Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. High-Profile Deportations and Illegal Immigration

  • Bo describes his role in the investigation that led to the deportation of social media star Cobby Lame, alleging repeated illegal entries, expired visas, and contract fraud.
  • He notes that tipping off his contacts in Homeland Security led to Lame being given the opportunity to self-deport and, after failing that, being physically deported from Las Vegas on June 6th.
  • Quote:
    • “He admitted that he was in the country illegally on an expired visa and entered the country like 49 times... I just flagged it to a buddy of mine… and next thing you know, they gave him till June 1st to self deport, but he didn’t do that.” – Bo (01:27)

  • He faces backlash and threats but receives gratitude from legal immigrants.
  • Quote:
    • “We have a celebrity that’s abusing his celebrity status to break our laws. We can’t do that. We worked hard and we took five or however many years to come here the legal way versus a celebrity, just exploiting the system.” – Bo (02:34)
• Security Concerns and Backlash (03:02–03:47)

• Crime and Living in Liberal Cities (07:50–08:51)

3. National Politics and Social Issues

• Deportations Under Trump v. Obama (04:47–05:05)

[Bo]

The guy's day one policy is like $65 million in transgender surgeries and research and defunding the police. He's saying he's going to make it hard to be a billionaire. I have friends calling me, saying I'm moving out of New York, or like, I was going to buy a house in New York, but not anymore.

[Sean Kelly]

Right.

[Bo]

Because he's just completely. He's destroying it. I mean, there's going to be nothing left. New York is the last place you should defund the police. They need to be more funded, if anything.

[Sean Kelly]

All right, guys, got Bo back on the show at Student Action Summit. I think it's your fifth time on now, right?

[Bo]

It's something. It's getting up there. Yeah. Maybe double digits soon.

[Sean Kelly]

I saw you in the media a few weeks ago for the. How do you pronounce his name? Kobby.

[Bo]

Kobby Cobain. I don't know. People say it differently.

[Sean Kelly]

Kobby Lame.

[Bo]

Kobby Lame.

[Sean Kelly]

So you actually played a role in that deportation?

[Bo]

Yeah, so I had some. I had some buddies who work closely with him, several major contracts and things. And they were all telling me that there's several red flags with this guy. Like, he admitted that he was in the country illegally on an expired visa and entered the country like 49 times on this expired visa. And he was like, signing contracts under four names, sending money back to Senegal to evade taxes, all kinds of crazy stuff.

[Sean Kelly]

Wow.

[Bo]

And so I just flagged it to a buddy of mine, a few buddies of mine in the administration and at Homeland Security, and. And next thing you know, they gave him till June 1st to self deport, but he didn't do that. So he ended up getting physically deported or moved from the Las Vegas airport on June 6th.

[Sean Kelly]

I saw that he was in Vegas, where I'm at.

[Bo]

Yep, Yep. He was heading to Miami for an event, uh, but he wasn't able to make it.

[Sean Kelly]

Crazy. What do you think about all these ICE raids going on?

[Bo]

I think it's necessary.

[Sean Kelly]

You got the Ice jacket.

[Bo]

Yeah, I got the ice jacket. I was outside with the protesters today. They weren't too fond of me, but.

[Sean Kelly]

One of them got arrested. Did you see that?

[Bo]

I did see that. That was. That was crazy. But, yeah, they weren't too fond of me, but it was a good time. And I definitely think the ice raids are very necessary because again, when I did the copy thing, of course I got a. A lot of hate and a lot of backlash and death threats and that kind of thing. But, you know, I know a lot of people are like, hey, thank you. Because I came to this country legally. It was a long and excruciating process. And I'm really glad that. That you're looking out for the little guys. You know, this. We have a celebrity that's abusing his celebrity status to break our laws. We can't do that. You know, and we worked hard and we took five or however many years to come here the legal way versus a celebrity, just exploiting the system.

[Sean Kelly]

So crazy.

[Bo]

A lot of people really appreciated it.

[Sean Kelly]

Who was. Who was giving you hate? Was it people on the left or.

[Bo]

Oh, yeah, people on the left or just anybody like people. I had people coming up to me and saying. Or messaging me saying, I'm illegal. What are you gonna do about it? Well, give me your full legal name. I'll make something happen. So.

[Sean Kelly]

Yeah, that's hilarious.

[Bo]

Yeah, I mean, it was. It was. It was crazy. But like, a lot of death threats, it was. It was insane.

[Sean Kelly]

I mean, dude, there's a lot of people here at legally still right now.

[Bo]

Yeah, I'd hook myself up with another gun. I got the. The dawn father from DNG customs. So it's a fully gold and silver Trump guns.

[Sean Kelly]

Oh, yeah.

[Bo]

Hooked myself up with that for my own safety, so. Damn.

[Sean Kelly]

So you gotta strap up. Damn. People are showing. Pulling up on you and stuff or.

