Fellas, you know Degree Cool Rush deodorant,
0:02
right? Well, last year they changed the
0:04
formula, and guys were mad about it.
0:06
One dude even started a petition. So
0:08
guess what? Degree heard us, admitted they
0:10
messed up, and brought the original Cool
0:13
Rush scent back, exactly how it was.

And it's in Walmart, Target, and other

stores now for under $4. So grab

some and remember why its cool, crisp,
0:21
and fresh scent made it the number
0:23

0:25
Degree Cool Rush is back, and it
0:27
smells like victory for all of us.

almost always begins. John

Bolton seems to issue
1:19

1:21
threat, a

1:25
of Defense Pete Hegseth, plus the
1:28
value of tradition with Fox

2:15
I tend to think
2:17
thematically. I tend
2:19
to draw connections. Arcs
2:22
circles around stories I tend to
2:24
think about what ties everything together
2:27
not just what might exist and
2:29
flow under the current but What
2:31
is the umbrella that makes sense
2:34
of the chaos of the news
2:36
and then there is the Lord
2:38
that seems to speak to you
2:41
at times in Coincidence this morning
2:43
I woke up and rushed through
2:45
some of my preparation for the
2:48
two shows I spend with you
2:50
here every day on the Wilcane
2:52
show. Because I needed to get
2:55
over to my children's school. There
2:58
is an event, a
3:00
tradition, called Pass It
3:03
On at my kids school. It's
3:05
where all the seniors pass on
3:07
a light to the eighth graders.
3:10
So the soon to be freshman in college, pass
3:12
it on at the soon to be ninth graders
3:14
in high school. I have an eighth grader. So
3:16
I needed to go to the Pass It On
3:18
ceremony this morning. Unfortunately, I
3:20
was only able to stay for about half
3:22
of the ceremony, had to rush home, rush
3:25
back to the studio, rush to be
3:27
with you. But in the time I
3:29
was there, I listened to a senior
3:32
and an eighth grader give a speech.
3:34
And maybe because the Lord works in mysterious
3:36
ways, the speeches today were
3:39
about the value of tradition. It's really
3:41
good. It's really heartening
3:43
to hear that coming from a
3:45
13 year old. They
3:48
talked about how tradition can be
3:50
mocked. They talked about, though, also
3:52
how it's the tie that binds
3:54
our culture, our ideas, us
3:56
as people, together. I
3:58
want to read from you now a
4:00
synopsis of the new book by Fox
4:02
host Julie Banderas. The book is entitled
4:05
A Monumental Mistake. It's a
4:07
story of respect, responsibility, and learning from
4:09
those who came before us. When
4:11
Fiona the lioness, Moby the bear,
4:14
author of the lion, And Cassius
4:16
the Tiger stumble upon a forgotten
4:19
statue deep in the Wigamore Woods.
4:21
They each respond differently. Some
4:23
mock the past, others seek to honor it.
4:25
But when a dangerous force is unleashed, the
4:28
young animals learn that respecting history is more
4:30
than just good manners. It
4:33
is essential for the protection of the
4:35
future. I
4:37
don't know that we should believe in
4:40
coincidences, but tradition has been hammered home
4:42
to me through the speech of an
4:44
eighth grader. and the guest I have
4:46
here today on The Wilcane Show. And
4:48
I think it fits in very nicely
4:50
to the thematic umbrella that hits us
4:52
today in the news. Let's get to
4:54
it with story number one. I
5:00
want to read from you some
5:02
headlines today in the news. First,
5:05
I bring you this from
5:07
Massachusetts Live to headline, two
5:10
Harvard students set to undergo
5:12
management. anger management for
5:14
assaulting a student, says the
5:17
district attorney. Meanwhile,
5:20
a new study out of Harvard indicates
5:22
that not just Jewish students but Muslim
5:24
students as well on that campus feel
5:27
quote unquote unsafe. 67
5:29
% of Jewish students, according to
5:31
the Harvard University Task Force of
5:33
2024, feel discomfort
5:35
in expressing their opinions. Meanwhile,
5:38
80 % of Muslim students
5:40
feel discomfort. in expressing their
5:42
opinions. This comes
5:44
as Harvard has put together a
5:46
presidential task force to analyze the
5:49
campus environment and what's been going
5:51
on now for several years we
5:53
have seen on that campus. Elise
5:57
Defonic talking about Harvard, Congresswoman
5:59
from New York, says
6:01
the following when it comes to
6:04
the campus climate at Harvard. Harvard's
6:06
own task force reveals long time
6:08
deep rooted dangerous and rampant anti
6:11
-Semitism embedded in coursework, campus life,
6:13
and faculty hiring. This is further
6:15
confirmation of a significant moral crisis
6:18
facing higher education that I have
6:20
sounded the alarm on in Congress.
6:23
There must be accountability and real
6:25
reform to save American higher education,
6:27
not just reports. And
6:30
then finally, Fox News headline
6:32
today, President Donald Trump has
6:34
revoked 4 ,000 foreign student
6:36
visas in the first 100
6:38
days of his administration. Nearly
6:40
all of those revocations are
6:42
students with serious criminal records.
6:46
Something is going on in
6:48
the Quad. And I
6:50
think when their news is about... college
6:52
campuses and the attitudes and opinions and
6:54
the behaviors of college students, we can
6:56
fall into hysteria or we can fall
6:58
into derision. We often think about these
7:01
dumb students. They're just kids. What do
7:03
