Takes less than five seconds to help Un unk me. Do it for clay, do it for freedom and get great content while you're there. The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. YouTube CH Channel. Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off now. We were talking last hour a bit about some of the big things Trump is discussing or was discussing in the Oval Office. I want to bring you some of those highlights. We've got stuff about restricting foreign foreigners from going to US Colleges and universities. We've got the foreign nationals from high risk countries that are banned, travel ban, if you will. At least they're not calling a Muslim ban this time because Cuba and Venezuela not necessarily thought of as, you know, the Islamic world. I mean, some of the countries that are on there, clearly it's not that. I remember the first Trump administration, they're all saying it's a Muslim ban. So then they had to add like North Korea onto it. They said, look, these are just countries that are messed up. It wasn't Trump's fault. There are a lot of messed up countries that are Muslim majority. And then there's also some stuff on the call with Xi and, and Trump's relationship with Elon, it's hit, it's, it's just hitting a little bit of a speed bump. You could say the, the self driving of the Trump Elon relationship is having a couple of bugs in the system. We'll talk about this. It is not a surprise to me that this is where things are right now. But I, I, you know, I'm just going to say this. When Trump and Elon, when I see there's a little static with Trump and Elon, it's like watching my parents fight. I'm like, no, you guys are the good guys. No fighting. It'll be, it'll be fine. It'll be fine. But my parents like never fought, so that was very nice. But you know, you know what I'm saying. Let's see here we have, I saw other people's parents fight. So I'd be like, ooh, that's not fun. Let's do first the Trump call with Elon, this is, this is a big deal because all the tariff stuff with all these other countries, we all know that can get negotiated. I think we're quite clear that EU stuff, Canada stuff, Canada. You know, we love Canada. You know, Trump gives you some. Trump gives you a hard time a little bit, but, you know, we love you, Canada. China's a problem. That's a different. That's a different thing, right? China is a, is a, an issue for the United States and is doing bad things, particularly on trade and taking a lot of our trade secrets and exploiting, I think, the good faith of the American capitalist mindset and system. And so we gotta take a different approach with them here. This was Trump just now in the Oval Office. He had a chat with President Xi Jinping of China, and here is what he had to say about it. Play 25.
- [03:16]
Donald Trump
We had a very good talk, and we've straightened out any complexity, and it's very complex stuff, and we straighten it out. The agreement, the argument was we're going to have Scott and Howard and Jamison will be going and meeting with their top people and continue it forward. But no, I think we have everything. I think we're in very good shape with China and the trade deal. We have a deal with China, as you know, but we were straightening out some of the points having to do mostly with rare earth magnets and some other things.
- [03:53]
Clay Travis
Those reduced trade tariff rates, they remain in effect.
- [03:57]
Donald Trump
We have the deal. I mean, we've had a deal. We announced the deal, and we'll be, I guess you could say, I wouldn't even say finalizing it up, Scott. I would say we have a deal and we're going to just make sure that everybody understands what the deal is.
- [04:11]
Clay Travis
We have a deal. And he wants to get more clarity on the deal. You know, what's one big difference between this Trump administration that you're already seeing and the Biden administration? Stuff actually happens with this Trump administration. There are things in motion that are to the benefit of the American people. Think about so much of what was going on with Biden. What was the Biden. What was Biden's trade policy? What was Biden's China policy? Biden didn't know. That much is clear. So if the guy who is named for the policy isn't even aware of the policy, and we all understand why, it's pretty clear that there would have been some gaps. You could say there would have been some shortcomings in Biden China trade relations and dealing with them on the economy. I mean, I'm sure. Think about this. If you were Putin and, well, you can't be Putin and Xi Jinping, I mean, that would be interesting, right? But if you were Vladimir Putin. This is one of the problems I have now when I do radio. Is that gingerbread? The baby? Ginger's very good with the baby, so that's good news. But Ginger is more attention starved than she's ever been. So now she used to always leave me alone during radio. Now she runs over to me and because she has free reign of the house, of course, because she's spoiled and she drops her fetch ball at my feet during radio. So if it ever sounds like I'm like, wait, what's going on? It's because the dog. And she, she holds me hostage because if I don't play fetch, at least in the commercial breaks, then she starts to whine and you'll hear all across the country, they'll hear my little Australian labradoodle whining. But you know, such, such is, and it's, I'm telling you, because the