Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What you're about to watch matters more than most of
- 0:02Speaker 1: what's floating around out there online right now. It's an
- 0:05Speaker 1: interview with Byron Donald's. There's a lot of lying out there.
- 0:08Speaker 1: There's a lot of intentional confusion about what's going on
- 0:10Speaker 1: at the border, what's going on in our country, what's
- 0:12Speaker 1: going on with the economy, what's going on in the
- 0:14Speaker 1: state of Florida. It's where Byron Donalds is from. You're
- 0:17Speaker 1: going to be hearing from him, a sitting member of Congress,
- 0:19Speaker 1: but he's also a candidate for governor for the Great
- 0:22Speaker 1: State of Florida. He doesn't speak in slogans. He speaks
- 0:25Speaker 1: in systems, incentives, and actual consequences. In this conversation, we're
- 0:29Speaker 1: going to talk about why Democrats have pushed for open
- 0:31Speaker 1: borders for decades. He gets right down to it. Not
- 0:34Speaker 1: the I wonder what they're doing. No, he tells you
- 0:36Speaker 1: why they're doing it. It's not by accident, it's not
- 0:39Speaker 1: out of compassion. It's a strategy for power and controlled
- 0:43Speaker 1: We're going to break down why sanctuary cities exist, why
- 0:45Speaker 1: ICE is constantly being attacked and being lied about, and
- 0:48Speaker 1: what we can do about changing the narrative and making
- 0:51Speaker 1: people understand exactly what's really going on. We also get
- 0:55Speaker 1: into the uncomfortable truths that are out there, truths that
- 0:57Speaker 1: you have to know. A missing children, how many where
- 1:00Speaker 1: three hundred thousand failed vetting, visa overstays. Why isn't that
- 1:03Speaker 1: a crime? Why is that a civil offense? It's not
- 1:06Speaker 1: a sound by the interview. It's an interview with a
- 1:08Speaker 1: serious guy. It's a serious conversation about voter's freedom and
- 1:11Speaker 1: whether America remains a nation governed by law or by chaos.
- 1:16Speaker 1: It's Byron Donald's watch closely. What he says and what
- 1:19Speaker 1: he lays out is going to explain exactly why things
- 1:21Speaker 1: feel so broken and what you need to really know.
- 1:24Speaker 1: If I have my way, this man is going to
- 1:26Speaker 1: be the next governor of the Great State of Florida.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It's a state where I grew up, but my mother
- 1:30Speaker 1: is stole there, my sisters are stole there. Love the
- 1:32Speaker 1: state a lot. We go as offend as we can.
- 1:33Speaker 1: It's Byron Donald's US Representative District nineteen, the Great State
- 1:37Speaker 1: of Florida, also goob natorial candidate Byron How are you
- 1:39Speaker 1: good to see it?
- 1:40Speaker 2: Doing good? Going to be back with you, Joe.
- 1:42Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure. I want to get into some
- 1:44Speaker 1: stuff that's happening in the news right now, and then
- 1:45Speaker 1: I do want a full throw to talk about your
- 1:47Speaker 1: run for governor. But there's a lot going on. I
- 1:50Speaker 1: just made the mistake on x howne of you follow
- 1:52Speaker 1: me on X but I just said this on there.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I made the mistake of having for you clicked instead
- 1:57Speaker 1: of following. And you've got people at urob elbow with
- 2:00Speaker 1: every day in the House of Representatives that are just
- 2:02Speaker 1: lying about what Trump is doing about immigration, lying about
- 2:06Speaker 1: what Ice is doing out there in the streets, lying
- 2:08Speaker 1: about about everything Trump says, everything you say, everything that
- 2:11Speaker 1: I say, and man, they just get away with it,
- 2:13Speaker 1: almost with impunity. Are there people in that body, I
- 2:17Speaker 1: won't say any names other than maybe Japel and I
- 2:19Speaker 1: won't say maybe Omar. Are there other people that you
- 2:23Speaker 1: can tell me that aren't there representing anybody but their
- 2:25Speaker 1: own interest? Because I don't think these representative districts are
- 2:28Speaker 1: getting any love, any help, any any representation from these people.
- 2:32Speaker 2: What is going on, frankly, what's going on is that
- 2:36Speaker 2: the Democrats, for more than thirty years in America have
- 2:39Speaker 2: wanted wide open borders, no accountability, and no ability to
- 2:43Speaker 2: actually have an immigration law and process that prioritizes the
- 2:47Speaker 2: American people or Americans. I mean, they've never wanted that.
- 2:52Speaker 2: What they wanted were the last four years under Joe Biden.
- 2:55Speaker 2: They wanted a wide open border, no checks, no ability
- 2:58Speaker 2: for anybody to say no. This is why they support
- 3:00Speaker 2: sanctuary jurisdictions in Washington State or again California, Illinois, New
- 3:06Speaker 2: York because they have the deranged belief that wide open
- 3:10Speaker 2: borders and no rules around immigration whatsoever actually make the
- 3:15Speaker 2: country better. And that's just a flat out lie. All
- 3:18Speaker 2: we have to do is look at Europe. Europe is
- 3:21Speaker 2: ten years ahead of where the United States is, and
- 3:24Speaker 2: we see the major immigration problems they have. And the
- 3:27Speaker 2: biggest issue of all pass all the illegal immigration, is
- 3:31Speaker 2: that you don't have assimilation of people coming from other
- 3:34Speaker 2: countries to become a fabric of your own. So this
- 3:38Speaker 2: is why they lie about what ICE is doing. This
- 3:41Speaker 2: is why you have these Democrats who decide that they're
- 3:43Speaker 2: all going to be tough guys and go stand up
- 3:46Speaker 2: to ICE officers who are doing the job that they
- 3:50Speaker 2: have been hired to do by the commander in chief.
