Hey, O'Reilly here with some bonus content for you today. My pal Eric Bowling recently sat down with Lara Logan on his podcast, Bowling. They discuss the Trump administration's attack on a broken southern border and the clear message to undocumented migrants that you've got to get out of the country. It's a conversation you don't want to miss. Please take a listen and then subscribe to bowling wherever you get your podcast. All right, welcome to a very special edition of bowling. And then what do you think this whole first press briefing is indicating going forward with regards to immigration?

Well, Trump is changing the system, right? And we've seen that just in terms of efficiency of government. What he's trying to say is what we've become used to over our lifetimes doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't have to exist. And that's kind of one of the. the most important reasons that people elected him the first time around. They wanted a businessman and not a politician because they were saying we don't like the way politicians have been doing

things. We gave you a chance. You lied to us. You let us down and we've had enough. Now, he wasn't able to really do that as effectively as he wanted in his first term because he didn't know government. And he didn't understand the deep state and in all of its tentacles. And, you know, perhaps perhaps him and his team, really now, what has happened over the last few years, especially under Biden, has brought things into much sharper focus for people across the country. And people are now realizing that, you know, whether, even if Donald Trump fixes the economy, even if he closes the border, if you don't start to address some of these much more significant policy issues, which are like, do you want open borders, which means the end of sovereignty,

the end of nationalism, it means the end really of, you know, the report. The American Republic, it means the end of individual liberties because you're now going to be ruled by bureaucrats who are unelected who are ruling from afar. You know, I mean, it means a lot of things that we have just allowed to slip through over the years. And so what you're seeing is this is definitely a new administration. I mean, when their appointments were being blocked, Eric, one of the first things that they did was issue an executive order exercising their proper authority because very, very, really fall under Department of Defense, not under Justice or the FBI. And who is the commander in chief? Well, it's Donald J. Trump.

So he said, you can't block appearances for my people. Boom, here's an executive order exercising his legal authority, and that problem went away. Now, just think in the last administration how many years they lost of effectiveness because they didn't know and understand and exercise that kind of power. So that's one of the things I think that is very different. And regards to Carolyn Levitt's press conference, the biggest difference is they're not apologizing or begging anymore. You know, it felt a little bit like with the rhinos and the establishment politicians,

you know, no matter what stripes they happen to be wearing that particular day, that the Trump administration was falling over itself the first time to explain itself and to apologize and to fit in and to it, you know, constantly under attack trying to defend itself. And it is very clear from the American people, the mandate they have given Donald Trump is we don't want you to do that. We don't want you to waste a second. And you're looking really at a president that in his first, you know, few days sent a very clear message that he is not holding back and he's not waiting. Yep. And one of the beautiful things is for four years under, well, let's call it 12 years under Barack Obama and under Joe Biden the last four years.

ICE and the border patrol had no idea what they were supposed to do. They knew what their job was to enforce the border, keep illegals out, keep the invaders from bringing in, you know, murders, rapists, drugs, fentanyl, keep them out, breaking the law across. They knew that was their job. But when the feds are saying don't enforce the law, don't do your job, they were confused from the minute one Trump gets sworn in. And that very afternoon, they're starting to enforce the border.

I want to jump to this first sound by Laura, if you don't mind, there's so much to get to. If I can just throw some elements at you and love your visceral reaction right afterwards, this first one I love. It's one of my favorite things, and we're only a few days into Trump's presidency where an illegal gets caught. He's about to get sent home, and look at how he responds to it. Listen. I'm not going back to Haiti. Trump, you feel me?

You know, Biden forever, bro. Take Obama for everything that he did for me, bro. If you didn't catch that is I'm not going back to 80, Haiti, F Trump, fuck Trump, I love Biden, I love Obama. There's going to be a lot of that coming up soon, I guess. Laurie, your thoughts? You know, honestly, Eric, it kind of breaks my heart because I just feel like we did a terrible thing to so many people. We made promises that were lies, so they were empty promises, right? and they weren't a better life.