little baby gets so much attention. She's more than ever now. She's more, more, more, and she makes these little noises and stuff. Anyway, she loves the baby, though. She's very sweet to the baby. So at least I'm very grateful for that. All right, so Trump and, and Xi Jinping are squared off against each other on this trade issue. And let's just take a moment to recognize if you were Xi Jinping or you were Vladimir Putin or really any world leader, because we all operate, you and I operate in the real world, which is other countries, whether it's China or France or the UK or Guatemala, other countries want to get the best they can for their people when they interact with us. And you know what? That's fine. That's how we would expect it to be. This is why Trump's America first, the notion of a government representing the American people that privileges and prioritizes the interests of the American people over non Americans should be the basic approach of any administration. But actually, Trump, it's revolutionary because we've gone through so many iterations of, well, what do the Europeans think? Well, what are the, you know, what is like the Human Rights Council or the Hague or whatever the un what do they think about this? I don't care. I frankly don't care what the UN thinks about anything. So if you were, though, picking who to sit across the table from you as an adversary, which means, and I mean that by any country that's trying to get more from us. Could you have done better than Joe Biden or Anthony Blinken? Anthony Blinken. Really think about the people who were. We're going to talk more about Karine Jean Pierre later. I know she was just a spokesperson really, but think about those who were supposed to be making the key decisions around Biden. You wouldn't want any of these people to work for you at your company. You wouldn't want any of them as colleagues. They're not dependable, they're not wise, they're not, they're not impressive. That stuff matters. It matters with world. You know, either either who the President is makes a difference in foreign policy or it doesn't. And if it does make a difference, clearly we were at a huge disadvantage with Biden as the President of the United States. And we are seeing something very different now with Trump. We're seeing something that we should have had all along, which is somebody who can actually process, negotiate, has a strategy, understands the interpersonal dynamics of power. Biden's just a graft machine. Biden's an imbecile. And I said it all along. You knew it. I knew it. All right. Now on the restricting foreign nationals from these high risk countries. Trump spoke about this as well in the Oval with the Chancellor, not the President, Prime Minister, the Chancellor of Germany. 26, play it please on your new travel ban. Why now?
- [09:05]
Ron Vitiello
And if the Boulder attack was part of your reasoning, why not include Egypt.
- [09:08]
Clay Travis
On that list where the suspect is from?
- [09:10]
Donald Trump
Well, because Egypt has been a country that we deal with very closely. They have things under control. The countries that we have don't have things under control. And why now? I can say that it can't come soon enough, frankly. We want to keep bad people out of our country. The Biden administration allowed some horrendous people and we're getting them out one by one and we're not stopping until we get them out. We have thousands of murderers. I hate to, I even hate to say this in front of the Chancellor because you have a little problem too with some of the people that were allowed. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It shouldn't have happened. I told her it shouldn't have happened. What she did.
- [09:51]
Clay Travis
Her meaning, Angela, Anglo was like Donald. But we have to take all of the third world from the world torn, the war torn countries into America, I'm sorry, into Germany, but into Germany. Deutschland, not good. Not good, Angela. Not helping anybody out and, well, helping I guess the people that are now exploiting their access to German welfare and the German system. Isn't it also remarkable how many of these people come to countries, whether it's in Europe or it's in America and they, and they have complaints, they want to complain and we're never allowed to look at them and say, why does your country suck so much? I'm just wondering like as you know. Oh well, I'm not just talking about countries that have a war, but it's also worth noting, why are these countries that having civil wars or having these problems? Usually it's sectarian hatreds. So they hate the people that live within their country, never mind how they're going to get along with all the rest of us. But yeah, we never get to ask that question. I just think that there should be. Again, this is one of the reasons, and I say this, and it's not just because I love getting high fives from my South Florida Latinos and Latinas who listen to this show, but it's really true. My South Florida Latinos and Latinas or a lot of them, Cuban Americans, Venezuelan Americans, they freaking love this place and they appreciate it. And they're also voting Republican as. And they have for a lot Cubans have for a long time. And more and more Venezuelans are. They appreciate this place. They come here and they say, wow, America is awesome. The communist hellhole I left is a warning to the rest of the world. This