Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 06-28-22

in San Antonio, Texas. Number of them were children. Three people have been arrested in the presume smuggling attempts, but Texas Governor Greg Abbott wasted no time in placing the blame directly on President Biden and his administration's open border policies. We'll get into all of us and tonight's holding on Welcome to hold the line. I'm Buck Sexton. An open border has tragic consequences. We've seen this ongoing for years now. When you no longer care about the rule of law

at the border, who fills that vacuum? The cartels, the vicious transnational narcotics gangs that engage in the smuggling of drugs that kill tens of thousands of Americans over one hundred thousand total overdoses last year alone, and also engage in massive human smuggling operations where the safety of migrants is not even a concern to these vicious cartels, and we see that this results in tragedy like what just unfolded over the last twenty four hours. Texas Governor Abbott

tweeted out at least forty two people. By the way, that number has risen to fifty people who have now died in total inside a truck carring migrants in Texas. These debts are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law. Yes, they certainly do.

Biden administration has done nothing to clamp down on the human smuggling, has nothing significant to change the overall incentive structure here, both for the cartels to continue their human and narcotics trafficking in unprecedented numbers across the southern border, but also for the individuals who want to come into America illegally to take extreme risks in that process. These

are individuals who are desperate, they're breaking the law. Their safety is not even a consideration for the cartels, and that can have tragic consequences that can show that that can show up as drownings in the Rio Grande, which we have seen people dying out in the desert of exposure to the heat or from thirst, which we have seen. And now this the largest migration mass casualty event really in the history of this country. Now the cartels are,

of course the entity behind this. The policy of the Biden administration make it all easier for those cartels, and that's where the political blame should lie. Does lie criminally, though of course we have to find out how this happened and who was involved. San Antonio's mayor says, there are three persons of interest in custody. Watch the people that are responsible for subjecting other people to these conditions should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

We do have three persons of interest who are in custody, and so you can rest assure that we will cooperate in any way necessary to bring justice to those individuals. This is yet another sad day for our southern border, which has become an area of lawlessness and perpetual violations. It seems of our sovereignty. The risks to individuals who are crossing far too high. The riches the cartels received from all this are too much and people are finally

starting to recognize the situation is unsustainable. Prior to this incident, in fact, Texas Sheriff Ed Gonzalez informed the Biden administration that he's no longer interested in being Biden's new ICE Director Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. He tweeted out, I am grateful who President Biden for the honor of nominating me, and I wish this administration well as it strives to overcome the paralyzing political gridlock that threatens far more than

our nation's border. Frankly, the dysfunction threatens America's heart and soul. People who are professional border agents of many years, many decades in fact, are saying this is the worst it has ever been. Do you get any sense from the

Biden administration that they believe there is urgency here? Sure, they're going to put out statements about how tragic and it is deeply tragic that fifty people lost their lives in one truck crossing the border on behalf of the cartels and based on the average price that individuals pay for that trafficking across the cartel plazza, there the plot of land, so to speak, that they are in charge of because the cartels break up the territory between them.

You're talking about you're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars the cartels would have gotten just from this one smuggling operation, and in this case it went tragically wrong with fifteen deaths. How does this all come to an end? Well, border patrol will tell you the only way to stop this is to secure the border. There needs to be something done. It's not enough to just say that this is a tragedy and this is sad. There are policies

that could prevent the next human smuggling operation. Because border

patrol right now is overstretched. They are spending so much time dealing with the humanitarian mission of taking in Emily units, making sure that babies have food and formula healthcare for illegal migrants crossing that cartel smuggling operations like this one are far more likely to occur because the cartels know that there is a good chance they'll be able to get through our border security, and so it just encourages the lawlessness and an encourages situations that could result in

tragedies like this one. The way border agents on average apprehend more than seven thousand migrants right now every single day, and a lot of them are unaccompanied children. The Biden administration is moving forward with a program to house many of those children in North Carolina apparently, so they've done nothing to stop the flow. They turned off the Remain in Mexico program of the Trump administration. That change the

incentive for illegal crossing. And the only thing you can take away from this whole situation at the thirty thousand foot policy levels that the Biden administration doesn't want this situation of a porous really an open border to stop. They view this as in their long term political interests. They see this situation as benefiting Democrat power over the long run. They also have a ideological core of say twenty to thirty percent of the Democrat Party who truly

believe in open borders. I mean they actually think that America should kick it stores wide open to anyone, particularly from the developing world. So people that come from poor countries who generally do not speak English, they want them coming into this country in the largest possible numbers. They view them as likely to be more dependent upon this state for assistance and resources and to vote Democrat as a result. That is the program that is the plan.