they get these ridiculous ideas? But
7:05
I think history would encourage us
7:07
not to take all of this
7:09
quite so lightly because what begins
7:11
usually on the quad ends up
7:13
as a powder keg. Throughout
7:17
history, revolutions
7:20
have rarely started with farmers and pitchforks.
7:23
They have rarely started in the halls
7:25
of Congress. From
7:28
Cal Berkeley to
7:30
Paris, from
7:32
Tehran to Tiananmen Square, what
7:35
you've seen happen among young people, and
7:37
especially college students, has
7:40
sparked movements that have threatened, or
7:43
in reality, changed
7:45
nations. And
7:48
whether it's Harvard or Columbia or UCLA, whether
7:50
it's Jewish students or Muslim students, whether
7:53
it's just a protest, a campus
7:55
sit -in, or something deeper, we
7:59
should pay attention to what's happening
8:01
on college campuses. Let's
8:04
look through history for a moment. In
8:06
1970, of course, you heard
8:08
of the protest on the
8:10
campus of Kent State that
8:12
erupted into gunfire after mass
8:14
unrest. As mentioned,
8:17
the Tiananmen Square protest that
8:19
threatened the Chinese Communist Party
8:21
was led by students. The
8:24
Iranian Revolution of 1979, yes,
8:27
was inspired by religious clerics,
8:29
but was given energy by
8:31
students that exploded into a
8:34
full -bone revolution. Today
8:36
we sit with a new Iran
8:38
from the one we knew in
8:41
the 1970s. College
8:44
campuses are places of great
8:46
free thought and free speech.
8:48
They generate ideas that should
8:50
establish the norm, or re
8:52
-establish and shake up the
8:54
norm. College campuses are a
8:57
place where you go to learn, to grow, to
8:59
think outside the box. But all
9:02
that can manifest. into
9:05
something much more explosive, into revolution.
9:07
And that is not necessarily a
9:09
warning. It can also be an
9:11
inspiration. Depends, of course,
9:14
on the purpose of your revolution,
9:17
what you are trying to overturn, what you
9:19
are trying to change. And
9:21
all we can hope right now is
9:23
that it's not Western civilization and the
9:26
founding of the United States of America.
9:29
Think again about the success
9:31
of young people with radical
9:33
ideas. Here's some names. Vladimir
9:37
Lenin, Leon Trotsky. This
9:40
Bolshevik Revolution in the 1910s
9:43
were youth, Marxist youth, in
9:45
Moscow, in St. Petersburg, anti
9:47
-Zarist. They led the
9:50
Bolshevik Revolution that turned over
9:52
the royalist Russia and gave
9:54
birth to the Soviet Union.
9:57
In the French Revolution, thinkers,
10:01
Robespiers, Voltairs
10:03
were part of the coursework part
10:05
of what you learned which part
10:07
of what you studied but partly
10:09
the energy as well behind Ideas
10:11
of liberty and equality and fraternity.
10:14
There's your French motto that led
10:16
to the French Revolution But don't
10:18
just heat it as warning a
10:20
failed French Revolution a Marxist revolution
10:22
that led to the Soviet Union.
10:24
It happened right here at home
10:26
as well. I mean
10:28
Alexander Hamilton was 20
10:33
James Madison was 25. Thomas
10:37
Jefferson was 33 during
10:39
the American Revolution. This
10:42
wasn't something done through your
10:44
elected leaders at the time,
10:46
your people that debate on
10:48
the halls of Parliament or
10:51
Congress. This
10:53
was led by people who were
10:55
of college age or in college.
10:57
We already had Harvard. We already
10:59
had William and Mary at the
11:02
time of the American Revolution. So
11:04
free speech free ideas radicalism doesn't
11:06
just give birth to something that
11:08
we should heed warning but gives
11:10
something that birth to something that's
11:13
inspiring Like the American Revolution So
11:15
that leads us to this What
11:17
are these young people today who
11:19
should not be dismissed or taken
11:22
lightly? pushing toward this tension on
11:24
college campuses What are they trying
11:26
to overturn? What's the
11:28
revolution? The warning,
11:31
unfortunately, is, in their own stated
11:33
words, to
11:35
overturn Western civilization. Mahmood
11:38
Khalil, the man
11:40
whose deportation hearing is still set
11:42
to be scheduled and who has
11:44
been taken into custody by ICE
11:46
officials whose green card permanent residency
11:48
status is threatened to be revoked,
11:51
who led the campus protests and
11:53
violent action at Columbia, says
11:55
in his own words that his goal
11:58
is to overturn Western civilization. We
12:04
should not take lightly what we see happening
12:06
with America's youth. It's happened
12:08
before, over and over
12:11
and over, Paris, Tehran,
12:14
Tiananmen Square, and right
12:16
here at home in America.
12:18
But we need to talk
12:20
about the ideas that are
12:23
being taught, that are being
12:25
tolerated, that are being
12:31
Fanned the flame of
12:34
these ideas Because if
12:36
it is anti -winterwestern
12:38
civilization if it is
12:40
anti -american don't laugh
12:42
It's a brewing powder
12:44
keg that we hope
12:46
does not metastasize into
12:48
a revolution Understand the
12:50
value of America's part
12:52
of understanding our tradition
12:54
understanding our place in
12:56
history is understanding tradition.
12:59
And as I listened to an eighth -grader honor tradition,
13:02
it made me think about this new book, A
13:06
Monumental Mistake by Julia Banderas, the
13:08