- 3:54Speaker 2: The President of the United States Donald J. Trump. So
- 3:57Speaker 2: that's why they lie, That's why they blame shift, that's
- 4:00Speaker 2: why they're always trying to find some cause celeb to
- 4:02Speaker 2: rally around. Because what they want is in America with
- 4:05Speaker 2: wide open borders, no immigration checks whatsoever. They want people
- 4:09Speaker 2: from foreign nations to come to America. And in a
- 4:13Speaker 2: lot of respects, the Democrats do want to change the
- 4:15Speaker 2: political fabric of our nation. And they know that Americans
- 4:19Speaker 2: who come here legally excuse immigrants who come through the
- 4:23Speaker 2: legal channels. Americans here in the United States, we reject
- 4:27Speaker 2: their policies time and time again. So they try to
- 4:29Speaker 2: find new voters, and that's why they believe in wide
- 4:32Speaker 2: open immigration.
- 4:33Speaker 1: It's Byron Donald Jewish Representative District nineteen, Great State of
- 4:35Speaker 1: Florida running for governor, go and support as candidacy Byron
- 4:38Speaker 1: Donalds dot com Byron Donalds dot com. All right, and
- 4:41Speaker 1: they're understood it because they're flooding the zone into the
- 4:43Speaker 1: greatest nation on the planet. People are coming here because
- 4:46Speaker 1: of all that we have and all that we offer.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Yet when they come here, they try to change what
- 4:51Speaker 1: it is that we stand for, our value system, the
- 4:53Speaker 1: fact that we're Western civilization. You're bringing people in from
- 4:55Speaker 1: third world countries who allegedly are looking for a better life,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and then they try to make this country like the
- 5:01Speaker 1: country they came from. So you said that they think
- 5:05Speaker 1: it makes America a better place to have all these
- 5:07Speaker 1: people come in. Illgally, I got to take it to
- 5:09Speaker 1: the next level. Isn't this really about power and control?
- 5:11Speaker 1: If they've got a bunch of people here that are
- 5:13Speaker 1: on the dole, that are only relying on government, doesn't
- 5:16Speaker 1: that give the people that I mentioned and others on
- 5:18Speaker 1: the left this idea that they're somehow monarchs or leaders
- 5:22Speaker 1: or filled with the power. That we all need our
- 5:24Speaker 1: meal from them, we need our electricity from them, are
- 5:26Speaker 1: housing our transportation from them. It seems to be a
- 5:29Speaker 1: power play to me.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Do you agree? Oh, one hundred percent, it's a power play. Listen,
- 5:33Speaker 2: the Democrats what they care about more than anything, Power
- 5:37Speaker 2: and control. That's what they care about. Look at the
- 5:39Speaker 2: policies that they support. I mean, everybody's talking about healthcare
- 5:43Speaker 2: right now, right well, the healthcare problems in the United States.
- 5:46Speaker 2: The fact that insurance premiums and deductibles have gone through
- 5:50Speaker 2: the roof is the fault of the Democrat Party. They
- 5:53Speaker 2: created this monstrosity. They voted for it. Republicans at the time,
- 5:58Speaker 2: and every year since have I've told the American people
- 6:01Speaker 2: time and time again, this is not going to work.
- 6:03Speaker 2: It's gonna make it unaffordable. It's gonna drive us to
- 6:06Speaker 2: single payer healthcare. That's what the Democrats want, and what
- 6:10Speaker 2: happens in a single payer healthcare system. You can only
- 6:13Speaker 2: see your doctor when the government allows you to. You
- 6:16Speaker 2: can only get a service when the government allows you to.
- 6:19Speaker 2: That does not sound like a system based upon freedom
- 6:23Speaker 2: and economics which supports people directly. That sounds like a
- 6:28Speaker 2: command and control industry, a command and control society. You
- 6:32Speaker 2: take a look at what it did under the Biden
- 6:34Speaker 2: administration COVID nineteen. They didn't have an honest debate about
- 6:38Speaker 2: the COVID vaccine. They didn't have honest debates about what
- 6:41Speaker 2: we're gonna be the procedures to help people avoid contracting
- 6:45Speaker 2: COVID nineteen. No, they did the exact opposites. Lockdowns, suppression,
- 6:50Speaker 2: suppression of free speech, blackballing doctors who were trying to
- 6:54Speaker 2: put the truth out there, shadow banning people. That is
- 6:58Speaker 2: themo of the Democrat Party. So it doesn't really matter
- 7:01Speaker 2: what the issue set is. It's all about power, it's
- 7:03Speaker 2: all about control. So you're call it a monarchy, an oligarchy,
- 7:07Speaker 2: whatever you want. It's about them having political power and
- 7:11Speaker 2: they will do anything to achieve that goal.
- 7:13Speaker 1: BYRONDONALDS dot Com US representative Byron Donald's running for governor
- 7:16Speaker 1: the Great State of Florida. What do you do about
- 7:18Speaker 1: states like Minnesota where the governor says we're not helping.
