Welcome to Vince. Hey, the left pro illegal alien craziness continues. They would like to set murderers free. What's going on in Newark, New Jersey? More lawmakers need to be arrested. By the way. We've got to send a clear message to these idiots that this kind of lawlessness just can't be abided. I'll be talking coming up with Tricia McLaughlin. She is a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security. And I'm going to ask her straight up, will there be more arrests of these Democrats? Stay tuned for, for that. Also speaking of Democrats and migration into the United States, did you see that there is one group of foreign nationals that absolutely can't come into the United States? White people. Yep. It's as simple as that. All ahead on Vince. We'll talk about the details today. Crazy day as always, great to have you with us. Gotta thank the sponsors today. This July there's a global summit of BRICS nations going on in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The block of emerging superpowers includes China, Russia, Russia, India, Iran. They're all meeting with a goal of displacing the US Dollar as the global currency. They are calling this the Rio Reset. Now as BRICS nations push forward with these plans, global demand for US Dollars could actually decrease and that would bring down the value of the dollars in your savings. While this transition won't happen overnight, the so called Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives could move decisively from theoretical possibility toward reality. Learn that diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group can help you move your hard earned savings into a tax sheltered IRA and Precious metals.

The left once again exposing themselves for the cruel bigots that they are. It's really, really disgraceful. What's going on? Um, hey, thanks to everybody who watched the Ed Martin interview yesterday. The interim U.S. attorney for Washington D.C. got a lot of really good reviews on the Ed Martin interview. People liked hearing from Ed and if, if what I'm hearing serves correctly. You want to hear more from him? Do you want to hear more from Ed Martin? Would you like regular updates from the director of the Weaponization Task Force at The Justice Department. Yes or no? Are you into that? Are you into that? Because if you're into that, then I'm into that and we'll keep doing it. I think that'd be great. I think it'd be nice to have Ed Martin show up with some more frequency. Yes, please. More Ed Martin. Yes on Ed. Yes. More Ed. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, Mr. Ed will come back. Ed Martin, great conversation with him. He did post about our conversation. He posted on social media. Yeah, look at that, the chat going wild for Ed. I loved Ed yesterday. Ed Martin himself all of a sudden has become very active on X, if anybody's been following his U.S. attorney account. But he did post yesterday. Late in the evening, my phone was blowing up. It was just Ed Martin retweets over and over and over. Thanks for having me on, Vince. In my new role as the Weaponization Czar and the DOJ pardon attorney, I intend to expose the bad actors and bring healing to their victims, which is great. Bad actors exposing bad actors and bringing healing to their victims. That would be really nice, wouldn't it? And bringing healing means bringing consequences. So for those of you who are like me, it's one thing to get these kinds of verbal updates, which is what we want. We want transparency. This is what Ed is promising. I'm gonna be the transparency guy, bring all of this out. But we need consequences. We need prosecutions. And I am praying, I am praying and I'm urging and I'm brow beating to the extent that that's necessary, our government into making sure that that actually happens. So you and I are on the same team on this. We want consequences. We want the FO portion of fafo. Ed Martin there to deliver. Also neat to hear him talk about working with Dan Bongino as they're going after the January 6th pipe bomber case. Have you noticed how quiet Dan has had to be? Dan is kind of offering some of these sort of general encouragements that they're working on things, but he keeps saying, look, you're just only going to trust the action here. I can tell you to tell him blue in the face about what we're doing. I can try and give you words of encouragement, but you know what? You either trust me or you don't. We're gonna show you with action. So I believe these guys. I'm here to tell you I believe these guys. Yeah, there you go, Worm. Nerd says, I'm with you, Vince. Enough talk. We wanna see arrests. Me too. Me too. Because we have a situation here where these Democrats are breaking the law and have gone for many years in this hierarchy system where they don't face consequences. It's not hypocrisy, as you know, it's hierarchy. They're just in a different cast. They get to do things that the rest of us don't. At least that's been the way it's been going on in the country. But now what you're seeing is multiple judges have been placed under arrest for violating immigration law, for aiding and abetting illegal aliens, trafficking them in the United States. We're watching as elected officials like the mayor of Newark, New Jersey was just arrested for blockading federal law enforcement, trespassing on federal property and possibly, and this is what I asked Trisha McLaughlin coming up from DHS, possibly a couple of these Democrat members of Congress, cuz I don't know. You saw the video, right? You watched it yesterday. I played it here on the program. I watched it and I'm sitting there going, they're assaulting this federal law enforcement. They're shoving these guys around, they're hitting them, they're striking them. And yeah, these guys are tough and some weak chick is hitting them. And you know, under normal circumstances if you have some lady whacking on you, just like, okay, all right, enough lady. And you shove them off and you go about your day. Try not to escalate too much. But there's no question if this was a conservative woman striking a federal law enforcement official on January 6, shoving a cop, you know what happens to that lady? She gets thrown in jail for years. She gets the book thrown at her. So there's no reason that these Democrats should be above the law. How many of these lectures have we gotten from them about nobody is above the law? Nobody is above the law. All right, damn straight you are not above the law either then. That's the standard here and it should be so put some cuffs on these guys. I'll ask Trisha McLaughlin about this coming up. What's going on with these Democrats? Cuz they did, they struck those federal officers. Now the chaos outside of that Newark detention center continued, it did continue yesterday as you got a bunch of these crazy people, these fake religious leaders. They have to be fake. This can't be real. There's priestesses and all sorts of people dressed up in ridiculous clothing locking arms and blocking immigration enforcement, blocking this detention center in Newark. Take a look here. We'll start with cut one. Here's the left's pro illegal alien insurrection.