Democrats have even articulated this in recent years. This needs to stop. There needs to be a bipartisan decision that we will secure the border. The only way that's going to happen is if Democrats are annihilated at the polls in the upcoming internal election. We'll have more on this with the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, marker Core. You know, just a moment, Let's talk about protecting your online data. First.

We'll be right back with more. Hold the line. This is more death on the hands of the President. I can't think of anything worse, Laura than these people in that eighteen wheel are suffocating the heat going to one hundred and thirty degrees or more, trying to climb out, desperately, desperately,

and they died. Culture of death. Whether it's Fentnel that he allows to come over the border because he has open borders that kills our teenagers, whether it's these forty six people, and it may be more those are in the hospital or very critical. If ever, this nation needs to climb out of the darkness we are in of the Biden administration. Now is the time that we all

should be on our knees and pray. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick blaming President Biden and his open border policies for the heartbreaking tragedy in Texas or at least fifty migrants we're left to die in an eighteen wheeler as part of a smuggling operation. This as the administration continues to lie to the American people saying the border is securely closed with humane policies in place. Clearly there are big problems here. They're delusional if they think this is

a secure border. Join me now to discuss Executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies Marker Corey and Marco to see him. Thanks for having me first. That's want to have you respond. Here is a White House Press Secretary Karen Jeanpierre on the tragedy today of the fifty

migrants found dead in that truck. Watch. We're focused on them, on the facts and help holding the human strugglers who endangered vulnerable individual, individual profits accountable, and and we're focused on continuing our story actions to disrupt dangerous smuggling networks, including through a new anti smuggling campaign that just in the first two months resulted in over eighteen hundred arrests.

But the fact of the matter is the border is closed, he says, I mean there's a lot there, you can respond it. But she says the borders closed. Mark. Yeah, well, if I left my car door locked the way they're saying the border is closed, that I would have a car pretty quickly. It's a laughable statement. It's obviously true that the people directly responsible are these criminal smugglers though,

the scum of the earth. But there's also no question that the Biden administration bears a significant part of the responsibility. Lieutenant Governor Patrick was correct, because what we're doing is it's not that the border is open, it's it's open ish. In other words, we're luring people here with the Biden administrations promise that if they get past the border patrol, they're basic home free. But we still have some roadblocks

in the way. I mean, there are still there is still some enforcement going on at the border, so some people still rely on smugglers to get in. So what we have is the worst of both worlds. The one option is and this is something that for instance, Senator Menendez from New Jersey and various activist groups have said today, is that we're not let enough people in. We just need to have unlimited immigration, basically, is what they're saying. Because then anybody who wants to come in would get in.

Nobody would have to be smuggled. Of course, the United States would basically cease to exist if we did that. The other option, the real option, is we have consistent enforcement across the border to deter illegal limits, not just fences and what have you. And that's all important, but we also make sure that if you get past the border patrol, you're not home free. You still get deported

across the board. Consistent strong enforcement so that people abroad thinking about coming as an illegal immigrant will say it's just not worth it. The odds or against me, so I'm not going to take the risk and spend the money.

Some people might still do still mark, are they still running the same the same scam essentially at a massive level of this is all about they're supposed to appear and they don't appear, they're giving a notice to appear, they claim they want asylum, they go the asylum process, and if so, do we have any sense of the numbers of who actually seize through the process once they're let it, once they enter illegally, but then they're claiming defensive asylum or they have some other means of getting

released into the system. How many of them end up at some point disobeying the system and breaking the law again by either not showing up or not actually going through to show before a judge, etc. Like, basically, how many of them are actually staying legally? Almost all of are staying illegally. Obviously it's a multi year process, so

it's kind of a moving target. But the fact is that of those people who made it through the first screening interview, that they don't get asylum, but they're you know, they're considered okay, maybe they could get asylum. That's the first screening interview. Half of those people don't even then go through the process of actually applying for asylum because they're let go. So why bother the other? It fair?

