  Speaker 1: It's 8.06 here at 55KRC, the talk station. Brian Thomas
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: wishing everybody a very happy Tuesday. And welcoming back to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the 55KRC Morning Show. You'll find them at Breitbart, where
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you should go every day and check out the great
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: reporting the folks at Breitbart do. That's B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com, where you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: will read about Texas Border Associate Editor Bob Price's commentary
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: on things related to illegal immigrants, including those who were
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: shot by ICE officers the other day in Austin. Welcome, Bob.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It's great to have you on the 55KRC Morning Show.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Good morning. It's good to see you, Brian.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of wondering where we are in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: terms of evidence. It didn't take but five seconds to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: get the various socialist and communist organizations. I guess they're
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: all just sitting around waiting on standby for a call
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to action. So anytime ICE is engaged in anything even
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: remotely suggestive of untoward behavior, they all come out in
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a moment's time in great masses, giving the appearance that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody in the neighborhood is upset about ICE
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: cracking down on quite often very dangerous criminal illegal immigrants.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But we got one shot here, so there's use of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: deadly force, although the guy apparently is okay in terms
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of the man who was shot from the illegal immigrant
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: from Venezuela. So have you been able to unpackage this
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and actually get to the bottom of it? Because everybody
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: else seems to have drawn their own conclusions on it. Bob?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Well, the left is very quick to draw conclusions and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: oftentimes very bad conclusions. One of the Austin City Council
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: members said, before any facts were known, was rushing out
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: there saying that ICE had murdered this guy and shot
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: him five times in the back and all of these
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: kinds of things, which most of those facts proved to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: be untrue. The guy's not dead. He was treated and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: released at the hospital and released back to ICE custody.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But his attorney is out well, a man claiming to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: be his attorney, let me clarify that, is out claiming
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that he has a bullet in his back and is
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: apparently numb on his right side or something like that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And that he's being mistreated, not given pain medicine and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: made to sleep on the floor, et cetera, et cetera,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: et cetera. So all of these tales of abuse will
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: come out. You know, congressmen rush to the microphone to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: grab whatever little piece of attention that they can get
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: out of this. But secretly, I just published a story
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: this morning. Secretly, the Austin City Council on Thursday is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: set to vote to put $ 850, 000 of taxpayer money into
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a illegal alien deportation defense fund. They're feeding that money
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to some non-government organizations, NGOs, to provide legal defense for
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: people facing deportation. You know, it's just, this is the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: mentality of the left who would spend taxpayer dollars and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: spend their efforts and energy defending criminals who illegally entered
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the country. This one during the Biden border crisis, during
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the last administration, he was given... temporary status in the U.S.,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: but an immigration judge had ruled his asylum claim to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: be bogus and issued a final order of removal, but
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: he hadn't left the country yet.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Well, do we have any idea where the use of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: deadly force, and I know it wasn't deadly, but the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: officer did fire a round. I think there seems to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: be no dispute that the guy was actually hit, although
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: widely reported that he was treated and released. I mean,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I've read that all over the place at this point, Bob,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: but I think the only real question here is whether
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: or not the ICE officer did not have the right
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to use or it was inappropriate to use deadly force.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: We don't know anything about that yet, do we?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Well, there's one video on my first article on this
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: topic on Breitbart that captures almost the moment of the shooting.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: The person sees the vehicle that had just been stopped
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: by the ICE officer and The ICE officer is getting
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: out of the vehicle, approaching it, and then all of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a sudden, in her moving in her car, her video
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: goes off of the scene for about a second or two.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You hear three or four gunshots, and then you turn
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: back and you can see the car driving away. It
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't appear to be driving in a way that's a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: threat to the officer, but we don't know, have any
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: idea what he saw inside the vehicle. And so there's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: no information at all yet about why he actually decided
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to use deadly force.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So that's the critical piece of information. If the officer
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: used deadly force when it was not in any way, shape,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: or form appropriate, then, of course, we can all criticize
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the ICE agent for doing so. That's a training issue.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That's an inappropriate use. And fine, I would rather wait
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: for the information to come out before drawing conclusions because
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we know what happens when people draw conclusions. We have, well...