- [07:11]
Tricia McLaughlin
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- [07:18]
Dan Bongino
Side are you on my people, which side?
- [07:22]
Vince
They're singing these songs. Look at this. Where they get those outfits of spirit. Halloween, where that come from as a priestess. And they're blocking traffic. Look at that snowflake that gets shoved. Oh, no, that wasn't a hard shove. Get out of the way, psycho. They were doing all sorts of stuff. They were blocking ambulances from getting in and out of these buildings, which, of course, if an ambulance needs to get in and out of a building, usually it's because somebody is in distress. So these people are not advocating for the people in need. They're just doing this narcissistic act of nonsense, standing out there, acting as if I love. In their minds, they play. Act like they're stopping the Nazis or something, that this is the moment they're stopping Hitler. And meanwhile, what they're advocating for. As you know, inside of that detention center, the overwhelming majority of the people who are being held there in Newark are convicted criminals, convicted of things like murder and rape. And they're now being deported from the United States of America. This is just a stop along the way. And so you get a bunch of lefty hippies standing out there going, release these guys. Release them. I love them. In fact, speaking of the goofiness of this love expression, check out this woman. It is apparently a busload of illegal aliens, and she's holding up a sign for them, telling them how much she loves them, how much she loves them. This is how preposterous things are getting. Take a look at this. Here we go. Look at her. She's humming, blowing kisses. What is she doing? What was that hand gesture? She has a sign up that says love with a heart on it. And they're still blocking the fence. They're blocking federal law enforcement. So this is a crazy woman who's out there raising up a little sign that she got at home goods or whatever, and it says love on it. And she's holding it up to the window, holding, I love you. I love you. You know what? It's probably better that those doors stay locked for your sake. It's probably better that these guys aren't getting out of that van. Murderers and rapists. I love you. She's expressing. This is crazy. How much Whoopi Goldberg do you need to consume to come to that conclusion? How much MSNBC do you need to watch? How much soothing from Rachel Maddow do you need to receive before you walk out there and you're like, yeah, I'm on the side of the murderers. Psychotic. What were happening Psychotic. And then, of course, all the fake priestesses and the people dressed up like their bishops or whatever, standing out there acting like they're doing something decent, when, of course, they're advancing something really bad for the country. Really bad. You want peace, you want safety, you want prosperity, you want a good, wholesome country? Eject the people who are violating our laws and hurting Americans. Really straightforward. Not. Not that long ago, that was common sense until the left got a hold of everything. Here's more. Cut to. Here's these fake religious leaders blocking immigration enforcement. Take a look here. We paused for a second. You paused. Can you leave that screen up? I don't know if it's possible to leave the screen up. But look, look what's going on. So this is like your standard issue LGBTQIA plus left wing, incoherent nonsense. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Ukrainian flag in there somewhere. But look, the one lady right here in the dead center is wearing a rainbow flag stole over her shoulders, which, of course, as you know, I can tell you instantly has nothing to do with God's promise not to flood the earth again in the Old Testament, and everything to do with this idea that gender is a social construct. That flag doesn't represent godliness. It represents the idea that we are God, that we can reinvent gender and all of the rules about our humanity on a moment's notice, on a whim. And so what that represents. And again, I'm making a lot of snap judgments here, and for good reason, because I know with confidence I'm right about this lady, that what she represents is not a religious perspective, but an anti religious perspective. And it is really grotesque to see these people dressed up as if they're advancing the spiritual well being of anybody, when in fact, what they're doing is adding a lot of chaos to the country. And out of that chaos comes a lot more evil, which is. Which is the opposite of what we want. So it's crazy. It's really crazy to see this. Yeah, it's godlessness. That's exactly right, little lady. Joe, thank you. It represents godlessness. And there it is on display. Really disgraceful stuff. So that's what the left is doing for illegal aliens who hurt Americans in our country right now. But additionally, we have a new thing developing as we speak, and it's that the President of the United States, President Trump, has decided to open up refugee status to Afrikaners, to white South Africans who are under threat from the regime they live under. And they're under Sincere threat in South Africa. In South Africa, they have been going after white farmers for some time. We got a lot of developments on that this year alone. For instance, earlier this year, the government passed a law that was signed by the South African president saying that, yes, that land can be seized. Take a look at this. I've got this BBC report up on my screen. South African president signs controversial land Seizure Law. Controversial? Why is it controversial? That land can be seized. