¶ Trump's Iran Strategy: No Uranium, No Deal
Meantime, Brascent says no sanctions relieved for Iran until y enriched uranium is handed over. This is very crucial. The negotiations with Iran have reached a point where basically everything is settled except for the fate of the uranium they've already enriched. And th this was a brilliant concept by Trump that it ch we should not be asking them, begging and pleading for them to say we swear, we swear, we swear.
Yeah, develop a bomb. We don't want to have a bomb. These the sewer uranium is entirely for our nuclear reactors that don't need it, that we don't need when we have all the soil. But the point is that the is that Trump is now saying Until you pass over this uranium, we're not we're not we're not making a deal. And the concept of the deal has changed. He is no longer entirely opening the Strait of Hormu the Straits of Hormuz.
Yeah, from the beginning that was kinda like the blazing saddle scene, you know, where the black sheriff says uh Don't shoot shot, but I'll kill the shot if they shoot the shot. You say and everybody says that was hilarious. Everybody says, Oh, come on, he means what he says. And uh that the the Straits of Moose thing reminds me of that. The US said that unless you uh cooperate, we will close the Straits of Homoos, we will raise our own gas prices, we will create a worldwide shortage of of oil.
And that will cause uh pain to Iran, but also cause pain to us. So now Trump is saying, No, we're gonna let the Straits be open. We won't let you charge at all. Uh there can be free flow. I'm gonna hold down the world flight price of oil. But you're not getting a dime from us. of the thirty four twenty four billion dollars we have in the US of frozen Iranian assets. And the more the the more the embargo continues, it became it's becoming clear that what Iran wants is the cash.
A former president like Barack Obama couldn't get that cash to him, could he?
Yeah, right. So so the so that it becoming clear that what they want is the money. And opening the Straits is nice. They would like to sell their oil uh but ultimately what they want is the money. And the reason they wanna sell their oil is of course money. So now Trump is saying no dust, no dollars. Unless you release the nuclear uranium uranium you have enriched and give it to the US or to another country.
I think I think it was then maybe the UK. Go on. Yeah.
I'm not going to really get and pay you a dollar of your frozen assets.
And the reason for that is because for forty years that's what they do. Okay, ceasefire, let's talk, we'll have negotiations, and then they blow something up or they do something.
Yeah.
They just stall for time.
Now Basent says nothing is on the table until we see the Straits of Wormuz open and the Iranians agree they have to turn over highly enriched uranium and they can't have a nuclear weapon. uh that's the first th that is necessary for there to be anything on the table. Right. And as what Trump would do, he said it's always impossible to predict. w we can one can see the president very clearly states three pr prerequisites.
And the president is a good idea. And he also said, The Trump's not gonna make a bad d deal for the American people. That's it. And that's what he does.
And at the same time the uh price of gas for American motorists has dropped twelve cents this week. But fourteen I think was something like that. And uh and th that's significant. And uh the price of Brent Crude, the oil, is now down below a hundred dollars a barrel, and increasingly the world is adjusting to the closures of the Strait of Home Moose. So I think that what Trump is doing really is basically raising the stakes with Iran.
And saying unless you turn over everything you've done in the last thirty years in defiance of international community unless you turn it over to us or to a neutral country We are not gonna give you a penny. That's it. No dust, no dollars.
Yeah, because they'll s they'll still stall him for weeks. Right. Or more. And he knows.
And he's basically saying now I don't care if you c open the streets, close the straights. If you open them I won't let you charge a toll for'em. Uh but the point is that you can open them or close them. The de there is no deal unless I see dust. Right.
And we have oil. Right. I I wonder what the backroom deal is with all these oil rig guys and manu and uh refineries. They must be opening up Trump must be talking to people that want to open up refineries that can refine our oil. I just don't know.
¶ Iran's Internal And Economic Collapse
We have plenty of oil. US produces uh about fourteen percent of the world's oil. Uh no more
I think there's more than that.
Thir thirty percent.
But that's not that that's not it though. It's refining it. We cannot refine our oil. We we are set up to refine the the the mud oil from we get from.
That's in Venezuela, but we have plenty of good oil. Right. Uh the other thing that's going on is that the paralysis in Iran uh is stopping any kind of deal from being done. It's almost impossible now to negotiate with Iran. The chronic order of discover of governance inside Iran is what's holding any kind of negotiation. An inability to make timely, decisive and rapid decisions.
Also they know that if they make a decision that the Mullers don't like, they get killed. Under such circumstances, the Trump administration may need to exercise greater transparency and caution in negotiations. whether the US reaches a deal with the Islamic Republic or not, Ilain will rash out in retaliation and try to assassinate Trump and his family. But the paralysis goes to bureaucratic paralysis. E even simple administrative tasks admired in delays and contradictory actions.
the image of a hesitant and insecure structure is eroding any public confidence. And most importantly, the Supreme Leader's prolonged disappearance fuels rumors that is either incapacitated or dead amid a tense geopolitical climate. Under such circumstances, the Trump administration may need to exercise greater transparency and negotiation in negotiations.
when the actual chain of command remains uncertain, and even regime affiliated outlets openly acknowledge the paralysis and fragmented decision making. Vague assurances from Iranian negotiators could produce misunderstandings and will not produce a deal.
Did you did you hear that I I think I'm not how true this is, that Trump was uh opened up a bar for the Iranian leaders and he's giving'em shots until they're they're bombed.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Come on, that was good.
Bassent says that the Iranian economy is collapsing and more pain is coming. He said that the that the that Iran is absolutely falling apart. Troops are not getting paid, police are not reporting for work. Karg Island, the refinery is shut down. The Iranian economy and currency and free fall. Uh He d he said that the Iran Persian Strait Authority is a joke and today Treasury has sanctions it. We've warned any corporate or state entities against paying tolls or hiding them as aid payments.
Forming a wall of steel. The US naval blockade has ensured a record low amount of uranium crude coming in the water. And just recently there was a report that there are one hundred oil one hundred million barrels of oil on ships that have been blocked from coming into the straits. So the uh So the the embargo's working. It's it's one of the more brilliant anti war measures you can imagine. Uh everybody said to Trump, Bomb the hell out of him, bomb'em back to the Stone Age.
And he basically said, It's my pleasure to do that, but every time I bomb'em they they just they make they make do with less. They uh they they c let their society collapse, they let their economy collapse.
What do you think is going to be?
Everything fall apart. And therefore the only thing that I'm gonna do is I'm not gonna give them a dime as their economy's falling apart unless they give me the nuclear dust. This yeah, but what this does basically is it takes thirty years of US policy, thirty years of mistakes under Obama and under Bush. and basically walks it back and says, You give me the u enriched uranium and then go away but I need that in rich uranium.
And putting his eye on that ball is absolutely key. This is not a question of what I didn't say or whether Redden commits to. It's a question of what happens with that enriched Uran.
And what Trump is gonna do about it, not what Iran's gonna do about it, what he's gonna do. But he must have some great, great people give in his ear, you know, to give him this kind of information. I mean y obviously he does what he's gonna do and he's a decision maker, but All these years of Obama and all these different administrations that just let these guys get away with everything they've gotten away with. Yeah. And he's not letting that happen.
Yeah, but uh at the start the United States kept saying we want you to commit not to have a nuclear weapon. And then and then they said we want you to promise you won't have a nuclear weapon. Okay, we promise. Yeah, but in the meantime I mean richer and richer and rich. And uh now Trump is basically saying I want that uranium.
I wanna see.
I I wanna own it. I wanna have it. I wanna see. I want to sit in Fort Knox right next to my gold supply. Yeah.
I want to see the buckets of uranium.
Right. So, um,
¶ DOJ Dismisses Proud Boys Charges: J6 Narrative Debunked
So uh the D. O. J. is gonna dismiss this bogus, seditious conspiracy charge with the the proud boys. The Trump Trump Department of Justice on Friday moved to dismiss that conspiracy charges against the Proud Boys for their actions on January sixth. This was long overdue. The Biden regime, Democrats, and the legacy media openly lied to the American public to create an entire narrative about January 6th that was utterly false.
