Tom Homan | Border Czar Touts 'Operation Rotten Apple' in New York · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Not to patronize this man sitting in front of me or.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: To embarrass him.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I send him heart emojis on his cell phone just
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: so you know.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I really do love him.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And I think he's the most important man outside of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: President Trump.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: And I love Marco Rubio, too. Don't get me wrong.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: In government today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The work that he does as the border czar, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: he's not political, okay, we get all that. This guy
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: wants to protect Republicans and Democrats. He's not interested in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: protecting just one side of the street.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: He wants to protect everybody.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And he's doing a tremendous job of doing it despite
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the morons who run this city and run this state.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He's just an amazing man. Made me cry many, many
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: times before he retook this position when Trump won again
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in 2024, the great Tom Holman.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Mr. Bordasar, good morning. Welcome to New York City.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Look, I like Glenn Frey, too, but a
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: little Merle Haggard, a little Waylon Jennings wouldn't hurt.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You like that better.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We like that, too. We play a lot of country.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Old school.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Old school. Were you an Imus fan, Don Imus?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: No, okay, because he played all that stuff all the time,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but he actually walked around New York City wearing a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: cowboy hat.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Had a gun, the cowboy hat, the whole thing. So
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: here you are today, perfect timing.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen was here yesterday, and he spoke about this.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I love this. Operation Rotten Apple.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Where you guys rounded up over 2,000 really hardened criminals.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, pedophiles, sex offenders, murderers.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And yet, Tom Holman, yet, the leaders in this city
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and this state, specifically Mamdani and Hochul, are not happy.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: What am I missing?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: They shouldn't be happy because we don't agree with their
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: sanctuary city policies. They've both been warned that if you
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: don't allow your law enforcement to work with ICE and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: they release criminals out of Rikers Island, release criminals out
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: of state prison, release criminals out of county jails, like
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the legislation Oakwood just signed, we're going to send more
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: agents to the neighborhood. I told her we had to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: swarm New York with more agents. That's what we did
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: in And I told her, you know, if we can't
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: arrest a bad guy in the safety and security of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a jail, which is safer for the community, safer for
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the officer, safer for the alien, we'll go in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: neighborhoods and find him. And when we find him, we
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: find others. So a lot of collateral arrests in this
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: operation because we were forcing. So, you know, she got
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: exactly what I told her would happen. And it wasn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: a threat. She put us in this position. The last
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: thing we're going to do is not do our job.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: So we're going to continue doing the job. And even
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: though this Operation Rotten Apple will end up with just
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: shy 2,200 aliens, we're not done. We're going to be
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: out there in May. We're going to be out there tomorrow.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: We're going to be out there every day all throughout
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: New York State.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I think you're doing an amazing job as a person
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that lives in this city. Thank you very much. Thank
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you very much. You know, she's making my friend's job
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: much tougher, and that is Bruce Blakeman. We know he's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: running for governor against Kathy Hochul. But right now, Tom,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: he is the Nassau County executive. He won that for
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the second consecutive time. You know how big Nassau County is?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's huge. That place is the safest county in America.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Because Bruce and his police commissioner, Pat Ryder, they cooperate
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with ICE. Now she says you can't do it anymore.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So this moron, this governor, she actually is telling Bruce Blankman,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: do me a favor, make Nassau County less safe. Right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You know, Nassau County is one of our biggest partners. And,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you know, in the whole, you know, her lips are moving,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: she's laying. She gets on TV and says, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: this law is important for local law enforcement to enforce
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: local laws and keep their local communities safer. This new
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: law makes the community safer. Well, I know 15 sheriffs
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: that disagree with her and that are sooner. Who knows
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: more about the safety and security of their counties than
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a career law enforcement officer that's been there for decades? So, again,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and when she did the announcement, she had a couple,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: you know, police chiefs behind her. Well, that's not if
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the police chiefs work for her. you know, socialist mayors
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: or open borders type people. They can't speak up. Sheriffs
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: who are elected by people speak up. Fifteen sheriffs agree
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: with me that the signing of this legislation makes communities
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: less safe and puts our officers at greater danger.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Who is, in your opinion, just your opinion, more difficult
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to work with or more difficult to actually stomach every day?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: The governor, Hochul, or the mayor, Mamdani?