Is it fair to say, would you say, mark eighty percent give or take eighty to maybe eighty to ninety percent at some point just aside the system is not really for them after they've been let in. Is that what we're looking at at least? I mean, no question, eighty to ninety maybe even more than that. One point or another. They may show up for hearings, but then if they're ordered deported, they don't leave. So yes, the overwhelming majority almost all who don't get asylum end up

staying anyway. What kind of interior enforcement do we actually have going on right now? And by the numbers, obviously it's weak, it's by it and we know that. But are they deporting people and any significant numbers right now from the not including people caught at the border crossing and illegally now maybe turned away unentertitle forty two. But are we deporting people who are just in the country illegally? What's interior enforcement? Yeah, I'm pulling your leg here, but no,

they're not. I mean, some people, sure, But we looked at the numbers, and deportations from inside the country, as you suggested, are down in twenty twenty one, down by two thirds, more than two thirds. And the administration has always maintained that that's because they're focusing on criminals only. Well, the deportations of criminals also dropped by about the same amount. So the fact is that you really really have to do something to get ICE's attention in order for the

Biden administration to allow Ice to deport you. It still happens, it just doesn't happen very much. GOP. Senator Ron Johnson, by the way, is demanding answers from DHS Secretary of Many Orcus after a leaked DHS MAMO about using federal funds to move migrants around the US. Dron Johnson said, under DHS's plan, taxpayers would put the bill to send allies I'm sorry, aliens to cities such as Los Angeles, California, Albuquerque,

New Mexico, Houston, Dallas, and other places. Taxpayer dollars should be used to secure our border, not further exacerbate the Biden border crisis. What's going on here with the taxpayer dollars from DHS setting people all over the country. So now as you cross in illegally and DHS puts you on a plane and sends you to Boston, so you

can go exactly where you want to go. Well, not necessarily, what they're doing is moving people away from the border because the border communities are overwhelmed, and so what they're doing is they're sending people to shelters like the next big city in Houston or LA or Phoenix or something like that. But if you're actually going to Houston or LA or Phoenix, well then the government just delivered you to where you're going in any case you have been

moved away from the border. The Biden administration's concern with like the burdens this is placing on border towns is not the way they're responding to that is not to fix the problem and keep people out. It's to move people out faster so that they get into the United Political consequences to people seeing the mobs, you know in the different detainment centers, etc. Real quick before let you go, mark, any thoughts on what's going to come down here from

the Supreme Court on remain in Mexico. I don't know, and it'll be it's an important case. But even if they uphold the decision that they have to keep remain in Mexico in place, this administration even now is under that kind of order from the lower courts and they've only put a few hundred, well a couple of thousand people into remain in Mexico, when last month alone they had almost a quarter million illegal aliens. So they're basically ignoring the court order. Now. I'm not the Supreme Court

could affirms the lower court's orders. This administration will do anything different. Mark, We'll have to talk to you more about it when it comes down. Thanks for being one of us. Thank you. With Rov Wade overturned, pro abortion groups are suing state governments to prevent abortion bans from taking effect. We come back. Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton joins us to discuss the lone star states efforts

to shutter the abortion industry. Right now, I want to talk to you about protecting your most viable asset, your home. I don't know if you saw this, but there was a recent story about an Arizona real estate agent that found the home she lived and was listed for sale. The problem was she wasn't selling her home. He was the victim of home title fraud, a devastating crime happening

all over the country. According to the experts at home title lock, the crime is incredibly profitable and hard to detect. An identity thief simply creates a fake title transfer for your home and refiles as the new owner. Then he can take out loans on your home or sell it. Typical identity theft services don't cover you, and neither does homeowners insurance. Home title lock does. Home title lock puts are around your homes tittle the instant they detect anyone

messing with it. They helped shut it down. So here's what you should do. Go to home tuttlelock dot com. Read the testimonials from former FBI agents. Then register your address to see if you're already a victim and don't even know it. When you protect your home, tell them Buck sent you to get thirty three days of protection. Home tuttlelock dot com Again, that's home titlelock dot com. Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxson joints in a moment.

Abortion providers in a number of states are filing lawsuits to prevent the enactment of statewide abortion bands following the overturning of ROEVI Wade by the Supreme Court. At least thirteen states have abortion bands on the books, many of which were set to trigger once decade. The decades old rob Wade was overturned earlier today, a judge in Harris County, Texas, block the implementation of the state's ban, ruling that abortions up to about six weeks can temporarily resume at some clinics.