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: defund the police movements that crop up out of nowhere,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: like after the George Floyd thing. So indulge me on
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that one, Bob pivoting over. I remember. I know you do.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: My listeners do too, Bob pivoting over. I is the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: city of Austin actually creating this defense fund is perplexing
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to me because I know how blue Austin is. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it's a very liberal city for whatever reason, right there
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in the heart of Texas. But I, I guess I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: kind of curious because I know we're on polling. Let's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: go back to that caveat for my listening audience as well.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I thought getting rid of, well, let's use the category
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of child molesters, child rapists, violent criminals. I thought everybody
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: embraced that idea. It's the grandmother who's been here for
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: 10 years that is always thrown out as the illustration
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of why we shouldn't do anything. But do you believe
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the residents of Austin really truly have a problem with
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: getting rid of criminals in the neighborhood?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You would hope not, but their elected officials certainly do.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And they're taking action to defend these people. And so
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a similar thing happened in Harris County, which is Houston,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the state's largest city here in Texas. And the attorney
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: general's office, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against Harris County
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and blocked the funding of deportation defense that was being provided.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It's illegal under the Texas Constitution. And so they put
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a stop to it. And so I'm hoping now with
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this article we posted this morning that the AG's office
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: will step in once again and try to block the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: city of Austin from doing this. It had to go
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: all the way to the Texas Supreme Court to get
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: it blocked in Harris County because the lower court of
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: appeals upheld the county's right to do that. And the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: state Supreme Court said, no, you can't do that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to think maybe as liberal as the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: city of Austin residents are that I am certain, like
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: with every city, there's sort of an unlimited list of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: demands that people want from city government, given the finite
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: number of dollars that they have that they're sitting on.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They've got to make prudent choices doing cost-benefit analysis, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that it might anger the city of Austin residents that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they're spending that much money on a defense fund for
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who are subject to, well, detainment orders.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the... man who's now the congressman there in Austin,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: famously when he was a city council funded move for
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: defunding the Austin Police Department. And so the blue roots
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: are very deep in Austin. We call it the blueberry
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the red pie here in Texas.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It's one of the few liberal bastions in the state
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of Texas, which is a very conservative state. But, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: despite the fact that it's a conservative state, we have
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a hotly contested race for the U.S. Senate here with
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: James Tallarico, who also has expressed an unlimited support of
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens and illegal immigration. And he's for, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: boys and girls sports and anti. He's running for Texas,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the United States senator from Texas. He's anti-gun, anti-oil and gas,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: anti-cattle violence. just about everything that Texas stands for, he's against,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and yet he's still in a very tight race for
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the Senate.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Can you answer, I mean, just speculate as to how
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that is. All the points you made are well taken
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and very accurate. I mean, these are issues that no
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: one should get any traction on in Texas if you're
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that far on the left of center. But why is it?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Is this a symptom of Trump derangement syndrome, as so
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: many things seem to be? Is this because people are
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: just quite frankly angry about inflation, the price of gasoline,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that they'd be willing to ignore that their daughter might
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: be playing against a guy in sports?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand it. I do know that the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party is funneling millions and millions of dollars into
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the state of Texas trying to take this seat. They
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: hope this will be the pivotal race to flip the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Senate back to the blue. And they're doing everything they can.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: They're painting James Tallarico to be a moderate, voice of reason,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But his record clearly
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: shows that he is as far left as any of these,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: these communists almost used the CB word that, that, that, that,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: oh God, Patton, sorry, used back in World War II
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: about the communists. But, you know, there, he's of that
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: mentality and even his own pastor says, came out a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: week or so ago and said that this is just
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: an act on Tallarico's part and that as soon as
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he gets elected, he's going to go swing back as
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: far left as he can. And we know that's true
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: because the first thing he's going to do is come
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: under the control of whoever the Senate Democrat leader is
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: at that point in time.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's another thing that it causes me to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: point out. Apparently, The far left Democrats got the message
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that their policies are not popular. This is why they're
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: walking back on them. All the previously stated, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you and I might characterize as bat crap and saying
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: policies that you just rattled off a handful of. They're
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: now saying, no, no, no, no, no. I disagree with that.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I might have said that before, but I've come to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the realization that that was wrong. Well, you know darn
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: well they really haven't abandoned them. They just have to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: appeal to more centrist voters, even in their own party.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: by saying out loud, they reject them. You can't walk
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: away from a statement like defund the police that you've
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: made 19 times and just magically wake up and say, no, no,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I really was kidding. I mean, I, I, I, I'm
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: just hard pressed to understand how anybody could necessarily get
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: away with it. Maybe they're just playing on the ignorance