is why they're so great. When you get these people who show up from some other country, they come in illegally, they're being told by the ngo, you know, America did your people wrong and you know, you should get all of the welfare you want and you should. That's not good. That's not good. Anybody who comes to this country should be thrilled to be in this country and should be working on their American ness from day to day one. And we see what happens in Europe when that's not the case. And when I say working on their Americanness, you know, becoming productive, law abiding English speaking members of their community, their society and all of that. And that's. That should be the expectation in Europe. It was like self hatred on display. I'll never forget I was talking to the equivalent of the Swedish, kind of like the Swedish FBI. I forget what they. Baduga dooga dooga. Uh, I was there years ago at the CIA and we're helping them with some terrorism issues. Oh, why did Sweden have terrorism issues? Any anyone want to guess? Anyone want to take a stab at that one? You know, was Sven Olaf all of a Sudden, so upset about the state benefits for his free health care or whatever, you know, he's like, no, no. They brought in a bunch of Middle Eastern Muslims from war torn countries who, guess what, hate the west and hate Europe and started doing really bad things, started going back and forth also between the country that they say they had to flee for their lives and the country that had taken them in. They arrive in many cases in these countries and they think that we are suckers, they are taking us for a ride. And you see this with some of the imams, for example, who have been very much on the radar of MI5 in the UK, which is their domestic intelligence service, and trying to expel some of the, Some of them are so bad, we're like, look, you got to go back to wherever you came from. That's actually happened in Europe in some cases. But in Sweden, I remember talking to them, I said, you guys have brought in a million Middle Eastern refugees. What do you think is going to happen with this? And they, because these weren't politicians, these are people that were dealing with the counterterrorism side. Like, we have a big problem. We have a big challenge. And he didn't just mean stopping terrorism attacks. He meant they move into neighborhoods outside of some of the major cities. They don't, they don't want to learn the language, they don't want to adopt the culture. They want to set up Sharia courts. They want it their own way. And they want to be able to advocate for the slow but certain overthrow of the culture and the rule of law and the nation that they have come to imagine that, you know, it's like, it's like I said before, these, when you're talking about people that are coming from these countries and, you know, we saw this with the Boulder attack. This guy comes here, he says he wants asylum. He's got a wife and children. They're here now. And he goes and he lights Jews on fire. He creates a flamethrower and molots off cocktails. He's trying to light Jewish people, Jewish Americans on fire. Fire. Instead of thinking about how lucky and grateful he is to be in America, that's what he does. This is, this is, as I was saying, somebody running up to you says, I'm, I'm. There's. There's a tornado coming. Please take me into your house or else I'm going to die. And you, out of the kindness of your heart, say, yes, sure, here, come into my cellar with me and my family. And then as the tornado passes they look at you and they go, it's my house. Now that's happening. That has happened, and it is time. We woke up to this and said, enough. No more of that. Thank you very much. I'm glad to see the Trump administration recognizes that we don't have to take people in from countries or we cannot trust that they will be safe, that they will be contributing.

Ron Vitello, U.S. customs and Border Protection senior advisor. I want to dig into some of the details, but let me just say this. I mentioned the Boulder, Colorado terrorist. This anti Jewish, anti Semitic lunatic lighting people on fire. This is a headline. I actually was. I was hoping, or rather I was making sure it wasn't AI. This is the headline from USA Today from a couple days ago. Boulder suspect's daughter dreamed of studying medicine. Now she faces deportation, she's illegal, and what do you. We're supposed to. They're doing sympathy stories for the terrorist family. This guy lit a holocaust survivor, as you know, in her, in her like 80s on fire. And we're worried about this guy's family having to go back to the countries they're legally supposed to be in or the country. There's. I mean, I've read this headline a few times. Really. The Boulder suspect's daughter dreamed of studying medicine. Oh, boo hoo. That's who. But that's who they're concerned about, you know. You know, it's like the big concern that I remember. Norm MacDonald, he said, imagine if the jihadists hit us with nuclear weapons and kill tens of millions of Americans. Think about all the Islamophobia that would be out there. All right.

We're talking to Ron Vitello, U.S. customs and Border Protection senior advisor. Ron, thanks for making the time for us. Let's just start with this. How is it that Trump is able to secure the southern border almost at a 100% level? I mean it's in the 90 something percent drop so quickly. How'd he do it?
