speaker 3: upset about. Nicole made the same case she was on
- 4:56Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. So I don't want to
- 4:58Speaker 3: spend too much time on this because I want to
- 4:59Speaker 3: get to people cheating it.
- 5:01Speaker 2: But you're right, people like, here's the thing with people
- 5:03Speaker 2: like Megan at this point. And it's actually kind of
- 5:05Speaker 2: saying because Meghan is an intelligent person. But the fact
- 5:09Speaker 2: is this is all clickbait. Let's get everybody into a rage.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Let's give them half the story. Let's use words like
- 5:17Speaker 2: amnesty and just piss everybody off. As I've said before,
- 5:21Speaker 2: I am one thousand percent in support of securing the border.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Nobody should be crossing into our country illegally anymore, period.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It never should have happened to begin with, but it did,
- 5:32Speaker 2: and the President ran on this, he won on it.
- 5:34Speaker 2: He is right. Secure the border. We are doing that.
- 5:38Speaker 2: The President ran on deporting criminal aliens. We are doing that.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I support it one thousand percent. I don't care if
- 5:44Speaker 2: it's shoplifting. I don't care if it is, you know,
- 5:48Speaker 2: an assault, whatever the case, if you commit a crime, goodbye, period,
- 5:53Speaker 2: full stop, end of story. There's no there's no safe
- 5:57Speaker 2: harbor for criminals anymore, and that should be I want
- 6:00Speaker 2: to end sanctuary cities. I have railed against it. I
- 6:03Speaker 2: have railed against one of my opponents who tried to
- 6:05Speaker 2: make Rockland County a sanctuary. So we are in agreement
- 6:09Speaker 2: on the vast majority of issues. But the fact is
- 6:12Speaker 2: there are complications within this system that has been broken
- 6:16Speaker 2: for forty years. And I love the people who just
- 6:19Speaker 2: say just the port them all, the port them all.
- 6:22Speaker 2: That's not reasonable, it's not feasible, it's not honest, and
- 6:26Speaker 2: it's not possible. The President did the largest deportation force
- 6:31Speaker 2: in American history, and how many do we deport? Six
- 6:33Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five thousand people, one point nine million
- 6:36Speaker 2: people self deported. There are twenty five million people who
- 6:40Speaker 2: are undocumented. Let's be honest and real about the situation
- 6:43Speaker 2: instead of lying to everybody, getting them into a pizzy
- 6:47Speaker 2: and not actually explaining what the situation is more trying
- 6:51Speaker 2: to work through it honestly and sincerely. I am in
- 6:56Speaker 2: full agreement on getting rid of everybody broken the law.
- 7:00Speaker 3: I'll carry it. We got you. I'm on your side
- 7:02Speaker 3: on this. Just so you know, I'm not Megan Kelly.
- 7:04Speaker 3: I don't even like her. I want to do one
- 7:06Speaker 3: more thing, play one more thing for you here, then
- 7:08Speaker 3: we'll get to the cheaters in your race. Got about
- 7:10Speaker 3: eight minutes to go. This is your fellow congressman. In fact,
- 7:14Speaker 3: we had dinner together, all of us, right after the
- 7:17Speaker 3: President invited me up on stage night three of Hanukkah.
- 7:20Speaker 3: We went to the Capitol grill together and talking about
- 7:23Speaker 3: getting people lotty he hear and citizenship. Here is our
- 7:27Speaker 3: mutual friend, Congressman Randy Fine. This has cut six Lewis.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I want your opinion, mich Lawler on what he had
- 7:34Speaker 3: to say yesterday. I'm Congressman Randy Fine. It is disgusting that.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Someone can sneak into this country, have a baby, and
- 7:42Speaker 4: then they become a paper work American. We just learned
- 7:46Speaker 4: that ten percent of babies born in America shouldn't even
- 7:50Speaker 4: be here. That's why I'm calling on the Supreme Court
- 7:53Speaker 4: to ban birthright citizens. If your parents are illegal, you
- 7:57Speaker 4: should be two.
- 7:59Speaker 3: And if they don't.
