I'm Josh Hammer, and this is the Josh Hammer Show. It wasn't long ago that the Democrat Lawfair complex under the auspices of President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and epic scumbag quote unquote special counsel Jack Smith. It was not that long ago that they were putting Donald Trump and others, but namely the then past and future President Donald Trump. They're putting him through the ringer in
every possible way imaginable. During the height of the Democrat Lawfair from twenty twenty three into twenty twenty four, Donald Trump was being prosecuted in not one, not two, not three, but four different jurisdiction. Jack Smith was pressing federal charges against President Trump in both Washington, d C. And in the state of Florida. You had Alvin Bragg, the Soros funded hack Alvin Bragg in New York City pursuing charges on the whole storm of Daniels Michael Cohen's quote unquote
fraudulent bookkeeping saga. And then you had Fannie Willis with her lover Nathan Wade in Fulton County, Georgia, the home of Orlanda. You had them there pursuing Rico charges. Rico the statute that Congress first advised to go after LaCOSA Nostra or the mafia. Yes, apparently they thought in Fulton County, Georgia, that this would be a good statute to use to prosecute Donald Trump and his allies who litigated the twenty
twenty election. Just utterly astounding stuff. Well before you knew it, Before you knew it, the Democrat law fair complex was up in flames. Jack Smith was disqualified as the special council in the Florida litigation if the Florida case that he brought was the action stemming from the unprecedented mar Lago raid in August of twenty twenty two. This is a case pertaining to Donald Trump's allegedly allegedly illegal stashing and hoarding of classified documents as a holdover from his
time in the White House from his first term. Well, it was in the summer of twenty twenty four that the Florida case was dismissed because the judge, Judge Cannon in the Southern Dition of Florida, dismissed it because she said, citing a Clarence Thomas concurrence of the US Supreme Court in the Trump versus the United States case, Judge Cadden persuasively argued that Jacksmith was actually not properly appointed as a special counsel. Ultimately, Jack Smith, of his own accord,
ends up withdrawing the DC case. The DC case being his crown jewel. This is his prosecution, essentially alleging a stolen election and have various forms of conspiracy to defraud the United States. This is all essentially about January sixth. This is really the January sixth prosecution. Well well, well, well, Jack Smith hadn't heard a whole lot from that guy. Have we the tip of the spear, the tip of
the spear of the Democrat lawfare compicts. You see, think about Joe Biden as the Palpatine and Merrick Garland essentially as the Darth Vader. They were really the one two punch who were who were overlooking all of this. And when I say all of it, I actually mean all of it. We have barely only scratched the surface with what we know thus far about the extent of coronation and collusion between these federal prosecutions and the state and
local prosecutions. I'm actually not even talking about the civil case, the civil case that has since gone from Attorney General Tis James in New York State, that's actually not even a prosecution. It's technically a civil case. This is the case against the Trump organization for allegedly trying to defraud financial institutions when it comes to bank clons. Even holding that aside, we have barely scratched the surface of what we know about the coordination between Jack Smith and Fannie
Willis and Alvin Bragg, the two local prosecutors. We know from Jim Jordan, the congressman from Ohio, who was able to obtain records showing that there was an unusual amount of visitation of the Biden White House from Alvin Bragg and or Fannie Willis. Who were they meeting. Were they meeting with the White House Counsel's office, Were they meeting
with the big guy himself. There's a lot left to uncoffer and as part of this investigation to try to learn the truth about just what exactly went down during those those horrific years where the Democrat law fair complex took this country to unprecedented, unprecedented, un shartered places. When it comes to the use of the prosecutorial power of the States in order to target an attempt to bankrupt and incarcerate your political enemies. We are barely barely getting
this ship rolling and House Republicans had Jack Smith. We haven't heard from him in a while. He trotted out before the House Juuary Committee on Thursday, January twenty seconds, and boy was it a doozy. There was just a lot of back and forth from this hearing so much good stuff to talk about. Brandon Gill, recent guest here on the Josh Hammer Show, Connors and Brandy Gill going
absolutely scorched earth on Jack Smith. A lot of absolute fire in that exchange from Congressman Gill, Congressman ship Roy, someone else who was very, very very animated about what Jack Smith was doing as a result of his January sixth probe, which is very closely tied to the still ongoing extent of our attempt to learn more about Arctic frost, which again was this January sixth related fish nets, this fish net of the Merrick Garland era DOJ trying to
subpoena and acquire a lot of information, essentially just trying to figure out who was involved in any extent whatsoever when it comes to January sixth, the worst day in the history of humanity and events, Congressman Ship Roy, much like his former boss and his fellow Texan Ted Cruz, recently found out that his phone records were apparently subpoena As a result of this, Jack Smith, Merri Garland, doj Arctic Frost, hullablu. Here was Congressman ship Roy grilling Jacksmith? Boy?