- 7:21Speaker 1: In fact, we're gonna hinder your ability to go and
- 7:23Speaker 1: get people that are here breaking the law. Or the mayor,
- 7:26Speaker 1: Mayor Jacob Fry of Minneapolis saying these are bad people
- 7:30Speaker 1: in call nine one one, the police chief saying call
- 7:32Speaker 1: nine one one, these are master men that are kidnapping
- 7:34Speaker 1: our citizens. And then I mean, even to that end,
- 7:37Speaker 1: go to Illinois where JB. Pritzker is refusing four thousand
- 7:41Speaker 1: detainer requests by Christy Noman the DHS. Isn't there something
- 7:45Speaker 1: that says that's aiding in the betting or harboring. Can't
- 7:47Speaker 1: we do something about them getting in the way of
- 7:50Speaker 1: just enforcing the law.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Well, I will leave that in the hands of the
- 7:53Speaker 2: Attorney General and the director of the FBI. But let's
- 7:57Speaker 2: be very clear, these states and jurisdictions, they do not
- 8:00Speaker 2: have the right to violate federal law. If I had
- 8:03Speaker 2: my way, I would strip them of their funding because
- 8:05Speaker 2: if you're not going to comply with federal law, then
- 8:07Speaker 2: you don't need federal dollars, period, full stop. But in
- 8:10Speaker 2: the interim, what I think is that we are going
- 8:14Speaker 2: to continue to move forward with the process of sending criminal,
- 8:18Speaker 2: illegal aliens home. That's what we're gonna do, That's what
- 8:21Speaker 2: the President ran on, that's why he won a mandate.
- 8:25Speaker 2: And so now we're not going to take the phony
- 8:27Speaker 2: outrage from the radical left. And now, mind you, this
- 8:29Speaker 2: is the radical left. We're not going to take the
- 8:31Speaker 2: phony outrage from the radical left as gospel as truth.
- 8:35Speaker 2: It's not. These are actually the complete opposites. They are
- 8:38Speaker 2: lying to their constituencies. They are lying to the American
- 8:41Speaker 2: people because the only thing they're left with is opposing
- 8:44Speaker 2: Donald Trump, because they do not have ideas and policies
- 8:48Speaker 2: that are going to work for the people.
- 8:49Speaker 1: You know, Byron, are we doing a good enough job
- 8:51Speaker 1: on our side, the right conservatism in getting the message
- 8:55Speaker 1: out Because I just talked about what I just saw
- 8:57Speaker 1: on X when I did by accident for you, and
- 9:00Speaker 1: out of context, Ice is beating up pregnant women. Now,
- 9:03Speaker 1: out of context, Ice is trying to deport us citizens.
- 9:06Speaker 1: None of those things is true, but they keep on
- 9:09Speaker 1: saying it, and they're messaging I mean, million views on
- 9:12Speaker 1: somebody who posted a short snippitt of a piece of
- 9:14Speaker 1: video with no context about a woman who, by the way,
- 9:17Speaker 1: showed up where Ice was arresting somebody and actually hit
- 9:20Speaker 1: an ICE vehicle with her vehicle. They didn't say any
- 9:23Speaker 1: of that, but I fear the messaging is not where
- 9:26Speaker 1: it needs to be on our side, are we getting
- 9:27Speaker 1: better at that?
- 9:29Speaker 2: We're getting better. I mean, look, we always have to
- 9:31Speaker 2: message just to one thing as a Republican that the
- 9:34Speaker 2: party never really has been good at it. We're just
- 9:36Speaker 2: starting to get good at it, and I think we're
- 9:39Speaker 2: going to continue to get better. But this is one
- 9:41Speaker 2: of the reasons why President Trump constantly talking to the press,
- 9:44Speaker 2: constantly set in the record straight cabinet meetings that are
- 9:47Speaker 2: actually occurring, where the press gets to ask questions. These
- 9:50Speaker 2: are the critical things that you have to do. But
- 9:52Speaker 2: we cannot take our foot off the gas. I would
- 9:55Speaker 2: say if twenty twenty five revealed anything is that. Yes,
- 9:58Speaker 2: we were able to pass the press it it's agenda.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Yes we secured the border. Yes we're starting to deport criminal,
- 10:04Speaker 2: illegal aliens. But you have to continue to tell that
- 10:07Speaker 2: story day in day out. You cannot let up.
- 10:10Speaker 1: It is representative Byron Donalds. Go to Byron Donalds dot
- 10:13Speaker 1: com support its candidacy for governor the Great State of Florida. Well,
- 10:16Speaker 1: we talk about who's here in this country. We saw
- 10:18Speaker 1: the two National Guards members. One died got shot by
- 10:21Speaker 1: somebody who's a terrorist. Allegedly he was here, certainly from
- 10:24Speaker 1: Afghanistan on this allies list that Biden came up with. Byron,
- 10:29Speaker 1: we don't know who's here. We can't vet people from
- 10:31Speaker 1: third world countries. The war lords in the mountains of
- 10:34Speaker 1: Afghanistan don't have a database that they're sharing with us.
- 10:36Speaker 1: So what do we do. We know that there are
- 10:38Speaker 1: thousands of others that are here. I know that with
- 10:40Speaker 1: the pause that there HR sixty two twenty five. You
- 10:43Speaker 1: want to stop new people coming in who might be
- 10:46Speaker 1: on that certain list or from that certain region. What
- 10:48Speaker 1: do you do about who's here? Now?
