Steven Crowder
Live lineup, 9am Eastern now to 7pm Eastern. We appreciate you can just keep watching all day. You don't need to change that dial if you still had a dial. But you get the point and it's all free rumble, where free speech actually lives on. Look, we're going to be talking about quite a bit today, but I'm just going to tell you every now and then I have a bias. This guy has been my favorite person in this administration. You know it. At some points it's been downright uncomfortable as to how much praise I've allotted upon him. But today on the show for at least a full half hour is Tom Holman. What else is there to say? On with the show? Tom Holman. Home and home and home and just Tom and home and home and home and home and home and home and home and just Tom and home and home and home. Holman, he does these interviews. He very clearly doesn't want to be like he looks. Every interview that I see of Tom Holman, he looks like he just got off a job site sitting on a cooler, like, all right, I gotta go do this bull. Do this interview. I'll be right back.
Dave Landau
I'll be back, boys.
Tom Holman
You see that video? I'm curious.
Steven Crowder
What do you think?
Tom Holman
I'm not going back to Haiti. Well, he's wrong. He's going back to Haiti. I tell him that. The fear, the horror, the hell is this guy?
Steven Crowder
Come after me, arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. On what grounds would you arrest Gavin Newsom?
Tom Holman
Well, that whole thing's been taken out of context. They haven't crossed the line yet.
Steven Crowder
So, Tom, arrest me. Let's go.
Tom Holman
But like any other US Citizen, if you cross that line, I don't care who they are, the governor, the mayor, wherever, when you commit a crime against ICE officers, we will seek prosecution every.
Steven Crowder
Time you see Tom Holman on Fox News.
Tom Holman
First of all, they're not law abiding into country legally, which is a crime.
Steven Crowder
Every time you see these law enforcement officials doing flashy television interviews.
Tom Holman
No one's above the law.
Steven Crowder
Understand that they are taking attention and focus and real dollars and real resources away.
Tom Holman
Tom, your response to her. I take pleasure in the fact I can live in her mind rent free every day. And I said from day one, January 20th, we will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats. However, we will enforce law. No one hires an illegal alien. I truly believe out of the goodness of their heart, they hire them, can they work them harder, pay them less and Undercut their competition. There's a lot of people in this country don't like me. I don't care. When you listen to the lake and Riley. Seventeen minutes. That young lady fighting for her life. Don't just think, okay? A young woman died. Think of how she died, the terror that she went through. This can be the first administration in the history of the nation to have operational, total operational control of our southern border. We have a lot of work to do. We gotta remove every public safety threat, national security threat from this country. And that's what makes this emergency. We need the money. You know, a lot of arrests. More than Biden. Nowhere's near what we need. What price do you put on national security? Is that worth it?
Steven Crowder
Is there a way to carry out.
Dave Landau
Mass deportation without separating families?
Tom Holman
Of course there is. Families can be deported together.
Steven Crowder
I'm home and home and home and home and just. I'm home and home and home and home and I'm home and home and.
Tom Holman
Home and home and just.
Steven Crowder
I'm home and home and home until I'm back. Click Rumble Premium and join now for 99 annually, or 9.99amonth, to get the entirely ad free experience and an ever expanding roster of content creators and free speech. Glad to be with you. We have to move through this relatively quickly today because it is. Well, it's 11:00am on a weekday, which means we're live. And at 11:30 we're. We have ICE director, border czar, whatever you want to call him, he's the man of the hour, the man of this administration. Tom Holman, let me first ask you, we've been told this quite a bit. Do you believe there are any jobs done by illegal aliens, namely here in the states that Americans are unwilling to do so do we need more immigrants for highly skilled jobs? You know, when we're talking about H1BS, which of course we have many people on the right who support Uncapping Unlimited, or do we need them for jobs that Americans won't do? Low skilled sort of menial labor. If so, which jobs? Because we hear people talking about it. I've heard people say janitors. I know plenty of American janitors.
Gerald Morgan
I don't know my janitors are American.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, yeah. All three of them. Yes. I like Christopher Walken and Joe Dirt.
Gerald Morgan
That's a great one.
Steven Crowder
You might have liked to sew, bang, have a sew that stab you in.
Gerald Morgan
The face with a soldering iron.
Steven Crowder
Soldering iron. All right. Captain Morgan, CEO. Welcome. Glad to have you here, sir. We're all excited. And Friday, June 20, at Helium Comedy Club in Indianapolis, Indiana. And then Saturday he's in St. Louis. You can see all his dates. Jfierstein.com Mr. Firestein.
Gerald Morgan
Hey, what's up? I'm excited for this. Tom Holman rules.
Steven Crowder
Yep. I like him a lot. And I've been, I don't think there's a single at least notable interview from the last couple of years, certainly since he's been in this administration that I haven't seen. And I tell you, there, there's a side to him that I think you guys may not know about. And he actually comes from an incredible place of compassion because if you see what he has seen at the border, you understand the consequences. He is not just living proof. He's the man who is willing to take the uncomfortable action of dealing with the fake victim culture in order to protect real victims right now at the southern border. And you may not know just how horrific that is. And he, of course, he was a police officer, border patrol agent, worked his way up working with ice. He was tapped. He was asked because they needed his help. And he's been doing this for a long time. When you say someone with experience, you're talking about Tom Holman. He was also, by the way, for those who don't know, pretty good looking guy when he was younger. Oh, yeah, yeah. Look at that. Look at that stud muffin. Right?
Dave Landau
There you go.
Steven Crowder
It's like, like chips.
Dave Landau
It's a little weird calling him a stud muffin, but fine.
Steven Crowder
Then there's this one, too. See, look. Look at that guy. All right, that's the, that's the homecoming king. And he was, he actually even did some modeling in his younger years. He was with Coppertone AD Yeah.
Tom Holman
I'm.
Steven Crowder
Not going to get, not going to get sunburned. Pissed off at the sun Dog grumbling.
Dave Landau
All right, I'm deporting that Chihuahua.
Steven Crowder
And we're gonna talk about some recent immigration wins, where we are. And after him, we'll be talking about the coalition of President Trump and what's going on with Iran and Israel, obviously. But before we get to any of that, the latest pop sense. You may not have heard of her, but you probably have seen this. It's going viral. You know Greta Thunberg, okay, it's not her, but it's her sister Beata, who is now the next, I believe, Swedish Idol.
Gerald Morgan
Well, she swims better than Greta.
Steven Crowder
There's not much else to, to really talk about there. It's just, it's just the culture of me it's like, yeah, you don't have it. You don't have it. So you should probably stop that. And actually, she probably could carry a tune if she wasn't trying to do all the runs in the vocal gymnastics.
Gerald Morgan
Maybe not.
Dave Landau
That's fine.
Gerald Morgan
It's like she's trying to do her own auto tune.
Steven Crowder
Sucks. Okay, who's your favorite Thunberg? That's the question of the day. Let me.
Dave Landau
I don't know what to even say to that. Boobs.
Steven Crowder
Oh.
Dave Landau
What?
Steven Crowder
Whoa.
Gerald Morgan
We weren't gonna talk about those.
Dave Landau
I didn't say that.
Steven Crowder
You did.