Was he animated? Go ahead and watch this one?
Is this the complete list right here? Let me ask you this, Am I on this list? Did you target my records and subpoena my phone tool records?
My understanding is your records were subpoenaed by prosecutors before I became Special counsel.
Well's Stafford put this up on the screen. Thankful for the great staff who discovered the email where I learned for the first time a few weeks ago, did my phone records were indeed targeted? We called AT and T and we've learned that they were given to the Department of Justice, as this email indicates, because I had been in communication with Scott Perry. What are my colleagues here in Congress who literally had his phone taken from him in front of his family, and of course that we've
already talked about in this document. It talks about you could be in violation the privilege by even obtaining and possessing this information if the member objected to the disclosure. This happened four years ago, in May of twenty twenty two, and I couldn't object because I didn't know. I didn't know until about three weeks ago.
And Chip Roy actually went on and on in this exchange, and he's obviously anime and as he should be, both fat that he was caught up in this outrageous Arctic frost drage. Another amazing point that comic Manroy mede in that exchange was he noted that Jack Smith, you were actually disqualified. You were disqualified from the Florida case by Judge Aileen Cannon. His appeal never ended up materialized when the clock essentially ran out. Well, we recently had a
case where another another acting used a turn. In this case, the Trump nominated Lindsay Halligan in Virginia. She was also ruled she was incorrectly ruled, but she was ruled nonetheless to be improperly serving as he was attorney after the clock right now. The weeds are not part of our conversation here. But the federal judge in that case ruled that a prosecutor who continues to sign his or her name in court filings after a disqualification order should face
disciplinary action or disbarment. And as chip Roy said, the Jack Smith, isn't that like, bro isn't it literally exactly what you did? And Jack Smith had no answer whatsoever. I mentioned Congressman Brandon Gil, Chiproy's colleague from the text Republican delegation, and boy, Congressman Gil really was just letting it up. Yet again. Let's go ahead and ask you watch a clip of Brandon Gill just ripping into Jacksmith.
How many days after Kevin McCarthy was sworn in his speaker did you subpoena his records?
I don't recall, but those two things had nothing.
It was sixteen days after becoming the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, usubpoenaed his toll records. Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a violation of the speech of debate clause?
I do not, and I want to be clear that the toll we.
Were collecting month's worth of phone data on the Republican Speaker of the House, the leader of the opposition, right after he got sworn in as speaker, all around the time of a major vote. That sounds like a flagrant violation of the speech or debate clause to me, and I think most people agree with me. And Speaker McCarthy had no recourse, did he, because you issued a non disclosure order ensuring that neither he nor any of the American people knew about the subpoenas.
Is that right?
The toll record, the non content toll record subpoena is we did secure non disclosure orders for those subpoenas. You did.
And let me ask you, mister Smith, at the time you secured those non disclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?
The non disclosure order was based on concerns about it.
Was Speaker McCarthy a flight she was not all right?
So just brutal stuff there again, subpeding the opposition party Speaker of the House. I mean, who does Jacksmith frankly think that he is And don't just take it actually from the Republican congressional delegations. Actually was CNN's own in house legal analyst Ellie Honig, who actually herself conceded on CNN that Jacksmith didn't look so great about his attempt to rush these prosecutions prior to the election. Let's go ahead and fire this one on from CNN to your.
Question, Brianna, the last congressman we saw point brought up the fact that Jack Smith demanded a trial date four months out, five months out in a case involving thirteen million pages of documents. There is no defense layer in the country who can constitutionally prepare for trial and defend his client on that short of time frame. And the implication was you were rushing to get this in before
the twenty twenty four election. Jacksmith did not defend himself, by the way, he didn't say a word about that, which I found straight. Yeah, it's true, right, it's true exactly, and before the election exactly. And Jacksmith has always maintained this veneer that he never thought about the election. Of course he did. Why would you demand such a quick trial day?