Jo mean now for the latest on this battle is the Attorney General of the State of Texas, Ken Paxson, Mister Attorney General. Thanks for being with us. Ay, glad to be there. So so tell me who what happened here? A judge has said that abortions can continue? What give us the situation? The overview of in a post row legal environment? What is happening in your home state of Texas? All right, so we're talking about Harris County. We're in

a barely liberal county, fairly liberal judge. She ruled that the pre row statutes are not in place anymore. I don't know why she said that, because the statute that we passed, both the Trigger Bill and the Heartbeat Bill both reference the fact that we're not we're not eliminating those statues. The statutes still are in place. They've never been repealed by the legislature. So you know, this is a temporary injunction. So we're going to have whether the

permanent junction is going to stay in place. We're gonna have a hearing in a in a I think it's a couple of weeks, and so we should build all this if we if we don't, will appeal it. It's it's obviously it's it's not the right decision. Those statutes are in place, the trigger bills in place, everything, heartbeat bills and heartbeat built laws in place. Everything's in place, and for her to stop everything and say act like nothing happened, is you know, obviously not the right decision.

And what is the law now in the state of Texas forever to watch it when it when it comes to the issue of abortion, I mean what you mentioned the trigger laws. Where where does it the issue stand right now? Yeah, so the trigger bill goes into effect after the court. The court has the issue of final judgment. The final judgment typically is about I think the deadlines about twenty five days. It gives it gives the other side a chance to ask for rehearing of their case

in front of the US Spreme Court. They're rarely granted. I doubt it will be granted here, but we have we give them twenty five days and then thirty days after that. The legislature said, the trigger Bill goes into effect and abortions are are bank end and that's a new law. There were old laws that were struck down by Robi Wade. Now Robie Wade has been struck down.

So our argument is, hey, those laws they were struck down then, but they're still alive now because Robie Wade was invalid precedent, and the Supreme Court just told us that. And so the laws in place before Robie Wade occurred in nineteen seventy three are now back in place. Those laws exist right now and until the Trigger Bill goes into effect, and the Trigger Bill doesn't even overrule those It just adds to what does the trigger bill do,

just so I'm clear. So the Trigger Bill outlaws all abortions unless it relates to the help of the mother. So the Trigger Bill, if roby it was passed legislature before Robie Wade was struck down. It was passed in anticipation of Robie Wade being struck down. So legislature passed it in May, I think, and it went into effect in September, almost a year ago. And if Robi Waite passed, then it's sort of retroactively knocked down or put back

in place. These these these statutes what have You can also speak to the possible legality one way or the other of a suggestion from Member of Congress Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who wants abortion clinics to be opened on federal land in Red states. Watch with the us off the baby. The baby steps open abortion clinics federal So, mister Churney General, she says she wants abortion clinics to be opened on federal land in red states. Could that

happen in Texas? I don't know how she do that. I mean, we don't really have many federal lands in Texas. We've got Air Force base and army bases, but those are usually known to be used for the military. We don't have a lot of federal lands in Texas. You know, there are states like Utah and Nevada and that are controlled largely by by the federal government. But in Texas, you know, there's just not a lot of a lot of federal lands. Sorry, Aco and switching topics for a

moment here, mister Attorney General. Everyone across the country is reeling in horror at the finding of the migrants in this tractor trailer. Fifty of them as of this show, at least we know, are dead. There are others who are in severe you know, severe risk taken to the hospital, including children. What should people know about how a situation like this can occur? What are the factors from the cartel side to the policy side that allow something like this.