- [19:44]
Ron Vitiello
Leadership matters. He's got a good team in place with the likes of Secretary Noem. And there are now consequences unlike anything I've ever seen on the southwest border. So that rhetoric that says we're going to do this, the American people gave him that mandate. Action by the front line, you know, directed by the leadership and actual consequences to the event of crossing the border illegally are now in place in a way, like I've said, like, you know, I've been in and out of this business for 40 years and I've never seen anything like it. It was so rapid, the change at the southwest border. It, it even surprised me.
- [20:23]
Clay Travis
But so I think this would be really interesting, Ron, if I, if I could just ask you, because I had seen, unfortunately in the battle days of the wide open border, what happens. People would, would walk up to border patrol. I mean, they would walk across where there wasn't a wall or there wasn't barrier, which there's a lot of places where that's still the case. They'd walk up and they would wave border patrol down. They would say, here I am. And sometimes through a translator, or sometimes they would say it in English, some version of I have a credible fear of violence in my country. And they will be processed and led into America, sometimes with a, like a ticket to appear or turn and show up somewhere in the system later on. I mean, the whole thing was just a joke. What happens now if you show up and you just want to come into America illegally?
- [21:09]
Ron Vitiello
Well, it's a high likelihood that when you're arrested, even if you gave up or if you were trying to evade, there's a lot of that still going on. You're taken into custody like before, you're put into the system like before, and then you're referred for prosecution. The acceptance rate from the U.S. attorney's office all across the southwest border and the northern border in some places as well is over 90%. And so I'll just give you an example of what that means. When I was a second line supervisor in Nogales, Arizona, we could not present a smuggling case, a criminal felony smuggling case, to the U.S. attorney's office unless there were 15 smuggled aliens in the vehicle that we were trying to prosecute the smuggler for driving. Right now they're taking first time entrants who enter the border illegally as a case. It's dramatically different than it's ever been. And so the high likelihood is that after you're processed and put into the system, you're going to be referred and then accepted for prosecution and you'll have to see a judge for the crime committed crossing the border illegally. When that process is over and those individuals are sentenced, regardless of what country they're from, they're sent back very rapidly. The average time in custody for folks that are in ICE detention is very, very low, lower than it's been in a long time. And so people are being removed from the US all over the world in very short order.
- [22:37]
Clay Travis
And also I'm seeing a lot of confusion, Ron, from some parts of the Media, maybe confusion, surprise, astonishment, that there's such a drop in fentanyl at the border that's crossing. What's going on there? Because I think, I think our audience, I think everybody right now, they listen, they go, oh, I think I know what's going on.
- [23:00]
Ron Vitiello
Yeah, of course they know that this has been a problem for many, many years. The president engaged worldwide, specifically in Canada and Mexico, the threat of terrorists, tariffs, just to make sure that they weren't allowing precursors to come into the country from China and that they had to do more on the border, on the physical border, to protect that border. And so both of those countries engaged, again, in ways I've never seen. Right. 10,000 troops from the Mexican National Guard deployed on their northern border, our southern border. Canada has done more to protect their physical border than I've ever seen. Helicopters, night vision equipment, dedicated patrols from state, local, provincial, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. And so everybody is doing their part to help protect those borders and the sovereignty of each of their countries, thereby giving us a better chance at the physical border to find this stuff. And then the cartels know that it's just not a walk in the park as it was for the four years of the Biden administration.
- [24:10]
Clay Travis
That's. That's remarkable. Just to make sure that everyone is clear on this one, what you're telling me is that on tariffs alone, there has been a big victory for the border. So the tool of tariff negotiations to get US Border security, that's already a win, is what I'm gathering from what you're saying, especially with, you know, or rather with Mexico and Canada, 100%.
- [24:33]
Ron Vitiello
There is no question that Canada and Mexico are doing more than they have ever done in the history of the relationships of these three countries than they are doing right now, today. And recognize, you know, Canada put together legislation to spend millions of dollars on their border to help us to help identify the threats that are there. They now have a fentanyl czar, which they didn't have before. January 20, 2025, 10,000 troops on the Mexican border. And you'll remember the rhetoric when Trump got elected. Claudia Sheinbaum, the president in Mexico, all due respect, she was saying terrible things about how she wasn't going to work. She wasn't going to do the bidding of the United States or this president. She deployed 10,000 troops. No one has ever done that before her or since. And so that has led to a huge reduction in illegal activity across the southwest border, including fentanyl precursors into their country. And then fentanyl across our border.
