Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining us not to talk a little bit more about
what's happening with President Trump's deportation of bad people. Brian
Kittel and geo politics expert Brian Welcome in, Thanks for
being here.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Good morning, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Yeah. So Brago Garcia pulled over driving this suv belonging
to confessed a human smuggler, illegal alien. We've got MS
thirteen tats all over them. He used to beat his
wife up, came across the border illegally, and yet for
some reason, I guess it makes common sense for the
Democrats to go, no, turn the plane, run, bring him
(00:31):
back home. What the hell's going on here?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, it doesn't really make much sense for them, does it.
I think it's a mistake it politically, before one gets
into the legals. It's a mistake for Democratics obviously to
be pinning themselves for this guy. You know, they're making
a due process argument. They're saying that we're not saying
this guy is great. You may not want to live
(00:55):
next door to him, but he should have his day
in court. The problem with that is that immigration is
a winning issue for Trump. If you're a Democrat, you
should be talking about the economy. There are real concerns
about tariffs, about economic growth, what will be the impact
of tariffs.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
On inflation and jobs?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And the Democrats might have more fertile ground there, But
to be pinning themselves on this, I think it politically
is a.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Mistake and legally it's dubious. This is a test case
I think for both sides.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
The Trump administration want to see if they can find
a way to move.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Very quickly with a large number of people.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Their argument is, we can't let tens of thousands of
people have a day in court or weeks in court.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's just not practical and people.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Aren't safe every day that we delay. And the Democrats
say no, we've got to really listen to all the
evidence in a court, which may not be practical. So yeah,
big mistake by the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Politically, yeah, they're tone definitely read the room. For God's sakes.
This is the number one issue that Donald Trump was
elected on immigration, making our country safe again, getting criminals
out of the country first. Tom Holman says, we're putting
a pedal to the medal. Pam BONDI, you know, director
here has also said the our Attorney general, rather, we're
(02:21):
not playing around here. The four years of Joe Biden's
administration with open borders caused us major problems in this country.
So we're going to fix it, and we're going to
write the ship here and for the Democrats to buckle
down on this particular issue that is the number one
issue for Americans right now. Can we please be safe again?
(02:41):
I think it's just, you know, shooting themselves in the
foot once again. So when you talk about due process,
and that seems to be the word that they keep
bringing up, let's talk about these people that are here
illegally right out of the gate. Forget any crimes and
gang affiliations. The fact that you are in this country illegally.
Is that not enough for President Trump to say you
(03:03):
ignored federal laws?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Get out?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Or is it because Biden had a program quote unquote
that allow this to happen. You can't just go back
and follow federal law. Well wait a minute, are we
going to be a nation of law in order or not?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah? Exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
And so the Trump administration actually has a legal argument
for this, which is it goes back to a law
seventeen ninety eight Foreign Enemies.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Act and.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Also the Constitution Article two of the US Constitution gives
the executive branch a the president, power to override the
other branches of government if there is a national security issue.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And so the president's.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Saying, look, you know there are things like temporary protected status,
there are pending asylum hearings, but you can't put people
at risk with illegal aliens by spending months or even
years is going through that process that quote unquote due process.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
If you have a risk in.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
The country and these people originally broke the law by
coming in, it doesn't matter that a judge gave them
temporary status while they waited for their assignment claim. You
have to deal with that risk. That's the argument of
the Trump administration. It's the argument he made in the
election campaign, and it's the one area that he is
(04:26):
delivering on his promise. And because of what the Trump
administration is doing, you're seeing illegal border crossings have dropped
to lows that we haven't seen for decades, lows that
we haven't seen since the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So a lot of people support these policies.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
There are arguments about due process that people will make,
but they're not going to win in a court of
public opinion. They're not really good politically for the Democrats.
And you know, I think that this is the issue
that Trump gets support on. You know, the economy, that's
a different.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Issue, right right, Well, Brian, I want to ask you quickly.
You know, our adversaries have got to be looking at
us with the situation in these illegals and the gang
members and the battle between our governments different parties, and
just laughing. We got to be a laughing stock. What
do you think the perception globally is right now with
(05:24):
what's happening with President Trump trying to get this country
safe again and Democrats saying, don't stop doing that.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, I think you're right. I think in some of
the power.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Blocks, I think in places like Russia or China, they
don't really understand why there is this internal debate. I mean,
those countries are absolutely rustless. They do things to foreign
citizens and to their own citizens that are obviously ten
times worse than anything that's happening here. So I think
(05:57):
in those courses they think, well, America is it's a
funny place, you know, it can't place itself.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's probably the way they look at it.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Then, on the other hand, in places like Europe, in
Western Europe, where.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, the more liberally dominates.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Then I think the media there point to this as
being quite a harsh policy.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
A lot of the.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Media there are anti Trump, and so you know the
way these issues are framed there is saying.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Oh, this is this is quite a harsh thing to do.
But so I think you.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Have those different kinds of opinions you're talking.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, yeah, you're right about it. I mean just watch
Rachel Mattow anytime and you'll see the same thing there too. So, yeah,
we're just being spirited. If we want to keep people
safe in the country. It seems to be the monitra there. Well,
a great talking with you, Brian. We'll do it again soon.
I appreciate your insights.