- 10:50Speaker 2: We're gonna have to go through the painstaking process of
- 10:53Speaker 2: vetting people and sending a lot of people home. It's
- 10:56Speaker 2: not going to be easy. It's easy to just let
- 10:58Speaker 2: everybody come in the country with no checks. That's what
- 11:01Speaker 2: Joe Biden was doing. That's what Kamala Harris was doing
- 11:03Speaker 2: in the Democratic left. The hard part is having to
- 11:06Speaker 2: find all those people. Look this the last administration, they
- 11:10Speaker 2: lost what ninety thousand kids, one hundred thousand kids, just
- 11:13Speaker 2: lost them, had no idea where they were.
- 11:15Speaker 1: In the I think at one point it was three
- 11:18Speaker 1: hundred thousand was the number. It was like three hundred
- 11:20Speaker 1: and twenty.
- 11:21Speaker 2: You're probably right, you ever, I don't even remember the
- 11:23Speaker 2: number committed to memories. But they've just lost these kids.
- 11:26Speaker 2: When when Joe Biden allowed unaccompanied miners to come into
- 11:29Speaker 2: the country illegally, Well, if you just lost kids, what
- 11:33Speaker 2: happens with somebody who came in on one of Joe
- 11:35Speaker 2: Biden's lists that actually wants to do harm in the
- 11:38Speaker 2: United States, like the gunman here in Washington, d C.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Or anywhere else. This is the problem. And so that's
- 11:44Speaker 2: why the Pause Act what it does. It does put
- 11:47Speaker 2: a temporary freeze on immigration. It ends h one b
- 11:50Speaker 2: visus it and then it also has a deliberate process
- 11:54Speaker 2: for us to get the immigration system under control while
- 11:57Speaker 2: also deporting criminal, illegal aliens. That's the prudent thing to do.
- 12:02Speaker 2: That's what anybody, if it's your home, or anybody if
- 12:05Speaker 2: that's your business, that's what you do. When you're at
- 12:08Speaker 2: capacity or over capacity and you're trying to get people out,
- 12:11Speaker 2: you say, hold on, nobody else can come in. Let
- 12:13Speaker 2: me get these people out first before we restart. It's
- 12:17Speaker 2: common sense stuff. Every business does it, every family does it.
- 12:21Speaker 2: The United States needs to do it as well.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Is it time to make overstaying your visa a crime?
- 12:25Speaker 1: That's civil when it comes to coming across the voter illegally,
- 12:28Speaker 1: as you know, eight USC. Thirteen twenty five means it's
- 12:32Speaker 1: a misdemeanor crime, federal crime to come across the vote.
- 12:34Speaker 1: If you're deported and come back, it's thirteen twenty six,
- 12:37Speaker 1: it's a felony. But if you overstay your visa, it's
- 12:39Speaker 1: a civil infraction. Now it's speaking tickets a civil infraction,
- 12:42Speaker 1: and I can go to jail if I don't pay
- 12:43Speaker 1: the fine. But I would like to see that called
- 12:46Speaker 1: a crime. And I think Americans on the left are
- 12:48Speaker 1: getting away with saying this is just a civil thing.
- 12:50Speaker 1: It's a nice person. Men here twelve years. If we
- 12:53Speaker 1: make that a crime, that would give it more teeth,
- 12:54Speaker 1: wouldn't it.
- 12:56Speaker 2: It would. And let's also be clear, the biggest problem
- 12:59Speaker 2: we have, of the big problems we have, we don't
- 13:01Speaker 2: even have a biometric exit system in immigration. The nine
- 13:04Speaker 2: to eleven Commission, and part of their report was is
- 13:08Speaker 2: that we needed to have a biometric entry and exit
- 13:12Speaker 2: system so you could actually track people who were on
- 13:15Speaker 2: visas to make sure that they actually left the country.
- 13:18Speaker 2: We have no idea. The Democrats have opposed a biometric
- 13:21Speaker 2: exit system every single year I filed the legislation the
- 13:25Speaker 2: last two congresses. They completely oppose it. They don't want
- 13:28Speaker 2: to do it. This is one of the reasons I
- 13:29Speaker 2: think the filibusters should be eliminated so we can get
- 13:32Speaker 2: to common sense policy that's actually going to help the
- 13:34Speaker 2: American people. So I think if you're going to go
- 13:37Speaker 2: down the line of making it a crime over saying
- 13:39Speaker 2: your visas, we have to create a tracking system so
- 13:42Speaker 2: we know when people leave Joe. We don't have that
- 13:45Speaker 2: capability today. It makes no sense at all. This is
- 13:48Speaker 2: another reason why I think we should actually go back
- 13:51Speaker 2: to a quota system in immigration as opposed to chain migration.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Because let's say, let's say you have Brazil. We give
- 13:58Speaker 2: Brazil two thousand visas a year for whatever the reason is, Well,
- 14:02Speaker 2: look if they're visa. If there's two thousand per year
- 14:06Speaker 2: and only one thousand Brazilians go back at the end
- 14:09Speaker 2: of that visa, that means we have a thousand still
- 14:11Speaker 2: in the country because we were tracking it. So under
- 14:14Speaker 2: a quota system, you could easily say, well, Brazil, guess
- 14:16Speaker 2: what next year, you only get a thousand it's supposed
- 14:19Speaker 2: to two thousand visas because only a thousand of your
- 14:22Speaker 2: foreign nationals actually went back home like they were supposed to.
- 14:26Speaker 2: These are common sense policies that need to be adopted nationally.