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of the voters who aren't going to pay attention to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: anything like that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Well, Brian, we're seeing the same thing in Michigan and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the Senate race up there where, where he's backing away
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: from all of his previous comments. Yeah. My wife and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I were up at Mackinac Island this summer, and about
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the time that his comments about Mackinac Island resurfaced, where
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he basically said that he hated the place and hated
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the people there. This is someplace that he's wanting to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: represent as a United States senator. It's a beautiful place,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and we had a great time there. I can't see
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: how anybody in their right mind, well, there's the caveat there,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: in their right mind could possibly.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Hate that place.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But that's the way they are. They hate American values.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: They hate the things that America stands for. And they
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: want to dissolve that, get rid of it. And we're
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: seeing it all across the country.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Well, that takes us back to the border. The reason
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are all in favor of open borders, which
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they literally are, is because going back to the communist
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: revolt that happened when this guy got shot while ICE
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was doing its job. Open borders means basically eroding the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: values that truly made America great. Work ethic. You know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: if you work hard, you will be successful, at least
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to be successful. They bring in water
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: down the population who has grown up with that philosophy
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and ideology that's worked so well, which is why we
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: are the most successful country that's ever been in existence
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: in this world. And you bring a bunch of people
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that come in with no concept of freedom, liberty. They've
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: been told what to do. They have dictators they come
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: from or communist regimes they've fled because it sucks to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: live there. I mean, seriously, Bob, does anybody not remember
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall? People did not try to get into
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: East Berlin. They tried to get out. That's why the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: wall was there. Nobody's trying to get into Cuba. There
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: are no boats going south to Cuba. They're all coming
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: from Cuba here. I mean, we could go over and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: over and over this all day long. This has to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: register with people.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Well, the communists have played the long game on this,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: dating back to the early 1960s when Nikita Khrushchev, the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: then leader of the Soviet Union, said that he would
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: conquer the United States without firing a single shot. And
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: so what they did is they spent decades infiltrating the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: entertainment industry, invading the education system, all the way through
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: from elementary schools up to the university levels. And they've
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: slowly normalized all of these things that are anti-American values
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: into and put us in the position now where people
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: just think that this is okay. I remember in a
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: protest a few years ago talking to a young person
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and I said, you know, that person's a communist. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: he goes, what's wrong with being a communist? And, you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and it's just, they don't know, they don't understand. But
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you would think these people that fled from Venezuela, the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: ones that aren't members of the Trendi Aragua criminal gang,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a terrorist organization, but you would think the ones that fled,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the ones that we were first seeing crossing the border
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: in Eagle Pass in 2022, I think it was, these
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: were very wealthy people who were coming here to flee
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the oppressive Venezuelan communist rule. They see this and they
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: speak out about it quite regularly, but others, they just forget.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And the American people forget what this is like.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Nobody is trying to get into Cuba or any of
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: these other communist countries across the world. They're all coming
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to America, as the song says.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. It seems so damn obvious, Bob.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand how this has any traction whatsoever.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Even the dumbest person in the world can step back
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: from this and see the reality of it. I guess
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: nobody's stepping back from looking for the reality. Bob Rice.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Everybody loves free stuff.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and see, that's what it is. But when
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you put pen to paper, free stuff always sounds good. But,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you know, $ 40 trillion in debt already. The price of,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: let's just pick one, Medicare for all, which is what
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: all the left is campaigning on after Obamacare obviously was
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: an epic failure, Bob. Well, let's try it again. Medicare
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: for all. The price tag on that. Look at the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Cato numbers that they crunched. Cato's pretty respected anyway in
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: terms of number crunching. I mean, over 10 years, you're
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: talking between $ 30 and $ 70 trillion for that? It just doesn't.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: The math never works out. It's like open borders. Every
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: person that comes across the border is entitled to get
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: on our welfare system, apparently. We're already struggling with our
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: social safety net anyway with the number of people we
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: have here and the inefficiencies and mismanagement from government. How
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in God's name can we entertain and welcome in every
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: other human being on Earth and think that it can
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: sustain itself? It just doesn't make sense.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I would ask your listeners to remember the number one
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: issue in the last election was the border and immigration.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: And President Trump quickly shut that down, eliminated it basically
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: as an issue, which is really why Congress has never
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: eliminated it as an issue. They'd rather have the issue
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to argue about from both sides than they would to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: solve the problem. President Trump solved the problem. And so
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: now that issue has kind of slipped away as being
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: of major importance to the voters. But they need to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: remember that if the Democrats get back in control again
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: in this election and then in the 2028 presidential election,
• 16:19