Okay, so the jig is up. The jig is up, Jack, That's really what we're getting at here. The jig is just totally up. You've been exposed for what many of us knew. You were all along a complete and utter partisan hack, the front facing part of the Biden Garland Democrat law fair phalanx, taking us to the rudeous brink of tinpot Latin American dictatorship sub Saharan Africa. Incarcerate, prosecute, and destroy your political opponents under the quote unquote rule
of law by any means necessary. Jack Smith, if he had any if he had any sense of decency, any sense of shame, would hide his head in a bag for the rest of his adult's life. Frankly, he should go back to Holland, which memory serves where he actually came back the United States from he was living in Europe. Unbelievable stuff. So now what now?
What?
I want to see charges filed. I want to see investigations further and charge just filed. I want to know, and I think most American voters want to know the exact extent of the collusion between Jack Smith, Fannie Willis, Alvin Bragg, and potentially others. Maybe it's James who knows. Let's see where the inquiry leads. There are statutes on the book for this. There's a criminal Statute eighteen US Code, Section two forty one, a criminal conspiracy against rights where
you conspire to deny the constitutional rights of others. Well, that's what they did in this particular case. They're the speedy trial, the speedy trial clause. That's constitution rights, free speech, definitely constitution rights. I want to see charges brought. The American people need justice. How many massive scandals can we endure without getting justice or any accountability and just go on like as nothing. No, the time for justice is now.
And in this case, justice means ending politicized justice and actually getting charges filed and the investigators continuing. When it comes to the dirt bag, quote unquote Roney, Special Council Jack Smith say with us, with the break, folks, we will be right back. Welcome back. So the big story in Washington, d c. Itself today, addition to the fallout from Jack Smith's really fire interrogation yesterday at the House Usual Community, the big story today is that this is
the annual March for Life. So, first of all, God bless you if you are there in Washington C. If you are marching for life, in the March for Life. I have not actually ever participated in the Washington d C Big National March for Life. I participated in other
local marches for Life. I most clearly remember doing so in Chicago when I was in law school in Chicago, when it was really really could it happens in January every year, it happens on the anniversary of the Roe versus Wade decision from nineteen seventy three, and I just remember going out with some of my classmates who were also involved as I was in the Law Students for Life chapter. I remember going out there in downtown Chicago in quite literally sub zero temperatures. But it's worth it.
It's really worth it, because there is nothing more important Franklin in the realm of policy, policy and law then this particular issue. I mean, how could it be forget about faith? For a second, Faith is obviously deeply important. We're all about faith on the show. We're all about the religion. Religion, We're all about the Bible. My syndicate a calm that just came out earlier today. You can find that out that Newsweek, various sale media properties such as town Hall, PG Media and so forth.
There.
My comm today is about the Ten Commandments litigation in the US corpiols for the fifth circuit, which which we discussed earlier this week on the Josh Ammershow so, we're all about faith, but you don't even need to go through a biblical or religious lens in order to land on the right side of the pro life issue. I've been passionate about this issue for so so long, since well before I had my own religious observant awakening in Adulton.
Because all you need is a modicum of common sense, a modicum of understanding of a basic biology, a basic embryology. You know, I was reading this, I got acquainted connected to this PhD student at the University of Chicago, if memory serves it was there in Northwestern won the Chicago based schools, and he got PhD at this point probably six seven years ago. And his studies dissertation that he did was, among things today, was he took a global
survey of biologists. His survey was roughly four to five thousand biologists there, and he asked them, among other questions, when does life begin, and the percentage who said the life begins at fertilization, which made pro lifers call conception. It's the same thing. The egg is fertilized, there the percentage of the biologists PhDs who said fertilization was over ninety five percent. I don't hear the exact number, but
it was really, really, really high. There is no debate in the scientific literature that life as we recognize it, meaning a distinct genetic code, distinct DNA, et cetera, forms at the moment that sperm fertilizes egg. And it is perhaps for that reason that the pro life fight has
always been about trying to end abortion. You know, there was this information operation that happens around the time of the Jackson Versus Women's Health Formance decision, the massive Supreme Court decision at the Court that came out in the summer of twenty twenty two, three and a half years ago. Now, there was this misinformation operation coming from the left. Oh, you guys won. Okay, you know, like golf clap. You know, we hate it, but you guys won. There you got
abortion kicked back. The States say it's no longer a Fourteenth Amendments constitutionalized issue. There, game over. Let's call it truce, to which I said, uh, what truce? This is not the result here, buddy. I'm really happy. I'm really really happy that the Dobbs case went the way it did.