Dave Landau
Is that AI?
Steven Crowder
No. Prove that you didn't say a new excuse for everyone. Was that AI? No, it's you. Check the tape.
Dave Landau
400D.
Steven Crowder
What?
Dave Landau
Is that what I said?
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Gerald Morgan
Prove that you didn't say it.
Steven Crowder
Yep. Yep. Exactly.
Tom Holman
Change.
Steven Crowder
Whatever my mind.
Dave Landau
Stop it.
Steven Crowder
Let's set this up for time. Let's talk about what's going on in this country, because I feel like a lot of people have maybe moved on from this. This is why President Trump was elected. It was one of the most important issues. Yeah, Obviously inflation, the economy. Those have been going swimmingly, basically, as far as the effects of the actions from this administration, and certainly as far as illegal immigration, the southern border right now is the most secure it's ever been. Is the entire problem solved? No. But that's a big win. This administration did, really, in eight weeks what the Biden administration couldn't do in four years. And so now we're moving on, and then people are talking about international affairs. And I get it. But I do think some gratitude would not be out of line there. That is a. That was a big reason I was supportive of Donald Trump, because this. This ship can't be righted until we. We plug the holes in the hull. And we have. We have. So Sunday, President Trump tripled down on the issue of escalating deportations in major cities. This is what he wrote. He said, ICE officers are herewith ordered by notice of this truth to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest mass deportation program in history. It's the largest. The biggest in history, folks. In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside. To ice, FBI, dea, atf, the patriots at Pentagon, and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go get the job done.
Dave Landau
Djt.
Steven Crowder
So the response, of course, from the left. And you've heard this quite a bit. We've presented montages, but I want to laser in on one person because she's the worst. The response from the left is very predictable. Right. Their argument is, hey, well, if we kick out the illegals, though, who's going to do the jobs? Like, who's gonna clean your toilets? Who's gonna clean your house? Who's, you know, all those kinds of jobs? Because these folks are inherently racist. Just hear it from the Turtles Club lady right here as she makes the case for racism.
Tom Holman
So I'm in my beautiful city, la, and I have friends texting me like all morning. My gardener didn't show up, my housekeeper didn't show up. Oh, my farmer's market was closed. Everyone's scared. Well, this is not going to just happen in LA. And you 1 percenters that only voted for Trump because of money, that's not.
Steven Crowder
What we voted for.
Tom Holman
You're going to have to do your own dishes or clean your own house or mow your own lawn and all that wonderful produce. The organic produce you get for your brunches, all gone.
Gerald Morgan
They'll come after brunch.
Tom Holman
Yeah. You're going to actually have to do some work around your house. These people are important.
Steven Crowder
Tell us you're part of the privileged white bitch with liberal arts degrees demographic without telling us that you're part of the privileged white bitch with liberal arts degrees. Who's gonna do your dishes? Me. Who's gonna clean your house? Me. Who's gonna have my. Okay, I'll let you know. I do have someone mowing my lawn, but that's because I averaged out the cost. I moved to a new house, didn't have a mower, and over the course of three years, it ends up being about the same. But also, you just have a man do it, the outside stuff. And, you know, I'm willing to bet she's not a wife. Kids, you do the dishes. It doesn't seem you clean the house. Not every American has other people do it. And they don't have to be brown.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, it's crossing a line, man.
Steven Crowder
Right? Yes.
Gerald Morgan
We can't have any hands dirty.
Tom Holman
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Dave Landau
I love how we lost Josh at brunch. Like, he was all on board with the deportations until he realized she just assumed.
Tom Holman
Yeah.
Gerald Morgan
Now I'm like, whoa, hey, we gotta take it easy here. Who's gonna make my biscuits and gravy?
Steven Crowder
The tone deafness, your organic produce, and the person who cleans your house, who mops it, who does Your dishes. That's very few Americans. You understand that? Here's the truth. Americans actually do want to do the jobs that illegal aliens have taken. This is something pretty important. Now, we know this through polling data, but we also have some pretty, pretty specific examples this last week. So last week, ICE raided Glen Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, where there were more than. I believe it's like a meatpacking plant. There were more than 100 employees who were working there illegally.
Dave Landau
He's not.
Steven Crowder
What a grateful American.
Gerald Morgan
That doesn't look like a farmer's market.
Steven Crowder
Meat packing slaves. Gracias.
Gerald Morgan
Gracias. I think she knows what thank you means.
Dave Landau
Goodbye.
Steven Crowder
So that happened, and now those jobs that you just saw, right, they were made available. They're now going to be filled by Americans who want to do them. This comes from NBC News. Two days after the raid, every seat in the waiting area of Glen Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications. Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day.
Dave Landau
There you go. Who knew if you opened up jobs, people might actually show up for him. By the way, how in the hell were they employing over or 100 people illegally?
Steven Crowder
Well, this is a thing, right? It's the culture of fake victimhood, of fake virtue that creates actual victims. And I'll get to the quote of the man who was running this facility. I also want you to just a quick note before I go on to the jobs issue for all of those people who, you see, you see that lady being deported right there, people who make it through, and you see, yeah, there are some people who are just trying to live a better life here. There could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 who also were seeking a better life here. But they were intercepted by the cartels and they're now forever a sex slave. That's one thing you don't, that Tom Holman has pointed out quite a bit in his interviews. Every single person coming here illegally across the southern border has to at least pay some kind of a fee to the cartels. Usually use a coyote. And if they spot someone with a skill or a look, guess what? You now owe them more money. Or you can work it off effectively as a modern slave. So you see those. There are plenty of people who were just seeking a better life here in this country as well. And because of the open borders, the drug cartels were able to pounce and destroy families. Wouldn't happen if the borders were closed. You need to remove the incentive. But going back to jobs, this is Another win. A million foreign born workers left the workforce. They have left the workforce since March alone. Now that does correlate directly with a 0.4% rise in wages in May. Can't say it's the sole causation, but it correlates quite strongly. Native born employment in this country is back to all time highs. And that does matter because for those of you who've forgotten, under Joe Biden, when he talked about the job growth, most of it was Covid rebound. There were 0, 0 new native born jobs. There was no native born job growth under Biden.
Gerald Morgan
Private sector.
Steven Crowder
All of the job growth. Yeah, all the job growth was from foreign nationals. Foreign. Many cases I would imagine illegal aliens, but still none who were born here. They lost jobs.
Dave Landau
I remember when we talked about that, I was like this has got to be wrong. There's no possible way that that is true. And then, you know, I looked at the charts, right? Just like what?
Steven Crowder
Well, it's just like they change the numbers and go, oh wait, we can increase the say the deportation Numbers with the CBP1 app and you know, we can. Or we can actually just put them through a process where they're no longer here illegally. And then Donald Trump turned it to like it's now, it can now just be used to self deport. And that's a bonus. About 1 million people here in this country have already self deported.
Dave Landau
Nice.
Steven Crowder
We may see the first net outward migration in this country that we have seen in 50 years. Now if we were to combine that with fixing the birth rate problem that has been thrust upon us by feminism and environmentalism, we could really head the right direction here in this country. I thought I told you, Josh, there's no Skittles in the studio.
