John Bolton, former national security advisor to President Trump. He is now been placed. Well, he's not placed quite under arrest yet, but he's in the place where you don't want to be. You've got an FBI raid happening at his home this morning in Bethesda, Maryland. And that took place at 7 a.m. this morning. Here is some footage. This comes to us by way of Fox News. The cameras arriving after the FBI raid had already started. That's a huge contrast from the old days. Here's John Bolton's House cut 10 being raided this morning.

It is notable, guys, that John Bolton and Ambassador Bolton's security clearances were stripped earlier this year by President Trump. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, took that security clearance away. They had concerns. The administration had concerns about Ambassador Bolton still being able to access some of these documents and have some of those security clearances. It's also notable that John Bolton has a security detail as well because of the threats from Iran on his life. That security detail, that government federal paid security detail was also taken away by President Trump.

Yeah, all right. So in other words, President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, have been stripping John Bolton of all of these extraordinary privileges that he had by way of the American taxpayer in advance of this raid on his home and also his office. office today. The New York Post was the first to break the news this morning. They had these details about the raid on John Bolton's home. Here's what they had to say on the subject. They said that FBI agents have raided the DC area home of President Trump's former national security advisor John Bolton Friday morning in a high profile national security probe. The post can exclusively reveal federal agents went to Bolton's house in Bethesda, Maryland. That was at 7 a.m. this morning. In an investigation ordered by FBI director Cash Patel, a Trump administration official

told the New York Post, investigators were also en route to search his office Friday morning. In fact, fellas, we have footage of that as well. Here's the images at the office building this morning. FBI agents there, cut 11. Take a look at this. This is a live shot of his office in Washington, D.C. And we're looking right now, per our colleagues from Fox Digital on the scene, a couple of FBI agents loading some stuff into cars and leaving the scene. So clearly not as big of a presence at his Bethesda home, but notable that he was spotted at his office earlier today. We're told I want to be very clear that he's not facing any charges at this moment.

He is not in custody. He is not under arrest at this moment. Yeah, all right. So I've got additional information this morning that I want to share with you what I'm learning today about all of this. A source that is familiar with what exactly took place this morning at John Bolton's home in office tells me that this is related to a national security investigation of John Bolton that was shut down by the Biden administration for political reasons.

The move today is to go after Bolton because he's accused of stealing classified documents and then weaponizing them for political purposes. Cash Patel, the director of the FBI, and Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, were the men behind reopening this investigation. The leadership of the FBI decided to reopen this investigation. And that led to this morning's raid on John Bolton. Now, my source tells me that Bolton was not detained today, not detained. And that squares with some of the media coverage you're seeing elsewhere.

but, and here's the big deal that you're not seeing everywhere else, he is fully expected to be charged in this case. So as we take a look here, it is worth going back a little bit to the details of what we know from the past about Bolton and the investigation that was underway into him. Remember, it was in 2020 that the criminal inquiry was opened by the United States Department of Justice into John Bolton's decision to publish a book that the Trump administration contended

was full of classified information that he had no business sharing in public. The New York Times back then, that was September of 2020, reporting that the Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into whether President Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, unlawfully disclosed classified information in a memoir this summer, an inquiry that the department began after it failed to stop the book's publication according to three people familiar with the matter. Pay attention to the next paragraph. This detail matters a lot and it explains in no small part why John Bolton is being subjected to

the type of overt investigative action you're seeing now. The second paragraph says the department has convened a grand jury which issued a subpoena for communications records from Simon and Schuster. publisher of Mr. Bolton's memoir, the room where it happened. So in other words, back in 2020, a grand jury was impaneled to go after John Bolton. And in fact, the case began to mature to a really substantial point where you had fed, where you had judges involved, including a judge, who had determined that John Bolton had done something completely inappropriate by moving forward with the publication of the book without getting the prior approval of the Trump White House, given that it

involved national security administration information rather and that led us to june of 2021 so after joe biden is is planted in office you at politico here coming out with this report at the time saying that the justice department has now dropped the trump era investigation and the lawsuit over the bolton book the justice department on wednesday they said this is back in june of 2021 dropped a Trump-era lawsuit aimed at regaining profits from former national security advisor John Bolton's book. According to a source familiar with the situation, the department has also closed the related criminal investigation into whether Bolton's memoir illegally disclosed classified information. Further, while criminal cases against these high-level officials over these disclosures are notoriously

rare, they claim, the decision by Biden appointees at the Justice Department to drop the suit was more surprising since the judge in the case had made clear he disapproved of Bolton's decision to move forward with publication of his book without final approval from the White House. So here, what's happening this morning, and I'm already seeing a couple of people posting online, well, why John Bolton? Of all people, why not Democrats? You know, John Bolton is obviously a guy who's cast himself. as a Republican throughout his career.