Trust me, in fact, was actually my own former boss, Judge James Hoe, of these corpials for the Fifth Circuit, who sat on the lower court panel in the Fifth Circuit out of this underlying Mississippi abortion law that ends up getting litigated there. So I followed that case very very closely from its earliest instantiation. By the way, a sign note before we proceed, I think it's also important to note that we still don't have an answer. By the way, to the leak, I mean, I think like
I'm the only one who still thinks about this. There was a leak of the sam Alito Penn's majority draft opinion in the Dobbs case. That thing leaked to Josh Gerstein and his co author of Politico. In early May twenty twenty two. The Court did some sham investigation, some internal investigation where they said, our hands are tied. We don't know what we're doing here. What I mean, the pool of people who this could be is literally under one hundred. We're talking like sixty to seventy eighty people.
The most the justice, they're lawkirks, the janitorial staff, I mean, the list of people who possibly could have had access to that is really small. We should know, we really, really really should know who leaked that opinion. And I think the travesty Frankie that we don't know who it is. But in any event, Dobbs comes out and it's a very standard history and tradition originalistic opinion from Justice Leo.
There the issue kicks back to the legislatures. Legislature is implural, by the way, not just the States, but also the Congress. Congress has an absolute role to play when it comes to abortional legislation. Do not let anyone tell you that there is no role to play for Congress when it
comes to trying to legislate on the abortion issue. Section five to the Fourteenth Amendments, known as the Enforcement Clause, permits Congress to legislate to enforce sections one through four of the Fourteenth Amendments as necessary.
Well.
Section one fourteen Amendments has the Equal Protection Clause, which says that all persons must be treated equally purposiest of the law. I'd argue for many years actually that under the original understanding of the Equal Protection Clause of eighteen sixty eight that unborn human beings ought to be construed as persons. Congress should legislate, and God willing, ideally you'll have a court who actually rule on these fourteen Amendment
lines for constitutional parenthood, constitutional personhood. Excuse me, because that really is what ought to happen.
Now.
The jodministrant has recently been something of a mixed bag when it comes to the pro life issue. So just this week, timing it to the March for Life, administration to the great credit, is announcing that they are expanding what's known as the Mexico City policies. So the Mexico City policy is a long standing ban on US taxpayer subsization of abortions overseas, essentially ever since Ronald Reague announced
this thing back in nineteen eighty four. You have Republican presidents that institute it, Democrat presidents that rescind it, Republican presidences put it back in. It's basically just an ever, just a total never ending seesaw. So the trumpministration correctly and laudably nobly expanding the Mesco Citney policy now to cover not just subsization for abortions overseas, but also subsization for gender ideology and DEI programs overseas as well. So
that's very good. Unfortunately, some other stuff administration has been less good. So recently, Donald Trump speaking at the Kennedy Center or the Trump Kenny Center, I guess as we're renaming it. Trump was talking to Republicans in Congress, encouraging them to be flexible on the Hide Amendment. Well, the High Amendment is a long standing provision that prevents US
taxpayer subsization of abortion. Domestically, that there will be no taxpayer funds that subsize abortion through Medicaid, Medicare, or Title ten or any other federal programs. That would be a disaster. There's no need to go weak on the High Amendment, the notion that American should not be subsidizing abortion. It's actually a very politically popular issue. Republicans do not run away from that for a second. That, with all due
spectmister President, that is very very bad advice. It would be a tragic error, and frankly, it would just be a total disaster. Similarly, it seems to me that the FDA and HHS more generally, under Secretary Bobby Kennedy and his underlings there at the FDA are going way way too soft on the abortion pill, on MiFi pristone, which is known to have extremely dangerous side effects. There, biff a pristone should not be readily publicly available. You should not be able to just walk into a CVS or
a Walgreens and obtain this drug. It's a legitimate debate as to whether or not, if abortion is illegal, should this be legal in the first place? There, I think a lot of us, frankly would say notes that, but at a bare minimum, at a bare minimum, this is not a safe, effective, necessary medication as the abortion law describes it. There, and Josh Hawley has been at the tip of the sphere of the Republican legislators pushing back
against that, to his great credit. Now, the broader point is this to take us back to the March for life and Dobbs and Roe versus Wait, we're not stopping. We in the pro life community, and I've been passed by this issue for my entire adult life. I consider lightlave Rose a friend. I've spoken with the Live Action conferences. I found that my Lastuents Live chapter, I'm all in on the right to life issue. We are not stopping until there is abortion abolition in America. We are not