a member of the militia. Julie Banderas
14:51
is a Fox News hostess author of
14:53
a brand new book, A Monumental Mistake,
14:55
which I'm excited to talk about here
14:57
in just a moment, Julie. But first,
15:00
good morning. How are you? Good morning.
15:02
It's so good to see you. I'm
15:05
glad to have you on the show. It's a first, and I hope
15:07
it's not a last. No. I
15:10
want to share with you this clip from
15:12
CNN that I saw yesterday. And I don't
15:14
know, Julie. I don't know what I'm supposed
15:16
to take away from this, OK? National Security
15:19
Advisor. For a moment under
15:21
the first administration of Donald Trump, John
15:23
Bolton, who is a mouthpiece, I think,
15:25
fair to say, accurate, not derisively, a
15:27
complete neocon, perhaps even more accurately, a
15:30
warhawk, he had this to say about
15:32
Defense Secretary Pete Hegson. Do
15:34
you believe Hegson should still be on the job?
15:37
No, I think he should resign
15:39
for his own safety's sake, if
15:41
nothing else. This is a critical
15:43
time for the American military. What
15:47
is he talking about for his own
15:49
safety's sake if nothing else? He
15:52
obviously isn't talking about a safety on
15:54
the front lines because that's not his
15:56
job He's not overseas. That's a threat.
15:58
That is a that's just a bold
16:00
out Like there's there's no other way
16:02
to look at it this I mean,
16:04
it's the same kind of thing that
16:06
you hear from a lot of you
16:08
know Democratic Congress women who have called
16:10
out Elon Musk for everybody to revolt
16:12
against him. They've put a bullseye on
16:14
his back, quite frankly. And now he's
16:16
doing it to Pete Hexeth, which is
16:18
absolutely lunatic. I mean, that's crazy. How
16:20
would you possibly say something like that,
16:23
like for the safety of his own,
16:25
for his own safety? So what are
16:27
you trying to say? Are you trying
16:29
to call on, you know, the bad
16:31
guys and tell them to go after
16:33
Pete Hexeth because he's now under attack?
16:35
That's very responsible. And if something happens
16:37
to Pete Hexeth, he is wholly responsible
16:39
after a comment like that. Yeah.
16:42
I mean, I like you putting into
16:44
the context of everything else being said
16:46
in the current environment and climate, um,
16:48
because it can't be divorced from that.
16:51
What would you put Hexeth? Like,
16:53
if you think about the left's
16:55
public enemies, I'm thinking at this
16:57
point that Hexeth comes in third.
17:00
Of course, Donald Trump is number
17:02
one, meaning who are you going
17:04
to hyperventilate about? Who are you
17:06
going to be the most Uncharitable
17:09
and dishonest about who gonna write headlines and
17:12
attack articles about and obviously number one is
17:14
always going to be Donald Trump number two
17:16
I think has become Elon Musk, but I
17:18
think third is Pete Hegsett I think Pete's
17:20
gonna take the number two spot because as
17:22
everyone knows I mean first of all Elon
17:25
Musk had said that he wasn't gonna be
17:27
there for the entire tenure of the president's
17:30
you know, tenure, he's going to leave at
17:32
some point. He's done his job. He's going
17:34
to continue to stay in touch with the
17:36
Doge team that he put together, which has
17:38
been brilliant. It's saved this country hundreds of
17:40
billions of dollars. But I think now they
17:42
need to find a new punching bag, right?
17:44
And so that's going to be Pete Hegstaff.
17:46
What have they done wrong exactly? I mean,
17:49
in all true respect, when it comes to
17:51
boosting morale among our military.
17:54
You know, he has actually gone overseas. He's
17:56
shaken the hands of these men and women,
17:58
these brave men and women who serve our
18:00
country. He's shown them the respect that they
18:02
deserve. A lot of our military, a lot
18:04
of people have not been enlisting into the
18:07
military because they feel like the morale is
18:09
at an all -time low. And after the
18:11
former administrations... you know,
18:13
discouraging behavior toward the military,
18:15
he's bringing back respect overseas.
18:18
And those men and women deserve it.
18:20
They appreciate it. And good for Pete
18:22
Hegseff to finally shine some light on
18:25
the heroes that are fighting for our
18:27
freedom in this country. And how dare
18:29
any proud American put Pete Hegseff down
18:32
for that? Did he make a few
18:34
mistakes by going on signal and messaging
18:36
people about... some conversations that perhaps should
18:38
not have been on signal. No, did
18:41
he give away war plans? No, did
18:43
he give, you know, proxmets? Did he
18:45
actually give, you know, pinpoints as to
18:48
where these war plans were taking place?
18:50
No. I think it's been totally
18:52
blown out of proportion, but if it wasn't
18:55
a Republican administration, you wouldn't be hearing the
18:57
mainstream media going nuts about this. Yeah,
19:00
I do think it was a mistake to
19:02
use signal you'll find no bigger defender Oh,
19:05
I'm great. I agree. I agree. I mean
19:07
he shouldn't have been texting his wife either
19:09
and and friends and I'm not part of
19:11
this we mission And
19:13
we heard from Donald Trump as recently as
19:15
yesterday in his interview with ABC saying that
19:18
he talked with Hegseth about that and they
19:20
feel good about where they are going forward
19:22
I think the point is not to paint
19:24
the the guidance of the Pentagon under Hegseth
19:26
as a hundred days of perfection But the
19:28
weight of the positive versus the negative I
19:30
think hasn't been properly weighed and you did
19:32
there as well I mean the morale of
19:35
the troops is undebatable. I hear it from
19:37
everyone still to this day. The recruiting is
19:39
up The purpose and focus
19:41
on the purpose of lethality and readiness
19:43
is is there Donald Trump often makes
19:45
the jokes ask the Houthis how Hegseth
19:48
is doing a sec death But it
19:50
doesn't mean that it has come without
19:52
its mistakes and I do wonder this
19:55
Julie because I heard it and I
19:57
think there's two one of two ways
19:59
we can go Okay, is Bolton saying
20:01
that Hegseth is being so lax on
20:04
communication chandles that it compromises his own
20:06
security. Is that what he's saying? I'm
20:09
trying to be charitable. I'm trying to
20:11
think through what he could possibly crossing
20:13
his mind Yeah, then in the alternative
20:15
is what you began to offer us,
20:18
which I think is appropriate Don't divorce
20:20
this from the kind of talk we've
20:22
heard when it comes to Musk or
20:24
Trump where you literally put bull's eyes
20:26
on people's backs and inspire violence against
20:28
them So what is he saying and
20:30
then finally coming from a guy like
20:32
Bolden who's been buried in the think
20:34
tanks and then inside the government Look
20:38
man, am I supposed to pretend like there's
20:40
not black ops? Am I supposed to pretend
20:42
like there's not you know things that are
20:44
done that we never learn about and Bolton
20:46
wouldn't be like what I'm not I'm not
20:49
gonna ignore all of that as well when
20:51
I weigh out what a weird thing to
20:53
say What are you getting at John Bolton
20:55
when you say that his life is at
20:57
risk? Yeah,
20:59
I think it's a threat. I
21:01
mean, and I don't think that
21:03
he's concerned about somebody tapping into
21:05
his social media Okay, I just
21:08
I don't think that's it or
21:10
on his text messages. I don't
21:12
believe that that's his intention I
21:14
think that what he's doing is
21:16
he's driving home a narrative that
21:18
anyone on this Trump administration Should
21:20
be targeted somehow either by force
21:23
online, the hate online is
21:25
out of control, but these are people,
21:27
these are human beings with families and
21:29
their families end up getting targeted as
21:32
well. And that is unfortunate that somebody
21:34
like John Bolton who comes from the
21:36
White House, he knows, I mean, he
21:38
has worked around these circles before and
21:40
he understands how security, national security goes.