He's just become a hair on fire, anti-Trump lunatic. He spends all of his time, including this morning in the midst of the FBI rate, attacking the president of the United States over his efforts to try and bring peace between Ukraine and Russia. And so some of the reaction this morning is like, oh, that's what, Bolton, why Bolt? Can it be someone else? First of all, stop your whining. My God.

My God, it's pathetic. Grow up a little bit. Second, this, as I'm pointing, pointing out to you this morning, and I know this audience knows this. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the crazy people out there. This as I'm pointing out to you this morning is a well developed investigation that has had years of effort already put into it. The guys at the FBI right now, Dan, Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, the whole crew that's working on all of these cases, they're not only working to figure out all of the coverups that have been going on at the FBI.

They're trying to assemble cases against all of these vile people who have been completely tyrannical towards the American people. And yes, are there investigative pieces that have been done by places like Congress and special counsels that they can rely on? No question whatsoever. But clearly, these guys believe they have a mature investigation already developed into John Bolton that would predicate them taking such an overt action as raiding the guy's home and office this morning in the lead up to what my sources are saying. are charges against John Bolton. This is clearly evidence of justice on the move. Now, as you watch the left wing press this morning, they're saying that this is just tyranny run amok.

President Trump is targeting his political opponents. He's trying to hurt people just because they don't like him. And it's all such insanity. One of the clear lessons from this era that we've all lived through and that we are now getting into a place where there's something to be done about, all of the injustices, is that the left wields power tyrannically. They use it Soviet style.

Show me the man. I'll show you the crime. President Trump is coming in as a corrective to that. In addition to his fixes on the border and his fixes on the economy and his fixes when it comes to crime, I've got a lot more on that coming up. He also has an accountability mission he has to fulfill, one that he ran on, one that he keeps talking about, one that his national security advisor, excuse me, his director of national intelligence now dulcie gabbard keeps talking about one that his fbi eight head has been and

continues to keep talking about one that dan bongino the deputy director of the fbi he's clearly fully invested in one that pam bondi has shown a lot of appetite to pursue lately to the point that i've gone from being very critical of her to being very encouraged by what she's done lately one that ed martin the weaponizations are cannot be questioned on his effort to go after these people It is underway. The story this past week has been, we have multiple grand juries and paneled all across the country designed to go after all of this weaponization

in order to produce the kind of indictments that lead to those arrests and prosecutions and trials and convictions and sentences. The wheels of justice are publicly rotating right now. So we've got a lot to reflect on. But today, an overt action from the United States Department of Justice. What are the heads of the FBI saying right now about this subject? We've got updates on that too.

Cash Patel in the middle of the raid this morning in what is being described as a cryptic tweet saying no one is above the law, FBI agents on mission. Now that was at 7.03 a.m. this morning. That came before we even got early indications from the New York Post that this raid was underway. that's a that's a big deal and that's that's FBI director cash Patel saying pay attention something big is happening also not only cash Patel saying that this morning dan bonjino FBI deputy director dan bonjino responding the public corruption will not be tolerated will not be tolerated that's at 716 this morning just as people were beginning to find out the news that john bolton was being raided here and I can't help but notice the stark

differences here between the Bolton raid by the FBI and say the raid on Roger Stone back in 2019. Let's take you back in time. Remember how the FBI treated Roger Stone? Check this out. This is cut 12. This is this footage comes to us courtesy of CNN who by some miracle knew to be standing outside of Roger Stone's home as the FBI arrived. Look. We do have breaking news. This is the CNN exclusive the video of Roger Stone being arrested by the FBI this morning. These are FBI agents. You can see them in protective gear approaching in the cover of darkness. Roger Stone's door.