I mean, I think it's the worst migrant loss of life tragedy and history. Yeah, this is not the first time, though this is a larger number than we've had in the passing. This will happen again. This is a partnership between the Biden administration and the cartels. The cartels know that the Biden administration has incentivized this, and the cartels make the more people they can get across the border,

the more money they make. They charge eight thousand per person somewhere around that number, and so the Biden administrations made it very clear that the more people that they cartels can get across, the more money they're gonna make. And look, these people are typically not running, they're typically running to the border rages. Now there are some that have issues that even the border rages don't accept, and so that may be this group here. So this is

not going to be the last time. This is certainly encouraged by the Biden administration. I would say to expect more the same. And they're they're fine with it. They're willing to accept losses from both migrants, from both citizens of Texas, from betting all overdoses. Those are all acceptable losses to the Biden administration, they're encouraging this, not discouraging it in any way. They're doing everything they can make everything they can do to make this happen. So they're

okay with all of this. Would you say that cartels are more powerful right now in part because of the poorest border with all the human smuggling and drug trafficking going on, Then at any time since you've been working in Texas law and law enforcement, well, when you're empowered by the federal government of the United States, it really does help. And so they've gotten a huge boost from the Biden administration encouraging illegal immigration and they know it. Look,

there's no surprise to them. They were they were told on day one, Hey, the laws of the federal government about immigration don't apply anymore. Get you know, get get on, get on the ball, and get your get more people here. And so they've done it, and they are more powerful, their their their ability to import drugs is getting better, and more kids are dying, more people are dying. That's

for the Biden administration. They you know, obviously don't talk about this, but it's clear to me that it's a fair trade off of them they're willing to trade American lives and even immigrant lives if they can get a trade off of getting more and more illegal immigrated immigrants into this country and just just one more for you. I remember hearing from members of border patrol that the

state of this is one of the Trump administration. When I was spending time at the border at the state of California did everything they could to make it harder for border patrol agents in California to do their jobs. I'm wondering now, it's obviously different of a Biden administration. Are there any ways the Bide administration at the federal level is making it harder for the state of Texas to have border security. Oh. Absolutely, everything they're doing makes

it more difficult for us to have border security. I mean, when you when you have an open invitation to tell people to turn yourself into the border age border patrol and you'll be given asylum, and you'll be moved rather quickly secretly a planer on a bus somewhere in the country. The border agents aren't getting to do their job. They're demoralized, they're they're not supported, they're not getting to do their job.

It's it's not even a real job anymore. And it's unfortunate because these are great men and women that have dedicated their lives to public service, to helping us defend our country, and the Biden administrations fits in their face and says, we're not going to let you do your jobs. A fact, We're gonna make you just the opposite. We're gonna make you be a part of our plan to violate all federal laws as it relates to immigration and

get as many illegal immigrants into here. Whatever their background, whether it's you know, crime, drugs, whatever it is, we want them here. Even if they're criminals, we want them here. We're going to try to release them. We fought the Biden administration they're supposed to now not let criminals go in the United States. Whether they're doing that or not, we don't know because they don't report anything to the

American people about what they're actually doing. Learning in general from State of Texas can packs in, sir, appreciate you being with us today. Thanks for making the time. Hey, thank you have a great day. A big win for election integrity New York City, as the city's non citizen voting law was struck down yesterday in the courts. We'll talk about that coming up here in just a moment.

Each morning, the President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.

Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start your morning. Every administration, including the Deblasio administration the Bloomberg administration, has been clear saying that this law would be unconstitutional and against the current statute, and now judge

has firm that position. Big win for election integrity in New York City yesterday, as the city's non citizen voting law has been struck down of the courts. New York Times reports a law that would have allowed non citizens to vote in local elections in New York City was struck down on Monday by a State Supreme Court justice on staten Island who said it violated these state constitution.

The measure would have allowed more than eight hundred thousand permanent legal residents and people with authorization to work in the United States to vote for offices such as mayor and city council. So what does this mean for local New York City elections moving forward? Man that led the

movement to strike down this laws with me now? New York City Council Minority Leader Joe Barelli, Joe Sage of Staten Island, good to see you, you too, book, Thank you, so you put out a statement on this the state Supreme Court law a state Supreme court rather invalidating the non citizen voting law. Non Citizen voting in New York is illegal, and shame on those who thought they could

skirt the law for political gain. Command the court and recognizing reality and reminding New York's professional protests or class at the rule of law matters. I mean, when you look at the state constitution in New York, was this even a close call? Why do they think they can get away with this? Well, so, even I'll stipulate the state constitution is somewhat vague. It says that citizens have the right to vote in elections, which is something we

all know and accept. But even if we stipulate that point is vague, there's a state statute on the books, even in Blue New York State, that requires citizenship to register for and vote at elections at all levels, from the governor down to the town justice. So it was the combination of that and the state constitution and a third law that required municipalities, if they're changing the way people vote for offices, to go through a referendum process that they didn't do with this case. It was those