[Bo]

Well, my dress. I think my dress was posted on some website, so. I mean, it was docs. It was crazy. Yeah, Docs. All kinds of threats and crazy stuff. It was. It was insane.

[Sean Kelly]

Holy crap. Yeah, I mean, I guess the guy had a huge fan base too, so.

[Bo]

He had 100 million followers, the most followed Tick Tocker. So it makes sense. Yeah, but I mean, he owes several of my friends tons of money and he's just.

[Sean Kelly]

Has he made a video about this yet or.

[Bo]

No, no, he has. No, he has made no comment on it, but he kind of does it with a lot of things. People were attacking him as well because he like converted to Islam. But then the next day Was, like, with his buddy, posting pictures of, like, giant sacks of, like, marijuana and stuff, which is very haram.

[Sean Kelly]

Damn.

[Bo]

And he wouldn't give any comment on it. So, like, he just. He doesn't talk. I guess he does. He just does this. Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

Another deportation was Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Oh, yeah.

[Bo]

That was crazy. I did not have anything to do with that.

[Sean Kelly]

But that wasn't you.

[Bo]

But that was not me. But, I mean, I would have. But no, that was. That was crazy.

[Sean Kelly]

Right after the Jake Paul.

[Bo]

Right?

[Sean Kelly]

You were there, right?

[Bo]

I would. I didn't go to the fight. That one. I went to the Tyson.

[Sean Kelly]

Oh, yeah. Dude, that's nuts. It was the day after, I think.

[Bo]

Yeah. Yeah. That's got to suck. Losing a fight and getting deported.

[Sean Kelly]

It just goes to show, though, no matter how famous you are, you can't buy your way out of this one, huh?

[Bo]

Yeah. Not in the Trump administration. That's what I really respect. And people also attack Trump. They're acting like this is the first thing. Obama had so many deportations, but he wasn't targeting criminals. Trump is targeting criminals. And he's also targeting, you know, anybody that's exploiting the system that has a higher advantage than your average guy.

[Sean Kelly]

Right.

[Bo]

Like these celebrities.

[Sean Kelly]

So how do you see this Epstein stuff playing out that's been in the media, like, every day?

[Bo]

Oh, my gosh. I mean, I don't. I don't even know where to think on that. I'm very conflicted with it because I obviously, you know, I've been in the celebrity space. I know people that.

Say the Epstein stuff is all true and he's a terrible person and he was sex trafficking kids and bringing people to an island and all kinds of stuff. But then, you know, there's not like a lot of. I don't feel like there's as much coverage and action on it as we said we were going to get, right, which is disappointing. But I still trust the Trump administration. I think that they will deliver on their promises. And if they don't at that point.

[Sean Kelly]

All right, guys, Sean Kelly here, host of the Digital Social Hour podcast, just filmed 33amazing episodes at Student Action Summit. Shout out to Code Health, you know, sponsor these episodes, but also I took them before filming each day. Felt amazing. Just filmed 20 episodes straight and I'm not even tired, honestly. Much like this, where it's just based off, you know, the code, the codes that are in the saline solution. Code Health has been awesome. Feel the drop and go code yourself.

[Bo]

You know, it'll be disappointing, but they're doing so much good. I don't think it's. I don't think it's the worst of situations. And I know that Trump also has a lot of plans and actions in place to take care of kids who are being sex trafficked. And he's closing the border and saving our country. So he's still doing a lot to combat that. Epstein was still out and walking around. He would have been arrested already because Trump is taking so much action against sex trafficking. So I think at the end of the day, there's. There's a lot, A lot of good getting done, and it's unfortunate that we aren't getting things as speedy as we wish, but I think overall, there's. There's more good to look to.

[Sean Kelly]

Yeah. What do you think about this New York City mayor race?

[Bo]

I think Mandani, if that's how you say it, is probably the worst candidate in any election maybe I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Sean Kelly]

I mean, worse than Biden.

[Bo]

The guy's day one policy is like $65 million in transgender surgeries and research and defunding the police. He's saying it's going to make it hard to be a billionaire. I have friends calling me saying I'm moving out of New York, or like, I was going to buy a house in New York, but not anymore.

[Sean Kelly]

Right.

[Bo]

Because he's just completely destroying. He's destroying it. I mean, it's, It's, It's. There's gonna be nothing left. New York is the last place you should defund the police. They need to be more funded, if anything. Because I've, I've watched, I've been there many times, and I'll watch, you know, some street vendor have all their stuff stolen, right. And the police are like, oh, he'll get away.

[Sean Kelly]

Well, when you house, provide free housing to all those illegals.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

Crime rate.

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

Most likely will go up, Right?

[Bo]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so, I mean, one of my buddies here is probably gonna. Probably gonna move out of New York because it's so bad. So, I mean, it's. I hope Mayor Adams wins. I'm happy to help him win any way I can. Tried setting up some initiatives for him. Like, I think he might go on the Nug Boys podcast and that kind of thing. But, but, you know, it's. It's, It's. It's disappointing for sure, because I like New York. I was beginning to like it. I've been traveling there a lot. I don't know how much I will.