- 14:30Speaker 2: The Democrats want no part of it. As a matter
- 14:32Speaker 2: of fact, what the Democrats really really want they want
- 14:35Speaker 2: to still count illegal aliens and other people in the
- 14:38Speaker 2: country who are not citizens. They want to count them
- 14:40Speaker 2: for the purposes of setting congressional districts. That's what the
- 14:44Speaker 2: Democrats want to do, and so we have to stop
- 14:47Speaker 2: that kind of nonsense. American policy has to be first
- 14:50Speaker 2: and foremost focused on the American people. Let's do that first.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Then you can deal with immigration, legal immigration people coming in.
- 14:58Speaker 2: So my view is no more migration quota systems, and
- 15:01Speaker 2: immigration a biometric exit system so we can track visa
- 15:06Speaker 2: entrance coming in and also going out. And then if
- 15:09Speaker 2: these other countries, if they're not going to make sure
- 15:12Speaker 2: that their people are coming back to their country, then
- 15:15Speaker 2: we limit the amount of visas they get next year.
- 15:17Speaker 2: You do that, this whole thing could well be able
- 15:20Speaker 2: to work very seamlessly for the American people.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Well, Byron, the problem is you're filled with common sense.
- 15:24Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to the other side. They
- 15:26Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of common sense. It's Byron Donald's
- 15:29Speaker 1: go to Byron Donalds dot com support US candidacy for
- 15:31Speaker 1: Governor of the Great State of Florida in Washington, DC.
- 15:34Speaker 1: We just talked about it a minute ago. The National
- 15:36Speaker 1: Guard presence there has decimated criminals and crime. It has
- 15:40Speaker 1: done an amazing job. Now, of course, we had the
- 15:42Speaker 1: terrorist attack the other day, but I've noticed that a
- 15:44Speaker 1: lot of people are very very easy on the police
- 15:47Speaker 1: chief there. You're not, and the Oversight Committee isn't. But
- 15:49Speaker 1: a lot of people in Congress, even on our side,
- 15:52Speaker 1: are like, yeah, you know, she's cooperating. She gets it now,
- 15:54Speaker 1: she's coming around. I don't think so. And this is
- 15:56Speaker 1: somebody that we know is punishing people that were giving
- 15:59Speaker 1: their real stats on what crime was happening. She was
- 16:03Speaker 1: cooking the books, and you're not reporting from the oversight
- 16:06Speaker 1: committe that she was literally removing people because they were
- 16:09Speaker 1: telling the truth. I added that work.
- 16:12Speaker 2: H Yeah, they were definitely removing people. That's what the
- 16:15Speaker 2: police chief was doing. And it's all because they were
- 16:17Speaker 2: trying to hide the fact, which frankly everybody knew in
- 16:21Speaker 2: DC if you come here. They were hiding the fact
- 16:24Speaker 2: that Democrat policy was leading to massive amounts of crime
- 16:28Speaker 2: in the nation's capital. And so when Donald Trump deployed
- 16:31Speaker 2: the National Guard, a funny thing happened. Crime plummeted in DC.
- 16:35Speaker 2: I mean plummeted. We had the mayor in a committee
- 16:38Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, Mayor Bowser, she testified under
- 16:41Speaker 2: oath that crime was down forty percent in Washington, d C.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Forty percent from when the president deployed the National Guard.
- 16:50Speaker 2: But you have radical Democrats who do work in the
- 16:54Speaker 2: government in the city of Washington, DC, who were trying
- 16:57Speaker 2: to hide the truth from the people of d and
- 17:00Speaker 2: from the American people. And back to the first question, Joe,
- 17:03Speaker 2: this was all about power and politics. Crime was rampant
- 17:07Speaker 2: in DC, rampant all over the country. So the Democrats
- 17:10Speaker 2: were lying during the federal the presidential election talking about
- 17:15Speaker 2: how crime was actually coming down. Not true. They were
- 17:18Speaker 2: cooking the books. They were not reporting crimes, they were
- 17:21Speaker 2: not reporting it to the FBI so that the crime
- 17:24Speaker 2: statistics were accurate, so we could actually compare and contrast.
- 17:28Speaker 2: They don't want to do anything that makes sense, common
- 17:31Speaker 2: sense things like supporting police, supporting law and order. And
- 17:35Speaker 2: that's even before you get to their radical das that
- 17:37Speaker 2: don't want to prosecute crime, which is one of the
- 17:40Speaker 2: biggest issues you have when you have lawlessness, is you
- 17:43Speaker 2: have das that don't want to prosecute. And so instead
- 17:46Speaker 2: of doing the right thing, they cook the books, they lie,
- 17:49Speaker 2: they dissemble, and they try to win an election to
- 17:52Speaker 2: act like nothing ever happened. Donald Trump has proven you
- 17:55Speaker 2: put bodies on the street, support law and order, a
- 17:58Speaker 2: funny thing happens. It becomes a lot safer.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Byron Donald's go to Byron Donalds dot com.
- 18:03Speaker 1: You've got beautiful highways in Florida. I grew up driving
- 18:06Speaker 1: nine ninety five I seventy five the Turnpike, Saugress Expressway,
- 18:10Speaker 1: US one. It's always a nice drive in A one A.
- 18:13Speaker 1: But you've also got a lot of people now driving
- 18:15Speaker 1: big rigs, not only in Florida but across this country
- 18:18Speaker 1: that are getting CDLs, many of them here illegally from
- 18:20Speaker 1: places like California, the getting a CDL New York. Now,
- 18:23Speaker 1: you guys are coming down on New York, and the
- 18:25Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary the other day so that he is because
- 18:28Speaker 1: they're hitting out CDLs like their candy. Why does anybody
- 18:32Speaker 1: have a driver's license?