- 7:59Speaker 4: Solve this problem, I'll be filing a constitutional amendment to
- 8:03Speaker 4: ban birthright citizenship. Being American is more than a piece
- 8:07Speaker 4: of paper, and we need to stop this paper work
- 8:09Speaker 4: American crisis that's before us.
- 8:12Speaker 3: I agree with Randy Fine. How does Mike Loler feel all?
- 8:16Speaker 2: Obviously, birthright citizenship emanated as a result of slavery and
- 8:23Speaker 2: the Civil War and recognizing obviously some of the challenges
- 8:29Speaker 2: that resulted from people not being treated as whole persons
- 8:34Speaker 2: and citizens. And so when you look at how this
- 8:38Speaker 2: has evolved and abused by people coming into the country
- 8:44Speaker 2: illegally and having a baby and immediately that child becoming
- 8:50Speaker 2: a citizen just.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Having a baby. There's one example that Gordon Chen gave
- 8:54Speaker 3: me last week of a Chinese couple in Brooklyn who
- 8:56Speaker 3: had twenty four kids.
- 8:58Speaker 2: No question, Look, there's a reason people come to this
- 9:01Speaker 2: country to do that. My view is there is there
- 9:05Speaker 2: is a happy medium, if you will. If somebody is
- 9:09Speaker 2: here lawfully and legally uh and has a child, that
- 9:14Speaker 2: child should be granted citizenship. If somebody is here illegally
- 9:20Speaker 2: and basically for the purpose of doing that, they should not.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Well that's what bind said by said. Briying said illegally,
- 9:26Speaker 3: he said illegally.
- 9:28Speaker 2: So, but if somebody is here lawfully, if if if
- 9:31Speaker 2: somebody is here on a green cart, if somebody is
- 9:33Speaker 2: here on a legal status, uh and they have a child,
- 9:38Speaker 2: I have no problem with that. If somebody is here illegally,
- 9:41Speaker 2: uh you know, I do think that needs to be addressed.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Now what the Supreme Court will decide, I don't know,
- 9:48Speaker 2: because the the language in the constitution uh you know
- 9:53Speaker 2: is specific to persons here. It doesn't distinguish between So
- 9:59Speaker 2: how they will ACTU rule, I'm not sure. And if
- 10:01Speaker 2: they rule against, I would certainly be open to an
- 10:06Speaker 2: amendment that would clarify what it should be. Again to me,
- 10:11Speaker 2: this is this is simple, follow the rule of law.
- 10:13Speaker 2: You shouldn't be rewarded for bad behavior. It's why on
- 10:16Speaker 2: the Dignity Act, I don't support a pathway to citizenship.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I fundamentally believe legal status is one thing to you know,
- 10:26Speaker 2: get somebody out of the shadows, have them work, pay taxes,
- 10:29Speaker 2: pay a backfline. But if you're you know, if you're
- 10:32Speaker 2: committing a crime, as I said, deported. But the fact is,
- 10:36Speaker 2: if you're, if you broke the law in comings here,
- 10:40Speaker 2: you should not be rewarded with citizenship.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Bottom line, Let's get to your race. I got about
- 10:46Speaker 3: three minutes ago Mike Lawler, the King of Brockland County,
- 10:50Speaker 3: and he going to win again because he's great. This
- 10:52Speaker 3: is an unbelievable story. So this lady, I guess who's
- 10:56Speaker 3: running against you? ePIE Phillips Staley, that's her name. She
- 11:00Speaker 3: has admitted, according to what I've read, she's admitted to widespread fraud.
- 11:06Speaker 3: She's admitted to it. Yet yet she has people on
- 11:09Speaker 3: her side of the aisle. Maybe it's people like Kate Conley.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Maybe it's people like Beth Davidson, these Democrats that are
- 11:16Speaker 3: still defending her. She's still in the race. Wait a second,
- 11:20Speaker 3: she admitted to widespread fraud. She's cheating. She is cheating
- 11:25Speaker 3: in her upcoming race against you, and her teammates on
- 11:29Speaker 3: the left are saying, ah, it's okay, go get them.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Is that what's going on here?