They all knew it was false, but ran was it anyway. The Gateway pundit ran a clip in February of twenty five detailing how the decidful men And women of the Biden DOJ attempted to pressure Proud Boys leader Enrique Tario to lie in order to get President Trump. To his credit, Enrique refused to play a part in the evil scheme, so they sentenced him to twenty-two years in prison. Oh my goodness gracious. In kangaroo court.
If that wasn't bad enough, the only evidence the DOJ was able to produce to indict the Proud Boys was a document titled Seventeen Seventy Six Returns. That was written by the FBI and then inserted into the Proud Boys chat group to indict the pro-Trump group. Wow, this is unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Of right wing extremism. of the of a fascist takeover of the Charl the Charlottesville, Virginia riots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That the entire basis of the Biden candidacy was on, two or three national presidential events, was not only not true It was material created by the progressives, the bad guys, and planted on the proud boys to try to create the national narrative that they were trying a right wing takeover.
wanna see something happen, a consequence to those people that uh they know who did this, they know who figured out you know, who wrote these things up and the FD you know they know. I wanna see if someone go to jail or I wanna see a trial about this. I don't want this it just keeps going away for some we know we talk about this a lot. And we say, oh, this has happened and they're gonna indict this one and they're gonna indict that one. But I don't see any trials. I don't see any people in hand.
I will I think you will see Brennan in handcuffs. I hope so. I think you will see trials. But the important point here is that the entire narrative of the Biden campaign, the entire narrative of the Biden presidency, the entire narrative really of the anti Trump effort, the Trump derangement, is entirely based on a lie.
¶ January 6th: A Fabricated Extremism Narrative
But based on lies.
The main lie that there is a right wing conspiracy. Oh yeah, right. I was talking once to my neighbor in Connecticut and I said when when you look at all the stuff that they're doing, how can you be opposed to Trump? He said, I'm as worried about right wing extremism as left wing extremism. And he said, There is no right wing extremism. He said, Of course there is. There is constantly that.
And it's that myth, it's that fear that inspired Biden to give several T V addresses was the basis of Biden's campaign. And now it turns out that not only was it a lie, it was a plant. and that this stuff was planted uh on the left w on the right wingers to to encourage the notion of a conspiracy. And then connect this with the Charlie Kirk assassination. And you see the you see the connection between them.
Wow, yeah, I wanna see indictments myself. All right, we have to take a break. When we get back we'll talk more about this.

¶ Trump's Green Card Reform: Return Home
Trump administration says green card applicants have to return to their home country to get lawful status.
The administration announced on Friday new guidance for green card hopefuls in the United States that mandates they must return to their home country before seeking permanent lawful status. Department of Uh Homeland Secur Security claims the current policy which allows immigrants in the country on temporary visas to apply for permanent legal status from within the US. is a low pole that opens the system up for abuse. That's the problem right now.
Now the day after they said that, they clarified, Oh no, we're not saying everybody has to return to their home country. We're just saying that we've always had the authority to demand that someone come to their home country and now we're gonna use it more.
Right. And a and I'm sorry, you want me to go? Yeah. An an alien who is in the US temporarily and wants a green card must return to their home country to apply. DHS said in a statement. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The error of abusing our nation's immigration system is over. The development comes amid the Trump administration's effort to reduce immigration levels, including by deportation.
P deporting illegal immigrants. The White House Bordersar Holman, he's great that guy, said earlier this week that immigration and custom enforcement and federal partners have arrested six hundred and fifty thousand illegal immigrants since Trump took office, while eight hundred thousand have been removed from the Justice Department the US Justice Department's
uh move to swear in a record number of new immigration judges and that has compounded efforts to move cases through the courts swiftly and accelerate the final removal of le uh illegal immigrants. US citizens and immigration services which falls under DHS frame the latest policy change
on green cards this week as an effort that allows our immigration system to function as the law intended it. The department said that the change would free US CIS to focus on processing other cases including visas for victims of violent crime and and home and human trafficking and help make our system fairer and more efficient. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation's immigration system properly. USCIS spokesman Zach Kayla said.
What does that stand for US CIS? Do you know Dick?
The United States Customs and Immigration Service.
Oh, I said oh I shouldn't know that.
Yeah.
When aliens apply for their home country I I wonder how many people know that that are listening to this. You know what I mean? When aliens apply from their home country It reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the US legally, illegally, after being denied residency.
Non-immigrants like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas come to the U.S. for a short time and for specific purpose. Our system is designed for them to leave when their this visit is over here.
Th this is this is so important because instead of having the uh the whole concept of searching for illegal immigrants, policing the border, arresting them all of which is important. There is the back door. There is people who come here legally, settle here legally, and then stay. And they don't leave when the visa's up.
Yeah.
And over half of the illegal immigrants in the US were here on legal visas and then just overstayed the visas. And we had no system before Trump of telling who had left and who hadn't left. And as a result we hadn't we had no system to cleanse our system really of those who were here legally, but in effect illegally because they overstayed their visas. And now they're really changing that by saying you gotta return to your host country if you want legal status.
You know it's so important that we're not going to be able to Yeah, no, our law enforcement so many people have backing from this president, from the administration. There's backing. In other words, they can enforce this. And the people that are going out to do the enforcement know they have the administration backing them as opposed to Biden and Obama and all the other weak administrations that wouldn't back'em.
¶ NYC Mayor's Socialist Housing Takeover Plan
Now there is an entirely new strategy going on by Mamdami to take over New York City's housing supply and to give us a totally socialist economy. And uh it's it's a it's a totally new strategy. It really is kind of based on the idea that China has had in its Belt and Road initiative. Mhm. Where it says, We'll lend you money to build this port. We know you can't repay it, but that's okay.
will put a lien on your property and will seize when you can't your air and minerals when you can't and that's how you become a colony. Sure. What he's basically doing is he's stepping up code enforcement of on multiple dwellings. And his goal in stepping up is not to make the housing more reasonable, more affordable and make sure services are delivered. What's to set up the basis for confiscation? Yeah.
Okay. This is kinda like hold on. This is kinda like England also, with the castles, the rich people, they would put a tax on
Taxes when they can't pay.
But yeah, same type of thing.
Mundami put bad landlords on notice Tuesday, pledging to help transfer ownership of chronically neglected city. buildings to tenants as part of a new sprawling housing plan. When necessary, we'll take aggressive legal action to remove negligent donors and property managers uh block by block.
Ask for buildings that have su as for buildings that have suffered chronic will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non profits, or even the tenant themselves.
Yeah, that'll be responsible. Like the government t handle it.
This is a one sided pro ten plan that does absolutely nothing for thousands of distressed small and stabilized property owners whose next months will be saddled with the Mandami engineered rent phrase. for the rent guidelines board. The code enforcement section in particular is all politics and no real subject
Small owners are often victimized by tenant caused violations and denial of access to apartments. The latest Mandami housing scheme will deepen the distress of rent stabilized properties, the backbone of affordable housing. Wow. What so what Mandami's doing is he's making it impossible to be a landlord in New York.
He's freezing the rents. Nobody's freezing the taxes. Nobody's freezing the fuel costs. Nobody's freezing the maintenance costs. Right. But he is freezing the tax the rents that they can collect. And then as more and more properties fall into trouble, more and more properties are broke, more and more landlords can't pay for the repairs. Mandami is willing to seize the property, using the code enforcement as an excuse. and then transfer ownership to his favorite people.
Or the government, like the government does well.
This is a massive attempt to replace private landlords in New York with public housing. And we all know what a terrible job public housing does.
And he also the Big Apple real estate and business leaders blasted the plan's proposal to impose a strict f listen to this, forty dollars an hour minimum wage. For workers building city-funded affordable housing and giving nonprofits first crack at the private property sale. The twin proposals would undercut the moral imperative of adding two hundred thousand new homes to the city, argued this uh Steve Fullop, president of Partnership Partnership for New York.
So they're squeezing both ends of the deal. No rent increase and no and and no tax and no freeze on taxes. uh but on the other hand f encouraging all the efforts to uh increase the cost that the landlords face. And then when they can't do it, seize the property.