Gerald Morgan
These aren't Skittles. These are freeze dried. They're called Rainbow rockets.
Steven Crowder
That's still Skittles. And how about this? No candy in the studio at all. Let's do that.
Gerald Morgan
No, I mean they're pretty good. What's wrong with having candy in the studio?
Steven Crowder
I don't want to deal with it.
Gerald Morgan
Oh, well, you know, I don't know. It's fine.
Steven Crowder
No, Sam.
Gerald Morgan
Sam not fine to me.
Steven Crowder
Sam.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, Sam sold to me.
Steven Crowder
But there's. Those are free. Dry. Is he, is he using my new. My harvest, right? Freeze dryer? Yeah, no, no, that's. That's for, that's for food prep and for meal prep. Like you make an entire meal. It's with the harvest. Then you put it in the harvest. Right, the freeze dryer. You freeze Right. You just rehydrate it. It's incredibly convenient. I don't want them using it for candy.
Gerald Morgan
Well, I don't know anything about that. I just know he's making a killing.
Steven Crowder
All right. What? No, no, that's not what we're supposed to be doing here.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, you're right. The freeze dryer is good for all that stuff, but the candy is amazing. You gotta try it. Here, come on, have a little piece.
Steven Crowder
Okay. It's taking you a long time to just. What is this?
Dave Landau
Can I try it?
Steven Crowder
Yeah, you drive.
Dave Landau
Yeah, bring it over here.
Tom Holman
Yeah, I'll give Gerald any.
Dave Landau
Come on.
Steven Crowder
Why?
Dave Landau
Why not give Geraldine?
Steven Crowder
That might actually be the most single delicious thing I've ever put in my mouth.
Dave Landau
That's actually really good.
Tom Holman
Yeah.
Dave Landau
Have you had this before?
Steven Crowder
Was that freeze dried candy? Yeah.
Dave Landau
Yeah. All right.
Gerald Morgan
It's freeze dried candy.
Steven Crowder
I'm using it for zero meal prep. So preserve your favorite snacks. Freeze dry candy. And by the way, you can prepare all of your meals without denaturing it, without losing any of the nutritional value. Go to harvestright.com crowder and also food prep. You can make your own fruit preparation for disaster storage, like canning, except better. Harvestright.com, that might be the best candy I've ever had in my life. That's not even a joke. That's the first time I've tried freeze dried candy.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Dave Landau
I thought it was all a gimmick and I was like, okay, now I've heard the hype.
Gerald Morgan
You could put anything in that thing, man.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Yeah.
Gerald Morgan
You could put spaghetti, meatballs in there.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Wow.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, you could put, you know, Laffy Taffy. You could put.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. We're back to candy now, I see.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, I quickly get back to candy.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
We'Ll do some taste tests and we'll make Gerald have to test them blind.
Gerald Morgan
That's a good idea.
Dave Landau
Yes. What? Yeah, like.
Gerald Morgan
Like ask. Like make him guess if it's freeze dried or not.
Tom Holman
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Or just make him guess which. Which food is freeze dried.
Gerald Morgan
Which one is freeze dried?
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Okay. That'll be fun. And by the way, we're gonna take some of your chats too. If you have specific questions for Tom Hallman coming up here in about, I guess, 11 minutes. If you haven't yet downloaded the Rumble app, download the Rumble app and follow us there. If you're watching this on YouTube, if you're on Facebook, if you're on X, don't be beholden to an algorithm. We're live weekdays at 11. So you can bookmark it. But we also do special streams and the notification there just lets you know when we're live.
Dave Landau
Yep.
Steven Crowder
Did you have anything you want to add here to.
Dave Landau
So apparently Ilhan Omar apparently just went on. What is it? Democracy now. Democracy now. On a little bit of a screed. I don't know exactly what she said, but I think it relates to everything that's going on.
Steven Crowder
Oh, really? This is a clip.
Dave Landau
Ilhan Omar.
Steven Crowder
Okay. To be coming out of our country. I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that.
Gerald Morgan
No one's clawing again in Somalia for.
Steven Crowder
The world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people's constitutional rights while the president is spending millions of dollars in Somalia. The military wasn't in your streets.
Gerald Morgan
Shut the hell up.
Steven Crowder
I know. Well, they were pirates.
Gerald Morgan
I saw Black Hawk Down.
Steven Crowder
It is really shocking and it should be a wake up call for all Americans to say, this is not the country we were born in. This is not the country that looks.
Dave Landau
A hell of a lot like the.
Gerald Morgan
Country you were born in.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, it's not the country you were born in. It's the country that this American public voted for. They just can't help themselves. They just don't understand that it is overwhelmingly popular right now to secure the borders and deport illegal aliens, including among Hispanic.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Legal immigrants. She just said one of the worst countries because of our military in the streets. Hold on a second. You mean these other countries don't have military in the streets? And by the way, these. This isn't the military in the streets. This is an operation to remove foreign threats. Foreign nationals.
Dave Landau
Yes.
Steven Crowder
We have no ability to track. Do you think. What's the. Can Mission control get this to me? I was listening to all these Tom Homan interviews. Tens of thousands. I know, hundreds of thousands or millions total, but tens of thousands in a very short period of time of Chinese nationals coming across the southern border. Do you think that happens without the knowing full well of the Chinese communist government and of course the cartels who have their tentacles and everything. You think it's an accident. You think that Al Qaeda doesn't know about the southern border? Isis.
Dave Landau
Right.
Steven Crowder
And I get it. I get it. I understand you're saying. Yeah. But a lot of people are just coming here to seek a better life.
Dave Landau
Sure.
Steven Crowder
Do you know what happens to an attractive young lady who is coming to the United States to seek a better life. And the drug cartels who run the southern border spot her. What if that was your daughter?
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
What if it was your son who was being baked alive in the back of a truck? Literally baked alive in, like, a horse carrier, whatever you call it. Horse trailer with no windows. I've watched Tom Homan talk about this. I've watched him talk about what it is that has changed his view. When he sees the deportations, he says, okay, at least I'm stopping that. He's had to see bodies of children who were pleading for their lives. You think the cartels have things called rape trees? You know what those are? It's where they put up a trophy to let other people know how many of the young girls they've raped. Is it everybody? No, but none of it happens. If there's no future for these operations at the southern border. It only happens because we encourage it. We incentivize it. And so this whole culture of fake victimhood. Well, you create actual victims. I've told you this. More slaves on Earth right now than ever in recorded history. Over 40 million. How do you think that happens? Has Ilhan Omar. Has she counterbalanced this at all with. Of course we need to cut down on sex trafficking. And, of course, we need to. We need to cut down on the cartels and offer to plan on how to do it. Yeah, we can all just do the moral outrage thing like in Riley. The millions of people who have become indentured servants and slaves forevermore. You're mad because of a gentle deportation process, Sending people back to the country whose flag they are waving. In many instances, we don't live in the same country.
Gerald Morgan
I just can't. I can't get past the fact that she was comparing the US To Somalia.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, I know.
Gerald Morgan
Military in the streets. No one's getting. No one gets deported from Somalia.
Steven Crowder
Right?
Gerald Morgan
Correct.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. This country's so bad that you literally banged your brother to get a visa so you could both stay here.