- 11:37Speaker 2: I've been in politics and government for quite a while.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I have never in my life seen a candidate file
- 11:45Speaker 2: a motion in court to admit, to admit that there
- 11:51Speaker 2: is widespread fraud in their petitions. And yesterday in court
- 11:57Speaker 2: they stipulated before the judge, they stipulated that hundreds of
- 12:03Speaker 2: signatures were fraudulently obtained. We have witnesses going on the
- 12:08Speaker 2: stand yesterday and again on Friday tomorrow, and we are
- 12:14Speaker 2: questioning them as to how this fraud was perpetrated. She's
- 12:18Speaker 2: out there saying, oh, no, nothing is easier, everything's fine.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Mike Ball is just attacking me because he doesn't want
- 12:24Speaker 2: to face me. I'd love to face her. I think
- 12:26Speaker 2: it's I think it's absolutely insane. I mean, she's this
- 12:29Speaker 2: is somebody who embraced hasan Piker, she went on his podcast.
- 12:33Speaker 2: She's a total left wing nut. But the fact is
- 12:37Speaker 2: she is perpetrating a fraud, and the people who constantly
- 12:41Speaker 2: lecture everybody about protecting democracy and election integrity suddenly have
- 12:47Speaker 2: no interest in either. And my point is, if you
- 12:51Speaker 2: are going to perpetrate a fraud to the tune of
- 12:55Speaker 2: hundreds of signatures, I mean we're not talking like, oh,
- 12:59Speaker 2: somebody signed and they were a registered Republican and didn't realize.
- 13:03Speaker 2: We're not talking about ooh they put the wrong address down.
- 13:07Speaker 2: We're talking about systemic fraud, just making up signatures, and
- 13:14Speaker 2: we caught them red handed and she admitted it. I mean,
- 13:18Speaker 2: this is this is unheard of for a candidate to adminst.
- 13:21Speaker 3: So how is she how is she not automatically disqualified?
- 13:25Speaker 2: Look, we are pushing, we are pushing for the judge
- 13:28Speaker 2: to rule that the fraud has permeated the entirety of
- 13:33Speaker 2: the petition and that she'd be removed from the Democratic primary.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Now, of course, she.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Is also on the Working Families party line. She is
- 13:40Speaker 2: the Working Families Party candidate.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Uh.
- 13:43Speaker 2: And then you have Kate Conley and Beth Davidson running
- 13:46Speaker 2: against her in the Democratic primary. They, you know, are
- 13:49Speaker 2: the top two competitors. Fie, I would say, is in
- 13:53Speaker 2: a distant third. But of course they would like to
- 13:57Speaker 2: get Fie. You know, if if they win the primary,
- 13:59Speaker 2: they would like to get her off the Working Famili's
- 14:01Speaker 2: party line so that they could go on it. And
- 14:05Speaker 2: under New York state law, you can do that if
- 14:07Speaker 2: you lose a major party primary. I can't do that
- 14:12Speaker 2: if you're not in a major party primary. And so,
- 14:16Speaker 2: you know, ultimately we'll see what happens here between all
- 14:19Speaker 2: of the candidates. But Kate Conley, this is a woman
- 14:23Speaker 2: who you know, prides herself in that she oversaw the
- 14:26Speaker 2: twenty twenty four elections in America. While she was working
- 14:30Speaker 2: in the Biden administration at SISSA Cybersecurity, and she oversaw
- 14:36Speaker 2: the election department. Now, if you oversaw the election department
- 14:40Speaker 2: and one of your opponents submits fraudulent signatures and admits
- 14:46Speaker 2: in court, one would think you would have enough courage
- 14:50Speaker 2: to say, yeah, that's a problem, you should get out.
- 14:53Speaker 2: But no, nope, we're silent. We're silent because God forbid
- 14:57Speaker 2: we ever call out democrats when break the law.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Wow, well I'm gonna call him out because I do
- 15:03Speaker 3: that on this show all the time, Like I'll call
- 15:05Speaker 3: out Guy Mitchell's name all day long. He's the judge
- 15:08Speaker 3: that gave Eric Duran three to nine years. So these
- 15:11Speaker 3: are the three ladies up in Rockland County. One of
- 15:15Speaker 3: them will eventually take Eric.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Eric is a constituent of mine. YEP, Eric should be released.