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law a bill allowing land seizures by the state without compensation, a move that has put him at odds with some members of his government. Black people only own a small fraction of farmland nationwide. More than 30 years after the end of the racist system of apartheid, the majority remains with the white minority. This has led to frustration and anger over the slow pace of reform. So in other words, just take the land from private property owners, just seize it. That's the government law. And it's consistent, by the way, with all of the behavior of what's going on in South Africa. Do you know that the South African constitution outright endorses racial prejudice? It does. South Africa has an Orwellian constitution. An Orwellian constitution. Diana Schaub wrote about this for the Hoover Institution a while ago, and she writes in her piece. There is one final feature of the South African constitution which may have prompted Justice Ginsburg to sound the vuvuzela trumpets on its behalf. It contains a startling reinterpretation of the meaning of equality. After beginning section 9 by declaring that everyone is equal before the law, everyone is equal before the law claims a qualification is introduced to promote the achievement of equality. Legislative and other measures designed to protect or advance persons or categories of persons disadvantaged by unfair discrimination may be taken. In other words, it is permissible to reverse the direction of discrimination. The law and the courts can favor the previously disfavored in the name of ultimate equality. Now, this was written in 2012. This piece. This is before the popularization of the phrase equity was going crazy. And this gets back to kind of that Ibram Kendi school of thought here in the United States. Which is the answer to past discrimination is present discrimination. That's the plan. In other words, racial discrimination is the answer to racial discrimination. Not good. This always ends in chaos. And so the. The Constitution of South Africa. The Constitution of South Africa endorses racial segregation. That's happening now. What else is happening in South Africa? Well, over time, we've seen thousands of farm murders. Farm murders, that is, people who own and work on farms. Are being killed. And as you just heard in that land seizure law article that I was citing, the overwhelming majority of farm owners in South Africa are white. And in fact, there is an insatiable effort to displace these owners, these farm owners. And that includes from a political leader in South Africa by the name of Julius Malema. Julius Malema. He's the party leader of the eff, which is the Economic Freedom Fighters. Economic Freedom Fighters. And he does these rallies where he gets out with thousands of voters and he says, shoot to kill. Kill the boar, the farmer. Take a listen. This is. Again, this is a Communist party. This is the fourth biggest party in South Africa in a parliamentary system. He is a member of parliament, and he is one. And he is the leader of this Communist Party in South Africa. Shoot to kill. Yamaza. Kill the poor, the farmer. Kill the poor, the farmer. Kill the boar. The Boer is another word for Afrikaans, which are descendants of people of the Dutch which have been Afrikaans people generationally, have been there for over 400 years in South Africa. And what you have being advocated here is their death. What you have here being advocated is their death. And some people have taken Julius Malema very seriously, to the point that they've not only killed white farmers, but they've mutilated their bodies as a sign to others of the consequences that await them. So there is a real problem going on in South Africa, no question about it whatsoever. So earlier this year, President Trump said that farmers would be eligible to be refugees in the United States. These South African farmers, given the threat to them. Now here is President Trump explaining why he's granting asylum to South African farmers. Take a look here it is cut for the President of the United States.
- [18:36]
Donald Trump
Because they're being killed, and we don't want to see people be killed. Now South Africa leadership is coming to see me. I understand. Sometime next week. And, you know, we're supposed to have a. I guess a G20 meeting there or something, but we're having a G20 meeting. I don't know how we can go unless that situation's taken care of. But it's a genocide that's taking place that you people don't want to write about. But it's a terrible thing that's taking place. And farmers are being killed. They happen to be white, but whether they're white or black makes no difference to me. But white farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa. And the newspapers and the media. Television media doesn't even talk about it. If it were the other way around, they'd talk about it. That would be the only story they'd talk about. And I don't care who they are. I don't care about their race, their color. I don't care about their height, their weight. I don't care about anything. I just know that what's happening is terrible. I have people that live in South Africa. They say it's a terrible situation taking place. So we've essentially extended citizenship to those people to escape from that violence and come here.
- [19:53]
Vince
This brings us to the images that we got yesterday arriving at the Dulles airport. This is in Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. we get these images of these white South African refugees arriving in the United States waving American flags. Take a look at cut three from Dulles International. Now you see, of course, the American flags adorned on everybody. Everyone's holding these American flags, waving them. Small children, a lot of smiles on faces. People grateful to be here in the United States, posing for this photos. These photos as they come off the plane, arrive in the United States of America. That's what happened to Dulles yesterday. Now, this is a perfectly nice looking image. Everyone seems happy. It's nice to see see American flags being waved, not other foreign flags being waved, which unfortunately the left often celebrates when foreign nationals come to the United States and wave flags. You see in the foreground of this image, there's obviously a woman who must be describing to them next steps now that they're here. That's a non controversial image, or at least you would think that that's a non controversial image. In a moment, I'm gonna share with you the way the left is reacting to those images. Again, very sweet. Nothing even that interesting going on other than President Trump has extended refugee ability to them. And here they are. Hold on, though. Wait until you see what the left is revealing about itself right now. In just a moment. First, I've got to thank our sponsors and extend my appreciation to them for keeping this program going.