And what we did is, I mean, I mean, this administration, the last administration, they broke the law over and over again. They introduced policies that were unconstitutional that had, you know, really had no place in this country. But, you know, and then they gave power to some of the worst criminals on the face of the earth. And they empowered our adversaries, you know, state adversaries. So when you look at, you know, when you look at cartels today, you shouldn't just see

a drug cartel. You need to understand that you're looking at a transnational criminal organization. And then when you add to that, right, it's a foreign paramilitary organization that is backed by the Venezuelan government, by the CCP in China, you know, by the Iranians. And then you add to that the Iranian Quds Force, right, and who are highly trained and have the backing of a state behind them. And then you have terrorist, Islamic terrorist groups. And all of these people have been uniting, right? They've been united to bring down this country. The Biden administration empowered, enabled, encouraged, was probably heavily involved in many parts of that.

And what they did is they used people. As always, they used people all over the world. They gave them false hope. They made promises that should never have been made. And they put them these people at the mercy of evil people. And, you know, that is, it's so hard for me as a person, right, as a human being to know that there are people who are, you know, good people who are scared right now through no fault of their own. And it's not Donald Trump's fault. You know what I mean?

It's not the fault of the American people. There is a certain reality here that if you open those borders, and you run these policies, you destroy national security, you destroy sovereignty, you destroy everything you have. And there are people, American citizens, that are in terrible situation across this country. So, you know, to me, it's just a heartbreaking, terrible situation. And I have a lot of respect for the people who are trying to make it right, because they knew the Biden administration, the open borders, ideologues, the globalist cult, whatever you want to call it,

they knew that when they brought in human beings and they played with the lives of humans, right, that they would create webs that were very difficult to untangle. And there would be webs that would be fraught with pain and emotion and real suffering. And they know that most of us don't want that, right? Most of us, when we see that, we're like, oh, no, we don't want to hurt people. I mean, I believe that most people are good. But they don't care. These people are just pawns, just like they don't care about hundreds of thousands of missing children.

They don't care about who's sex traffic, whether they're girls or boys or kids or adults. They don't care that pregnant women brought across this border by the cartels and raped every day for the, I mean, to pay off a day. They don't care. They don't care. That's why they don't care about starting wars, you know, or sending people. Eric, you know my background. I mean, I spent a lot of time in the battlefield in Afghanistan. And once I was there four months, four and a half months pregnant with Marines in the area of Afghanistan,

that was so dangerous. It was so laden with IEDs. So many Americans had died there that we couldn't even use the roads. We were in sewage canals most of the time. And, you know, I just think about all those Americans who were sent to die there on foreign battlefields when the people in charge knew that they were using less than 10% of our advanced military capability, that none of those kids actually needed to die, that they could have dealt with this in a very different situation in a very different way. They had stealth thermal drones, okay? You can send those drones with facial recognition and voice recognition software and take out the entire leadership of the Taliban today that is out in the open in Afghanistan if you really wanted to. But no, people in power

would rather send soldiers and Marines to traips through minefields to die. And I wouldn't that with my own eyes. So now when I see the pain of people, that guy doesn't seem like a very good guy, you know what I mean? But who knows? I don't know. Someone's a father. Someone's a brother. You know, there's families that are going to be affected. And it's not, and there's no one brave enough right now to correct this wrong. There's, I mean, because Trump's going to take heat for it. Well, I'm glad you said it, said it up that way, because I know he's, he's probably a friend of yours, a friend of ours. So we went from four years of Kamala Harris, as the border czar, and Alejandro

Majorcas, I don't know what the hell that guy did for four years other than destabilized the American, the whole country. I think it's worse, Eric. I think he did more than destabilized. I think he is heavily, heavily involved in the complete destruction of everything that we have known. And the whole world is watching right now. I've had so many conversations with people from Europe because they did the same thing there.