And the investors, the people that invest money into New York, are gonna say, I'm not gonna put any money into New York. They're squeezing them too. They they're not squeezing them, they're gonna go to Texas and invest their money somewhere else.
Using city funding we train housing activists on how to take over their buildings seems like a grave misuse of taxpayer dollars. another other example of the mayor inserting his far left ideology into the overall into the budget. The overall housing plan was developed in Manhatt by in City Hall by K Weaver, C A A E E A Weaver. Yeah. Weaver who previously called to abolish private property was integral to the plan.
Well she's getting it done.
His campaign promise to socialize housing is becoming a reality. He decides the people who are responsible stewards are eliminating property owners by taking the property and converting it into social housing. That's the new phrase, not public housing.
Oh yeah yeah.
When pressed as to what criteria would trigger the Mandami administration to get involved in the transfer of sales, city officials were snubbed. They refused to define how they define chronic when it comes to banned landlords. Whether Weaver will be the one to decide.
So you put a plan like this together and you don't even have that figured out, how we're gonna figure out
Well it's how Mundami takes over the city's housing supply. And bear in mind two things that animate this. First forty percent of New York's population is foreign born. So there's no heritage of capitalism, there's no heritage of belief in the market system. And secondly, New York City has such an influx of people from around the world.
at least has until now, as the financial capital of the world that Mandami thinks he can get away with this. He thinks he can get away with so socializing the housing industry. that nobody comes into that people nobody wants to come into New York, but they're gonna be forced to because of the gl go global economy.
Splendous, you what do you mean? Before some. Yeah.
You can't do business if you're not there, but not for long.
Not for long, Texas and Florida.
¶ Corporate Exodus: ExxonMobil Leaves Blue States
Tell'em about the Exxon story. Which one? That that the board of Exxon has just voted to leave New York City.
Alright.
I don't know. We I don't have that story, do you? Okay. Oh yeah. Here's another big black eye for the woeful northeast. It's it's also the biggest No brainer shareholder vote you will ever see. New Jersey is an anti-business and high tax blue state that hates fossil fuels and brings sham climate change and lawsuits against the company.
Texas is a business friendly red state with low taxes that embraces oil and gas. For a business to keep its legal um thing in the state that hates their product would be an act of supreme malfeasance.
And that's why over the next decade ex an Exon shareholders and workers are voting to leave New York and New Jersey.
So where's Van Dami saying that people are aren't gonna leave? Our only question is what took so long for X?
They held so they sell they held a shareholders' vote uh in Exxon and seventy one percent said leave New Jersey. Turn mobile shareholders crushed the evil proxy voting services in a landslide seventy one percent vote of support for moving from New Jersey to Texas. Wow. In every way this is a financially responsible and shareholder friendly outcome.
The fact that ISS and Glass Lewis urge to vote against the move only reinforces our assessment that these proxy advisors are hopelessly woke and routinely spit out rotten advice. that would make shareholders poorer. It's as if they work for AOC. Our conclusion is that every bank and financial institution has a fiduciary duty to stop paying the money.
Earlier the year we at UP started giving a thumbs up or thumbs down rating for banks and large financial institutions before the proxy vote on shareholder resolutions. We do it for free. We of course agreed a yes vote on Exxon's departure from New Jersey. So increasingly the the shareholders are working or overcoming the fiduciaries.
The the companies would say, Oh, we have a we we have the share we're run by the shareholders and to do that we'll bring in fiduciaries, people who have only the best interests of the company at heart to give the best advice they possibly can. And now the Conservatives are saying, That's not what you're doing. What you're doing is you're putting fiduciaries in charge who really aren't fiduciaries.
They're ruling not in the best interest of the company. They're slavish to the woke ideology. Really? And what we're gonna do is we're gonna get the shareholders to stop using you as a fiduciary service. Stop paying you. And we will have votes of shareholders which will be real democracy.
You talk about Exxon
Exxon, a whole bunch of companies. And they just did this this with Ex Exxon and they said we are now going to have votes of the shareholders of Exxon to leave New Jersey and move to Tex. And your fiduciaries tell us this is bad for the company, you shouldn't do this, and we're not only overruling them, we're firing the fiduciary.
Are they independent workers, fiduciaries?
Yeah, the contract.
The contract and then then they get them to come in.
And it's just the idea that they're acting in the best interests of the shareholders. In fact they're not. They're not. The slaves to the woke ideology. So increasingly so what's going on here is Mandami is saying You can't leave New York because of who we are, the power and prestige that we have in the global economy. And the private sector is now saying the hell we can't. We will. We're moving. Goodbye. See you later. You're in the rearview mirror.
And he's saying, but your fiduciaries, the people charged with advising you or telling you to stay in New York. And they're saying these fiduciaries are paid for by the extreme left. They're owners they're owned by the by the um the the progressive movement. So we're not gonna listen to them. We're gonna do this on our own.
And we're going to leave New York and we're going to leave New Jersey. And then Mundami is making is is basically making them leave by code enforcement, by saying that I'm gonna make it impossible to have Beland.
He's in for a big surprise, this m z moron.
No, he's not. He's gonna be do exactly what he wants, which is he'll have a socialist city. Oh yeah. You fall apart.
Oh my god.
Anybody who stays here is totally screwed. There won't be services, there won't be heat, there won't be repairs, there won't be anything. We'll all be run like the housing authority, which is the worst management in the world. Uh, we're gonna be absolutely settled with that. And Mandami will encourage it and will enforce that to happen by code enforcement.
Wow, I wonder if the people have voted for the right.
At the same time the left.
Uh
Because the shareholders will vote to leave. That's it. So this is an absolute formula for the destruction of a city.
You know, yeah.
It's brilliant.
No yeah, for uh for him. But you know what? This is where we need Bruce Blakeman. I wish he was listening to us right now, he would call up. This is where we need him. We we're gonna break in a second, Dick. In about thirty seconds we're gonna break.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is why.
W it is. It absolutely is. But Montami is being so skillful. Oh yeah. He's saying, I'm not gonna take I'm not gonna take over housing. I'm gonna just enforce the code. I'm gonna just make sure that the housing is decent, that he is provided services are provided. Then what I'm gonna do is cut off rent increases, freeze rents.
And tell them you guys make it work and if you don't I'll take the property. And then he's telling the companies, I don't care if you leave here, in fact I'm gonna make you leave here and make you get rid of the fiduciaries that are telling you to stay.
You think he's got people in his ear? And he's doing this himself.
Maybe, but this is absolutely brilliant what he's doing.
That's why I'm saying that's why I'm asking that question.
If he has people in his ear that Mao Z dung.
That's what I call'em. Mousey I call'em mouse dung. Mouse mousey dung. All right, we're gonna take a break and uh we'll have more jokes for you afterwards.

¶ Historical Reflection: Whitman And Deep Throat
O me, O life, of the questions of these recurring, of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities filled with the foolish. that you are here, that life exists and your identity. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. Born today in eighteen nineteen, Walt Whitman, known as an American iconic poet, journalist, and father of the free verse, wrote these words in eighteen sixty seven.
There were many on this day historic moments that I could have shared. However, in personal freedom I chose these two. The first US copyright law passed today in seventeen ninety. seemed was of great importance, helping to establish the first foundation of protection for the work of US citizens providing the sole right for authors. President George Washington signed it into federal law today, having three main connections to this historic legislation.
He urged its creation, he gave the bill federal authority, his works became a legal focal point decades later. In eighteen forty one, his own personal letters became the central landmark in a legal case defining the modern concept of fair use in US copyright law. And so here we are.
We're living in a world where Walt Whitman's writings, visionary George Washington still evokes emotional resonance. In politics in modern technology of social media, AI, it continues to connect specific messages of human truth. or not truth. However, it's that zing that your gut to all the listeners when you know something just feels right. And so we need not continue this direction of unrest, violence, fear, division, but to vote in
like they were talking about, Dick and Doug, those who will reestablish, restore, return our country to that which we recognize and remember. In George Washington's own words in conclusion, quote, the constitution is the guide which I will never abandon and so it is. But I just wanted to add one more quick thing. Uh not that many might remember, but there was a code name, Deep Throat. during the Watergate scandal. And his name was Mark Felt. He was a former associate director of the FBI.