Okay, we've got the left going crazy about this. I've got a lot of examples of this. They're having a conniption fit. All of a sudden there's a certain category of refugee that's totally unacceptable to be welcomed into the United States of America. Let me give you just a sample of this. I'm not gonna play the full thing cause this goes on forever. But it's already being described as a five minute struggle session on MSNBC. Take a look. Here's cut five. MSNBC's freakout over a couple dozen people from South Africa coming to America has virtually halted refugee admission in America for people fleeing war and famine in places like Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- [23:20]
Dan Bongino
Back with Rick, Mark and Eddie. Rick Stengel.
- [23:25]
Tricia McLaughlin
Yes. So deeply and morally wrongheaded and repulsive. These are the descendants of the people who created the most diabolical system of white supremacy in human history. Apartheid. They're not directly responsible for it, but it was a system that actually deserved to be punished. Black people off of the arable land. So they inherited the land that the black people had to give up. It was called forced removal. So they had a Bantustan policy where they moved black people out of the cities and farmlands into these remote areas with non arable land. I mean it was just one of the most worst processes ever. But so this goes on.
- [24:06]
Vince
You can stop it. I don't need it anymore. This basically this just keeps going and going and going where they say, look, whatever violence is being inflicted on these guys, whatever deaths are even happening. And by the way, they're not even happening. There's a lot of denialism going on here. It's just pretending like this isn't going on at all. You know, it's not happening. And if it is, they deserve it. That's the MSNBC take on all of this in the last 24 hours. And you know, they're just going on and on about it and they're not alone. It was also happening on CNN where they're going crazy. This is Ashley Allison. Take a look at this. I'm going to show you this where.
- [24:45]
Ashley Allison
I think it is 80%.
- [24:46]
Vince
This is Ashley Allison and Scott Jennings. Take a look at my screen here as these guys are going.
- [24:51]
Ashley Allison
Okay, so if you think about the history of South Africa, it being under an apartheid system where I think it is 80% of the population that are black Africans only own 4% of the land. That is because they were put in shantytown.
- [25:07]
Vince
Once again, they're offering justifications for killing the white farmers. That is what she's doing here. This is a permissions trust.
- [25:14]
Ashley Allison
And moved into areas where they had no rights. And so 35, 30 plus years ago, they went through a revolution. The apartheid system ended and they reformed their constitution under the great leader of.
- [25:31]
Vince
Nelson Mandela to bake in racial discrimination. I just went over those details and.
- [25:36]
Ashley Allison
That allowed for a racial reconciliation, one that this country has yet to do.
- [25:41]
Vince
But she, like some of her colleagues in the media, some of her left wing Marxist colleagues, they hate the American constitution. They prize the South African constitution because it includes racial discrimination.
- [25:55]
Ashley Allison
Africa did it and they reformed their constitution. And part of that is that the people who are native to that land deserve their rightful land back. That is not what the Afrikaners actually want to have happen.
- [26:07]
Vince
The Afrikaners have been in that country, their ancestors, for many, many, many generations, over four, 400 years. And you're going to hear her say in just a moment, they need to go back to their home country, whatever that means. By the way, here in the United States of America, black Americans and their ancestors have been here for over 400 years. You don't tell people to go back to Africa. That's insane. They're American and these South Africans are South African American. And yet notice what the left is doing with this story, which are the.
- [26:45]
Ashley Allison
White Africans and so who are not originally from Africa, who colonize South Africa also. And so that is what they are saying is discrimination. Now, if the constitution in South Africa is discriminatory, they have their checks and balances in that land just like we do. And that is for them to. So if the Africaners don't actually like the land, they can leave that country.
- [27:08]
Vince
They are. They're leaving to come.
- [27:10]
Ashley Allison
No, these refugees are coming here. They can actually leave and go to where their native land is, which is probably Germany.
- [27:16]
Vince
Are you against them coming here? Holland?
- [27:18]
Ashley Allison
Holland, Are you against them coming here? I'm against the hypocrisy of this administration.
- [27:22]
Vince
That's not the question. The question is, are you just incoming?
- [27:24]
Ashley Allison
If there was actually a genocide happening like there is in other places, in Sudan, in the Congo, I would not. I'm not.
- [27:31]
Vince
Okay, so now denialism is taking place. There's no genocide. There's nothing bad happening. It's crazy. And I mean, there's a lot going on here. One of them is that, well, go back to your native land. Notice, of course, with the left that this is, this is an invented timeframe. Always, always, no one is indigenous to anywhere. If you go far enough back, if we really want to do this game with humanity, if you want to set the timetable all the way back, go back to where you came from. You're gonna basically say, wherever our ancestors originated from, we're all from Africa, every one of us. All the way back, go back to where you came from. All right, everyone crowd in. Let's go back to the cradle of civilization. The whole thing is so crazy. These are just sort of intellectualized euphemisms for justifying racism. That's it. That's all we're seeing playing out. It's wild. And let me finish here with a point that I want to make sure to dwell on for a moment. She goes on, if I can, fellas, we can finish this video up. She goes on to say that white South Africans can't come to the United States, but there are other people. There are other people who I'm happy to allow into the United States. Those are the illegals that Biden was importing in the first place. Take a look at this. Ready? Here we go.