three things that actually overturned this law. And again going back two decades, every mayoral administration to Blasio, also in Bloomberg, they all said that this was illegal, that the city did not have the power to do this. But in the last month of the de Blasio mayoralty, he decided to throw some you know, wat against the wall and see what's stuck. And for six months this stuck until a judge decided that reality and the law matters, and

now we won't have foreign citizen voting. These aren't non citizens, but these are foreign citizens. Qualifications of New York voters are as follows. No person shall be qualified to register for and voted any election unless he is a citizen of the United States and is or will be on the day of such election eighteen years of age or over, and the resident of the state and of the county, city, or village for a minimum of thirty days next preceding

such elections. So the law seems on this one one out. But Joe, do you think they're done? Are they going to try some other way to expand voting to people who are not citizens? No, they'll forum shop. They'll try to appeel this up to the Second Department, our first level appeals court in the state. They'll try to make the argument that the application of that law, even though it's plain and simple you can read it yourself, wasn't applied properly in this case. I don't think that works.

What they could do, and what might be the interesting things come out of this is now push at the state level for a change in that law. And to be clear, if they change the statute you just had on the screen, then you could allow municipal voting of foreign citizens in every county and every city election in the state. Unfortunately, though, they would pay a political price for that, because this is one of those things that's

not even widely supported within liberal New York City. There were a ton of politicians, especially African American politicians, who oppose this. They rightly have seen a generation of trying to get black leadership and other ethnicities to get representation in their communities at different levels of government, and they felt that this would water down their contributions to govern our city by allowing these people who are enfranchised in

some other jurisdiction around the world. By the way, fun fact, if this was to go into into place last election, you could have voted for Sonic Khan in London and Mayor Eric Adams within thirty five days of each other and both would have been legal. Wow. There you have it. Not on Joe Burrow, He's watch though at least not yet. Cognatorial primary elections going on today in the Empire State. Joe, you endorsed on the GEOP side, Lee Zeldene. What made

you go with Lee? There's some good folks in that race. Yeah, I mean there's there's three good candidates. I'll be clear about that. I know Rob Esterino and Andrew Giuliani for many, many years, and if they happen to win I'll be happy to support them too, But I think Lee is the only person in the race with the experience and statewide mechanics of a campaign that could actually go on

and beat Kathy hole in Hoco. In November, Lee raised almost ten million dollars, which is double basically what every other challenger for a governor had even come close to raising at this point. In the past. We've always had ourselves a disadvantage two Democrats, both in terms of fundraising and in terms of enrollment. But we take that fundraising thing off the table, it becomes much more easy. Also, he's from a part of the state that we need

to flip back. I like Trump, You like Trump, but we know that he lost some support in the suburbs. Lee Zeldon will win Nassau County, He'll win Suffolk County, on both Long Island counties, and who'll win part of the Hudson Valley. So geographically he makes the best case for November to beat Kathy Hopell. How do we look here going up against pocal the sitting governor, not actually somebody who won an election to get there. But you know, we all know Cuomo pushed to the side. She's Lieutenant

now she's the real governor or lieutenant governor. Did not last very long, by the way I think people are realizing, does not the machine of let's say, lack of corruption is not the trademark of ThEC Hocoal gubernatorial period. Thus, far Ken a Republican actually win. Joe Ken, a Republican, actually beat Kathy Hocal in New York in this fall this fall, will action Buck, you're a New Yorker. I mean within our lifetime we had a Republican governor and

he served three terms. He was someone who was moderate on many of his positions, someone who was willing to work across the aisle when he had to. Some Republicans didn't like everything he did, and that's fine though, But no one can dispute the fact that the nineteen nineties were a pretty good time for New York State. There were a pretty good time for New York City as well, when we had Rudy Giuliani at the Helm there also.