He's the guy who leaked that sensitive information to the reporters or the Washington Post. But no one knew who he was and then he was exposed in two thousand five on this day. Um, but for decades h his identity was guarded.
Wow. I have a great story to add to that.
Wa hold on. Roxana told me you were gonna do this.
There's there's a guy named Stan Pottinger who died a year ago. Ah he's great. And uh Stan was the uh deputy attorney general under Nixon. And uh he knew who Deep Throat was. He um he he had found I deduced it by questioning him during the gr during grand jury appearance. And his answers indicated that he probably was deep throat. And a grand juror asked him a question, said, Are you deep throat?
Oh yeah, it's fine.
Yes, Felt. Uh huh. Are you deep throat? And Mark Felt asked to confer with Pottinger and told Pottinger I am, but I can't say it. Right. So Pottinger got the juror to withdraw the question. And then that evening a Woodward from Woodward and Bernstein called Pottinger and said, Let's have dinner and they had dinner and he told Pottinger that deep throat was Mark Felt. Right. Well the reason Mark Felt was anxious to do this was that he was eager to let to to sta take the FBI away from J. Yahoover.
and to restore its fairness. And he was the deputy director of the FBI and was determined that it not be part of the Nixon Watergate cover up in the Nixon Watergate scandal. Uh because he wanted to protect the integrity of the coun of the FBI. And he kept his identity secret for like twenty or thirty years. The whole country wondered who Deep Throat was. Who was this guy and his motive was a very positive one.
And he ultimately helped the FBI avoid the FBI was going to be taken apart because everybody was gonna blame it for Watergate. And Nixon would escape blame for Watergate because he could pin it on the FBI and Mark Phelps stopped this.
It wasn't exposed until two thousand five. Wow.
Ciao.
That it was kept, you know, even though there was intense speculation, it was kept under wraps uh for decades.
And and no but very few people guessed that it was Mark Phouls. At the very end they did, but for a long time they didn't.
Wow, that's amazing that you just see this absolutely no.
And Stan Pottinger Thank you, Roxanne, that was great. And Stan Pottinger was I got to meet him quite a few times also because Dick knew him very well. He lived near you, right? Yeah.
sex or whatever. Mm-hmm.
And uh he was such a smart guy in perf great shape too and he just passed away a year ago.
I used to tell him the job that he his day job was he was the Assistant Attorney General in charge of s under civil rights. for Richard Nixon. Right. The f the f the post that Dalmet now has, that wonderful woman. Uhhuh. And I said, But you were the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights under Nixon, that's a f polite way of saying you were unemployed. Oh.
I thought it was Linda Lovelace.
Um well when we come back there's more evidence that Trump corporate tax cuts are working and we'll talk about that.

¶ Democratic Party's Internal Rift: Moving Left
Doug DePiro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. Just a comment about the demonstrations going on in New Jersey against ICE. There was recently a very important poll that showed that when they they poll asked Democrats, exclusively Democrats. Uh, do you think the party should move to the right move to the center on issues like immigration and gender identity? And dem and half of the Democrats said yes, it should move to the right.
half weren't sure, some said move to the left. But forty seven percent of the Democrats in the country said the Democratic Party needed to move to the center on this. Of course they won't. They'll stay at the left. The reason they're gonna stay at the left is because half of their constituency wants them to stay to the left.
Really think?
That's what the half of the Democrats are.
That's right.
And that's what the poll says. Half say yes and half say no. So they're absolutely trapped. Wow. If they do move to the center, they'll lose their liberals, and if they don't move to the center, they'll lose the country.
And
The and when the left pulls off demonstrations like this crazy demonstration in New Jersey against the detention center and when Mickey, the governor of New Jersey a woman a allows it to be prolonged. Uh this is killing the Democrats. All of these polls about is Trump going to control Congress? Uh based on his ratings. How how's he doing on inflation? How's he doing on the war? How's he doing on Iran?
All of that is half of the question, less than half the question. The other half is how are the Democrats doing? Yeah, right. And increasingly there's evidence that the Democrats are absolutely falling apart on these issues. And when y as you approach election day, the issue is not do you approve of Trump, but do you approve of Trump or the Democrats in Congress. And increasingly on issues like immigration and gender identity, uh Democrats are failing that test.
And as Ezra we're gonna do fine in the midterm elections. Trump is gonna win those elections because it's clear that the Democrats are absolutely failing and will have to punt on that.
You know, Mickey Sherrill, this half and half right there. She's got a man first name and a woman last name.
Yeah, make your
Cheryl. So what's going on? Hey, listen. Um I was at Trump Tower for breakfast this morning. First of all, you really have to go to the Trump Grill. It's the best food. I'm telling you, in the city. And the and the executive chef was Trump's chef, Cammy. I love her. She's unbelievable. But um Barry that runs the whole Trump Tower, he's one of the head managers.
He had a great idea. You know, we have a um this parade and the parade goes up and down Fifth Avenue and you know Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue. And man would I tell you there's lockdown, there's all kinds of stuff going on, impossible to get across the street. Barry said it's a great idea. Why not put the parade at fifty ninth Street, right? At um
S uh s uh Central Park South, right? On Fifth Avenue, going north to what is it, a hundred and tenth Street is Central Park North. Is that am I right with that? To to one ten. Make a left, go to Central Park West, and go to you could have the parade and everyone stands around Central Park. They're in C. absolutely one of the best formulas for for the parades because it destroys the city. All the businesses around town lose. Who do we talk to?
Right, we talk to the whole world. And then the Zoran Mandami, I just saw the news just now while we even break that he's not showing up at the parade and what a creepy dude.
¶ Trump Tax Cuts: Corporate Profits And Revenue
Meanwhile, the crown jewel of the Trump tax cut was the reduction of the tax rate on corporate profits from thirty five percent, the highest in the world, to twenty one percent, slightly below the global average. Now profits after the tax cut are at an all time level compared to the size of the economy. And they began the current surge In twenty nineteen, following Trump's tax cut, he points out another hidden benefit of the corporate tax cut.
Despite the sizable cut in tax rates, corporate tax payments to Treasury rose from a low of one hundred and eighty nine billion in the twelve months ending nineteen June nineteenth june nineteenth. to five hundred and sixteen billion in twelve months ending August twenty four, an increase of a hundred and seventy three percent. So, art laugh or take a bow. When the rates are cut, the tax revenues increase. When you raise rates, tax revenues decrease.
And that was proven during the uh Clinton administration when he balanced the budget using that by cutting the capital gains tax rate and increasing capital gains tax. And now there's evidence that this is what happened with the Trump tax cut of his first term.
And I also want to throw out the the call in number. It's eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two two. Eight hundred eight four eight nine two two two two two two two two two two two two two two. And one more thing. We're talking about um On the news also when we were on the break I heard where they said it was how many years since uh that they were thinking about the people that are having problem with nine eleven.
You know, the cleanup paper and whatnot. And I wanna say God bless Rudy Giuliani. Part of his problem when he was in a hospital last month was From that they think, you know, what is uh what did he have? A pneumonia or God bless you.
Yeah.
All time. Okay, we have to take a break. Hey Rudy, just saying hello.

You know, Jack B.
effort to uh to talk about conditions in the ICE detention center in New Jersey and to promise visitation, to promise meals, to promise all kinds of stuff. is an effort to normalize the idea that these people who've committed crimes have largely been ordered deported, have stayed in the country, been rearrested, and ICE has put them in a detention facility awaiting b extradition and deportation out of the country.
is all an effort by the left to normalize this and to make it seem as if these are just ordinary people who've been locked up on the street and need to be protected.
And also what the left is doing here is making it they're trying to make it look like uh that getting tortured, water board and you know, they got bread and water, that's all you got.
And they're not and these are people who've most have all committed one crime and basically now committing two.