- [28:53]
Ashley Allison
For Congolese and for the Sudanese to come to Africa, just like I'm not opposed to Venezuelans and South Americans coming to America if they are fleeing and looking for asylum. What I am against.
- [29:02]
Vince
These sticky people, you're against.
- [29:03]
Ashley Allison
What I am against is if they're.
- [29:05]
Vince
Fleeing or looking for asylum. Now, how did illegal aliens gain access to the United states? Up to 20 million of them, according to the Trump administration under Joe Biden. How did that take place? Well, the answer to that is routinely foreign nationals would show up at our border, they would cross it illegally, they would turn themselves into border patrol, and they would claim that they had a credible fear in their home country deserving of refugee status here in America, A credible fear. That was enough. In fact, that was what they were coached to say by the people who were trafficking them in. Now, routinely, what happens is people who begin that so called asylum process then never return for any of their Follow up appointments after they've been released into the United States. It's a game. It's a scam. Most of the illegals who are coming into our country were dispensing with their identification papers south of our border. They would have IDs that demonstrated their real names and their real countries of origin. And they would drop those papers south of the Rio Grande, cross into the United States, and then claim they had a credible fear in their home country and they couldn't return, that they deserved asylum. Now, the left not only bought that hook, line and sinker, they didn't care that this was obviously lies. They just welcomed people in. And here's the reality of refugee law in the United States. Refugee law is not some sort of open ended. Anyone can come here if they feel like they want to be in America. I don't really want to be in my home country, therefore I get to become a refugee. That's not the way it works. In fact, refugee law is very specific about what it takes to qualify as a refugee, what it takes at all to qualify as a refugee. If you want to live in America as a refugee. Let me pull up this for you. Stand by. Here is the way that USCIS Immigration Services describes what's even allowed. Okay. Under United States law, a refugee is somebody who is located outside of the United States, is of special humanitarian concern to the United States. 1, 2 demonstrates that they were persecuted or fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. In other words, protected categories. They have to not firmly be resettled in another country already. And they have to be admissible to the United States. Meaning they're not terrorists. They're not gonna break our laws. There's nothing to indicate that they shouldn't be here. They're not a public safety threat. And a refugee does not include anybody who is ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of any other person on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. So having read all of that to you, the qualifications for what makes somebody a refugee, these South African refugees who are coming to the United States, they line up perfectly with the types of people who would be extended refugee status to be welcomed to the United States. That is not the case with people who are pouring in from Venezuela and Guatemala and Honduras. You don't get to come to the United States just because you know you're going to make more money here. You don't get to come because your country's not as safe as The United States is. You like to live in a safer country. It's not merely a matter of preference. I'd prefer to live there. Therefore, I can become a refugee. No, you need to demonstrate that you have a credible fear of persecution on account of your race, religion, nationality or political opinion. That's what actually has to happen as a predicate to making you a refugee here. And so what the left has done with the asylum program is they've used it as a fast track for foreign nationals to pour into this country without once pausing to admit that it's a gigantic scam. But the second actually qualified refugees show up on our shores at Dulles International and they've got the wrong skin color. The left pounces. Now, what is that if not brazen racist bigotry? More. In a moment, we'll be joined by the DHS spokeswoman, Trisha McLaughlin. Lot to talk about with her in terms of the left's behavior, whether or not we're gonna see some Democrats arrested. I wanna know that. Just a moment. We'll talk about it. More and more Americans are making their wellness and their fitness a priority again.

Trisha, thank you very much for joining us.
- [36:49]
Dan Bongino
Huh, Vince, thanks for having me.
- [36:51]
Vince
Of course. Department of Homeland Security remains very busy. I've seen some good immigration numbers. That is. Our border is far more secure than it used to be. What's the latest on that?
- [37:00]
Dan Bongino
Absolutely. We almost have full operational control of the border. That's in just about 100 days under President Trump and Secretary Noemi. We got about 95% border crossings down. And Vince, what does that mean for the American people? Not only does it mean that we don't have masses of illegal immigrants trying to flow into our country. But it also means that our border patrol has more resources and they weren't stuck at these processing center processing people. And instead they're actually able to go out, go after the bad guys, go after the drug traffickers, drug mules, human traffickers, and cartels that are trying to infiltrate our country.
- [37:38]
Vince
So I understand that last month, April, that there were very few people who even attempted to get across the border, relatively speaking. And of those, just a handful were actually released into the country, I think. But all of those were very unique circumstances. Do I understand that correctly?
- [37:57]
Dan Bongino
Yes. Gotaways have absolutely plummeted. I think that the world is just really hearing the message of President Trump and Secretary Noem that you need to stay out, and if you don't, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.
- [38:12]
Vince
So illegal aliens, of course, are being rounded up all across the country and are being brought to various detention centers, including, as we've seen this past weekend in Newark, New Jersey. And that's been the scene of a lot of Democrats who have been trying to stop the deportations of these illegals and also trying to stop law enforcement from doing their jobs. That led to the arrest this weekend of the Newark mayor. And I understand DHS has been contemplating whether or not Democrat members of Congress also need to be arrested for their actions this weekend. What's the latest on that, Tricia?