There's an invasion of Judeo-Christian culture that has, and people have been used as a weapon. And that breaks my heart. But, you know, I'm a journalist. I'm not the guy that has to send him home. Well, let's talk about that guy, because this is the person I was talking about who we both know. Tom Holman, tough guy. And he, wow, what a great choice. Again, Trump, give him credit for picking the right people for.

for the right jobs. Listen to Tom Holman, respond to that guy who says, I'm not going back to Haiti. You see that video. I'm curious. What do you think? Well, he's wrong. He's going back to Haiti. I got that. And then they asked him, well, what about the other ones? And they're going home, too. So, you know, again, I want to juxtapose the Alejandro Mayorkas to Tom Holman, your thoughts. Oh, I mean, literally, okay, people won't like it when I say this, but you're literally talking about, you know, I mean, good versus evil. Right? Alejandro Mayorkas, I don't think we've begun to scratch the surface of what that man has done.

He presided over a system where they knew that more people were dying crossing that border than at any other time in the history of this country. They knew that children were being raped on a daily basis. I mean, that man didn't care. Not only did he not care, he's one of the, you know, the Dr. Evil kind of architects of this, right? And one of the major enforces of this global invasion, you know, I mean, so that that man deserves to be held accountable to the full extent of the law. And when it comes to Tom Homan, you know, what I like about Tom Homan is consistent with a number of people in this administration. He's not trying to speak like a politician. He's going to tell you how it is. I do think that Trump made a remarkable choice in Tom because he understands the border

and he means what he says. He's very direct. And he's been savage, right? He's been targeting. So he's not going to buckle the first time that they come with him. I don't know how much he can take. I don't know what they're going to throw at him. I have a feeling he can take a lot, right?

The indications are that that man can take a lot and he's prepared to take it. And honestly, that needs to be applied. across the board in this administration. But you can't even put Alejandro Mayorkas and Tom Homan in the same sentence because one of them is true and is honest and is trying to do the best for this country. And the other one is a traitor who is guilty of treason and who has been part of a seditious conspiracy. So he needs to be prosecuted under 18 U.S. Code. I think it's Chapter 115, Section 2381, if I'm if I'm, if I'm,

remember correctly, treason and sedition and subversive activities. I mean, that man, and noteworthy, and noteworthy, Trump just brought back the death penalty for treason, or he said he was going to enforce the death penalty for treason. I think you're speaking to so many people when you say that, me included. Listen, I lost a loved one. I lost a loved one to the fentanyl that came across the southern border. And for that man, myarchist, to look the other way when there are so many. people dying in America from the fentanyl coming across and to laugh about the fentanyl.

I would love to see him prosecuted. Go ahead, Laura. Yeah, they want the fentanyl. They don't care about your loved one. They don't care about anyone. I mean, they're quite happy for Americans to keep dying. How do you know that? Well, just talk to anyone, you know, in the DEA over the last four years. They were effectively over and over again told to step aside. You know, and when you open up your border, they know, what they know is far worse than what we know about all of that. I mean, right now, the CCP is building a massive pharmaceutical factory inside of Mexico. What do you think they're going to produce there? Fentanyl, car fentanyl, whatever they need, right?

I mean, they have, they're in, as bad as it has been the last few years. Their plan and the end state that they envisage is much, much worse than where we are now. Just look at Mexico, which is a narco state. And I want to say for the record, for all those morons out there who keep saying that, you know, Mexico has an insurgency. No, it does not have an insurgency. The cartels run the government. They run the country. You know, and that is not an insurgent force fighting to overthrow a government.

They've already overthrown the government. So there's a lot of U.S. officials that say that kind of nonsense, especially your rhinos and your Republicans. And this is, you know, this is the first time we actually have an administration. that is willing to take this on. And with people like Tom Homan and with Pete Higgsett and with Donald Trump and with J.D. Vance, I mean, we're early days here. And what they have taken on is massively difficult. But they want you to think it can never be done.

And that's not honest. It can be done. You just have to have the political will to do it. And he was given. He got the political will because he was given the mandate by the American people with such a resounding win, meaning Trump. Let me just pivoted touch here. Selena Gomez, pop superstar, you know, just icon, they loved her. She put this video up.