That's right. Yeah. That's right. And uh but the the left has to make it sound like, oh my God, you know, just like what the s sanctuary cities and what they do is they they open up hotels for these people and you
But but it's ultimately helping Trump because Absolute the Democrats want don't want their party to do that.
And I look forward to it.
Half of them want their party to move to the center. Right. You split the Democratic Party right down the middle when you do this.
They look like little babies sometimes the way they talk. Listen, we got Mike from Saint James speaking about sanctuary states. Oh Mike, what's up? How ya doin'? Hello, Michael. Are you there? Mike from Saint James. No good. Did we lose him, uh Matt? We lost him. All right, let's take Sandra. She's got something good. You were coming after him anyway, Sandra. How you doing?
I'm doing I'm doing well, thank you. I I attempted to go to the parade but there was no way you can get in. The roads were all broken.
Or unbelievable.
Yeah. So I I I wanted to say I wanted to give a a nice report on Donald Trump's health. Not everyone's gonna be happy, but most of us will be, that he has a beautiful bill of health. He's
Very
Very healthy. Seventy nine years old. He weighs a hundred and two hundred and thirty eight pounds. He's uh six foot three inches tall. His blood pressure is uh se one oh five over seventy one.
one hundred five over seventy one. Yeah.
No, that can't be a good one.
Wait, wait, wait let me read this again. Hold on.
Pretty low.
It's it says it says here one oh five slash seventy one. So I don't know.
That's great. No, you can have that.
It's fantastic. It's amazing.
Okay. So he um has very strong cardiac, uh, pulmonary, neurological and e everything is terrific in the house. He he's able to do all the physical functions during his uh
How many eighty year olds would love to get a report like that? Yeah. It's unbelievable.
It it gets better. So his cognitive and physical performance is excellent. He continues to have slight lower leg swelling, much less than last year. So that's improved. Now let me tell you something.
¶ Connecticut Candidate: Jonathan DeBarros Interview
He gets those hand bruises because I believe those handshakes. As a recruiter, I would always tell my candidates, make sure you give a firm handshake. All the time.
That's why.
My hands are getting blue. Okay, yeah, that's it. the uh uh I uh I I agree with that. But we have uh
We got Jonathan Tabaros on and uh
This this guy is running for Congress in in Connecticut and uh he's running in Waterbury and in Danbury. Mhm. And he's a black Republican running for in the primary. And the Republican Party establishment is trying to push a guy named Shays, who is running. Uh largely I think on the strength of of a name recognition, of confusion, people thinking he's the former congressman, but he's not. Mm-hmm. And uh I think that that uh Richard has a wonderful chance of winning.
You're talking about John DeBarr?
John De Barros has a wonderful chance of winning and it's in the district that used to be Republican. The uh yeah, the the the district the district he's running in was Republican for many years.
And it went...
And then one Democrat and now he's trying to take it back.
So Jonathan, are you on? How are you?
Good a good afternoon. Thank you for allowing me to to speak to your listening audience and it's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you, John.
So tell us about the convention of the state where they tried to keep you off the ballot but you insisted and you now are running.
Well the the the GOP establishment in Connecticut hasn't won a federal election in over twenty years. And now I see why. Um they ran three rhinos against me trying to split the delegate votes. I had to go to forty one cities and towns, um, to all the Republican town committees in my district, in the fifth congressional district.
and I some of them I was blackballed, I couldn't even go into because they already established who they wanted to run on the ticket. They had a polished um politician Well not a polished politician, but a polished um Navy cell who they're trying to transform into a politician to basically um Um it's a political grift. They just wanna make as much money as they possibly can and then when they lose they could blame the cities once again. You know, I'm the first candidate.
um on the Republican um line that has been campaigning aggressively against the Democrats on their own turf. I call'em all out. I call out the governor, I call out William Tong, who's our attorney general, who has been filing Um countless.
I mean to say the the reason that I love your candidacy is that we're sit we're sitting here in the aftermath of a Supreme Court decision, uh Louisiana versus Calais. which insists that you cannot use race you can't gerrymander districts based on race. You can't gerrymander to increase black governance, black congressmen. And the result is that you have virtually all the congressmen I think all the congressmen in America who are black are republi are Democrat.
And uh the and and the point is that we no longer need race to keep black cop participation. If we didn't germ into these districts and we had free districts, where blacks and whites who both run. Candidates like uh Jonathan would win. And uh I want I think we should demonstrate that by having the Republican Party elect a black as the congressman for Waterberry, for Danbury and so on.
And who are you gonna go after once you become Congressman, Jonathan? And before you even answer that, um, do you have a site for people to go on to whether they fund you or whatever they need to do? Do you have something?
Yes, please. I own my website is The Barrels for Congress. Um, gmail.com, that's my email address, but my website is the barrelsforcogress.org.
How do you spell your last name?
It's D as in Dav David, E as in Edward, B as in Boy, A R R O S S O Congress dot or g that's my website and there's contribution links on that page. You could donate to me on winred anadot. Also if you want to send a check, the P.O. box is there. But you just have to download download a form that's attached so that you can send inside your form. So when I do my monthly, um my quarterly files with FEC, everything's on.
This is this is the seat that was represented before by uh what was his name? Frank the Black. Gary Franks, who was a very good congressman and was defeated. And he they used to have a meeting of the black caucus in the House and it was thirty nine Democrats and one Republican, Gary Franks.
Wow.
Then the uh then the Connecticut uh legislature gerrymanded the district further and made it impossible for Franks to win reelection.
¶ DeBarros' Platform: Law Enforcement And Freedoms
Yeah, Jonathan is running out.
I want to know what it is.
Very important that he went.
What do you got, Jonathan?
A platform is all about putting the teeth back in law enforcement's mouth so they can do their job. um securing our borders. We got over two hundred thousand illegals currently residing in our state. I want to enforce federal law in the fifth congressional district and let ICE do their job. In the state of Connecticut they passed a bill in which
our local law enforcement and our state law enforcement cannot cooperate with ICE which I feel as though is unconstitutional and if I was law enforcement in the state of Connecticut I would have lost my job already. So Yeah, I'm gonna enforce federal law. I'm gonna protect um the home school parents. They're violating their constitutional liberties as well. And they're actually forcing them now to get vaccinated, adults and children. Really? So yeah.
Really?
Yeah, tell us about this vaccination. What, the new covet they're talking about, which isn't real also?
Yeah, so they just passed a uh a a new bill in our state capital in which they're they're gonna start requiring um if there's ever another pandemic as we know, um but you know, they they're gonna they're gonna try to force adults and children to have to get vaccinated. And the way they're probably gonna go about doing that is the to make sure that the um businesses
So they'll they'll lose it if you don't get vaccinated you lose your job. So and then they'll put penalties probably on the businesses. So this is what they're they're gearing up for. Um they just passed a new Glock ban in which they're taking um um away from um
ご視聴ありがとうございました
Gun owners. Wow. And they pushed out a lot of gun manufacturers out of our state and a lot of gun owners um go gun stores are going out of business. So their whole plan is to p push a communist Marxist agenda in our state and they want to disarm American um citizens in our state. But look at this. In the city of Danbury where we have a a mayor who came to our country proudly, illegally, became a citizen, now he's the mayor and he's the chairman of the State Democratic Party.
He just made it lawful that Docker children to become police officers in the city of New Um of Day.
What's his name?
No. Um, Roberto A Elf.
Mm-hmm.
And this this guy's a freaking psychopath. So you gonna tell me you're gonna disarm American citizens but give guns to DACA children so that they could arrest American citizens?
Wow. Incredible. Well, thank you. Thank you, Richard. Enjoyed having you.
John.
Yeah, John DeBar.
He's looking in the mirror, Richard Morris.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, John. We'll keep you in one more one more time with your uh website or whatever.

I'll get your name right.