- [38:47]
Dan Bongino
Yeah, Vince, just to set the scene here, we've made about 150,000 arrests since January 20th. And we need more bed space. And unfortunately, we reopened detainee detention hall, and that's where this scene really went down. We've seen multiple protests here, but I think the American people should know who actually is detained in this detention facility. It's Ms. 13 gang members, it's known terrorists, it's rapists, murders, child abusers. These are the worst of the worst that are being held in this detention facility. And yet there have been multiple protesters, including Friday. Really, things got out of hand as multiple members of Congress and the mayor stormed the detention facility gate and actually got to the first security checkpoint, breaking the law, but also trespassing. So there was an arrest by the mayor and then those members of Congress. We've also revealed body cam video of them body ramming, body slamming, striking law enforcement officers, pushing, shoving. It's really unacceptable behavior for members of Congress, but to anyone who is assaulting a law enforcement officer.
- [39:56]
Vince
So among those was a congresswoman in a red jacket that everyone saw Lamonica McIver, who was shoving, pushing, striking members of federal law enforcement. As of today, to my knowledge, she hasn't been arrested for that. Is there any hesitancy on the part of DHS to arrest members of Congress specifically? Is there a political consideration here?
- [40:20]
Dan Bongino
Everything is still on the table, Vince. I'm gonna leave it to the Department of Justice to make any announcements there. But we take the safety of our law enforcement incredibly seriously. If any civilian had attacked a law enforcement officer or stormed a detention facility, they would be facing justice.
- [40:39]
Vince
And so the Democrats are still trying to block that detention center. They spent the day yesterday doing that as well. I saw a number of people dressed up as if they were some sort of faith leader or something. They had linked arms. They're singing, they're telling the illegals on buses that were being brought to the detention center how much they love them. You know, what consequences are there, if any, if you're blocking federal law enforcement from doing this job?
- [41:07]
Dan Bongino
Vince, I'm not sure if you saw this either, but there was an ambulance that was trying to get into the facility because somebody was suffering a medical issue. And that ambulance could not actually enter the facility to get that person the help that they need. And I would love to ask these protesters, who do you want out of this detention facility? Is it the Ms. 13 gang members, the child rapists, the murders? Or what heinous actor do you want out of here? Because President Trump and Secretary Noem are trying to lock these heinous actors up who are terrorizing American communities. And why do you want them out back onto American streets? To hurt Americans.
- [41:46]
Vince
And that Newark facility, as you've laid out a couple times, the majority of the people who are being held there are guilty of these types of violent crimes. No. Yeah.
- [41:56]
Dan Bongino
About 75% are convicted criminals.
- [42:01]
Vince
Okay, so that's who the left is defending right now. I know that some time ago, Secretary Noem had indicated that if you're here illegally in the country, you have an obligation to use the CBP home app, as it's now called, to register, say you're here, and begin the process of self deporting from the United States of America. How much have you seen people do that? Deport themselves from the country?
- [42:28]
Dan Bongino
And we've actually gone even farther. Just last week, we announced a new program where these illegal aliens, they are not only offered free flights to leave the country, but also $1,000 stipend to restart their life in their country of origin. So we are really giving these the incentive for them to Leave now. And that's gonna save American taxpayers about 70% because in arrest and DEP per person per illegal immigrant costs about $17,000 versus through this program, it would be about $4,500 per illegal alien. But the alternative for these illegal aliens, if they don't take that thousand dollars, take that free flight and self deport now the alternative is they will be fined $1,000 a day, they will be found, they will be arrested, they will be deported and they will never be allowed to the return to the United States. So we are hoping to see these self deportation numbers go up. But right now we're in about the thousands.
- [43:26]
Vince
In the thousands right now. Okay. And so once the clock runs out on the generosity of the United States here will we see. I think Secretary Noem kind of indicated this to me last time I talked to her, that we are gonna see sort of increased enforcement action going on in the country, sort of the mass deportation images that should, should be ensuing. What do you think we will see on our television screens coming up?
- [43:53]
Dan Bongino
A few weeks ago you saw Operation Tidal Wave out of Florida where we were deputizing state and local law enforcement to make these immigration arrests. And we're going to continue to do that around the country. You're seeing that right now in Massachusetts and in Houston you're going to see that more widespread. So I think that those are just a preview of what's to come. So really these safest option, not just for our law enforcement, but also for these illegal aliens is to leave now, take advantage of the United States taxpayer generosity and get out of here. So you have the possibility to return the legal right way and maybe come back and live the American dream.
- [44:32]
Vince
And what about sanctuary cities? What is the Department of Homeland Security's relationship right now with these sanctuary cities? Are you seeing any more receptivity to being able to go in there and get illegals out?
- [44:44]
Dan Bongino
They have hamstrung ICE officers, I will absolutely say that. But we're working hand in glove with the Attorney General Pam Bondi to see what repercussions can be made. These sanctuary cities have become a safe haven for these very vicious gangs like MS.13, like Trend Aragua, that maim, rape and kill Americans for sport child pedophiles. We're noticing that from these cities, they're just flocking there and we need a way to get them out and we need, you know, these detention facilities to actually abide by our lodging. So once they are released, they're not going back into the American communities. We can actually deport them and get them the heck out of this country.