21:43
I also have to just say this,
21:45
it's been a hundred days. Pete Seth
21:47
was never a politician. The reason he
21:49
was brought into the White House and
21:52
given this role was because he wasn't
21:54
a politician because he was a man
21:56
of the people. He was a man
21:58
of our war heroes and he has
22:00
the respect of the military. They wanted
22:03
somebody like that who could actually identify
22:05
with these military men and women. Not
22:07
a politician because politicians obviously only look
22:09
out for themselves. Donald Trump
22:11
was not a politician either. And why do
22:14
you think he's been such a huge success?
22:16
because he's not a politician. I think people
22:18
are sick and tired of politicians. They want
22:20
the man of the people in the White
22:22
House that are actually looking out for someone
22:24
other than themselves for the actual people that
22:27
they represent. And if
22:29
you want disruptors, don't get upset when there
22:31
is some disruption. That's to address some of
22:33
the stuff that's happened inside the Pentagon about
22:35
who's in, who's out. But the point of
22:38
disruption or disruptors is disruption. All
22:40
right, Julie, I don't know when you
22:42
joined the program and how long you
22:44
were there listening to me this morning,
22:47
but I Just in a monologue on
22:49
sort of the historical The historical lesson
22:51
of revolutionary young people and what's happening
22:53
on college campuses today in America. Yes,
22:55
this morning I went This morning I
22:57
went to a ceremony at my kids
23:00
school. It's called pass it on it's
23:02
a religious ceremony, but also it's a
23:04
marker of Seniors passing on their light
23:06
to incoming freshmen. I have a incoming
23:08
freshman and the eighth grader who will
23:10
be a freshman got up and gave
23:12
a speech And his speech was about
23:15
this tradition of pass it on. And
23:17
he talked about the value of tradition.
23:19
Now, I don't know if I believe
23:21
in coincidences, but I sat there and
23:23
I thought I'm about to have this
23:25
conversation today with the author of the
23:28
book, A Monumental Mistake. I read the
23:30
synopsis of your book at the top
23:32
of our show. It's a children's book
23:34
and I love it. But as much
23:36
as anything, Julie, I
23:38
just love, you know what I
23:40
love? The, the
23:43
Venn diagram overlap. of
23:45
doing something new, writing
23:47
a children's book that
23:49
reinforces an old value
23:51
of tradition. You know, we're
23:54
chock full of books about tolerance and
23:56
progress and caring and feel good. And
23:59
here we've got a really cool story
24:01
about the danger as well of ignoring
24:03
tradition and history. It
24:06
absolutely is. And I think in order
24:08
to teach your children not to ignore
24:10
tradition, not to ignore history is to
24:12
teach them to respect it. You know,
24:15
we have our freedoms in this country
24:17
thanks to others, people that came before
24:19
us. And that's where I think it
24:21
needs to start. You need to not
24:24
only respect your peers, your elders, and
24:26
those who even you disagree with. It's
24:28
fine. agree to disagree. But
24:30
respect those who came before you and
24:32
understand that that's why we are where
24:34
we are today. And I think, you
24:36
know, that's why I wrote a monumental
24:39
mistake because it really does teach children.
24:41
I think the best way parents can
24:43
teach their children, first of all, are
24:45
through stories. It is a proven fact.
24:47
There have been studies on this that
24:49
when children hear stories, they
24:51
identify with those stories and they actually
24:53
apply them to real life. So this
24:55
story is about. teaching to respect those
24:58
who came before us and to respect
25:00
one another, whether you disagree with them
25:02
or not. And it's so important, especially
25:04
now in this day and age, I
25:06
feel like this country is so divided.
25:08
It's more divided than I have ever
25:11
seen. I've never seen more hate in
25:13
this country and more political divide. Parents
25:16
who hate each other and other parents
25:18
in their community, based on politics, that's
25:20
the lessons that we're teaching our children.
25:22
And our children are listening and they're
25:24
watching. Who do you think? raised
25:27
all those people at these college protests that
25:29
are preaching hate. That's all they're doing. These
25:31
anti -Semitic protests are preaching hate. Where did
25:34
they learn that from? They learned that from
25:36
a young age, and I can promise you
25:38
my kids will never grow up and be
25:40
at protests like that, because I have taught
25:43
them to respect those that you disagree with,
25:45
to respect those in your community, to respect
25:47
elders, to respect your teachers. We don't see
25:50
that enough in this country anymore, and it's
25:52
really sad what's going to become of our
25:54
next generation if parents don't step up right
25:56
now. That's my greatest fear, and so that's
25:59
why I wrote this book, because I just
26:01
want to get it through to parents. it
26:04
through your children, because you're saving our next
26:06
generation. And I think old fashioned,
26:09
yes, ma 'am, no, ma 'am, that needs to come back.
26:11
It shouldn't be old fashioned to be respectful. That should be
26:13
something of the future. So
26:16
the story of a monumental mental
26:18
mistake is about these animal characters
26:20
who happen upon this, this statue
26:22
in the woods. And
26:24
they all have a different reaction to
26:26
it, right? Tell me about that some
26:28
market, some honor it kind of without
26:30
giving away the whole story, give me
26:33
some sense of what happens in a
26:35
monumental mistake. Well, you remember in this
26:37
country how these historical monuments were torn
26:39
down under democratic leadership, right? Because they
26:41
represented a stain in American history. So
26:43
in other words, a racing history. Well,
26:46
in this book, much like we've seen
26:48
in society, there is a monument, and
26:50
it stands for something. And it stands
26:52
for a significant moment in history, a
26:54
significant moment in the past. And a
26:56
couple of kids' characters in the book.
26:59
decide to deface the monument and they
27:01
disrespect the monument and their friends tell
27:03
them no this monument stands for something.
27:05
The monument is of a general named
27:07
General Wigamore and he fought for his
27:09
not for his country but for the
27:12
forest that they live in okay and
27:14
they deface it and a monster appears
27:16
and they are taught a very hard
27:18
lesson and I won't give it away
27:20
that teaches them that not only did
27:22
they disrespect their friends who urged them
27:25
please do not deface this monument they
27:27
were throwing rocks at it and they
27:29
didn't care and they were being disrespectful
27:31
toward their friends for ignoring them but
27:33
they were also disrespectful to the monument
27:35
and in the end they learned to
27:38
respect the history behind this monument to
27:40
respect their friends and they also learn
27:42
forgiveness because they do ask for forgiveness
27:44
and in the end they are forgiven
27:46
so not everyone's perfect Sometimes we will
27:48
be disrespectful, but I hope at least
27:51
if a child is disrespectful after reading
27:53
a book like this, they will know
27:55
that if they ask for forgiveness, they
27:57
will be forgiven. And I think that's
27:59
also something very important for parents to
28:01
teach their kids. So
28:04
I've been thinking about tradition, it
28:06
feels like, for a long time,
28:08
Julie. So I think since I
28:10
was a kid, I've had a
28:12
pretty strong Illogical
28:15
meaning it's not something that I thought
28:17
through but rather just felt reverence for
28:19
tradition. Yeah, there's something that you feel
28:22
in The way it was done before
28:24
you and the way it was done
28:26
before your parents and the way it
28:28
was done before that that's handed down
28:31
as I Got older and I think
28:33