That is Roger Stone that you can see through the door as the agents pounded on his door and said FBI warrant. Yeah, quite the event, huh? So CNN was present. Now, I noticed this today, and I post it. already about there's already some clear differences. I mean, think about the clear differences we've already determined. Just the ones that are readily apparent at this hour this morning. It's 10.15 a.m. Eastern time, as I'm talking about this at the moment, the raid happening at 7 o'clock

this morning, just over three hours ago. Some of the core differences here. The raid on Roger Stone occurred at 6 o'clock in the morning. They pushed it at even an hour earlier. Roger Stone and his wife taken completely by surprise during all of this guns drawn as they bore down on the house they had swat team boats floating in behind the house and the canal and that is home in Florida just a just a completely crazy scene as they bore down on on roger stone and those CNN cameras were present now as i as i said i posted this morning about this that there's some key differences and already a CNN reporter came back and said well CNN didn't get tipped off by the FBI. It wasn't the FBI. And then posted a link to some explanation that

CNN tried to cook up years ago to try and justify why they had cameras out there that didn't include being tip off by the FBI. And I am just here to say, I don't believe you. I don't believe you. That CNN through just through some just good, good old fashioned gumshoe reporting, they figured out where to be the morning of Roger Stone's arrest and raid. Yeah, I don't think so. And given what you now know about the FBI and the corruption within that agency, do you think it's outside the bounds of possibility that the FBI was engaged in yet another politicized tyrannical stunt? Of course not. Of course not. So the FBI was present for the CNN, for the, well, CNN was present, rather, for the FBI raid on Roger Stone. Now contrast that with this morning, no media tip-offs ahead of the raid, no cameras present for the beginning of the raid.

the only time the cameras started arriving at John Bolton's home today were after this was all being made public to begin with. And that's it. No, you know, no CNN tip off. So compare and contrast. You tell me how this goes. It seems to me, if I'm just going to draw any conclusions from this, that this FBI is doing its job responsibly. That this FBI is handling its job the way you're supposed to under the bounds of the law with respect for the law. And for that matter, with respect for the accused, which you're supposed to do. So that raid continues, no handcuffs on John Bolton yet, but charges expected in that case. Now, Bolton has, for his part, what is John Bolton said about the theft of classified information? Well, if we go to the public record, it turns out he's said quite a bit.

Here's cut 13, John Bolton condemning President Trump for what he accused of being completely reckless with classified information. Take a look. Give me a sense of where you think the truth lies with respect to Trump's intelligence, carelessness, and the degree to which he might have brought motive to bear on taking these documents out of the White House and keeping them for this long at Mar-a-Lago. Well, I don't, it's very hard to speculate on motive other than that he liked cool things. He saw things that he, so he wanted to take them, and he was pretty much able to take them. and not just on classified information matters on all kinds of things that crossed his desk some days

he liked to eat a lot of french fries some days he took classified documents he wanted them why did he want them because he's so petty right he's so completely petty some days you liked eating french fries and some days you like taking classified information because he just felt like doing whatever he wanted he was the president of the united states john bolton the president of the united States. And this whole thing, I mean, it's just like, it's just amazing. The public record always shows this, that the people who make these ridiculous accusations are far too often actually guilty of the very thing that they're accusing President Trump of. And here's John Bolton today being raided by an FBI who does believe very seriously that this guy violated the law.

Now, let me just add another thing that while we're on the subject. Do you think that the FBI undertakes this at the direction of Cash Patel and Dan Bongino unless they think they're on paid dirt right now? You think they want this very high profile event to lead to nothing but a dud to a fizzle out? No. No, there's a reason that Bolton is going among the first here in terms of these high profile guys that they're going after. And I assure you, I can say this with complete confidence he's not the last he's not the last there's more ahead no question about it the breaking news this morning john bolton uh now it's his time in the barrel so we'll see what happens next i've got a lot more to share with you today but the president of the united states uh getting out there with

law enforcement we've got we've got that uh saying eye to the cops who are cleaning up the city also the president of the united states you know he's he said at one point that you would get tired of winning I'm not sure when that's going to come because I don't I don't feel as Hillary Clinton might say in no way as tired. I've got some big records to share with you this morning and they just keep coming. So we've got a lot ahead on this edition of events.

And I'll get to the data to support that in a moment because we've got some some really fun data to share with you. It's it's so much nicer what's happening in the nation's

capital right now. But here's President Trump last night meeting with federal law enforcement and delivering pizza and White House-made burgers. First, here's the president meeting with law enforcement to thank them. Cut one. Take a look. It's a healthy, attractive looking good for people well I just want to thank everybody very much for being I wanted to do this we've had some incredible results and results have come out and it's like a different place it's like a different city it's the capital it's going to be the best in the world we're going to do what you're doing with law enforcement and very importantly also we're going to physically do it we're going back to Congress for some money and we're going to redo a lot of the