¶ Voter ID And Deportations: Reshaping Elections
A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for Donald Trump to implement executive order tightening mail in voting, slapping down democratic arguments for now, that federal efforts to police voter rolls. with citizenship checks were illegal. US District Court Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointed jurist, ruled that Democrats failed to show that they have standing at present by to challenge the order.
the but Nicholas rejected several but but the the point is that he cleared the way for Trump citizenship check. Um this is the effort that uh that Doug De Piro here has done a great deal to make sure that only citizens are voting. Yeah. And we need this very badly in the midterm elections. When you have you also have Trump Save Bill, which requires voter ID to register and uh and it's a federal law for federal elections.
And uh into increasingly the uh group of Republicans in the c in the ha in the Senate have opposed a filibuster rule uh and let the filibuster continue to kill the Save Act. And their rationale is simply that what'll happen one day when the Democrats take over the Senate, we need this the filibuster to stop them from admitting Puerto Rico as a state and to
All kinds of horrible things. But the fact of the matter is that we're not losing the Senate. We're gonna keep the Senate in this election. I think we'll expand our lead in the Senate. And I think that that and therefore the President is right for pushing the Save Act. And uh a big factor in his decision to endorse Ken Paxton for Senate and uh and oppose uh the Rhinos is his desire to see the SAVE Act pass.
And I think now they're going to do it. They're going to do it by a procedure with a uh reconciliation where they can do it bypassing the filibuster. And if the Save Act is passed, it makes a huge difference in the elections. When you combine Trump's deportation of hundred of millions of illegal immigrants, and you combine the Supreme Court's decision that districts should be drawn, not based on race.
And then you pass the Save Act that requires voter I D. There is no way in hell the Democrats win the midterm election.
But Dick, my system will work a thousand times better now, you know, where basically what I put together w uh uh in the twenty four, right, was Signs all over the uh the areas where we were worried about illegals coming in and voting. Twenty one million I think, right? We were told they were gonna they could vote the motor voter. I we I we put all over the place what whether it be those trucks with the digital signs or regular signs or billboards that said
If you vote, if you're legal and you vote, we're gonna we're gonna track you, we're gonna find you, we're gonna throw you out of the country, all kinds of stuff. All kinda so I believe so many people that read these signs that were illegals or friends of said, Whoa, whoa. Stay home, drink your beer and watch the No, but hold on. And what I'm saying is now what what Trump is saying and how he's going about with this deportation, that'll really work. Right. We put signs.
It really will. And you have to realize that the nation has had a vast decrease in population in the Blue State. a vast increase in the red states. We don't know the full extent of it because the twenty thirty census will give us that data. But this is a massive change. Two or three million people have left California. Almost two million have left New York State. They moved to Florida, they moved to Texas.
The problem is they're gonna vote. I know that.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good thing. And that combined with the Save Act, combined with the enforcement of citizenship, combined with all of the stuff. Is basically changing our Congress from a cliffhanger fifty fifty to a massive Republican
Um listen, we gotta take a break. We'll talk more about this when we get back. This is very interesting.

¶ AI Driving Job Growth, Not Losses
Welcome to the Dick Morris Doug DePiro show.
Sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. Uh AI, artificial intelligence, is actually driving a hiring boom. It's not driving people out of work as people have feared. AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code. So it's now being used across more businesses, industries, and use applications and use cases. We're at the beginning of a massive productivity boom from the proliferation of from the proliferation of software throughout the entire economy.
Coding has been the AI breakout use case this year. The fact that it's increased demand for software engineers rather than decreased it should call in question the entire AI will cause massive job losses. Our advice to young people who want to get ahead in the twenty first century is learn data structures and how to code. The the whole cycle on AI is reminiscent of all technology that's been introduced where the establishment says, Oh, this is gonna cost jobs, this is gonna kill us.
And uh the same thing with uh with every industry. Uh the a the in technical advances increase employment, they don't decrease
You know, years ago, you know, I I I w worked in the city all my life, get on a train and I remember when the ticket takers all of a sudden they had the machines where you can get the tickets from the machine. And I was sitting with a guy and he goes, Oh my god, we're gonna lose jobs and this and that I go, No you're not. Those people that are at the stations that take the tickets, they're gonna lose their jobs. But jobs are gonna
start up with people that build those machines, people that have to uh deliver those machines, that have to maintain those machines. And the guy looked at me and he was a business guy. He was a suit, you know, an older dude. And he goes, you know what, you got something there. And that's the same thing here. You need just like you said, when some technology comes out technology comes out, you need people to learn how to program that stuff.
Fix that stuff, build the buildings for this electrical stuff that makes this things happen. Absolutely.
And in all cities in the country other than New York, technology improves productivity.
Absolutely.
And and creates jobs. Not in New York because we may Mandami. But in the rest of the country it does. And uh and I think that that this this is absolutely a change in in the way the economy is functioning and it's gonna be very, very positive for employment.
Absolutely. And other and people that are looking for employment. young kids that are thinking about school. All right, go to school for that type of thing. But also go to school for as a carpenter, as a mechanic, as a HVAC guy. You know, you want a job. You'll have a job building buildings and and uh
you know, fixing cars and whatnot. There's gonna be a lot of jobs out there. So this is all you know it's also the scare tactic that people like to use. Oh my God, look going on. What are you gonna do? You you're not gonna stop this um technology.
¶ NATO Allies' Failure To Cooperate With US
Trump is on a jihad now against the NATO countries that have done nothing to help us with our energy embargo against Iran. We're doing this embargo in the first place because of the Straits of Hormuz that the US does not need we domestically have our oil and gas. We don't need the Straits of Hammuz. That's right. We're doing this to help other countries. And the other countries, the NATO countries they were helping, are doing absolutely nothing to help us.
Is this fourteen we're talking about? All right, so uh the enemies of the United States have learned that President Trump is not to be taken lightly. And according to the German News Outlet report Tuesday, the country's allies are getting the same message from Secretary of War Pete Hexetz. Action have consequences, just like elections that Barack Obama said.
Furious and frustrated with the North American Treaty Alliance that only seems to go away, the Trump administration is cutting the number of weapon systems it's willing to contribute to NATO actions. Um, in the air the US will have
Well half.
Oh well half. Ah, I thought it was a typo. In the air the US will half the number of strategic bombers.
It makes available for the Alliance. It'll reduce the number of fighter jets by a third. At sea the Navy will contribute fewer destroyers and cut out submarines entirely. And when it comes to reconnaissance drones, the Europeans will have to come up with their own. It isn't hard to see why. The so called Allies have been a no show for the US in fighting with Iran.
beholden to their own swelling Muslim populations and historical antipathy toward Israel, NATO countries have been unwilling to insist in any meaningful way. As the leftist UK Guardian reported Friday.
Spain refused to allow US bases in the country or its airspace to be used for the attack on Iran, while France only allowed airstrikes, air tankers and other supported aircraft to be used from the The UK permitted the US Air Force to bomb n Iranian missile launchers and any other military assets, but it's the furthest any country has gone in allowing US bombing.
German Chancellor Frederick Morris, meanwhile in April, said Trump is being humiliated by the Iranians while offering precious little to help. As the Associated with Press reported in April, Germany has offered minesweepers to help clear the Straits of Lamours, but the offer is good only when the fighting is over. With friends like that, who needs alliances? The Daily Mail, a conservative news outlet, described the European reaction to the headline as panic.
The US government accounts for roughly sixty two percent of total defense spending in NATO, with an annual military budget of almost a trillion dollars.
Let's just say that again. Sixty two thirds. That's what the we're popping up. That's what we're putting down.
And uh sixty two percent. There are thirty two countries in NATO and one country, the US, pays almost two thirds of the bill.
Unbelievable.
And for the overse for the oversized contribution, what does it get for it? Talk to the handle.
refusal to cooperate from Spain and France. So we pay two thirds and then Spain and France drink their wine and whatever Spain does. A limited grudging willingness to go along from the UK and from Germany it gets unconstructive results. That's nothing particularly new, of course. The Europeans have shown a similar lack of enthusiasm to help the United States and Israel for generations during seventy three Young Kipper War.
Yeah.