this is this is part and parcel
28:35
of being a young person This is
28:37
why as I laid out at the
28:40
beginning the show today revolutions actually do
28:42
begin with young people positive and negative
28:44
revolutions the American revolutionaries were very young
28:46
dudes So were the Soviet revolutionaries, so
28:49
it's what what are you revolting against?
28:52
But you kind of start to then
28:54
dismiss the idea of tradition because hey,
28:56
you're fully hubris you're young you're reinventing
28:58
things and you're here to do it
29:00
better than they've done it in the
29:02
past and you can also see the
29:04
problems with tradition like Slavery is a
29:07
human practice that exists within the realm
29:09
of tradition. It has always existed It
29:11
is something that we've done from the
29:13
beginning of time and the fact that
29:15
we always did it does not give
29:17
it does not give it moral authority.
29:19
Right, but I feel like That's an
29:21
exception to the rule like instead of
29:23
seeing that and going well that that
29:25
gives we should question tradition even more.
29:27
I think it's we should analyze tradition
29:29
even more because There's something about passing
29:32
things on For thousands of years, multi
29:35
-generationally, that by its very
29:37
nature, suggests it has value.
29:39
Otherwise, it would not have
29:41
survived. If your brain goes back
29:43
to slavery, remember, there are exceptions
29:45
to every rule. But the fact that
29:47
human beings formed families, raised
29:50
kids, over millennia, suggests
29:52
it's the best societal fundamental building
29:54
block. And on and on and
29:56
on, we can look at things
29:58
that have survived humanity. That
30:01
survival is tradition, and it
30:03
gives value, the existence of
30:06
the more, the practice, the
30:08
culture that makes it a
30:11
valuable tradition. You're
30:13
absolutely right. And if you think about it
30:15
in a lot of our nation's schools, what
30:17
they're trying to do is they're looking at
30:19
stains in history, such as slavery. Okay, that
30:21
is a perfect example. And they
30:23
want to erase it. They want to
30:25
take books away that actually teach about
30:27
slavery, about Abraham Lincoln, about
30:30
civil rights movements. They want to
30:32
erase history. In order
30:34
for our youth to learn, they
30:37
need to learn about history. They need
30:39
to respect how we got here today
30:41
and the mistakes that we made and
30:43
the corrections we made to get here
30:45
today. Yes, they made
30:47
mistakes back then. And here we
30:50
are today. We've gotten so much
30:52
further. But if you will raise
30:54
history, then how are we to
30:56
learn from, like you mentioned, traditions
30:58
and history and respecting the history
31:00
that came before us and what
31:02
led us to where we are
31:04
today? And we, these children and
31:06
we as parents, are teaching the
31:08
future. And someday they're going to
31:11
be a part of history when
31:13
they grow up. And so how
31:15
do we correct? the problems and
31:17
the mistakes of the past, we
31:19
teach and we share these valuable
31:21
traditions and lessons of our past
31:23
in order to prevent it from
31:25
ever happening again. If you wipe
31:27
out history, it's gonna possibly happen
31:30
again. Right? So I don't understand
31:32
why there are so many schools
31:34
now in this country that are
31:36
so against this and they're so
31:38
woke and they're so afraid of
31:40
actually teaching children part of American
31:42
history and they want to erase
31:44
part of the past. And I
31:46
think that is why our children
31:48
don't necessarily respect history because the
31:51
school systems are taking it away.
31:54
Yeah, I think it's a combination of two
31:56
things. I just think it's hubris. Every generation
31:58
thinks it can reinvent the world in their
32:01
own image and it will always be better.
32:03
And the other is the more overt
32:05
revolution against Western civilization. And
32:08
we have an example of this
32:10
hubris, at the very least. I
32:12
wanted to point you, Julie, to
32:14
this today. The Education Department finds
32:16
University of Pennsylvania violated Title IX
32:18
over transgender swimmer. This is, of
32:20
course, about Leah Thomas, the
32:23
man swimming as a woman at
32:25
the University of Pennsylvania. won
32:29
the division one NCAA 500
32:31
yard freestyle Mediocre as a
32:33
man everyone knows the story
32:35
at this point of Leah
32:37
Thomas has made popular by
32:39
Rowley Gaines, but now the
32:41
Education Department's Office of Civil
32:43
Rights Division is saying that
32:45
Penn violated Title IX which
32:48
is I think a step
32:50
towards not just accountability, but
32:52
sanity and fairness I
32:54
mean, it's fairness. This is not,
32:56
and what really bothers me is
32:58
that the mainstream media is so
33:01
stuck in focusing on conservatives, Republicans
33:03
hating on the trans movement and
33:05
being discriminatory. That's
33:07
not what this is about. I
33:10
mean, just on Monday, I
33:12
was talking on Fox and
33:14
Friends about this trans student
33:17
here in Long Island in
33:19
Shirley, New York, 14 year
33:21
old girl, six feet tall,
33:23
competing on the women's or
33:25
the girl's track team. She
33:28
does not take hormones. She
33:30
only identifies socially as a
33:32
girl. but she's a biological
33:34
boy, and therefore she's allowed
33:36
to run on a track
33:39
team. Is that fair? Absolutely
33:41
not. I have a 15 -year
33:44
-old daughter. She's nowhere near six
33:46
feet tall. And, you know,
33:48
parents are saying, you know, this is not
33:50
about hate. It's about fairness. And
33:52
why is it that because we have to
33:54
be so woke these days that we have
33:57
to then be unfair? I can't even understand
33:59
why the two should be in the same
34:01
sentence. There is absolutely no sense of that
34:03
whatsoever. And that's where we are today. And
34:06
for parents who are at home
34:09
trying to explain to their children
34:11
what trans means, maybe try to
34:13
teach acceptance, but also teach fairness,
34:16
not the hatred that those that
34:18
don't believe that it's okay for
34:20
a female, for a
34:22
biological male to compete on a
34:24
female team, you're therefore considered a
34:26
discriminating trans, anti, gay, you
34:29
know, homophobe, that's not the message, but that's
34:31
the message that a lot of liberal parents
34:33
are teaching their kids. And then they grow
34:35
up to be those college students who are
34:38
protesting at these heinous protests. Well,
34:40
I want these office of civil rights divisions
34:43
at the DOJ and the education department to
34:45
look into more It's my belief that over
34:47
the last five or seven years we have
34:49
been blatantly Unconstitutional openly anti -western civilization by
34:52
embracing identity whether not it's race or gender
34:54
We have been anti -american and I think
34:56
there's been serious violations that need to be
34:58
investigated Whether or not that's driven out of
35:00
what we've talked about today anti -traditionalism progressivism
35:03
reinvention of the world in your own image
35:05
whatever it is it's Un -American and I
35:07
want more of this. I want some accountability
35:09
and correction Because that's the bedrock of our
35:12
tradition. I was really excited to read about
35:14
your book I think it's really cool what
35:16
you've done with brave books a minor mistake
35:18
I love stories what you talked about the
35:20
power of story totally agree and I think
35:23
even the age group you're targeting I've thought
35:25
should I write a YA book like I
35:27
got to write a book every Fox person
35:29
writes a book. I got to write a
35:32
book You need to get on the book
35:34
train. Well, I don't know what are you
35:36
waiting for? But I
35:38
like that you're using story, targeting young
35:40
people and focusing on things like tradition.
35:43
It's all about tradition, install it and just instilling
35:45
morals and values. I mean, that's really what Brave
35:47
Books is about. Oh, by the way, you can
35:49