pavement a lot of the medians a lot of the the graffiti's all coming off real fast it's going to come down real fast we're working with clark construction that one of the big ones are the biggest year yeah a lot to do a lot to do so he's basically i love the way the president handles these public appearances he always does this at rallies too right where he goes out and not only does he thank people and talk to them and just kind of give them the way the top line items are usually delivered by politicians but then he gets to the details you guys will be interested in this the president's explaining i'm seeking more money from congress we need to clean up some stuff we need to fix the the pavement we need to get rid of all the graffiti i've got this construction company we're

working with just like a real deal update like he's working with his peers that is kind of the president's attitude isn't it where he he treats the american people as a peer as somebody as he as he works for you and that's the attitude he takes and then he goes out and he talks to federal law enforcement the guys we're cleaning up the city right now who he's so grateful to and the rest of us are so grateful to and he says here I've got some updates for you as the president last night and he did feed everybody those white house made burgers and some wise guy pizza take a look you're cut too here's the president feeding everybody so we have great hamburgers cooked by the white house and we have pizza that I said don't do it in the white house because we went to a place

that makes the best pizza so we'll concede but we have a lot of it so we're going to have some fun we'll eat and I'll eat with you and we're going to have a little fun we're going to celebrate but then we're going to get back to work and we're going to take care of these criminals. We're going to put them where they have to be. We're going to, you're going to say, don't play around with us. Don't play around with us. So let's go have something to eat. You're going to like the hamburgers.

Would you rather have hamburgers from the White House or pizzas from a good place, huh? I think you want, oh, they want the hamburgers. Have a good time, everybody. Thank you very much. This is, I mean, this is just a sign of just being a gentleman, right? I don't know about you, but one of the primary roles, in the Colonnese family is like when you go and you visit somebody else's house where you want to demonstrate that you care about people bring them a treat like pay pay for a meal

bring them a drink come don't come empty handed with the people you love come bearing gifts and the president does that routinely he's always going out and buying food for everybody you saw him do it on the campaign trail where he walks into random restaurants buys food for the whole place everybody who's in attendance uh and he's taking care of sports teams when they come to the white house buying him, McDonald's, and here he is, visiting with law enforcement, buying everybody pizzas and burgers that he got made at the White House. And I'm telling you, you know, if there's any lesson I've derived through the years about that, that goes a long way. When the boss demonstrates his gratitude to the people who are executing on the mission and says, hey, you guys are the reason,

that goes a long way. It's huge for morale. People remember that moment. Those guys will talk about that for the rest of their lives. Yeah, I met the president of the United States. We all ate pizza on his dime. We got White House burgers. It's cool. So good for the president. Really nice move. And somebody says, at Erzabet says that Trump is a, is a true gentleman. I totally agree. It's a gentleman's move to take care of everybody. All right. So we got burgers and pizza. Also, the president said that it's not just for D.C. for those of you who live literally everywhere else in the country, it's not just for Washington, D.C. Cut three here, the president telling law enforcement that this mission is going to expand all.

over our country. I take my wife and my kids to dinner. One of them said he's gone out four nights in a row, and he hadn't gone out for four years. So it's a great tribute to you. And when I look at you people, I understand why, because there's no games, right? We're not playing games. We're going to make it safe. And we're going to then go on to other places. But we're going to stay here for a while. We want to make this absolutely perfect. It's our capital. And I guess it used to be many years ago, say, but it's certainly not had a very good run. And you've got to be strong, you've got to be tough, you've got to do your job, whatever it takes to do your job, you've got to do your job.

But the crime numbers are... Yeah, it's going to be all over the place, and I'm here to help you. Thank you for what you're doing, cleaning up the country. That's the plan. Now, how effective has all of this been in Washington, D.C.? Well, I've got great news for you on this. The reality here is that... that with the president's crime crackdown,

there have been dramatic reductions in crime in Washington, D.C., to the point that there has been not a single homicide over the course of the last, now I think we're going on eight days. Take a look here. This is a news report discussing what is happening with crime in the nation's capital. When the National Guard hit the ground in Washington last week, that city's crime fight went into overdrive. And now we're seeing the impact

and the dramatic reductions in crime. When the National Guard rolled into Washington last week, the locals seemed skeptical. The crime is minimal here. It's not really a lot of crime here. It looks like window dressing to me. But with the guard on the ground, crime is on the decline.