stopping until abortion goes the way of chattel slavery. Yes, those two issues actually are essentially one and the same. Slavery was the subjugation of human beings, treating some human beings as not human beings. Abortion similarly is to treat smaller, tiny, microscopic human beings as if they are not human beings legally, speaking of the exact same fabricated, made up constitutional standard,
so called substant due process. That's what gave us slavery again in dred Scott's and that's what gave us abortion Roverswade. The similarities keep on going. Fundamentally, the question is not one of states' rights or, as Stephen Douglas would have put it, popular sovereignty. Fundamentally, the question is, as Douglas's great rival, Abraham Lincoln put it in an eighteen fifty four speech, whether or in that context a black man is or is not a man? The state's rights or
popular sovereignty is a dodge. The moral truth of the matter, is the unborn person a man, a human being or not? We know through our faculties, through a moral intuition, through biology itself. The answer that question is yes, and we will keep on fighting until that's protected under the rule of law. Stay with us with the break, folks, We'll
be right back on the other side. Welcome back. So if the pro life fight is the moral and legal crown jewel of all of our contemporary policy and legal fights, it is the immigration issue that is a cultural and civilizational epicenter. These are really two of the issues that, in mindsmation, define what it means to be conservative, what it means to be on the right. And immigration, as bargain in the show Countless Times, is the one issue, the one issue that touches on every single other issue
under the sun. There's a reason that I care so much about. It's similar to the pro life issue. Immigration is the issue that affects wages. It affects is the labor market. It affects supply and demand for labor and for all other goods. It affects day to day security when it comes to whether we have criminal aliens, people who we do not know, who have not been vetted here in the country. Is an issue that affects national security.
Who do we have here who we are letting in to affect our policymakers and affect all the levers of power in Washington, See and so forth. It certainly affects culture, everything down from language to day to day customers, mannerisms, how we think about American civics, American sense of self, et cetera. And most importantly, it gets the very nature of who we are. Who is the we, the people that are sovereign in this country per the preamble of
the United States Constitution. So I care a lot about immigration, and I've been following the Trump ministrations immigration efforts since day one. I olthough we would kind of just pause and take stock a little bit of how things are going thus far for the Trump miministration when it comes to an immigration perspective. And I started thinking about this a lot because just a truly delectable headline, a delectable headline that I saw just with pastcal days, which is
that Mahmu Koldili. You remember him, the utter miscreant, the malcontent, the former Columbia University graduate student there of some sort of Syrian background who became just a total total stooge of the of the pro Hamas Kafia clad cause there, known primarily for his shrieking about the Zionists and the Jews, and the this and the that there. The Trump minstration has been trying to deport this guy for almost a year now, which, by the way, first thing is note insane, insane.
These are political questions. For two centuries the United States, the courts did not get involved when it comes in immigration law. There's a long standing doctrine in federal courts known as the plenary power doctrine, which essentially means that the political branches Article on in the Congress and Article two the executive branch have cleinaries that that is to say, absolute power and when it comes to the ability and the discretion, so if they are so inclined to an
extent to enforce this nation's immigration laws. That's why, properly speaking, I've been arguing for a long time that this actually I don't think really such thing as guaranteed Article three judicial review when it comes to immigration enforcement. Legislation of congressponds to legislation on top of that, and say, okay, the court should have I say, here, that's their progative. They're allowed to legislate in that arena there, that's not
constitutionally required. In fact, the very first time, the very first time I love this fact, the very first time that the United States Supreme Court ever ever said that a federal immigration statute was unconstitutional. It came in two thy eighteen, the first Trump term, in a case called Sessions versus Demaya, which is a constitutional void for Vaguans statute.
It was actually really our first indication that Neil gors sister is going to go a little wobbly when it came to legal aliens, and eventually we learned to have been the boss dot case transgenderism. Neither here nor there anyway in saying that the courts have been as involved as they are. The immigration issue is really ground zero of what I refer to as the anti Trump digital insurrection.