- 18:33Speaker 2: Byron?
- 18:33Speaker 1: If they're here illegally Number one, number two, if they
- 18:36Speaker 1: can't read remedial English and read the road signs, what
- 18:40Speaker 1: are you doing behind the wheel of any vehicle much
- 18:43Speaker 1: less than eighteen wheeler? And then we see the stark
- 18:45Speaker 1: videos of these guys who are here illegally, allegedly just
- 18:49Speaker 1: killing families by not knowing how to drive their trucks.
- 18:51Speaker 1: What can you guys, congressually do about that? And should
- 18:54Speaker 1: be you become the governor is at the governor's job
- 18:57Speaker 1: to clamp down and letting people into the state. I
- 19:00Speaker 1: have a CDL in some sort of speecious way.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Well for as I want to command. Governor DeSantis and
- 19:05Speaker 2: our agriculture or Agriculture Commissioner Wilson Simpson, they've actually taken
- 19:10Speaker 2: this the bull by the horns with this and at
- 19:13Speaker 2: way stations in Florida, they're actually checking for your ability
- 19:16Speaker 2: to read signs, and they're actually checking immigration statuses through
- 19:20Speaker 2: our two eighty seven g program that's actually helping in Florida.
- 19:24Speaker 2: The problem nationwide is, you said, New York, California, they're
- 19:28Speaker 2: giving cd a license to illegals who can't even read
- 19:32Speaker 2: They can't read the signs, they don't speak the language,
- 19:34Speaker 2: but you gave them an eighty thousand pound vehicle to
- 19:38Speaker 2: drive on our highways. That puts people at risk. And
- 19:41Speaker 2: it's not about Republicans versus Democrats. It doesn't matter what
- 19:45Speaker 2: your party is, it doesn't matter what your race is,
- 19:47Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what your gender is. If there is
- 19:49Speaker 2: an illegal alien who cannot read English, doesn't know our language,
- 19:54Speaker 2: driving an eighty thousand pound tractor trailer that brings serious
- 19:58Speaker 2: harms to Americans on New on these roadways, what we've done,
- 20:02Speaker 2: what we can do in Congress. I have a bill,
- 20:04Speaker 2: The Way Act, patterned after what we've done in Florida,
- 20:07Speaker 2: which would empower the Department of Transportation under Secretary Duffy
- 20:12Speaker 2: to withhold federal funds from jurisdictions that essentially are giving
- 20:17Speaker 2: CDLs to illegal drivers. This is again common sense stuff.
- 20:22Speaker 2: It also gives the Department of Transportation the ability to
- 20:25Speaker 2: check for English proficiency and immigration statuses on every highway
- 20:31Speaker 2: in the United States of America.
- 20:32Speaker 1: It's not representative. Byron Donald's running for governor the great
- 20:34Speaker 1: State of Florida Byrondnalds dot com go and support as
- 20:37Speaker 1: candidacy there. So, what do you do should you become
- 20:39Speaker 1: the governor Byron with Ron DeSantis, He's done a very
- 20:42Speaker 1: good job, as you said, President Trump would agree with
- 20:45Speaker 1: that since we're away from the primaries where they're going
- 20:47Speaker 1: at each other. But it's a great state run by
- 20:50Speaker 1: a very good governor. Should you come in do you
- 20:52Speaker 1: just continue that course? Do you want to make the
- 20:54Speaker 1: Byron Donalds change? If so, what is that?
- 20:58Speaker 2: No, Joe, first and foremost, we build on the successes
- 21:01Speaker 2: of Governor Desantas. He's done a great job. Best governor
- 21:04Speaker 2: in the country. You build on that success. You don't
- 21:07Speaker 2: come in and start changing things. That doesn't make any sense.
- 21:10Speaker 2: You want to keep those successes going. What I want
- 21:13Speaker 2: to do is continue to build our economy, grow our economy.
- 21:16Speaker 2: We want to make sure we have high paying jobs
- 21:18Speaker 2: in our state. We want people to be able to
- 21:20Speaker 2: chase the American dream in Florida. I'm blessed enough to
- 21:24Speaker 2: have been to live my life and have lived the
- 21:27Speaker 2: American dream in the great state of Florida, and I
- 21:29Speaker 2: want that for everybody in our state. We want to
- 21:32Speaker 2: make sure our kids are economically viable when they graduate
- 21:35Speaker 2: high school. If you're going to go into the trades
- 21:38Speaker 2: and get a skilled great, let's do that. If you're
- 21:40Speaker 2: going to go to college, great, let's do that. But
- 21:42Speaker 2: let's make sure when you graduate high school, number one,
- 21:45Speaker 2: you're mastering math, reading, and writing, and number two, you
- 21:47Speaker 2: have a definable skill that can help put food on
- 21:50Speaker 2: the table. We want to be able to continue to
- 21:52Speaker 2: push down insurance costs. The governor has done some great
- 21:54Speaker 2: work on that already. We want to follow up on
- 21:57Speaker 2: that and continue to drive down insurance costs. We have
- 22:00Speaker 2: ninety five the turnpike in seventy five. It's all great.
- 22:02Speaker 2: We have more infrastructure that we have to build. People
- 22:05Speaker 2: are choosing Florida because we have great policies. We have
- 22:08Speaker 2: the best tax frankly system in the country, and we
- 22:11Speaker 2: leave you the hell alone. We're a free state for
- 22:13Speaker 2: a reason. We're going to continue all that. I want
- 22:16Speaker 2: Florida to become the financial hub of the world. I
- 22:19Speaker 2: think that's very possible. Look at Chicago, look at New York.