For the first time in a long time, D.C. has gone seven days without a homicide. And that's not all. Carjackings are down 83%. Robberies are down. I mean, how do you go for the first time in a long time? It's almost too sleepy the way that he presented that. For the first time, in a long time,

we didn't have a single murder in the nation's capital. You know, at one point, Washington, D.C. was considered the murder capital of the country. And now the president, by virtue of law enforcement, simple law enforcement, no more death going on in the city? That's huge. and that's not the only number right and that's not all carjackings are down 83% robberies are down 46% car thefts down 21% and overall violent crime is down 22% I'm sorry I thought that the Washington Post just told me that there's no crime being stopped anywhere I thought that the New York times and CNN and MSNBC or whatever they call themselves now was telling me that the crime is not being stopped that this is all theater that it's having no effect the cities not safer and yet what the murder is down to to no murders over the last week carjackings are down

83% robberies are down 46% car thefts are down 20% violent crime is down 22% when you have these kind of numbers going down it basically says this is a success and that means people feel safer like many big cities Washington's police department is critically short staff people who don't feel safe aren't free sergeant betsy smith with the national police association says it is ripe for federal help more police generally equals less crime what a novel idea what a what a wild and crazy concept you get more law enforcement out there enforcing the law and then there are fewer people breaking the law wild absolutely wild i've got more on the victory list to share with you we've got some great stats coming up that you need to know about and then wield

So we do have some more updates on what's going on with cleaning up the crime problem in D.C. and around the country. Here is Doug Bergam. Remember him? He's the Interior Secretary. And part of his job is running the National Park Service over an interior. He says the U.S. Park Police have done a great job. They've cleaned up all of the homeless encampments in the nation's, well, in D.C.'s national parks, the areas that the Park Service runs.

Take a look here at Doug Bergam, cut four, talking about the great success. The U.S. Park Police has removed all 72 of the homeless encampments that were on U.S. park property in this metro area. Working now with the task force in the last week, there's been over 25 more. I think we're over 100. Some of those were on the, on metro property, not federal property. But that part, speaking, taking. care of and so vagrancy is going away we're enforcing the vagrancy laws uh violence uh we've we've rolled back the biden era no pursuit policy so the u.s park police uh can now when they pull

somebody over that's got stolen plates mixed plates uh criminal records uh those those criminals were just fleeing and there was a rule where they were under under the bide administration the u.s park police couldn't chase them now they can yeah okay let me dwell on that last point it means so much so First of all, the vagrancy issue is being taken care of all of the homelessness that's completely out of control all across the country. In the nation's capital, it's been cleaned up and it's been cleaned up swiftly. The homeless encampments have been shoved out of the way. Heavy machinery has been brought out to collect all of the garbage and to throw it out. They're getting the homeless people off the streets and into shelters.

The left just wants homeless people to rot away in the elements, just die due to exposure. the normal people want to see mentally ill people taken off the streets and given the treatment that they need and the care that they need. So that's what's happening right now, the president seeing to that, all these homeless encampments being cleaned up. And it's made the city a lot safer for the people coming and going, especially as they visit the important tourist areas of the nation's capital to see their own nation's capital. But that pursuit detail that Doug Bergam just shared. in Washington, D.C., you may or may not know, police at all levels from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to other federal law enforcement, they've all been told by the left, you're not allowed to give chase. If somebody decides to take off in a car, you can't chase them. And for those of you in the audience who are law enforcement, tell me, do you think that's crazy? I happen to think it's crazy that you can't chase the bad guys when you have them in sight when they go flying off. And I realize, like, you know, one of the reasons that they offer is, well, we don't

want to put more people in danger, dangerous chase would potentially harm civilians. Well, what kind of harm is perpetrated if you just allow bad guys to constantly get away so that they can do more harm to Americans? We can't do that. You have to give chase. You have to demonstrate that there's a downside to fleeing. If the bad guys learn that all they have to do is flee, guess what they're going to do every time?

Flea. It's completely crazy. And so in Washington, D.C., that has been the status of affairs no longer. All of these officers are now allowed to pursue when these guys run off. They don't just have to watch the car the car disappear. So they're going after them. And so that's a huge change, a huge benefit to the American people that Doug Bergam and everybody else is handling. So that's great news as well.

that's really great news okay so that's where Doug Bergam is also as a part of this law enforcement effort they're picking up illegal aliens a lot of them and getting them out of the country that's that's been a big thing and we have some new estimates now on how many illegals are in the country Pew has this estimate they put out they claim that there are 14 million illegal aliens in the country as of 2023 that would have been two years ago that number seems too small as far as I'm concerned. I bet you share my view on this chat that there's no way. It's got to be more than that.