But they've been trying so hard. Mark Rubio was talking a lot in those early months about mach mu Khalil, who is the embodiment, the embodiment of someone who should not be here. Is here on a visa. It doesn't matter whether it's a green card, whether it's a Taurus visa. Who cares, You're not a citizen. You're here as legal alien, and you are cheering on the US recognized foreign terrorist organizations. I got news for you buddy out, like literally leave,
get the heck out of here. And people say due process, due process. No, that's not how it works. If you are an alien, I would argue legal or illegal. There's a case in nineteen fifty three at the Upreme Court, a case called Shaughnessy, Justice Robert Jackson. Just Robert Jackson, by the way, who was known as a champion of due process, who was the prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials against the Nazis there, this guy is no kind of anti due process slouch, so he writes in this immigration
case called Shaughnessy versus the United States ex. Real Mese in nineteen fifty three, Justice Robert Jackson writes, quote due process. It does not invest any alien with the right to enter the United States, nor confer on those admitted the right to remain against the national will. You see that the national will when the national will meaning we the people. There's that thing again, when we the people say Sayonara, sucker,
you're out of there now. If Congress wants to provide additional additional due process appard, if Congress wants to say that you have a guaranteed Article three, Federal Court hearing to contest a deportation proceeding. I guess they're within their rights to do that. That would be utterly asinine. I have no idea why in the world they would ever do such a thing. But we the people do fundamentally
call the shots here when it comes to immigration. So apparently Mack Mukhalil, he gets back to where we start here, he's finally going. He's going all the way to Algeria. I absolutely just love this. So Tristia McLoughlin, who is the DHS Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs, said about Mack muccleil quote, it looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now. So it looks like he will probably go to Algeria. I just love this.
I can't help a smile. Hopefully there will be much much more to come, the so called Maryland man, Kilmar Abrigo Garcia. Hopefully that guy leaves and never comes back. Hopefully all these other pro Hamas freaks, these Cathia Clyde radicals, the people on the campuses, the people in Yearborn, Michigan, wherever you are, if you are here and you support foreign terrorist organizations, you are here against the national will
by definition, and you should go. You should leave, and if you don't leave, then we will force your hand. More generally speaking, it's worth noting that this is the first year in a very very long time now the number of immigrants living in the United States is actually declining. So after fifty years of essentially year in, year out immigrant growth, by June twenty twenty five, last summer, so America's immigrant population had decreased by more than a million.
So then you kind of fast forward to current data, and we've had a substantially substantial decline in the percentage of immigrants who are here. So a lot of it
actually is self deportation. A lot of it really is coming through this CBP one app The administration is essentially offering a fee if you want to go ahead and voluntarily self deport DHS saying in a press release of about a month ago that six hundred and five thousand people overall have been deported since inauguration day last January twentieth. A fascinating poll that I saw New York Times Sienna Politics, which I saw a courtesy of Ryan Gradusky, a blogger
who is very, very good on these issues. So New York Times Sanna poll essentially asked, do you support or oppose Donald Trump's Administration's his administrations and deportation of illegal aliens. So the overall breakdown is you have fifty to forty seven net approval, which, by the way, I mean, how many times the media try to bamboozle you and convince you of the contrary. How many times have you heard that Trump's immigration policy is a net loser, that He's
going to totally lose it with women and Hispanics? Whatever, No, the American people support this narrowly, but it's a fifty to forty seven issue. Men deeply supported by nineteen points, Women slubly unsupportive, White voters supported by eleven points. Hispanics, by the way, still forty two percent support. It's bare this policy, these policies are barely underwater with Hispanics. So I'm not buying it. I'm not buying the polling hysteria
on this really really whatsoever. Now, if you look further down the cross tabs in this particular New York Times sian Ne pol, you will see that some of these some of these cross tabs have swung back to the median from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty four, this great realignment election where Don from only loses Hispanic voters by three points, competes very nicely with female voters, with women, a younger voters, etc. Or there So some of it
is regretting to the mean a little bit. Republicans very much should keep an eye on that. But the most important point is this immigration has to be enforced, whether it is in Minneapolis with ice, whether it is in Dearborn, Michigan, whether it is pertaining to mach Mu Khalil in or around the Columbia University campus in Morning Slide Heights in