[Sean Kelly]

After this Would you ever live in a liberal city?

[Bo]

I would if I was like running or something. And I. Yeah, for a position. I was trying to help them. But most the case, no, because I got. I mean, I got out of California. I live there now. I'm obviously in Florida, so very conservative. Just bought a house here.

[Sean Kelly]

And so I hope you guys are enjoying the show. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. It helps the show a lot with the algorithm. Thank you. I mean, my buddy got assaulted in Seattle a few days ago. My other buddy got assaulted in la. Three guys jumped him.

[Bo]

I mean, it's like, Jimmy, Jimmy Levy got assaulted here.

[Sean Kelly]

Oh, he did?

[Bo]

I mean, yeah. Apparently at some restaurant. Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

Oh, what?

[Bo]

Yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

For what?

[Bo]

Who knows? But he was posting about. He apparently got assaulted. Crap.

[Sean Kelly]

He was on last night.

[Bo]

Yeah. So that's what I'm saying. People are.

[Sean Kelly]

I guess it happens everywhere. But yeah, like, oh, is Tampa liberal?

[Bo]

No, but. But there's liberals here. So they've been going to all the after events and they've been here at the convention center outside of it looking for people, literally just to stir trouble. And there was that one guy who assaulted somebody outside and got arrested. Crazy dude, but well deserved.

[Sean Kelly]

The hell's wrong with people, man? Newsome versus Trump. How do you see that playing out?

[Bo]

Gavin Newsome, I think News Nome is. I mean, I'll give it to him. He's got good charisma. He seems like a. Like a strong personality, likable guy, but obviously, if you look at his policy for two minutes, you're going to throw up. I mean, he's. He's again, one of the worst candidates. He's completely destroyed California. I mean, what was once a beautiful state, kind of the beacon of America, is now trash.

[Sean Kelly]

Right.

[Bo]

I mean, where I used to live, it was beautiful. We moved there. Now if you go back, the whole place smells like a sewer. And I'm not exaggerating that. It literally smells like a sewer. Anywhere you go in the entire city, it smells like a sewer. And that's because two things, not just the illegal immigrants and the homelessness on the crown literally defecating on the ground, but also they let Mexico dump their sewage in our oceans.

[Sean Kelly]

Wow.

[Bo]

So the ocean also smells terrible.

[Sean Kelly]

So what a game.

[Bo]

It's, it's, it's disappointing.

[Sean Kelly]

Is there any.

[Bo]

But I think. I think Trump would beat him. If anything. I think. I don't think Newsom would rally the people. I think he'd definitely do better, like Kamala.

[Sean Kelly]

Yeah.

[Bo]

Or Joe Biden, because we know 2020 was stolen, but I think, I think overall, I think a conservative candidate could definitely be Newsom.

[Sean Kelly]

Is there anyone on the left that you respect that you watch their content? The Trilite from Therisage is no joke. Medical grade red and near infrared light with three frequency, deep healing, real results and totally portable. It's legit photo bio modulation tech in a flexible on body panel. This is the tri light from Therasoge and it's next level red light therapy. It's got 118 high powered polychromatic lights each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers. It's sleek, portable and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it. And then you actually respect their, their beliefs.

[Bo]

I mean, right now I think he's running as an independent, but he was a Democrat. Mayor Adams, I think he's, he's, he's, he's turning around on a lot of things.

[Sean Kelly]

Yeah.

[Bo]

And I think he's doing a good job and I think his race should be supported because there is no other choice as well in that election. It has to be him. So I would say Mayor, Mayor Adams, he's looking pretty good and he's flipping on a lot of things, which I respect a lot.

[Sean Kelly]

Respect. Yeah. What's next for you, bro?

[Bo]

What's next for me is, you know, serving my country any way I can. I'm trying to, you know, build up my income, my, my appearance. I'd like to go into politics as you, as somebody and not just, you know, start out of the blue like a lot of these candidates have.

[Sean Kelly]

You'd be a great political strategist.

[Bo]

Oh, thank you. I mean, yeah.

[Sean Kelly]

I mean, I know what you do behind the scenes. You're super humbled. People don't even know what you actually do. But you, you make some power moves, man.

[Bo]

Yeah, I do what I can and I do a lot outside of it. I have a lot of big marketing strategies and things coming soon that you'll definitely see on social media. So I'm excited for it. I mean, the future definitely looks bright for me. I'm, I'm blessed and honored that my parents put me in this position and I'm able to work towards all these things because I have a lot of big goals. I definitely want to go into politics maybe at some point and serve my country how I can.

[Sean Kelly]

I'll be there to support you, bro. Thanks for coming on.

[Bo]

Thank you.

[Sean Kelly]

Check them out, guys. Peace.