Rob Scoggins says on YouTube something's
37:54
wrong with Ivy League Colleges when
37:56
and how did this happen? We
38:00
could at least go back
38:02
I would suggest to the
38:05
1930s and 40s when radical
38:07
ideas and revolutionary thought led
38:09
every academic in the direction
38:11
of progressivism and the left.
38:13
Progressivism itself, an idea dating
38:15
back to the 1910s and
38:17
1920s, an ideology that rejects
38:19
the value of the past
38:21
and tradition. Land Party Animal
38:23
says, that's right, go to
38:25
college, get into debt, learn to
38:27
be a total S for brains.
38:30
There's a real question about the value
38:32
of college. Yes, Land. Ron
38:34
says it's Spiritual warfare Mike Oswald says
38:37
college is a place of higher learning
38:39
not protest in fair mongering if you

39:26
have you been on the air for a total of 15

39:32

39:46
speaking at four o 'clock Eastern time today
39:48
as well. It's been a,
39:50
uh, soft launch, Vince. It's been a
39:52
soft launch. Uh,
39:55
there on the Wilcane show. I want
39:57
to talk to you, man, about some
39:59
of this, uh, due process. Okay. Donald
40:02
Trump yesterday sat down marking the hundredth
40:04
day of his administration with Terry Moran
40:06
at ABC News. They had quite a
40:08
back and forth. Okay. Here's
40:10
a little bit of what they talked about
40:12
when it comes to illegal immigration and due
40:14
process. The law requires that every
40:17
single person who is going to be
40:19
deported gets a hearing first. Do
40:21
you acknowledge that? I'll have to ask the lawyers
40:23
about that. All I can say is this, if
40:25
you're going to have 21 million people and we
40:27
have to get a lot of them out because
40:29
they're criminals, we're going to
40:31
have to act fast. Do you think
40:34
we can give 21 million trials? Let's
40:37
say each trial takes two weeks. Is
40:39
that what you want us to do? The
40:42
law is the law, sir. The law is
40:44
the law. The law doesn't say anything about
40:46
trials. No, not trials. Hearings. hearings. These people
40:48
came in, they're not citizens. They came in
40:50
illegally. They came into a country illegally. We
40:52
have to get them out. There's a legal
40:55
process for them. I can't assure, and we
40:57
follow the legal process. I can't have a
40:59
trial, a major trial for every person that
41:01
came in illegally. And
41:04
the interesting thing, Vince, is we're joined by
41:06
Donald Trump at his cabinet meeting. flanked
41:09
by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
41:11
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as we
41:13
speak live, and just for tradition's sake,
41:15
we're going to bring him there onto your screens. Maybe we'll
41:17
dip in and listen in a minute. But
41:19
the interesting thing is there is due
41:22
process. There has been due process. Outside
41:24
of those designated under the Alien Enemies
41:26
Act, designated as a foreign terrorist organization,
41:29
and by the way, when it comes
41:31
to Kilmar Brego Garcia, already had a
41:33
great amount of due process, it's
41:36
like we're pretending like they're not. Getting any
41:38
measure of due process? Well,
41:41
there's a lot there that you just said
41:43
to unpack. And, you know,
41:45
listening to test my 14th Amendment knowledge.
41:47
I mean, the one thing that we
41:49
do know is the 14th Amendment applies
41:51
to and the specific word used is
41:53
person. It's not citizen.
41:56
That's the first thing to remember, because a lot of people
41:58
like, why do these people even get
42:00
due process? Well, that's why they get due process.
42:03
The second thing is it's it's
42:06
True. It's due process. It's not
42:08
a trial. So I
42:10
think that a lot of people
42:12
don't understand what the difference is
42:14
between those. And that's
42:17
another thing. Then there's the
42:19
new wrinkle that you just
42:21
added. And you're right. There's
42:23
this new qualification or characterization
42:25
of MS -13 as a
42:27
terrorist organization. And then
42:29
you get into whether or not those
42:31
terrorist organization members have a right to
42:33
even the due process. So there's a
42:35
lot of layers there. The
42:37
only thing with the guy in
42:40
Maryland that was deported that I
42:42
think works against the administration is
42:44
whoever it was that said, we
42:46
made a mistake in deporting that
42:48
person. Well, if that's the case,
42:51
then undo the mistake. Now,
42:53
again, how far do you go to
42:55
undo that mistake? And is
42:57
it one of those things where
42:59
we can't because now we've lost
43:02
control of the mistake, which happens?
43:04
you know, other countries have their legal
43:06
rights to the people that are now
43:09
in their country. So it is a
43:11
lot of nuance here that people have
43:13
to like kind of step back and
43:15
look at and say it's a lot
43:17
of levels, a lot of layers. OK,
43:20
I want to get into some of that on our screen right now.
43:23
Kelly Laughler is speaking at the Donald Trump
43:25
Cabinet meeting in the background is Elon Musk.
43:28
Fellows, I don't know if Vince has
43:30
returned on his screen and he can see it or
43:32
fellows back in New York. Is Elon Musk double -hatting?
43:35
Does he have a Make America? I don't
43:37
know what the red hat it says. Is it on
43:39
top of a black hat? I think
43:41
Gulf of America is the hat he's wearing. I think
43:43
he's wearing it over that Make America Great Again black
43:46
hat he likes to wear a lot. So
43:48
he's got a hat on top of a hat.
43:51
Interesting. How
43:53
bad would you like to
43:56
be a billionaire for one
43:58
day and just not have
44:00
any... care it all like
44:03
that. Just one day. Two
44:06
days. Can you bring up the audio as Elon Musk
44:08
talks a little bit about his double hat? Here
44:11
we go. Vincils, listen. So,
44:13
you know, the
44:16
American people voted
44:18
for secure borders,
44:22
safe cities, and sensible spending. And
44:25
that's what they've got. A tremendous amount
44:27
has been accomplished in the first 100
44:29
days. As everyone has said, it's more
44:31
than it has been accomplished in any
44:33
administration before ever, period. So
44:36
this portends very well for what happened
44:39
for the rest of the administration. I
44:43
think this could be the greatest administration in the
44:45
country. All
44:47
right. He's now talking about, along with
44:49
Donald Trump, the first 100 days of
44:51
administration. He made some jokes about his
44:53
double hat. Yeah, I
44:55
mean the world's richest man
44:57
does not seem to take
45:00
himself too seriously, which is
45:02
kind of kind of endearing
45:04
events Or whatever that is
45:06
that he did could be
45:08
one of the best ever
45:10
by the way I Have
45:12
to go back and look
45:14
at his before and afters
45:16
on the hair trans I
45:18
find it fascinating what You
45:20
would think money would be
45:23
insurance But Matthew McConaughey has
45:25
had perhaps the greatest hair
45:27
transplant. I would put it
45:29
above, above Elon Musk. Right,
45:32
close. But for some reason, money
45:34
did not take care of LeBron
45:36
James. His has not seemed to
45:38
have taken to the same level.
45:40
So it's not simply being rich.
45:42
the Lakers did have a basketball
45:44
player who apparently found the cure
45:46
to AIDS. So I don't think
45:48
the Lakers can double dip there
45:50
because I think it's the one
45:52
cure maximum. per team.
45:55
You can't have it all on that one. Miracle.
45:57
Come on. Only one medical miracle per team in
45:59
the NBA. That's it. The
46:06