I don't know why she would do something like this, but take a listen to this. I just wouldn't say that I'm so sorry. All my people are getting attacked at children. don't understand. Okay, so Selina, Lara says all her people. We have a full screen here. We'll show that, folks. This guy convicted of a child rape convicted. This one suspected ties to ISIS terrorist organizations, MS-13 gang member, another guy possession of fentanyl and guns, another one wanted for murder in Mexico, kidnapping, sexual assault on a child, assault on female and firearms discharging a firearm. Three counts of aggregated DUI, convicted of manslaughter. It goes on and on these people

that Selena Gomez calls my people. Would you like to respond to Ms. Gomez? You know, I mean, it makes you want to throw up. I'll be honest. When I see her like that, it makes me want to throw up. On the other hand, when I look at it rationally, she's not even aware of what you're talking about, Eric. I mean, she's not talking about those people. If you look at how the border has been covered by the media for a long, long time, we have defined national security in terms of immigration. So whenever you see a new story about the border, it's all about this poor family and how they struggle to get here for a better life and how terrible their journey was, how many people died along the way, how many people were raped. And that is true. I mean, you know, you have to acknowledge that that is true because when you look at the whole truth, you don't want to blind yourself.

But that does not account for what we're talking about here. They want you to think that that is, that everyone coming over the border is just a poor, you know, hapless person who's struggling to make a better life. And instead, what we have had is an organized, planned invasion of the United States of America, where foreign paramilitary organizations and foreign governments have inserted hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. and they're using ordinary people as cover. So the people that, you know, Selena Gomez thinks she cared so much about, they're the cover for all these, you know, cartels and for the hundreds of thousands of trained and uniform members of the Chinese Communist Party's People Liberations Army that have been brought into this country for, you know, to go against the United States and to threaten the national

security of this country. So, but these people have been lied to so much. You can see what's happening here. You know, we live in fifth generation warfare, which is information warfare. So he's in her Hollywood bubble or her music bubble or whatever. She's, you know, watching certain media every day. And she literally has no, I mean, she's out of touch with reality because her reality is so distorted. Because the media has failed.

Most of the media is not doing its job. And worse than that, they're acting as foot soldiers for those who are conducting an War against this country and trying to destroy it. So there are people like Selena Gomez who still think that none of that is true, that all those people that you're holding up, that it's made up by the evil right wing or the mega people or the Trump people. I mean, it's crazy that we do that. But that is an indicator that people are spending more time in the digital world than they

are in reality. And it's an indicator of the failure of our leaders to be honest. honest because, you know, an honest leader today would stand up and say, you know, we have a problem. We have a national security problem. We have to stop defining the border in terms of how many people come across. And we have to start looking at national security metrics. These cartels, which are foreign paramilitary organizations, they have foot soldiers across America in every state, in cities, in small towns, and in rural areas. And they are working with people who really have the ability to threaten the security of every community,

not to mention, you know, the drug warfare that's going on, which the Chinese know all about because that's how they lost Taiwan to the British, right? I mean, Hong Kong. That's how they lost Hong Kong to the British through drug warfare, which is a real thing, that if you disable your society with narcotics, you kill off, you know, people, you break up families. No one who's an addict is writing, running for Congress or writing letters to the representatives or joining the military.

or creating, innovating, you know, and building onto the economy. They're a drain on your society. And so there's, you know, there's multiple parts to this. This is called unrestricted warfare that America's enemies are carrying out. And one of the worst things is that there's so many morons across this country who, in some respects, have failed to do what is incumbent upon every single one of us is to try to figure out the truth. I don't feel sorry for Selena Gomez.

She's an idiot. Right. Lara, agree one million percent. The destabilization of the illegal invader crisis epidemic is incredible. And you're right. Of course, China says, yeah, go ahead. Here's some fentanyl push it across. And they support this open door that allows these criminals and narcotics traffickers and child traffickers as well. This is a huge epidemic. And I believe you're on the forefront of some of that as well. Holman was in Chicago and literally while they're walking around grab someone who was suspected of a double homicide just in Chicago randomly. Kristineh?

Christy Knoem, the new DHS secretary, was in New York yesterday. Take a look at what she had to say. You're in New York City, this is right here, get the dirt bags off these streets. So she said, we're going to get the dirt bags off the street. What do you thoughts on Christy Knoam in that position?