New York City. Immigration law must be enforced. One because it's the law, and federal law is supreme this country, both as a basic moral matter and legally under Article six of the Constitution. But immigration law must be enforced additionally for the very simple reason that it's really important, that is really really important that we know who is in the country and who is not. We don't even know. We literally do not know how many illegal aliens are
currently in this country. I've seen estimates as high as just eight million. That just Joe Biden let in When I sat down with Larry Elder out in California earlier this week on air, Larry said that he'ser potentially as high as thirty million, potentially if memory sort of. I think
that's what Larry Elder said. I mean, we literally do not know, but we should because we're a people, and we're a country, and we have borders, and we're a nation, and you have to know who is here and who is not here for every possible reason, and for crime, for security, for the economy, for benefits, for this. So continue the self deportations, with the CBP one app, get e verified, get workforce enforcement, and the biometric visa fraud, and get these bumps the heck out of there. The
polling is not as bad as media says. In fact, in many ways it's actually good. Stay the course, mister President, Stay with us. We'll be right back. The World Economic Forum at Davos, the great globalist junket, coming to an end on Friday, January twenty third. A lot of the
talk was about Greenland. It seems, as we discuss on Thursday Show, it seems that Donald Trump came to something of an agreement with NATO with Marcrucci the General Secretary of NATO, perhaps with the Kingdom of Denmark as well. We are still waiting for some of those details to materialize, but it appears that at a bare minimum, the United States will have increased access to Greenlands. Personally, personally, if I'm putting my cards on the table, I actually support
going further. I hope that an actual deal can be reached for the United States to actually formally acquire Greenlands as much as we have acquired any number of territories in American history. As I mentioned, we have a history actually acquiring territory just from the Danes. The US Virgin Island stay were formerly known as the Danish West Indies prior to the US purchasing them via a treaty in
nineteen seventeen. We will see where that goes. But other news coming out of Davos we saw on the sidelines of the junket we saw the formal unveiling of Donald Trump's Board of Peace. You've been talking a lot about this Board of Peace, which is basically his vision. Well,
it's a little unclearfying what exactly the vision is. So the border piece is an international conglomerates, whereas a lot of nations involved there, and a lot of folks are saying that this looks like it has potential to rival the Nine Nations. Donald Trump not actually putting down those rumors. In fact, he's actually been fed in the flames potentially trying to get a rival to the Nine Nations there.
I mean, the Nine Nations is just an absolute wretched hive of scum and villainy, to use the Star Wars analogy, and it really should go the way of the Dodo Perd sooner rather than later. So the etend is an attempt to phase out the UN with some good old fashioned American leadership that I find myself pretty supportive of it. Now they're starting, they're starting this Board of Peace thing
in Gaza. The first task, per Donald Trump and per Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kusner and the others who are involved with the border piece, the first task is to demilitarize and rebuild Gosa, which, to put them mildly easier easier set than time. Now, a number of countries have already announced that they are signing on to this Board of Peace initiative from Donald Trump, a lot of Arab countries. So I'm going to read through some of them. Here
we have Bahrain, Morocco, you have Argentina and Drhagimla. You have Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Costvo, Pakistan, Paraguay, Kattar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the uae Uzbekistan and Mongolia. So a lot of countries, frankly, a lot of Muslim and or Arab countries. You will notice that a lot of the countries that are not signing up thus far are actually a lot of the European powers, right, So France, Germany,
the UK are not getting involved thus far. They are upset that Russia, frankly, has been invited that essentially their region. They're also just a little upset over Donald Trump's shall we say, aggressive negotiations when it comes to his attempts to acquire greenlands for the United States. So the traditional European powers are not there. Neither is Canada. In fact, Donald Trump having a little bit of back and forth on Thursday evening with Mark Karney essentially disinviting him from
joining there. So this this somewhat funny and also somewhat perplexing and bemusing tension between the United States and our dubiously friendly northerly neighbors continues. So Dnald Trump obviously a big fan of this board. And here was President Trump in Davos this week talking about the Board of Peace that he has just now launched.
We have a lot of great people that want to join. It's going to be the most prestigious board ever formed. The President is a member. We have major countries and some need parliamentary approval, but for the most part, everybody wants to be on. I have a little bit of the opposite problem. People want to be on and we didn't ask them. They want to get on, but we'll look at the countries. So we're going to have it. I think it's the greatest board ever formed. And we
call it the Board a piece. That's what it is, all right.