- [45:27]
Vince
And are there still people being deported to both Guantanamo Bay as well as El Salvador right now?
- [45:34]
Dan Bongino
Yeah, absolutely. Guantanamo Bay, we have a couple hundred detainees there. Hardened criminals will continue those flights and there will be more flights to seekot to that center for terrorism in El Salvador. Mostly Those are Title 8 authorities. As you know, those Alien Enemies act has been paused for now. But the American people should know that we're not resting on our laurels. We're not depending just on the Alien Enemies Act. We have deportation flights going every single day. And we're not going to let activists, judges and this historic number of injunctions stop us from delivering on the mandate that they gave President Trump to secure our border and secure our homeland.
- [46:15]
Vince
Lastly, one other question for you here, Tricia. I want to ask you about fentanyl. I know that fentanyl is at the center of the president's concerns about stopping threats to the country, certainly as it relates to both our southern and northern borders and in his conversations with China. What, if anything, has changed about the flow of fentanyl into the United States? During the first hundred days or so.
- [46:35]
Dan Bongino
Of the Trump administration, we've seen the seizure of fentanyl up 54%. And our U.S. coast Guard has really been unleashed to really help and seize those deadly drugs before they get onto American soil. That is a top priority for Secretary Noem, for President Trump. And we know, I mean, all of us come from different communities that are impacted by this deadly drug ravaging communities. And we are dedicated to stopping this. 100,000Americans die every single year. It is part of what this invasion of our country has done.
- [47:12]
Vince
Yeah, that's for sure. All right, Trisha McAulan, thank you very much. I know you're busy at the Department of Homeland Security. Thanks for spending some time with us.
- [47:18]
Dan Bongino
Thanks for having me, Vince.
- [47:20]
Vince
I always appreciate Trump administration officials. Biden. I'll get to him in a second. Trump administration officials realizing the importance of this audience stopping by and giving us an update on what they're up to. So we'll keep doing that, of course. Lots more of those coming up. Speaking of Biden, now that Joe Biden is well out of office and is no threat to Democrat power anymore, the media feel like very comfortably that they can tell you all about his inability to think or even do the job as president of the United States. But what's going on here is quite a few things. So Jake Tapper has written a book alongside Alex Thompson. The two of Them. Jake is a CNN guy. Alex Thompson is an Axios guy. They share the byline on this new book. And they're now doing the media tour where they're explaining what was going on with Joe. And this morning, Jake reveals that Biden was so bad that the White House, at the urging of the White House doctor, was on the verge of sticking him in a wheelchair in order to start doing events going forward that they needed to get him off of his feet and into a wheelchair. Take a look here. Jake Tapper this morning on CNN detailing the need for the wheelchair for Biden. Western Lensman pulling the clip as he often does. Take a look.
- [48:41]
Jake Tapper
I'm curious about what his advisers were saying at the time. As you look at this, as you report this book.
- [48:52]
Alex Thompson
So the White House physician, Dr. Kevin O' Connor, was telling White House aides that President Biden's deterioration of his spine, the degeneration, was so significant that if he fell one more time.
- [49:04]
Vince
Do you remember the White House doctor coming out and telling us in public that Biden was in this perilous of a place? I don't. I remember a lot of propaganda things coming out from the White House doctor. And then remember the Biden White House refused to let the doctor even go out to the press briefing. So the doctor knew at the time that this guy may be wheelchair bound.
- [49:22]
Alex Thompson
Imminently, that he might have to be in a wheelchair and serve in a wheelchair for his second term. But everybody pushed off the notion that he use a wheelchair until after the election. This is all part of a larger whole where the Biden, they should have.
- [49:39]
Vince
Put him in a wheelchair. We would have never known anyway. Right? I mean, is there any historical precedent for the press covering up the fact that the president of the United States is actually in a wheelchair? Any at all? Has that ever happened? Oh, that's right. Fdr. That's precisely what they did. They hid the president's condition from the American people. Why wouldn't they do it again now? Oh, that's right. It's because independent media are now available. To tell you the truth, the White.
- [50:06]
Alex Thompson
House tried to hide the extent of his deterioration, both physical and cognitive, as much as possible. In fact, as you, we all know, we all saw, as his shuffling gait got worse and worse from 2003 to 2004, as we all saw, they started putting AIDS around him as he walked to Marine One, the helicopter. That was to kind of hide from public view how bad his gait was.
- [50:32]
Vince
How bad his wall, as we all saw. Yeah, we all saw this. Well, how come CNN wasn't talking about it relentlessly?
- [50:38]
Alex Thompson
Talking was his shuffling and also in case he stumbled again to make sure somebody was there. And this is just of a piece of an overall campaign to try to conceal from the American people the extent to which the president was really struggling to do his job.