For instance, the United States supplied Israel with uh vitally needed military equipment by air and its European allies uh expect Portugal. Hold on a second. European air, except for Portugal, closed their airspace. For thirty-two days the US Air Force flew weapons, ammunitions, tanks, and artillery from the US to the Portuguese controlled Azores.
He was and then to Israel crossing the Mediterranean in its center to avoid the airspace of allies in the north and hostile to hostile nations to the south. Other American presidents have gotten used to the idea that the NATO alliance is a one-way street, essentially permitting the American taxpayer to foot the bill for European defense.
which in turn allows European governments to use their own money to pay for social welfare programs, which will attract large numbers of Muslim immigrants and make their countries more and more pro Muslim.
And what Trump is doing basically is saying if you want American protection you gotta pay for it. You gotta protect. And when Trump announced he was pulling five thousand NATO troops out of Germany and transferring them to Poland, noting that Germany wasn't helping the US in the war and Poland was and that NATO was frustrated by the German refusal to help them.
Why do we have thirty thousand plus US troops in NATO in Germany and none in Poland? Right. And he's calling to change that. And that is sending the Europeans into a total and complete panic. Yeah.
Pay up, pal. You want something? Pay up. Right. That's what we're gonna do. So y let's go to the phones. What do you say, Dick? Um Jack in New York. What's up, Jack?
Hey guys, how are you?
God.
I was just looking to get a answer on the supremacy clause and how it relates to sanctuary cities. Why are the cities, the blue states, able to I mean there's no sanctuary law.
I don't I don't think they should be. I think the Supreme I think the Supreme Court will knock that down. Um I would expect in the next term you'll see cases that will stop cities and states from banning federal law enforcement in their areas. The reason the court hasn't acted yet is that there is no challenge to it. The federal government has the right to in enforce its laws, and states and cities do, but the federal supremacy remains.
And now I think that the demonstrators and the crazies and the deliberate m the left uh the woke left are demonstrating in you at this this detention center in New Jersey. It's very clear that they are trying to upend the supremacy clause of the constitution. But the supremacy clause is very, very clear. State and local acts cannot be supreme to federal policies. And nowhere is this more evident than in immigration.
And uh I think that you're absolutely right and with named Jack. And yeah, and I think Jack that you're going to see the Supreme Court coming this way.
So I can't believe it hasn't been done yet. That's the thing that just gnaws at me. very much.
Yeah, it hasn't been done yet in part because you don't have first you haven't had Trump challenging it, and now you do. And the local DAs and the local prosecutors are gonna side with the sanctuary type. Uh but I think now it's it's absolutely become intolerable and we have got to reinforce the idea of federal supremacy on Iceland.
I think you can see that. And bear in mind, Jack, that three million illegals have been deported in the United States despite Sanctuary City legislation. Another million have voluntarily left. But um why is the crime rate down? Why are there fewer murders? Why is every city, including New York, safer than it used to be? Because of deportation.'Cause we just don't have
Backing by the administration.
Yeah, we just don't have as many criminals in the United States because we're deporting them.
You know, a lot of people want to know about the sanctuary city stuff. We got Joseph in Connecticut that wants to uh also talk about sanctuary cities. Hey Joseph.
Well, good day, Dick and Doug. Uh first of all the uh Mr Dabaris would be uh a god sent, would be a total blessing to the state if he could get elected it'd be fantastic.
Where are you located, Joe?
I'm in Fairfield, town of Fairfield. I I worked as assistant registrar in other uh jobs for m many years, so I see the uh the possibility uh almost the impossibility of a Republican getting elected, but that's another story. I do want to talk about Sanctuary Cities and what uh Secretary Mullen, uh Mark Mullen has done uh trying to take uh customs out of the airports where in the sanctuary cities. Now something that I think I I was thinking about that maybe we overlooked. We we worked
We looked at we focused on those illegals coming in over the borders, whether it's Mexico or Canada. What about the illegal what about the people that are flying in here to San
Thank you very much.
I lived in the Bronx for forty years. How did the demographics change so much? I've been up here thirty years. How did it change so much that they got this guy elected as as the mayor? How did the demographic in my town
Forty percent of all New Yorkers were not born in the United States.
That's a big problem.
We covered that earlier in the show. Uh the there is increasingly an effort to the INS, the ICE Homeland Security just ruled. that if you're in the United States on some tourist visa or work permit, you gotta return to your home s country after you in order to apply for citizenship. And uh that's increasingly going to Cause a crackdown on that four.
And what else you talk about?
Well, if I I go down to the Bronx uh and I've of uh I I like I said
Revenue.
years ago.
Well yeah, never Authority I'm uh Palm Park Realiton Avenue. I belong I used to belong to the Knights of Columbus and uh Mark Carmel there, so I know Arthur Arabia and I taught at Fordham for twenty years so I know There's a siren here. So um when I go down there and I see the demographics totally changed within the last fifty How does that happen? How many people if you go go uh walk through that area, Palm Park, Ray Alton Avenue
uh Morris Park. You can see a big difference. It used to be mostly Italian, Irish, Jewish, uh uh Puerto Rican and black. The demographics are totally different. How did that happen in fifteen years? Maybe twenty.
झाल झाल झाल
It happens so fast. I my theory is they're flying in to Sanctuary Cities and they're not being sorta followed and they're loose. They're all over the place. You can go down there, it looks like uh the Middle East.
half of all people who were illegal before Trump took office, I don't know about now w came here ill came here illegally and overstayed their visa. And uh I think that that that's what you're saying.
You know, took pictures at Westchester Airport like after midnight when the government the federal government was sending people from Westchester Airport, you know, illegal illegals and all type of people. All to different cities in New York. Yeah. You know, upstate
Well that's how Minnesota came to be. That's how Minnesota became a Somalian country. Right. And and the uh and the
Talk about that. That was Barack Obama, wasn't it? Yeah.
And the whole idea was that everybody said what we've got to do is to protect these Somalians, they're being discriminated against Civil war going on in Africa. Uhhuh. We've got to protect provide them with sanctuary. And as a result, the Bush administration uh opened the doors, a Biden administration opened the doors and we had uh millions, hundreds of thousands of Somalis come into the US, not under the immigration laws, and not even by flooding the laws. But admitted legally as refugees.
Isn't Omar inbred Omar Somalian?
Exactly. And what and what Biden did was that he flew them to Minnesota and he deliberately created a pocket in Minnesota that the that the left would control because of the Somalian residence.
That was like nine billion dollars later.
And and he did that and then they stole money. They supported themselves by cracking open the federal treasury and setting up welfare programs run by the state. protected by the state, protected by the Democrats in the state capitol at Waltz.
And and the learning center that they couldn't spell it properly, some learning center.
Children Centre and there wasn't there weren't any children there. And so the the scam was say that Somalia's in serious trouble. demand that the caps on refugee admissions be lifted because of their um humanitarian needs. Let or let them all into the country, fly them to Minnesota, let them settle there. and let them establish a democratic foothold in a swing state that would make Minnesota no longer a swing state and make it a left wing democratic state.
Did the Biden administration have legislation pushed to that, or it just did
Did not need legislation. He uh he did it because of the president's power to regulate refugees. And uh by calling a refugee program and not immigration he was able to do a loophole and let everybody in. Trump has now closed that, but after this whole sub after the country of Somalia
A yeah.
Over a million, but
Over a million. I thought you were going to say a hundred thousand, eighty.
Нет, нет, нет, нет. And that's how this uh that's how what's her name? Omi
Omar, inbred Omar. She married her brother, father, son.
Yeah. That's how she got elected. Yeah. And we need to deport her. We need to deport her for immigration fraud. That I think will be very effective.
We have to take a break. Thank you, Joe. That was great. Thank you very much. We're going to take a break.

Welcome to the Dick Morris and Doug DePiro show sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. You know, we have seen in the last couple of weeks how little inflation is actually controlling the vote in the midterm election. Uh, everybody was freaked at the idea that with the Iran war gas prices would go up and they did go up by about sixty or seventy cents a gallon. But now they've come down. Uh these gas prices are now almost twenty cents lower than they were at the start of the war.