Well, you know, Trump made some interesting choices, right? I mean, Kirstie Nome has got a big responsibility on our hands, but she actually has a real Bordersar, as opposed to last time when Cameron Harris was supposed to be the Borders and then they denied years later that she was even the Borders on after they appointed her and there was an actual official White House, you know, record that she was appointed. So it's kind of staggering. But what you're, you know, I think what's interesting here, so Eric, I try to take a step back and see some of these things play out, right? It's early days. We don't really know how Kirstie No is going to fare in that position. But we do know, we do know that she understands the

optics of this. And she's speaking to that very, very quickly. We do know that Tom Homan has a lot of authority and they're figuring this out. You know, I think it's kind of amusing when people say, well, there's a lot of infighting and there's, you know, disagreement behind the scenes and this is somehow a bad thing. When you're trying to take on something like this, you've got people working together, you've got shifting authorities, there's inevitably going to be some,

you're going to have to figure out how to work together, right? When you have a new team, you always have to figure out how to work with each other. When you've been working with each other forever and you finish each other's sentences, you don't even worry about half the stuff that you had to worry about in the beginning. So I think it's interesting to see that her and Tom Homan

do not seem to be in any way competitive yet. You know, there haven't been any fishes that have shown themselves publicly. And they both seem to have a very clear mandate on what they're going to do. So, you know, I don't like to be, I don't like to get ahead and say, you know, I'm not a cheerleader. My job isn't to cheerlead for the administration. I'm going to have the difficult job of if they don't keep their promises, I'm going to be one of those people that said, hey, you're not keeping your word. you know what i mean but i'm not doing it for political points i'm not doing it uh i'm not making it up i'm not doing it because somebody paid me to do it you know what i mean if you're not

not keeping your word i'm gonna tell the truth it's called and that's you know that's our job and again i introduce you as one of the premier journalists this country's ever the world has ever really seen i'm not being i'm not being overly complimentary because laura's my French. He is one of the best journalists ever to walk the earth. And you're right. Let's talk a little bit about that because we have some, we have some breaking news that happened just literally minutes before this interview. CNN, sorry, Jim Acosta, walked off the show on CNN. He ended his show and said, I'm done. I'm done at CNN because CNN isn't going to hold truth to power with Trump. They're not going to hold them accountable. But I'm just laughing because their numbers have

been tanking because they were so, so much, they were lying to their audience about Kamala Harris actually being neck in neck with Donald Trump going into the election. And that's why people are fleeing. Meanwhile, let's talk about the, if we have a few minutes with you. I'd love to just talk about the state of journalism, certainly now since Trump has been reelected. Well, I would say if I were Eric Acosta. I mean, what's his name? Jim Acosta. Jim Acosta. I would preserve my records, okay? Because these people have done, I mean, he's leaving because CNN's not going to hold the Trump administration accountable. Wow.

I mean, talk about pathetic. That is incredible. You had a dement, a senile man. He was senile when he ran against Donald Trump in 2020. Everyone already knew it then. They lied about that. They lied about Hannah Biden's laptop. They lied about Russia collusion.

You know, for me, it's really painful. The Russia collusion one is the one that bothers me. the most a lot of the time because that was the beginning of their you know of the wrath where they had this plan that was already in place before trump won because i think they were going to take him out they thought they were going to win and they were going to take them out anyway because they didn't want them to ever be able to run again you know and so you look at these people and you look at what they have done how they have lied over and over and over again and not only would they have they never been held accountable not only were they given big salaries

and cushy jobs and security and all of that. But what did they do? I mean, they were rewarded. They gave themselves awards and the highest awards in journalism. I mean, I may as well throw my awards away, right? Because what do they mean anymore? The Pulitzer, you know, where was the count, whatever the board is, the board of the Pulitzer Prizes, which is one of the biggest prize for print journalism.

They just reviewed all their old awards. and in light of all this new information, they didn't revoke any of them. Right. So you had people rewarded for writing that Trump was, you know, was a Russian spy that he was controlled by Putin, that he stole the election.

None of that was true. And you review that and you actually, you still give yourself an A plus. I mean, I'm sorry, but these people are absolutely reprehensible in what they have done. They are moral cowards. They are morally corrupt.