47:34
the dram. Welcome back to The Wilcane
47:36
Show. Okay, let's go back now for
47:38
a minute to talking about due process.
47:41
I want to play for you, Tim
47:43
Pool. He has a YouTube show, very
47:45
successful one. He was talking about this
47:47
concept of due process. Let's listen to
47:49
Tim Pool. Due process does
47:51
not mean a criminal trial. Well, that's what
47:53
I mean. Dude, they didn't deserve a criminal
47:56
trial, so they didn't get one. Therefore, due
47:58
process was... Yes. Followed even though
48:00
there was no process. Well, the process was just
48:02
get out. See, this is the gaslighting. And I
48:04
got to stop you. This is
48:06
the gaslighting. They say they were deported with,
48:08
you know, like under Obama, none of these
48:11
guys got deported. That's incorrect. What
48:13
process are you do? OK, as an
48:15
illegal immigrant, you get reviewed
48:18
by law enforcement. They check your IDs.
48:20
They can check the IDs and detain
48:22
any American citizen at any point. If
48:25
there's reasonable suspicion, which is incredibly easy
48:27
to get. An officer can stop you
48:29
and ask you questions. They
48:31
can ask for your ID. You don't have to give
48:33
it to them. You can say I'm being detained and
48:35
you can go. But if they have reasonable suspicion that
48:38
you're an illegal immigrant, they can escalate a little bit.
48:41
All right, so he begins the process there of what
48:44
you talked about. Let's start with
48:46
the 14th Amendment. Okay, every person is
48:48
due due due due process. Due process
48:50
is not a one size fits all
48:52
cracker jack box price. It's different for
48:55
everyone. An American citizen gets more due
48:57
process. An illegal immigrant gets
48:59
less due process. And as you talked about,
49:01
and what does that mean? Full -blown criminal
49:03
trial? I do believe that's sort of what's
49:06
being, like, gaslighted or led to believe much
49:08
of the American population. Terry Moran
49:10
says to Donald Trump, no, no, no, a
49:12
hearing, okay? Then you have the third component,
49:14
which you talked about, the Introduction of the
49:17
Alien Enemies Act for anyone who's a Trende
49:19
Aragua or MS -13 member. Less and less
49:21
and less due process owed to that person
49:23
every step of the way. And from what
49:25
we've seen, Everyone, including
49:28
Kilmar Brego Garcia, got some level of the
49:30
process along the way, somewhere. They had a
49:32
hearing. They were deemed an illegal immigrant. I
49:34
agree with you about the mistake. I don't
49:36
know what to make of the quote -unquote
49:38
mistake. But just letting everyone
49:40
at home know the facts of what
49:43
is due process, how does it apply
49:45
differently to different people, and everyone got
49:47
some measure of due process changes the
49:50
narrative being sold to you about what's
49:52
happening under the administration. It
49:55
does and listen, I'm not the
49:57
right guy to start quoting the
49:59
Davis decision from 2001 because it's
50:01
not like I just read it.
50:04
I'm familiar with it. I think
50:06
where it gets messy is the
50:08
incarceration period and the holding period
50:11
because from what I understand and
50:13
I'm sure your viewers can test
50:15
me on this and you can
50:18
too. I think there's a 90
50:20
day maximum. that you
50:22
can detain somebody and that's where
50:24
this whole thing gets messy from
50:26
administration to administration because you have
50:28
one administration that calls process handing
50:31
someone paperwork and sending them on
50:33
their way and doing nothing then
50:35
you have another administration that says
50:37
well we're going to hold you
50:39
in Gitmo or we're going to
50:41
deport you or we're going to
50:43
do or we're going to hold
50:45
you indefinitely and and again the
50:47
problem here will is when you
50:50
start doing this by executive orders.
50:52
And you don't have people that
50:54
just come down and write laws.
50:56
And right now you have Trump
50:59
where he does, you have the
51:01
House, you have the Senate with
51:03
slight majorities. I don't understand
51:05
why someone is not just putting
51:07
something on the floor like we
51:09
saw with the last administration. Look,
51:12
is it going to be bipartisan? No, it's
51:14
going to be perfect. No, but at least
51:17
codify the process part of it. That shouldn't
51:19
be that. Well, but I think there's an
51:21
answer. Here's the answer. Vince, by the way,
51:23
I'm not familiar with the Davis opinion. I
51:26
can't push back nor nor endorse what you
51:28
had to say. I do know that in
51:30
1996, I believe President Bill Clinton signed a
51:32
bill that that laid out this what we've
51:35
what we've talked about this diminishing level of
51:37
due process, depending upon your status in this
51:39
country. And so that some
51:41
of that is codified and was under
51:43
a Democrat president. My suspicion is this,
51:46
a. You have administration that is
51:48
focused on action, not waiting. We've
51:50
waited long enough. We're going to
51:52
get stuff done. B, the
51:55
courts will have their say. The
51:57
Supreme Court of the United States
51:59
will weigh in. A lot of
52:01
these things will be litigated. The
52:03
Supreme Court will have their say
52:05
on due process. C,
52:08
a lot of this is inside the executive branch.
52:10
So there is levels of interpretation for enforcement when
52:13
it comes to the executive, even in the face
52:15
of a Supreme Court opinion. D,
52:18
I think we will see some of this when
52:21
it comes to the quote -unquote big beautiful bill.
52:23
And the reason that they're not piecemealing it out,
52:25
Vince, is because you know as well as I
52:27
do the nature of politics. Like once you do
52:29
an immigration bill, then the
52:31
problem is Republicans are all, you're
52:33
right, they have House, they have
52:36
Senate. Where do they go
52:38
fall apart? It isn't on immigration. They
52:40
fall apart on budget. Budget
52:43
is where they fall apart. They all have different
52:45
views on deficit and so forth. How do you
52:47
keep them together? By making them,
52:49
making it be packaged with something where
52:51
they are all together, immigration. So
52:54
if you do immigration quick and get it out of
52:56
the way, the problem is, are you ever going to
52:58
get a budget? And we haven't had a budget and
53:00
I don't know how many years. We're
53:02
continuing resolution and so forth. We
53:05
got to get this fiscal thing
53:07
on track. But sticking
53:09
with the immigration and here's where I
53:11
tend and listen, I'm a lawyer where
53:14
I tend to be. and
53:16
letting the Supreme Court basically make laws
53:19
where Congress doesn't do anything. And we've
53:21
seen it. We've seen it with abortion
53:23
rights. We've seen it with a lot
53:25
of, you know, gay marriage. We've seen
53:27
it with all of these things is
53:29
that, well, you say, okay, well, they're
53:31
going to rule on this thing and
53:33
we're going to have a new law.
53:35
I don't want a country where the
53:38
judicial branch is acting where Congress is
53:40
not because, yeah, when the court is
53:42
kind of. you know conservative in your
53:44
favor you're like god this is cool
53:46
then it goes the other way and
53:48
all a sudden so what happens is
53:50
it's never up to voters it becomes
53:52
up to judges depending on the cycle
53:55
of the court that you're in and
53:57
that's not the way the country is
53:59
built that's not the way it was
54:01
ever supposed to be built and as
54:03
someone who does like the way the
54:05
country was founded that does like the
54:07
different branches you know i the danger
54:09
here is that congress runs on these
54:12
issues They raise money on these issues
54:14
and they never act on the issues.
54:17
So, you know, yeah. And it's the
54:19
president is always forcing the hand. So
54:21
what you do is one administration, open
54:24
borders, go wild. 20 million people here.
54:26
They're never going to hear all these
54:28
cases. You handcuffed the other
54:31
administration into the only thing Trump
54:33
can do, which is look, you
54:35
want me to, you know, see,
54:37
seal the border. Here's what I
54:39
have to do to seal it.
54:41
Now, the one thing we have
54:43
seen. No one's trying to even
54:45
a cross will. So the effect
54:47
of his policy has stopped that.