Tom Holman
It's true.
Steven Crowder
I mean, I don't. That is the furthest length I can think of. Like, I can say, how far are you willing to go? Bang your brother? I guess pretty far. All right. You've earned your keep. We think you mean it.
Dave Landau
And nothing about this country has changed. We've always been pro border security. We've just had administrations not do their job. We had 176,000 Chinese nationals illegally cross under Biden.
Steven Crowder
176,600.
Dave Landau
Just under Biden, 106,000.
Steven Crowder
And these numbers are Always low. Cause that's what we know.
Dave Landau
Of course. Yeah, they're always low. But I don't understand this mentality too on the left right now to say that our military in the streets. What did you see was our military shooting people, our military attacking United States citizens. Was it a parade? Or was it some of the security that was being provided in California to make sure that other citizens didn't have property destroyed or lives ruined, maybe ended by angry mobs of people? Because we've never seen that happen in LA before.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Dave Landau
What are you really against right now? You're against America.
Steven Crowder
I'll tell you exactly what it is. Here's where they would be okay with that exact same scenario. Change it from ICE to the FBI and irs. Instead of deporting people, they're collecting taxes. And no problem there, that's what taxes are. You don't pay them, someone with a gun comes and takes you away. They'd be completely fine with that. Here's what it is. They wanted to change the census rule so that illegal aliens could be counted in the census.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Guess where they live? Mostly. Largely. Largely blue areas. Big blue cities.
Dave Landau
Who.
Steven Crowder
When you think of the electoral process. Oh, wait a second. More seats granted, right? More representation. They are willing to not only sell out Americans, but they are willing to ignore the human trafficking, the sex slavery, so long as it buys them votes. You know, they don't have a problem with using. With using officers against their citizens. Yeah, because they want you to pay your fair share. No matter what you pay, it's never enough. What do you think happens if you don't pay taxes? Does that mean it's a military occupation? I would argue that you could make the case more strongly for tax collection than you could for deporting people who are here illegally. It's all fake. I'm telling you this. I used to say, don't be. Don't. Don't be in the business of attributing motive. Right? Don't attribute to malice what you can chalk up to incompetence. There is no case to be made anymore that this is anything other than malicious. Do you really think that, Ilhan Omar. You really think that? Gavin Newsom? You really think they don't know that there are more slaves on earth right now than ever in recorded history? Do you really think that they don't know the cartel work hand in hand with corrupt many cases, communist governments to bring in foreign nationals and skim off the top, by the way, skim off the top is take the pretty girls Take the young kids without parents who are young, impressionable, can't really do anything. It's. Oh, okay. Yeah. Here. Yeah. Here's a coyote. Did I say 10,000? It's 20,000. Is this where your friends live? Is this where your family lives? There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do. By the way, if there are employers here. Oh, sorry, did I say. Did I say 15 an hour? I meant seven. Does that sound good? I think it sounds good. You're literally. You're systemically encouraging cruelty. You're systemizing cruelty when you don't have a border, when you don't have reasonable immigration policy. And that's the thing that I've seen from Tom Homan. Really spending a lot of time. You know, it's great. It's funny, because he clearly has no tolerance for the media.
Dave Landau
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
And he said. He said, yeah, I'm pissed off. I watched the interview. Yeah. He said, people say, why are you pissed off? I woke up pissed off. You know why? Because we could do eight weeks where it took what didn't do in four years. This didn't have to happen. Yes. Something needed to be done. And people go, oh, Oh, I can't. Can you believe Tom Holman? They try and paint him as cruel. Okay. You do his job and go, look at these scorched and dismembered bodies of children that number in the thousands and figure out how to solve that problem. And not maybe have little bit of a chip on your shoulder when people say that you're the cruel bastard out there in charge of deportations. I get it. I get it. And I like that his anger is aimed at the right people, the cartels and the governments that facilitate it.
Dave Landau
Yeah. And we knew this was gonna be a messy process from the very beginning because the media won't. They won't miss an opportunity to try to do something that makes Trump look bad. Right. This is going to be a difficult process, but the polling has stayed very consistent that people want this done. Let's do it, do it right and do it once and then let people come here the right way. They want to come into this country, and we want to let them in. There's a process for that. Everybody's in agreement. It could help with employment. It can help with housing prices right now. What do you tell a young family right now that just can't afford to buy a home? They're stuck in kind of permanent renter class right now because everything's super inflated. Well, if you remove about 10 to 20 million people just in the last four years that came here under the Biden administration. I imagine rents and also home prices might go down a little bit to become a little bit more affordable. So the American dream can happen.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. You have something that you need. Like during COVID Right. I needed to get a car because the air went out. I know, but I needed to get a car because the air went out. And with twins and, you know, all black interior, I had to get one and they couldn't get the parts. And we're going and going, wait, used cars or what? I guess a new car. Wait, new cars are. And there are none on the lots. How are people affording. How are that many people affording 50, $60,000 cars, which was, you know, the running price for not very nice vehicles at that point in time? I went, oh, I get it now. People don't have to worry about Mr. Taxman so coming on here really soon, and we're going to ask him about all this and more. Look, people talk about those who've actually done something working in government and how that's important. This man was a police officer, was a Border Patrol agent, and he was a special agent in the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the ins. Then under ice, he was a deputy special agent, executive assistant director now, I think for Enforcement and Removal. He's the acting ICE director for. I believe it's hard to keep track because he did a lot during Trump 1.0 and then 2.0. Now he's being referred to as the Border Czar. And I think the official title is Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations. That's why I will say Border Czar. He also founded Border911 foundation, which is a 501c3 dedicated to Border security. And as I told you earlier, you know, a good looking chap who did some child modeling, but he also dabbled in. In child acting. N. Mr. Holman, where are you going? I'm going home to my mother.
Tom Holman
She loves me.
Steven Crowder
Even if I did deport Juanita. He's a man of many. A man of many talents. Hope he has a sense of humor. I hope he does.
Dave Landau
He does not mean.
Steven Crowder
That's not my face in Shirley Temple's body, is it?
Dave Landau
No, no, not at all.
Steven Crowder
No, it's not. I don't know who told you that. That we're still waiting on him to connect. He's getting seated right now. I know he's getting seated. He's connecting.
Dave Landau
He's been busy deporting people.
Steven Crowder
Yes, he's a guy who this is. This is something that's a necessary evil. Oh, yeah, It's a necessary evil for him. I don't think that he wants to be out there. I don't think this guy has a book deal in mind. I don't think he's looking to go out and just chase clout on social media. I appreciate the frustration when he's asked stupid questions.
Gerald Morgan
I feel it too. It's like. It's like voicing my frustrations, you know?
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Dave Landau
He's like every man, you know, he's like. My response to it is he just gets to say it, which I love. I'm like, oh, good. Finally somebody just saying what they think.
Steven Crowder
And they can all be. To pour together.
Dave Landau
Yeah. Like, fantastic.
Steven Crowder
I guess I. I guess I never thought of that.
Gerald Morgan
That sounds very nice.