So classic Trumpian hyperbole, bragadoshia, the greatest board ever formed. Okay, your minelage may vary, mister President, but it's start. I suppose, by the way, real quick he was meeting there, as you saw in the video with President l CCI of Egypt. I wish that the United States under President Trump was exerting more pressure on Egypt than we currently are. Egypt holds the cards to a lot of these thorny issues
currently affecting the Middle East and beyond. Egypt is the only country other than Israel that has a land border with Gaza. And more to the point, Egypt is the second largest recipients, the second large recipients of the United States foreign aid on a year in year basis. The only country higher again is is Israel. So Egypt gets a lot of money for various reasons that mostly go back to the history of nineteen seventies nineteen eighties. Neither
here nor there for present purposes. The point is that the US has a ton of leverage, a ton of leverage on Egypt if it inclines to use it there. And I'm not entirely sure that we're actually getting out of that relationship what we should be getting there now. There are a lot of questions about this whole border piece, which again is starting in Gaza. I mentioned the countries that have signed up for it. You'll notice that Katar
and Turkey are two of them. This is emerging as something of a sour point of a point of disagreements between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister bb Netanyahu Netiyah, who has been adamant he's not saying that no Arab countries can't be involved. I think he has probably has no problem of fact, I guess with Bahrain, the UAE, probably even Saudi Arabia being involved here when it comes
to the post Gaza demilitarization and reconstruction. But Netilla who has stridently, stridently objected to Katar in Turkey in particular being involved because Katar under the ruling Altani family and Turkey under their quarter century long now strong men recip type Erdawa. They are massive sponsors and bank rollers of the Muzzi Brotherhood and huge sponsors of Hamas, the specific
Palisane Arab offshoot of the International Brotherhood. And Netiao has made very clear that he does not intend to allow Katar and Turkey into the Gaza strip. So something here's gonna have to happen. I mean Donald Trump's talking, I mean they're on the list, they are literally on the list. Katar in Turkey and Natiyah was saying that they can't be involved there. And again I mentioned that Egypt controls
one corridor into Gaza. They don't really do much with that corridor, but Israel holds most of the keys to Gaza there, So how that's going to play out, especially coming after this extremely warm visit the natsignat who just had to Trump in Florida in late December through New Year's Eve. Especially also given the backdrop, given the backdrop of the whole Iran the whole Iran confrogation. Let's not
forget that. Donald Trump also just over the past day or so threatens yet again it said that an armada and armada which is an old school term for a very very big naval and air demonstration of military superiority and armada is headed to the Persian Gulf. We already have a ton of assets there. The US is Abraham Lincoln. This aircraft carry strike group has been headed towards the
Gulf from the South China state. Just to reiterate my stance on the Iran issue right now, I would not have encouraged Donald Trump to draw the red line that he drew, But he drew a very clear red line against the Iranians slaughtering their own people, and they stomped all over the bread line. So it is my contention I've been arguing for some time now that the red
line must now be enforced. I can't say who I heard this from, but I did hear from a somewhat reliable source that potentially could see the President acting on that as soon as this weekend. Again, we'll see if that transpires, but stay tuned for that now. At the same time, the focus of this border piece is not just Iran, but is really just Gaza. Gaza is their number one initiative. In fact, Mark Rubia said about the border piece quote, we are here today because the President
Trump's vision. If we go back just a few months ago, people thought that what was happening in Gaza was impossible to solve. No one thought that we would ever come to a resolution without more fighting and more bloodshed. So the focus really is on in Gaza. And my big point when it comes to Gaza in particular is this, The problem with Gaza is the people of Gaza. I've
heard a lot of shatter this week. There are these kind of statements of Jared Kushner talking about he's going to go in with this Kushner family real estate expertise and try to rebuild Gaza. I mean, let's try to get like the four seasons and conmunis and you know, the Ritz Carlton and Gaza City. And I'm being a little facetious here, but that's more or less what they're saying.
And I mean, I'm trying to think this through. Is that possible when like you have these hotels and condos whatever over hundreds and hundreds of miles of terror tunnels, the Hamas terror tunnel. I mean, how's that going to go away? But the bigger point is even this, what about the radicalized Arabs in Gaza, all one and a half, the two million, whatever the exact population is. I'm sorry, what are you going to do with them? You're going to try to denazify them after kind of like what
we did to the Germans after World War two? Good luck? Good luck? Radical Islam is quite a beast. I'm not sure that denotification of this incredibly radicalized jihad, terror supporting organization, of this population that supports Hamas palacining as Lama Chihad al Kaita isis these people the poll in favor of suicide bombings, all these terrible forms of murders jihad, I'm not un telling sure how that's gonna happen. Frankly. So look, don't get me wrong, I would love this to succeed.
Everyone wants to see Gaza be made great again, let's call it. Everyone wants that. I'm genuinely not sure exactly how we get from point A to point B. I'm not telling sure, Frankly, that's Steve whick caff and Jack Kushner know either, But I certainly know that I'm wishing them the best of luck again. As long as katarn Turkey guys really just cannot be involved here. That is such a freaking insult. Hope you, Jeordy. Today's show folks, have a wonderful evening and a great weekend. Josh Hammer