- [50:53]
Vince
The lousiest concealment campaign ever devised. All of us knew that Joe Biden was failing in terms of his health and other things, but specifically in terms of his health. We all knew it. What kind of coverup was this? It was just the people that, that were working in the White House, the people, the press. JAKE Tapper, CNN they're like, we have no idea what's going on. Lack of health. That's a deep fake. That's a cheap fake. They told us he's perfectly fine. Fit as a fiddle. Now, as far as the lies that are being told, take a look at this. Here's Jake Tapper saying that everyone around, everyone around Biden was being lied to, that this was one of the deepest, darkest secrets of the Biden era.
- [51:40]
Jake Tapper
You have an entire White House press corps, though, following him around. And I'm just curious as to whether or not this kind of trying to hide what was happening with the president at the time had an impact on the press corps. Like, why didn't we hear some of these details from what they actually saw?
- [51:58]
Vince
And why wasn't the press telling us about this? What could it be? Did they just not detect it? What happened? She asks, as if we all don't know the answer. It's because he was a lefty. He was the head of the Democrat Party, and the media was rooting him on, and they were covering up his.
- [52:13]
Jake Tapper
Condition, dealing with, trying to get information.
- [52:18]
Alex Thompson
Well, Alex Thompson and I were on the case, as were lots of other reporters trying to figure out what was going on behind the scenes. But the bottom line is the White House was lying not only to the press, not only to the public, but they were lying to members of their own Cabinet, they were lying to White House staffers, they were lying to Democratic members of Congress.
- [52:39]
Vince
Oh, gosh. This is the reason we didn't know is because they were lying. Think about the chart of the people who knew that Joe Biden was in miserable condition and the people who didn't. Ready, here we go. Joe and Jill know. Joe might not know because his brain doesn't work, but Jill knows. And then a couple of people around them. And then outside of that, they claim that there's this whole constellation of political elites, the Press and political operatives, cabinet members, they had no idea that Joe Biden was demented. Meanwhile, the whole rest of the country knew. So it's all of us and Joe and Jill and then this little group of elites who have no idea whatsoever. That's what Jake is trying to get you to believe here. Yeah, it was just a really sophisticated cover up operation. There was just no way of knowing.
- [53:27]
Alex Thompson
Donors about how bad things had gotten. And in fact, Alex and I started writing this book after the election of 2024 and we spoke with more than 200 people.
- [53:38]
Vince
This, by the way, that little piece of information, we started writing this book after the election is the way for Jake to absolve himself of knowing something that he didn't tell you before the election. Oh, I didn't really start the investigation until after the election was over. Why? Why did you wait until then?
- [53:57]
Alex Thompson
Most of whom, almost all of whom were Democrats and almost all of whom wouldn't be honest with us or wouldn't be candid with us until after the election. And then after the election, we found out all of these things.
- [54:09]
Vince
Oh, my gosh.
- [54:10]
Alex Thompson
That when you looked at what was going on with President Biden at the time.
- [54:14]
Vince
So all of these Democrats. Did I hear that correctly? So all of the Democrats you spoke with prior to the election, there's a culture of deceit going on in an entire political party and that network spends all their time attacking Republicans. And Jake just revealed to their audience, yeah, Democrats were just lying like crazy. So there was just no way to report this out.
- [54:33]
Alex Thompson
So wouldn't be candid with us until after the election. And then after the election, we found out all of these things. That when you looked at what was going on with President Biden at the time, it probably doesn't surprise you.
- [54:45]
Vince
It makes a lot more sense now. When he was falling off of stages, falling downstairs, falling upstairs, getting led around by the Easter Bunny, wandering away, not knowing where to go, needing stage direction, needed to be dragged off stage by George Clooney and Barack Obama. All of a sudden I'm putting the pieces together. I'm starting to think this guy wasn't with it at the time, extent to.
- [55:05]
Alex Thompson
Which he was deteriorating. But now we have anecdotes and facts about what was really going on behind the scenes with details that Democrats wouldn't share with us until after election day.
- [55:14]
Vince
Little gumshoe reporting finally got to the bottom of that epic saga. Holy cow. That's brazen. That is brazen. Oh, man. And now they're profiting off of it. I'D like to know what the advance on that book was. As Jake uses the dwindling audience of CNN to sell books. Guess what we just found out. Joe Biden, his cognition was broken. He was non compos menthus. Does this open up any other follow on questions, by the way? So if you're willing to admit this much now in order to get a book out of it, what else does that tell you? Were the pardons legitimate? If the president wasn't competent to be president, if he was in such a fragile state, were all of the pardons of his family legitimate? Was the pardon of Anthony Fauci legitimate? Was the pardon of all the January 6th people legitimate? Maybe this should open up some new lines of reporting. Maybe your inquiries should extend. But why do I get the feeling that they won't? Why do I get the feeling that you are right now only doing this because you think that there is no negative impact on Democrats? Because if it took actual, if you actually started going down that road and looking at the use of the auto pen to pardon everybody because Biden couldn't get his hand around a pen to sign the pardons and couldn't get his mind behind it in the first place, what could that possibly mean for Those Democrats, those RINOs, all the people who received those pardons, what could it mean for them? I don't feel like they're gonna dig in. In fact, I know they're not. No, they just have some books to sell. That's where they're at right now. Thank you as always for joining us on vince.