Steven Crowder
He's like. He's a guy who's actually been there on the ground and done it, and you don't really get that. I mean, Hegseth would be one of them. That's why they tried to make him out to just be a Fox News morning host. I know there's something to be said for that. I mean, you compare someone like this versus a Joe Biden who hasn't seen the private sector, let alone any type of actual conflict scenario since his mid-20s. How is that guy going to know how to run those departments? And then he has a team of advisors who also have not seen the private sector. Right.
Gerald Morgan
I think Mitch McConnell's been in office since the Civil War.
Steven Crowder
I believe so, too. Yes. Yeah, exactly.
Dave Landau
Wasn't Kamala Harris the border czar under the Biden administration, and at one point, she hadn't even been to the border.
Gerald Morgan
Well, she hadn't been to Europe either.
Dave Landau
I know.
Gerald Morgan
I don't understand what the problem is.
Dave Landau
But I guess the point that I'm making is that I want a guy like Tom Homan. I want a guy who's seen it. Now, listen, you don't want to be the guy who's seen it, though. Like, that will change your life. That will. I mean, you know, imagine watching the two Hour Sicario and all of the like, oh, my gosh, the horror that you see in some of those scenes in real life, living the reality of that daily as your job. That's the person I want on the border because he's gonna go. You're worried about ruffling a few feathers on the way out. Have you seen what's happening on the border? Have you seen the horror?
Steven Crowder
Right.
Dave Landau
Like, not like a Kamala Harris. Like, I wanna do what feels good. I've never even been to the border.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Dave Landau
That's who you want there. Yeah. So thank God for people like Tom Holman. And thank God he's in that position now doing this job.
Steven Crowder
Well, it's. It's a moral imperative. It's a moral imperative not only to secure our border, but look, and not the only argument isn't the drug cartels and the violence, like I've told you, anywhere from 150 to 450 billion dollars a year, they cost you, the taxpayer. For many Americans, that's some meals out of your family's mouth. For many Americans, that's a trip that you don't get to take with your family. For many Americans, that means that mom has to go and work a second job and misses out on that precious time during those precious years with those kids. And for me, look, that's enough. That's enough. And I don't think it's an act of cruelty to send people back to the country from which they've come. And in many cases, certainly with these recent riots, the country of the flag that they're waving. So the man who needs no further introduction and I think MVP of this administration, couldn't be happier to have him on. Let's bring him tool man. Mr. Tom Holman. Mr. Tom Holman, thank you for being here, sir. Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Tom Holman
I can see you and I can hear you. How you doing?
Steven Crowder
I'm doing. I'm doing all right. And that's. We were just talking about how we love that you are not only straightforward, but you answer the media very often how I think so many people want to, with a low grade irritation, but justified and something that's relatable. But first I want to say, hey, you know what? I'm sure you probably don't get this a ton. Thank you. I mean that for what you're doing. Thank you for what you're doing for the country. It's a big deal.
Tom Holman
I appreciate that. But I really give the thanks to the men and women of the Border Patrol. Men and women of ice. You know, I was in bed at 2:00, clock, 3:00 clock this morning. They weren't. They were out there, you know, patrolling the border, out there wrestling bad guys. So I really salute them. I'm sitting in, you know, I'm sitting here in the West Wing, coming up with strategic plans and how the best do things, but they're the ones out there getting it done for me. So I, you know, for the men and women, the border patrol men and women advice. I love every, each and every one of their patriots, man.
Steven Crowder
Well, and I appreciate that. But, you know, I know that they appreciate you as well because you were there. We were just talking about the difference. You've been on the ground obviously your whole life working as a law enforcement officer, working as a border patrol agent. That's very different from the previous administration. And the borders are. Kamala Harris, who had not even visited the border. I mean, she'd never been to Europe too, though. But one thing I think, look, I think you know that sometimes you get a rap as a, as a gruff, as a gruff gentleman. But I've watched all of your main and listened to all of your interviews in recent months, recent years. What I see is a theme of compassion, of someone who actually cares. The reason too. You've answered this and I want to give you the floor where you've answered, no, we're not just deporting violent criminals. They obviously are priority, but everyone is here illegally because of the incentive for cruelty that it creates at the border. I think people don't realize that the drug cartels are control every at least a fee. Can you tell folks here, they see immigrants, even illegal ones going, oh, they're just seeking a better life for everyone that they see who's made it, how many are trapped and sold into slavery or basically put under the thumb of the cartels. There's no one who comes through that border who doesn't get touched by them. Right.
Tom Holman
You can't cross that border out the cartels. If you do that, kill you. I mean, this is a big money supply for the cartel Cartelton. You know, people think that, you know, people just come to the country of a better life. It's just innocent illegal immigration. They don't understand this whole ugly underbelly of illegal immigration where, you know, there's been Nonpartisan studies that 31% of women who make that journey through the cartels get raped. 31% of women admitted it. So what is that number? Actually, it's gotta be higher than 31%.
Steven Crowder
Right?
Tom Holman
Look, under Joe Biden, what people need to say to Joe Biden, when he opened the board, people said, well, Joe Biden's policies were much more humane than President Trump's. Okay, really? So let's compare. Under Joe Biden, over 4,000 aliens died making that journey because he promised the whole world, you can come to the United States, you can cross the border legally, you'll be released within 24 hours. You'll get a free plane ride to the city of your choice. We'll put you in a hotel room free of charge. We'll give you three meals a day, we'll give you free medical detention, and we'll give you a work authorization within 920 days. Which is the real reason you came here. You're not escaping fear and persecution. Not really. Asylum seeker. So the most vulnerable people put themselves in the hands of criminal cartels to come to the greatest nation on Earth. Over 4,000 aliens died. Over a quarter million Americans died from fentanyl. Came across open border. Why is that? Because Joe Biden caused such a crisis on the border that up to 70%, on average, 70% of agents were no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making board, making baby formula, you know, making hospital runs, dealing with that humanitarian crisis. When you overwhelm the border patrol, where 70% of agents are no longer on their national security, that's when the cartels create gaps. That's when the fentanyl killed a quarter million Americans. That's when sex trafficking, women and children increased by 600%. That's when the people on terrorist watch list went from under Trump 45. We had a total of 14 and went over 400 under Joe Biden. So people need, people need to understand what you call innocent illegal immigration. It caused all these other bad things to happen. And over half a million children. Half a million children, it's actually 497,000 children were smuggling in the country of Joe Biden.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Tom Holman
They can't, you know, and they lost track of 300,000 of them.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Tom Holman
And so where are these children? Well, and I know based on my four decades doing this, some of these children are forced labor. We've already found some in forced labor. Some are in forced sex slavery. We've already found some in sex slavery. So we're out there, the Trump administration, out trying to find these kids, and many of them are going to be safe, they're going to be with families. Many of them are going to be enforced labor and forced sex trafficking as well. They're rescuing these families. People need to understand there's no such thing as innocent illegal immigration. It causes all these other bad things to happen.
Steven Crowder
Is that where the frustration comes, where, you know, you could get in a righteous way? Snippy. When the media tries to build you up as this bombastic prick who doesn't care, I've seen you respond to them. Are you thinking in the back of your mind, if only these people in media Knew the kind of disaster that's if they knew.