And they are, they're shameless. I mean, Jim Acosta is upset that CNN's not going to hold. What did they do to hold the Biden administration accountable? What did they do when their backs were against the wall and they were forced to acknowledge certain truths? They did it reluctantly. They did it dishonestly. And they have never, ever, ever apologized.

And you know what? You can't even, an apology cannot even fix the damage that they have done. Do you know, I mean, okay, I got to say this. I have to say this. Do you know what it is like to be a child that is trafficked for sex that is raped every single day, day after day after day, that is applied with narcotics to make them compliance that is taught what to do through pornography, that is subjected to sometimes sadistic pornography called hurtcore, that is sometimes brutally murdered in snuff videos.

I mean, this is what has been happening. The people who run those businesses, the people who run those operations and get rich out of it, richer than any, most of us can ever imagine, those people have been empowered and enabled by these policies and these leaders. And you didn't, you lied about it, you covered it up, you enabled it, you didn't do your job, and now you want to talk about holding truth to power, you are truly, I mean, a horrible human being. Yeah, and I will tell you that CNN, MSNBC, some of the left-leaning media, never questioned Alejandro Mayorcas when he said, border is secure. I don't know, everything's fine at the border. I'm not sure what you're talking

about. Meanwhile, we're seeing the exact opposite. We're seeing destabilization in the country. We're seeing children dying by the tens of thousands from fentanyl. We're seeing hundreds of thousands of young people, young kids being trafficked for exactly what you pointed out. And CNN just takes their, oh, everything's fine here and doesn't, doesn't, they hold no one to power for the last four years. Zero point zero. And as you point out very strictly, Joe Biden was basically almost a corpse in the White House, and they lied, and they said no. From day one.

And that Joe and Mika, Joe Scarborough and Mika, said, we were being ridiculous. We were lying. Joe Biden is perfect. He's lucid. He's coherent. He's better than he's ever been. Joe Scarborough said in the fourth year of his term when the guy was clearly weekended Bernie's. they make me sick Eric they literally do they make me sick to my stomach do you know how many things that they have done that have been dishonest look how they rolled out chris crabs from sissa and put them on 60 minutes so that they could cement the steel of the 2020 election right and then they could go after anyone who dared to speak up look at all the lawsuits that have been launched you know how many stories these so-called journalists have buried and refused to speak up look at all the lawsuits that have been launched you know how many stories these so-called journalists have buried and refused to

cover and looked away. Let's talk about vaccine injured. Let's talk about health care workers who were deceived and put their children up to be vaccinated, who now have quadriplegic kids. What about the kids that have died of myocarditis? Where were these so-called journalists then holding people to account? No, they were more worried about making up stories, you know, endless coverage of one fake indictment after another, one false indictment going off to, you know, the insurrectionists of January 6th. How dare they? How dare they stand up there and treat the American people as if they are completely brainless? And how, how dare they look down on the American people, right? The very people that they think should be, for example, I don't know, paying for their

kids to go to college, right? Because all student debt should be forgiven. Those hardworking Americans who are, you know, who built this country, they should be patronized and disregarded and dismissed. And now you've been forced into a corner because you weren't able to silence them forever. You weren't able to send them to die without being held accountable. Now you're going to be held accountable and you're going to stand up in front of the American people who weren't hypocrites. I mean, these are, these people are completely worthless. Laura, you've been very generous with your time. You're a very busy, busy woman and very busy journalist. Tell us about the new podcast coming out soon.

Coming up in a few weeks. Going rogue with Laura Logan. You can join me, I hope. Go ahead, go ahead. Sorry. Well, you'll find us on X. We'll be all over. There's no paywall. So it's going to be different, you know. This is going to be sort of, the unplugged version. This is not 60 minutes. But I think we have some interesting things coming up. We're looking forward to it, Laura. We'd love to have you back.

And I'll see you soon. Laura, my good friend, Laura Logan, everybody. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. If you enjoyed that conversation, you can get more of it every day by subscribing to bowling wherever you get your podcasts.