- 22:22Speaker 2: They're a mess. Why would people even go there and
- 22:24Speaker 2: do business? Come to Florida. Do it here. Because of
- 22:27Speaker 2: Cape Canaveral, we're a We are at the hub of
- 22:30Speaker 2: commercial space. We should use that as really the heartbeat
- 22:35Speaker 2: of a tech boom in the state of Florida, where
- 22:38Speaker 2: you're bringing aerospace, defense tech into our state, continuing to
- 22:42Speaker 2: build out our economy. I mean, listen, we're the best
- 22:44Speaker 2: state in the country, but we're not done growing, We're
- 22:47Speaker 2: not done leading. I want to build off the success
- 22:50Speaker 2: of Governor DeSantis while also making sure Florida remains the
- 22:54Speaker 2: free state of Florida and the very best state in America.
- 22:57Speaker 1: All of my fifteen stations in Texas, you said, oh yeah,
- 23:00Speaker 1: you're the best state in the country will give you.
- 23:01Speaker 2: An extent, Joe, tell them, sorry, Texas, it's going to
- 23:05Speaker 2: be number two. Though, it's going to be number two.
- 23:08Speaker 1: But I live in Texas, right well, I have to
- 23:11Speaker 1: I have to support my Texans as well. But again,
- 23:13Speaker 1: my roots are in Florida. The one question that I
- 23:16Speaker 1: hear from Florida residence, and I'm hearing it a lot,
- 23:18Speaker 1: is that they fear the influx of people from New York.
- 23:22Speaker 1: New York City is going to lose millions Byron and
- 23:24Speaker 1: then they're all heading south. Some may be coming here,
- 23:26Speaker 1: but I think most are going to your state of Florida.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Can you handle that infrastructure wise if you get an
- 23:31Speaker 1: influx of another million people from New York City because
- 23:34Speaker 1: they don't want to handle you know, some mayor with
- 23:36Speaker 1: socialist policies.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Oh look, it's gonna be tough. But my view is
- 23:40Speaker 2: we have to plan for the future. People are going
- 23:42Speaker 2: to continue to come to Florida because we do it
- 23:45Speaker 2: right in the United States. You know, I've heard the
- 23:48Speaker 2: talk let's build a wall. Look, the truth of the
- 23:50Speaker 2: matter is you can't do that. There's this thing called
- 23:52Speaker 2: the Constitution. We're going to follow the Constitution. One hundred percent.
- 23:56Speaker 2: But what we do is plan. We figure out how
- 23:58Speaker 2: we're going to build out our road system to accommodate
- 24:01Speaker 2: more people. What are we going to do around housing?
- 24:03Speaker 2: One of the things I want to do. We actually
- 24:05Speaker 2: need to modernize governmental operations. Government needs to move at
- 24:09Speaker 2: the speed of business, not at the speed of government,
- 24:12Speaker 2: because slow government adds unnecessary costs to everybody. Right, So
- 24:17Speaker 2: we need to speed that process up. But one hundred
- 24:19Speaker 2: percent believe we can accommodate, no doubt about it. But
- 24:23Speaker 2: what that means is infrastructure, how we build homes in
- 24:26Speaker 2: our state. We're gonna have to speed up the process,
- 24:29Speaker 2: speed up the timelines. But listen, when you're the best
- 24:32Speaker 2: thing going, everybody wants to be a part of it. Yeah,
- 24:35Speaker 2: so it makes sense.
- 24:36Speaker 1: No, I agree, and you're gonna get that influx. Let
- 24:39Speaker 1: me ask you something that might be a weird question
- 24:41Speaker 1: to ask, do you want them? And what I mean
- 24:44Speaker 1: by that is there's a good likely chance they're going
- 24:47Speaker 1: to bring a very leftist policy mindset with them, although
- 24:50Speaker 1: they weren't for Mamdani because he's off, he's falling out
- 24:54Speaker 1: of the car to the left and he's a socialist
- 24:55Speaker 1: and maybe even worse than that. But a lot of
- 24:57Speaker 1: these people still are very blue in their thought processes.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Do you want them in Florida.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this. We actually had that same
- 25:05Speaker 2: thought process during COVID nineteen. You know, we had a
- 25:09Speaker 2: large influx from the Northeast during COVID nineteen. We were
- 25:12Speaker 2: very concerned are they going to bring their politics with them?
- 25:15Speaker 2: But what we found was they were so sick to
- 25:18Speaker 2: death of terrible Democrat, socialist, insane policy. They chose common sense,
- 25:25Speaker 2: they chose freedom, and when they came to Florida, they
- 25:28Speaker 2: were Republicans. They came here, they've been voting Republicans. That's
- 25:32Speaker 2: why Governor DeSantis won by such a large margin four
- 25:35Speaker 2: years ago. Donald Trump won Florida by I think it's
- 25:38Speaker 2: thirteen points in the presidential election. People who have come
- 25:41Speaker 2: to Florida, they are choosing the Florida way. They're choosing conservative,
- 25:46Speaker 2: common sense government. And I think that even if you
- 25:48Speaker 2: have people who are fleeing New York because of Mom Donnie,
- 25:52Speaker 2: they don't they're leaving for a reason because they don't
- 25:54Speaker 2: want to be around for the mess of Mom Donnie.