- [25:31]
Clay Travis
We're talking to Ron Vitiello, U.S. customs and Border Protection senior adviser for this administration. Ron, let's talk about big beautiful wall. Major promise from Trump in the first term. He has returned to this issue now in his second term. I know that one of the ways that Stephen Miller and others are really trying to get people focused in on the need to pass this big beautiful bill is saying that there's ample funding for Border Patrol, including for wall barrier, actually securing it. What can you tell us about that and the status of the wall right now? How long would it take if we had the funding to get a lot more of it in place? Let's do a little wall deep dive.
- [26:12]
Ron Vitiello
Well, to get the requirement that's identified by the Border Patrol, supported by the president. Right. He, he built a lot of wall in the first term. Trump won. And we expect to build a lot more in Trump 2. And so what we're doing now, with the help of the Department of defense, we have 10,000 of our own troops on the southwest border helping the Border Patrol side by side. Part of what they're doing is giving agents better access to the border, fortifying the wall and increasing the infrastructure that prevents people from entering at the border. About 100 new miles of barrier placed either by DOD or by the Border Patrol itself with the existing contracting and the funding left over from Trump won. So Biden comes in, he puts a moratorium on all border construction. And so it froze the activity for a while. And now we're in the, we have the ability for the next year or so to spend the little money that's left from Trump 1 on wall, and that's equated so far to about 100 miles. And then there'll be new wall constructed using the funds from Trump 1. And then we're hopeful that when the reconciliation passes, there will be a huge investment in infrastructure, including wall and tech that supports the wall and the agents on the ground access to the border to give us about another hundred, about another 700 miles. Some of that will be dual barrier. We'll have some stuff in the river and on land in places like Texas where the, where the river is actually the border. And in other places, we'll fortify what exists and increase wall to about 700 new miles under Trump, too.
- [27:55]
Clay Travis
Is there a sense, and I know from just law enforcement's sources down along the border, border Patrol sources and the various collection platforms that we have, is there a sense from the, the narco terrorist cartels on the other side of the border that, oh, there's definitely a new Sheriff in town, 100%.
- [28:15]
Ron Vitiello
You know, there's pressure from the Mexican government, which is as effective as it can be given the circumstances. The military to military relationship is producing results, including us helping target known cartel members both sides of the border. And it's just really hard now to cross the border versus the way it was before January 20th in 2025. And so they are not being as successful. We're watching the reaction from the cartels. We had a really good intercept in Laredo yesterday of unmanned aerial systems, small drones, if you will. Caught one of those yesterday.
- [28:56]
Clay Travis
Wait, so they're using drones to try to drop off product drugs?
- [29:01]
Ron Vitiello
We believe this one was counter surveillance.
- [29:04]
Clay Travis
Ah, okay.
- [29:04]
Ron Vitiello
But it remains to be seen. We're going to try to exploit that, the media that's in there to figure out exactly what it was.
- [29:10]
Clay Travis
But, but. So they're using drones to watch you guys or your guys at border patrol, correct?
- [29:15]
Ron Vitiello
Correct. That's. That's. They're using them mostly for that, but they're. It's not unheard of for them to bring small packages. I mean, fentanyl, you know, the profit margin on fentanyl is huge in Mexico, and so they use it for those things as well. But again, giving agents time and ability, this was something that wouldn't have happened seven months ago because they were too distracted with the massive humanity that was coming into the border every 24 hours. Now we have the ability when those sensors go off and when we can deploy against those active threats. They did, in fact, seize a drone in Laredo yesterday, and that's what the cartel is capable of. And so we'll see more of that. You know, there was a seizure in San Diego of about 7,000 pounds of methamphetamine in California, which, you know, we haven't seen a seizure in that size in probably over. And it was because the agents on the ground, the front line, has the time and ability to do the work, you know, using the shoe leather, using their brains, using the intelligence holdings that exist in the United States to track that £7,000. We probably would not have gotten that pre Trump because we're just too busy with the illegal activity that was coming across the border. So, yeah, the cartels have reacted. We're seeing increases on the coast near San Diego. We expect that to be the case near Brownsville as well. The subterranean threat has now been magnified in the sense that the land border is much harder to cross. And so all the alternative routes of entry are going to start to be used and exploited. And so we need to be vigilant. That's why we need to backstop what the front line can do with policy and rhetoric and consequences, with more resources, as in wall, as in infrastructure, as in boots on the ground. That all has to be fortified and sustained if we want to keep the promise of making America safe again.