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You can't force me to that. They're both terrible. I mean,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I don't, you know.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It's like asking you, Tom, would you rather have herpes
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: or AIDS?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Neither.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: But let's remember Mondami. Like or love Eric Adams, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to get too political, but Eric Adams
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: had an agreement with me to get us back into
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Rikers Island because, you know, he was a cop. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: he said, he understood what I said. Look, If we
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: can arrest a bad guy in the safety and security
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of a jail, it's going to be safer than releasing
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: a public safety card back in the community. And more
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: agents in the jails means less agents in the neighborhood.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: He got it. But, of course, the city council overruled
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: him and they don't agree with what happened. But, you know, Mondami's,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you know, look, I love New York City. I grew
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: up in New York. I went to college in New York.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I was a cop in New York. And I'm going
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: to retire in New York. I'm going to die in
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: New York. New York's always going to be very important
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to me. So if they think I'm going anywhere, they're crazy.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I'll fight for New York to the day I die.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The one thing they keep doing to Tom Holman is lie.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You know, you just said if Kathy Hochul's mouth is moving,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: she's lying. And almost every time I hear.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Her speak, she goes back to this They're taking our
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: kids out of kindergartens. They're dragging them out. They're dragging
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: our people out of churches. They're going into homes and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: taking out kids. I got to tell you, I pay
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: pretty close attention. I haven't seen.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: No, that's another lie. And I challenge them. Give me
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: one example. We arrested anybody in a hospital, a church,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: an elementary school. It just doesn't happen. And when she's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: talking about children, she just lied to New York taxpayers.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: A couple weeks ago, she was going to give millions
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: of dollars of taxpayer money to give legal support for
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: unaccompanied alien children because she said this administration took the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: legal protection away.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Mamdani said the same thing, too.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: We did not.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I know you didn't.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: We just switched contracts. You know, the government does it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Contracts extend. Contracts end. Contracts renew. We want a different contract.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: And actually, the coverage, what I'm understanding from Health and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Human Services, the resident one... unaccompanied alien child that has
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: been represented in court under this new contract is 100% coverage. So, again,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: another lie. Instead of doing the research, oh, you know what?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Call me. Right. And get the facts before you mislead
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the New York taxpayers.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Well, when they talk about illegal children, though, and again,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this is the amazing Borders Art Tom Holman.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I love him dearly. They're lying there, too, because they
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: make it sound like, Tom, a little six-year-old girl with
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: her cute little beautiful doll.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of the people they're talking about, they're 21-year-old males.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: They're still considered, under this program, quote-unquote, children. 21-year-old males
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: who have not been vetted, who some of these people
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: have guardians. Some of these guardians have 10 to 20 people.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: They don't even know these people. So, again, they come
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: off like the kindergarten.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Lie, the church lie, the school lie. These are not
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: little kids. A lot of these are men, 20-plus years old.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: If you look at under Joe Biden, half a million children.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: were smuggling the country under Joe Biden. They lost track
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of 300,000 of them. They weren't even looking for them.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: There's President Trump, who's already found 153,000 of these children.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And a bunch of them in Minnesota, right?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Right, right. And you're right on what you just said,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: because under the Biden administration, look, my whole career, under
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration, almost 70% of all the UACs that
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: came across the border were between the ages of 15
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and 17. And we know many of them were actually
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: 18 and 19, but with no documentation, no access to
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: El Salvador, Guatemala birth certificates, they get away with it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: We know many of them are adults. Like right now,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: we found over half of the missing children. The other half,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: most of them aged out. They're 18, 19 years old
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: or 20. But President Trump's committed we're going to still
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: find them because just because you're 21, 22 doesn't mean
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you're not a victim of sex trafficking or forced labor.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: President Trump's saving lives. He's saving children that the last
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: administration abandoned and weren't even looking for.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Vance made an argument this weekend in Vegas. I was there, Tom,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for the Republican-Jewish coalition.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They love you there, too. They love you. And J.D.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Was talking to my first cousin, Norm Coleman, and he said,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in terms of anti-Semitism, and I thought he probably stretched
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it just a little. This is my opinion, because last
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I checked, Tucker Carlson was born here, anti-Semite. Candace Owens
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: was born here, anti-Semite. But I think his overall point
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: was accurate, and he said a lot of the issues
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of anti-Semitism is the immigration issue. The last president, Joe Biden,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: let all these people in from different countries that hate
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the Jews.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Do you agree with J.D.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Vance?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Well, look, under Joe Biden, we had people from 186
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: different countries coming across. Some hate Americans, some hate Jews,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: some hate Catholics. But, you know, bottom line is what
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden did to this country, And for four years,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I woke up every day bitching about it because it
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: was the biggest national security vulnerability that I've ever seen
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: in this nation. And what scared me the most, not
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: out of the 186 different countries I came across, what
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: scared me the most is over 2 million known gotaways,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: 2 million people crossed the border, and we know it
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: because we got my video drone traffic sensor traffic weren't
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: arrested weren't vetted you know and i've done this for
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: a long time you pay you there's two amounts of
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: money you pay the cartel you pay them one amount
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of money you get to the border see a green
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: uniform and their job's done it gets you to the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: river it gets you to the border you turn yourself
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: in and when you turn yourself in the border turn
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: her by and you get processed and released within 24
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: hours you get flown to the city of your choice
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: You get a free hotel room. You get free medical care.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: You get substance money. You get work authorization within a
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: few months. But if you want to get away, if
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be fingerprinted and get vetted, you
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: pay the cartels a lot more money to get you
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to New York without being vetted, without being fingerprinted. Why
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: did 2 million plus people pay more to get away?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Why did they pay more not to take advantage of
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: that giveaway program? Because they're a criminal. They're sex traffickers.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Terrorists.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Terrorists.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Coming from a terrorist-sponsored country.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: But President Trump working real close with the intelligence community, FBI,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security. We've located and removed thousands of them, but
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: there's some we just know where they're at. And I
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: wake up every day worried.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: You don't know. You don't know.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so when we get ready in literally 10 days,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: we've now hit September, to commemorate 9-11.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: And you're a New Yorker, a great New Yorker. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you were here. I was. I was not
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: far away.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I was in, that day we were in Astoria, Queens,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but My wife was working at Empire State Building. Ten
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: days away, people say to me, like Peter King and others,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Bo Dietl, this could happen again. Because we don't know
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: how many... That's my biggest fear. You think it could
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: happen again? Not on that scale, but something relatively major, yes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Well, look, we know there's sleeper cells there. And we
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: know we got two million gotaways. Two million people from where?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Where are they at now? Why did they come here?