The president's been talking about we're upwards of 20 million or more due to Joe Biden's horrific abuse of our country. Pew says that the Axios reporting on the Pew numbers, the number of unauthorized immigrants, that's how they describe them in Axios, illegal aliens, in the United States, rose to a record 14 million in 2023,

sparked by migration from countries other than Mexico, a new Pew Research Center analysis says. I love this, like, this is brand new information. We knew this. Tens of thousands of Chinese nationals have been pouring across our border. And the media are just apparently waking up to this. And they're worried that it added, quote, fuel to the backlash that aided Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Well, rightfully so. The American people want mass deportations. They want all of these illegals ejected from the country. And one of the other. data points in this is that Pew alleges that over the last few months since January, since President Trump came in office, that 1.5 million foreigners at every level, legal and illegal aliens, have left the country. They say 1.5 million. That's a great start. But that's not actually the real number, as Pew assesses it. I trust more the Center for Immigration Studies here.

Senator Eric Schmidt sharing those numbers recently. Overall, the foreign-born population in the United States is down 2.2 million from the president's arrival until July. The illegal population itself has fallen approximately 1.6 million. That's through July of this year. And that's by virtue of both forced deportations, people taken into custody and also self-deportations. People looking at the, looking up and saying, oh, boy, I know what time it is. I'm going to get kicked out of this country. And I'm not going to be able to do it on my own. own terms. Now you have people leaving the country. So that's a huge number. Earlier, we've we've talked on this show before that about one million people have picked up and left. And now the numbers

are looking closer to well over one and a half among all foreigners who are leaving the country. That population is down by 2.2 million. So the numbers are headed in the right direction. Do we want to see more aggressive change more quickly? Yeah, absolutely. But that's a very big deal. So good to see that for sure. What else do we have here? We've got these guys leaving the country and the Trump administration is going for more. Now you're ready for this number. This one's mind boggling. The Trump administration is now reviewing all 55 million foreigners who have visas in the United States for any violations. I'm sorry what? We have 55 million visa holders all over the planet right now now i'll stipulate right up front that um not every visa holder is in the

united states as we speak but there are so many people who have visas when was the last time we did any vetting of all of this the associated press reporting the trump administration is saying thursday it's reviewing now more than 55 million people who guys we have a country our population in our country is just over 300 million for context. 55 million people have visas? 55 million people are now being reviewed who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation,

part of a growing crackdown on foreigners who are permitted to be in the United States. In a written answer to a question from the Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists for many countries are subject to continuous vetting with an eye towards any indication

they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the country. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she will be subject to deportation. So a systematic review of 55 million visas being held. There were 12.8 million.

million green card holders and 3.6 million people in the U.S. on temporary visas last year, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Now, they go on here to reveal a piece of news that I think is just great. Let's also talk about this. The United States is also set to stop under the Trump administration. You ready for another victory? They're stopping issuing worker visas for commercial truck drivers. Secretary of State Marco Rubio just announced yesterday on X.

he said this change is effective immediately. Now, this will come. That news is going to come as a massive boon to American truck drivers, American commercial truck drivers. It means that they're not going to have their salaries, their wages, their earning potential devalued by foreign competition being imported willy-nilly into the United States. This will help American workers.

workers. And need I remind you, commercial driving is in almost every state in our country the number one job, commercial driving. We have a lot of American truck drivers out there. And so Marco Rubio has announced that that scam is over. The government is not going to keep selling out American workers on this. Effective immediately, we're pausing the issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers. The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on U.S. roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truck drivers. That's the point that I just emphasized their livelihoods. But the other point that does matter a great deal is that foreign drivers have been endangering American lives.

And we saw that in horrific detail last week in Florida when an illegal alien from India, last week Tuesday tried to execute an illegal U-turn through an official use-only turnaround on a Florida highway killing three people. And then when authorities talk to the guy, what they established was he barely speaks English and he can't read road signs. For instance, can he read the road sign that says official use only? Apparently not. Killing a bunch of people.

And so this has to end. And so these guys are doing something about it. So for those of you who are truck drivers out there, chat, any truck drivers out there? How are you feeling about this? The Trump administration standing up for American truck drivers, stopping the issuance of visas for foreigners to take those jobs, and standing up for safety on American roadways. We need people who can both speak English and read. signs to be able to do this a couple truck drivers now weighing in people saying yeah and absolutely

and that this is this is what they want i think this is what you want is this is what you want this part of the this part of the victory the winning that you were looking for yes love it okay uh so there you go yeah i'm a truck driver says t clark 2274 thank god and bless trump thank god and bless trump are we okay with a show where i talk about victories is that a good thing Is that good? Because I do think that that's worthwhile. We have another one to share with you. Boy, we have a lot to share with you, actually.