And it's clear that this has not crippled the economy. That the economic indicators for the last couple of m weeks have been very solid. The economic growth has been great. The labour market has been moving up. Consumer spending jumped half a percent compared with last month. uh after justing for inflation, uh consumer spending uh has increased. Aggregate wages and salaries rose a quarter of a percent in April and were up four percent from a year ago.
private sector wages and salaries rose sw rose a quarter of a percent and four percent up from a year ago. So the idea that inflation is destroying Trump and destroying the midterm elections is simply not true. Uh the American people are taking the inflation gas prices in stride. They're coming down. People are understanding that they will come down. And Trump is gonna let them come down by saying, I don't give a damn about the Straits of Hormuz.
All I care about is the radioactive enriched material that Iran has so that they don't have a bomb.
And I think that's where people also are understanding that these guys do not have a bomb anymore, so uh extra couple of dollars f filling up my car, I'll deal with that for a couple of months. I don't care as long as I'm gonna be alive to do it.
¶ US Energy Independence And Global Impact
Yeah, and the United States has so increased its energy production. Absolutely the strategy of drill baby drill and not paying attention to climate change and fossil fuel restrictions. is going to increase our gas supply and our oil supply so much that we're going to be immune to this stuff in the future.
Let me ask you a question. We we talked about this. We sh we should do this every show. What do you think if Kamala Harris was president right now, all these things that are you think right now Israel will be blown off the map?
Well I'll tell you look at the stat. The United States produced four million barrels of oil a day in the uh ten years ago. Now it's fourteen million barrels of oil, about four million barrels more every day under Trump. And we're not allowing deep sea mining, we're allowing off coast drilling, we're allowing the Alaska pipeline, we're doing we're moving fracking legislation. Every state that lets us, not New York but other states.
And the result of this is that the United States is becoming its own OPEC, its own energy economy. And we will not have to depend on OPEC or the Arabs for energy relief. We'll be able to do it ourselves.
You know what would be a good TV show? to have um elections where Trump wins and you see what he's doing and then all of a sudden you you you you flash back to where Kamala wins and they have a full show an hour of what's happening in the country there. Exactly.
Two things basically, the deportation of millions of people on the one hand, and the opening of the offshore and uh fracking and uh deep sea mining to oil uh production. And the combination, the United States becoming the world's largest oil producers, which we are now by a lot. Didn't used to be before Trump, but we are now. and the deportation of three million people that shouldn't be here and shouldn't have been here. And the pathology of decreasing class sizes, helping schools
uh and uh and all of the changes that are coming about. Those two statistics, the increase in oil production and the deportation of people who shouldn't be here, are totally changing America. And by the way, they can change politics too.
Hold on, hold on. It's bringing America back.
Yeah.
Yeah. That's what's not chang they've changed the Democrats changed America doing this, bringing these people in and not drilling, and now we're going back to a beautiful America that w we had twenty, thirty years ago.
the politics is gonna change too. The concept that the House of Representatives is fifty fifty and we need to draw these lines and draw amended this district, that's all old. That this is the last cycle we're gonna have to do that.
¶ America's Conservative Shift And Realignment
Because the 2030 census is clearly coming in with tremendous gains for the red states.
Can we believe in that right now?
I mean it it takes until twenty thirty for it to happen, although Trump may succeed in moving it up. But the point is that that the House of Representatives, if you make it a fair case. You eliminate the illegal immigrants, you el who are counted in the population. They can't vote but they can they're counted in reapportionment and you and you uh change fundamentally the system. The Republicans will control the House of Representatives by twenty or thirty or forty votes.
It's unbelievable.
Was a study the other day that said that if you had fair apportionment in the US and you long no longer had majority minority districts. and you no longer had left garage gerrymandering. The Republicans would control the House by about thirty or forty seats. And I think that that is the future that's likely.
You know what's amazing with this stick? You know, it's gonna and it's it's gonna go fast. It's gonna go pretty quickly that we're turning this around. Marcuse, whatever this guy's name with the the the slow march, the long march, whatever, right? That took fifty, sixty years. changing this in four years, three years,'cause a so many people are now because of you and talking about this so much. So many people are seeing that.
fifty, sixty years of this and it's like horrible. And now they all feel like wow, like when like I said, I'm bet there's a lot of Democrats that sighed relief when he won. I and
When you combine throwing three million people who shouldn't be here out of the country and then you you have high taxes in the blue state. and low taxes in the Red States and you keep the taxes low by keeping illegals out of the country. Uh you're changing the fundamental dynamics of America. Which is going to make the US a conservative place, not a walker place.
Just a mindset alone. All right, we have to take a break and we'll when we come back we'll talk some more.

So you heard that news, huh?
No, it's it they they're saying it is, but it's not. What it is is that it has always been discretionary for the uh DHS. to decide who has to return to their home country to get a green card or to become a US citizen. It's always been discretionary.
Yeah, but that seems like...
And the the and the federal the DHS said last week, it's up to the discretion of each agent and everybody reacted and said, Oh my God, we all gotta go back to our home country And DHS calmed them down and said, No, it's always been the policy to leave it up to each individual Well, however you do it. The point is that there is no big new requirement that you have to go back to your home country.
Uh that was a but but there may be just but it's discretionary and you may see a move by immigration officials to require people to do that and that's all the story is really about.
¶ Democratic Constituency Discontent And Elections
Let's go.
Yeah, I want I want to talk about something else. The this poll that was taken by New York Times, Siena Pole, which is I think one of the most reliable. did a sample where they excluded Republicans or Independents, and they only asked Democrats or Democratic leaning voters. Only asked Democrats. And they said, What do you think of the legislation being passed by the Democrats in Congress?
Do you think that they're too left? Do you think they need to move to the center more? Sure. And they ask particularly about immigration and gender policy. Okay. And the Democrats who answered the poll, half of them, fifty forty seven percent of them. said, I don't like how left the Democratic Party has become. I wanted to move to the center. Eighteen percent said I wanted to move further left. Twenty something percent said I like it as it is.
But the point is that half of the Democratic voters in this country do not like their party moving to the left. half of the Democrats in this country do not agree with their party on immigration or on gender identity. And this change, which is gonna be reflected in the midterms, is enormous.
It means that on the key issues that are affecting our country, the Democratic Party has moved so far to the left that it has left its own constituents behind and that that is why they are going to lose the election.
Do you think it's that's strong enough that a good percentage of them will go to the right, to the Republican side?
Yes, exactly.
Is that a possibility?
Yes, I do, and I think it is happening. But before it happens they're gonna vote that way.
What do you mean?
Democratic. Republican.
Mm-hmm.
Mm and I think that's one of the big reasons Trump won in twenty four, and it's one of the big reasons that he's going to win in twenty six. Right now yeah. And I think that that this is the hidden this is one of the most significant poles I've ever seen. Because it really shows that the Democratic leadership has left its constituency behind. Not the moderates, not the independents, not the minorities, not the Republicans, but the Democrat constituency has left They're party bike.
Like uh was it Reagan that said it? I didn't leave the Democratic Party, they left me. Was it Reagan?
It was, yeah. And in the in this poll, thirty six percent of the black voters said the Democrats should move to the center. And forty six percent of the Latino voters said forty six percent said the Democratic Party should move to the center. So the black and the Latino vote and the liberal base of the Democratic Party is running out on them. And that is the huge change.
Well the the the Latin, Spanish are C la left their countries, we say this all the time. Because of they didn't like their government and the socialism and all that and they're seeing that happen here. I don't understand the black community yet.
The answer there is is gender. Uh black women are staying Democrat. Black men are becoming Republican. Because black women are basically saying I want someone to support me, to take care of me, to protect me.
Marry the government. Yeah. Sort of.
And as a result the black woman vice president, the black woman Supreme Court judges, and there is nothing going on for black men.
Interesting. Well, Dick Morris, thank you very much. It's an honor to be here and thank you, Roxana, on the rocks. Uh, I think we did okay. Not bad. I wish I could have got we had a couple more callers, but you know how it goes. Thank you so much. Bye bye. Bye. Bye bye.