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Why didn't they take advantage... and get a free airline ticket,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: free hotel room, three meals a day, free medical care,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: and get work authorization. Why are they in the shadows?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So like I said, I'm sure some are drug traffickers,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: some are sex traffickers, but we know we got people
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that came in from countries that hate us. Look at
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: the tens of thousands of Chinese nationals that came in
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: from Russia, and then Turkey, and Syria, and North Korea.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: It scares me. And it should scare every American that,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: and it wasn't an accident. It wasn't mismanagement. It wasn't incompetence.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: They opened the border on purpose because they thought they
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: saw some future political benefit of what they thought was
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: millions of future Democratic voters. But they didn't, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you remember what Biden also did during that time. He
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: overturned the Trump census rule, which means millions of illegal
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: aliens in sanctuary cities like New York could be counted
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: in the next census, which results what? More seats than
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: all of the Democrats. They sold this country's security out.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: for future political power, and to me, that's treason. It
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: is treason.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned how President Trump is saving us, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you're a very humble guy, Tom, but take some credit.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you're great.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But my fear is, when Trump is done in two years,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: not if a Republican, I know you don't mean this political,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: but I feel a lot better, whether it's Rubio or
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Cruz or Vance, whoever it is, that this will continue,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: what you guys are doing. If a Democrat takes over,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: You don't want to make this political, but the truth is,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: if Republicans don't stay in power, a lot of the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: amazing work you guys have done may go away.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Another thing I worry about is that we've got the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: most secure border in the history of the country.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Ever.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: That could be all undone with a stroke of a
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: pen by executive order because Congress is not doing their job.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Congress could fix it and codify everything we've done in
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: the statute. But they're not going to. I have no reason.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Why not, though? We've got the majority. Oh, I say we.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Republicans have the majority in the, well, I guess, yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: we have the majority in both.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think you've got the 60 votes.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And look, a majority of Democrats don't want to fix that. No.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: And there's a couple Republicans that don't seem to be
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: voting the right way either. And, again, I'm not going
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: to get political and say who's doing what, but I
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: have zero, zero, zero. I have zero confidence that they're
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: going to fix this. So we're up to who's the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: next president going to be and what executive order is
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: they going to sign or not sign.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Are you ever, and I mean ever, Tom Holman. I'll
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: never use the word intimidated because you're the toughest guy
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I know. Sweet guy, but a very tough guy. When
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Mamdani comes out and says, ah, it's not going to
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: happen here. When Hochul comes out and says, nah, it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: not going to happen here.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: It happened here.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: There's nothing they can say or do. There's nothing they
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: can say or do to stop you from doing the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: amazing job that you've done so far.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Nothing, right?