Here's one this morning. This is a good one. The New York Times reports this morning, the year is going to end with 300,000 fewer federal workers. Over a quarter million fewer federal workers in the government. According to a Trump administration official, the reduction marks the largest single year decline in federal employment since World War II. There will be some 300,000 fewer federal workers on the government payroll by the end of December than there were in January, according to the Trump administration's top human resources official. That amounts to the loss of about one in eight federal civilian workers and would be the largest single year reduction since World War II.

but in an interview with the new york times on thursday the director of the office of personnel management scott cooper painted the coming few months as a period of relative stability after a time of tremendous upheaval he said the resignation incentives first introduced by doge accounted for the bulk of the 300,000 departures he said most would be officially separated by the end of september and others by the end of the year most have already stopped working even though they remain on the payroll. So they're getting rid of everybody to paring down the federal government. So, you know, if I'm summarizing a couple of the details that I've shared with you, and it's actually hard to even remember what we've talked about so far on this hour, the wheels of justice are turning.

You have raids on the homes of people who stand credibly accused of abusing their power for tyrannical purposes. You have no more murders over the course of an entire week in Washington, D.C., once known as the murder capital of the country. You have. law enforcement out allowed to do its job allowed to pursue bad guys you have homelessness being cleaned up everywhere the president of the united states is standing with law enforcement going out on the road and feeding everybody as a way to thank them yesterday and giving them actual verbal updates on the efforts he's undertaking to protect the country right now you've got the nation's truck drivers having their jobs protected by a government that's actually looking out for them and the safety of

American citizens. You have illegal aliens being deported and self-deporting out of the country by the millions. And you have a federal government workforce that's shrinking dramatically because we're $37 trillion in debt and we don't have any more money to spend on you. It sounds like a pretty good run, a generational run by the president of the United States. And how can I go away from today's program without also mentioning that Letitia James had her ass handed to her yesterday in court as a as an appeals court said yeah that half billion dollar fine that she and that goofball judge anger on had imposed on president trump that goes away that goes bye bye that's gone that whole thing is gone and the president is getting his bond money back he had they stuck him with like a

175 million dollar bond all that money's coming back now to the trump organization boy man It would really suck if something else happened to Letitia James that made her miserable. Oh, yeah, that's right. She's under federal investigation. A grand jury is being impaneled against her, and Ed Martin is hot on her big ass. It's crazy. It's crazy what's happening for her right now. But, you know, she deserves it.

She made dead bed. Now she can lie in it. So there's what's happening with Letitia James. I've got some craziness today to also share with you out of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In Arlington, Virginia, this is a very thing. one of those school districts where they keep letting boys into the girls' locker rooms, and that's not just high school boys. Also, adult men who pretend to be women, for those of you in the D.C. metro area, by now you've probably heard this name, but maybe perhaps nationally

you've heard this too. There's a sex offender by the name of Richard Cox. I swear to you, that's his real name. He pretends to be a woman. And then he goes into, take a look at this guy. Let me just show you how insane this person looks. This is Richard Cox and he's been going into Northern Virginia pool facilities for girls and pretending that he's a woman. He's just a really ugly dude. He comes right out of Perf Central casting. Look at that dude. And so he keeps going in. He's a sex offender. He keeps going into all of these places. So in Arlington, Virginia, they've got this huge problem. where the officials keep selling out the girls.

They keep allowing sex offender men into the locker rooms. And they also are allowing boys to go into these spaces. And it's led to all sorts of chaos. And so yesterday, Virginia's lieutenant governor, Winsom Sears, she's running for governor right now. Virginia's got this off-off-year election cycle. So the elections this year for governor. Virginia's lieutenant governor, Winston-Sears,

decided that she would personally, attend the Arlington School Board meeting in order to rip the leaders in that school board a new one. Take a look at Cut Five. Here's Winsome Sears yesterday. My name is Winsome Earl Sears. I'm a Marine. I am a mother. I'm a grandmother. I'm an immigrant to this great country. It was my job growing up in Jamaica to dust the picture of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I also served as vice president on the Virginia State Board of Education. I have sat where you, are sitting and let me tell you what is happening in our schools right now is just wrong. It's dangerous.