- 15:21Speaker 2: This was an unjust decision. It was an unjust sentence
- 15:26Speaker 2: and conviction. And if Kathy Hokel had any spine whatsoever,
- 15:32Speaker 2: she would do the right thing and pardon him immediately.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Well she doesn't, so she doesn't. And Bruce Blakeman's gonna
- 15:38Speaker 3: win that. He's going to do it. He's made that
- 15:39Speaker 3: promise already. But these are the three ladies that are
- 15:42Speaker 3: buying to take on Mike Lawler come November. ePIE Phillips Staley,
- 15:46Speaker 3: she's a cheater. I'm gonna say it right now. ePIE
- 15:49Speaker 3: Phillips Staley, she's a cheater. Kate Conley and Bethe Davidson,
- 15:54Speaker 3: who's also a psycho. These are the three ladies effitting
- 15:58Speaker 3: to take on Mike Lawler in November. So it sounds
- 16:01Speaker 3: to me, Mike on the way out like another easy
- 16:03Speaker 3: win for Lawler in Rockland County.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna work hard. We got about six months
- 16:09Speaker 2: to go and certainly need everybody's support. So go to
- 16:13Speaker 2: Lawler for Congress dot Com. It's going to be about
- 16:15Speaker 2: a sixty million dollar race when all of a sudden done.
- 16:18Speaker 2: That's how control of Congress is going to come down.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Only a handful of districts minds one of them, and
- 16:26Speaker 2: everybody who wants to keep a Republican majority needs to
- 16:30Speaker 2: get on board.
- 16:31Speaker 3: What is his big party you having with my friend
- 16:34Speaker 3: who's actually on the last Yankee World Series team. I'm
- 16:37Speaker 3: a big Yankee fan. Now, my team that won it
- 16:39Speaker 3: back in two thousand and nine. Mark to she that's
- 16:43Speaker 3: my team. I love my yikes, Mark to Cheraw, isn't
- 16:46Speaker 3: he in town this week or something? He's going to.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Be a headlining event for me next Thursday up in
- 16:52Speaker 2: Rockland County, So reach out if you want to join us.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Mark Tischery will be there. It'll be a great event.
- 16:58Speaker 2: As you know, he's running for cong Risk down in Texas.
- 17:01Speaker 2: He won his primary overwhelmingly and so he'll be a
- 17:04Speaker 2: member of Congress next year, which is great news for
- 17:07Speaker 2: the Republicans because our baseball team is going to be
- 17:12Speaker 2: winning year after year after year.
- 17:14Speaker 3: I love that you had to share it down in Texas.
- 17:17Speaker 3: And then you've got the former NFL kicker who kicked
- 17:20Speaker 3: for both local teams here, the Jackson Giants Peely, That's right,
- 17:22Speaker 3: Jay Biely in Arizona. So we've got a bunch of hotshot,
- 17:26Speaker 3: good looking top athletes money for Congress.
- 17:28Speaker 2: But yeah, the Democrats and the Democrats of people like
- 17:31Speaker 2: Eric Swalwell.
- 17:32Speaker 3: So you know, Dad, he's in trouble for something else. Now,
- 17:36Speaker 3: I guess he used a house to start up as
- 17:39Speaker 3: AI company or something. Did you see that? Oh?
- 17:42Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy is as corrupting, crooked as it gets.
- 17:47Speaker 2: And I mean, let's say he was using campaign funds
- 17:51Speaker 2: to go to Reuben Diego's wedding. That guys really got
- 17:55Speaker 2: problems and questions that need to be answered.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Yep.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Their other friend, Jimmy Go as he's being accused lots
- 18:02Speaker 2: of things flying. And we've had we've had three resignations
- 18:07Speaker 2: and one death in one week. So for four members
- 18:10Speaker 2: down in the House of Representatives in just one week.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Wow. Don't forget. Ruben is a guy that beat our
- 18:16Speaker 3: friend Carrie Lake in Arizona two years ago. Hey, Loller,
- 18:20Speaker 3: great job. As always. We love you. I think you're
- 18:22Speaker 3: as good as it gets in Congress. I really mean that. Well,