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Hell no.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Hell no.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: They both said that I wouldn't, you know, it's not
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: going to happen in New York.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: It's not going to happen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: It did. Right. And it will again. It'll continue to happen.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do my job. Look, I work for
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the greatest president of my lifetime. I don't care if
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you like him or not like him. I've worked for
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: six presidents. No one's done it better than President Trump.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I'm honored every day. I worked for six presidents and
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: 10 different administrations. I'm old. I've been around a long time.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: But no one's done it better than President Trump. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: wake up every day honored to work for this man
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: because promises made, promises kept. He said he'd secure the border, done.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: He said he had record numbers of arrest and removals, done.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: You know, he said he's going to rebuild the military, done.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: The guy is just, you know, every day I wake
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: up honored to work for him, and he lets me
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: do what I got to do.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked about death threats, you and I,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: during the break, and he has now been through three
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: different assassination attempts, President Trump, and not that far removed
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: from wearing a big bandage on his ear at the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: last convention. We've got one coming up next week in Dallas.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Do you worry about him? You know, Barron is in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the news now. They want to kill his kid.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Of course I do.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I worry that, you know. You think those are legitimate threats?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, a lot of them are just some purple-haired,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: nose-ringed kid living in their parents' basement. But a lot
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: of serious threats. Look, I've had serious threats. You have to.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: You have to get a.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Ton, right? Yeah, I got 24-7 protective detail with the
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: level of threats. But, you know, you want some, come
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: get some. Because I'm not going anywhere. You're not scaring
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: me away. And President Trump, he's had some serious threats.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I worry about him because there are people in the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: world that want him to not exist. And we got
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: to make sure he's protected because he's doing such great
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: work for this country.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: So great.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: You know, in 20, 30 years from now, people are
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: going to say, hell, what a great president he was.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I hope so.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I hope he really goes down as where he belongs,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: as one of the greatest, if not the greatest of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: all time. You even asked me if I had a
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: security detail because I got a big mouth.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: That shocks me.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It does. You think I need one? All kidding aside.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Because they're nuts.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: They're nuts. No, no, look.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not bad-mouthing every Democrat. I'm not saying every Democrat
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: acted treasonous. I'm saying there are those on the left
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: who have lost their damn minds. And look what happened
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: in Times Square just the night before last. There are
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: crazy people in the world. Sid Rosenberg, big name, conservative,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: speaking the truth. There are people out there that hate
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: your guts. It only takes that half of 1% that's
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: dumb enough to say, you know what? I'm going to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: do it. And I tell people the hateful, like ICE
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: right now, the threats are up, you know, like 8,000%,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: actual assaults are up like 1,500%. And I say, look,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the hateful rhetoric just emboldens those crazies, that percentage of
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: crazies on the left, because a lot of the left's crazy,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: but there's that percentage that have lost their minds. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the hateful rhetoric about ICE gives them a, gives them,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the support or the enticement, okay, I can do this.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I can do this.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: This guy's a Nazi. This guy's a racist. This guy's
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: secret police. I can do this.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Listen, don't forget, we talked about 9-11 coming up in
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: 10 days. You know what's coming up in nine days?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: The one-year anniversary, Tom Holman, of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk was a friend of mine, great American.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You guys were friends? You were close?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Yes. But you've got to remember this. I love Charlie Kirk,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and we'll see how that all works out, I think.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I think the hearing's going well. But 9-11, remember after 9-11,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: this country was united. And the two words that was
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: pushed out to American people and everybody chanted, never forget.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Seems like a lot of people in Congress forgot. It
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: seems like a lot of people in this city forgot.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Some of those terrorists were in the country illegally. They
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: weren't public safety threats. They were in the country illegally.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I just think we've got to remember what happened in 9-11.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: It's important we force immigration laws.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Bottom line.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: You just never know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Bottom line.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So on the way out, and this has been another
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: really amazing appearance.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: You're all great, Tom.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You arrested over 2,000 Operation Rotten Apple. But your opinion is,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is there.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Still a lot, a lot of illegal criminals?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: We're not going anywhere. Because we've got to remember, we
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: pulled the data since President Trump's, just this year, this
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: past year. over 13,000 detainers for criminals in jails were
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: not honored in New York. So we got more to find.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: And so we now see the end of phase one,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: but we're out there today. We'll be out there tomorrow.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: We got a lot more to find in the state
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: of New York.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I speak on behalf of all Americans. I do
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: this to you every time. We all love you. You're
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: an amazing man. You really are.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: And the work you guys are doing is just incredible,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: keeping us safe every day. So we all thank you,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman, and keep it up, man. We need you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: every day, and you're there for us every day.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: God bless the men and women of ICE who are
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: going out there every day putting themselves in harm's way.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: They're taking so much hate. And God bless the men
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: and women of the Border Patrol. They're the ones that
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: got it done. You know, President Trump, under his leadership,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: we got a lot done. We got to remember the
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: ones out there carrying a badge and gun to put
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: themselves in harm's way every day. So I pray every
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: ICE agent, every Border Patrol agent goes home safe every day.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: So congrats to them. And if you're listeners, you see
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: an ICE agent, you see a Border Patrol agent, tell
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: them thank you. Because, you know, they like hearing it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: They take so much hate in the last two years.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: They could use it. And I was a Border Patrol agent.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I was an ICE agent. I love these men and women.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: And now I have their six. of a day I die.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Hopefully that doesn't happen for a very,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: very long time. Tom Holman, the border czar, one of
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the great Americans. I mean, you've got to love this guy.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: You really do.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And he's right.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: You know, just like you walk up to any service
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: member or any cop on the street and thank them,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: thank these people too because they do receive an unusual
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: amount of hate for a tremendous job that they do.
• 20:58