- 25:56Speaker 2: They're like, you know what, let me get somewhere that
- 25:58Speaker 2: actually makes sense, where my kids can thrive, somewhere where
- 26:02Speaker 2: I can thrive. And I think that, then it's the
- 26:04Speaker 2: responsibility of myself and my Republican colleagues to always remind
- 26:08Speaker 2: the people of Florida we are the best state for
- 26:11Speaker 2: a reason. Here are the common sense policies that's got
- 26:15Speaker 2: us here. Let's keep the train running. Let's keep the
- 26:18Speaker 2: train going. Don't try, don't bring, don't give it to
- 26:20Speaker 2: the Democrats, because we've already seen what they've done. That's
- 26:23Speaker 2: why you left New York. That's why you left Chicago,
- 26:26Speaker 2: That's why you left Los Angeles.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Bottom line is in Floridians, if you're watching and listening,
- 26:30Speaker 1: make sure you tell anybody who's new to town has
- 26:32Speaker 1: got to fit New York accent. We love you, We're
- 26:35Speaker 1: glad you're here. Leave your voting record back where you
- 26:37Speaker 1: messed it up because coming to South Florida, coming to Florida, period.
- 26:40Speaker 1: But I'm from South Florida. It's a different world. We
- 26:43Speaker 1: used to call it Little New York. Now you've got
- 26:46Speaker 1: all sorts of people who realized they were conservatives, including
- 26:48Speaker 1: in Miami Dade County and Broward County, certainly at Palm
- 26:51Speaker 1: Beach County, and hopefully that that wave is going to continue.
- 26:53Speaker 1: There's a reason why you guys are doing so well.
- 26:56Speaker 1: I just fear because we've got all sorts of blue
- 26:58Speaker 1: enclaves here in Texas, just that it's going to happen there.
- 27:01Speaker 1: But it does seem as though you guys are doing
- 27:03Speaker 1: it better there. Every big city in this state is
- 27:05Speaker 1: now very blue. You guys seem to be turning blue
- 27:08Speaker 1: cities red in Florida. How are you doing that? That's
- 27:10Speaker 1: very interesting to me.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Common sense, Joe, I'll tell you common sense. Everything starts
- 27:14Speaker 2: with law and order. We back our law enforcement, We
- 27:18Speaker 2: enforce the law. There will be no compromise, compromise when
- 27:21Speaker 2: it comes to that. Number two, great business environment, low taxes,
- 27:25Speaker 2: low regulation. We leave you alone, We let you live
- 27:29Speaker 2: your life. Number Three, we protect children. We make sure
- 27:33Speaker 2: they're not indoctrinated. And you know that's what we do.
- 27:36Speaker 2: It's really a common sense. A recipe is that you
- 27:40Speaker 2: don't really have to like do a bunch of like
- 27:43Speaker 2: power points and put on the whole show. You really
- 27:45Speaker 2: don't need to do that. You have to talk about
- 27:47Speaker 2: common sense policies. You have to actually deliver those policies,
- 27:51Speaker 2: which we do in the great State of Florida, and
- 27:53Speaker 2: then you watch, frankly, your society bloom and thrive. And
- 27:58Speaker 2: then what happens is other people see this and they say, well,
- 28:01Speaker 2: why can't we have that, or they talk to their
- 28:03Speaker 2: their cousin or their friend who made the move to Florida.
- 28:06Speaker 2: And what also what always happens is they say, man,
- 28:08Speaker 2: I'm glad I came to Florida. I should have came
- 28:10Speaker 2: here ten years sooner. And when you do that, and
- 28:13Speaker 2: you're consistent in that approach, then what happens is people
- 28:17Speaker 2: love your state. They want to come more.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and hopefully they'll they'll keep on enhancing and improving
- 28:22Speaker 1: your state as you've done over time. And don't bring
- 28:24Speaker 1: that that voting record with him, because you don't want
- 28:27Speaker 1: New York to become or Florida to become New York.
- 28:28Speaker 1: It's Byron Donalds.
- 28:31Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. And listen, I'm gonna tell
- 28:33Speaker 2: you if somebody comes to Florida and they think that, oh,
- 28:35Speaker 2: it should be like how it was in New York,
- 28:37Speaker 2: they're gonna be sadly mistaken because we're not going back
- 28:40Speaker 2: to that we are not Florida. Thirty years ago, Florida
- 28:43Speaker 2: was a blue state. We're never going back. We are
- 28:45Speaker 2: the free state of Florida that's going to remain. It's
- 28:48Speaker 2: gonna be great representative.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Byron Donalds. Go support as candidacy no matter where you're
- 28:51Speaker 1: watching or listening from. You don't have to be in Florida.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Go to Byron Donalds dot com. Byron Donalds dot com,
- 28:56Speaker 1: go support that candidacy. We hope that you win and
- 28:58Speaker 1: win big. My friend. Good to see you again.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Good seeing you. Thanks, Take it easy. Merry Christmas, Joe.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. We'll talk to you very soon. You saw
- 29:05Speaker 1: him make his case about what's going on at the border,
- 29:07Speaker 1: what's going on left versus right, why the left and
- 29:10Speaker 1: the legacy media are lying like they are, and his
- 29:13Speaker 1: outlook for how he would run the state of Florida
- 29:15Speaker 1: should he become the next governor. He would pretty much
- 29:18Speaker 1: do what DeSantis is doing. He'd add his own flavor, obviously,
- 29:21Speaker 1: but making massive changes doesn't make any sense when you're
- 29:24Speaker 1: doing so well. So give me your thoughts about this.