So I think there is some nostalgia. I think there is the ability to win, and I think this is the year to do it. Cuomo, for all his faults, had a strong following. He had a lot of support there were Cuomo sexuals. There are no hocal sexuals out there in any corner of the Empire state. And without those devoted followers, and without that real devoted turnout model that Cuomo could have generated, I think it's going to

be more difficult than not for Kathey Hogel. Remember, there are only competitive general elections in November in the Republican ports parts of the state. So most of these congressional districts around New York City and in Buffalo, for example, and some of the inner cities aren't even having a competitive congressional race. So we do have some advantages we can work with, and I think we're in our best

position we've been in the past three cycles. What's the single most important If you had a look at one swing demographic in New York State that could be the deciding factor here, it's suburban women, and like I said before, a lot of them had issues with Donald Trump. I think politically speaking, the rov Wade decision doesn't necessarily help

us with that demographic. But these are all people who live in the suburbs, who commute to Manhattan every day, commute to different parts of the city, or someone in their family does, or someone in their family's a police officer or something like that, and they are as tuned in to the rising crime and dysfunction of New York

City as anyone who lives in the city proper. There are more people who have to come to New York City for business purposes or travel or pleasure or leisure a regular basis than there are who actually live in the city. So it's a big demographic of people who aren't really counted in the city, falling apart demographic that will have their one chance to weigh in on politics in November. Joe Morelli of Staten Island, good to see you, Sartin,

Thanks for being here, you two. Thank you. Jeffrey Epstein's right hand woman, Guillen Maxwell learned her faith today. We'll tell you about that long away to decision and more coming up in quickt A sentence in the Guillan Maxwell case and commedian Wanda Sykes has some shocking reasons why her life isn't so great in his time her quick hits. Um, Let's let's start with with Wanda Sykes, who is a name that I'm for Many of you know, she's famous,

She's rich. Um. One would think that she would be, and she's an American, what would think There's a lot of blessings to be thankful for. But Medy Wanda Sykes look a different tone when she was talking to Stephen Colbert reflecting on her life, and I was also interesting who she blamed it on watch. I'm a black, gay woman and I have a daughter, so I'm not doing so well right now. The problem is that middle stuff is those states in the middle that that read stuff.

Why did I get to tell us what to do when the majority of us live out you know, New York, California, and we're paying for all this cray it really, I mean, right, A lot of problems with the political analysis there in general. I know the left and the Libs hate to hear this or will ignore it, but you don't want to get your constitutional law analysis from comedians. Just as a basic rule of a rule of thumb, I think probably

a good place to be. But also in the blaming of the red states, it'sn't the oldest, most boring, ploy imaginable, right, Yes, blaming the red First of all, there are a lot of Democrats who leave in these so called red states, but it's neither here nor there. NBC News report came out today. Well here's just an NBC News report. Convicted sex traffier Geelan Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years in prison for recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually

abused by Jeffrey Epstein. Now, this is a this is a considerable prison sentence. I know there are people who will say that she should have gotten more. One problem, the one thing that's difficult to handle with the whole Epstein criminal saga is how is it that there were no other big names that were brought into this. Epstein and Maxwell were by all accounts, running a blackmail operation. Who were they blackmailing? Where is the evidence of the blackmail?

If you look into this, you'll find out that seems very strange that that never really came out, never really seemed to get it clear. So all the surveillance operations they had going on, who were they surveilling. We know that there were some people that had launched or went to the so called pedophile Island, but they say they didn't do anything. Well, actually, who was engaged in the activities here, the criminal activities with women who were being

sex trafficked? Never got that answer somehow seems strange to me. Hillary Clinton, by the way, is still making the rounds, and here she is with the usual or democracy is at stake blah blah blah. Watch I really can't. But what I don't know well, But what I can't imagine is staying as active and outspoken as I can, because I think I think our country is really on the

Precipice scale. I think that we are looking at not only the erosion of these rights, the throwing the door open to unfettered, unregulated gun access, but we're also looking at dismantling the federal government, how it protects our air and our water and everything else. Democracies at state. We're looking at the January sixth hearing. I do you think the democracy is a state as we sit here today? I do well anything come of these hearings. People say,

some say it's a waste of time. I think these hearings it is a waste of time unless you are a live wine mom without kids but cats who sits around all day watching the January sixth insurrection like it's a soap opera. Oh my gosh, any moment now ridiculous. But Hilary is ridiculous all the stuff she says there. Yes, our democracy is in such danger from unregulated gun buying, which she just touns so many laws about guns and canty. There are so many laws about guns that the Libs

can't even keep them straight. And that hasn't changed. All that's changed is you can play this game of you're not actually going to issue permits to law abiding citizens who want a carry permit for a handgun. Oh no, actually gonna make everybody safer.