54:49
Okay. So now we got to
54:51
get to that other part that
54:53
you're talking about, which is this
54:56
process part. And what is it?
54:58
It's no way you're going to
55:00
have 10 million hearings. Forget about
55:02
trials. 10 million hearings
55:04
in four years. It's
55:06
not going to happen. God
55:08
just shows how bad. what happened over
55:10
the last four years was, it really
55:13
does. Like you just let
55:15
all these people in and you can't do
55:17
anything about it unless you have a president
55:19
that acts. And I think that puts us
55:21
back on the the issue because I hear
55:23
you, I don't want laws made by judges
55:25
in the face of laws made by Congress.
55:27
I also don't want an executive that can't
55:29
act because of judges. And we're seeing a
55:31
lot of that right now. I don't believe
55:33
that district judges should have the power for
55:35
nationwide injunctions. I want the Supreme Court to
55:37
hear that right away. You control your district,
55:39
your region. You don't control the nation. I
55:42
don't think the founders had any idea that
55:44
300 and some odd district judges would have
55:46
equal power to the president. No one thought
55:49
that. And so I want the
55:51
executive to be able to do what he's
55:53
been elected by the people to do. And
55:56
listen, no one saw and I
55:58
don't think even when you had
56:00
immigration problems. I mean, what were
56:03
immigration problems? As an Italian born
56:05
of immigrants, you know, we saw
56:07
the immigration problem in Italian neighborhoods
56:10
in Brooklyn and the Bronx and
56:12
you literally had people getting onto
56:14
ships and jumping off the ship,
56:17
jumping off of ships. But that
56:19
was something that was more controllable.
56:21
You can count it when you
56:24
literally have caravans of hundreds of
56:26
thousands of people and the government
56:28
does nothing. and you overwhelm the
56:31
government, you overwhelm the courts.
56:34
Well, the only thing you can
56:36
do is what this president did.
56:39
Now, whether or not it's
56:41
legally right, whether it's, you
56:43
know, you want to get into moral ethics
56:45
to me, it's just about whether it's legally
56:47
right, whether it's legally right or not, you
56:50
know, and you're going to battle
56:52
that in the courts. Well, then
56:54
what you're going to do is
56:56
you're going to still hold up
56:58
10 million people. So fighting this
57:00
thing in the courts is not
57:03
going to speed up that process
57:05
And the main thing is though
57:07
what we can agree on is
57:09
I hope we can like We're
57:11
actually talking about the issue at
57:13
hand. So this hyperventilation about Donald
57:15
Trump is an authoritarian dictator who's
57:17
scooping up American citizens and absconding
57:19
them off to foreign gulags. It's
57:21
just like it's just It's nonsense
57:24
It's complete nonsense. And Obama
57:26
had kids in cages. So
57:28
look, we could do this
57:30
with every president along the
57:32
way, whether it's, you know,
57:34
bombing Syria, putting kids
57:36
in cages, the deporter in chief
57:38
as Obama was called, we could
57:40
go back to Clinton and what
57:42
he said with regards to immigration,
57:44
where if you took that speech,
57:46
copy and pasted it and showed
57:48
it to 350 million Americans and
57:50
said, who was the president that
57:52
said this? You know, everybody on
57:54
the left would say Trump and
57:56
you'd be like, no, wrong, Clinton.
57:59
So let's forget about that and
58:01
somehow some way codify this thing.
58:03
Now, again, if you want to
58:05
leave that to the Supreme Court,
58:07
we'll guess what's going to happen.
58:09
It could get overturned. God knows
58:11
when. But if these people
58:13
actually sit down and write laws, which
58:15
none of them want to do because
58:17
they want to campaign on it, then
58:19
what are you left with here other
58:22
than what the president's done, which is,
58:24
look, these terrorist organizations, we gotta
58:26
outlaw them, we gotta ban them, you lose
58:28
rights. And you know what
58:30
happens in that process? Well, you're
58:33
gonna have mistakes. It's
58:35
just part of the nature of the beast.
58:37
You're gonna have, look, you have them both
58:39
ways. So like the people that came over
58:41
the border that didn't get any due process.
58:44
See, nobody wants to talk about that. Nobody
58:46
wants to talk about the guideways. No one
58:48
knows anything about. But they
58:50
want to hang their hand on this
58:52
one guy from Maryland, because you could
58:54
put a face to it and say,
58:57
look, here's our current poster person that
58:59
we're going to run with. Even
59:03
presuming for a moment that it's true that
59:05
it was a mistake, one mistake versus 20
59:07
million mistakes. By the way, on one last
59:09
illness, here's Ilan Omar. If
59:12
they thought the first 100 days
59:14
of chaos would break us, they
59:16
were wrong. Because across this
59:19
country, millions of us are standing
59:21
up for our human rights and
59:23
our democracy. Judges are
59:26
fighting back to block these
59:28
unconstitutional executive orders. Here
59:30
in Congress, we are
59:33
fighting back every single day.
59:35
We are fighting to protect
59:37
immigrant families from mass detention
59:39
and deportation. We are
59:41
fighting to prevent horrific cuts
59:43
to Medicaid, SNAP, and
59:46
Social Security. It
59:48
won't be easy, but we
59:50
must continue to organize to
59:52
speak out and to build
59:54
a future that reflects our
59:56
highest ideals You know Vince
59:58
there's one more thing that
1:00:00
we should point out that
1:00:02
you did I think so
1:00:04
far in the first hundred
1:00:06
days one roughly 160 ,000
1:00:08
people have been deported 5
1:00:10
.3 million people were deported
1:00:12
under President Obama I Mean
1:00:14
well, this is the thing
1:00:16
and you know I love
1:00:18
this hundred day thing because
1:00:20
it's such a take on
1:00:22
the way we are today
1:00:24
with this, you know, the
1:00:26
immediate reaction, immediate
1:00:28
response of social media and
1:00:30
like buttons and things that
1:00:32
we've reduced the presidency. So
1:00:35
what have you done in your
1:00:37
first hundred days? Yeah, but
1:00:39
the answer is a lot. But the
1:00:41
answer is a lot. Even still judge
1:00:44
a marriage. in the first hundred days,
1:00:46
and then come see me in year
1:00:48
two, ask me how that first hundred
1:00:50
days was, according to the second year
1:00:52
of that marriage. How you doing now?
1:00:54
How's that bliss from that first hundred
1:00:56
days? Look, man, you
1:00:59
can't, this immediate gratification,
1:01:01
this immediate response thing,
1:01:04
I hate it. And everyone just, you
1:01:06
know, it's so funny because, look, and
1:01:08
both sides do it, you know, the
1:01:11
tragedy of Biden, the tragedy of
1:01:14
Trump. And it's like, rather than
1:01:16
look at what we want to
1:01:18
say hasn't been done, hasn't been
1:01:21
fixed. Let's look at what has
1:01:23
been done and the effect of
1:01:26
it. But nobody wants
1:01:28
to do that because, again, the
1:01:30
way this thing is attacked is
1:01:32
we're going to pick this person
1:01:34
from Maryland. Ah, there was
1:01:37
a mistake. Let's hang our hat on this
1:01:39
guy. And see, you don't know how to
1:01:41
deport people. And here's what's going to happen
1:01:43
to everybody. And then it
1:01:45
becomes amplified when Trump does that thing
1:01:47
will that neither one of us can
1:01:49
defend. I'm sorry, where he says, you
1:01:51
know what, maybe we'll deport citizens to
1:01:53
who cares. And it's like, dude, don't
1:01:55
make it stop. Don't do
1:01:58
that. No one can defend
1:02:00
that. And you make the
1:02:02
mistake amplified. So. You
1:02:04
know, again, somebody's got to
1:02:06
sit down. When I say sit down, I don't
1:02:09
mean on the steps of the capital. You
1:02:11
know, don't sit on the steps. That's what I
1:02:14
mean. I almost feel
1:02:16
like he does it as catnip
1:02:18
for them to go chase the
1:02:20
shiny. Chase that. I'm going to
1:02:23
deport American citizens. Chase Trump, 2028.
1:02:25
Chase these things that are meaningless
1:02:27
while we get real stuff done
1:02:29
here in America. There's
1:02:32
a little bit of context nuance and truth when
1:02:35
it comes to due process and illegal immigration with
1:02:37