Tom Holman
If they knew and I knew. If they wore my shoes for the last, you know, I started abortion till 1984. If they wore my shoes the last 40 years. If they stood in the back of tractor trailer like I did, surrounded by 19 dead people who baked to death, including a five year old little boy who begged his father not to let him die, but that was the first child to die. When they standing back there and you smell it and you see it and you feel it when they talk to little girls like I have as young as 9 years old that's been raped multiple times by the members of the cartel. When you get down and talk to that little girl like I did and you see everything innocent and pure, everything innocent and pure within her has been stolen. And she has no faith in humanity anymore. Her life will never be the same. Wear my shoes for four decades and see the travesties I've seen. Go to Phoenix, Arizona and run operation Ice Storm. Where smuggling cartels are ripping each other off are the people they smuggled because they're worth a lot of money. And when Alien couldn't afford to pay the smuggling fees, they agreed to 10,000 doll smuggling fee. They call the relative up. Okay, we got your guy here now got your brother here. You owe us $20,000. They say, no, it's $10,000. Well, guess what? We're going to make it 20,000. If you don't pay it, we'll kill them. And they did. They would call relatives up and put them on the phone and listen to a relative get tortured and slowly killed because they pay the smuggling fees so I can go on and on and on, wear my shoes for 40 years. See what I've seen? You can understand my anger when you open up a border. When Joe Biden won the six months before the election, I wrote an op ed fo I said, if Joe Biden becomes president, we lose the border. And what does that mean? More children will die, more women will get raped, more aliens will die, more Americans will die, more public safety threats across the border, more fentanyl is going to get in the country. I call it because I've seen it for four decades. So when people say, well, you're angry, why are you so emotional? Because you don't know what I know. And if you and what people need to understand, secure border saves lives. Right now the numbers are down 96%. Matter of fact, I looked at the numbers about an hour ago. Under Joe Biden, we had up to 15,000 crossings on a day, in a single day. 15,000. You know what they were yesterday? 95. 95. So when illegal immigration is down 98%, when 98% less people are coming, how many children aren't dying, drowning in the river or dying in the desert? How many women and children aren't being sexually assaulted by the cartels? How many pounds of fentanyl isn't getting in because BOR patrol is 100% vigilant on the line and not dealing with humanitarian crisis? How many non inspectors aren't getting into the country? How many billions of dollars the cartels not making? So I've done this for a long time. So when people say, well, you seem angry, you seem emotional. You're damn right I am. Because secure border saves lives. And that's why I came back the second time out of retirement, took a huge pay cut because I'm pissed off every day for four years under Joe Biden because I knew what he did. This border is going to kill people, Americans and aliens alike. Yeah. So I came back in a vengeance. And I'm out there raising hell because secure borders saves lives. And Democrats still don't want to admit it.
Steven Crowder
Tom Holman. Hell yeah. Who would have thought that an interview with Borders are Tom Holman is what almost made me cry in my own show like a bitch. But it was. It's touching. I get it. And it's one of those things people don't know, they don't pay attention to it. Here's what I want to ask you though. Cuz some in the media don't know, right? They ask you these stupid questions, these loaded questions. But after a few months, former Vice President Joe Biden, he knew. After a few months, Kamala Harris knew. Right? So in other words, they know the sex trafficking, they know the power of the cartels. So short of sealing up the border and dealing with what you guys have been doing, the first administration now two times to have ever done this, most secure border of our lifetime. There's no way to solve it. They knew. The media may not. The administration knew. Why did they make it worse?
Tom Holman
That's a good point. People need to understand what Joe Biden did was not incompetence. It wasn't mismanagement, it was by design. They knew exactly what they were doing. Because when Joe Biden was vice president under Obama and Alejandro Mayorkas was deputy secretary under the Obama administration, we had a surge. I was here. I was third in command of the ice, we had a surge on the board. How do we Stop it. We built detention facilities, we ended getting. We held in long enough to see a judge. Took about 35 days. 90% of them lost their case. They simply don't qualify for asylum. We sent them home and the numbers went down. Now that Smyock is secretary and Joe Biden's president, what do they do? The complete opposite of what they know. Worked to secure the border. They weren't detaining them. They release them every day by the thousands. They weren't making them see a judge. And ICE wasn't allowed to arrest, remove anybody. In four years of historic illegal immigration, ICE had the lowest numbers of arrest and removals in the history of the agency. They knew exactly what they're doing. People say why? Why? Well, look, they obviously saw some political benefit opening border up. There's a couple of things I saw. Number one, what did Joe Biden do? In addition to writing over 90 executive orders abolishing everything we did census under the Trump administration that gave us the most secure border. You overturn the Trump census rule, which means millions of illegal aliens are released in sanctuary cities, we count the next census. What does that mean? Means more seats in house for the Dems. They sold this country out for future political power. Plus they think they're going to be future Democratic voters. Let me tell you what no one talks about. Why did they leave thousands of empty ice beds? Empty already, paid for by the taxpayer, about $127 a night. Instead they put them in a hotel room at $500 a night in the hands of an NGO. They're making billions of dollars. Why did they not detain them? Because they know what I know. If they're detained in an ICE facility, they get a hearing within 35 days, 90% lose, they go home. They don't want that. You put them in the non detained docket, don't detain them, put them in a hotel room. Now. The immigration court, the non detained docket is not a priority. Hearings are in three, five, seven years. If they use all their appeal process, right? Well, they're hoping in three, five, seven years they got a democratic administration that can ward amnesty to millions of people. That's why they're all pissed off right now. Because we're ruining their long term plan. They got a long term plan, long term strategy and they're pissed right now because we're removing a lot of people. We're ruining their plans for long term control of the United States government. That's your only reason? Because no one can tell me I've been up in the Hill a thousand times. I'll ask every Democrat answer a question they can't answer. What is the downside on a secure border? What's the downside on less drugs coming in? What's the downside? Less sex trafficking. What's the downside on less aliens dying? What's the downside? And less drugs coming in. What's the downside? And let cartels making billions of dollars less. What's the downside? There is no downside in a secure border. So it's obvious what they did. They opened it up for future political benefit.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, well, even before you get to the idea of deportations. Yeah, just a secure border. But obviously they didn't even want that. I mean, it must just drive you nuts when you see, for example, the fake photo op of AOC looking at the facility, screaming, crying. I bet you were probably thinking, man, if only you knew what actually goes on. And if you actually saw what happens with these coyotes, maybe you'd have some compassion.