- [31:15]
Clay Travis
Wondering if you could just speak to the morale of the men and women of Border Patrol now and what it feels like to have the mission and resources squared away like they have been so far in this administration.
- [31:31]
Ron Vitiello
Yeah, no, the morale is very high. Lots of smiles on the faces of the men and women who now have the tools and the support that they require to be successful. You know, agents are recruited because they are interested in a career that is mostly outdoors, that mostly protects the country, that mostly is involved in activity designed to protect us all. And they weren't able to do that for the last, for the, for the last administration, for the entirety of the Biden administration, they are back in business. The nonsense is over. They have support all the way to the Oval Office. You have the Secretary Noem out there visiting face to face with the front line, asking them what they need, ensuring they have those tools and watching them be successful. And it's not just the incumbent agents, but, but it's also recruitment is off the charts, doubled since, you know, before Trump. And so, yeah, it's all going in that right direction as it relates to them being successful, which is why most of them are there. That's why they take the oath, because they want to protect us all. And now they have an opportunity to succeed as well.

Clay Travis
Ron Vittello, advisor to cbp. Thanks for the good work, sir. Appreciate you being here.
- [32:44]
Ron Vitiello
Thanks for inviting me.

If you consider yourself pro life like I am, here's a wake up call. Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade a few years ago, the number of abortions increased this past year. It's a tragedy. That means the lives of more than a million babies were lost last year to abortion. And there's no way this is going to just stop on its own. We have to step up. We, the pro life community, have to give women the support, the love and the clarity that they need for life. And that's where preborn comes in. Preborn's clinics are located in areas around the country with the highest abortion rates. And they do this on purpose. They're a frontline organization, saving the lives of tiny babies in the womb day in and day out. Just imagine I was at a preborn clinic here in Miami and I got to meet a little three year old girl and she was there because her mom, who's now very involved with preborn and appreciates preborn, went to one of those clinics three years ago and had an ultrasound and that mom saw the little heartbeat, saw the little baby in her womb and realized this is a beautiful, precious life and I'm going to bring this life into the world. And now I got to see this beautiful little three year old girl running around her mom full of smiles and also helping more and more moms to be just like her make the decision for life. This is what preborn does. They rely on your donations. They rely on you. They get no government money. Yes, we have to vote for pro life. We also have to take action to save lives. With pro life organizations like Preborn, a gift of $28 would be enough for an entire ultrasound process to be given to one of these moms. To be and to donate, all you have to do is dial £250 and say the keyword baby. That's £250. Say baby. A couple of you out there had a great year so far this year you've made a lot of money, your business is doing really well. Trump economy's kicked in. You can afford, it's tax deductible, by the way, but you could afford $1,000 donation right now to preborn. I know there are a few of you who can. Right now you're listening to this thousand dollars. I can't even do the math for how many babies that would save. Off the top of my head, about 30. Yeah, think about that. Dial £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £2 5 0. Say the keyword baby. $28. A thousand dollars. Whatever you can, whatever you can donate to this organization. Most of you, $28. That's blessed. That's incredible. Few you you're fortunate enough right now you can step up. Dial £250. Say the keyword baby. Sponsored by preborn. All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. Let's take a call here from Lonnie in Greensboro, North Carolina. What's going on, Lonnie?

Hey, I'd just like to make a comment about the Democrats who are condemning the ICE agents for wearing a mask. They are coming right out and saying that's because they're ashamed of what they're doing. They're trying to hide their names because of the, the horrors that they are creating by arresting the illegals the truth is they are now the front line against the cartel in our country. Everywhere in the world where the cartel has been battled, the police officers have to cover their faces. And that's what we have right now in America. What happens is the cartels offer the plata or plumo, the silver or lead. And they are, they go after the politicians, the journalists and the law enforcement. We've seen them now compromising different judges, and now we're seeing them attacking the police by doxing them and putting their families out there. They are no different than Hamas. They are all in this together and they are in the US and it's the ICE agents that are on the front line. And for people like Hakeem Jeffries to insinuate these people are ashamed of what they're doing and are hiding from the American public when they're the ones protecting us, we need to be aggressively coming after.