It's insane and it has to stop. Here's the truth. There are two sexes, boys and girls, and for generations we've understood this, that they deserve their own sports teams, their own locker rooms, their own bathrooms. That's not discrimination. It is common sense. But here in Arlington, the trust between parents and schools is being broken. When girls lose their privacy, when boys are private.

punished for speaking plain truth when parents are silenced for simply asking questions. That's not education. That's indoctrination. No. And she mentions boys being punished in Loudoun County, Virginia. There were some boys who were punished after they were filmed by a girl who was using their locker room. The girls in the locker room filming the boys. The boys reporting this to the school authorities, guess who gets in trouble? The boys. The boys got suspended by the school system in Loudoun County, just in case you're wondering how crazy Northern Virginia is just outside the nation's capital. I'm telling you, President Trump should personally go and strip them all of their federal funding, take it away, hundreds of millions of dollars. Bye-bye, it's gone. I'd love to

see him do that. We'll see if he does. But outside of that meeting in Arlington, Virginia, crazy Arlington, Virginia, there was also some wild action happening there. There was a woman A lefty woman carrying a racist sign to attack the lieutenant governor. Take a look at cuts. Well, before I show this, it's cut to you, actually. I want to show you a picture of the sign. Probably worthwhile to show you a photo first. Here.

Oh, you have the photo? Okay. All right, let's show everybody what's going on here. Okay. Okay. the image for those of you who are watching us it says hey winsome this is this lefties holding up this sign if trans can't share your bathroom then blacks can't share my water fountain now you see what she's doing she's reverting back to form it's just an age old democrat talking point

that black people can't share her space because she's white she's a lefty and she's She's a bigot. Hey, Winston, if trans can't share your bathroom, then blacks can't share my water fountain. So an attack on the black Republican lieutenant governor of Virginia, that's, isn't that the crazy? It's the craziest thing. What is wrong with these people? And Winston Sears has reacted to this. She posted to social media last night about this subject, right after this started going viral.

She said, I'm disgusted. I'm not surprised. This is the tolerant left that Abigail Spanberger defense. Abigail Spanberger is the Democrat running against Winsom Sears. I'm the sitting lieutenant governor, second in command of the former capital of the Confederate States. I'm an immigrant, a Marine. Yeah, that's right. Winsom Sears is a United States Marine. And above all, a human being, there's no place for this disgusting hatred in our Commonwealth. Anyone who doesn't condemn this sign is complicit in approving it. Well, guess what's happening

this morning? Democrats are silent on that vicious statement, that vile statement, that vile statement, by one of their own attacking Winsome Sears. And this is par for the course for these Democrats. You know, in Virginia politics, this just keeps happening. This just keeps happening. These guys keep stepping on rakes, these Democrats, in the lead up to these big elections. In fact, look back to, here's cut nine,

that back in the governor's race when Yonkin was running, Terry McAuliffe screwed up his Democrat run for governor by attacking parents on a debate stage. Take a look at this. Vito books, Glenn, not to be knowledge about it, also take them off the shelves. And I'm not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decision.

You vetoed it. So, yeah, I've stopped the bill that I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. I don't think parents should be involved in what kids learn. I don't think parents should be telling schools what they teach, said Terry McCullough. That stupidity ended up being a kill shot for that Democrats campaign. So these Democrats, they do this pretty routinely.

And that wasn't the only event in that run between Yonkin and McCallough that got super crazy where Democrats were being complete morons. Do you remember this? You remember the Lincoln Project guys? Lincoln Project members, this Democrat anti-Trump organization that calls itself the Lincoln Project, They posed as white supremacists outside of a Virginia Republican Party event. And I'm telling you, look how comically stupid these people are. Look at this.

Look, are you serious? Look at this guy. One of the so-called white supremacists is a black dude holding a tiki torch. These people are idiots. They're really, really stupid. And they keep doing it. they keep doing it so you stay you keep doing it fellas you're doing great you're doing wonderful you just keep being open bigots in public and you see how that goes for you the tenant governor

winsome seers getting a big boost from the idiots on the left again last night as she speaks common sense at an arlington school board meeting boy all of those school boards deserve to have their funding stripped really quickly now as you can imagine we're going to have a gigantic national radio show today if you'd like to join me you can do it 12 to 3 Eastern time. Go to the vinshow.com to find your local listings. And we'll be doing that also live on rumble rumble.com slash vince. Always so good to be speaking to this audience, the best damn audience in media. Thank you, as always for being with me. I'll be back next week with a bunch of great shows, I promise.