Tom Holman
Well, look, you know, aoc, she's the least smart congressperson in history, United States Congress, and she just don't get it. I mean, bottom line is she's out there saying no. She's hating on me every day, which I kind of dig it because I get to live in mine rent free every day, and I kind of enjoy that. Yeah, what she's saying, she's out. So she's in New York City. What she called educating illegal aliens through constitutional rights. You don't have to open the door for eyes. You don't have to answer questions, whatever. But we know what she's doing. We're not stupid. Yeah, she's educating illegal aliens on how to evade ICE arrest. That's what she's doing. And what she don't understand is ICE is prioritizing public safety threats and national security threats. Who she's educating. She's educating child rapists. She's educating people who've committed armed robberies and committed rape and committed sexual assault. That's who she's educating. Matter of fact, we just, just recently did an operation in New York City and we failed to find law the targets because what she says she's educating the constitutional rights. No, she's telling them how to get around an ICE arrest. But what she's actually doing, I got a surprise for but what she's actually doing is teaching them how to be prosecuted. Because there is a violent 8, 8, United States Code 1253, which we just started pushing out to the field. It's a crime to Hinder your own removal after you've had due process, a great taxpayer expense, and a judge issues an order. Removal. You're not supposed to hinder your removal. You're supposed to be assisting your removal. So go ahead, don't open the door. What we're going to do, we'll cover the premises, we'll send an agent and get a warrant, we'll come back, we'll break the doorknob, we will arrest you, then we're going to prosecute you. Then when we're done prosecuting you, then we'll deport you. So what she's actually doing is teaching people how to be prosecuted.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. So at the end, she kind of is doing some good, Right? You can't hate on her that much. She's helping you out. And you're right, she is barely walking upright. She is not an intelligent woman. But do you think that maybe the left was surprised at the percentage of legal Hispanic, Latino, I'm not gonna say Latinx because it's ridiculous. But legal immigrants here who support deportations.
Tom Holman
I don't know if they're surprised. They didn't understand it. Look, these people went through years of trying to come to this country the right. And it's one thing no one talks about again right now. People want to support the illegal immigrants. You know, you see all these protests going on throughout the country. Oh, we don't want you arresting illegal aliens. Do they understand there are millions of people standing in line, taking their tests, paying their fees, doing their background investigations who want to be part of the greatest nation on earth, doing it the right way. They're all sitting in the back seat while millions of people came across the border and cheated the system. They'll call them asylum seekers. They were asylum seekers. Okay, you can call them asylum seekers because they're applying for asylum. But if you look at immigration court data over the last 10 years, here's what it says. 87% of those seeking asylum at our border end up with an order of removal because they simply don't qualify for asylum. They're not escaping fear and persecution from their home government because of race, religion, political affiliation. They're coming for a better life. And I get that, but that's not asylum. So I have millions of people came across the border making a fraudulent asylum claim, cheating the system. Yeah, the people are doing things right where they sit in the backseat. What about them? You know, and people are now saying, And I've done three interviews yesterday, well, the 3,000 arrests a day, that's a terrible Number. Can't believe Steve Miller put 3,000 a day. That's triple what you're doing now. And how are you going to do that? That's just an arbitrary never. 3000 a day. Here's what they need to consider. We would need to arrest over 7,000 a day for the next three and a half years just to get rid of the ones that Biden brought in.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Tom Holman
That's not even touching the 12 to 15 million that are already here. So 3,000 day is actually a doable number. We've increased teams and we've got a thousand rest teams down the country. We've got FBI, DEA, U.S. marshals, we got all these different agencies assisting ICE. Now. 3,000 days, a reasonable number. Absolutely reasonable number. And for those who say historic deportation operations, racist and cruel. No, it's not. We just had historic illegal immigration where 10.5 million people that we know of, 10.5 million people came to that border illegally. Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Well, I wanted to ask, you know.
Tom Holman
90%, based on immigration court data, 90% were on order removal. There has to be an historic deportation operation because. Because millions of them are going to be ordered deported. And if we don't execute the deportation orders, then what the hell are we doing? Shut down immigration court. It doesn't mean anything anymore. Take the Border Patrol off the border because there's no longer consequences for entering this country legally. There has to be a deportation operation of a huge, A huge scale because that's the way this country's built. That's what the law requires. Because if we don't, you send a message to the whole world. Come to our border. Cross illegally, it's a crime. Don't worry about it. Get order removed. Don't leave. Don't worry about it. No one's looking for you. You're never going to solve the crisis. More people will die, more women get raped and more violence will come on the border. More drugs come in. No, we have to enforce the laws to this country. We're nation laws. If we don't do it, we'll never win this.
Steven Crowder
Well, not only. You just touched on something important and I wanted to ask you about the 3,000 a day. But before that you said, tell the whole world. You've talked about this before. I think a lot of people don't realize this. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals just under Biden have crossed that border. And I can't imagine that the ccp, the Communist Chinese Party, their government is not aware of it. These people crossing the southern border, a lot of people Here in the United States think it's just people coming from Mexico looking to work in hospitality. To what level is that a problem?
Tom Holman
For example, since Joe Biden became president, he swore an Office People from 181 different countries across that border. That's almost every country in the world. We got over 60,000 Chinese nationals. And you're right, no way. 60,000 Chinese nationals, military age males leave China without the cooperation, the coordination with the Chinese government. It just ain't just not going to happen. We got thousands of Russians, thousands of people from Syria. Well, we got people from special interest countries by the thousands came to this country. And you got mayorkas telling, you know, staying on TV every day saying, well, we property vet all these people before we release them. No, we don't. Because we don't have criminal history from most countries in this world. You think El Salvador has an ncic? Most of these countries, we don't have their criminal history. We have property venom. And you and I both know most terrorists in this world aren't found in any database unless they are part of a T3 investigation undercover operation, unless they were encountered on a battlefield by DOD and a retina scan was done. We don't know who most terrorists are.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Tom Holman
And do you think China and Russia and Syria and Turkey, you think they're going to share with us any sort of national security information on their nationals? Of course you're not right. So this administration lied to American people. They lied to the border security. And it wasn't. They lied. They were properly vetted. They weren't. And that's why we have what we have today. And that's why President Trump has to do what we're doing right now. Look, prioritizing public safety threats and national security threats because they pose the biggest dangers to this nation.
Steven Crowder
Yes. And by the way, we're having a little bit of problem with your video. So I think we might, if we're just going to keep you on audio here because your screen went black. But I wanted to ask you as well about that 3,000 number. Seems to me like that's the goal, right? You said it's a very reasonable goal. 3,000 deportations per day. You're not there yet. I wanted to ask you what's the biggest impediment that ICE is facing right now from hitting these numbers? What do you think needs to be done to be able to hit that 3,000?
Tom Holman
Well, first of all, when they released, when the Biden administration released these aliens, they didn't, they didn't properly Screen them by where they're going, what address? Most of the address we're looking at don't even exist. You go to an address and able to go and gave the Biden administration. That's a parking lot, right? That's number one. Number two, sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are a problem. Right? So, you know, back in my day, one agent can arrest one bad guy in a county jail. In the safety and security of a county jail, that's safer for the alien, much safer for the officer, a hell of a lot safer for the community. Releasing public safety threats back in the public is just stupid. And that's what sanctuary cities do. They lock us out of the jails. Right?
Steven Crowder
Right.
Tom Holman
So when they let them out of the jail into the community, we gotta send a whole team now, not just one officer, a whole team for officer safety reasons to go find the alien on his turf where he has access to who knows what weapons. And we're looking for somebody that wanted to be found. So it's a lot less efficient. Sanctuary cities. Now we gotta send a whole team out, look for that one bad guy. We could arrest him. Jail and sanctuary cities are not cooperative. So what the president just said, I've been saying for the last two months, and the president just doubled down on it yesterday, we're going to flood the zone in sanctuary cities. If we can't arrest a bad guy in a jail, then we're going to find him in the community. So we're going to send a hell of a lot of agents in the community to arrest them in the community. And we're also, if we can't find them in the community, we'll find them at work sites. We're going to vastly expand worksite enforcement operations.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Tom Holman
So sanctuary cities, you think you're protecting these people, what you're actually doing, here's what you're going to get. You'll get more agents in your communities, more agents doing worksite enforcement operations in your community, and more collateral arrests. Because when we find that bad guy, and we will, many times they're with others, whether it's at this home or whether in the community or whether it's at a workplace, there's going to be other illegal aliens there that aren't a criminal threat, are not a criminal target. But guess what? They're in the country legally. We're not going to turn our back on them them. We're going to arrest them too. So you're going to get a lot hell more collateral arrest in those sanctuary cities. You can scream and yell all you want ISIS lying. They're not concentrating on public safety threats. Yes, we are. But you force us in the community to find these non criminal threats. We're not turning a blind eye to them. They're in the country illegally. ISIS is going to uphold the old tay tuck. They're going to enforce immigration law. So congratulations, you're going to get exactly what you don't want. And Sanctuary City is not. You may slow us down, put roadblocks up, but what we're going to do, we're going to flood the zone, we're going to send more agents to do the job we're going to do. You're not going to stop us from doing this job. You may slow us down, but with more resources, we'll pick the speed back up. You doubled down, we triple down.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, well I always used to talk about that when it used to be about DACA and dreamers, I would say, well look, we're not really talking about children because leftists don't want you to be able to deport illegal aliens in our prisons. So if we don't find common ground there, there's no sense in faking like we're finding common ground. And I just appreciate the candor because it's a very different approach from the last four years. And there's a very different tone though now you do have the mandate of the masses. Remember when Donald Trump, President Trump came down that escalator, he wasn't president then and he said, oh, your video just cleared up. He said, you know, they're not sending, he said they're not sending their best, they're not sending their best. And people said that's racist. I remember back thinking what's racist about that? He's talking about illegal aliens, not a race of people. He's talking about countries, these, we know that there are cartels now. Even see with Gen Z Hispanic males supporting stronger borders, there is a popular way for people realize that there's a problem. I did want to ask you about one thing. Seems like there's a little maybe confusion out there. If you can help clarify regarding ICE priorities and specifically I think he just answered it. But farms, hospitality businesses. Because of something that President Trump posted on Truth Moving forward, it sounds like no groups are going to be exempt from ICE raids, but you have priority on criminality.
Tom Holman
Absolutely. No one's exempt. No one's given the past, yeah, you can knowingly hire an illegal alien, don't worry about it. No, it's a violation of law. So it's like Work sites, same thing. We'll prioritize sanctuary cities. We'll prioritize first to those who are involved in sex trafficking or forced labor, those who are undercutting their U.S. competition. People need to understand this, and I mean this. No one hires an illegal alien on the goodness of their hire. They hire, work them harder, pay them less, and undercut the competition. Who has U.S. citizen employees. I'll tell the story. True story. I put a roof in my house a few years ago. I had to call six different companies before I got a company that guaranteed me a legal workforce, right? So this father and son showed up and they wanted to see if they can just do roof repair because they couldn't do a whole roof. And I said, no, the whole roof needs to be replaced. And his father told me, he goes, you know what? I had my own company, had 20 US citizen employees. I paid about 20 bucks an hour to get on the roof. But I couldn't win a bid because all these other companies were putting illegal aliens on the roof for like five, seven dollars an hour because I couldn't wait a bid. So I had to lay off every one of my US Citizen employees. And I mean, my son are just doing roof repairs, right? That happens a thousand times a day across this country. So, you know, so worksite enforce operations are going to continue. That's. That's a tenant. What we do, and like I said, in sanctuary cities is necessary. If we can't get the bad guy into jail, we'll get him at a work site, we'll get him in the community. So worksite enforcement operations are going to be tenfold increased this year. You're going to see it like you've never seen it before.
Steven Crowder
Well, that's good to hear. For that clarification, I know that you have to get going here. I wanted to ask you in closing, I really appreciate the time. If there's one thing that you think people get wrong about the illegal immigration issue, or one thing that you think people get wrong about Tom Holman, what is it you want people to know?
Tom Holman
I don't care what they think about me. I'm not running a popularity contest. I frankly don't give a shit what people think about me. Because if they wore my shoes for the last 40 years and seen what I've seen, the tragedies I've seen, and things I go to bed with every night and working with the best men and women in law enforcement, you know, these ICE agents, man, you know, they're not the devil. They're Not Nazis, not racist. They're mothers and fathers, too. They don't hang their heart on the hook. Every day they go to work. So, you know, I get tactile. I read a hit piece on me several times a day, and it doesn't bother me, doesn't affect me. Matter of fact, it actually throws gas on my fire because I get tired sometimes. And when I read a hit piece, I say, okay, I'm over. I'm over the target. I'm pissing people off, so keep going. So I take pleasure. So please, media, don't stop. Attack me all you want. It puts a lead in my pencil. So I'm looking forward to doing this job for the President. I think this President Trump is a. I've worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. And when it comes to border security, immigration enforcement, national security, no one's done it better than President Trump. And I'm proud to work from every day. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not shutting up. I'm going to do this job, so bring it.
Steven Crowder
Well, we're proud to have you working for us and proud to have you on the show. And next time you come on. You know, I was raised in Canada, so I'd love to talk about that border some Canuck bastards have to pay for leaving it. Quite porous. Mr. Czar, Tom Holman. We really appreciate taking the time, brother. Thank you very much.
Tom Holman
Let's go have Labatt's Blue. I grew up on the northern border, too. I still have a home up there, so let's get together and. And Sheryl Abatts, and we'll move on from there. There you go.
Steven Crowder
You know it's authentic because they didn't say Molson Canadian, which we don't really drink in. In Canada. We drink Molson Export. It's all silly. Mr. Hoban, thank you so much, brother. Be well.
Tom Holman
You got it. Thank you, sir.
Steven Crowder
Time open, everybody. There you go. He knew lebette's. He knew about blue. That's how they say it in French. Canada. Labet bleu. What's labat bleu? But in English, like how you say le bat bleu, you're like, why are you picking it more complicated. It's not that far off of blue.
Tom Holman
Blue.
Steven Crowder
It's not blue.
Gerald Morgan
You said it.
Steven Crowder
You know how French Canadians do impersonations of Americans? Like, they would be speaking French. And you know how, like, if you were to. Like, if you were to just fake French, fake French. There you go. Okay.
Tom Holman
Perfect.
Steven Crowder
Exactly. And you're saying gibberish. So a lot of people don't realize what French do when they're impersonating English people. In my neighborhood, they would go, bracken, Brooke, Braille. That's how they think we sound. Bracken, Brooke and Johnny Boy Brails, Ben. Like a lot of B's and R's and K's.
Gerald Morgan
What a batch of babbling baboons.
Steven Crowder
This makes no sense whatsoever. By the way, you can follow him at Real Tom Holman on X. I meant to say that, but it almost seems like at that point it's Tom Holman.
Dave Landau
Yeah, yeah.
Steven Crowder
You need like, if he would have been like silly back. Why don't you tell them where to follow me on next. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'll do whatever you want.
